A mortal hero faces off against an eldritch abomination as old as the universe. The hero fights hard and scores many blows but their foe simply regenerates all damage. Finally, exhausted and near death, the hero puts everything into one final attack, chopping off one single tentacle. Their foe laughs, all that effort for nothing, as the tentacle begins to regenerate. The second part of the attack hits, fire cauterizing the wound and stopping the regeneration.

A single beat passes, as both combatants process what happened. And then the hero is obliterated, but they face oblivion with a smile, knowing that they have won. Even if their entire world is destroyed, there must someday come another. There will always be more. But there is only one abomination, and it will forever more have tentacles numbering countless less one.
