The third was a modified explosive I recognized. It bounced off the ground between Leviathan’s foot and the hand he had planted on the ground, landed a ways behind and to the side of him, and exploded much like any other grenade might. What I recognized was the shimmer in the air around it, a near perfect sphere encompassing the surrounding area, catching Leviathan’s leg, the end of his tail, part of his waist and stomach.
Whoop, gotcha!
The explosion made Leviathan rear back, and the water that followed in his wake moved slower in that bubble, slowed down with each passing second.
Okay, yeah, this is definitely Bakuda’s tech.
The time slowing bubble would’ve really gotten him stuck if he hadn’t reared back. It’s hard to get your body parts out of a space that experiences time at a crawl.
Leviathan himself wasn’t as affected, and he had one foot and an upper body outside of the bubble to help him pull himself free.
…except apparently he’s partially resistant to he warping of spacetime itself?? Or is that just because he’s a speedster?
He raised his leg free of the golden string goop and up out of the sphere, lashed his tail toward the crowd I was at the back of, catching three people, entwining the tip around their arms, legs and necks.
Uh oh.
He flicked them into the center of the time distortion bubble, where they got caught, unable to make their exit fast enough to avoid being frozen in time.
Well… shit.
There goes that cleverness they weren’t supposed to underestimate.
