Super God: The Foundation, Starting by Inventing SCPs

SCP-096 had slaughtered 670 million intelligent beings in just five or six hours.

The result had surpassed the limits of everyone's imagination.

It was terrifying!

If a single SCP-096 was this terrifying, the power of the SCP Foundation, which could contain it and so many other anomalies, had to be even more unfathomable.

None of them could understand.

How had an organization native to Earth grown into such a colossus?

Was the SCP Foundation really native to Earth?

As the viewers in the livestream struggled to make sense of it, SCP-096 found no targets left on Julang Star. Without the slightest hesitation...

It kicked off the ground and streaked away from Julang Star, heading into space to hunt down the Julang Clan leaders who had fled across the universe!

Those leaders had thought that escaping their homeworld might not shake SCP-096's pursuit entirely.

But surely they could survive for twenty-four hours.

Then they saw it on the livestream: SCP-096 hurtling into space at speeds far beyond light, coming after them. Despair swallowed them whole.

None of them said it aloud, but they understood.

They were doomed.

In their despair, many Julang Clan leaders killed themselves. More, however, clung to the hope that they might get lucky...

And kept fleeing for their lives.

They hoped a miracle would happen.

But running only prolonged their terror by a few minutes. It changed nothing!

After leaving Julang Star, SCP-096 spent another three hours crossing more than a hundred star systems before finally killing every last member of the Julang Clan.

The final death toll on Julang Star stood at 710 million.

From that day on, the Julang Clan ceased to exist in the Super God Universe!

With every target dead, SCP-096, the Shy Guy, curled up quietly in a corner of an asteroid. Apart from the occasional burst of sobbing...

It did not move.

Only then did the viewers in the livestream breathe a sigh of relief.

It's finally over.

The Shy Guy's hunt was finally over.

Then another question rose in their minds: how was the SCP Foundation going to contain something as terrifying as SCP-096?

The SCP Foundation's strength might be unfathomable.

But containing the Shy Guy would surely come at a price.

What they did not know was that even the most terrifying anomaly could be contained by the simplest method!

Time passed, second by second. The powerful figures watching from their respective worlds held their breath as they stared at the Shy Guy on-screen...

Afraid it might suddenly spring up and kill again.

But after slaughtering more than 700 million lives on Julang Star, SCP-096 had settled down completely. It still let out a whimper now and then.

Yet it never moved again, remaining curled up on the asteroid the whole time.

When the twenty-four-hour countdown ended, everyone breathed easier. It's finally over. Now we just have to wait for the SCP Foundation to retrieve SCP-096.

They were also curious how the SCP Foundation would contain it.

After all, they had all seen SCP-096's terrifying capacity for destruction.

Even if they trusted the SCP Foundation, they did not believe it could contain SCP-096 as easily as it had contained SCP-173, Little Peanut...

At that moment, the livestream changed. The empty expanse of space gave way to a Gluttonous Battleship. Then, under the viewers' puzzled gazes...

A passage through the void appeared without warning, and a silver-white aerospace fighter flew out.

At the same time, information about the fighter appeared on-screen!

[Name]: White Emperor Fighter!

[Model]: A01 Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aerospace Fighter.

[Affiliation]: A-designated Air Squadron!

[Developer]: Ye!

[Equipment]: Reality Stabilizer, shields, Quantum Communication Technology, Spatial Jump, radar, stealth systems...

[Description]: The Foundation's main aerospace fighter model, designed for operations in space and specializing in capture missions.

The White Emperor Fighter's arrival did not alert the Gluttonous Battleship.

It was as though every detection system aboard the battleship had failed in its presence. None could spot the fighter right beside them.

The White Emperor Fighter breached the battleship's armor and extended a rope-like weapon inside...

Was it searching for something?

The livestream did not show the interior, so the viewers had no idea what was happening. They could only make out flashes of weapons fire within the ship!

A few seconds later, the flashes stopped, and the White Emperor Fighter began reeling in its silver-white chain.

When the chain came back out, the viewers stared in shock. Bound to its end were more than a dozen fully armed Gluttonous elite warriors...

But they could no longer move.

