Super God: The Foundation, Starting with Fabricating SCPs

Yet its strength far exceeded anything most people could imagine. In just a few blows, it had smashed a deep crater into the alloy armor.

At this rate...

It probably would not be long before SCP-173 punched through the Gluttonous Battleship's armor and got inside.

In the livestream, the powerful figures from various native planets felt their scalps prickle at the sight. Cold sweat poured down their backs!

They could not help it!

SCP-173's abilities were simply too bizarre.

They defied common sense.

A conceptual neck-snapping ability, movement through space that ignored the laws of physics, strength enough to pierce alloy armor... Every one of these abilities lay beyond their understanding!

They also realized that the Foundation, which could contain SCP-173, had to be an organization of unimaginable power.

It was a colossal force beyond anything they could fathom.

[Sengoku: I can't imagine how vast an organization the Foundation must be to contain SCP-173. Judging by its designation, the Foundation has at least 173 Containment Objects!]

[Tatsumaki: These Containment Objects are far stranger than the monsters in our world.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: The Gluttonous army has bitten off more than it can chew this time. The Foundation is far beyond their ability to challenge. If I were them, I'd withdraw immediately.]

[Ying Zheng: Withdraw? Impossible! They worship death, for one thing, and a soldier's duty is to follow orders. Even if it means every last one of them dies, they won't retreat!]

[Vegapunk: What excellent research material! If I could study it, perhaps I could discover the source of its strange abilities!]

[Orochimaru: Agreed! I'd like to study it too.]

[Child Emperor: Count me in!]

[Ash: Are you all crazy? You actually want to study that thing?]

[Misty: Someone who's never won a championship doesn't get a say!]

[Ash: ...]

[...]

Jiang Chen read the livestream comments and silently made a note of Vegapunk, Orochimaru, and Child Emperor.

The Foundation did need a vast number of researchers.

They were needed to study, analyze, and experiment on Containment Objects. He could spend Popularization Points in the system shop to buy researchers, but the abilities of those junior and even senior researchers...

Surely could not compare to these three.

If the opportunity arose, Jiang Chen could consider bringing them into the Foundation. Perhaps they really could discover something remarkable.

While Jiang Chen considered recruiting Vegapunk and the others, General Feng, commanding the Gluttonous Flagship, saw that SCP-173 was about to smash through the alloy armor...

He promptly issued an order to his subordinates: "Deploy a thousand-strong Gluttonous combat unit."

"Surround SCP-173 from every angle. Leave no blind spots, and hold it there."

"Make sure at least ten pairs of eyes are on SCP-173 at all times."

General Feng paused, then continued, "According to the video, the Foundation will come to retrieve it within forty-eight hours at the earliest."

"We must hold out until the Foundation arrives!"

"Carry out the order!"

The Gluttonous were a beastlike species with powerful muscles and formidable fighting strength, but most were not particularly intelligent. Apart from Gluttonous King Shi, Generals Feng and Lei were the brightest in the entire species.

So although General Feng was not among the strongest Gluttonous fighters...

He could still serve as commander-in-chief of the advance Warships.

At General Feng's command, Gluttonous combat squads flew out of the Warships in small space shuttles and headed straight for SCP-173.

They had already seen how strange SCP-173 was on the livestream.

They could not help fearing the bizarre statue made of concrete and rebar. But orders were orders. It did not matter that SCP-173 lay ahead.

Even if they faced a stranger Containment Object, they would charge without hesitation.

It was this fearless spirit that had made them stand out among countless others and win Death God Karl's favor, lifting them from beasts that ate raw meat and drank blood...

Into a civilization capable of fighting across star systems.

Soon!

Thanks to the excellent performance of the small space shuttles supplied by Death God Karl, over a thousand Gluttonous Warriors arrived at SCP-173's platform.

Following General Feng's orders, they surrounded SCP-173 from every direction, leaving no blind spots.

Then they widened their eyes and stared fixedly at SCP-173!

With over a thousand Gluttonous Warriors, they could easily keep dozens or even hundreds of pairs of eyes on SCP-173 at once. That was more than enough to pin it down completely!

And just as the video had described, SCP-173 stopped moving. It stood on the alloy deck like an ordinary statue.

Only then did General Feng, aboard the Gluttonous Flagship, breathe a long sigh of relief.

Now all we have to do is wait for this so-called Foundation to come and contain it.

General Feng was not alone. The powerful figures from native planets watching the livestream also breathed sighs of relief.

In their minds, they lowered SCP-173's threat level considerably.

After all, while SCP-173 possessed numerous inexplicable abilities, its weakness was obvious: once someone looked directly at it...

It lost the ability to move.

Such an obvious weakness was easy to exploit.

[Sengoku: They finally have it under control. SCP-173's weakness is far too obvious. Without it, this thing would be terrifying!]

