"The small fry can apply to join Ato's chat group. If you behave yourselves, I'll personally invite you into my Demon Chat Group."

As soon as Morgana finished speaking, applications to join the Demon Chat Group began pouring in at an exponential rate!

Ding! Doflamingo, a Shichibukai from the Pirate World, has applied to join. Accept? Ding! Monster King Orochi from the Monster World has applied to join. Accept? Ding! Danzo of the Hidden Leaf Village in the Ninja World has applied to join. Accept? Ding! ... ...

Morgana looked over the applications, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on her face. She promptly accepted them.

In Meleon Celestial City, within the Angel Nebula!

Holy Kesha also began her own livestream. As she created a chat group, she addressed the camera. "An era of great change has begun in the Super God Universe."

"Morgana is bound to unleash bloodshed across the native planets."

"Native powerhouses who seek the protection of Justice may join my Angel Chat Group."

Holy Kesha paused, then continued. "As for the requirements? Like Morgana's group, you need at least the strength of a Shichibukai from the Pirate World."

"Everyone else can apply to join the other Angel warriors' chat groups."

"That's all."

Once Holy Kesha made her announcement, application alerts rang out right on cue.

Ding! Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors from the Pirate World, has applied to join the Angel Chat Group. Accept? Ding! Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of the Ninja Planet, has applied to join the Angel Chat Group. Accept? Ding! Tatsumaki, an S-Class Hero from the Monster World, has applied to join the Angel Chat Group. Accept? Ding! ... ...

It wasn't just Holy Kesha and Morgana creating chat groups. Pan Zhen of the Sun Galaxy, Ducao aboard the Juxia, Gluttonous King Shi...

Even natives such as Aizen, Kuroto, and Black Zetsu began creating their own chat groups.

They hoped to spread their beliefs or achieve other goals through them.

As group after group sprang up, countless powerhouses, warriors, and ordinary people joined whichever suited their needs.

Of course, even more people held back to watch.

At that moment, the entire Super God Crossover Universe entered an era of profound change.

Everyone hoped to build up their strength through the chat groups so they could survive the coming bloodshed that would sweep across the heavens.

Jiang Chen watched the Super God Crossover Universe descend into chaos.

Even with the willpower he had gained from living two lives, he couldn't help feeling stunned. But once the shock passed, he made a startling discovery: the Special Skill he had just acquired, Presence Concealment...

It allowed him to slip into any chat group without anyone noticing.

That unexpected benefit went far beyond what Jiang Chen had anticipated.

So he quietly joined the Demon Chat Group, Angel Chat Group, Sun Chat Group, Yanhuang Chat Group, and several other major groups.

Then he began lurking!

Watching the messages fly by, Jiang Chen's lips curved into a charming smile. He murmured, "Since things are already this lively..."

"Why not stoke the fire?"

"It's your turn to appear, Shy Guy! Set the heavens ablaze."

While the Super God Crossover Universe was still gripped by panic over the Myriad Races Livestream update, the SCP Foundation's unmistakable emblem...

Suddenly appeared on every livestream screen.

Then a line of bold, blood-red text slowly emerged: [For unknown reasons, the Containment Objects have entered a state of unprecedented agitation!]

[Combined with the Gluttonous Legion's invasion, this has caused Containment Object SCP-096 to escape containment.]

[Due to the extreme danger posed by SCP-096, the Foundation is mobilizing personnel to contain it, but the process will take at least forty-eight hours!]

[To prevent unnecessary casualties,]

[The Foundation has therefore decided, after careful review, to make an authorized disclosure of SCP-096's detailed file on the Foundation Livestream. You must watch it!]

[Otherwise, you will regret it when it is too late.]

Everyone in the livestream froze at the sudden banner. It had only been a few hours!

Yet another bizarre Containment Object had escaped.

Both its designation and the Foundation's warning made one thing clear: the Containment Object numbered SCP-096...

Was far more dangerous than SCP-173, which had slaughtered Holy Left Wing Yan and over a thousand elite Gluttonous soldiers.

Having seen how terrifying SCP-173 was, the viewers dared not take this lightly. Even Holy Kesha, Morgana, and Death God Karl...

Immediately set aside their work building chat groups and entered the Foundation Livestream to watch the video.

They were afraid of missing a single detail...

And suffering consequences they could not control.

[Sengoku: What a disastrous time. First the livestream adds chat groups, and now another of the Foundation's bizarre Containment Objects has escaped. Sigh.]

[Aizen: The Foundation's Containment Objects are unusually active? Could it be connected to the Myriad Races Livestream? Or is the Myriad Races Livestream itself a Containment Object?]

