The collision echoed across Observable Existence through illusory screens that spared no detail.
Countless beings witnessed the moment when THE Hadean Spear of Civilization met the hammer of Beowulf, THE Primordial Armor. They observed the flash of light, heard the horrid sound that accompanied the impact, and watched as a First Scale entity remained unmoved while a Second Scale entity's weapon recoiled backward.
Their interpretations varied according to their understanding!
In a distant area.
"He was holding back," declared a Primordial Architect observing from a domain within THE Wastes. "Beowulf clearly underestimated his opponent and pulled his strike at the last moment. No First Scale being could genuinely block a Proterozoic attack."
Around him were 2 more Primordial Architects who nodded in agreement, finding comfort in logic that preserved the hierarchy they understood.
An even further distance away.
