The data models created from their records would live there, "happy" forever.

Holy Kesha's favorite moments were when she sat on her throne and immersed her consciousness in the Ideal Divine Kingdom, talking with those data models.

She told them about changes in the Angel Civilization and the troubles weighing on her.

Only watching the data models laugh and play without a care could ease the tension in Kesha's heart, if only a little.

This was her secret alone!

She buried her weakness, her tenderness, and her passion, all so there would be fewer data models in the Ideal Divine Kingdom.

Holy Kesha watched Angel Yan's data model greet her old friends in the Ideal Divine Kingdom, and a flicker of joy crossed Kesha's eyes...

But that joy vanished almost at once.

She knew a data model was only a data model. The real Angel Yan had died in battle.

And she had died in an utterly bizarre way.

The blame lay with Kesha's own arrogance. If she had not been so arrogant, Angel Yan would never have rushed off to confront SCP-173...

And she would never have died like that.

Only after a long while did Holy Kesha draw her attention back from the Ideal Divine Kingdom. She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and forced herself to calm down.

Then, in a voice cold beyond measure, she told Zhixin, "There's no need to punish the Gluttonous Legion just yet!"

"SCP-173's ability to sever dark-energy communications poses too great a threat to the Angel Civilization."

"For now, we'd best wait and see!"

Holy Kesha paused, then continued, "One careless move, and Morgana could profit from our fight."

"Let the Foundation come and retrieve it!"

He Xi, the Heavenly Foundation King, heard Holy Kesha's words and saw her impassive face. A trace of heartache flashed through her eyes.

She wanted to offer her old comrade a few words of comfort.

But she swallowed them. She knew she could not break through Holy Kesha's facade.

After hearing Holy Kesha's decision, Zhixin and the other Angels wanted nothing more than to slaughter the entire Gluttonous Legion on the spot.

Even so, they said they understood.

Then they returned to watching the livestream.

Holy Kesha was not the only one who chose to wait and see. Demon Queen Morgana, Death God Kyle, Ducao aboard the Juxia, and the other factions all made the same choice.

The Super God Crossover Universe seemed to have had its pause button pressed, and everything fell still.

Everyone waited for the Foundation to arrive and contain SCP-173. They intended to use this rare chance to see what the so-called Foundation was truly capable of.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen, the man behind it all, heard the bell ending his classes.

Jiang Chen watched the livestream as he walked home. After putting his schoolbag in his bedroom, he went to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and started cooking.

A few simple dishes were soon ready.

Just as he finished, he heard the door open. Jiang Chen looked over and saw Qilin, dressed in a police uniform with a black fitted skirt...

She was changing her shoes by the shoe cabinet.

Qilin bent forward slightly, bracing one fair arm against the cabinet as she eased her small, delicate foot out of a black high heel...

Then slipped it into a house sandal.

Because of the way she was bent over, her curves beneath the short black skirt looked especially full.

Like a ripe peach.

It almost made him want to give them a good smack.

After changing into her sandals, Qilin walked to the dining table. Her face lit up at the generous spread. "Braised ribs, eggplant with minced pork, braised pork belly..."

"Such a feast, and they're all my favorites!"

"Xiao Chen, you're the best!"

With that, Qilin leaned over and planted a loud kiss on Jiang Chen's cheek.

They had grown up together. Though they were called brother and sister, they were really childhood sweethearts. After Qilin's parents died in the line of duty...

They had relied on each other, growing closer still.

Neither could count how many little gestures of affection they had shared in private. Jiang Chen made a show of wiping the cheek Qilin had kissed and said:

"All right, sis, go wash your hands."

"Otherwise, the food will get cold!"

Qilin agreed and headed for the bathroom.

Jiang Chen watched her go, affection flickering in his eyes. Back when he watched the Super God anime, Qilin had always been his favorite character!

It was not that the other female characters were unattractive!

They just felt somehow unreal, while Qilin felt grounded. And in both looks and personality, she was his ideal woman.

In this life, they had supported each other for more than a decade.

Their bond had long since become unbreakable.

Three days flew by!

During that time, SCP-173's performance earned Jiang Chen a huge number of educational points. His progress in fabricating SCPs accelerated dramatically...

Even with the beginner's gift pack, fabricating SCP-173 had taken Jiang Chen nearly a month. But he had finished fabricating SCP-096: Shy Guy in just three days.

He was sure SCP-096 would give the Super God Crossover Universe a little shock.

Jiang Chen had also bought several Mobile Task Force teams and sets of Space Armor from the system shop to make containing SCP-173 easier!

Everything was ready. All that remained was for the countdown to end so he could contain SCP-173.

