The Decision to Deploy SCP-682, the Indestructible Lizard, into the Dragon Ball World!

So Qilin had not had time to go home for the past two weeks.

When the first group of alien visitors finally finished their training, Yanhuang Academy assigned Qilin, as a Super Soldier, to Tianhe City to manage the alien visitors there.

Only then did she get a chance to go home.

Jiang Chen and Qilin were both in the prime of their lives.

And reunion after a long separation made the heart grow fonder.

Once they met, they started getting reacquainted before they even had a chance to eat.

Hearing that, Jiang Chen took Qilin's hand and guided it downward. "That's because you're too tempting."

"Yes! Just like that! Ah... that's just the right amount of pressure!"

Enjoying Qilin's attention, Jiang Chen asked, "By the way, Qilin, how many days can you stay home this time?"

"Days? I've only got three hours!"

Qilin sounded a little helpless. "And I had to squeeze that out of my packed schedule."

"But from now on, I'll be able to come home a few times a week!"

"Happy?"

Jiang Chen said nothing more. He rolled over, pinned Qilin beneath him, and said, "Then let's make every minute count!"

"A moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

"It would be a shame to waste it!"

Qilin burst out laughing. Without another word, she closed her eyes and let Jiang Chen have his way with her.

"Qilin, let me know before you come home next time."

Two hours later, Jiang Chen walked Qilin to the door. "That way, I can cook ahead of time."

"Otherwise, all you'll get to eat is my little stick."

Qilin blushed at his words. She gave his forehead a quick peck, called him a "little rascal," and skipped away.

Not long after Qilin left, a bold, blood-red banner suddenly appeared in the Myriad Races Livestream, which had been quiet for two weeks.

[The Super God Universe is facing a crisis that could lead to its destruction.]

[People of every world, prepare yourselves for the imminent invasion of the Dragon Ball Universe!]

The sudden banner caught everyone's attention.

They were all startled when they read it. The Super God Universe was facing destruction?

Was that for real?

Then a video titled "Dragon Ball Universe" began playing automatically in every livestream room.

Deploying SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, to the Dragon Ball World

(Third update. Please subscribe—your support keeps me writing! Tomorrow's first update will be around two o'clock. I've been busy these past few days, so I can only manage three chapters and ten thousand words a day. Sorry!)

As the video began, a narrator spoke first:

[Within the endless Chaotic Boundary Sea lie countless worlds, home to all manner of species. Worlds can broadly be divided into three types!]

[Small planets: such as Pirate Planet, Ninja Planet, and Pokémon Planet...]

[Mid-sized universes: such as the Super God Universe and the Dragon Ball Universe...]

[And origin worlds, known as realms: such as Devouring World and Shrouded Heaven World...]

[Originally, every planet, universe, and origin world existed separately within the Chaotic Boundary Sea. But due to some unknown force, they are all moving toward its center!]

[As they do, the worlds will inevitably converge.]

[Planets will become satellites of universes, and universes will become satellites of origin worlds.]

[Eventually, all worlds will become one.]

The narrator's explanation left everyone in the livestream stunned, Jiang Chen included.

So this was the nature of the Super God Universe he had crossed into.

What a setting.

While everyone was still reeling, the narrator continued:

[As all worlds become one, collisions, slaughter, and mutations are inevitable. For reasons unknown, the Dragon Ball Universe has undergone a mutation.]

[The Dragon Ball Universe contains a planet called Vegeta. It is home to a unique race: the Saiyans!]

Images appeared in the video as the narrator spoke.

A somewhat barren stretch of land came into view.

Suspended in dense ranks above it was a group of warriors in strange armor. Every one of them had black hair and a powerful build, with muscles as hard as rock.

Each radiated a violent aura.

Then, under the stunned gaze of everyone watching, the warrior at their head extended his right hand and gathered a brilliantly glowing ball of energy.

With a casual wave, he sent the ball plunging into the barren land.

The planet, roughly the size of Earth, turned to ash in an instant and vanished from the universe. The warriors, meanwhile, were completely unharmed...

At the sight of that footage, everyone was shaken.

It was not just the powerhouses from the Indigenous Worlds. Even Holy Kesha and the others who stood at the pinnacle of the Super God Universe sprang from their thrones in shock.

A planet had been destroyed as though it were nothing.

This...

Were Saiyans really that powerful?

That was far more terrifying than my Fourth-Generation Divine Body.

Jiang Chen was every bit as shocked as Holy Kesha and the others. As someone who had crossed between worlds, he knew the story of the Dragon Ball World well.

The powerhouses of the Dragon Ball World focused on cultivating ki. Their attacks could shake heaven and earth.

