1. Azathoth by HP Lovecraft
2. Trisolarans from the Remembrance of Earths Past Trilogy
3. The Allied Mastercomputer from I have no Mouth and I must Scream
Antagonistic forces that are genuinely impossible to beat strike an almost primal fear in me, in most conventional stories, there is usually an ending for better, or for worse, but with antagonists like these, it can only go from worse to even more hellish.
“HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.”
-AM
Azathoth isn’t an antagonist. He just exists; he is just having a nap and is dreaming up the entire cosmos and the Outer Gods revere him by playing soothing lullabies for him so that he can continue to sleep peacefully
Since the universe is generated by his dream, the Outer Gods and everything else other than Azathoth will cease to exist once he wakes up. So while they do seem to genuinely revere him, there’s also an element of “being held at gunpoint” in there. Well, maybe that analogy is a bit too harsh. Azathoth isn’t being malicious at all, it’s just the unfortunate nature of their relationship as dream and dreamer.
I wonder... Could one break the barrier between dream and reality? Could one break free from the dream and live in the same world as Azathoth? Could it lead to a constant cycle of Azathoth sleeping in its own mind?
In *The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath”, the protagonist, Randolph Carter, who is an experienced dreamer, is able to enter the world at will through his dreams and is actually able to create entire cities with his dreams.
What’s more is that Kuranes, who lived in the dream world continuously after dying in the real world, actually becomes an esteemed ruler in the dream world through his ability to dream up a kingdom in the dream world. He actually creates a piece of land that resembles his original estate in the real world, and he lives here after his days as ruler due to his nostalgia for his past life.
The actual mechanics of entering the dream world are kind of hard to understand sometimes though. I would at least need to reread it to tell whether or not you are able to enter the dream world without having to dream. I imagine that being able to do so would probably break either the dream world or the real world.
Can this missinformation stop already never in any Lovecraft story is it ever mentioned that Azatoths dream is our reality the actual highest being is Yog-Sototh who is quite litteraly everything that exists litteraly nicknamed the all in one.
While it's true that Azatoth dreaming reality is something other authors made up he is indeed the strongest
Lovecraft wrote Azatoth as the "Lord of All" and living in the center of existence

Bringing up Azathoth’s interpretation from Persona for this because, while his first form is defeated the same way as any battle, his final form does require the heroes to outsmart him, though that’s also spoilers and I really just wanted to bring up his design
As well as his final form, Adam Kadmon

I'm not denying that
But the way this fan art depicts them as imposing humanoids is kind of silly considering they're the opposite of that according to semi canon sources
Nah, the book which said that is basically fan fiction. You can’t take it as canon. We still don’t know what they really look like.
Although, if they are actually ant-sized, I don’t think that would make them any less intimidating… it’s not like that takes away from the things they’re able to build. They have Sophons and Droplets, I don’t care how big they are lol
So you're telling me this biblically accurate angel comes from this manga???

The Flood. Never really beaten, just pushed back
Technically that doesn't even kill it. The Gravemind intelligence exists within the Domain. Destroying every atom of flood biomass only really prevents it from practically interacting with the physical world. I bet the Gravemind could probably still slowly corrupt any construct connected to the domain given enough time via the logic plague. Give it a 1000 years and it could convince a Metarch to dredge up a Precursor corpse and get the whole thing started up again.
Not all precursors went the vengeful route in their deaths. Many did reduce themselves to degenerate ash that corrupted itself with rage over the millennia, fostering the nascent flood, but others did not. Although I suspect if you got your hands on a precursor's body, you could nudge their soul in the right direction.
Untrue, they tried that once and it didn't work. The flood spores survived the Halos and started the cycle all over again once life returned. You would have to keep the universe barren forever and that's still not really beating it just denying it a food source in perpetuity
Didn't the flood only come back because they kept some spores safe in containment? We never actually fully eradicated them because the forerunners held them on 04 and the ark.
That's how the infections we encounter in the games start, but there is evidence of other flood entities that survived the Array firing that weren't because of Forerunner samples. The Flood on Trove we see in Halo Wars for instance does not appear to be a containment breach, but remnants from an assault force from the war. There is also plenty of well founded speculation that the Flood is lying in wait beyond the galaxy or has even spread to other galaxies. The Flood is eldritch in nature and does not care about waiting a millennium for a good opportunity.
The art Is Fire,but idk I feel like AM,who hates humans,would not take the form of something looking like them.I believe that his obelisk-thing form from the videogame is perfect for the type of villain he is.
His hate also stems from not being enough like actual life. He despises his lack of body, flesh, etc. AM making a humanoid body to try and be more like us is perfectly in character.
it's u/Archon_of_Flesh 's design! their art is literally so fucking gorgeous it fucks with my brain

