  • SCP 4840 B is a Keter Class anomaly also known as The Demon Lancelot.
    SCP-4840 is a large, ancient, abandoned city floating roughly 7.8km3 above an empty region in the Russian arctic. The architecture of SCP4840 suggests that, while the city appears to predate any known civilization, SCP 4840 was constructed using advanced techniques and materials.
    SCP-4840-B is a massive, vaguely humanoid entity that lies unmoving in the ruins of the Temple of Sunset.
    SCP 4840 B has a human torso ending in six legs and six severely distended arms, each of which ends in a rough metal clasp affixed to a chain connecting to a large iron flail at its end. SCP4840B also bears markings consistent with those found on SCP-2254, which appear to be some kind of sign or sigil6.

      And how it arose from such an idle request. Just his innocent fascination with how the stars looked. Had he just not asked or been denied, things wouldn’t have gone that way, but that’s the benefit of hindsight and gaining wisdom over time

    • @undeadprinceofchaos3731
      @undeadprinceofchaos3731 Před 2 lety +30

      It is truly a tragic feeling. Seth believes that all the turnoil, death, destruction, and all evil that has ever been committed in the world was all his fault. If he hadn’t asked for a star, than the slow corruption of his father and the betrayal of his brothers, along with all the other horrible events would have never happened.

    I appreciate that in the middle of this Theogony-level cosmic web of explanation, it goes out of its way to say "Wait, the Arthurian Lancelot?" and then go "Nope, completely different." A humorous swerve I smiled at. Sometimes you need jokes like that in pieces like this.

  • @undeadprinceofchaos3731
    @undeadprinceofchaos3731 Před 2 lety +105

    The Kactusverse is no doubt one of the best and most incredibly written canons in the SCP Universe. The many connections to other SCPs and/or entities, the way it incorporates both religion and mythology into a story of the ancient world and how all life on Earth started, tells stories of prosperity, greed, corruption, betrayal, destruction, and regret, makes this canon one that should definitely be given a read!

  • @anonymousnoone7035

    I gotta applaud the author for this one. They really know how to make a story that's befitting of the SCPs involved in it: One that's complexly fantastical, and only makes sense if you don't think about it. Just like the SCP Multiverse itself.