But apart from a handful of exceptional fighters, they could not survive in space.

Saiyans certainly could not!

Yet every Saiyan in the video could survive in space. Was that because of the mutation?

[Sengoku: These Saiyans from the Dragon Ball World are terrifying. They can destroy a planet with a single attack. If every one of them is that strong...]

[Genos: They're probably still a little weaker than my teacher, but not by much.]

[Big Mom: If I had children with Saiyans, I'd give birth to even stronger offspring.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Every one of them is stronger than the Sage of Six Paths. That's... unbelievable! I can only hope they're peaceful.]

[...]

Everyone in the livestream was still speechless at the Saiyans' power when the narrator began explaining their race.

[In the Dragon Ball World, Saiyans are known as a warrior race. They are born fighters. As long as they survive, they emerge from their injuries stronger than before.]

[Their usual practice is to search the universe for habitable planets, kill every intelligent being on them, then sell the planets to other aliens at a high price.]

[If a planet has strong fighters, they send adult warriors to wipe it clean. If its fighters are weak, they send newborn children to destroy it.]

[Eighteen years ago, however, their race underwent a mutation. They no longer knew only slaughter. They learned to draw on others' strengths and study martial arts.]

[They also used items called Dragon Balls to make enormous leaps in power. Even their weakest warriors are now on par with a Fourth-Generation Divine Body.]

[In a short time, they became the undisputed rulers of the Dragon Ball World. Since the convergence of the worlds began, they have destroyed three universes.]

[In twenty-four hours, the Super God Universe will come into contact with the Dragon Ball World!]

After hearing the narration, everyone in the Super God Universe fell silent.

Even the carefree Luffy and the others realized how serious things were. As it stood, the Super God Universe would have to face a race whose every member was on par with a Fourth-Generation Divine Body...

A bloodthirsty warrior race at that.

They would be walking straight into a slaughter!

Even Holy Kesha, Pan Zhen, Death God Karl, and Hua Ye turned pale, let alone the powerhouses of the Indigenous Worlds.

By their calculations, they had no chance of winning on their own.

Their destruction was only a matter of time.

At last, they understood why the banner had said the Super God Universe was facing a crisis that could lead to its destruction.

Countless people trembled in fear.

But they had not lost all hope.

The Saiyans were immensely powerful, but the Super God Universe was not entirely without a chance. They had all seen what the SCP Foundation could do.

If the SCP Foundation intervened, the outcome was far from certain.

But the SCP Foundation was deeply mysterious.

Its motto was "We control. We contain. We protect." Yet no one knew whom the SCP Foundation meant to protect.

What if it only protected the humans of Earth?

Once they recovered from the shock, they flooded the livestream with mentions of the SCP Foundation, desperate to know whether their worlds fell under its protection.

[Sengoku: @SCP Foundation, can you give us a clear answer? Is the Pirate World under your protection?]

[If it isn't, we need to start making other plans.]

[Pain: Exactly. If the Ninja World isn't under the Foundation's protection, we'll need to find another way.]

[Aizen: I'm sure the SCP Foundation will intervene. The Saiyans are invaders by nature. They won't spare Earth!]

[But our planets will probably be destroyed long before the SCP Foundation acts.]

[Genos: I hope my teacher can hold out until the SCP Foundation intervenes.]

[Tatsumaki: They're just a bunch of monkeys. I'll kill as many as come!]

[Kaido: @Tatsumaki, I admire your confidence, but don't you think you're overdoing it?]

[Fusu: I'm done. Their power is off the charts. We couldn't hold them off even if we gave it everything we had! I'm giving up. Father, it isn't that your son didn't try!]

[The enemy is just too strong.]

[Miko: I wonder if Evil Spirits eat Saiyans.]

[...]

Everyone in the livestream wanted to know whether the SCP Foundation would intervene and, if so, when.

Then a link appeared in every livestream room. Opening it revealed a video from the Dragon Ball World.

The video showed a middle-aged man in battle armor seated on a throne. Killing intent burned in his eyes, and red markings crossed his face. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am King Vegeta."

"Friends of the Super God Universe, we'll meet in twenty-four hours!"

"I'm giving you two choices!"

"First, submit to me and become a subordinate race of the Saiyans. Not only will you survive, you'll also receive a method for cultivating ki!"

"Of course, you can choose to resist!"

"But if you do, don't say I didn't warn you."

"Submission or extinction. The choice is yours!"

The video ended as soon as King Vegeta finished speaking. Short though it was, it sent shock waves through the Super God Universe.

Suddenly, everyone was asking the same question: fight or surrender?

The arguments raged on.
