But as time passed, SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, seemed to develop resistance in its newly grown flesh.
It charred more and more slowly.
Finally...
After three or four minutes, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile's new flesh no longer feared Hellfire at all. No matter how fiercely the flames burned...
They could not harm it in the slightest.
Its terrifying regenerative ability made the viewers in the livestream feel their scalps prickle.
There was no denying it!
It was absurdly powerful.
Regeneration that defied all reason, combined with the ability to evolve on its own, made it virtually unstoppable.
Unless the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile could be killed in a single blow...
It would only grow stronger.
But even the SCP Foundation, with its many Containment Objects and unfathomable power, could not kill the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile.
For any other faction to try was a pipe dream.

It passed through the raging Hellfire.
And entered a strange space.
At one end stretched Snake Way, extending beyond sight, with countless races lining up to enter. At the other stood an Eerie Altar a full thousand meters across.
At the altar's center, a woman of peerless, holy beauty was bound in midair by Chains of Order in an utterly humiliating pose.
Naked, she hovered above the platform with her arms and legs spread wide.
Before and behind her, two pig-headed beings labored away. As they did, their sturdy bodies...
Withered rapidly before the eye.
At last, each gave a shudder, crumbled to ash, and vanished from the altar. Once they were gone, the woman caught her breath, raised her breathtaking face...
Spat the residue from her mouth, and said, "King Vegeta, you..."
But she never finished.
Her mouth was blocked again!
All she could