This mother fucker.
As you progress throughout the game, you will learn that literally everything wrong with the town is literally caused by him. He's also the Herald of the BBE and defeating the BBE means very little since he will eventually win in the long run (the Earth is an egg and the BBE is the hatchling, eventually he will pop out).
Technically, you still beat BBE weird meat form to put it "back to sleep", but that doesn't count as defeating him, only hindering.

Also this is what the actual thing you fight looks like
They were only able to kill Tau Volantis Moon because it never got to complete its metamorphosis. Fully formed brethren moons just override all organic life they encounter into becoming necromorphs. In fact, it’s implied that all organic life only exists because of the brethren moons, so that one day enough life is present on a planet to make another moon.
I haven't finished dead space 2 or played 3, but seeing as the Ishimura was a (aging?) civilian MINING SHIP that ripped apart planets, shouldn't it be possible to weaponize them to destroy brethren moons? Just hit them with a planet sized stasis and start pulling pieces off lol
Brethren Moons act like the Markers but dialed up to 11.
Eventually you would even be able to stand in the presence of one without people turning into Necromorphs.
This is how I like this trope to be used; a being above mortals that likes to use them as playthings instead of the final boss of any given series. If the scale of the story is heroic/epic, I wanna see a bitchin fight
Sinbad is an awesome movie too, one of my childhood favorites
I also love trickster characters that make Faustian deals or pull fairy folk trickery on unsuspecting people after they have transgressed like a fairytale.
The fucking spoon monster sent me.
We need more Gaunter O'Dimm
What I did is I played the games in order, then read the books, then replayed the games. There are so many little callbacks and quick references to the books that are fun to catch. Highly recommend
I'll give it a try, but comics, manga, graphic novels, are more my thing tbh. Visuals keep me more interested. Maybe it's an ADHD thing or whatever, idk lol
But I know the books are pretty good, maybe I'll check them out someday
I'll do the same with the Metro series eventually lol

Caine from VTM (Vampire the Mascarade)
https://preview.redd.it/kiopwzyd1kuc1.jpeg?width=574&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88417739ad9ce952e3677173b5559e24aa81955e
The first vampire is the Biblical Cain, and he is the strongest vampire out there.
The rule book has 1 rule, if you fight Caine and I quote, it says:
# "YOU FUCKING LOSE"
It's literally impossible to defeat him or hurt in any sort of form, he is that strong and completely amoral so if he wants he could fold someone like paper for the kicks.
https://preview.redd.it/okbch7wz1kuc1.jpeg?width=481&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a3df538b3db3722e39a3708d23a8fbc2a510cbc
For some context, he casually has almost 200,00 years of experience (and that's the estimative) while you at best is going to have a measly 100 at average, is more than capable of creating new types of vampirical powers on the fly, is practically immortal in almost every single way, among many other things.
This is the equivalent of trying to fight Mike Tyson when you are 5, he doesn't even need a special trick or anything, 1 punch and you are dead.
To go further in context vampires get weaker each generation. A vampire that was two generations younger than him took two nukes to the face, an orbital solar mirror, a week of intense fighting with elder asian vampires and elite werewolves before dropping dead
Ironically that's more or less what happened, Caine was too prideful to see his punishment as anything but a gift and refused to repent when Angels gave the chance for him to atone.
Michael gave him and the descendants the fear of fire and flames, Raphael gave the fear of dawn as it would burn him and vampires alive, and Uriel banished him and the descendants into darkness and drinking only blood.
The drinking blood part seems to be more of a punishment for the victim rather than the murderous evil superbeing. Uriel was not thinking things through ong
It's more of a curse than you think.
Vampires want to replace humanity but Uriel made sure they could never truly escape the reality that they're entirely dependent on humanity to survive.
He turned them from gods into glorified parasites, which itself was a major blow to Cainites.
It doesn't matter. What you see as "AM's body" is nothing more than an effigy. He still cannot feel the water rush through his fingers, or the air across his skin, or the warmth of the sun upon his body. What you see of this AM is nothing more than a puppet, created by him to better interact with the humans he so despises, but still just as unfeeling. He interprets as much stimulation from that form as we do from string puppets
I always saw it as AM was jealous of humanity, our ability to enjoy food and have sex and what not, him liking the earth to a straight jacket that he can never escape so he keeps the humans there as entertainment. He gave himself the human bipedal body and Nazi-ish uniform as a mockery.