As the countdown neared its end, powerful figures from the various inhabited worlds gathered in the Foundation Livestream to see how the Foundation would retrieve an SCP.

[Zoro: The countdown's almost over. That so-called Foundation won't be late, will it?]

[Nami: They're not directionally challenged like you. They won't be late!]

[Zoro: Exactly! Whenever I arrive, all of you are already late. How could it be my fault?]

[Robin: ...]

[Aizen: These have been the longest three days of my life. At last, I can see the Foundation for what it really is!]

[Momo Hinamori: So even the captain gets anxious!]

[Pain: I hope the Foundation doesn't disappoint.]

[Danzo: I don't know why, but I'm sure the Foundation won't disappoint. After all, they've operated in the shadows for tens of thousands of years without being discovered.]

[Child Emperor: I haven't done my homework because I wanted to watch the livestream!]

[Naruto: Are you kidding me? An S-Class Hero doing homework? You've got to be joking!]

[...]

As the powerful figures from the various worlds heatedly discussed the SCP Foundation's imminent appearance, the countdown entered its final five seconds!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

When the countdown ended, everyone held their breath and stared at the livestream, afraid to miss even the tiniest detail!

Under their gaze, a spatial rift abruptly opened behind SCP-173. A black grenade the size of a fist flew out!

To everyone's bewilderment, it landed on the metal platform beneath SCP-173!

Then a dazzling white flash burst forth like a white dwarf exploding, turning the livestream image and several kilometers of surrounding space pure white.

The sudden glare made viewers from every world instinctively shut their eyes, even through their screens.

The thousand or so Gluttonous Warriors surrounding SCP-173 had it far worse.

They knew SCP-173 would attack if everyone closed their eyes. But under such intense light, no matter how hard they tried...

They could not keep their eyes open.

The instant the flash erupted, all thousand-odd Gluttonous Warriors shut their eyes.

SCP-173 vanished from where it stood on the alloy platform and appeared behind the nearest Gluttonous Warrior...

It reached out with its round hands and gave a gentle twist.

Crack...

With that sound, the Gluttonous Warrior's neck snapped, along with the silver-white armor capable of withstanding cannon fire.

SCP-173 did not stop killing. It moved behind the next Gluttonous Warrior at a speed too fast for the eye to follow...

And used its concept-level neck-snapping ability again!

Each time SCP-173 flickered to a new position, a sharp crack rang through the livestream. Its killing efficiency was terrifying.

In just five or six seconds, it snapped the necks of all thousand-odd Gluttonous Warriors present, leaving the powerful viewers from every world staring in disbelief.

No one had expected such a killing rate.

They stared blankly at the livestream, eyes wide with disbelief. If not for the thousand-odd bodies floating in space on the screen...

The Gluttonous Warriors' necks still spat sparks.

They would never have believed SCP-173 had killed them all in a mere five or six seconds.

How the hell was that possible?

If SCP-173 did not have the weakness of being unable to move while watched, it could probably wipe out a planet of over ten billion people in less than a day.

It was terrifying!

Once they recovered from the shock, they realized something else: the SCP Foundation was no benevolent organization.

Ruthless and cold-blooded were better words for it.

The Foundation must have planned to use SCP-173 to massacre the Gluttonous Warriors from the start. SCP-173's appearance might even have been deliberate.

Otherwise, why would SCP-173 have appeared aboard a Gluttonous Battleship at such a convenient time?

Realizing this, everyone silently raised their assessment of the SCP Foundation's threat level.

After all, this organization could use bizarre Containment Objects to kill.

And that was not all!

This time alone, if the SCP Foundation had not disclosed SCP-173's information in advance, the Gluttonous Legion's advance fleet might well have...

Been wiped out by SCP-173!

[Sengoku: It seems we misjudged the SCP Foundation. Though it's an organization from a primitive world, it controls at least several hundred bizarre Containment Objects like SCP-173.]

[And judging by this operation, they have no qualms about using Containment Objects to kill.]

[Sakazuki: The SCP Foundation must not be provoked! They have the power to destroy worlds!]

[Miko: They actually used a Containment Object to kill! If I could control Evil Spirits, I'd never do what they did!]

[Ying Zheng: Well done! No method is too vicious against an enemy. I approve of the SCP Foundation's approach!]

[Danzo: Exactly! I agree with Ying Zheng. The Gluttonous Legion invaded first. Whatever methods the Foundation uses, they're defending their homeland.]

[Tatsumaki: Don't forget, the Foundation disclosed its weakness in advance to avoid harming innocent people. They warned everyone that they'd be responsible for the consequences. That was enough! Those people with ulterior motives had it coming!]

[Zhixin: Tatsumaki, say that again!]
