Pillars of Destruction

00:00:53,860 --> 00:00:56,640
In the beginning,
God created everything.
5
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:16,120
But His most beloved creation, Man,
6
00:01:16,430 --> 00:01:20,480
not satisfied with everything,
decided to create even more.
7
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,600
God created man from clay,
8
00:01:30,020 --> 00:01:33,220
and Man, with clay,
tried to reach God.
9
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,720
God created the land and the trees,
10
00:01:38,180 --> 00:01:40,640
and Man took possession of them all.
11
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:45,440
God created the sky,
separating it from the sea,
12
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,540
and Man covered the sky with ashes
and corrupted the waters.
13
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,760
God, at the start of everything,
first created light.
14
00:01:57,540 --> 00:02:00,500
Jealous, Man created his own light.
15
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,420
However, God's light created life.
16
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,920
That of Man — death.
17
00:02:11,420 --> 00:02:44,720
Residing within the confines
of the pillars of creation,
18
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,260
God then created the answer
to the light of Man.

00:03:36,370 --> 00:03:44,100
The Federal University of Pará was the scene
of a mysterious event that intrigues
the scientific community and defies
all laws of nature and reason.
22
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:52,200
A singular pointed object was found
on the university campus, and there was
no logical explanation for the sudden
appearance of this structure,
23
00:03:52,580 --> 00:03:57,820
which simply appeared overnight,
pointing at the sky
like a giant buried finger.
24
00:03:57,829 --> 00:04:06,560
The university canceled classes
at the Professional Campus of Guamá
to conduct an investigation into where
this monolith emerged from amid
the green pastures of the campus.
25
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,080

quickly spread among

After analysis of the collected samples,
it was determined that the composition of
the object's material is an unknown metal,
bearing no resemblance to any other element
present in the periodic table.
35

Most concerning is the second element
found in the metallic alloy compound — human flesh.

Furthermore, after sample collection from
the object, it began to emit a weak vibration

a 50-meter radius.

The only thing known is that,
according to reports, this cloud began
to form after the Scarlet Obelisk —
or as it is popularly known, the "Nail" —
62
00:08:15,690 --> 00:08:22,050
displayed an abnormal vibration,
according to monitoring
by UFPA's Natural Anomalies Group.

composition of these clouds is, nor what
could happen if they were to rain,
