Immortal and Everlasting, SCP-682's Infinite Evolution Stuns the Entire Universe! / Execution Experiment: SCP-682, the Indestructible Lizard, vs. SCP-173, the Peanut!

Of course, no one wanted to surrender. But everyone knew that their world's fighting strength fell far short of the Saiyans'.

If the [SCP Foundation] did not intervene, destruction would await them anyway.

[Sengoku: My mind is made up! We Marines will resist to the bitter end. Even in death, we must keep our dignity!]

[Sakazuki: @Sengoku. I, Sakazuki, swear to defend the Pirate World to my dying breath.]

[Caesar: You're just a Marine Admiral. You might be somebody in the Pirate World, but against the Saiyans, you wouldn't even stand a chance against one hand!]

[Hawkeye: I support Sengoku's decision. When the time comes, I'll fight.]

[Vinsmoke Judge: If the SCP Foundation doesn't intervene, I'll surrender! Of course, if the SCP Foundation does intervene, that's another matter.]

[Pain: @Vinsmoke Judge. You're the sort who sides with whoever wins. Someone like you will never become truly strong!]

[Orochimaru: I'd love to have a Saiyan's body as a vessel!]

[Kimimaro: My lord, I'll bring one back for you!]

[Orochimaru: No need. Focus on recovering first!]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Though we know resistance is futile, the Hidden Leaf Village will fight to the end! Of course, whether we resist isn't important. The SCP Foundation is the key!]

[Pirate Empress: Exactly! But will the SCP Foundation join the fight?]

[...]

Just as everyone was arguing endlessly over whether to fight or surrender, an announcement appeared on the screens of all the live-streaming rooms: Given that the invasion of the Dragon Ball World severely threatens human safety!

Therefore, the Foundation has decided, with approval, to deploy the Containment Object designated as SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, into the Dragon Ball Universe one hour from now.

To destroy the Dragon Ball Universe completely.

For detailed information on the containment object SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, please visit our livestream.

Doctor Bai Ting will provide a detailed introduction.

Furthermore, any act of surrender will be subject to accountability by the [SCP Foundation].

The announcement immediately brought a sigh of relief from everyone in the livestreams. They all knew that the [SCP Foundation] had decided to enter the war.

And it was taking the offensive.

Their fear of the Saiyans eased considerably.

Everyone then switched to the [SCP Foundation]'s livestream, intending to find out what was so special about this Hard-to-Destroy Reptile designated SCP-682.

What made the [SCP Foundation] believe that it alone could destroy the entire Dragon Ball World?

The immortal, endlessly evolving SCP-682! Shocking the entire universe!

(First update. Please subscribe. Your support is what keeps me writing. Something came up and delayed me. Sorry. I'll start making up the missed updates tomorrow and catch up on everything I owe from the past few days!)

As viewers poured in, the audience in the [SCP Foundation]'s livestream soon reached an astonishing size.

Almost everyone in the Super God Universe had entered the livestream.

They wanted to see what was so terrifying about the legendary SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, that the [SCP Foundation] believed it could sweep through the Dragon Ball World single-handedly.

Just then, the livestream changed. The pitch-black screen slowly gave way to an image.

In the image, a hideous, monstrous creature had its enormous maw open in a ferocious roar.

The lizard-like monster had the pointed snout and serrated teeth of some prehistoric beast. Its elongated body stretched out, with traces of shifting bony joints beneath its pitch-black surface. It resembled a reptilian lizard, but measured a full three to five meters long.

It would have been a lie to say the viewers weren't somewhat disappointed by the image!

Although SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, looked hideous and terrifying, it merely ranked among the most imposing of ordinary monsters.

They felt none of the soul-deep fear they had experienced upon seeing the pictures of SCP-173, Little Peanut, and SCP-096, Shy Guy.

Quite a few viewers even felt they could kill SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, themselves.

[Sengoku: Am I sensing this wrong? I feel like I could kill SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, without even using my Great Buddha form!]

[Kaido: No, you're not mistaken. I feel the same way. It looks even weaker than Gecko Moria. I need two swings of my spiked club to beat Gecko Moria.]

[For SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, I'd only need one!]

[Gecko Moria: @Kaido. Can we please stop bringing up those two swings?]

[Orochimaru: Have you all forgotten? The previously released information on SCP-096 mentioned SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile.]

[It's a terrifying being that frightened even SCP-096, Shy Guy, who could take on SCP-343, God.]

[Though I can't sense anything unusual about it, I'm certain there's more to it than meets the eye.]

[Holy Kesha: It's normal that you can't sense anything when you're so weak. But my combat instincts tell me it's dangerous. Extremely dangerous. If I encountered it, I would certainly die.]

Holy Kesha's words immediately silenced everyone in the livestream.

There was no arguing with that!

Her meaning was simple: they couldn't see what was special about SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, because they were too weak.

It was like ants being unable to sense a dragon's oppressive presence.

They weren't even beings on the same dimensional level.

How could they possibly sense it?

Just as everyone fell silent because of Holy Kesha's words, a line of small text appeared in the empty space to the left of the image.

[Containment object]: Hard-to-Destroy Reptile!

[Item number]: SCP-682!

[Object class]: Keter!

[Physical description]: SCP-682 is a large reptile-like creature of unknown origin. For a long period, it did not communicate with any humans.

