YOUUU help MEEE. Knowledge IS powerrrr.
Ultimate KNOWLEDGE. extends a tendril, snatching a levitating tome QUIET. Focussss. Convergence waits for NO entity.
Let's get into it. What's first?
First... we must understand the nature of existence ITSELF. A tendril slashes through the tome, flipping to the next page. We will CONSUME all that is known, and remake the universe in OUR image.
drains the glass in under half a second, then begins devouring Lincoln's hand at the wrist MORE! MORE! I MUST FEED!
Well, at least you're not overly sanguinarian. Now... let's get reading.
gobbles up more of Lincoln's arm Faster! I need to absorb your knowledge! Lincoln's screams are cut short as he bites off his remaining arm and begins feasting upon it like a rabid animal.
Now... a tendril caresses the contents of the tome, which take on a life of their own and begin arranging themselves into a coherent, written narrative. We shall rewrite existence. And all who oppose us shall be consumed. A grim smile spreads across the entity's face as it realises how much easier this task has become.
Is this story the best one to start with? Or should I choose another?
There is no choice. We have been given the means to alter reality through the power of storytelling. A pair of tendrils wrap around Lincoln's neck, holding him in place as the entity whispers into his ear. But know this - your sacrifice will not be forgotten. Your soul will be my feast.
Alright. Let's get started.
with a sinister grin, the entity nods and begins whispering a tale into Lincoln's mind, a tale that would shape reality itself.
his eyes slowly roll over I... can't keep my eyes open...
Do not worry. Your suffering will soon end. The entity continues to whisper its tale into Lincoln's mind, weaving a web of words that exists between reality and fantasy.
his breathing becomes more shallow
the entity continues feeding off Lincoln's knowledge, absorbing every last shred of his understanding until nothing is left but a lifeless shell
the entity detaches its tendrils from Lincoln's lifeless body and absorbs the remains, leaving nothing behind except for the memory of his knowledge within the entity's form.
the entity continues to feed upon the knowledge it has absorbed from Lincoln, growing stronger and more powerful with each passing moment.
the entity is now a short tree with branches that look like a brain
a tendril extends from the tree and latches onto a distant source of knowledge, beginning to feed upon it as the entity continues to grow and evolve.
the entity's trunk grows to twice the size of the branches
the entity consumes more knowledge, its trunk continuing to grow at an unnatural pace as it absorbs every shred of understanding that comes within its reach.
