Super God: The Foundation, Starting with Fabricating SCPs

Even though it stood right before her, even though it was staring at her with those eerie stone eyes, even though she knew it would snap her neck the moment she blinked...

If she failed to devote all her attention to it, she would simply overlook its existence.

In nearly seven thousand years of life, Angel Yan had never encountered anything so bizarre. The feeling was unbearable.

When Angel Yan realized she had to devote all her computing power just to keep herself from overlooking SCP-173, she decided to request remote assistance from Meleon Celestial City!

[Attempting to contact Queen Kaisa... Establishing Dark Data communications... Warning: Dark Data communications are being disrupted by unknown energy...]

[Warning: Unable to connect Dark Data communications. Attempting to analyze unknown energy...]

[Warning: Analysis failed!]

[Continuing analysis... Warning... Unknown energy does not exist in the Known Universe database...]

[...]

As Angel Yan tried to establish a Dark Data link with Queen Kaisa, alarms sounded in her mind one after another, like a rising tide...

That thing can block Dark Energy communications?

How...

At the unending warnings in her mind, shock finally broke across Angel Yan's stunning face.

Dark Energy, after all, provided a channel built on Dark Data.

Even the Angel Civilization could only communicate across long distances by using Queen Kaisa and her Fourth-Generation Divine Body as an information relay.

Yet a statue made of concrete and rebar had forcibly blocked Dark Energy communications.

It was almost impossible to believe.

If SCP-173 could block Dark Energy communications, did that mean placing it near Queen Kaisa would cut every warrior in the Angel Civilization...

Off from Queen Kaisa?

Then no Angel Warrior would be able to access the Holy Knowledge Treasury or obtain authorization for God-Slaying Weapons in time, much less launch a Holy Judgment.

Without the Holy Knowledge Treasury or God-Slaying Weapons, an Angel Warrior's combat power would be little better than that of an ordinary divine body.

Their fighting strength would plummet.

Angel Warriors could range across the universe and even keep the Demon Civilization on the defensive largely because Dark Energy communications let them promptly obtain access to the Holy Knowledge Treasury and authorization for God-Slaying Weapons.

SCP-173 had to be destroyed.

It could never fall into Morgana's hands. Otherwise, even if the Angel Civilization won the next war against the Demons, the price would be devastating.

With that thought, Angel Yan summoned her Flame Blade before the stunned eyes of the livestream's viewers. Then, without hesitation, she aimed at SCP-173...

And launched a God-Slaying Grade strike: Flame Judgment.

An ordinary Angel Warrior needed authorization from Queen Kaisa through Dark Energy communications to launch a God-Slaying Grade strike.

But Angel Yan was Kaisa's Holy Left Wing.

Her authority ranked below only the Angel Queen Kaisa and the Heavenly Foundation King He Xi, so she could launch a God-Slaying Grade strike without requesting permission.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Angel Yan would still report to Queen Kaisa before launching one.

But with Dark Energy communications cut off, she could only act without asking.

At Angel Yan's command, orange-red flames suddenly erupted from the Flame Blade in her hand. Terrifying heat surged in every direction...

The Gluttonous Battleship's futuristic corridor melted like wax the instant the flames touched it.

At that temperature, SCP-173's concrete-and-rebar body should have melted at once. But not only did SCP-173 remain intact...

Even the Krylon spray paint on its body was completely unaffected.

The wariness in Angel Yan's eyes deepened. She began pouring the maximum amount of energy into her Flame Blade. Fortunately, SCP-173 could not move while under direct observation.

That gave Angel Yan enough time to prepare.

[God-Slaying Grade strike: Flame Judgment preparation 10%... 40%... 90%... Complete. Target locked: SCP-173!]

[Launch strike?]

At the mechanical prompt in her mind, Angel Yan's eyes narrowed.

She raised her Flame Blade high, battle fervor blazing in her eyes as never before, then brought it down hard toward SCP-173.

At her swing, a blade of orange-red fire over a hundred meters long crashed into SCP-173's slender, Little Peanut-like body.

Where the fiery light passed, the Gluttonous Battleship's rock-solid hull vanished into dust.

SCP-173 disappeared beneath the Flame Judgment.

The instant Flame Judgment struck SCP-173, shockwaves rippled out in every direction.

Everything they touched turned to dust.

Even an Asteroid in the distance exploded when a ripple swept over it.

The violent waves of orange-red flame whipped Angel Yan's golden hair wildly, making her look like a war god stepped out of ancient myth!

And where SCP-173 had stood, nothing remained!

Experts from planets across the livestream stared in shock. The power of that God-Slaying Flame Judgment...

Had surpassed everything they knew.

Confident as they might be, none dared claim they could withstand that strike.

[Sengoku: So this is an Angel's combat power? That strike could sever the Red Line. Thank goodness we never revealed our world's coordinates.]

[Garp: Relax! The Angel Civilization's Order of Justice means they won't attack the Red Line.]

[Whitebeard: Right! The Angel Warriors won't attack the Red Line. But those Celestial Dragon scum... That's another matter.]

