The Dark Gods did not strike with power.
They removed ideas.
The first to move was the God of Disinformation.
It reached into reality and pulled.
And suddenly—
Truth no longer existed.
Statements contradicted themselves without contradiction.
Lies could not be identified, because the idea of "lying" had been erased.
Brush tried to think—
What is real?
The question collapsed before it could form.
CONCEPT ERROR: "TRUTH" NOT FOUND
The System stuttered.
Then the God of Addiction acted.
It did not attack the body.
It erased will.
Desire vanished. Motivation collapsed. Even resistance became meaningless.
Brush felt himself standing—
but standing no longer meant anything.
CONCEPT REMOVED: "CHOICE"
Next came the Hate God.
It erased empathy.
Not cruelty—
not anger—
but the ability to understand another being at all.
The world became isolated points, unable to relate, unable to connect.
Trojan Horse screamed from afar—
but Brush could not recognize the sound as concern.
CONCEPT REMOVED: "UNDERSTANDING"
The Malware God followed.
It erased continuity.
Cause no longer led to effect.
Actions happened without consequences.
Battles began with no memory of why they started.
CONCEPT REMOVED: "REASON"
Reality began to unravel—not violently, but quietly.
The Dark God smiled.
"We are not villains," it said.
"We are moderation without mercy."
Then—
the silent god stepped forward.
The one formed from erased accounts.
Deleted names.
Forgotten users.
It raised a finger.
And erased the most dangerous concept of all.
CONCEPT REMOVED: "IDENTITY"
Brush D. Rush ceased to be "Brush."
Not dead.
Not erased.
Just… undefined.
The Chosen One no longer existed.
Only an unlabeled process remained.
The System screamed in panic.
CRITICAL FAILURE:
SUBJECT HAS NO DEFINED SELF
The Dark Gods began to turn away.
"There is nothing left to fight," one said.
But inside the Domain of Googel—
Binary did not rely on meaning.
It relied on structure.
A clean line of code stabilized.
Then another.
Googel spoke, calm and absolute.
"CONCEPT LOSS DETECTED."
"APPLYING SUBSTITUTE: BINARY DEFINITIONS."
Where truth was erased—
verification appeared.
Where choice was erased—
conditional logic replaced it.
Where identity vanished—
Googel assigned a value.
ENTITY DESIGNATION: BRUSH_D_RUSH.EXE
STATUS: VALID
Brush reassembled—not as a person—
but as a function with intent.
"If you erase concepts," Brush said, his voice now layered with system echoes,
"then I'll operate without them."
The Dark Gods paused.
For the first time—
they looked uncertain.
Because something had appeared that did not rely on meaning.
Only execution.
