Racing forwards towards Tiamat, you realize that you won't be able to reach Tiamat and Marduk in time, the two giants are just too big for you to accomplish such a thing, even with the superhuman speed you now possess, the two are simply too far away to reach... but for you, distance is just a vector of which you can choose to ignore entirely. With that in mind, you hold your hand out as you run towards the two deities, forming a humongous shield just in front of Tiamat's bare stomach, a glittering barrier of gold forms in front of her just as the nocked arrow is let loose towards the giant woman.

The humongous arrow clashes against the mighty golden shield you put in place for a second before the force of the blow and the strength of the barrier cause the huge arrow to disintegrate almost entirely, exploding into shards of wood and divine metal. "What?!" Marduk is clearly surprised by the strength of the barrier that had blocked his attack, his thundering voice boomed around the temple. "What manner of trickery is this?!"
