When his service to the King of Negativity began, Killer discovered that there were a wide variety of worlds in which the themes differed greatly from his home world. Unlike places like UnderWorld that were a variation on his AU timeline, there were completely different places like an alternate universe where monsters were exiled to floating islands instead of the underground. In some cases there were even more radical changes like an AU almost entirely composed of water where humans and monsters had to adapt to live in this new environment, as well as the complete opposite, like a world that was swallowed by sandstorms becoming a giant desert. While in other circumstances the world became devoid of life and the monsters and humans had to migrate to another planet.

But regardless of all this, the alternative timelines to his own birthplace were the ones that Killer felt most comfortable with. Perhaps the desire to be close to something more familiar was the main cause, as if this was a consequence of the trauma from being trapped in an almost infinite cycle of repetition. Like a slave who has freed himself from his chains, Killer purposely still put them back on, since he has spent most of his life carrying them.

With this in mind, a knife and axe clashed violently against each other in the middle of the forest of Snowdin's town, from what could be seen in the largely destroyed surroundings, the battle between the two Sans had been going on for a few minutes. Of all the problems Killer had faced in his life, hunger had never been one of them, so he was slightly surprised to discover that there was an alternate version of himself whose entire existence was based on this concept.

HorrorTale was a place filled with bizarreness that rivaled the first AU visited by Killer, but all of that ceased to matter when the confrontation with his counterpart began. A mild attempt at recruitment was initiated at first, however both the target of the negotiation and the negotiator himself didn't seem too keen on the deal. So without the need to exchange a single word with each other, they both decided it would be better to let their weapons speak for themselves.

The first thing that caught his eye about Horror, the native Sans from this place, was the considerably large hole in his skull, even Killer didn't know if he could survive such an injury, but here was his opponent, fighting as if the injury wasn't even there. The second thing that also caught his eye was his weapon, other than a giant brush and a bow, Killer had not encountered any other Sans who used a weapon like him, so a madman who could chop down trees with the single motion of his axe was a nice reminder of how vast and diverse the multiverse could be.

The duo's fight was at what appeared to be a stalemate for some time, but the lack of magic that Horror was suffering from was a deciding factor in bringing the fight to a conclusion. Currently Killer was standing next to his victim who was immobilized on the ground amidst blue bones that prevented him from moving as his soul was also affected by the blue gravitational magic.

- Listen pal, you must understand the gravity of the situation you are in. You only have two options here, submission or death, and believe me when I say that most of me wants you to choose the second option. So think carefully about your answer. - With his hand bathed in a blue glow reaching out for the soul of his enemy, Killer's smile of victory began to fade as his magic began to weaken and his hand shook involuntarily.

Ignoring all the damage he was taking from the blue bones as he moved, Horror with sheer physical strength broke free from the control of the foreign magic and madly advanced against the intruder in his world. At this moment, an attack that not even Chara had performed in over a thousand RESETS occurred, as he grabbed Killer's leg and brought it to his mouth, Horror began an act of cannibalism right there.

This was one of the moments when even someone as emotionless as Killer did not know exactly how to react, because devouring his opponent was an attempt at murder that even he had not even considered carrying out one day. But possessing a belief that one of life's pleasures lies in always trying new experiences, Killer returned the favor and also began biting Horror's leg.
