He took another step.
THE Infinite Step deposited him before the Ira Custodes in the specific fraction of an instant that his Apeiron engineering permitted, close enough that the Gilded warrior's perception had registered his departure from the prior position but had not yet completed the calculation of where the arrival would occur.
His tail moved first!
It lashed outward toward the Custodes's head and heart simultaneously, the spear-point of compressed Infinity at its end splitting its trajectory along two separate arcs that converged on the two targets from angles that a single appendage should not have been able to cover, the engineering of his form permitting articulations that ordinary anatomy did not!
The tail found the Custodes's chest with one arc and his skull with the other, the impacts landing in the same moment, and the force carried through both contact points with the full density of Nearu Absolute Infinity behind each!
BOOM!
The Custodes's body tore.
