Key plot points and events
- A universal livestream system has appeared across the Super God Universe, letting civilizations broadcast to one another. The Pirate, Ninja, Pokémon, Shinigami, and other worlds learn of the wider universe and its powerful interstellar civilizations.
- The Gluttonous army, serving Death God Karl, approaches Earth after its coordinates are exposed. Viewers from other worlds expect Earth to be overwhelmed, while they take care to keep their own planetary coordinates secret.
- Jiang Chen, an orphaned transmigrator living in Tianhe City, has spent a month preparing to reveal the SCP Foundation. His SCP Fabrication System—slow to load—finally became usable after eighteen years.
- Jiang releases a small model of SCP-173, telling it to make the Foundation’s first move. At the same time, a prepared video introduces the Foundation’s mission: conceal the inexplicable, contain dangerous anomalies, and protect ordinary people so they can live in a rational world.
- The announcement and video astonish viewers across the universe. Their reactions turn into a debate over whether the Foundation can actually defend Earth from the Gluttonous invasion.