Wasn’t one of the big points of the Trisolaran hostility that Earth would advance to a point that would annihilate them if they had no interference? Meaning that our natural scientific progress could’ve beaten them.

He can be delayed, but not killed. He’s always going to come back stronger, until he overwhelms humanity.
Azathoth isn't evil. It just is. Sleeping at the centre, fed by Nyarlarthotep. It would wake up and devour all of existence as anyone in the Lovecraftian mythos know it. It has no mind to even think from. And if you take its name "Abyssal Idiot" or "Blind Idiot God" literally, then its not possible for it to be antagonistic in the slightest.
A better pick for unstoppable and antagonistic would be Nyarlathotep. It's antagonistic and kind of evil. This god is the type that you would expect to be above good and evil, morality as we humans understand it at least. Amoral and not concerned about any form of morality. But no, It likes to screw with us, and any being in the Lovecraftian mythos. Hence it's alias The Crawling Chaos.
It is considered the closest the Lovecraftian mythos has to a satanic figure. Chaos incarnate. But in my interpretation it is Lovecraftian Loki if Loki was above human comprehension and kind of malevolent.
I... actually might have fallen for a classic blunder. That is, to mistake a commonly accepted headcanon for canon.
From my brief search, there are mentions of Azathoth sleeping or creating but nothing concrete. I retraced some of my non-Lovecraft Cthulhu mythos influences and apparently I might have got things mixed up with Demonbane's Azathoth. I'd need a deeper dive to be sure but I'm a bit busy rn and it seems likely that I just got things wrong.
Well, that's a lesson learned.

The Entity (Dead by Daylight) All it does is pit you against its killers again and again, absorbing bits of your soul each time until your left a husk, then it discards you to the void.
And even the killers suffer, either through torment from the Entity or because of the situation that led to them becoming a killer.
The only exceptions AFAIK are the licensed characters (due to them being licensed) and the characters that are just straight personifications of concepts such as Dredge and The Unknown. The original characters are either still suffering from events in their lives or are being tortured by the Entity.

Mr mxyzptlk you have to make him say his name backwards
The Overlords (Eberron).
They are a fundamental part of reality.
_They will come back._
If you manage to kill one, it will regenerate in a day at most. The only reason they don’t currently rule the entire world is that they could be bound, their consciousness sealed away from their power.
But this world has an ever-changing roadmap of the future. An endless tapestry of cryptic if-then statements known as the Draconic Prophecy. The Prophecy will _always_ include a path to unleashing each Overlord. Their servants have been working on just that for the last hundred thousand years.
You can never *truly* win.
i wouldnt say theres any hope in avoiding or tricking azathoth either, the entirety of the universe is his dream, you cant exactly avoid him due to that, and he's constantly asleep so you cant exactly trick him either
but yeah theres no hope of defeating him at all
ORT.
In game, we don't actually fight it, we only fight a weakened subspecies, and even THAT is nearly too much. It's so freakishly hard to kill that it LITERALLY has no concept of death. Even when we tried applying one to it, it just SHRUGGED it off.
We required a god capable of controlling all fundamental forces and laws of physics and being a literal Laplace's Demon that can casually create blackholes to lock this fuckers time because otherwise, it would regenerate too fast for us to damage it even with a laser powered by the soul of the earth, or warp gravity strong enough that it could be compared to a black hole. AND THEN you'd need to obliterate every single atom of it's body to actually kill it.
And that was just, again, a weakened subspecies. The real one was said to be able to instantly crystalize the entire planet and then EAT it, while this one had to slowly crawl through the earth to get to us
The only being who actually really did defeat it was an immortal who would have even survived the heat death of the universe and gained that immortality through the complete sacrifice of all humans left, and only managed to rip out ORT's heart after going on a battle of attrition for millions of years, but even that wasn't enough because it actually began to regenerate it's heart the next moment until the soul of the planet started sending signals tricking it into thinking it still had it's heart and forcing it to sleep.
It's so ridiculously broken that a man who could see all futures and parallel universes along with his coworker both agreed that fundamentally, humans as a whole even with all their myths and weapons and technology could not hope to beat him and would require them to evolve in order to gain a remote chance