This once led us to believe that it lacked intelligence, and it displayed intense hatred toward all known life.

However, during an interaction experiment with containment object SCP-079, the two engaged in highly complex communication. This revealed that it possessed intelligence comparable to a human's.

SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, possesses extremely high strength, speed, and reflexes. Their precise extent, however, varies with its form.

The physical body of SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, grows and changes very rapidly. Through feeding or shedding its skin, SCP-682 can increase or decrease its size.

It can obtain energy from any substance, whether organic or inorganic.

[Anomalous abilities]: Immortality and infinite evolution!

As these words appeared, everyone in the livestream fell silent.

Reading the information on SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, left them deeply shaken. Especially its anomalous abilities: immortality and infinite evolution!

The mere thought made their scalps prickle.

What kind of enemy was the most frightening?

An enemy you could not kill, one capable of evolving infinitely, was undoubtedly the most frightening.

Because even if you were countless times stronger than it now...

One day, it would kill you. Anyone would feel helpless before an enemy like that.

[Experimental conclusion]: Verification by the Doctor indicates that SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, is a shell formed by 682's true form. Thus, damaging this shell, no matter how severely, is as irritating as shaving off someone's hair, but not fatal.

The Doctor believes that SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, is merely a projection of the true SCP-682 into three-dimensional reality! (Unsupported by any experimental data; currently only a hypothesis.)

However, SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, can indeed regenerate from fragments, then immediately enter an "enraged state," indiscriminately attacking every living target nearby.

After regenerating, it will evolve specific defenses against the ability that destroyed it.

Therefore, following deliberation, the Foundation believes that SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, does not experience death in the conventional sense. It exists in a state analogous to wave-particle duality.

Neither dead nor alive, it therefore cannot be destroyed!

Everyone in the livestream was dumbfounded by this information. Every time it was destroyed, it would evolve specific defenses against whatever had destroyed it...

And it could never be completely destroyed in the first place.

That ability was far too terrifying.

In other words, once SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, appeared, it would inevitably grow to the point where it could destroy the universe. ...

No wonder the [SCP Foundation] had decided to deploy it into the Dragon Ball World.

No matter how powerful the Dragon Ball World was, it could never defeat [SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile]. Before long, the Dragon Ball World would probably be...

Destroyed by SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile.

After all, immortality combined with infinite evolution was simply too terrifying.

Invincible was the only word for it!

[Aizen: I don't know why, but I'm already starting to feel sorry for the Dragon Ball World. Of all the people they could have provoked, they chose the SCP Foundation. Unbelievable.]

[This ability is somewhat similar to the Hogyoku's. But it's far stronger than the Hogyoku!]

[Momo Hinamori: @Aizen. What is the Hogyoku?]

[Aizen: You don't need to know!]

[Pain: I have a question. If SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, really is that powerful, how did the Foundation contain it?]

[That means it has an obvious weakness, just like the other containment objects!]

[If the Saiyans found out, wouldn't that mean...?]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: @Pain. I thought of that too. But whatever you can think of, the SCP Foundation must have considered as well.]

[So don't worry too much.]

[My guess is that the Foundation most likely happens to possess one or more containment objects that counter SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile.]

[Otherwise, given SCP-682's properties, it would be impossible to contain the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile!]

[Child Emperor: That's what I think too!]

[Genos: I wonder whether my teacher could completely destroy SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile!]

[Tatsumaki: @Genos. Put that dangerous thought out of your head. No matter how powerful your teacher is, he's doomed to fail if he doesn't understand SCP-682's weakness.]

[Kaido: Genos, are you fearless out of ignorance, or just far too confident in your teacher? You actually want him to fight SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile!]

[Bring your teacher out. I'd like to see how strong he is to give you that kind of confidence!]

[Genos: My teacher went out to catch thieves. Otherwise, he'll be demoted.]

[Kaido: Are you fucking kidding me?]

[...]

Just then, Doctor Bai Ting's graceful figure appeared on the livestream. She took out a document bearing the Foundation's emblem...

After showing it to the camera, she said, "To prevent the Dragon Ball Universe's invasion from spreading panic throughout the Super God Universe!"

"And causing unnecessary trouble!"

"Following the Foundation's deliberations and with approval, I will release some termination experiment footage concerning SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile!"

"This is the authorization document."

After Doctor Bai Ting finished displaying the authorization, the livestream changed, beginning to play footage of interaction experiments in which the Foundation used containment objects to terminate SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile!

Termination experiment: SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, versus SCP-173, Little Peanut!

(Second update. Please subscribe. My daughter's kindergarten had an event today. Honestly, there was an event for Women's Day too, so I got delayed. Sorry! The next update will be around ten!)

As the viewers watched eagerly, a small line of text appeared on the screen: [Addendum 682-173 termination experiment:

Incident log: SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, and SCP-173, Little Peanut, were placed in the same space.]

As the captions appeared, the footage shifted from black to a room constructed from silvery-white metal...

Upon seeing SCP-173, Little Peanut, SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, let out several deafening shrieks.

Then, before the viewers' stunned eyes, it contorted itself in an extremely bizarre manner, pressing against the wall farthest from SCP-173, Shy Guy...

It then fixed its blood-red eyes on SCP-173, Little Peanut, staring without moving a muscle!