They could only watch helplessly as the White Emperor Fighter dragged them toward the passage through the void. Soon, fighter and captives vanished into it.

The viewers watched, bewildered.

What was the SCP Foundation doing?

Hadn't it said it would retrieve the Shy Guy when the countdown ended? Why had it sent the White Emperor Fighter to capture people from a Gluttonous Battleship?

Unless...

A horrifying possibility flashed through their minds like lightning!

Surely not!

The SCP Foundation could not be that ruthless!

[Sengoku: I hope I'm wrong. If I'm right, the SCP Foundation is far too ruthless!]

[Garp: What's your guess? Let's hear it!]

[Sengoku: @Garp, check your private messages!]

[Garp: This... No way. Even the SCP Foundation couldn't do something like that, no matter how ruthless it is.]

[Danzo: If it were me, I'd use the same method to retrieve SCP-096. It's the best solution I can think of right now.]

[Pain: This makes one thing clear: in the SCP Foundation's eyes, no one except Earthlings counts as a person.]

[Monkey D. Dragon: That sounds a bit like those damned Celestial Dragons!]

[Miko: What are you talking about? I don't understand!]

[Ash: Me neither!]

[Aizen: @Miko, @Ash, you don't need to understand. It would be best if you never did. You should both close the livestream and log off now.]

[Miko: Okay, Master! I'm logging off!]

[Ash: Okay, mister! I'm going to train my Pokémon. Just wait—once I've trained one, I'll send it to you!]

[Aizen: I'm looking forward to meeting a Pokémon soon!]

[Momo Hinamori: Captain, you're as kind as ever.]

[...]

After Miko and Ash followed Aizen's advice and left the livestream, the image changed again...

This time, it showed a silver-white room that looked straight out of science fiction.

An elite Gluttonous warrior was bound to a silver-white chair in the center. The warrior seemed terrified and struggled violently, but no matter how hard they fought...

They could not break free of the restraints.

Notably, a device held the warrior's eyelids open, making it impossible to shut their eyes!

The viewers' suspicions were confirmed.

The SCP Foundation really intended to contain SCP-096 this way. It was efficient, but far too cruel.

Of course...

Everyone watching was a powerful figure in their own world. They were hardened enough that this alone could hardly shake them. What disturbed them was what it revealed about how the SCP Foundation operated.

They had hoped the SCP Foundation would retrieve SCP-096 by some other means.

That would at least have shown it possessed a basic sense of conscience. Now they realized they had been wrong.

The SCP Foundation might be Earth's protector.

But to other species, it was an evil organization with no limits. In its eyes, they were nothing more than expendable resources.

If they ever encountered an organization so powerful and so utterly without limits toward other species, they would be in trouble.

Just then, a silver-white television slowly descended from above and stopped in front of the Gluttonous warrior. A few pixels appeared on its screen!

The warrior had watched SCP-096 slaughter Julang Star through the livestream.

There was no photograph of SCP-096 on the television.

But the warrior knew what awaited them if they looked. They struggled desperately and tried to close their eyes, but the device held their eyelids open.

No matter how they fought, it was useless.

They could only stare at the handful of flickering pixels on the screen.

The moment the warrior saw them, SCP-096, hundreds of millions of light-years away, let out a piercing wail...

It kicked off the asteroid and shot away in a blur, heading straight for the warrior.

In the blink of an eye, it surpassed the speed of light—and its speed kept climbing exponentially!

The viewers had seen this before, yet it still sent chills down their spines. When they watched SCP-096 smash a black hole apart at ten billion times the speed of light...

Despair washed over them.

It was too powerful!

Powerful beyond imagination!

They could not summon even the slightest thought of resistance!

Roughly ten minutes later, rhythmic impacts sounded through the livestream. SCP-096 had reached this SCP Foundation base from hundreds of millions of light-years away!

The impacts drew closer, like the footsteps of death...

Each one struck deep into the viewers' souls.

The Gluttonous warrior was terrified beyond words. They knew that even if they broke free, they could never escape SCP-096.

After all, they had watched it tear through every living being on Julang Star.

Still, the instinct to survive drove them to struggle with all their strength.

Boom...