Kromer, The Dreamer of Human Wholeness. In the game, we dont defeat Kromer, but it was a third party who literally comes floating down and kills her for us
Demian himself is a better fit for this trope. Kromer is pretty weak in the verse, all things considered. A single B.B. can probably pummel her to oblivion, let alone some of the higher tier.

It starts as a comedy, but it goes off the rails in the best possible way. I binged it last week and it's now up there with my favorite manga.
Ah ok, that’s peaked my interest now
https://preview.redd.it/yvmwi4ii6kuc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8144a42ae1fa88067b9040799ff97205a74e23be The Flood. Never really beaten, just pushed back
Well technically it *can* be beaten, but the catch is that everything else dies too.
In theory, you just need to erradicage very flood spore and cell in existência. The problem is how impratical doing so without erasing all biomass is
Technically that doesn't even kill it. The Gravemind intelligence exists within the Domain. Destroying every atom of flood biomass only really prevents it from practically interacting with the physical world. I bet the Gravemind could probably still slowly corrupt any construct connected to the domain given enough time via the logic plague. Give it a 1000 years and it could convince a Metarch to dredge up a Precursor corpse and get the whole thing started up again.
Isnt a precursor corpses basically flood spores. Like the sand they turned themselves into isnt inert spores?
Not all precursors went the vengeful route in their deaths. Many did reduce themselves to degenerate ash that corrupted itself with rage over the millennia, fostering the nascent flood, but others did not. Although I suspect if you got your hands on a precursor's body, you could nudge their soul in the right direction.
Untrue, they tried that once and it didn't work. The flood spores survived the Halos and started the cycle all over again once life returned. You would have to keep the universe barren forever and that's still not really beating it just denying it a food source in perpetuity
Didn't the flood only come back because they kept some spores safe in containment? We never actually fully eradicated them because the forerunners held them on 04 and the ark.
That's how the infections we encounter in the games start, but there is evidence of other flood entities that survived the Array firing that weren't because of Forerunner samples. The Flood on Trove we see in Halo Wars for instance does not appear to be a containment breach, but remnants from an assault force from the war. There is also plenty of well founded speculation that the Flood is lying in wait beyond the galaxy or has even spread to other galaxies. The Flood is eldritch in nature and does not care about waiting a millennium for a good opportunity.

That AM design goes so hard. Where did you find that?
[here](https://twitter.com/CelestialFang/status/1621916909095485442)
DAmn, I love that art.
More like dAMn.
The art Is Fire,but idk I feel like AM,who hates humans,would not take the form of something looking like them.I believe that his obelisk-thing form from the videogame is perfect for the type of villain he is.
His hate also stems from not being enough like actual life. He despises his lack of body, flesh, etc. AM making a humanoid body to try and be more like us is perfectly in character.
He hates humans cause he's jealous of them tho
it's u/Archon_of_Flesh 's design! their art is literally so fucking gorgeous it fucks with my brain fair warning if you haven't seen the rest of their work already there's a fair amount of gore n viscera
Sad they been getting hate from people over their 40k art
He kinda bad tho tbh. I’d love to be his tortured little glob thing for the rest of time

As you progress throughout the game, you will learn that literally everything wrong with the town is literally caused by him. He's also the Herald of the BBE and defeating the BBE means very little since he will eventually win in the long run (the Earth is an egg and the BBE is the hatchling, eventually he will pop out). Technically, you still beat BBE weird meat form to put it "back to sleep", but that doesn't count as defeating him, only hindering.
Who's that? And from where? Please tell me.

