Is the Indestructible Lizard Some Kind of Big Shot? Even SCP-096 Is Scared of It!

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

A tremendous roar swept through the stars, carrying endless clouds of interstellar Dust in every direction.

The scale was staggering!

Countless viewers shuddered. They knew this was footage of an earlier experiment, and that even if it were happening right now...

The screen would protect them.

Still, they hardly dared breathe. Disbelief filled their vacant eyes.

Some even fainted from fright.

Who could blame them?

Seven or eight planets, each the size of their own world, had collided! A way of fighting like this, power on this scale, a clash at this level...

It had never appeared even in the myths of some worlds.

It was beyond the limits of their imagination. They could not have made it up if they tried.

And it was not over!

SCP-343, God, still felt that the attack would not be enough to kill SCP-096. Before the stunned eyes of the livestream audience...

He spread his left hand and seized the dispersing Dust, forcing it back into a ball the size of a soccer ball! With his right, he lifted the dark-red "planet" behind him, no bigger than a dinner plate, and hurled it forward.

The result: a dazzling flash and another colossal explosion deep in the starry void.

Inside Demon Castle.

Morgana watched with her mouth slightly open, unable to speak for a long while.

"B-b-b-b... bitch!"

At last, she said in a trembling voice, "How is this possible? How did SCP-343, God, do that?"

"I refuse to believe he can command the stars!"

"I don't believe it!"

"This video has to be fabricated!"

Morgana had roamed the universe for tens of thousands of years.

Never once had she heard of a god this powerful arising in this universe. If such a being existed, how could he remain unknown?

No matter how low a profile he kept, his name should have spread across the universe.

Besides, the SCP Foundation was just a native organization of the Red Crow Star System. How could it possibly contain SCP-343, God, if he possessed such power?

So the video had to be fake!

That was it!

It had to be!

Morgana drew a deep breath and ordered, "Ato, put all our computing power to work!"

"Analyze the video. Find me a flaw in it!"

"Now!"

Without waiting for Demon Ato to answer, Morgana turned back to the livestream. She wanted to see whether SCP-096, the Shy Guy, who was supposedly impossible to kill...

Could survive attacks on this scale.

Morgana was not alone. Nearly everyone watching assumed the SCP Foundation had fabricated the video.

Only Holy Kesha, after what had happened to Angel Yan...

Had begun to form a vague understanding of SCP Containment Objects. As unbelievable as she found the footage, she still thought it was probably real.

But she, too, wanted to see whether SCP-096 could be destroyed.

Under everyone's gaze, the interstellar Dust and the dark-red star vanished from the screen.

Then, to their disbelief, SCP-096's long, twisted body reappeared. Once SCP-096 had recovered...

He wasted no time. Wailing piteously, he charged once more at SCP-343, God, who hovered among the stars!

Aboard the Juxia!

"That... still didn't kill him?"

"This is insane!"

Every soldier on the carrier stood frozen, staring at the livestream. For a moment, none of them knew what to say.

It was madness!

That last blow would have reduced Earth to dust, let alone any of them.

Yet SCP-096 had recovered again.

Unbelievable!

The damned thing was absurdly hard to kill.

"This..."

Despair showed on the faces of Ducao and Rose.

It was not that they lacked resolve. The power SCP-343, God, had displayed was simply too vast.

They were nowhere near his level.

He could destroy Earth with ease.

Ducao even suspected...

That power had no place in this universe. The one piece of good news was that the SCP Foundation stood with humanity.

If the SCP Foundation were their enemy, what chance would they have?

They might as well close their eyes and wait to die!

And even that was not the worst part!

Worse still, despite wielding such power, SCP-343, God, had not killed SCP-096, the Shy Guy. He had not even made him give up the pursuit.

And...

SCP-096 had escaped containment. He was out there roaming the world!

At the thought, Ducao and the others sank deeper into despair.

They were exhausted.

If the world was going to end, it might as well hurry up!

As Ducao and Rose despaired, SCP-343 looked at SCP-096 charging toward him again on the livestream, helplessness written across his face.

"Ah, you really are a troublesome one."

Then SCP-343, God, gave a light wave of his hand and, before the bewildered viewers, split into three identical copies!

The move plainly confused SCP-096.

He stared at the three SCP-343s before him, suddenly unable to decide which one to kill first.

At that moment, the SCP-343 in the middle reached out and lightly tapped SCP-096's twisted cheek. SCP-096 instantly turned into a banana.

The SCP-343s on either side threw their fists at the banana SCP-096 had become.

Thud!

With that dull impact, SCP-096 became a two-dimensional image, a sheet of paper without thickness!

"Holy shit!"

In Monster World, Child Emperor could not hold back a curse. "That's a dimensional reduction attack! SCP-343, God, can actually do that?"

"This..."

The S-Class Heroes exchanged stunned looks after hearing Child Emperor's words.

None knew what to say.

Every hero who understood dimensional reduction was certain SCP-096 was finished.

Flattened into a two-dimensional image, SCP-096 could not possibly survive!

But...

That was what reason told them. Deep down, they felt SCP-096 might come back.

Perhaps he still could!

The thing to do now was finish him off! Whether he could recover or not, hit him again first!

As the thought crossed their minds, SCP-343, God, was already doing just that. All three copies unleashed fire, lightning, lasers...

A dizzying barrage of attacks hammered the two-dimensional SCP-096!

The relentless assault lasted more than ten minutes.

Only then did SCP-343, God, stop.

The livestream viewers' eyelids twitched. Every attack from SCP-343, God, had the power to slay a god.

And he had kept up a barrage of different attacks for over ten minutes.

It was unbelievable!

Was SCP-343, God's power limitless? Anyone else would have run out of energy and died many times over by now.

Surely SCP-096 was dead for good this time.

First he had been reduced to two dimensions, then bombarded with god-slaying attacks for over ten minutes. If that had not killed him, nothing could.

Even if he was still alive...

Surely he would need a long time to recover.

But the next moment...

Everyone stared in disbelief. SCP-343, God, had barely stopped attacking when SCP-096's long, twisted figure began to emerge from the two-dimensional image...

He tore his way free!

With a shrill wail at SCP-343, God, he charged at him yet again!

Everyone watching the livestream was dumbstruck!

Damn it!

That monstrous thing... still wasn't dead!

This was beyond absurd!

Even SCP-096 Backed Down from the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile!

The livestream audience watched in shock, eager to see the next phase of the fight. But the video abruptly faded to black. Then, as everyone looked on in confusion...

Kuroto's slightly gaunt figure appeared before them. "The next part of the battle between SCP-343, God, and SCP-096 involves another Containment Object."

"That Containment Object's danger classification is Taumiel Class!"
