I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 57: Shx’Trelith, the Outer God of Discontinuation.

The Sinclairs were a family which were tasked to deal with the Cultivation Outer Domain.

But instead of fighting them like the Ravencroft family, The Sinclairs forged bonds with them.

The reason Cultivation Outer Domain was the first ally of the Human Federation among the Eight Outer Domains was largely attributed to the Sinclairs.

Now, two hundred later after they first set food on Earth, the Eight Outer Domains had established various bases of operation on Earth.

The Sinclair Family’s Headquarters were situated in the main base of operation of the Cultivation Outer Domain.

Just like how the Ravencrofts had their members in the Human Federation, the Sinclairs had an even higher number of people in positions of authority in the main base.

However, their authority was only limited to the main base of operation.

Unlike the Ravencrofts, their future potential was limited, as there was still the entire Cultivation Outer Domain above them, where outsiders would be given limited authority.

There were people who called them lapdogs of the Cultivation Outer Domain, but The Human Federation always dealt harshly with them.

The Sinclairs had indeed held back the Cultivation Outer Domain after all, be it through making them an ally or submitting to them. There was no rule which stated they had to make an enemy of everyone.

Sinclair’s contribution to the Human Federation in terms of resources and information remains one of the highest for the past decade.

Damn. I am meeting people with crazy ass backgrounds one after another.

Eryndor sighed inwardly. At least, it was a good thing that his backer had a big background.

The other two also kept quiet for a long time after Liliana straight up brought her family between their arguments to bully them. They could only shut up.

Approximately an hour later when he was starting to get bored, Eryndor caught sight of a massive base in the distance.

Passing through the gate, he saw various signs of space technologies.

Space? Yea, in hindsight, I should have figured it out. Forbidden Voids couldn’t have been on Earth.

He thought, while mentally face palming.

The car finally halted near a certain building.

Everyone stepped out of it, letting a valet drive the car away.

Not knowing what to do, Eryndor could only follow Liliana and the team.

"Have you had lunch?"

Liliana asked him.

Eryndor nodded. He had plenty to fill his stomach with while waiting for professor Melissa in the mission hall.

"Alright, read this document in the meantime that we have lunch. Update yourself with the mission details and its requirements."

Liliana held out the document which a staff had handed to her as soon as they walked in.

Eryndor took the document and sat with them on the table.

While they began ordering various kinds of dishes, Eryndor opened the document.

Mission Report: Data Retrieval Operation - Shx’Trelith

Entity Designation: Shx’Trelith, the Outer God of Discontinuation.

Anomaly Classification: Apocalypse - Shatter - Threaded

Containment Status: Uncontained.

Objective:

Recover data logs from the AI unit stationed at the Shx’Trelith observation site with minimal interaction with the entity.

Due to the risk of Shx’Trelith tracing connections back to Earth, the AI has remained isolated, and all data retrieval must be conducted with extreme caution.

Summary:

Shx’Trelith is an Eldritch Entity whose mere presence compels belief in its existence, but the victim soon forgets awareness of it.

Those who perceive it experience an unshakable certainty in its divinity, but soon after, memories of it deteriorate.

This contradiction leaves the entity both prideful and frustrated, as it craves recognition but is ultimately forgotten.

It also exhibits extreme social anxiety, preferring ’minimal but deep’ bonds as it termed it itself. Because of this, a limited AI was placed in its vicinity to conduct long-term interaction, data collection and build a bond.

The AI is designed to be immune to Shx’Trelith’s cognitohazardous and antimemetic effects, serving as the sole recorder of its behavior.

The United Human Federation has avoided all direct connections to the AI, fearing that Shx’Trelith may use even the smallest link to influence or reach beyond the Forbidden Void.

This caution persists despite the presence of the Film of Forbidden Void, which limits its powers and completely obstructs its perception of the outside world.

The entity can only observe the space outside the Forbidden Void visually.

Shx’Trelith refers to itself by name frequently and insists on being addressed as Shx’Trelith, the Outer God of Discontinuation. It thinks it’s a ’cool’ name.

It is known to be open to revealing secrets, but only when in a good mood.

Observations suggest it engages in creative behavior when experiencing extreme boredom, notably controlling miniature asteroids to arrange them into patterns and shapes.

It was once recorded manipulating a star to add ’colors’ to its drawings.

Observed Characteristic:

Cognitohazardous Influence: Forces belief in its divinity upon perception.

Antimemetic Obfuscation: Causes forgetfulness of its existence. The entity takes both pride and shame in this ability.

Variable Behavior: Reacts differently depending on mood.

Extreme Social Anxiety: Avoids large groups and may become uncooperative or unresponsive when overwhelmed.

Text Manipulation: Ability to read and edit text remotely, effortlessly altering records or inserting new information.

It’s known for its mischievous nature, often pranking others by changing the texts possessed by those it interacts with.

Secret Revelation: May disclose hidden knowledge if in the mood to do so.

Potential Digital Awareness: May detect electronic activity and trace data links under unknown conditions.

Telekinesis: Controls asteroids and, on at least one occasion, a star, to create visual patterns in space when experiencing extreme boredom.

Retrieval Protocol:

Physical access to the AI must be conducted in a controlled, shielded environment.

Personnel must communicate with Shx’Trelith only under the most necessary circumstances.

AI logs must be manually extracted and verified for potential tampering by the entity.

Any anomalous alterations in the retrieved data must be flagged for further analysis.

Current Status & Theoretical Suppression:

The Film of Forbidden Void serves as a protective barrier against its influence, but the full extent of its containment remains uncertain.

The AI remains our best source of insight into Shx’Trelith’s nature, but extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unintended exposure or data corruption.

Eryndor had a weird expression on his face as he finished reading the report.

This Eldritch Entity is a fucking shut-in introvert.
