Stark Tower.
Tony, uncharacteristically, wasn't drinking. Instead, he rested his chin in his hand, looking seriously at the light screen.
In his mind, the scenes of Researcher Taro Lan's family and friends being harmed kept replaying.
"Every scp that appears is the concretization of an abstract concept. What could this one be? Tyranny? No, no, no, it's definitely not that."
"I need to think from Researcher Taro Lan's feelings… What did it bring to Tarolan? Or rather, what did it turn Tarolan into?"
"I understand!" Tony suddenly clapped his hands, his eyes wide, sparkling with excitement!
"It's depression!!!"
"The true secret of scp-3999 is depression!"
"It is the embodiment of the abstract concept of depression!"
When a person is depressed, it's as if their soul is extracted from their body, watching their shell play a role they don't recognize.
i am among all things precisely replaced his body, making Tarolan "himself" kill his relatives, kill his friends, kill everyone he knew, one by one.
This is equivalent to the concretization of "depression."
Thinking of this, the excitement on Tony's face disappeared, and a hint of sadness welled up in his heart.
How helpless and desperate must Tarolan have been, watching himself kill his loved ones with his own hands, yet unable to stop it, unable even to scream?
Moreover, he must have known that "himself" wouldn't stop, and would kill the next relative, girlfriend, until everyone was killed...
Tony's brow furrowed, and anger appeared in his eyes.
"This beast…"
His fists clenched.
Imagine if i am among all things controlled Tony.
He, in his armor, would kill Pepper.
"No, this must not happen. We must kill 3999!"
"Such a tragedy must never be repeated on anyone!"
...
"i am among all things."
Above the Multiverse, Eternity's mighty consciousness cluster began to circulate.
He was thinking.
Thinking about the meaning of this name.
He hadn't been like this for a very, very long time.
"What are all things? Animals, humans, gods, and even… me?"
"What could exist within each of our individual beings?"
As the gigantic avatar of the Multiverse, Eternity actually compared himself to other "lower life forms."
This was unprecedented, and something no one would dare to imagine.
If the Observer saw it, he would probably have a heart attack on the spot.
"..."
Eternity did not underestimate the Foundation; he understood that every supreme divinity scp that appeared now was incredibly powerful.
Perhaps, there were already signs of them catching up to him.
"Among all things…"
"I understand."
After all, it was Eternity; it didn't take long for him to grasp the true secret of i am among all things—merely through its name.
At the same time, on the mountaintop of Kamar-Taj, Ancient One's pupils trembled.
She spoke the next words almost simultaneously with Eternity.
"Suffering!"
Yes, suffering!
This was the true secret of i am among all things!
...
Deep in the Universe
The Observer exclaimed, "Could it be, suffering?"
For these "people" with top-tier intelligence, guessing the truth of i am among all things was not strange.
They had all lived for thousands and tens of thousands of years, and had seen far too many things.
Moreover, the case provided by the Foundation was already very illustrative.
"Tarolan… That name sounds like an Earthling's, so after this 'i am among all things' invades, the first place it will likely go is Earth."
"What will it do once it reaches Earth?"
The Observer began to ponder.
"Everything i am among all things did to Tarolan seemed to be for the purpose of torment."
"It violates his sister, tears out her eyeballs, cuts off her legs, twists everything, then does it again…"
"i am among all things must be taking pleasure from tormenting Tarolan."
"This suggests that it is highly likely a supreme divinity with consciousness and high intelligence, unlike Anantasesha, which only acts on instinct."
"However… why did it specifically choose Tarolan?"
"Who exactly is this Tarolan?"
...
The Earthlings under the light screen began a heated discussion.
"This Tarolan is too miserable… My goodness."
"Yes, watching himself harm his loved ones with his own eyes yet being powerless, unable even to commit suicide, sigh."
"Speaking of which, I thought of that Spoon Demon."
"Holy crap, indeed! i am among all things and the Spoon Demon are the same; they both choose one person, begin to torment them, and then no one else in the World knows about it!"
"Right, I thought of that too! It's just that this i am among all things is much more perverted and much stronger than the Spoon Demon!"
Kamar-Taj.
A look of worry appeared on Ancient One's face.
She also understood that this "i am among all things" would definitely come to Earth first.
Moreover, perhaps its true ability is to bring suffering to everyone.
A scene appeared in her mind.
i am among all things descends, and everyone in the entire World becomes possessed, beginning to kill each other, then being resurrected, then killing again, then resurrecting again…
Furthermore, if the ability of i am among all things is even stronger, all living beings in the entire Universe will fall into eternal suffering!
This is even more terrifying than the destruction of the Universe.
"Qin Yu… Do you have any solutions this time?" Ancient One murmured.
"I don't have any solutions." Qin Yu suddenly appeared, no one knew when.
Ancient One seemed to be used to it: "Even you don't have any solutions?"
Qin Yu smiled faintly: "Yes, you've probably already deduced it. This 'i am among all things' has no physical form. Scps without a physical form are the hardest to deal with, and its ability is also so powerful."
"But!" Qin Yu held up a finger, changing his tone: "It's not hopeless."
"What hope?" Ancient One's spirits immediately lifted upon hearing this.
Qin Yu lowered his head, pondering for a moment.
Then, he slowly raised his head, with a mysterious smile.
"We have someone."
"Researcher Taro Lan."
