Leon activated:
Shell Reverb: Tripart Echo
Karmic Loop: Advanced
Absolute Return
Instead of resisting the time shifts, Leon folded his echoes into them.
Every time Zoth-Urran rewound a second, Leon's Shell Reverb preserved that second's motion, storing it outside of the time loop.
The clash turned into a symphony of stacked momentum.
Fist met bone, bone shattered then reformed.
Staff met runes, runes bent then cracked.
Zoth-Urran adapted — bones splitting into mirrored selves from different timelines, each attacking from a different version of now.
Leon countered with an impossible spin, absorbing the triple-strike through Karmic Loop, and launched a spiraling triple-pulse uppercut.
BOOM!
The Warden's ribcage exploded into splinters — only to reassemble again, slower this time.
Leon was winning the rhythm.
But then—
Zoth-Urran stopped moving.
All at once.
And the entire arena collapsed into a singularity.
A moment in time, paused indefinitely.
