142 Purging the Infection

Reed had reached the very bottom of the fissure, an alien world far removed from anything he had ever seen before. Not even the Infestation had created something as bizarre as what lay in front of him.

He had expected the bottom to have been metal-like in nature, given how she had described the mechanism that ran the Heavenly Barrier. For it to have been some kind of advanced machine construct of tremendous size.

W-What in the hell is... THIS?! Where have I ended up this time?!

It was alive..... the surface, that is. This was no machine entity as Reed had been told. At the very least, not the kind he had been expected. Reed was genuinely horrified. In fact, he almost couldn't even believe what he was seeing. Not because he was relying on his mind's eye, but because of the implications that it'd cause were too frightening to contemplate.
