Eternal Death
At this moment, whether on the left or the right, the deeper they went, the more drastic the changes became.
On the left, the Carbon-Based Abyss, which had once throbbed with vigorous life, had now fallen into widespread dimness and rigor mortis.
The originally dark-red, moist flesh had become withered, blackened necrotic tissue, like the internal organs of a giant beast exposed to vacuum, covered in wrinkles and cracks.
Most of the vascular networks that had carried surging phosphorescent fluid had already ruptured and withered, coiling around the dead flesh walls like dry vines. Only a few areas still retained faint, irregular twitches, like the reflexes of dying nerves.
The gigantic masses of organ tissue had collapsed like rotting fruit, their surfaces covered in a gray, lifeless membrane resembling fungus. The intense aura of life in the air had been replaced by an aura of death mixed with a foul stench of decay and dust.
This was not slumber, but necrosis and silence after the complete collapse of a life system.
The Information Hell on the right had likewise lost its dazzling, berserk hellish information.
The data torrents that had once flowed together like neon waterfalls had become intermittent and fragmented.
Vast regions had fallen into an ominous state of "black screen," pure darkness like the cosmic background. Only sporadic electric arcs occasionally streaked across it like dying fireflies.
