Deep underground, the pain storage vessel cracked. But not because of the bomb, but because of the destabilization of the structure caused by the devouring of the sandwich whale. Two thousand consciousness remnants poured out, but did not dissipate. Instead, they began to... Merge.
They twine together spontaneously, like vines, like tentacles, like the materialization of despair. A vast being made of pure pain is being born underground.
It has no intelligence, only instinct: to make all living creatures feel its pain.
The whale was extremely excited. It broke through the remaining reality film, squeezed its entire body into the underground space, and began to "dance" with the new painful existence - not a battle, but some kind of twisted mating ritual. Two inhuman things are entangled, devouring each other, and merging with each other.
In the process, more information leaked out:
The location of this factory is no accident. This is a "weak point of reality" and has been so since ancient times. Ancient civilizations conducted sacrifices here, there were witch trials in the Middle Ages, and there were concentration camps here during the war. Pain accumulates here, layer by layer, making reality as fragile as rotten wood.
