"I can still do much more," John said clenching his fists and glaring at them.
" I can...." He attempted to mutter when he suddenly heard ringings in his head, he reacted to this by placing his hands on his head and he shook it vigorously but that didn't seem to help.
His vision started distorting as the white spacious room his eyes viewed had a black gooey thing breaking through the walls and sluggishly oozing out, this thing brought fear Into him.
He faced Jaus for answers or perhaps anything he would say that would soothe him but just as he turned back to meet the handsome scientist, the image of him faded away quickly, like a cloud of dust suddenly swept off by an angry wind.
He was alone in this bizarre world in his head.
The goo suddenly picked up its pace and squirmed towards him. It had a projected front and with it, comes a large seemingly flat surface dragging behind it and with every meter it covers, everything in its radius gets engulfed and corrupted taking the appearance and morphing into the creature.
His mind couldn't fully process what was happening but he did know that he stood no chance against this, even with his newfound strength.
He came to realize that over the few minutes of his modification, he had grown complacent, he wasn't special and Jaus had specifically told him that he was still quite weak, there were still stronger foes out there.
He suddenly faced back and wanted to head for the door but just as he did so, the door disappeared and he fell into utter darkness. Everything was dark but he could still make of the gooey thing's approach.
His legs gave out and to the black ground, he went, quivering and cowering in extreme fear as the alien goo crosses the distance.
He thought of yelling but then he realized that it was of no use, he surely was alone.
" What's....this?" Just as he said this, the thing engulfed him.
He felt himself, falling down and down, further on in darkness but after a while, distant luminous images formed at his sides, then without precedence he appeared on a flat dark surface just like how the room was.
The goo he saw came once again, this time materializing itself uprightly, dark legs came up at first, then an abdomen, hands, and finally a head. There it stood towering the young man before it, stars began to birth themselves within the void of this being and its head got occupied by two huge stars that stood at the front perhaps taking the role as his eyes.
It looked down at him with no expression whatsoever. However, voices invaded John's head, the thing was speaking directly to his mind.
" I am power beyond your comprehension, the absolute, unrelenting will of the cosmos. Whether by your own will or the will of others you have been sent before me, but I am not the toy of man to be challenged at will"
"Ahhh, Ahhhhhhh" John cried in great pain as he heard this, his mind felt like it will increase in volume and burst out at any moment. He was on his feet earlier but when it spoke he couldn't help but fall lying and twisting about on the ground like he was having a convulsion.
"Arghhhh Ahhhhhh" he screamed and shot up from his bed. He was covered in sweat and his hair was roughened up.
" Are you ok?" Jaus suddenly came forward and asked, he placed his arms on John's face but the man made no attempt to speak.
" Are you ok?" he asked once again, he received no response again, the young man just had his eyes open but he was unconscious.
He immediately brought his fingers, felt his pulse, and then brought his hand to John's chest to feel his heartbeat.
'His body was in peak condition so what happened, he passed out just after the test and the next thing he does was yell'
He brought his fingers and brought John's eyelid down, he rested him on the bed once again.
Meanwhile, some people were around observing the happening. They are Jaus's colleagues who saw the young man hurriedly carrying someone on his shoulder and they came to help. Jaus had told them what transpired and obviously, they felt happy that they were going to reach a breakthrough soon.
" This is....."
" Psychological attacks?"
" Perhaps he had a nightmare"
They all conversed amongst each other while the young man lay.
