Hello Internet - and welcome back to the most inquisitive channel on YouTube, Life’s Biggest
Questions - the place where we chant the verse that brings his name into our realm - and
ere the end of all your days, the Crimson Khan shall ride.
I mean - sorry about that.
What’s going on guys, as per usual I’ll be your disembodied host Jack Finch - as we
scramble to keep a lid on this XK-End of the World scenario, and regretfully ask the question
- What If The Scarlet King Was Real?
Roll the clip.
Well - well, well - where do we even begin to break down the most evil entity in all
of existence, the King of Darkness Below, the Crimson Khan - The Scarlet King himself
- a creature whose soul demonic occupation is to usher in armageddon and the end of all
creation?
Not even that, but how do we begin to hypothesise if this guy was a real, palatable threat to
our own reality as we know it.
Who’s saying that he’s not?
Before we jump into that though - you know the drill by now.
If you’re a fan of LBQ, the SCP Foundation - or just general apocalyptic scenarios in
general, then why don’t you go ahead and give this video a thumbs up - and make sure
to hit that subscribe bell so you can stay up to date with our latest and greatest uploads.
If you know nothing about the the Scarlet King - then let me break it down for you.
There are few creatures in the absolutely mind-numbingly terrifying world of the SCP
Foundation that even come close to the immense eldritch power that the Scarlet King possesses.
As Foundation protocol states, The Scarlet King is the most powerful malevolent entity
in the Multiverse - and a vast majority of level 4 and above threat levels are abominations
created by the King himself.
And in all reality - there’s not a lot that we can do to stop him.
SCP-2317 is a vain attempt in keeping the Crimson Khan sated through a meaningless protocol
that serves solely to maintain the morale of Foundation staff.
He’s coming, and we’re pretty much screwed.
As the legend goes, he was born alongside the planting of the Tree of Knowledge - where
his name was Khahrahk - the smallest and most feeble of his siblings, but the only one afflicted
with the burden of awareness - which brought him great pain knowing that existence itself
was a plague.
He vowed to destroy the Tree, the Creator - and Creation itself - and began to consume
his siblings, growing stronger and stronger with each of their essence.
He named himself King of the Darkness Below - and declared a war on creation itself - one
which will not end until the very end of everything.
Now I don’t know about you, but existential dread is already a terrifying enough concept
- let alone it having both a name and a face.
What if the abyss was personable?
What if every black hole and dying neutron star was just another victory in the Scarlet
King’s war effort?
What if The End - with a capital E - was a very real, and tangible entity?
How would our species fare against a nigh-omnipotent vessel of destruction?
Well - we’d be completely and utterly boned, but bare with me - because there may be a
small, glimmer of hope in the deep depths of the SCP archive.
To understand this - we first have to take a look at SCP-231, a case which lies on the
darker side of the Foundation’s records - that is definitely not for the faint hearted.
SCP-231-through 7 - were a group of seven females found after the raid on a Satanic
Sex Cult, an organization otherwise known as The Children Of The Scarlet King.
Yes - you heard that correctly, there are numerous organizations across this planet
with the malintent to recreate the supposedly fictional origination of the King of the Darkness
Below, hidden in plain view as fundamentalist Christian sects, crazy backwater hosts to
the Crimson Khan who’d like nothing more than to witness the end of all existence.
So dedicated in fact, that they kidnapped and held hostage seven innocents to practice
their vile machinations.
This is in direct correlation with the Scarlet King’s mythos - and his spawning of seven
brides after consuming the essence of Sanna, the wisest and most beautiful of the gods.
Seven brides, seven seals.
They were A’tivik - A’ghor - A’distat - A’zieb - A’nuht - A’tellif and the
seventh bride, A’habbat - the smallest and the weakest, but the only one not utterly
broken by The Scarlet King - and the only one who was sealed as hope.
If you’ve ever heard someone whisper the words 110-Montauk, they’ll you’ll understand
the grim reality of this situation - but we’ll leave that to one side.
Whether the Children of the Scarlet King were trying to usher forward their dark god into
our mortal realm - or were in fact trying to protect us from it - we’ll never know,
but there’s one thing that we do know, and if you’re a keen surveyor of the SCP Archives,
and LBQ’s involvement with them - you’ll be aware that our most recent video was a
showcase of that cute, orange, squidgy little guy - SCP-999 - who, in actual fact - was
birthed by the seventh bride, SCP-231-7.
Yes - you heard that correctly.
SCP-999 is a Thaumiel spawn of The Scarlet King - and perhaps, may be the only hope that
we have against the end of existence.
Why?
Because the only hope that we have to overthrown The Scarlet King - is not by force - we are
powerless against the vile dread of him - but by light and love and laughter that can brighten
the blackest of hearts.
For our sake, let’s hope that’s true.
Now - you may have noticed that this particular LBQ video hasn’t really meandered its way
through a hypothetical scenario in which The Scarlet King is real, usually speaking - where
we weigh up the many pros and cons - mainly cons, of an all-consuming-evil-reality - and
I regret to inform you that this has been intentional - a highly purposeful exercise,
to inform you all /that The Scarlet King is coming/.
*Cough* Sorry about that folks - unfortunately, that’s all we’ve got time for today - leave
your thoughts about the Scarlet King and the SCP Foundation in the comment box down below.
If you’ve enjoyed this video, go ahead and give it a thumbs up - and share it on to your
nearest Satanic Cult.
As per usual, I’ve been your host Jack Finch - you’ve been watching Life’s Biggest
Questions - and until next time, you take it easy.
