[WW4 EVENT] The paths they've chosen. [open]

"How quaint, it looks like you crawled out of where the world put you." Amethyst eyes glowed in the darkness as they looked towards the red-headed man who walked her way. A sigh left her lips after she heard the next few words which escaped his lips, the faint clink of her wine-filled goblet being set aside as she stood.

"Very well, if that is your wish." The queen said, as without warning, or so much as a fraction of time to discern it happening, Inami's body rapidly accelerated at speeds that would make it appear as if she teleported in front of the nightmare.

Moving in a straight, linear line, the queen's open hand would impact the face of the nightmare, it's blackened surface encased entirely in her threads to enhance her bodily defense considerably, while at the same time it would seem (at least for sou Yuuki) as if all traction in the world had ceased to exist. While the titanic force, far greater than anything Inami could ever conjure, would smash into the man with nation-rending might.

The removal of traction would have a primary effect at that immediate moment, by removing the capacity of the nightmare to gain traction upon the ground, it would on top of giving the nightmare virtually no time to react, greatly inhibit his capacity for attacking. This meant the man would be unable to utilize most of his body if he was attempting to gather strength. It would also increase the already absurd difficulty that he'd face dodging the series of events that transpired.

The force of this blow, combined with the linear speeds that enacted upon the two, which had far exceeded in that brief period of time the upper limits of Mach 6 speeds, would end in Sou-Yuuki being propelled into the ocean with enough force that the impact of his body alone would force the water outwards with enough force that thirty foot tidal waves would inevitably batter the coast of France and Spain.

The question, however, was how did these actions happen? This would come from inami's own monstrous capacity to influence her environment. Let alone a city, the queen was capable of gathering influence from far grander swathes of land to utilize at her own leisure. This would be where the force came from, by rapidly accelerating kinetic energy within tens of miles surrounding her location, and focusing it upon a single focal point: the surface of her palm, she was capable of generating the otherworldly force which sou was greeted with. On top of this, the queen's control over the kinetic force was two-fold. Another 2% of her energy reserves went towards sapping sou-yuuki's own capacity to generate his kinetic force, this would greatly reduce any damage given to her for the brief period of time of this motion.

For the sudden lack of friction in his immediate area? That was another skill at play: Law removal. Inami had removed the conceptual law of resistance, and thus this meant that all that kinetic force which had enacted upon sou was capable of doing so, unimpeded by any naturally occurring counterforces. The end result? Given theoretically what slowed an object down was all the difference resistances it would naturally face when falling: Wind resistance, friction, air pressure, etc. However, because in the mile radius between the ground and her abode she had removed it, the result would be sou Yuuki's uncontrollable acceleration, which would continue until the male smashed into the water, which had been at the outer most edge of the domain of her technique.

Now was this something that Inami typically would do? No. The utilization of law removal on such a tangibly felt force as resistance itself had drained from her roughly 4% of her reserves, these were reserves which included her own necropolis system, and the demi-network which she had integral access to.

Now, was there a chance for Sou to mitigate this? Yes, there would be a chance, but given the fact that the queens sudden acceleration, which had been aided by her utilizing a secondary influence over the realm around her to bolster her speed and then amplify it by many folds through making her body the receptacle for all that rapidly accelerating kinetic energy before it transferred, meant that she had for all intents and purposes crossed the few meters between them in a period of time that was nearly instantaneous.

None of the damage that would occur to the nightmare would be of the queen's own doing directly. The impact of Inami's palm could have caused some sizable bruising but that would be all due to the mechanisms of how her attack functioned. The vast majority of damage would have occurred from Yuuki smashing into the ocean once he left inami's domain. The rapid deacceleration which occurred as friction, water pressure, and resisting forces enacted themselves upon the nightmare would be titanic, as seen from the result of the after-effects of the displaced water on the coastline.

Inami's somber gaze lingered upon the nightmare, the blackened threads that enshrouded her arms slowly beginning to weave themselves across her body. Energy would begin to roil like a blackened smog against her palms as she said softly to the nightmare.

"I had wished we could become friends, I guess that reality cannot come to pass."

From the queen's palm, energy would become a tangible force, a cackling lance of raw demon energy condensed within her palm, it would grow exponentially until it was roughly fifty meters in length.

"I face you then as Inami, one of the four overlords of the demon world. I will instill into your bones what it means to be Queen of the nation of strength. "
