Super God: The Foundation, Starting by Inventing SCPs

"Impossible to release publicly!"

Doctor Kuroto paused, then continued, “So that's as much of the interaction experiment footage as we can show.”

"Of course, the video is incomplete."

“I'm sure you've all seen just how dangerous SCP-096, the Shy Guy, is.”

"So, for this containment operation,"

“The Foundation will use aggressive containment measures—and conduct an interaction experiment along the way!”

The powerful figures from across the worlds watching the livestream fell silent at Doctor Kuroto's words. They still hadn't recovered from the shock of the battle they had just witnessed.

When they thought of SCP-343, God, and that inconceivable power—especially the sight of him wielding planets—their mouths twitched.

And yet even he had failed to kill SCP-096!

They now fully understood how dangerous SCP-096 was. They could understand the Foundation's decision to use aggressive measures to contain it.

That much made sense.

What they couldn't understand was why the SCP Foundation insisted on conducting some damned interaction experiment during the containment operation.

What if something went wrong?

Wouldn't that be a disaster?

[Sengoku: Are the Foundation's decision-makers insane? They're conducting an interaction experiment in the middle of a containment operation!]

[Orochimaru: I thought I was crazy enough. Compared to the Foundation, I'm an amateur!]

[Kenpachi Zaraki: I don't care about the Foundation's decision. I just want to know who won in the end: SCP-343, God, or SCP-096?]

[Ikkaku Madarame: Captain, obviously SCP-096! If SCP-343, God, had won, SCP-096 would've been destroyed. How could it have escaped containment after that?]

[Katakuri: It might have been a draw. Didn't Doctor Kuroto say the rest of the video involved a Thaumiel-class Containment Object? That object probably stopped their fight.]

[Miko: If Mr. Charlotte's analysis is right, does that mean the Foundation has a way to stop SCP-096 from hunting people down?]

[Vegapunk: In theory, yes! But they won't use it.]

[Miko: Why?]

[Danzo: Because they don't qualify! They're not worth the risk to the Foundation. Understand?]

[...]

As the powerful figures from the other worlds pooled their knowledge in the livestream chat, analyzing the situation from the information the SCP Foundation had released...

Aboard the Juxia, Admiral Ducao and the senior military officers all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the messages.

"At least there's a way to stop it!"

Ducao, drenched in sweat, slumped in his seat and muttered, "Otherwise, if SCP-096 showed up on Earth..."

"We'd be finished!"

Earth was the SCP Foundation's home base. If the worst happened, Ducao believed the Foundation's decision-makers would stop SCP-096 at any cost.

Of course, Ducao silently prayed it wouldn't come to that. Otherwise, even if the Foundation had a countermeasure, Earth would suffer terrible losses!

Just then, a young man in a white lab coat appeared on the livestream. He walked up to Doctor Kuroto and handed him a document bearing the Foundation's insignia.

Doctor Kuroto took the document and read it carefully for a moment. Then he told the viewers, "Everyone, during this escape incident involving SCP-096..."

"SCP-096 damaged part of the site's containment facilities, which may lead to SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, escaping."

Doctor Kuroto paused before continuing. "Therefore, after review, the Foundation has specially authorized the early release of a record of an interaction experiment between SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, and SCP-096, the Shy Guy!"

"So you can prepare yourselves!"

"There's no video, so we can only release the written record!"

As soon as Doctor Kuroto finished speaking, the livestream display changed. A document titled Interaction Experiment Record: SCP-096 and SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile appeared before everyone!

[Approval granted: The doctor in charge of the site is authorized to conduct an interaction experiment between SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, and SCP-096.]

[Note: The experiment must take place within SCP's effective range.]

[Procedure: Place SCP-096, the Shy Guy, inside a sealed container and transport it to the designated room at the site. Clear the surrounding area, then open the container.]

[Record: After personnel withdrew, SCP-096, the Shy Guy, and SCP-682 both emitted sustained screams. They appeared to fight, though the details of the battle are unknown.]

[Result: SCP-096, the Shy Guy, moved away from SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, in a state of extreme distress.]

[SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, remained at the northernmost end of the room. Over 85% of its body mass had disappeared, but it was still alive.]

[When SCP-096's face was subsequently exposed to SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, SCP-096 did not pursue SCP-682.]

