Editing Scion (section)

===Post-[[Timeskip]]===
During the final battle against [[Jack Slash]], Scion showed up. His presence disrupted [[Dinah]]'s power, causing problems for the heroes.<ref name="26a c1" /> Scion briefly noted that the shards in the area were very mature, but despaired at the pointlessness of it all due to the cycle having been disrupted. Before he could intervene in the battle, he was stopped from coming closer by [[Weaver]], who flew to intercept him in the air. She convinced him that the situation was delicate, and that he would do more harm than good. Weaver then tried to convince Scion to turn away and go somewhere far away, to no avail.<ref name="I26" />
	
Instead, Scion observed the fight between Jack Slash and [[Golem]] below, then the [[Harbinger clones]]. After multiple failed attempts by Weaver to move Scion away and obscure his vision, Scion turned his attention back to Jack Slash and Golem. It was then that he was trapped in a time loop by [[Gray Boy]]. Scion was unfazed by this development, continuing to watch the fighting. He saw the Harbinger clones being defeated and taken in by [[Number Man]] and [[Contessa]], then saw Jack Slash become looped by Gray Boy.<ref name="I26" />

While the heroes thought that they had won, Jack Slash talked under the containment foam that covered him, audible to Scion's omniscient senses. He criticized Scion for being a "blank slate," and asked why Scion performed good deeds instead of reverting to violence and predation, something inherent in the ancestors of humans and entities alike. While [[Tattletale]] caught onto what was going on, dispatching people to try and drown out Jack Slash's speech, it did nothing to prevent Scion from hearing. When Lisette, brought in from a Dragoncraft as a last ditch effort, told Scion to turn away, he did, breaking through Gray Boy's time bubble with ease. He ignored Lisette's further attempts to talk with him, flying away until he was above the Atlantic Ocean.<ref name="I26" />
	
Above the ocean, Scion introspected. He thought about how the acts of heroism he'd been performing for so many years had brought him no joy. He looked into possible futures, such as one where Jack Slash had died and hadn't talked to Scion, and saw that he himself had eventually came to the same conclusion regardless. Coming to a decision, Scion resolved to begin experimenting with another course of action. Aiming at Kevin Norton's birthplace, Scion fired a beam and annihilated the [[United Kingdom]].<ref name="I26" />
