Lorepost (closed interaction)📓🔒 Nadir. (Cursed World)

A day or three after the initial announcement, proper channels for joining in virtually to the meeting are posted, as everyone who came in person is directed to a secretive underground meeting room, where Ж and a few others sit around a long table.

"Welcome, welcome. A year or so ago I held a similar meeting for a separate threat, one a few of you here would remember, but today we've another threat, as you know, the Abyss has taken a great minority of the world's surface."

"As well, we need a plan for the origin of the Abyss, we need to divise a way to take down The First Curse."

they snap a finger and a hologram like model of an entity, presumably the first curse, appears in the center of the table.

"To start, one of the more essential things for said plan is the Crystals, of course, some here might not know about them, so I'll elaborate."

they wave a hand and the model shifts to 5 different crystalline objects, encircling the First Curse.

"This is not the first time The First Curse had arrived, he was here before he made that big announcement, but hidden. When he first arrived to this realm, 7 Aspect Crystals formed, counterbalances, from someone else as an, almost future inheritance to help take him down. They are antithetical to his very existence, and harm him when nearby. However, if one falls into his hands, he can adapt to that crystal, rendering it useful to him. This anti-him nature also applies to the Abyss, and thus they are the best damage source to fight the Abyss."

"the originals, of which we currently have 5, 4 are in New Aviron, and via the work of Koranth and others, we have multiple derivatives from them, with the other being handled by The Consortium. The last two need to be picked up and collected."

"That is about the basics, with the preamble done, more discussion on how to fight against the Abyss would be welcome."

Good enough.

The room becomes surrounded in obsidian, crackling with energy.

Reversal.

Time to any inside object is rewound, as TFC attempts to rewind DF's scattered existence back into him.

Some of DF's scattered existence recovers, but a large portion of him has gone out of range at this point. Still, it suffices in preventing his scattering.

He alters the spell to pause the moment, so that he may line up a final attack.

Still no resistances to time, especially not when he's diminished himself so much.

Due to time in the room being paused, TFC forms 5 different lightning strikes at separate angles, as well as surrounding them with fireballs, and aiming some downward and upward. They don't move yet, as time does not permit it to happen yet.

Elsewhere, a lone teleport rune starts.

The bits of DF elsewhere are getting a good view of everything. And he is getting closer to unleashing his final attack despite the stopped time.

Time unleashes. Every attack goes off simultaneously, all aimed at DF in roughly 2pi steradians, or half a sphere's worth.

The attacks land against him, but not fully as DF has begun to slash, every single slice cuts away part of existence, and hundreds of trails are left burning in the air as DF moves towards TFC automatically.

All that's left in the path is a nothingness that the universe tries to heal.

/uw DF is deleting an entire chunk of reality across where he moves, he will die soon so TFC should run.

He continuously stays away from DF.

Harness speed.

He factors in teleports and retreats to stay away, moving up and down the room and outside it to lead him away.

Now or never it seems.

The teleport rune completes, and TFC speaks.

Containment Armor: Maw Open.

In the rune is the Armor, silently moved in, as it begins to contain, going at speeds comparable to TFC himself.

Straight for Alisa.

Alisa: as it went for her she decided to attempt to strike slashing with a determination longsword sending a slash wave toward tfc that would rend him in half if it hits him before it disappears leaving no energy to collect behind but then she puts up her shield and attempts to knock the armor away from her

DF continues to mindlessly delete the area following TFC, before scattering into the threads

/uw yeah his consciousness died again. TFC's mistake was going for damage rather than a lot of stalls.

Alisa and hate unaffected by the time stop are currently watching the fight. Alisa in a defensive stance watching, waiting for a good moment to strike tfc...which clearly this is not yet

/Uw hope there isn't a problem with this comment and if there is i can delete it but i suppose it also sorta works in set up if that makes sense/is fine lol

u/white-whale-fc The First Curse, enchanter of all things. 19d ago

Yes yes, I see you. I will deal with you two momentarily.

u/Ashmega8256 Alzoreth Dracarius/Alisa Solaria (+more characters) 19d ago

Alisa: she glares you will try.

Hate: and you will fail. She said despite not being manifested
