ADVENT BEAST - 1/1 - LOVE

*Proofreader of the chapter : Dracolot*

It's a wonderful day in Salem...Kids are running around playing with each other. The streets are buzzing with people shopping and greeting each other. It's breezy with some clouds just enough to shelter the town from the cruel sun. The birds are singing. The flowers are blooming. On a nice day like...this…

Disaster struck.

[Music - click play for more immersion]

Watch in horror! As the people start to melt in a pile of pink gelatinous goop with only some bone left! Citizens start to cry havoc and run amok into every direction they could see as an escape route. But some of them are already possess. A mother drown in despair as her child in her hand turn into an abomination in front of her very eyes. Then it starts to devour her.

Everything was quickly engulfed in a pink mess.

Now the flood of slime starts heading north towards an abandoned mansion.

All of the manholes burst out a wave of the amalgamation of various monsters and pink slime.

One of them however, shoots out Yersin at high speed. Sending him rolling on a roof of some building.

A massive concentration of viscous slime push onto the world. Melting Love in her purest form, has emerged from the ground and reveal herself to the world.

"Beg for help! Raise your lovely voice! It's time to drown in a sea of my love! That is your only salvation." Melting Love announce.

"God damn it. She regenerated her mass faster than my plague could kill it." Yersin grumble.

"It's almost time for my plan to come into fruition! After taking hold of that mansion, I shall become--... What the…?" Melting Love stutter as she sense her minions got burned to death while trying to reach the mansion.

She turned her head to look at the mansion.

She saw the army of trees spitting out fireballs, Armada of automata firing laser beams, Swarm of blue butterflies made out of flame and a familiar robot firing lasers and grinding her minions like a whirlwind.

"YOU FOOL! GERM\*N SCIENCE IS ZE BEST IN DA WORLD!!" Mazriel screams in the middle of the massacre.

"T...those annoying bastard--"

Melting Love didn't get to finish his sentence. Yersin's envenomed blade almost piercing her skin if it weren't for bones she gathers to defend it like a shield.

"I think you will find our will equal to yours!" Yersin proclaims. Even with several wounds all over him.

"Just drop dead already!" Melting Love grows out a gigantic arm to try to slap Yersin as if he's a mosquito.

Yersin jump toward it instead and start doing some fancy attack on titan footwork.

It's now a full-blown war, Yersin vs. Melting Love, Resistance army vs The slime horde.

However, the odds are not in the resistance favor. It becomes clear very quickly that the number of slime are just too much.

"This is bad...HEY TREE MAN! CAN YOU KILL A MAN FOR ME IF I DIE HERE?!" Mazriel asks Yateveo.

"Oh the man you mentioned in your...WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!" Yateveo cries. As he sees Mazriel quickly breaks enemy line in the center of the slime flood.

"Ending my own suffering. Say goodbye to Snake for me will you?" Mazriel says farewell.

"O’ good human who bestows all of his power, sanctity, and wisdom to me.

See clearly my heart, my thoughts, and my skill.

Now, Dad...Mom...

Behold my deeds, my death, my legend which I must carry out." Mazriel chanted before letting out the name of his last action.

[Chernobyl - Melt my Core, Scorch the Earth]

Mazriel starts glowing a brilliant greenlight from every part of his being. Then explodes, taking out a sizable chunk of the enemy with him, and leave behind a big mushroom cloud. Slime surrounding the vicinity starts to glow with a bright green glare. Before long they collapse...drop dead.

Yateveo : MAZRIEL------!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to his sacrifice however, it's now looking like an even fight.

Some of Waiter's butterflies are flying toward Melting Love and messing with her eyes.

"Damn you! Damn you! Damn you!" Melting Love bellows while swinging her arms wildly trying to snuff out the fire.

This gives Snake a chance to to deal major damage to Melting Love.

[Pestilence Cursed Arm]

"GRRRRRRR!!!!!!" Melting Love wails in pain.

In response however, Melting Love releases several flying slimes toward Yersin.

"This is troublesome" Yersin said as he starts dodging and slashing swarm of bat slime. But in doing so, enables Melting Love to march toward the mansion.

"Oh no you don't! You will never reach your goal and be forever trapped by your own ambition!"

[Myrkviðr - Formless Labyrinth to Wander Till Death]

Gigantic trees sprout from the ground surrounding Melting Love and obscuring her vision. She tries to crush them away of course but the trees grow back.

Yateveo : Grrr ...my mana’s depleting too fast, it somehow makes me want to vomit.

Waiter : But at this rate we would win so keep it up.

Waiter appear out of mansion with a lot automata follow him as a reinforcement.

