As Avyay stood before Levia, he felt a sense of trepidation wash over him. The air was thick with tension, and he could feel the weight of the unknown pressing down upon him. Levia's eyes seemed to bore into his very soul, as if searching for something hidden deep within.
"I want to ask you a question," Levia said, her voice low and mysterious. "If you are facing a man whose intentions are good, but for completing his goal, he took a wrong path, knowing he wanted to destroy this multiverse. What will you do?"
Avyay's mind raced as he considered the question. He thought about the moral implications of such a decision, the consequences of choosing to support someone who sought to destroy entire worlds. But he also thought about the potential benefits of ending discrimination, of creating a universe where all beings could live in harmony.
"I will help him if he wants to end discrimination," Avyay said finally, his voice firm and resolute. "But if he wants to kill innocent people to achieve his goal, then I will stop him, no matter what it takes."
Levia's face broke into a smile, and she nodded in approval. "I will teleport you to a different place," she said, and with a wave of her hand, Avyay felt himself being lifted out of the room.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the ruins of a city that looked eerily like his own. The buildings were crumbling, the streets were littered with debris, and the air was thick with the smell of smoke and ash. Avyay's heart raced as he explored the hospital, his footsteps echoing off the walls.
As Avyay turned a corner, he stumbled upon a lab where a sharp-eyed monster awaited him. Its eyes glowed with an otherworldly energy, like two stars burning bright in the darkness. Its body seemed to be made of some kind of dark, shadowy material that shifted and rippled like a living thing. The monster was at least ten feet tall, its massive frame looming over Avyay like a titan. Its razor-sharp claws gleamed in the dim light, and its teeth seemed to be dripping with venom.
Avyay's heart raced as he froze in terror, his mind struggling to comprehend the horror before him. The monster took a step closer, its eyes fixed on Avyay with an unblinking gaze that seemed to bore into his very soul. Avyay could feel its hot breath on his skin, like a blast of furnace heat that left him feeling scorched and trembling.
With a surge of adrenaline, Avyay spotted a rusty rod lying on the ground nearby. He grabbed it with a desperate strength, and with a mighty swing, he struck the monster with all his might. The rod pierced the monster's chest, releasing a torrent of dark energy that seemed to spread like a stain across the floor.
The monster roared in pain and stumbled backward, its claws flailing wildly as it tried to dislodge the rod from its chest. Avyay took advantage of the momentary distraction to strike again and again, each blow landing with a sickening crunch that sent shockwaves through the monster's body.
Finally, with a last, defeated roar, the monster collapsed to the ground, its body twitching and convulsing as it let out a deafening roar. Avyay stood over it, his chest heaving with exhaustion, and knew that he had finally emerged victorious. He had defeated the monster, and he had taken one step closer to completing his mission.
As he caught his breath, Avyay noticed a file lying on a nearby table. He walked over to it, his eyes scanning the contents as he read. The file belonged to a scientist named Dr. Elara Vex, who had been one of the few survivors of the initial outbreak. She had spent her remaining days searching for a cure, but it had been too late. The virus had spread too far, and the planet had been lost.

"The planet's weather patterns have become increasingly unstable," Dr. Vex had written. "The storms are growing stronger, and the lightning is becoming more frequent. I have observed strange mutations in the monsters, too. They seem to be evolving, adapting to the changing environment. I fear that soon, they will be unstoppable.
"The monsters are growing larger, their bodies twisting and contorting in ways that seem impossible. Their claws are longer, their teeth sharper, and their eyes burn with an otherworldly energy. I have seen them take down entire cities, leaving nothing but rubble and ash in their wake.
"I have discovered the secret to human evolution and strengthening. The key lies in the consumption of monster meat. By eating the flesh of these creatures, we can tap into their dark energy and harness their power for ourselves.
"But be warned, the process is not without risk. The monster's meat is toxic, and can cause hallucinations, paranoia, and even madness. I have seen it happen to others, and I fear that it may happen to me as well.
"I have included a sketch of the monster's mutation patterns, as well as a map of the planet's weather patterns. Use this information wisely, and may the gods be with you."
Avyay's eyes widened as he read the words, a shiver running down his spine. He had never heard of such a thing before, but something about it resonated deep within him. He looked down at the monster's lifeless body, and for a moment, he considered Dr. Vex's words. Could it be true? Could eating the monster's meat really give him the strength he needed to survive in this harsh new world?
With a sense of trepidation, Avyay reached down and tore a piece of flesh from the monster's leg. He brought it to his lips, hesitating for a moment before taking a bite. The meat was tough and bitter, but as he chewed, he felt a strange energy coursing through his veins. It was as if the monster's power was flowing into him, strengthening his muscles and sharpening his senses.
As he ate, the storm outside seemed to intensify, the lightning flashing brighter and the thunder booming louder. The wind howled through the streets, whipping up debris and dust into a maelstrom of chaos. And in the midst of it all, Avyay felt that something strange had happened. Avyay's body began to change, his muscles bulging, his senses heightening. He felt his bones shifting, his skin tightening, and his mind expanding. The room around him grew brighter, the sounds clearer, and the smells more pungent.
When the transformation finally subsided, Avyay gazed at his reflection in awe. His body was stronger, faster, and more agile than ever before. His eyes gleamed with a newfound intensity, and his heart pounded with a fierce determination.
With a roar of triumph, Avyay punched the wall, the sound of cracking concrete echoing through the hospital. He had become something more, something greater. And with this newfound power, he vowed to complete the trial, to vanquish the monsters that plagued this ruined city, and to restore balance to the planet's consciousness.
