Demonic Devourer: First, I Eat the Babies [LitRPG]

PT-31

[Clearance class 2 required to view. Your clearance class is: 4.]

Alternate Designations: Inome, the Proto-Titan of Time

Category: 5

Alignment: Titan

Containment Status: Irrelevant

Description: PT-31 was designated Inome, the Proto-Titan of Time. Due to the artificial nature of proto-Titans as well as the relatively low power cap of the Whitestar Kingdom, investigation is to be taken into the processes utilized to create it. For more information, view the ongoing Whitestar Kingdom and Deadmarked files.

PT-31 had a limited* control over time. This control grew increasingly intense as distance to PT-31 decreased.

The following is an estimation of its capabilities. Due to a lack of data, these findings may be inaccurate.

Stage 1 (further than 1 km): Minute control is limited. PT-31 generally cannot affect this region noticeably, with one notable exception.

Stage 2 (50 meters to 1 km): Minute control is greater. PT-31 can create time distortions with radii up to 5 meters. These distortions are not immediately fatal; however, the distortion greatly accelerates time, on the order of 1 universal second equating 1 year within the distortion. Any part of an object or being trapped within a distortion is to be considered lost.

Stage 3 (less than 50 meters): Total control over time. PT-31 is capable of at-will temporal rewinds. Any attack originating from a being with power less than an average Category 2 is unlikely to break this defense. As the Proto-Titan is still immature, it is believed that this immunity will increase in intensity until it is unable to be slain by conventional means.

Proto-Titan Incident 31-1

Event Witness: Operator Kiren Uten alias “Weapons Collector” — Category 3

Secondary Event Witness: [REMOVED]

Time of Event: [REMOVED], 13:01:12

 

Note: Event details corroborated by on-site operator and [REMOVED]. Report may not be entirely accurate.

Also, I was shielding or running for my life for half of it. Seriously, what the hells? You’re lucky I was there. None of the Whitestar ops would’ve stood a chance as it was. What Titan shows up in a Cat 1 country? Just remember, this was a good day. There’s a reason this report had to be written by the second.

- Kirin.

 

[13:01:12 to 13:14:15 collapsed for brevity.]

 

13:14:15

Operator Uten deploys the anomalous Saturation Bomb within one hundred meters of PT-31. As of [REMOVED], Operator Uten confirms a Category 4 equivalent payload with 2,004 nuclear strikes of varying intensities.

Uten then activates a teleportation anchor, returning him to the operator contingent deployed against PT-31 at 13:01:12, hereafter referred to as 31-A.

 

13:14:16

Operator Uten initiates usage of special skills.

Special skill activated: Ability Extension, providing Autoproofing to the remaining seven members of 31-A.

31-A-1 activates Force Bubble.

 

13:14:17

The Saturation Bomb detonates and continues to detonate for the following thirty-four seconds. No usable data until 13:14:51.

Saturation Bomb effect contained to a 25-kilometer radius by Operator Jessica Lightlark, deployed against T-08 “Sersui.”

12 combatant casualties confirmed. 7,513 noncombatant casualties confirmed. See footnote[1].

 

13:14:51

PT-31 integrity loss estimated at 95-97%.

Details were fuzzy here. Don’t know if the higher ups had a skill that could actually see through the smoke, but I’m assuming they did. I was mostly focused on keeping our asses intact. Autoproofing protects me from direct effects, not secondary ones.

NOTE TO SELF: Fix personal notes before submitting report.

 

13:14:57

The smoke clears. Visibility from both primary and secondary event witnesses returns.

PT-31 demonstrates regeneration ability beyond that of the 16 observed Titans. PT-31 demonstrates capability for localized temporal rewind.

Further attacks fail to reduce PT-31’s integrity in any significant measure. This process continues for 14 seconds.

 

13:15:11

Operator Uten gains visual confirmation of a second group of survivors by a skill observed to be Starlight Shield empowered by a domain. Notably, this second group contains Sierra Jade and Adrian Stahr of Probability Project 477 (alias: Hex) and Evelyn Carnelian of [REMOVED].

Three uncontained anomalies in one place is insane, but it’s not like anybody told me. Looks like the first two are supposed to be given free reign. Don’t have clearance to see what Carnelian’s deal is. Not my problem anymore, at least.

 

13:15:12

Evelyn Carnelian advances.

 

13:15:13

Carnelian demonstrates possession of a unique special skill: Equalize.

And that’s when it all went to shit. Feel free to leave that in the final report. — Kirin.

 

13:15:14

Carnelian, experiences a surge of the following types of magic: divine, demonic, blood, Titan.

Carnelian is hereafter also designated PT-32.

Uten observes a sudden increase in perceived size as the effect surrounding PT-32 expands to match the size of PT-31. Unlike the amorphous body of PT-31, however, PT-32’s magical form possesses seven distinct heads, ten extraneous limbs of lengths between 80-120 meters, and 280* humanoid figures surrounding it at a uniform height of 60 meters.

