The outcome had indeed been highly improbable, and yet… the Master of Horrors made it probable. The power behind that spear throw was not something an entity could simply shrug off.
The veil of reality itself had been completely erased just by its shockwaves.
But at the very last moment before the spear tore through the Cosmic Horror, Cthulhu careened and lashed out with one of its massive tentacles, sacrificing it to alter the trajectory of his spear, even if it was just slightly.
Its tentacle violently exploded upon impact, barely doing its job of altering the path of the spear. Moreover, Cthulhu had been slightly slower to react, resulting in a situation where Alex's spear took a portion of its face.
The humanoid Cosmic Horror lost more than one tentacle. Where black and vile blood should have been flowing freely, the carved out portion leaked quintessential essence… black and vile quintessential essence.
