Me (thoughts): Hm... Liran shouldn't be too far from here. I'll check if he's finished with that researcher.
I began walking in the direction that would lead me to the room where Liran and the researcher were located.
After a few minutes of walking, I finally reached the door that led to the room. To my surprise, there was someone standing near the door, and it was Liran.
Liran noticed my presence and greeted me.
Liran: Hey... How was it?
Myself: It was... quite an unusual experience. What about you?
Liran: Same here. It's been an intriguing encounter. Now, let's continue exploring this place.
Myself: Alright.
We proceeded to stroll through the hallways, encountering researchers, deities, and various other entities. I couldn't help but notice that some of these beings were whispering among themselves about us. It seemed like we had become somewhat of a popular duo within this facility, which was quite an extraordinary sensation.
As we continued walking, we eventually stumbled upon a massive door that led to a chamber.
Myself: ?... What could that be?
Liran: Let's approach it and find out.
We continued our approach towards the door, but just before reaching it, a voice called out to us.
???: Don't go in!
Myself: ?...
We halted in our tracks, and as I turned around, I laid eyes upon a colossal god-like figure, standing at an impressive height of 16 feet. It appeared that this imposing being was also a researcher.
Myself: What lies beyond that door?
Researcher: Beyond that door resides a formidable entity, one that should not be trifled with. I implore you, do not enter the chamber!
Liran: Can you provide more information about this entity?
Researcher: The entity is a servant hailing from the palace of the Black King. Encountering it would be perilous... it could result in your demise.
Liran: I see... Has it claimed the lives of others?
Researcher: Yes, it has. It is an immensely powerful being that Epsilon managed to capture.
Myself: Epsilon, you say? The same Epsilon who is renowned as one of the most formidable entities within the foundation?
Researcher: Precisely. Epsilon possesses unparalleled strength, enabling 'him' to capture and contain such mighty entities with ease...
LIRAN'S POV:
So, Epsilon is indeed a formidable being, capable of reaching the palace of the Black King and capturing and containing the Black King's servants. Epsilon's strength is truly remarkable.
Myself: Allow me to enter... I believe I can confront and handle that entity.
Researcher: What?! Are you willing to sacrifice your life?
Myself: I am serious. Please let me in.
After a brief moment, the researcher responded.
Researcher: If that is truly your desire...
Follow me.
The researcher approached the door and opened it.
Researcher: Come, follow me.
As I peered beyond the door, I discovered a hallway stretching before me. At the end of the hallway, there was another door leading to a room. Additionally, on the left side of the hallway, there was a glass panel offering a glimpse into the contents of the room.
The researcher proceeded into the hallway, waiting for me to follow suit.
After a short pause, I joined the researcher in the hallway, following closely behind.
Researcher: You are about to confront an entity of immense power. Its mere presence has the potential to erase you from reality...
As you can observe through the window, there is a smaller room within the expansive chamber we are about to enter. The entire chamber is safeguarded by the powers of the gods.
After a few seconds, we arrived at the door that led to the massive room. The researcher opened the door, allowing me to pass through.
Researcher: Are you truly certain about this?
Myself: Let me proceed.
Researcher: Very well, you may enter... I will be observing from here.
I stepped into the vast room, and as I entered, the researcher closed the door behind me.
My attention was immediately drawn to the smaller room within the chamber. It possessed a door that could be easily opened.
Approaching the door, I turned the handle and was suddenly faced with an entity devoid of color. It launched itself at me, attempting to intimidate or attack, but to no avail. I remained entirely unfazed.
This entity lacked a tangible form, appearing purely abstract. However, I could still perceive its presence.
Without hesitation, I delivered a powerful punch to the entity, sending it tumbling back into its own chamber.
Entity: ?!?!...
Researcher: ?!...
Myself: Hey... if you intend to attack me, you'll need to put up a better fight than that.
The entity fixated its attention on me.
Entity: Do not be foolish. I will erase you from reality.
It attempted to unleash its formidable powers upon me, only to find them rendered useless.
The entity appeared profoundly shocked and surprised.
Entity: ?!... How is this possible?
Undeterred, I entered the room, closing the distance between myself and the entity.
Myself: I have heard that you have attempted to claim the lives of others within this space, is that true?
The entity: It is none of your concern-?!...
THE ENTITY LOST THE PSYCHOLOGICAL BATTLE.
Myself: I will ensure that you are permanently removed from this place...
Raising my hand, I balled it into a fist and struck the entity with a powerful punch. Though I could have sworn that I heard it scream, it mattered little.
Upon striking the entity, a brilliant flash of light illuminated the room. And when the radiance dissipated, the entity had vanished completely.
It was as if the entity ceased to exist, no longer present in any form or space.
A few moments later, the researcher opened the door behind me, and I turned to face them, stepping out of the smaller room I had been in. I observed the researcher's expression, a mixture of surprise and astonishment.
Researcher: Oh my, this is unprecedented! I have never witnessed anything like this before. It's absolutely incredible!
I must inform the others of this remarkable occurrence. It's truly amazing!
How did you manage to achieve this?
Myself: I possess my own secrets, but they are not relevant at this moment. What matters is that I have dealt with the entity successfully, and that is what counts.
Researcher: I see... I am immensely impressed. It's truly astonishing to witness a human like yourself defeat such a powerful entity.
Now, please follow me. Let us exit this chamber.
Myself: Alright.
The researcher initiated their stride towards the chamber's exit, and after a few moments, I began following suit, walking behind them.
After a few minutes, we found ourselves outside the chamber. I noticed Derek engaged in conversation with one of the researchers. As our eyes met, he immediately recognized me.
Derek: Hey there... you managed to defeat that entity?
Myself: Of course I did. It was quite an experience, haha.
How about we go somewhere? Maybe the cafeteria?
Derek: Sounds good to me.
We began walking in the direction that led to the cafeteria, ready to unwind and discuss our recent encounters.
EPSILON'S POV:
I was seated on my throne, engaged in conversation with the other council members. Suddenly, a researcher entered the room, clearly excited.
Researcher: Sir! Liran has successfully defeated one of the captured beings! It's truly remarkable!
Myself: I am already aware of this accomplishment. You are not the only one who has brought me this information.
Researcher: I see. What shall we do with Liran now?
Myself: We shall conduct tests and experiments on both Liran and his friend. There is much to learn from them, and it would be beneficial for our understanding.
Researcher: Yes, sir!
The researcher then left the room, carrying out their assigned tasks.
Myself: Liran... what an intriguing individual he is.
