Is this immeasurable speed?

[FriendOfTheTeaParty]

Weird case but it's a physical movement thing rather than just time travel.

Shiv saw Gone’s skill for what it was. He, too, was a Chronomancer, and he realized that her Reflexes and Chronomancy were likely fused together based on how she moved. She wasn't in the present, not entirely. It seemed like as she moved faster, she simply cast herself further into the future. There was a displacement between her visible self and the Chronomancy field that outlined her silhouette. But more importantly, the Chronomancy field was filled with lifeforce instead of her body still trapped in the present.

That made Shiv realize he was looking at something of a temporal afterimage, and with just how fast Gone moved, even without Chronomantic enhancement, it was little wonder why the dense jungle of darkness couldn't claim her as a victim. But it was only a matter of time before she made a mistake, before the darkness encircled her and drowned her. Even the fastest swimmer would grow tired, and there was no out-swimming the ocean itself. They were Legends, but Legends were no different from other insects when it came to the overwhelming might of a god.

His hands went slack, his muscles went limp, and he nearly crashed down on the ground.

Then something impacted Veronica at blistering speeds again. Gone bounced off the Councilwoman's chest like a cannonball sliding off a ship's hull, and her golden quills were pulsating with such power that Shiv felt his Chronomancy field come apart from the sheer temporal friction she emitted. Veronica flinched back, her Reflexes outmatched for once. But her flesh flashed red, gold, and silver—then she properly teleported right behind Shiv.

And just then, the lightning coursing around the goblin's body flowed outward. It spilled over into Shiv, and the world around him slowed. It wasn't like time stopping when he used his Chronomancy. No, instead he felt part of time flinging him forward. The present had been outpaced, and his speed was something else altogether. But it wasn't his speed. It was a speed born of Gone. And that speed flowed over into the Hydra as well, and in a crushing instant, he exploded forward.

This time, the matter around Solzimort scattered. It was like a projectile cleaving a clean tunnel through a crashing wave. The hydra let out a loud "Whee!" as he zoomed through the crawlspace, bursting out from passing cubes, surprising groups of prisoners and wardens still warring with each other. As the Hydra crashed into them, he spilled through their bodies as well, phasing through their physical forms without ever being impeded.

And just as fast as the Hydra came, he was gone, like liquid lightning in motion.

"Broken godsdamn moon," Shiv managed through clattering teeth. "Hell of a skill you got there." The goblin didn't reply. She was too busy channeling her power through everyone.

As they grew even faster, the Hydra's body was enwreathed by a massive bolt of golden lightning. The world outside slowed; the world within turned smooth. It was like Shiv was gliding through a space consumed by grease. Air friction became non-existent, and even the grip of time slackened. With every second they remained in motion, the sheer amount of Chronomancy spilling out from Gone only grew.

The Deathless beheld the Legendary goblin and found himself stunned by her Skill Fusion. She wasn't just fast and always getting faster; she was displaced forward into time. They started a second ahead of everyone else, leaving only an echo of herself in the past. But with every passing moment, that single second grew by increments, and they lurched further and further ahead.

The effects flowed through Shiv as well. He didn't resist it with his Shapeless Tides; he felt his own body elongate as if it were a piece of dough. Looking behind, there was a smear of gold and blurry motion, and at the end of that messiness was another version of himself from over a second ago.

The skinned monster never stopped smiling. Something about that inspired Shiv, made him keep going. He remembered Udraal's lesson. He had to switch lores between different skills. He needed to add pieces from himself as well. But right now, he wasn't just himself. There was Adam as well. Shiv froze time. It didn't buy him much more room for his sabotage, but it did delay the Ascendants.

Their Avatars weren't all immune to Shiv's Strider of the Unbending Path, and that forced the Ascendants themselves to use other means to get to him, other means that were being stymied by his many allies.

Another strike came from above. A flash of Animancy hissed down in an impending blow. Shiv felt the shiver in the air. He'd been in enough battles to guess what was about to happen. He prepared for death. It never came. Gone crashed down ahead of him, her clawed fingers tearing into Anthony's arm. The old man gritted his teeth, wrenched his arm free, and got atop the goblin. He brought his knife down. Gone grabbed his wrists. Gone was fast. Gone was faster than even time itself. But Gone wasn't very strong.
