The man scuffs his boots on the ground for a moment, seeming to think about his response.
"... something quite important, I'd wager. A few of your comrades are doing battle with something. I'd heard you were bored, and the whole ordeal was on my mind anyways, so there you go."
@CrimsonStarFallen
Matricardo finds a small group, likely familial, outside of an apartment block a good ways out. A man in the group responds, coupled with a good bit of nervous laughter.
"Sicher nicht hier!"
@Lou_change
The process goes off mostly without a hitch, although certain more blood-filled organs, such as the liver, seem much more populated by the specks.
@Andykhang
ILEK simply gets some rather concerned looks in response.

Curiously, further out from the river, structures seem to be destroyed more conventionally, having collapsed or buckled under structural damage rather than being changed. There are even actual corpses left, even if most are unrecognizable due to decomposition or being crushed by rubble. However, further in and closer to the water's edge, things become more similar to the state of Apex and Nuuk.
@Paul_Frank
Given that the Angel is moving hundreds of times faster than the mayor, time isn't exactly a concern. However, upon opening the laptop, accompanied by the standard windows sign-in screen, is a different area asking for a fingerprint and "code phrase."
@Overlord775
As the Satyr's open up with plant-based and fire attacks, several of the new soldiers pull some kind of contraption from their back, spewing large torrents of a plasma-based flame into the fray. This has two major effects, the first obviously being the destruction or severe damaging of the attacking plants, with the second causing the soldier's much hotter flame to snuff out the others. This is due to it consuming the nearby oxygen much, much faster than the Satyr's flames, suffocating them. This also destroys or badly damages many of the creatures summoned by the fungalord, their paralysis seeming to trap their trigger fingers in the firing position.
The soldiers didn't seem to be expecting an attack from above, especially with how extreme it was. The burst eyes flood the area in boiling acid, many of the soldiers unable to move out of it. However, many who were clearly paralyzed for a short moment start moving again shortly after, and the reason is clear with some closer observation. That being the suits they're wearing are moving in their stead. This is obviously not great for their health, but it's certainly more advantageous than standing still.
The balance of power is quickly thrown into a dumpster, which is them pushed off a cliff, with the fungus' firing of their weapon: the Witching Hour. From the barrel spews forth a massive gout of black flames, not merely burning everything in its path to a crisp, but going even further, filling the soldier's suits with inordinate amounts of blood and turning the ground it touches, and many of the suits, to obsidian. The world itself seems to reel from that one attack alone.

The first footage found on the camera, and what seems to get played by Dieman randomly pressing the button, looks to be several old-timey men talking in a room with some kind of black-and-white and film grain filters put over it. The conversation appears to escalate until the two start fist-fighting, until one seems to die. The camera shakes slightly as this happens, and the other man looks around, confused, before walking out of frame. The camera seems to lean forwards before the footage cuts off.

"I see. We'll start at the beginning then:
"Sometime ago, probably a few billion years at minimum, some cosmic asshole popped into existence of its own accord. Skipping ahead those billions of years, about six months ago it..."
He throws his hands in the air, as though flabbeghasted.
"Breathed or some shit, I dunno. Point is, it let off something that keeps sweeping through worlds, altering and moving things. This world is pretty lucky to have not undergone an instantaneous vacuum collapse. Best we can assume, those winds brought fungal shit you've probably heard of and the twenty-four chucklefucks you've been looking up on my database, and a bit later on, you and about a dozen more. It probably caused some stuff in the meantime, but differentiating between it and the shit the original asses did is a bit difficult."
"The most active of the others that appeared alongside you are fighting some asshole in Nuuk at the moment. We don't have a name, so lets call it Chad Thundercock for argumentative purposes. It seems to be another direct result of those aforementioned let-off changes, actually altering things about the world now. Thundercock here claims to be nature itself possessing the body of one Bjorn Johannsson, one of those extreme environmentalists who actually ***** in the woods like a bear. How accurate is its claim? Hell if I know, but considering it grounds and reinforces the normal laws of the universe around it like some kinda mug, it's not exactly unlikely."
"As for me, the gubment people call me Reaver, so you should to, since I don't even remember my actual name frankly. I'm one of the original two dozen that got here. Some benefactors offered me a good deal for being on their side and working for them, so that's what I chose. Ain't like any of the other guys are doing anything at the moment, the *******."
"Anything else you want?"
@nuuk fight gang
While everyone is preparing or the coming battle, something strange happens to the thing. On its right pectoral, or whatever equivalent it possesses, a large hole appears, as though the area was blasted through by some projectile. However, things behind the thing are not visible through it, meaning whatever damaged it didn't pass through, but that's not the weirdest thing occurring. Small specks of black flame and ash come from the hole, as splinters are seemingly held in the air above it. The splinters and the area around the wound rapidly turn a complete black, not merely charred, but pitchblende dark, like obsidian.
Seemingly in response to both the wound and Corrins manifestation of another particularly egregious phenomena, the thing recoils slightly, before letting out a deafening shriek from where its head should've been. The scream isn't merely loud, but experiencing it brings to mind images and sensations of intolerable suffering committed by man, whether against each other or the world at large. That alone causes what could best be described as emotional whiplash, along with the actual whiplash from the physical noise itself.
Then, the pustules burst under their own pressure.
A fetid, burnt-looking wood erupts from the thing's neck, instantly filling the space held with Aya's telekinetic force with innumerable tendrils of foliage before finding infinitesimal cracks in the wall and seeming through, as water escapes from a fist. Just before visibility on the body itself is lost, it can be seen to flail about, as though dragged along by another invisible force.
Now free of Aya's containment, whatever new form the thing has taken grows stupendously quickly, sending out immense shockwaves simply by moving at all. All portions acting at once, it forms another wall of material over Aya's, seemingly as another wall of defense, The rest growing into what can best be described as a sort of horned snake-head. The new head quickly looks around, and eventually focuses on Corrin, its gaze alone turning the stone around and beneath her to boiling magma.
And then, it lets out a horrific bellow, following by a grotesque burst of flame.
Everything about the flame is... simply wrong. It writhes and flows like living matter or water, it spreads through the air like pollen, it sticks to whatever it touches like Napalm, the stench alone is raw poison, and the heat... the heat is utterly unbearable. Even if it wasn't as insanely hot as it is, to the point that the somewhat distant water level around Nuuk can be seen to instantly evaporate for many tens of meters out, it intrusively forces sensations of burning alive, of withering away under an oppressive, ever-present heat, of the horrible deaths heat can cause into the minds of those nearby, as though warning them of exactly what it can and intends to do. Even Aya's flames are only kept upon her by their constant generation, and would otherwise be snuffed out. And of course, Corrin and Velan are suffering the worst of it by a massive margin, both due to it being directed at her and being a subject of special ire by the thing respectively.
During all of this, the warps indicative of the differences between the thing's world and the world Velan has constructed seem to disappear. A close eye would show that this is most certainly not a good thing, as it merely shows that the area around the thing has had its rules grounded and nailed down to such a degree that Velan's world can't even try to encroach on it.
