This wasn't working.
Ves initially thought that the Subjugation King was kind enough to turn his energy barrier into a tribulation lightning dispenser.
As long as Ves was willing to bear the pain of tribulation lightning zapping through his body, he only had to approach and strike the energy barrier in order to receive another dose of tribulation energies.
His body broke down and reformed into a slightly stronger version after every strike.
Ves felt as if he had turned into the lab rat that had learned that pressing a button on the wall would dispense a piece of cheese for him to eat.
Again and again, Ves picked himself up and tried to punch the energy barrier in various ways.
None of his attacks weakened the energy barrier in the slightest.
Neither the Dread Marines firing at the clone of the Subjugation King in the distance nor the various punches and kicks from Ves broke the equilibrium.