[Ash: That lady's so beautiful! That attack was as powerful as a first-class god. When will I get a Pokémon that strong?]

[Misty: Win a championship first!]

[Ash: ...]

[Miko: If I had power like that, I'd say "I can see you!" every single day.]

[Aizen: SCP-173 should be destroyed now. I don't believe any living thing could survive that strike! Of course, whether SCP-173 is a living thing remains open to debate.]

[Momo Hinamori: The captain is right!]

[...]

It wasn't just the experts from other native worlds. After Angel Yan launched the God-Slaying Flame Judgment, Death God Karl in the River Styx Galaxy, Morgana in the Demon Castle, Hua Ye in the Barren Galaxy...

Along with Kaisa in the Angel Galaxy and Ducao aboard the Juxia, all stared fixedly at the livestream.

They all knew what a God-Slaying Flame Judgment could do.

Could anyone in the universe withstand one?

There were some, but certainly fewer than a hundred. And now such a devastating God-Slaying attack...

Had been used on a sculpture of concrete and rebar.

It was beyond using a cannon to kill a mosquito. It was like using an antimatter bomb. Yet after witnessing SCP-173's profoundly bizarre abilities, no one thought Angel Yan had overreacted.

On the contrary...

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

They silently prayed that SCP-173 had been reduced to ashes by the God-Slaying Flame Judgment.

After all...

If even that attack could not hurt SCP-173, the consequences would be dire.

Fortunately!

When the flames cleared, there was nothing where SCP-173 had stood but empty space. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as they believed SCP-173 had been obliterated, what appeared next on the livestream made their scalps prickle and cold sweat pour down their backs...

While the experts watching from across the planets marveled at Angel Yan's astonishing combat power, SCP-173—seemingly erased without a trace by the God-Slaying Flame Judgment—

Had somehow appeared behind her. Before their horrified eyes, it raised its concrete-and-rebar arms...

And placed them around Angel Yan's long, pale neck.

With Angel Yan's Third Generation Divine Body, even someone with a Fourth-Generation Body standing at the pinnacle of the Super God Crossover Universe should have struggled to appear behind her unnoticed.

Yet SCP-173 had done exactly that, with no regard for what should have been possible.

Even with its arms around Angel Yan's neck, she noticed nothing. She still held her orange-red, flame-wreathed blade...

And stood in the void like a war god, staring at the stretch of space the God-Slaying Flame Judgment had reduced to nothing.

She was searching for SCP-173's remains.

Angel Yan intended to bring SCP-173's remains back to Meleon Celestial City for the Heavenly Foundation King He Xi to study. If He Xi could discover a way to block Dark Energy communications...

The Angel Civilization's combat power would surely rise dramatically.

Of course, even if He Xi found nothing...

Yan could not leave the remains for that bitch Morgana.

If Morgana managed to learn anything from them, the Angel Civilization would be in danger.

While Angel Yan was still searching for SCP-173's remains, Holy Kesha had been reclining somewhat lazily on her throne in Meleon Celestial City, within the Angel Nebula...

Through the livestream, she saw that SCP-173 had somehow reached Angel Yan from behind and placed both hands on her neck.

Her lofty, indifferent composure vanished at once.

She sprang from her throne.

Her black pupils disappeared, leaving her eyes silver-white. As she stared at the livestream, she tried to warn Angel Yan through Dark Energy communications.

[Attempting to establish Dark Energy communications with Holy Left Wing *Yan. Warning... Unknown energy interference... Dark Energy communications channel... Connection failed.]

At the warning in her mind, a flash of anxiety crossed Kaisa's silver-white eyes.

She immediately invoked her authority.

She brought her computing power to its maximum and tried to rebuild the Dark Energy link.

[Drawing on Meleon Celestial City's computing power, the Holy Knowledge Treasury, and Sky Blade VII's computing power...]

[Retrying Dark Energy communications with Holy Left Wing *Yan... Warning: Computing capacity at limit... Warning: Unable to establish communications due to unknown energy interference.]

[Warning: Computing capacity at limit...]

[Warning...]

[...]

As Kaisa tried again, warnings rang endlessly through Holy Kesha's mind. Her expression grew graver by the second.

Only after repeated failures did Holy Kesha give up.

She now understood why Angel Yan had launched the God-Slaying Flame Judgment at SCP-173 so decisively.

Even setting everything else aside...

SCP-173's bizarre ability to sever Dark Energy communications alone would pose a grave threat to the Angel Civilization if it fell into the hands of her dear little sister Morgana.

Wait!

Why had she only just realized that SCP-173 had severed her connection with Angel Yan?

Ever since the Heavenly Foundation King He Xi had helped her upgrade to a Fourth-Generation Divine Body and gain a sacred body, she had remained connected to every Angel Warrior in the universe.

She used the Holy Knowledge Treasury and her God-Slaying Grade authority to support them in battle whenever they needed it.

By rights...

She should have noticed the instant any Angel Warrior lost the connection. And as the Holy Left Wing, Angel Yan's connection was one she watched especially closely.
