The power was impressive. If it connected…
But Ren' beast canceled it on time. Energy dispersion dismantling the projectile just before it could reach the Wolverine.
Not violent destruction but careful disassembly. Elements being separated and redirected in ways neutralizing the threat without permitting a secondary explosion that could cause collateral damage.
The technique was sophisticated… Counter-rotation at precisely calculated opposing momentum.
And with the serpent's last card denied, the Wolverine exploited the opening that the massive attack's creation and cancellation had generated.
The creation had required the serpent to commit fully to the technique. All its attention focused on maintaining the projectile's stability. No reserves available for simultaneous defense. The cancellation had created a moment of shock where the serpent hadn't yet reoriented to new threats.
That window was sufficient.