Yateveo : Say...What are we fighting for again? From the look of things, she could just go rampage with that form alone. Why would she even bother coming here?

Waiter : She seeks one of the most troublesome artifacts to ever exist I’m afraid.

Yateveo : A weapon?

Waiter : Not exactly. The thing she’s after is definitely my philosopher's stone.

Yateveo : Hol up…..you mean the very thing every alchemists in the world seek!?

Waiter : More or less, but it probably doesn’t fit what common people would perceive as a philosopher's stone. The true nature of philosopher's stone is not a "metal-to-gold converter" instead it's the ultimate "soul converter". By paying, say, the user’s lifespan. They can be used to perform things like transmuting element to the most horrible curse one could bestow upon a person.

Yateveo : Wait ...don't tell me…

Waiter : My best hypothesis is that Melting Love would obviously use the souls of those she has infected to turn herself into the calamity by infusing herself with some really strong meme essence.

Yateveo : How come you say something like that as if it's common knowledge?

Waiter : Because it already happened once. One soul is enough to give another soul immortality...but now the question is what would a town of souls give to one souls?

Yateveo : Jesus christ, aren't we all here a bunch of edgy kid that'll only play rogue in the d&d session.

Waiter : Hopefully, it will not happen agai--

[Insert Dark Souls backstab sfx here]

Waiter look down to see a knife piercing through his heart.

Waiter : Aw sh\*t, here we go again.

Waiter body falls down to the ground and turns into dust. Revealing his murderer, a little girl in a green shirt with yellow stripe and brown pants, dripping pink slime.

Yateveo : Wha- WHAT! WHEN DID YOU--

Yateveo instantly lash out one of his root at her. But she pulled out a brilliant red stone, pulsing with energy, blasting away Yateveo's root and the ground below him that's enough to send Yateveo flying away, then come tumbling down the field.

Yateveo : H...how...when what..sort of bullsh\*t is this!?

Melting Love in a child’s body laugh maniacally before answer.

Melting Love : YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON!! I AM FLUID THAT CAN PASS THROUGH THE GROUND!! It's a slow process of course, but it's not like I didn’t start doing this like a week ago! And do you really think a tree and three sandbags are enough to stop the flooding of the world?! AHAHAHAHA!!! I played you like the damn FIDDLE!!!

All the pink slime army including the gigantic melting love Yersin fighting with start losing shape, become fluid, and flash flooding through the resisting fire-breathing trees and automata. All gathered into Melting Love loli.

Melting Love : Then I shall show you. The end of your journey. The completion of human history that will bring peace to this planet. The moment my great undertaking is completed! The philosopher's stone, deploy. The Time of Birth has Come, I am the One who Unites All. Now, welcome to the new page of history! Zosimos ὁ Panopolis!

All of Melting Love mass condense into a single point, turn into a black sphere before release astronomical amount of light. Several light beams of various sizes spew out like snakes, ravaging anything in their path. Some of them trying to attack Yateveo and Yersin.

Yateveo is surprisingly good at dodging them by popping in and out of the ground like a diglett. On the other hand,Yersin is unlucky, while he dodging all the big ones, a tiny light beam with a size of a threat sneaks its way into his heart. This kills Yersin.

Yateveo : Snake? Snake! Snakeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

A body of a beautiful lady emerges out of the singularity, long pink hair with a pair of thick draconic horns. Body covered in red-gold fabric with geometric pattern take shape in form of a luxurious dress constantly oozing out pink slime.

The wind stops moving. The sky turns red. The cloud shapes an empty circle in the sky above her. All heralding the birth of a disaster.

**Evil of Humanity manifests.**

**Calamity of Love - Melting Love**

Melting Love : Welcome. Straight to the point, you are going to die. Pointless talk ends here.

She gaze upon Yateveo. That alone made his long lost fight or flight response to kick back in action.

Yateveo : W...well...I'll be dead eating jelly then.

Game over...unless?

??? : Sorry! Sorry! I'm late!

Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, Koko appears, in his casual "ready to hug" stance.

Melting Love : …Who is this clown?

Koko : Oh! Right! I can’t blame you for not recognizing me. Give me a moment.

Koko ...pull off his helmet part of a custom hazmat suit. Revealing his face, with something that looks like a flower made out of solid slime with weird feather in a shape and color of fire sticking out attract to a side of his head.

Melting Love eyes are visibly getting dilated and her jaw are dropping harder than a titanfall.

Melting Love : ...A...IMPOSSIBLE! B-B-B-BROTHER!?!?!?

To be continued...

Alternative ending :  ...A...IMPOSSIBLE! O-O-O-ONII CHAN?!?!?!?
