With a deafening crash, silver-white metal fragments scattered across the room. SCP-096, Shy Guy, emerged from the wreckage, its lanky, twisted figure coming into view.

The moment SCP-096 appeared on-screen, it charged straight at the Gluttonous Warrior without hesitation. Before the livestream audience, it tore him to pieces.

Once the Gluttonous Warrior was dead, SCP-096 curled up in a corner of the room, its dry, sticklike hands clamped tightly over its face.

As though it were terrified someone might see it.

After SCP-096 fell completely still, the sound of marching footsteps came through the feed. The viewers needed no explanation: the base's Special Task Force had arrived to contain SCP-096.

But just as they waited to see how the SCP Foundation would bring it under control, the livestream slowly faded to black.

Clearly, the SCP Foundation did not want them to know the details of the containment procedure.

[Vegapunk: They finally contained SCP-096! I wish we could've seen how they did it. What a shame!]

[Ichigo Kurosaki: The Foundation won't let SCP-096 escape again this time, right?]

[Danzo: As far as I'm concerned, the Foundation let SCP-096 escape on purpose. They wanted to make a show of force.]

[Sengoku: I think so too! It worked, though. No one should dare invade Earth now.]

[Pain: I want to know what humans from other worlds count as in the Foundation's eyes.]

[Monster King Orochi: Experimental fodder, obviously! Just like that Gluttonous Warrior.]

[Tatsumaki: Heh... You're scared, aren't you? I don't think the Foundation would go after us humans. Monsters like you, though? They'd probably want to study you!]

[Shirahoshi: What about the Fish-Man Race?]

[Doflamingo: Pets, probably!]

[Monkey D. Dragon: How is that any different from those Celestial Dragon beasts?]

[Doflamingo: There's a difference! You might be able to overthrow the Celestial Dragons. But the Foundation? You'll never overthrow them, no matter what you do!]

[...]

As the livestream audience 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 Containment Object designated SCP-096 was successfully contained by the Mobile Task Force."

"It has been transferred to a base, where a doctor and the Mobile Task Force will keep watch over it."

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

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

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

"It is currently being studied at the base."

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

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

"Like the various Indigenous Worlds, it may belong to a small world that fell into the Super God Universe under the influence of SCP-."

Bai Ting spoke softly, but her words struck like thunder inside every viewer's head. Everyone was stunned.

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

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

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

Had not arisen naturally within the Super God Universe at all?

Had they fallen into it because of a Containment Object whose details could not be disclosed?

The revelation was staggering.

Everyone fell into deep self-doubt. How could anyone stay calm after hearing something like that?

Not even the people in the livestream, powerful figures at the pinnacle of their respective worlds, were exceptions.

Doctor Bai Ting's words left every one of them rooted to the spot, mouths slightly open. For a long while, none could speak. Inside, they were gripped by...

A turmoil unlike anything they had ever known.

Only after a long time did they recover enough to flood the livestream with comments, demanding that Doctor Bai Ting explain what was going on.

They desperately wanted to know 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 on earth is going on?]

[Aizen: Our Soul Reaper world actually fell into the Super God Universe. If that's true, it explains a few things.]

[Momo Hinamori: What does it explain?]

[Child Emperor: I'll explain! In theory, only one set of laws should exist within a universe. But everyone, the power systems in our worlds are completely different!]

[That means the laws governing our worlds are different. It should be impossible.]

[Vegapunk: Doctor Bai Ting's words have answered the question that's troubled me for the past month. No wonder we can live in the same universe despite being governed by different laws.]

[We came from different universes to begin with. A certain Containment Object simply caused us to fall into the same one.]

[Luffy: I don't get any of this!]

[Ash: Me neither!]

[...]

As the audience continued to press Doctor Bai Ting for answers, she glanced over the comments and replied evenly:

"I'm sorry, everyone. I haven't been authorized to disclose any further information."

"Even within the Foundation, this is classified at the highest level. No one outside the authorized personnel may reveal it."

Doctor Bai Ting paused, then went on. "If our projections didn't indicate that a New World would soon fall into the Super God Universe..."

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

"Also, a doctor has decided to use SCP- to contain the Giant Wolf Civilization's Heavenly Principle Will at the conceptual level."

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

"Including the technology you received."

"Goodbye, everyone."

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

The livestream was over, but Doctor Bai Ting's words sent shock waves through the Super God Crossover Universe, setting off an unprecedented uproar.

No one escaped it.

Inside the Demon Castle!

Morgana stood motionless, staring at the now-black SCP Foundation livestream. Doctor Bai Ting's parting words echoed through her mind...

A New World would soon fall into the Super God Universe.

The news hit her hard. In twenty thousand years of ranging across the universe, she had never lost her composure quite like this.

It was not that Morgana lacked resolve.

Doctor Bai Ting's words were simply too shocking. Even Morgana could only stand there, too stunned to speak.

At last, Morgana recovered.

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'd be no reason to lie about this!"

"It seems I really was a frog at the bottom of a well."

She paused, then continued. "Ato, investigate those powerful figures from the Indigenous Worlds who received the Giant Wolf Civilization's technology."

"Find out what happened to it."

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

"Tell them 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 her Order of the Fallen was the universe's future.

To put her ideals into practice,

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, looking up at their own tiny patch of sky...

And building laughably childish theories from it.

Demon Ato had followed Morgana through tens of thousands of years of war across the universe. He knew her well enough to hear 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 was not alone. Holy Kesha reacted much the same way, sinking into deep self-doubt after hearing Doctor Bai Ting's words.

She gave Angel Leng and Zhixin similar orders.

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

Once she understood the truth about the universe, she would propose a new order of her own.

Pan Zhen of Liyang Star was just as shaken as Morgana and Holy Kesha.

But once the shock passed, what he felt most was relief.

Leina was the first "god" to receive the SCP Foundation's permission to enter Earth. If she could use that advantage to establish ties with the Foundation,

Liyang Star would benefit beyond measure.

Then he could say he had repaid the Old Sun God for recognizing his worth.

In the SCP Foundation's livestream, the powerful figures from the various Indigenous Worlds did not leave when Doctor Bai Ting ended the broadcast.

Without a word of agreement between them, they stayed and checked whether the Giant Wolf Civilization's technology they had just received would, as she had said...

Vanish without a trace!

Sure enough, the technology the Giant Wolf Civilization had transmitted to them...

Had somehow turned into line after line of meaningless gibberish. They could extract no information from it.

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

Yet in their memories, they felt more than a decade old.

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

[Vegapunk: Everyone, do you still have the technology?]

[Orochimaru: It's turned to gibberish. And something's wrong with my memory. I'm gradually forgetting everything about the Giant Wolf Civilization. What about you?]

[Sengoku: Same here! I'll probably forget the Julang Star civilization entirely before long.]

[Aizen: No wonder the SCP Foundation managed to stay hidden in the shadows for so many years without anyone noticing. They must have relied on this ability.]

[Pain: That's my guess too!]
