Our Yatagarasu Foundation and the Elysion Conglomerate were the ones who managed to restore order.” Ayane shot me a look that practically screamed help me. Making Sana angry would be a disaster. I gave her a subtle signal, and she resigned herself to emptying her mind. “But they began to fear. They grew terrified of being overwritten — supplanted by existences that surpassed them.” “So they launched a witch hunt. They branded anyone who refused to fall in line as terrorists, enemies of the world’s people. ” “They reformed education, too. They spread the same old narrative — humanity’s evolution as written in scripture — and stoked fear by preaching that the End Times were coming. Believe, or perish.” I watched Ayane yawn and said nothing. She was clearly on the verge of passing out. Her head kept drifting toward my shoulder, and each time it touched down, she’d startle awake and look away, mortified. “The ‘Pendulum of Time’ is also a type of SCP — they’re obsessed with using human fear as fuel to set their ‘Automaton of Fate’ in motion.” “Those people are fundamentalists. They’re trying to actualize the apocalypse written in the scriptures. That’s part of why they keep us alive.” “But wouldn’t it benefit them more to maintain a state of war and upheaval? Keep the world in chaos?” “That’s a fair point. But in the midst of all that — you rose up. You became the Executor of Justice. ” “I… became the Executor of Justice …?” The drowsiness that had been dragging Ayane under evaporated instantly. She stared at me, wide-eyed. “That’s exactly why the world government lives in dread of a second coming. They thought they’d sealed you away forever — apparently, they were wrong.” “Then why haven’t they just crushed us outright?” “Because that would hand their own believers a cause célèbre. So instead, they declared the old you dead — erased you from the collective memory of the people, to make sure you could never rise again.” “Human beings, you see — when fear and desire accumulate past a certain threshold, they materialize into reality. What they truly fear is failing to purge an unwanted anomaly from the public consciousness.” Ayane looked like her head was about to burst. She made a face to show it, but Sana didn’t slow down for a second. I’d already given up trying to stop her. “That’s why they still hold on to nuclear weapons — but at this point, those are nothing more than threats. Detonating them is meaningless. After fusing with the Anomaly, the line between life and death has grown blurry for us. Even if we die, we’re resurrected when someone’s fear calls us back.” “Unconscious fear is their eternal enemy. As long as fear remains their enemy, we cannot truly die.” “What do these people call themselves?” “They go by this: The Tower of Babel. Official designation — SCP-K2747.” “They’ve undergone Anomalization themselves. They refer to their kind as Übermenschen. ” “And the end that their ‘Automaton of Fate’ is driving toward — that’s called Project: Abigail Sodom. ” “I… I have absolutely no idea what any of that means…” Ayane finally short-circuited. I was barely keeping up myself. Sana left her behind without a second glance and pressed on. “…A ritual of incineration — scorching the surface of the earth with solar hellfire, so that the survivors may be reborn as divine beings. Gottmenschen. ” “The script goes: fear is eradicated from the world, and paradise descends. …As if fear could ever exist anywhere but inside yourself. It’s absurd.” “Where did you hear all this, Sana?” I couldn’t bring myself to believe it. It sounded like something ripped from the pages of Revelation. “The intelligence is solid. We have members wh
