By the time she starts thinking, it’s over
Taylor has enough calculation power to account for almost infinite variations of an attack from other universes, noting that Parahumans has over 10^90 universes.
The Number Man was already moving, the mathematical notation filling his field of vision, singing in his ears, running along his skin. He could taste it, virtually swam in a clear, precise, organized outline of the world around him. His weight shifted as he found his center of balance. He kicked out to push himself to the left. Three-zero-one-six manifested the strike as though his arm were exponentially larger, the attack repeated in almost infinite variations through the space in front of him, as though he were leveraging every possible version of himself that could have been here, in this basement, drawing them together in one coordinated strike. |
With that, the process will begin anew. The same things will occur. This has happened no less than one hundred and seventy times, with little variation. Each time it occurs, realities are left dead, the grace period before resources run out once again is shorter. That the number of worlds exceed the number of particles that might exist in one world’s universe is inconsequential; the creatures multiply exponentially. |
Shock Rock is not bloodlusted, so plenty of time for Taylor to teleport.
my bad, I used the wrong key
| Then I began opening portals across all of the different worlds I could reach. I began gathering bugs en masse. I’d heard once there were ten quintillion bugs in my world. Eighteen zeroes. I couldn’t control that many. Or, to be precise, I couldn’t afford the time to collect that many. Fourteen zeroes? If I had a dozen worlds, each with really good swamps and rainforests to tap into, my relay bugs to help extend my pitiful, three-hundred foot range? That was doable. [...] But I’d deployed a tenth of the bugs on my location. I was hidden within an impenetrable cloud of bugs. I raised Doormaker’s portals as shields around me. |
Shock Rock follows, He does interstellar portal travels throughout the galaxy and can Increase or decrease Portal sizes (He can simply just shut the portal.)
He has always flown with superfast speed to capture enemies right after transforming in mere seconds thanks to his reaction time the thing with his Space armor that gives him this blitz type moments where he uses it to close the distance between enemies beforing eventually incapacitating her with an Energy cage or simply piercing through via "Crap tons of energy weapons listed on his profile" I don't believe Taylor Herbert is an interstellar spaceflight user compared to SR and other Omni-naut forms that Ben uses to Bust meteors so therefore overall flight expeirence of SR should definitely be leagues superior to her.
Shock Rock can also BFR and has At least Kilometers wide range casually. Along with large Area of Effect (1, 2, 3) plus he has endless supply of energy he generates from his body to spam AOE from a distance meanwhile constantly flying in the orbit to his desired range to avoid trouble.
Khepri travels through universes/timelines, so interstellar travel is not useful for pursuit.
Enemies he know are dangerous or are causing destruction, but here he is fighting an unknown enemy so charging in at maximum speed is reckless and too bloodlusted. And he'll have to figure out trillions of insects acting as a fog, and properly Capes (including some with invulnerability such as Alexandria) under Khepri's control whose mere presence will be a distraction, so he won't be able to locate her anyway. If he decides to observe the movement of insects and other capes for clues for example, then Khepri would be in an other dimension.
While Shock Rock has the potential to open dimensional portals, he doesn't display the skill. In fact Azmuth used a device to open a small portal and asked Ben to provide energy to expand it, instead of asking Ben to use Shock Rock to open a portal on his own.
