Blocks one hit from Scion

I hadn't been using Glory Girl's force field because I'd hoped to continue getting better advancements with Crawler's powers; they'd been good enough to deal with any damage that I'd been dealing with so far. I switched those force fields on as I felt bodies start to die; they only worked for one attack before collapsing, but that bought time for my bodies to try to escape and that meant that bought time for me to find a solution before he was able to track down every version of me and kill them all.

I scattered my bodies out across the dimensions; if I was in cities when he attacked me, it was likely that the collateral damage would be devastating. I needed to keep the world safe if any of this was to mean anything.

I placed my bodies over empty Fae cities, in empty stretches of empty worlds, in places as far apart as I could possibly find. I tried every power I had to remain unseen, but he was able to see through all of them. Invisibility, being air, nothing seemed to work. He simply followed a body, as inexorable as a serial killer in a slasher film, and even if I simply moved to a different world, he was able to follow me anywhere I went.

One Fae city went up in a blaze of golden light, then another, and then another.

It took time to open a doorway, and he was moving almost as quickly as I was. In the time it was taking me to move through a doorway, even at super speed, he was already blasting at me a second time, and Glory Girl's force field had a cool down period that wasn't a limitation enforced by a parasite. It was a requirement of physics. All the power in the world, but bounded temporally.

I appeared over Africa, above the Fae armies that had settled outside some of the major cities after stripping them of their citizens. The golden beams wiped out those armies along with the empty cities. If I lost, it wouldn't matter. If by some miracle I won, then it would help to destroy the Fae foothold in the area. Whole swaths of countryside were simply wiped away into nothingness, leaving ugly craters in the earth.
