[Tatsumaki: I was wrong! Big Sister Zhixin, I was wrong! Please spare me!]

[...]

While everyone in the livestream debated the SCP Foundation, the spatial rift abruptly reappeared beside SCP-173. Then a squad in black Space Armor...

An armed squad, equipped to the teeth, flew out of the rift aboard a space shuttle.

The squad members all looked identical, as though they had been cast from the same mold.

And...

Every one of them radiated the hardened air of a veteran.

Without a doubt, they were disciplined soldiers no weaker than the Gluttonous elites. Their armor bore the unmistakable emblem of the [SCP Foundation].

There was no question: this was the [SCP Foundation]'s own armed force!

"Wait! They're clones! What the hell has this Foundation been doing?"

Aboard the Juxia, Ducao stared at the identical Mobile Task Force members on the livestream. He froze, then shouted instinctively:

"And they've mastered Space Armor technology!"

"This..."

"The Foundation has kept itself hidden far too well!"

As the former commander of the Deno Star System, Ducao had been a war fanatic before its destruction.

He had once planned to wage war using clones.

But his research had shown that, no matter how their genes were improved, clones had an insurmountable flaw: they could not live longer than eight years. The flaw seemed like a taboo imposed by the Creator.

It could not be broken, and clones could never incorporate super-soldier genes.

So he had settled for concentrating on training Super Soldiers.

Yet the unassuming SCP Foundation had somehow broken that taboo and successfully developed flawless clones.

Ducao was so stunned he could not speak.

Meanwhile, the SCP Mobile Task Force appeared on the livestream before the eyes of powerful beings across countless races.

[Orochimaru: Clones! They're definitely clones! I wish I could master that technology. Then I wouldn't need vessels to reincarnate.]

[Vinsmoke Judge: The Foundation can mass-produce soldiers too? I never expected that. Could they have overcome the limitation? If they have, that's terrifying!]

[Sanji: Cloning is the most evil technology there is. Is the Foundation made up of devils?]

[Sengoku: I'd wondered how the Foundation recruited members when it had always stayed in the shadows. Now I see—they clone their own!]

[Doflamingo: After all that buildup, they've finally appeared!]

[Monster King Orochi: I wonder if monsters can be cloned. If they can, the Hero Association is finished!]

[Tatsumaki: You gutter-dwelling vermin. Come out if you dare!]

[Child Emperor: Their cloning technology and advanced armor show that the Foundation's technology is every bit as good as Gluttonous's. Gluttonous picked a fight with the wrong people!]

[Kaido: What perfect warriors!]

[...]

Demon Castle.

"Clones?"

Morgana watched the livestream and murmured, "I wonder if the Foundation can clone Super Soldier genes."

"If it can, then..."

Demon Ato thought for a moment, then asked, "My queen, should I capture one for interrogation?"

"If we turn a Foundation task-force member into a demon..."

"We might gain their cloning technology. Then we'd have an endless supply of demon warriors!"

Still watching the stream, Morgana could not help snapping, "Ato, could you use your brain for once?"

"Even just a little!"

She paused, then went on, "If we attack the Foundation's task force, won't we drive the Foundation straight into that bitch Kesha's camp?"

"Ugh!"

Ever since hearing the powerful natives speak in the livestream, Morgana had grown increasingly dissatisfied with demon warriors who knew only how to fight and kill.

She needed to recruit some native thinkers and turn them into demon warriors as soon as possible.

It was not only Ducao and Morgana. Death God Karl, Kesha, and Pan Zhen of Liyang Star were also...

Astonished by the Foundation's cloning technology and technological capabilities.

They all raised their assessment of the Foundation's threat level by more than one notch. More importantly, the Mobile Task Force's earlier actions...

Had convinced them that the Foundation was no benevolent organization.

It was an organization capable of using bizarre anomalies to slaughter its enemies.

Who knew how many bizarre anomalies the [SCP Foundation] possessed besides SCP-173? Anyone it deemed a threat would be in danger.

While every faction in the Super God Crossover Universe grew wary of the [SCP Foundation], the black-armored Mobile Task Force members on the livestream...

Had already begun their containment operation.

These Mobile Task Force members piloted small shuttles up to SCP-173, then expertly began moving the bizarre statue that had just slaughtered...

The Holy Left Wing and thousands of elite Gluttonous soldiers.

Their movements were so practiced they seemed to have rehearsed them countless times. Throughout the operation, three members kept their eyes locked on SCP-173.

The whole process flowed with an almost mesmerizing grace.

It was flawless!

