[Sengoku: If SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, could really be sealed, why would the Foundation classify it as Keter? Impossible!]

[All we can do is pray that SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, doesn't appear in our world!]

[Empress: Petrification probably won't work either. Seriously, ever since the SCP Foundation appeared, my Mero Mero Fruit doesn't seem to work on any Containment Objects!]

[Pan Zhen: Now that I've seen how powerful SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, is, I can rest easy. The Saiyans of the Dragon Ball World are strong, but I think they're destined to perish at its hands!]

[Ash: But come to think of it, if SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, is this powerful, doesn't that make the SCP Foundation even more unfathomable?]

[Misty: Definitely! Now that I'm on Earth, aside from showing everyone my turtle squirting water, I hardly dare summon my other Pokémon.]

[I'm afraid something might go wrong. But livestreaming here really does pay well.]

[Especially with Sister Su Xiaoli showing me the ropes.]

[Su Xiaoli: @Misty, you're too kind. I love the Pokémon you gave me, too.]

[...]

After seeing the power of SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, the people in the livestream chat spent some time in shock. Then the gloom cast over them by the Dragon Ball World's invasion began to lift.

They were still a little worried, but the conversation grew much lighter.

Misty and the others even began sharing their experiences on Earth.

Those whose applications had yet to be approved listened eagerly. They wished they could get permission at once, enter Earth, and begin their own journeys.

Just as the power of SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, began to ease everyone's heavy mood, Doctor Banting's voice sounded at the right moment:

"After SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, evolved eyes to counter SCP-173..."

"The Doctor conducted another forty-three experiments. After losing 1,324 D-class researchers, he finally concluded that SCP-173, Little Peanut, could no longer pose a threat to SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile."

"After that, the Doctor tried to use SCP-343, God, to execute SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile!"

"The result was just a brief conversation!"

"See for yourselves!"

As Doctor Banting spoke, the livestream image changed. The silver-white room gave way to the room housing SCP-343, God...

The viewers remembered SCP-343, God, vividly from his earlier interaction experiment with SCP-096, Shy Guy.

After all, who could forget a Containment Object that could smash planets around like marbles and launch a dimensional attack with a casual strike?

They had expected another spectacular battle.

But when SCP-343, God, saw the photograph and was asked to execute SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, pictured in it, he stood frozen for a long time.

At last, he slowly said, "SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, is not my creation!"

"I saw a three-dimensional projection on it."

"I cannot execute it!"

SCP-343, God, paused, seemingly deep in thought. After a long while, he told the Doctor gravely, "I advise your Foundation not to go to such lengths to execute it!"

"First, you cannot kill it!"

"Second, if it truly dies, the anger it provokes will drive K to try even harder to enter the primary timeline of the baseline universe!"

"If K succeeds..."

"All timelines, worlds, and baseline reality will..."

The video ended there.

But every viewer in the livestream chat sat stunned. SCP-343, God, had packed far too much information into those few words.

What did he mean by a three-dimensional projection on SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile?

What did it mean to enter the primary timeline of the baseline universe?

And what the hell did he mean when he said that, if K succeeded, all timelines, worlds, and baseline reality would...?

And who was this "K" SCP-343, God, had mentioned?

The string of questions left the viewers' minds blank. Even scientists at the pinnacle of their worlds, like Child Emperor and Vegapunk...

Were completely lost.

While everyone was still bewildered, Doctor Banting's voice sounded again: "This is one of the Foundation's highest secrets."

"No one knows about it except..."

"Frankly, I don't understand why they approved the release of this recording!"

Doctor Banting paused, then continued, "Simply knowing of K's existence—even if you don't know K's name..."

"Increases the chance of K entering the primary timeline of the baseline universe."

"Perhaps it has something to do with the changes in the Dragon Ball World!"

Rather than clearing up their confusion, Doctor Banting's words left everyone even more baffled.

The matter of timelines in particular...

Was beyond them. Still, they knew it spoke to the SCP Foundation's power.

The Foundation might not merely be fighting Containment Objects across the multiverse.

It might even be fighting across different timelines.

Of course, that was only their guess. Nothing had been confirmed.

But it was enough to leave them shaken!

[Sengoku: Ever since the SCP Foundation appeared, I've wondered how an organization native to Earth could become so powerful in just twenty thousand years.]

[Now it seems that, although it was indeed founded only twenty thousand years ago, who knows how long it has existed in other timelines?]

[When I think of it that way, it makes sense.]

[Child Emperor: The SCP Foundation has already reached into other timelines? Unbelievable!]

