The Clash of Monsters

White's Point of View

Watching as Amy appeared to transform herself into a Lovecraftian monster, I was amazed by her ingenious move. My thoughts wandered over on how to counter it.

As the rain of swords and knives continued to pour around me, I continued to wonder how I could counter Amy's monster form. Gazing at this new form that was about to be finished, a brilliant idea struck me.

Using Queen Administrator's almost limitless processing and multitasking capabilities, I gathered all the water swords around me and turned them into a giant, ever-shifting, spider projection made entirely out of water that is completely under my control.

Amy's Point of View

Watching in awe as my opponent transformed her deadly attack into a giant protector for her main body, I knew I couldn't just stand there watching her finish the construct, so I attacked her projection. But right as I was about to hit it, the construct simply flowed out of the way, creating a hole in its body, allowing the clawed hand of my creature to pass right through.

Backing off to gain some distance, I then extended the innumerable amount of tentacles around my entire creature'sbody and tried to find the real body by entangling the entire projection's body.

To counter my move, she cut all of my creature's tentacles that were extended by using a giant water slash. But I, of course, expected that, too, and so I programmed the tentacles in advance so that when my tentacles fell down and landed on the ground, they turned into hundreds of car-sized, armadillo-like creatures that would try burrowing into the water spider's body.

But I did not rejoice because my opponent had already developed a counter for this. By speeding up the currents around the entire projection to the point where the water was like blades, she killed all the armadillos that managed to burrow into the spider projection. The rest, she simply ignored or stepped on.

But I couldn't think further on my next moves as the giant water spider simply dashed and appeared right in front of me like a blur. I could barely even perceive the construct's movements with my creature's thousands of eyes that were looking right at it.

"How did she become so fast?" I thought to myself. "Before, I could see her movements just fine," I wondered in panic, as my creature blocked the front leg, shaped like a scythe, from bisecting my creature.

I couldn't think any further, as I had to create more brains to help process and perceive the barrage of slashing attacks that were coming from my opponent.

In the end, it took me 50 extra brains and 10 minutes to start countering my opponent's endless slashing attacks, instead of blocking or tanking most of my opponent's attacks.

And it took me even longer to figure out what she was doing to move so fast as to be almost imperceptible to my eyes—I had to upgrade twice just to be able to perceive my opponent properly.

As for how she does it: she moves her projection in such an optimal and perfectly synchronized way as to exponentially increase her speed, so that when she moves, it is almost impossible for me to perceive it without upgrading my eyes and my processing capabilities.

Of course, now I can perceive and react to most, if not all, of her slashing attacks, and sometimes I can even counter.

But of course, I didn't just sit there and take it. I had been planning on how to counter this barrage of attacks for the past five minutes now, and I think I figured out a way. I just needed to wait for an opening.

And that opening appears when my opponent's construct slows down because of a flying person flying by and distracting my opponent for just a second.

But a second is just long enough for the opportunity to launch all my tentacles all at once, pushing me away and gaining me some distance and some needed time to set up my plan.

"I wonder who that flying person was?"

Shaking my head from the distracting thoughts, I instead focus on setting up my scheme.

"I'm sure that person isn't anyone important," I thought to myself.
