Ben appeared to not have too much success trying to figure out what was up with the tip of the tower... But it could be chalked down to what once had been a communications device. One that was currently far from functional, even if it did provide a little power to the building itself, or at least, what was left of it. Though when he touched it, he could swear he faintly heard some sort of radio broadcast or something in his head, but it was too faint to really make out what it was saying.
Eventually, when he chose to lift up the rubble to see if there was anything underneath, there waswas stuff to be uncovered, but unfortunately... Little that was usefull, save for maybe a
flickering screen of a computer, barely functional, and badly damaged, but it looks like there might be a bit of information to access from there.
...
The blue haired woman from before appeared to have headed towards the futuristic building along with Dio... And though he had attempted to stop time, it would seem that all that it did was cause the area around them to bend and stretch momentarily... Creating a weird ripple effect, distorting the reality around them temprarily.
While his attempt to use his ability did not stop time, as both Dio and the woman entered the building, it did seem to draw another reaction from the world around them. For a moment, one could swear they saw distorted, humanoid looking figures in various places, for the briefest of moments.
This seemed to worry the woman, but... Nevertheless, she pressed onwards, with Dio.
Fortunately, the building itself was not incredibly large, and as it had tipped onto its side, access to the top floor VIA a gaping hole was quite easily managegeable. Ontop, there appeared to be some sort of
flickering holographic display of some sort, and Dio could swear he saw a map, amongst other images flickering across it. Though, it looked like one might be able to interact with it, considering the large keyboard laying near it, that seemed moderately intact.

Giorno certainly did quite the number on these creatures... And due to a majority of them having been drawn away from the pool of black tar-like substance, he was able to make quite some headway. Though, the fact that he transformed the one cart that the recon corps had brought with them... Causing numerous explosive barrels and supplies to drop to the ground evidently alarmed alot of those who were fighting off the creatures swarming the area.
Whatever may have been keeping them from getting weird looks, was evidently gone now, as there was just some things that were near impossible to hide... Let alone wave off, in a situation like this, but his horse certainly did a number... As well as the moles he had sent out to take care off the burrowing creatures, which allowed the recon corps to advance further, keeping up their efforts in trying to neutralize the substance.
Blaze, and
Sonic (if he joined in) were able to roll (and perhaps even light) some explosive barrels, those that were lit caused quite an explosion... Appearing to make the substance shrivel up briefly, and
Connor, who fired off his weapon he had acquired from the previous world was able to detonate a few of the barrels that had been rolled into the mass, but for one reason or another, did not quite go off, likely due to their fuses having been inadvertently doused at the wrong time... Which seemed to create a more widespread effect, causing the substance to look a bit more withered than before.
Unfortunately, as a result,
Connor's weapon seemed to have run out of ammunition, not just that but it...
Faded from existence, as if it somehow knew that it did not belong here... Hard to say exactly, but hey... At least he got some use out of it, right?
Supergirl in the meantime, was quite effective with using her
heat vision to stave off this black tar-like substance, as it appeared to be
receding from the titan in the center of it all. It was only when
Seisa used her Killing Art ability, that the substance seemed to
temporarily withdraw from the titan it had been enveloping, exposing its nape for a brief moment.
Before anyone had the chance to act upon it though, a member of the recon corps seemed to be quick to do so, suddenly latching onto the titan's nape with the grapples from her strange gear... Before spinning throughthe air with her blades in hand.
"Eren!!!" She cried out, slashing at the titan's nape.
Though it didn't look like she intended to deal a killing blow, instead... She appeared to have cut out a section, and pulled an
unconscious young man out from within. Quickly sailing away using her grapples, it was evident that she intended to get whoever she had just extracted from that titan's nape to safety.
As a result of this though, the titan itself, that was once stuck within this black tar-like substance began to desintegrate, causing the substance itself to began to evaporate... And just like that, the creature's that had been fighting the Recon Corps, and those who had joined them, seemed to suddenly
collapse to the ground, lifeless, their bodies quickly turning to heavy clouds of black smoke...
The surviving members of the Recon Corps, seemed to be gathering whatever they had back up, as it was evident that the battle was finally over... Judging by the lack of cannon fire back at the small outpost, where they had come from.
If it werent for the sheer amount of injured and lost soldiers that were being rushed back to base... Causing most of the Recon Corps to already begin dispersing, there probably would have been alot of questions about what Giorno just did, but... For now, it looks like they were more concerned with handling their casualties.
However, in the middle of the crater that the black tar-like substance was currently evaporating from... There appeared to be a
blue shimmer, drawing attention to some sort of
obscured item laying within. Whatever it was... It looked like it might be important, though the Recon Corps seemed not to have noticed it yet.

Howlett in the meanwhile, ran into a little difficulty at first, trying to face the creature that had apparently begun to possess boxes and the like... Appearing to form it all into one, distinctive extension of itself, like some sort of weird golem or something.
While his claws certainly proved to be able to cut through the stuff it was using to protect itself like butter, it was covering its face enough to make it difficult to tell which box it was currently housed in.
Fortunately, this was quickly corrected when two loud booming sounds rang out... Followed by a crunching noise as two cannon balls made suddenly impacted the creature, their momentum knocking loose the items that the creature had been using as makeshift "harms" in its temporary "body" it had created with various items it had drawn towards itself.
With the box the creature had been housed in temporarily exposed, Howlett was able to
cleave clean through it, causing the creature within to expose itself as it was without an object to house itself in for a moment.
Its ghastly form hovered in the air momentarily, before it attempted to dive into another box... But, a sudden sound of a musket being fired could be heart, its shot piercing the creature's head, instantly
killing the creature, causing it to fall the ground as it began to desintegrate.
If one were to look towards the source of this shot, it would appear that the young, blonde woman, who had identified herself as "Historia" earlier to Mipha and Rosa, was the one responsible for this... Having wrenched a musket from a surprised looking member of the Military Police.
In fact, alot of the civilians and soldiers alike, looked quite surprised, some even stopping in their tracks, having been prepared for a long, grueling fight... But all in all, it seemed that the battle was over... For now.
Interestingly enough, the sounds of fighting in the distance, seemed to have suddenly come to a halt as well.

@Wall Rose
A2, and
Huntress respectively, were able to put down the hulking Gorrilla like beast... And though it had been able to withstand at least one cannon ball, it was no match for A2's spear as it
stabbed it clean through the head, causing it to collapse lifelessly to the ground, its body evaporating into a thick cloud of black smoke.
It was easy... Perhaps a bit too easy, and it seemed to become more and more obvious why;
the other creatures that had once been attacking Wall Rose suddenly, and inexplicably appeared to
collapse lifelessly to the ground, their bodies beginning to vaporize as well.
Looks like whatever the Recon Corps (and those that had gone with them) did, had worked... Maybe a bit better than they had hoped? It wasn't long before that young woman from earlier, the one who had followed them to the Wall leaped down from it using her gear, surveying the scene before she gave A2 and Huntress a nod... Gesturing for them to follow her.
Evidently, she might have a few things to say, but it would appear that she wanted a more remote location to say whatever she needed to.