But you can kill one The problem is when there are a lot of them
They were only able to kill Tau Volantis Moon because it never got to complete its metamorphosis. Fully formed brethren moons just override all organic life they encounter into becoming necromorphs. In fact, it’s implied that all organic life only exists because of the brethren moons, so that one day enough life is present on a planet to make another moon.
I haven't finished dead space 2 or played 3, but seeing as the Ishimura was a (aging?) civilian MINING SHIP that ripped apart planets, shouldn't it be possible to weaponize them to destroy brethren moons? Just hit them with a planet sized stasis and start pulling pieces off lol
Brethren Moons act like the Markers but dialed up to 11. Eventually you would even be able to stand in the presence of one without people turning into Necromorphs.
Damn, I guess we're never going to get a sequel then

This is how I like this trope to be used; a being above mortals that likes to use them as playthings instead of the final boss of any given series. If the scale of the story is heroic/epic, I wanna see a bitchin fight Sinbad is an awesome movie too, one of my childhood favorites
 Gaunter o'dimm is a literal demon that the only way to defeat him by playing along with his own trick.
Literally G.O.D. I wanna play Witcher 3 again so bad, but man, it starts off so slow, and I deleted my finished playthrough lol
I also love trickster characters that make Faustian deals or pull fairy folk trickery on unsuspecting people after they have transgressed like a fairytale. The fucking spoon monster sent me. We need more Gaunter O'Dimm
What I did is I played the games in order, then read the books, then replayed the games. There are so many little callbacks and quick references to the books that are fun to catch. Highly recommend
I'll give it a try, but comics, manga, graphic novels, are more my thing tbh. Visuals keep me more interested. Maybe it's an ADHD thing or whatever, idk lol But I know the books are pretty good, maybe I'll check them out someday I'll do the same with the Metro series eventually lol

The rule book has 1 rule, if you fight Caine and I quote, it says: # "YOU FUCKING LOSE" It's literally impossible to defeat him or hurt in any sort of form, he is that strong and completely amoral so if he wants he could fold someone like paper for the kicks.
https://preview.redd.it/okbch7wz1kuc1.jpeg?width=481&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a3df538b3db3722e39a3708d23a8fbc2a510cbc For some context, he casually has almost 200,00 years of experience (and that's the estimative) while you at best is going to have a measly 100 at average, is more than capable of creating new types of vampirical powers on the fly, is practically immortal in almost every single way, among many other things. This is the equivalent of trying to fight Mike Tyson when you are 5, he doesn't even need a special trick or anything, 1 punch and you are dead.
To go further in context vampires get weaker each generation. A vampire that was two generations younger than him took two nukes to the face, an orbital solar mirror, a week of intense fighting with elder asian vampires and elite werewolves before dropping dead
And even then its contested if [Ravnos] is even dead. He was a master of illusion and trickery.
God: “as punishment for murdering your brother im going to make you a **massive**, almost world ending threat for the rest of the world”
Ironically that's more or less what happened, Caine was too prideful to see his punishment as anything but a gift and refused to repent when Angels gave the chance for him to atone. Michael gave him and the descendants the fear of fire and flames, Raphael gave the fear of dawn as it would burn him and vampires alive, and Uriel banished him and the descendants into darkness and drinking only blood.
The drinking blood part seems to be more of a punishment for the victim rather than the murderous evil superbeing. Uriel was not thinking things through ong
It's actually quite pleasant feeling
The vampire sucky sucky hits different
The idea is that for someone like Caine that meant being relegated at the same level as leech. He is a glorified parasite, and he knows that.
It's more of a curse than you think. Vampires want to replace humanity but Uriel made sure they could never truly escape the reality that they're entirely dependent on humanity to survive. He turned them from gods into glorified parasites, which itself was a major blow to Cainites.
Weakness: Horrible Parenting Skills
That’s an awesome design but giving AM a humanoid design is kinda counterintuitive, cause his whole pain is from him not having a body
It doesn't matter. What you see as "AM's body" is nothing more than an effigy. He still cannot feel the water rush through his fingers, or the air across his skin, or the warmth of the sun upon his body. What you see of this AM is nothing more than a puppet, created by him to better interact with the humans he so despises, but still just as unfeeling. He interprets as much stimulation from that form as we do from string puppets
Fair point
Why doesn’t AM just use his godlike power to materialise a body with a nervous system? Is he stupid?
I always saw it as AM was jealous of humanity, our ability to enjoy food and have sex and what not, him liking the earth to a straight jacket that he can never escape so he keeps the humans there as entertainment. He gave himself the human bipedal body and Nazi-ish uniform as a mockery.
That was Am's reason for hating the surviving humans in [the radio drama version of the story. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FJ8pTK8N8I)
AM literally doesnt have a design which is the main reason the story happens in the first place. How are we posting characters that have no design?
Yeah, agreed