They moved SCP-173 as though it were an ordinary statue rather than something impossibly strange. Their operation could only be called perfect.

When the viewers saw the members of the Mobile Task Force, clad in black Space Armor, carry SCP-173 through the spatial rift, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

At last, it had been contained.

They could hardly help it!

The thing was just too damn bizarre.

No one wanted SCP-173 left out in the open any longer. There was no telling what disaster it might cause.

The entire containment operation had taken the Mobile Task Force less than a minute.

Once SCP-173 had been carried through the rift, the Mobile Task Force member who appeared to be the captain turned to the camera and said slowly, "We'll announce the containment results shortly."

With that, he entered the spatial rift without looking back and disappeared!

As soon as the Mobile Task Force members successfully contained SCP-173, a string of crisp notifications rang through Jiang Chen's mind!

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully containing SCP-173. Rewards: Foundation base ×1 (hidden in the void), C-class researchers ×100, D-class researchers ×200, C-class Mobile Task Force members ×100, D-class Mobile Task Force members ×200!] [Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully containing SCP-173. You have gained the ability to fabricate SCP-173 duplicates and may set additional activation conditions!] [Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully containing SCP-173. Special anomaly reward: lack of presence! You may spend knowledge points to grant it to others!]

Jiang Chen's eyes shone with excitement as he listened to the notifications.

How could they not?

The rewards were enormous. Even setting aside the Foundation base, researchers, and armed personnel, the ability to fabricate SCP-173 duplicates...

And the lack-of-presence ability alone were tremendous gains.

More importantly, he could grant lack of presence to someone else. The first person Jiang Chen thought of was Qilin. If she gained it...

Combined with her extraordinary sniping skills, she would become a true angel of death on the battlefield!

It would also greatly reduce the danger she faced.

Perfect.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath. With a thought, he began playing the video he had prepared for the livestream.

Breaking News: SCP-173 May Be a Duplicate! Little Peanuts Set to Appear Across the Universe!

At Jiang Chen's command, the prerecorded video began playing on the [SCP Foundation] livestream. It opened with the Foundation's distinctive emblem.

As the emblem faded, a slightly thin researcher in a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses appeared at the center of the frame.

Behind him stood a futuristic laboratory!

Then his profile appeared on the left side of the screen!

[Name]: Kuroto! [Position]: Director of the SCP Foundation's First Base! [Security Clearance]: Level Four! [Research Responsibilities]: Containment, monitoring, destruction, and other research concerning SCP-173. [Profile]: Doctor Kuroto has studied SCP-173 for twenty years and is responsible for nearly all research findings concerning it.

As Dr. Kuroto appeared on-screen, everyone in the livestream held their breath.

He was the first [SCP Foundation] member to show his face. More importantly, his profile identified him as an expert on SCP-173.

He might well have been the one who discovered the anomaly's weakness.

And the disciplined Mobile Task Force members from earlier were under his command.

The viewers did not yet understand the [SCP Foundation]'s hierarchy, but they were certain Dr. Kuroto held at least a middle-ranking position...

Possibly even a senior one.

If someone like him had appeared, he was sure to announce something momentous.

As everyone held their breath, Dr. Kuroto took out an authorization document bearing the [SCP Foundation] emblem.

He read aloud, slowly: "SCP-173's escape has shaken the Super God universe!"

"Therefore, after deliberation, the Foundation has granted me, Kuroto, special authorization to announce the containment results!"

He lowered the document and continued, "Before announcing those results, I need to offer a brief explanation!"

"My colleagues at the Foundation and I have found that whenever SCP-173 appears in the main universe..."

"It disrupts the workings of the universe's laws for a period of time."

"The disruption lasts anywhere from five to ten years. Eliminating it would require using another anomaly, but that would very likely have even more serious consequences!"

"We must not do so unless absolutely necessary!"

The powerful beings from across the planets watching the livestream were stunned by Dr. Kuroto's words.

Who could have imagined it?

SCP-173 could disrupt the laws of the universe? If Dr. Kuroto was telling the truth, the damned thing was far too bizarre.

It was unbelievable!

And if every anomalous object caused effects like that...

How was anyone supposed to survive?

What kind of monsters were these?

While the viewers were still reeling, Dr. Kuroto spoke again: "According to our research at the Foundation..."

"Until the universe's laws recover, duplicates of SCP-173 will appear at random throughout the universe."

"Their locations, times of appearance, and even killing rules will vary. But one thing is certain about SCP-173's duplicates..."

"Whatever other rules govern them, they will stop moving as long as they remain in someone's direct line of sight!"