[Orochimaru: Your analysis makes sense, Aizen. I've had the same thought. Other than a Containment Object, I can't imagine what power could create something as miraculous as the Myriad Races Livestream.]

[Miko: @Aizen, the technique you taught me really works against Evil Spirits. Thank you, mister!]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: I hope Konoha makes it through this safely.]

[Monster King Orochi: I don't know what SCP-096 is, but I have a feeling it's far more dangerous than SCP-173, Little Peanut!]

[Tatsumaki: Monster King Orochi? Don't worry. It'll come for you soon enough!]

[Monster King Orochi: Are you stupid? We may be enemies, but we live on the same planet. Do you really want a Containment Object to appear here?]

[Tatsumaki: ...]

[...]

As the viewers debated what kind of Containment Object SCP-096 might be, the Foundation's emblem slowly faded from the screen...

And an extremely blurry photograph took its place!

In it, a gaunt, indistinct humanoid with arms and legs nearly one and a half times longer than an ordinary person's crouched in a corner, covering its face.

Was it afraid of something?

Though the photograph was terribly blurred, everyone felt the same indescribable shudder rise from the depths of their souls.

It was the feeling of prey facing its natural predator!

As that inexplicable fear gripped them, a line of small text appeared in the empty space to the left of the image.

[Containment Object]: Shy Guy! [Item Number]: SCP-096! [Object Class]: Euclid! [Physical Description]: SCP-096, Shy Guy, appears to be a humanoid creature. He is taller than an ordinary person and appears to have no muscle anywhere on his body. Judging by his overall weight, he would be considered severely malnourished by human standards. Yet every joint in his body can bend to an unimaginable degree. His eyes are extremely hollow, and it is unclear whether they can receive visual signals. Brainwave testing has yet to detect normal brain function in SCP-096. It is therefore inferred that he has no capacity for thought.

Reading this, everyone instinctively assumed that SCP-096, Shy Guy, was like SCP-173, Little Peanut...

A Containment Object with an obvious weakness.

As long as they remembered Shy Guy's weakness, they could subdue him and wait for the SCP Foundation to recover him.

But the text that appeared next left everyone stunned.

[Experimental Findings]: Shy Guy is usually extremely docile. He spends most of his time pacing beside a wall. However, when someone sees his face—whether directly, through a video, or even in a photograph—he enters a state of extreme distress. Shy Guy covers his face with his hands and begins screaming, crying, and making unintelligible sounds. Approximately one to two minutes after his face is seen, Shy Guy charges toward the person or other living creature who saw it. His speed varies from 35 km/h to an unspecified upper limit, seemingly depending on the distance to SCP-096-1. At this point, no known material or method can stop SCP-096's advance. The actual location of SCP-096-1 appears to have no effect on SCP-096's response. He seems innately able to sense where SCP-096-1 is.

When this information appeared, everyone watching was dumbfounded.

They never would have imagined it!

SCP-173, Little Peanut, killed anyone who looked away. SCP-096, Shy Guy, was the exact opposite: he killed anyone who saw his face.

And this humanoid, who apparently couldn't even think...

Would fall into extreme distress simply because someone saw his face. Worse, he could automatically track down whoever had seen it.

No wonder the SCP Foundation said Containment Objects were "things" science could not explain.

This truly lay beyond the bounds of scientific understanding.

Wait!

At that moment, everyone watching realized something horrifying.

If someone had a photograph of Shy Guy's face, couldn't they simply broadcast it on a livestream?

Then everyone who watched would die at Shy Guy's hands.

No wonder the SCP Foundation took this escape so seriously. If it was handled badly, the dead would number far more than...

One Holy Left Wing and over a thousand elite Gluttonous soldiers.

People would die planet by planet. SCP-096 might even slaughter the entire universe.

Damn it!

This was serious. Catastrophically serious!

Kuroto: Authorized Release of the Video Recording SCP-096's Interaction Experiment with SCP-343, God!

The powerhouses from the various native planets fell silent when they realized how dire the situation was.

They might have been able to exploit SCP-173, Little Peanut's "weakness" to fight him. Against SCP-096, Shy Guy, they had no solution at all.

The safest course was to shut down every means of communication and block every line of sight until the SCP Foundation recaptured Shy Guy.

But SCP-173, Little Peanut's duplicates might appear beside them at any moment. Looking at one meant death; failing to look meant having their necks twisted through some conceptual power, just like Holy Left Wing Yan.

They were completely trapped!

It was an inescapable, deadly loop!

[Sengoku: We should trust the SCP Foundation. Since they successfully contained SCP-096 before, they must have a way to deal with him!]
