None of this is going to stop him. Only slow him down. But the entities have their own way to escalate.
Urgency. The entity broadcasts to its partner a memory of an earlier cycle, one that ended in a forced exit. The two of them begin collecting their own shards. Parahumans across the worlds die in droves as their passengers get excised from their brains and reabsorbed into the whole.
Once the whole is reassambled, the trillions upon trillions of shards worming their way through dimensions because they'd dwarf the planet in any one world...they still can't hurt the opponent any more than they're already doing. But that wasn't the plan. They leave.
They leech what energy they can, from this world and from the others. The energy is released, and the planet shatters. The shattering reverberates through every dimension the entities are capable of reaching, and all of those earths end up equally destroyed. The entities ride the wave outward, with their sorceress prize.
