For the first time in a long while, Rex felt uncertain of his survival. There was an absolution to her words as if she spoke of an universal truth.
No.
Mere mind games. Rex had consumed a God of Destruction, he had survive death itself. Whatever she had used to briefly bring uncertainty to his mind, he would dismantle it before her.
"You're right. It's a hunt."
Suddenly cutting across the battlefield it came. Nothing more than a tranquil breeze swept beside the raucous collisions cratering the landscape,
"MOERO! SHICHI-SEI PRESSURE KIIICK!"
A kick fell, a burning meteor colliding in the back of the second Mauroc's head just before the energy blasts fell.
Like a streak of light, he'd arrived just in time.
The energy did not disapate as Inanna was startled out of focus, it was simply absorbed into her arm. How had Genesis picked up on it? WHY HAD HER SHINIES BETRAYED HER?!
The woman took a step back.
"I'd rather die than hand yo-."
Only to be cut off by the Stupidest Dinosaur she'd ever heard of.
... but she had heard of him.
The buffoon!
But wait, in that split second where Genesis' attention was divided- thanks in no small part to Rex's posturing- there was a faint glimmer of hope.
Or penultimate foolishness.
Inanna didn't hesitate.
A deep breath, before the plunge.
"... see you soon one way or another, Lampton."
Inanna triggered her ascension.
OT: How's it go?
Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

A wry, triumphant laughter echoed within the shared headspace of Sasheem. Perhaps it had been bluster or bravado, but his 'host' had set up a most splendid opportunity for a decisive strike... or several dozen decisive strikes. Their skillsets seemed to compliment each other quite well, he had to admit...
'We make quite the team, ja? One down, one--sorry, two--more to go and he will have learned his place.'
What an interesting majin this was... he was brash and violent, yes, but Voyavoda could sense in him a certain... dedication? Most majin had techniques that were simple, instinctual, yet this one had more complicated and refined techniques--and the werewithal to use them intelligently.
'If I see a chance to assist, I will, but until then... please, enjoy yourself some more.'

It took everything to avoid it, his blood chilling from the passing of what would have been certain erasure.
He was wrong; she had not done any conscious attempt to unnerve him, but rather it was something instinctual speaking to him for the first time in millenias. It was the fear of death.
No! He was not going to cower like some hatchling.
"Only the Strongest survive and the weak are eaten."
Forlorn shrieks of spectres filled the air as he gathered his fukushuu. Rex would make her regret upsetting him as he reared back and fired a blast of ghost hakai.
The success of Parsley's gambit couldn't even be enjoyed. She and Neva were sent hurtling to the ground below by a sneak attack by a second Auroc. Or third, since the second was destroyed by Sasheem.
She landed hard on her back and didn't move for a long moment. She was still conscious, but didn't see the need to get up and attack right away. Instead, she stayed down to see what he was going to do next.

Neva had the wind knocked out of her far more than Parsley, and in fact momentarily lost consciousness.
...maybe?
It was kind of a blur. Regardless, she felt smug and quite satisfied. She had exhausted herself to a great extent, but she had managed to rip out a portion of Mauroc's hozon... or something. She wasn't quite sure what she'd done, but something deep down inside knew the effect.
She sat up. "Parsley... I managed to..." She coughed, crimson drops spraying. "...rip out a portion of his hozon. You'll find his... regenerative ability considerably reduced, or even... eliminated." With that, she fell onto her back again.