[Instead, it screamed and scratched at its own face.]

The viewers froze when they read the report. Before seeing it, they had expected another earth-shattering battle.

Never had they imagined this outcome!

There hadn't just been no climactic showdown!

SCP-096, which had relentlessly hunted SCP-343, God, had actually backed down. Even after SCP-682 saw its face, it didn't pursue the creature. It scratched at its own face instead.

It had clearly lost its nerve!

What the hell?

Just what was SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, that it could make SCP-096 back down?

Was it SCP-096's boss or something?

No one could blame them for thinking that. The previous video had shown exactly what SCP-096's relentless pursuit meant!

Even SCP-343, God, who could toss planets around like marbles, had been helpless against it. Yet SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, had somehow made SCP-096...

Too afraid to pursue it.

If that didn't make SCP-682 the boss, what did?

[Zoro: What exactly is SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile? Didn't they say SCP-096 would hunt its targets relentlessly?]

[Robin: Whatever it is, one thing's beyond doubt: SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, is far stronger than SCP-343, God!]

[Miko: I don't know why, but thinking about SCP-096, the Shy Guy, scratching at its own face because it was too scared to chase SCP-682 makes me want to laugh!]

[Naruto: It doesn't seriously think scratching its face into a different shape means no one's seen its face, does it?]

[Hinata: Hearing Naruto say that, I suddenly think SCP-096 is kind of cute!]

[Sengoku: ...]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: ...]

[Child Emperor: ...]

[Killer Bee: The young lady of the Hyuga clan is that fearless? She thinks an anomaly is cute! No wonder she's the heir to Konoha's foremost clan. I wouldn't mess with her!]

[Tatsumaki: Hinata, you're my hero from now on!]

[Miko: I wish I had Hinata's attitude. Then I wouldn't have to worry about Evil Spirits.]

[Ichigo Kurosaki: That girl's something else!]

[...]

Inside Juxia.

Ducao and the others stared at one another, at a loss for words.

"What the hell is SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile?"

They were all numb with shock!

SCP-343, God, could hurl planets at people like marbles, yet even he hadn't made SCP-096, the Shy Guy, back down.

But SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, had driven it to scratch its own face.

The SCP Foundation had yet to release any information on SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile.

But there was no doubt...

SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, was an anomaly even more powerful than SCP-343, God.

And since SCP-096 had damaged the containment site's facilities during its escape, there was a strong chance SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, might escape as well.

If the interaction experiment record they had just seen was genuine... what was the point of the Juxia even trying to fight?

They might as well give up.

They couldn't help it!

The gap between them and these so-called anomalies was simply too vast. Against the Gluttonous army, Ducao knew Yanhuang was badly outmatched.

But with Super Soldiers, they still had a chance to fight back.

Against these strange, unfathomable Containment Objects, though, even a battle-hardened maniac like Ducao couldn't muster the slightest will to fight.

Earth was the SCP Foundation's homeworld anyway. Surely they wouldn't stand by and do nothing.

To hell with it!

He was giving up!

While Ducao surrendered to the Containment Objects' overwhelming power, Jiang Chen sat in his classroom, watching the livestream as he opened his system shop.

He spent ten million popularization points on an item called the Heavenly Principle Consciousness Communicator!

[Name]: Heavenly Principle Consciousness Communicator!

[Type]: Single-use Containment Object (basic replica).

[Class]: Euclid!

[Function]: Allows one exchange with the Heavenly Principle Consciousness of a primitive civilization, limited to a single sentence or image.

[Description]: After the exchange, your sentence or image can be transmitted instantly into the minds of every intelligent being in that world.

Jiang Chen looked at the Heavenly Principle Consciousness Communicator, a charming smile appearing on his face.

But his eyes were full of cold killing intent.

Through the livestream, he had already told everyone that Earth was SCP Foundation territory. No other faction would be allowed to lay a finger on it.

He had also used SCP-173, Little Peanut, to slaughter thousands of elite Gluttonous soldiers as a warning.

But they hadn't withdrawn. Instead, they continued lurking near Pluto, waiting for the rest of their army to arrive so they could...

Launch a lightning assault on Earth.

Did they really think I was that easy to push around?

If that's how it is, it's time to show them what the SCP Foundation can do.

They don't want to leave?

Then they won't.

Every last one of them can stay here!