[Blast: I know the multiverse exists, but timelines are beyond anything I've dealt with.]

[Fusu: I'm done. Completely done. I'm giving up! Father, it's not that your son hasn't tried. Great Qin simply can't compare with them!]

[Mei Terumi: @Fusu! Same here. I'm giving up too! By the way, when are you going to Earth? How about we go on a date then?]

[Fusu: @Mei Terumi, my application has been approved, but there's still a lot to handle in the Great Qin Empire. Father entrusted it to me, and I can't let him down.]

[We'll see when the time comes!]

[Mei Terumi: @Fusu! OK! Keep in touch by private message!]

[Miko: Another strange couple has appeared.]

[...]

Death Singer Academy.

Death God Karl, clad in a cloak, set aside his research and murmured, "Timelines?"

"That's a field Principal Zilean has already entered."

"This SCP Foundation is too powerful."

"Compared with them, even the Ultimate Fear might be no more than a Euclid-class Containment Object!"

At the thought, an inexplicable irritation rose in Death God Karl.

Ever since graduating from Super God Academy, he had remained at Death Singer Academy, researching the Ultimate Fear. He was confident that, apart from Principal Zilean...

His research stood at the very pinnacle of the Super God Universe.

Given enough time, he was certain he could surpass Principal Zilean.

But since the SCP Foundation had appeared, one Containment Object after another had shaken his understanding of the world.

At first, he had still been able to deceive himself.

Now he finally had to admit that, compared with the SCP Foundation, his research was worthless.

His more than twenty thousand years of research, measured against the Foundation's findings...

Was a pile of shit.

That realization made even Death God Karl's heart, unmoved for countless years, ache faintly!

I really want to join the SCP Foundation.

But he knew that was nothing more than wishful thinking. The Gluttonous invasion of the Red Crow Star System alone had destroyed any hope of that.

Even without it, the SCP Foundation would never let an outsider join.

By "outsider," he meant anyone at all.

After observing it for so long, Death God Karl was certain the SCP Foundation recruited no one.

It cultivated talent only from within its own ranks.

That was how it grew stronger.

Even so, he remained confident. His research might be dogshit compared with the SCP Foundation's now.

But he knew the direction he had chosen was right.

And one day, he would reach the far shore called truth!

While Death God Karl's confidence swelled, Doctor Banting continued in the livestream: "Besides using SCP-173, Little Peanut, and SCP-343, God, against SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile..."

"Over the past several decades, the Doctor used more than twenty Containment Objects in attempts to execute SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile!"

"Every attempt failed!"

Doctor Banting paused, then continued, "In the end, the Foundation had to admit that, under current conditions, killing SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, for good was impossible."

"So when the Dragon Ball Universe prepared to invade the Super God Universe..."

"We decided to deploy SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, into the Dragon Ball Universe. Part of the reason, of course, was to use it to destroy the Saiyans!"

"More importantly, we suspect the changes in the Dragon Ball Universe are connected to SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile!"

"Our suspicion is based on the Seven Incident!"

"All right. I've just received word that my colleague, the Doctor, has opened the Great Worm Bridge to the Dragon Ball World."

"SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, has already crossed the Great Worm Bridge into the Dragon Ball Universe."

"Now, follow in the footsteps of SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, through the livestream."

"Take in the wonders of the Dragon Ball Universe!"

As soon as Doctor Banting finished speaking, the image changed before hundreds of millions of viewers. The science-fiction-style office vanished...

And a small island appeared, isolated in the open sea!

The island covered less than a few hundred square meters. Apart from a few coconut trees and a modest little house, there was nothing on it.

A line of small text appeared in the upper-right corner of the livestream: [Dragon Ball World · Earth · Kame House]

Then the view shifted!

An old man in floral shorts lay in a beach chair, basking in the sun while leering at the aerobics dancers on television!

Beside the television, a sea turtle the size of a millstone watched the lecherous old man with open disdain.

Just then, the aerobics program ended abruptly, replaced by a series of breaking news reports!

"An artificial womb developed by the genius scientist Bulma has officially entered production."

"With the artificial womb, we can produce more Super Saiyan warriors for the great King Vegeta!"

"When Earthling and Saiyan genes combine, the resulting warriors awaken as Super Saiyans more easily! Therefore, all women of Earth are required to donate their eggs without compensation."

"Our Dragon Ball Universe will make contact with the Super God Universe in twenty-three hours!"

"The Saiyan army is ready to depart. Let us all cheer for the great King Vegeta!"