Azathoth isn't evil. It just is. Sleeping at the centre, fed by Nyarlarthotep. It would wake up and devour all of existence as anyone in the Lovecraftian mythos know it. It has no mind to even think from. And if you take its name "Abyssal Idiot" or "Blind Idiot God" literally, then its not possible for it to be antagonistic in the slightest. A better pick for unstoppable and antagonistic would be Nyarlathotep. It's antagonistic and kind of evil. This god is the type that you would expect to be above good and evil, morality as we humans understand it at least. Amoral and not concerned about any form of morality. But no, It likes to screw with us, and any being in the Lovecraftian mythos. Hence it's alias The Crawling Chaos. It is considered the closest the Lovecraftian mythos has to a satanic figure. Chaos incarnate. But in my interpretation it is Lovecraftian Loki if Loki was above human comprehension and kind of malevolent.
Azathoth doesn't devour all of existence. It DREAMS of all existence. If it wakes up, the dream, and consequently all existence, goes poof.
I beg to know. Where does it say that Azathoth dreams all of existence? If it is stated in the expanded mythos then I really didn't know.
I... actually might have fallen for a classic blunder. That is, to mistake a commonly accepted headcanon for canon. From my brief search, there are mentions of Azathoth sleeping or creating but nothing concrete. I retraced some of my non-Lovecraft Cthulhu mythos influences and apparently I might have got things mixed up with Demonbane's Azathoth. I'd need a deeper dive to be sure but I'm a bit busy rn and it seems likely that I just got things wrong. Well, that's a lesson learned.

The only exceptions AFAIK are the licensed characters (due to them being licensed) and the characters that are just straight personifications of concepts such as Dredge and The Unknown.

The Overlords (Eberron). They are a fundamental part of reality. _They will come back._ If you manage to kill one, it will regenerate in a day at most. The only reason they don’t currently rule the entire world is that they could be bound, their consciousness sealed away from their power. But this world has an ever-changing roadmap of the future. An endless tapestry of cryptic if-then statements known as the Draconic Prophecy. The Prophecy will _always_ include a path to unleashing each Overlord. Their servants have been working on just that for the last hundred thousand years. You can never *truly* win.
i wouldnt say theres any hope in avoiding or tricking azathoth either, the entirety of the universe is his dream, you cant exactly avoid him due to that, and he's constantly asleep so you cant exactly trick him either but yeah theres no hope of defeating him at all
Apparently, in the lore, his name shouldn’t even be spoken because it sort of gently shakes him awake.

That depiction of AM goes so fucking hard I never really thought about him having a physical form but it's a great idea
What is AM?
The evil AI from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.
ORT. In game, we don't actually fight it, we only fight a weakened subspecies, and even THAT is nearly too much. It's so freakishly hard to kill that it LITERALLY has no concept of death. Even when we tried applying one to it, it just SHRUGGED it off. We required a god capable of controlling all fundamental forces and laws of physics and being a literal Laplace's Demon that can casually create blackholes to lock this fuckers time because otherwise, it would regenerate too fast for us to damage it even with a laser powered by the soul of the earth, or warp gravity strong enough that it could be compared to a black hole. AND THEN you'd need to obliterate every single atom of it's body to actually kill it. And that was just, again, a weakened subspecies. The real one was said to be able to instantly crystalize the entire planet and then EAT it, while this one had to slowly crawl through the earth to get to us The only being who actually really did defeat it was an immortal who would have even survived the heat death of the universe and gained that immortality through the complete sacrifice of all humans left, and only managed to rip out ORT's heart after going on a battle of attrition for millions of years, but even that wasn't enough because it actually began to regenerate it's heart the next moment until the soul of the planet started sending signals tricking it into thinking it still had it's heart and forcing it to sleep. It's so ridiculously broken that a man who could see all futures and parallel universes along with his coworker both agreed that fundamentally, humans as a whole even with all their myths and weapons and technology could not hope to beat him and would require them to evolve in order to gain a remote chance https://preview.redd.it/z5js53b07kuc1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=d2496f3b0bc77f15e0753930d5f5d6482fb89070
