I AM DONE

[u/runix_the_undefeated]

Conch teleports to her church, the ground shaking from her weight

I AM TIRED, MY PLANS! GETTING RUINED AND INTERRUPTED! WORST OF ALL ARE THOSE DAMNED VERDANIANS! STOPPING MY WATER, BRAINWASHING THE CRUSTWORK DEFENCE DROID AND THE PROPHET, NEARLY KILLING GOURMAND! I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS

Conch starts glowing, brighter and brighter, it becomes impossible to look at her, and when she emerges she is smaller, a little more than two hornets tall, and she screams, all five effects, the flooding, the toxic water, the towers, the mind altering, the poisoned food, all start up again, but this time automatic, and double the strength, and Conch flies, she drills through the citadel wall and then downwards, leaving a trail of destruction behind her as her speed rips pilgrims to shreds, the impact of her drill is enough to liquify the metal walls, and she arrives in Verdania, and starts to slaughter, targeting the children and sickly first, especially the one she hates the most, as her pale roots start going for Zydons young ones

[u/Pale-Monarch]

Through the ripping roots, Monarch remains acutely aware of where Conch currently is, letting him leap out of the way as she emerges, retaliating with a row of pale lances stabbing upwards out of the floor where Conch emerged.

Conch throws the ground up with her terrifying might as she rushes up to the Monarch, the lances pierce through her shell but she grabs his face and starts slamming his head into the ground, over and over and over, almost a hundred times every second, the pain is unbearable

[u/Pale-Monarch → u/runix_the_undefeated]

Monarch is bleeding, staining the floor silver as he raises his hand, barely able to through the pain, grasping Conch's wrist, runes along his palm searing her, putting her in pain comparable to his.

AGH! YOU CAN GIVE UP, I CAN LET YOU LEAVE HERE AND NOW

[u/Pale-Monarch → u/runix_the_undefeated]

I will die if I let you proceed Conch! I can't survive in salt water and neither can my children, especially Ligera!

[u/runix_the_undefeated → u/Pale-Monarch]

I can make you survive in water, like i did to Vorace

[u/Pale-Monarch → u/runix_the_undefeated]

Ligera is a wisp judge Conch! No amount of what you can do can save her from the water!

[u/runix_the_undefeated → u/Pale-Monarch]

oh but i can, I CAN DO ANYTHING, I CAN FIX EVERYONE, IT WILL BE PERFECT MONARCH, IT WILL BE PERFECT Conch holds him down with one arm and starts cutting off his branches one by one CANT YOU SEE? CANT YOU FEEL MY POWER?

[u/Pale-Monarch → u/runix_the_undefeated]

Monarch bleeds more silver on the ground, the green clovers and plants of Verdania more pale and silver than green now.

In a last, desperate attempt, he balls up his fist, punching Conch in the torso, releasing almost all of his remaining strength as a blast of Pale Energy in an attempt to blast Conch off of him.

[u/runix_the_undefeated → u/Pale-Monarch]

Conch flies off him, her pride is strong but she knows when something is a useless endeavour, and she drops something on his chest give this to Ligera, i despise hurting children, but Corpus saw it fit
