With a deafening roar, silver-white metal fragments flew in every direction, and the slightly elongated, twisted figure of SCP-096, Shy Guy, appeared in the room.

The moment SCP-096 appeared on-screen, it charged straight at the Gluttonous Warrior. Before the livestream audience's eyes, it tore the warrior to pieces.

Once it had completely killed the Gluttonous Warrior, SCP-096, Shy Guy, curled up in a corner of the room, its dry, stick-thin hands clamped over its face.

As though he were terrified someone might see it.

After SCP-096 had gone completely still, the sound of footsteps marching in unison came through the feed. The viewers didn't need to ask: the base's Special Task Force had arrived to contain SCP-096.

They were about to see how the SCP Foundation would bring SCP-096 under control when the livestream image slowly faded to black.

Clearly, the SCP Foundation didn't want them to know the details of the containment procedure.

[Vegapunk: They finally contained SCP-096! I wish we could've seen exactly how they did it. What a shame!] [Ichigo Kurosaki: The Foundation won't let SCP-096 escape again this time, will they?] [Danzo: As I see it, SCP-096's escape was entirely deliberate on the Foundation's part. They wanted to make a show of their strength.] [Sengoku: I think so too! But it worked. No one should dare invade Earth now.] [Pain: What I want to know is this: what are humans from other worlds to the Foundation?] [Monster King Orochi: Expendable resources, obviously! Just like that Gluttonous Warrior.] [Tatsumaki: Heh... You're scared, aren't you? I think the Foundation won't go after us humans. A monster like you, though? They'll probably want to study you!] [Shirahoshi: What about us fish-men?] [Doflamingo: Pets, probably!] [Monkey D. Dragon: Then how are they any different from those beasts, the Celestial Dragons?] [Doflamingo: There is a difference! You might be able to overthrow the Celestial Dragons. But the Foundation? You'll never overthrow them, no matter what you do!] [...]

While everyone in the livestream debated how the SCP Foundation would treat humans from other worlds, the image changed...

Doctor Bai Ting's graceful figure appeared on-screen.

Everyone's attention snapped to her.

Doctor Bai Ting adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and addressed the camera. "Just now, the anomaly designated SCP-096 was successfully contained by the Mobile Task Force."

“He has been transferred to the base, where Doctor and the Mobile Task Force will keep watch over him.”

Doctor Bai Ting paused, then continued. "To prevent SCP-176 from escaping again, the Foundation has also reviewed and approved the use of SCP-, SCP-, and SCP- to reinforce his seal!"

"That will reduce the chance of SCP-096 escaping to once in a million years."

"Meanwhile, my colleague, a Doctor, successfully used SCP- to capture the Heavenly Principle Will of the Giant Wolf Civilization."

"It is currently being studied at the base."

"Our findings show that the Giant Wolf Civilization's Heavenly Principle Will bears the mark of an ancient race. That race's soul imprint is incompatible with the Super God Universe."

"We therefore conclude that the Giant Wolf Civilization's Heavenly Principle Will did not originate in the Super God Universe."

"It is likely that, like the various Indigenous Worlds, it came from a small world that fell into the Super God Universe under the influence of SCP-."

Bai Ting spoke softly, but her words exploded through everyone's minds like thunder, leaving them utterly stunned.

What did she mean, the Giant Wolf Civilization's Heavenly Principle Will hadn't originated in the Super God Universe?

What did she mean it was like the Indigenous Worlds—a small world that had fallen into the Super God Universe?

Could it be that the worlds they lived in...

Hadn't formed naturally within the Super God Universe at all?

Had they fallen into it because of an anomaly whose details couldn't be made public?

The revelation was staggering.

Everyone sank into doubt. No one could have heard news like that and remained calm.

Not even the people in the livestream, each among the strongest in their own world.

They were no exception.

After hearing Doctor Bai Ting's words, every one of them froze, mouths slightly open. For a long while, none could speak. Inside, they were reeling from...

An unprecedented storm of emotion.

At last, they recovered enough to flood the livestream chat with questions for Doctor Bai Ting. What exactly was going on?

They desperately wanted the truth about their worlds.

[Sengoku: Doctor Bai Ting, tell me what's going on! Are our Indigenous Worlds really small worlds that fell into the Super God Universe?] [Hiruzen Sarutobi: What exactly is going on?] [Aizen: Our world of the dead is actually a small world that fell into the Super God Universe. If that's true, it explains a few things.] [Momo Hinamori: Explains what?] [Child Emperor: I'll explain. In theory, only one set of laws can exist within a universe. But everyone, our worlds have entirely different systems of power!] [That means the laws governing our worlds are different. That should be impossible.] [Vegapunk: Doctor Bai Ting's words have answered a question that's troubled me for the past month. No wonder we can live in the same universe despite operating under different laws.] [We came from different universes to begin with. An anomaly simply caused us to fall into the same one.] [Luffy: I don't get any of this!] [Ash: Me neither!] [...]

