She gave me a look, I turned my attention to her armband, tried to discern where Leviathan fell on the grid. Around the same moment I figured it out, I felt him halt. “BX-8 or very close to it! He’s downtown, and he just stopped moving.”
I wonder if there’s any particular reason why he went there in particular, or if he just destroyed in whatever direction he felt like.
Also: It’s pretty clear that Leviathan has some interest in actually causing mayhem directly. If he only wanted to destroy the city, and to do so with certainty, he could hide out of sight while messing with the aquifer, but instead he’s attacking in person, allowing people to fight back. Either he’s not smart enough to think of that, or he has his reasons for this course of action.
I’m inclined to think those reasons are that it’s fun, in whatever twisted way whatever contains Leviathan’s apparent consciousness defines “fun”.
Alternatively, maybe Endbringers feed on misery and death somehow.
“You sure?” came Chevalier’s voice from the armband.
That confirms it: Those who aren’t moderated in the chat don’t have their voices replaced. Makes sense, though.

“Noted. We’re teleporting forces in.”
Laserdream didn’t argue with me. We arrived at the scene of the battle a matter of seconds later. Familiar territory.
Here we go.