[Red-Haired Shanks: I wonder whether Observation Haki works on it. If it does, its threat level drops even further.]

[Neji Hyuga: I don't know about Observation Haki, but the Hyuga clan's Byakugan is definitely SCP-173's nemesis!]

[Sasuke Uchiha: So is the Sharingan!]

[Pain: The Rinnegan is SCP-173's nemesis too.]

[Monster King Orochi: My Dragon-level monster, Gyoro Gyoro, is SCP-173's true nemesis! With her around, it wouldn't matter how many SCP-173s there were.]

[Tatsumaki: Child Emperor, did you see that? Record Gyoro Gyoro's abilities and threat level. It'll help us eliminate her later.]

[Child Emperor: Got it!]

[Monster King Orochi: ...]

[Black Sperm: If every Containment Object has a weakness as obvious as SCP-173's, containing them will be much easier.]

[Metal Knight: Based on the available data, yes. From that, we can infer that the Foundation cannot be too powerful. At most, it's on par with the Angel Civilization.]

[Doflamingo: Agreed!]

[ay5: The boss is right!]

[...]

Jiang Chen read the increasingly relaxed comments in the livestream, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

Ignorance really is bliss!

They're all calling themselves SCP-173's nemesis? Seriously?

They think far too highly of themselves.

Forget it!

Why argue with them? Let them enjoy their smugness. Hopefully they'll still be this confident once they truly understand how terrifying Containment Objects are!

Let's see if they can still laugh when the next Containment Object I invent appears!

Didn't they say eyes were its nemesis?

When the time comes, they'll wish they could gouge their own eyes out.

In Meleon Celestial City, within the Angel Nebula...

"Your Majesty, Sister Yan cannot have died for nothing!"

Zhixin, the Holy Right Wing, held her Flame Blade and spoke indignantly to Kesha, who sat upon the throne. "The Gluttonous Legion must pay!"

"Sister Yan died because they invaded Earth!"

Of all the Angels, Angel Zhixin had been closest to Yan.

To Zhixin, Angel Yan had been both mentor and friend. In a sense, Yan had guided her onto her path. Without Angel Yan, Zhixin would not be who she was today.

If Holy Kesha had not stopped her, she would already have unleashed a God-Slaying Flame Judgment upon the Gluttonous Legion in her fury.

At Zhixin's words, not the slightest ripple crossed Holy Kesha's delicate, doll-like face. As before...

She sat on the throne, looking faintly languid.

Expressionless, Holy Kesha stared at Angel Yan's body floating before her.

Only Heavenly Foundation King He Xi knew that Holy Kesha was nowhere near as composed as she appeared. She was doing everything she could, devoting all her computing power...

To trying to repair Angel Yan's body.

The computing power required was so immense that even Holy Kesha, with her Fourth Generation Divine Body, had to devote herself entirely to it.

She could spare no attention to answer Zhixin!

[Attempting to repair Yan's divine-body data... Repair impossible... Warning: data at the neck is fragmented... Continuing repairs...]

[Warning: Holy Knowledge Treasury... Third Generation Divine Body data at the neck is fragmented... Restoration impossible!]

[Accessing Meleon Celestial City's maximum computing power, Sky Blade VII's maximum computing power, Holy Body's maximum computing power, the Angel planet's maximum computing power, and every Angel Warrior's maximum computing power...]

[Continuing repair attempt... Repair impossible... Data at Yan's neck is fragmented across all databases...]

[Void Engine restart failed!]

[One hundred and thirty million attempts made. All failed!]

[...]

"Stop, Kesha."

As Holy Kesha continued trying to repair Angel Yan's body, Heavenly Foundation King He Xi spoke softly. "Angel Yan has fallen in battle!"

"Conceptual neck-snapping is something we cannot comprehend at present!"

"Don't waste any more computing power."

Heavenly Foundation King He Xi had followed Kesha since their rise from weakness more than thirty thousand years ago. She knew Kesha was not as cold as she seemed.

On the contrary, Kesha treasured her comrades more than anyone.

But as the chief deity of the Angel Nebula, she had to appear distant and merciless.

Only then could she better protect her warriors.

Angel Yan's death had shaken Holy Kesha deeply. The moment Kesha returned to Meleon Celestial City, she had spared no expense in drawing on every source of computing power!

She was trying to bring Angel Yan back to life.

She had not even dealt with the severed Dark Energy communications, a crisis that could bring down the Angel Civilization.

He Xi's words brought Holy Kesha back to reality. Yan, who had been by her side for seven thousand years, truly had fallen in battle.

No matter what she did, she could not bring her back.

Grief filled Holy Kesha's heart, yet her face betrayed nothing. She wore the same cold expression that kept everyone at a distance.
