Core creature? That creature that looked like a Brain Spirit?
In the new world, Lin looked at her surroundings …
The creator's fear had formed a new world. This world didn't look too different from the previous one. It still had the same dark sky and the ground was like a swamp.
However, there were no more plants on the swamp. Instead, there was a strange creature.
This creature … It was hard to tell what it was. It looked like a lump of meat with deformed limbs. These pieces of meat were slowly moving on the swamp.
These things … were also the things that the creator was afraid of?
Although they looked scary from The Fool's point of view, the creator shouldn't have been afraid of them.
The pompom flew through the air. The ground was filled with these things. They moved on the ground and used their deformed limbs to attack each other. However, the damage was limited and they couldn't hurt each other.
Looking at these things that were fighting back and forth, Lin slowly understood.
So that's how it was. The creator wasn't afraid of their appearance, but their 'abnormality'.
The creator should have liked a perfect environment with countless different and colorful creatures. However, these pieces of meat here seemed to be the product of failed evolution. It felt like all the normal creatures had disappeared. The deformed ones had survived and slowly evolved into this form.
So this was what the creator was afraid of. This world was filled with creatures that shouldn't exist in the creator's perfect world …
However, this place wasn't dangerous. Because these creatures were all slow. They didn't have much attack power. It wasn't like the world of the Voids, which was filled with dangerous creatures.
Because a large part of the Voids' fear was the fear of death, this place was filled with creatures that wanted to kill them.
But the creator wasn't. Although Lin wasn't sure if the creator was afraid of death, it had only sent a tentacle into this world. So, this world could only make the creator feel fear through methods other than death.
But where did the creator go?
Also. Where was the core creature?
The pompom slowly flew through the air, continuing to send out sounds that the creator could hear. It flew towards the central area.
Lin could now see a huge building in the central area. This building looked like a tall tower. Even in this dark night, she could clearly see deformed pieces of meat crawling on top of it.
The pieces of meat on the tower were much larger than other places. Each piece was about eight meters long. The ones on the ground were only one to two meters long. So, there might be something special about this place.
The pompom sped up and quickly approached the tower.
When it arrived near the tower. Lin saw a glowing thing at the top of the tower. Could it be … the core creature was here?
The pompom quickly flew over. When the glowing thing saw the pompom approaching, it immediately turned around and flew in another direction.
The pompom chased after the ball of light at an even faster speed. When it realized that the pompom was slowly closing in on it, it immediately turned and flew down into the muddy water of the swamp.
Although it looked like a ball of light, it splashed water when it flew into the swamp. The pompom flew above the swamp where the glowing ball had entered. There were also many deformed pieces of meat crawling around, trying to get into the water. Some of them were even bumping into each other, as if doing something meaningless.
This was probably one of the scares of the creator. These things didn't work hard to survive and only did meaningless things.
But, what was the core creature doing here? Did it want to do something to the creator? Or …
"Gulp."
Suddenly, a large number of bubbles emerged from the swamp below, and Lin saw something emerge from the swamp.
What … was this? Was it the glowing ball from before?
It wasn't glowing. It was shaped like a meter-sized, soft object. Because it was covered in mud, it was impossible to tell what it was.
But it didn't seem to be able to fly. It could only float on the surface of the swamp.
"You found the core creature, the pompom!" Just as Lin wanted to approach it to check, a voice suddenly came from behind. The creator's tentacle was crawling over from behind.
"This is … the core creature?" the pompom asked doubtfully.
"Indeed, it had recently snuck into this world that I fear" The creator's emotions were unstable as it spoke. Lin noticed that it was indeed repulsed by the pieces of meat around it.
But it tried its best not to show it and continued to maintain its calm emotions: "And now, it will feel fear!"
As soon as it said that, the creator leapt towards the core creature in the swamp.
It wrapped around the core creature's body. The core creature began to deform under the creator's pressure. This feeling was exactly the same as when Lin first met the core creature. When she first met them, the creator had also twisted them and deformed them.
But at the time, she couldn't see what was inside the ball of light. So this was what they looked like?
It felt like a soft object. This gave Lin a thought. Perhaps the core creature wasn't a creature of energy like the Brain Spirits, but a creature with a physical body.
And their physical body was somewhere in the void …
Slap! Suddenly, the soft core creature exploded under the pressure of its creator, and what seemed to be a transparent liquid sputtered out.
"I've dealt with it, pompom" the creator told her: "You can continue to search for other core creatures"
The pompom doubtfully asked: "Are there many more here?"
"Yes, there are many of them" The creator replied: "Recently, they've been constantly entering this place. I've seen a lot of them, but there are far more than …"
The creator's words abruptly stopped as its tentacles stared closely behind the pompom.
Lin also noticed … a large number of balls of light had suddenly appeared behind the pompom, their light illuminating this place …
Lin noticed that there were a total of 19 of them, all of which seemed to be core creatures and not Brain Spirits.
"I know you will come back. You will come back to find it."
Suddenly, one of the core creatures flew in front of the pompom and spoke …
"And so, we've been waiting for you here"
"Waiting?" the pompom was a bit confused.
"Don't talk to them, pompom, just kill them all!" The creator abruptly jumped up from below and attacked one of the core creatures. The core creature instantly dodged the creator's attack, causing it to fall to the ground.
"You will always feel fear here" The core creature looked at the creator and spoke: "You cannot escape from this place, you will always be a prisoner"
"Fear is not eternal." Another core creature spoke to the creator: "There are too few things you fear, and you will soon no longer fear them, but we can ensure that fear becomes eternal here"
"However, if you come to help it, this prisoner might have a chance to escape" Saying so, the core creature looked at the pompom and spoke: "We've always been trying to unravel your secrets, we want to know what kind of creature you are, and why … you are exactly the same as this place"
"We've never been sure" Another core creature spoke: "But we know that you are exactly the same as this place … completely the same"
"What do you mean?"
Boom!
As soon as the pompom asked that question, an intense explosion erupted among the core creatures. They were blown apart, some of them falling to the ground.
The creator quickly crawled over and wrapped around one of the core creatures before they could fly away.
"You think I can't escape my fear?" The creator wrapped itself tighter and tighter around it. Just like the previous one, this core creature exploded with a 'pop'.
Then, the creator rushed towards the next core creature.
Lin noticed that these core creatures seemed to know something about her, but the creator kept interrupting her communication with them.
Although Lin didn't have much to do with it, but …
Boom! Another intense explosion erupted in front of Lin's eyes. The creator's brainwave attack seemed to be very effective here. The core creatures finally managed to gather together, but they were blown away by the creator again. Then, the creator immediately dealt with the core creatures that fell to the ground.
The core creatures didn't seem to care about the creator. Every time they were blown away, they would gather again and fly towards the pompom. They seemed to want to do something to the pompom.
"We already know what you are!" Suddenly, one of the core creatures let out a sharp cry and pounced, but the pompom easily dodged its attack. At the same time, the pompom extended its fur and pierced the soft object inside the ball of light.
They didn't seem to want to communicate and instead wanted to attack the pompom directly. A few more core creatures pounced, but the pompom easily dealt with them again.
Then, the creator and the pompom killed all the core creatures in the battle … or at least, that was what it seemed to be.
"Well done, pompom." Looking at the remains of the core creatures, the creator said: "After we won, we went to find the exit"
"But …" the pompom asked: "What are they doing here?"
"They might have a way to keep me here" The creator said: "This should be their original goal, but after you appeared, their goal changed"
"Before you appeared, they had been avoiding me, but after you appeared, they gathered together like fools and attacked you"