As everyone frantically questioned Doctor Bai Ting in the livestream, she glanced over the comments and replied evenly:

"Sorry, everyone. I haven't been authorized to disclose anything more."

"Even within the Foundation, this is classified at the highest level. No one without authorization may reveal it."

She paused, then went on. "If we hadn't concluded that another world is likely to fall into the Super God Universe soon..."

"I wouldn't have been authorized to release even this much information."

"In addition, the Doctor has decided to use SCP- to contain the Giant Wolf Civilization's Heavenly Principle Will on a conceptual level."

"From this moment on, everything concerning the Giant Wolf Civilization will be sealed away."

"Including the technology you received."

"Goodbye, everyone."

With that, Doctor Bai Ting ended the livestream and vanished from the screen.

The livestream was over, but her words sent shockwaves through the Super God Crossover Universe, sparking an unprecedented uproar.

No one escaped it.

Inside the Demon Castle!

Morgana stood motionless, staring at the black screen where the SCP Foundation's livestream had been. Doctor Bai Ting's final words filled her mind...

A new world would soon fall into the Super God Universe.

The impact was overwhelming. In twenty thousand years of roaming the universe, she had never been so shaken.

It wasn't that Morgana lacked resolve.

Doctor Bai Ting's words were simply too earthshaking. Even she couldn't help being stunned into silence.

After a long time, Morgana finally came back to herself.

She turned to Ato. "Ato, do you think Doctor Bai Ting was telling the truth?"

"My queen..."

Before Ato could finish, Morgana continued as if speaking to herself. "I think she was."

"There's no reason to lie about something like this."

"It seems I've been a frog at the bottom of a well."

Morgana paused, then said, "Ato, investigate the experts from the Indigenous Worlds who received the Giant Wolf Civilization's technology."

"What has happened to the Giant Wolf Civilization technology they were given?"

"If it really has vanished, just as Doctor Bai Ting said, send the SCP Foundation a private message!"

"Tell them that I, Morgana, want to go to Earth to study."

"And that I hope they'll grant me permission!"

For twenty thousand years, Morgana had firmly believed that her Order of the Fallen was the universe's future.

To uphold that belief...

She had even turned against her own sister, Holy Kesha.

But now? To hell with the Order of the Fallen. To hell with the Order of Justice. They were all frogs at the bottom of a well, staring at their own tiny patches of sky...

And spinning laughable, childish theories from what little they could see.

Demon Ato had fought across the universe at Morgana's side for tens of thousands of years. He knew her intimately, and he heard the despair in her voice.

He wanted to comfort her, but when he opened his mouth, he had no idea what to say.

In the end, all he could do was sigh.

Then he left the Demon Hall to carry out her orders.

Morgana wasn't the only one. Holy Kesha reacted much the same way. Doctor Bai Ting's words had plunged her into doubt too.

She gave Angel Leng and Zhixin similar orders.

If the Giant Wolf Civilization's technology truly had vanished from existence, she would entrust the Angel Civilization to Heavenly Foundation King He Xi and go to Earth to study.

Once she understood the truth of the world, she would propose a new order.

Compared with Morgana and Holy Kesha, Pan Zhen of Liyang Star was no less shocked.

But after the shock came relief.

Leina had been the first "god" to receive the SCP Foundation's approval to enter Earth. If that gave her a chance to forge ties with the Foundation...

Liyang Star would benefit immensely.

Then he would finally have repaid the Old Sun God for believing in him.

The experts from the various Indigenous Worlds did not leave the SCP Foundation's livestream room when Doctor Bai Ting ended the broadcast...

Instead, they all stayed connected and checked the Giant Wolf Civilization's technology they had just received. Would it really do what Doctor Bai Ting had said?

Would it vanish without a trace?

As it turned out, the technology the Giant Wolf Civilization had transmitted to them...

Had somehow become line after line of meaningless garbled text. They couldn't extract a single piece of information from it.

Worse, as time passed, they realized with horror that everything they knew about the Giant Wolf Civilization was growing hazy. The events had taken place only hours ago...

Yet in their memories, they felt as though they had happened more than ten years earlier.

Before long, they would likely forget everything about the Giant Wolf Civilization. Was this the power of a conceptual-level seal?

[Vegapunk: Everyone, do you still have your technology?] [Orochimaru: It's turned into garbled text. And something's wrong with my memory. I'm gradually forgetting everything about the Giant Wolf Civilization. What about you?] [Sengoku: Same here! At this rate, I'll soon completely forget everything about the civilization on Julang Star.] [Aizen: No wonder the SCP Foundation managed to hide in the shadows all these years without ever being discovered. I'd wager this ability is how they did it.] [Pain: That's my guess too!]
