Pain.
That was what was happening at this moment.
More pain than any of them had ever felt in their lives. More pain than they had ever experienced, they who were at the Planetary level, beings who saw pain as nothing, they hardly reacted to injuries, but now, now, they knew it, they felt it, they convulsed from it, their entire existence trembling under a sensation that far exceeded anything they had ever endured before.
Michael, Irene, Mitchelle, and Collins all opened their mouths and screamed at the top of their lungs as though their existence was being ripped apart in real time, as though unseen forces were tearing into their very souls. When Anthony had told them about pain earlier, they thought nothing of it, after all, they all had ridiculously high pain tolerance thresholds, they had assumed it was something minor, something trivial, something they could endure without effort.
But now... they all knew it... they were all wrong.
