[Photon Step]
Eugen divided his own body into luminous afterimages. They weren't clones, nor illusions.
They were delayed light trajectories in space, each of his movements leaving an echo of photons that persisted for seconds.
"What the hell is this!?" Blandina exclaimed, partially losing focus.
Five Eugens at the same time, all moving, all seeming real, light distorting perception.
The twins began attacking photon echoes, irons piercing images that disappeared.
They almost collided with Blandina, getting tangled up among themselves.
"STOP!" She screamed, dodging the irons.
Eugen's system notified:
```
[ENERGY COLLECTION]
◊ No more holy energy available in the field
◊ Imago Dei compilation: 7.01%
```
"What a pity..." Eugen murmured, "...I have to go. Just when I wanted to test the [Imago Dei] on you..."
Blandina managed to intercept him, appearing from behind.
But Eugen turned, grabbing her throat with his armored hand.