 

13:15:15

Carnelian’s construct attacks PT-31. PT-31 suffers 31% integrity loss from a single beam-based attack. This beam continues traveling through PT-31, annihilating matter in its path. Operator Uten reports an inability to visually perceive the attack due to its brightness.

Secondary event witness confirms that PT-32’s attack has no light output.

 

13:15:16

This beam continues traveling for approximately 160 kilometers before abruptly fading. It strikes an unnamed Wasteland outpost. Attack is anomalous; UCC observer struck by the beam recorded existence in an empty anomalous fragment for ~9.9 seconds before destruction on the molecular level. Cause currently unknown.

All personnel struck by PT-32’s attack, hereafter to also be referred to as PT-32-1, are considered to be lost.

Confirmed combatant casualties: 16. Confirmed noncombatant casualties: 412. See footnote[1].

 

13:15:17

PT-31, “Inome,” reacts.

 

13:15:13 (2)

PT-31 activates a global temporal rewind. Any personnel not using an active reality anchor does not remember the events of the past (now future) three seconds.

PT-31’s integrity loss remains. PT-32 remains. Effects of PT-32-1 remain.

T-08 “Sersui” drastically increased its speed. Confirmed combatant casualties: 72. Confirmed noncombatant casualties: 3,772.

To direct causes. Total damage is looking to be in the tens of thousands. — Lightlark.

 

13:15:14 (2)

PT-32 manifests 419 additional humanoid figures in a ring around it.

 

13:15:15 (2)

PT-32-1 is activated again. PT-31 suffers an additional 47% integrity loss.

PT-32 manifests 300 additional humanoid figures.

300 casualties estimated. Secondary event witness could not locate those affected.

 

13:15:16 (2)

PT-31 demonstrates its Stage 2 capability. Operators Uten, Stonepeak, Greywood, and Winda are caught by temporal distortions. Using a Stasis Machine to survive, Uten experiences the equivalent of 1 year per second. He remains capable of observing the ongoing battle.

Operators Stonepeak, Greywood, and Winda do not possess similar items. Dispel Magic records over 9,103 uses between the three of them during this second. The distortions remain.

Operator Stonepeak expires due to thirst. Operator Greywood expires due to thirst. Operator Winda survives with her Creation skill.

 

13:15:17

PT-32 advances.

 

13:15:17

PT-32 makes physical contact with PT-31. PT-31 demonstrates its Stage 1 capability. Both Proto-Titans suffer a 20% integrity loss in the exchange. PT-31 recovers 15% via temporal rewind.

PT-31 begins producing offshoots, sacrificing 10% of its integrity to do so. Uten counts 9,999.

 

13:15:18

Probability Project 447 anomaly Adrian Stahr advances to Category 2. Domain activation recorded.

Domain: The Unforgiving Sea activation confirmed. This is a unique domain. Capability to summon ~1,000,000,000,000 gallons of water, submerging a cubic mile, confirmed. Capability to exclude others from the effect confirmed.

Capability to direct 300% of the maximum water pressure into a single point confirmed.

 

13:15:19

PT-31 offshoots eliminated.

Evelyn Carnelian and her associated construct are excluded from Stahr’s effect. PT-32’s 699 humanoid figures exit the radius of the body, becoming offshoots.

PT-32 exerts its command. PT-31 responds in kind. Both rapidly lose integrity. PT-31’s Stage 2 effects dissipate.

 

13:15:20

PT-31 attempts to flee, initiating a global time stop.

PT-32 breaks the temporal freeze.

 

13:15:21

PT-31 attempts communication.

It spoke to all of us. Never understood what it felt like to bleed from the brain before that. — Kirin.

PT-32 responds.

One word. Everyone heard it.

Die.

 

13:15:22

Sersui responds.

 

13:15:23

The domain dissipates. Humidity drops to 0% within a 10 kilometer radius. The earth opens.

Adrian Stahr expires.

Operator Alice Winda expires.

Ashley Kane expires.

Operator Florence “Rin” Starsea expires.

Operator Aster Slya expires.

Operator Kevin Feng expires.

Azaril Halcyon expires.

Operators Kirin Uten and Angelina Kyris successfully engage a teleportation anchor and evacuate.

PT-32 disappears alongside Sierra Jade. Its signature is not able to be located due to the presence of a true Titan.

Casualty count ongoing. See footnote[1].

 

13:15:24

PT-31 “Inome” expires.

 

13:15:25

Sersui surfaces.

 

[1] Casualties are currently estimated between 50,000 and 100,000. 42,714 deaths have been confirmed. Due to the ongoing nature of the situation, they cannot be accurately counted. A non-exhaustive list includes the following:
