Chapter 516: Chapter 516
[However, Red Ice has two properties.]
[First, it remains liquid between -100°C and 0°C. At higher temperatures, it solidifies, and below -100°C, it evaporates into a steam-like gas.]
[Second, and its most dangerous property, is that Red Ice can infect any liquid with its anomalous nature.]
[Whether it's blood, seawater, chemical liquids, or pure water – if any form of Red Ice touches it, even a tiny bit, it will be assimilated and take on the same properties. This transformation is irreversible.]
[The Foundation utilized Red Ice to develop several weapons, including the Red Ice Grenade.]
[By vaporizing Red Ice and compressing it into a grenade, it can be thrown at enemies.]
[Since most organisms have body temperatures above 0°C, once exposed to gaseous Red Ice, their bodily fluids and blood instantly crystallize into solid Red Ice – resulting in death.]
[However, using a Red Ice Grenade requires careful attention to ambient temperature. If it's above 0°C, the released Red Ice gas will immediately solidify, allowing for easy retrieval and limiting collateral damage.]
[But if it's below -100°C, the Red Ice will remain in gas form and potentially spread far, escalating the situation. In those cases, flamethrowers or similar methods are required to raise temperatures and solidify the Red Ice.]
[At the same time, it is crucial not to let it touch unintended liquids, especially rivers or oceans.]
After the screen explained the Red Ice Grenade in detail,
Clark and Barry felt as if new knowledge had been etched into their minds.
In front of Bruce Wayne appeared ten grenades that looked completely ordinary.
Normally, everyone would have eagerly studied their new rewards.
But right now, their hearts were too heavy to care.
...
Back to the present.
Rogers: I didn't expect that while we were fighting here, so much was happening over there.
Rhodes: Now that you mention it, I do recall hearing notification sounds about containment success earlier. I didn't realize it was that serious.
Natasha: It sounds bad, but honestly, I'm relieved those SCPs didn't appear in our universe. If they had caused chaos while we're fighting a war, it would've been disastrous.
Ancient One: Indeed. Shadow Spiders and Nightmare Respirators are highly contagious. I can't imagine the havoc they'd wreak in the middle of our battles.
Tony Stark: Still, I'm really curious about that Red Ice Grenade. Its liquid-infecting, solidifying, or vaporizing properties are kinda like Crystalline Creeper. If I had one, I'd love to study and compare them.
Tony Stark: Hey, Bruce Wayne, have you researched the Red Ice Grenade yet?
Bruce Wayne: Just… give me a moment of silence. I'm not in the mood for this right now.
Dorami: Don't bother them for now. They're not feeling well.
Tony Stark: Ah… sorry.
Thanos: You're upset over a few sacrifices? You're like children sulking. How will you ever achieve anything great?
Thanatos: Indeed. Humans are so pathetic – sentimental and utterly disgusting.
Manigault: Oh? Would you rather we be like you two – creatures so twisted no one even knows what species you are? Sorry, I forgot – you're not people, just unknown things.
Kaludia: Hahaha! Well said!
Thanatos: You two…!!!
Aaron: Speaking of the Nightmare Respirator, Hypnos, would you be able to handle it?
Hypnos: I'm not sure. If it belongs to the dream world, perhaps. But I haven't encountered it, so I can't say for certain.
Hypnos: Besides, we don't even know if it's actually a dreamworld entity.
Aaron: …Fine.
Tony Stark: By the way, earlier they said an SCP will appear in our universe – something about eyes everywhere. What exactly is that?
Ultraman: Let me explain.
Five minutes ago.
[Now playing the next SCP: Eyes Everywhere.]
As the announcement ended, the screen displayed a painting. The painting had nothing except a single eye.
[Eyes Everywhere's anomaly originates from a painting featuring an eye. If someone looks at it for five seconds, the anomaly will trigger.]
[From then on, in all the days that follow, wherever the viewer looks, they will see that eye within their field of vision. No one else can see it.]
[It's not merely an illusion. The eye gives a tangible sense of being watched. Unable to escape its gaze, whether asleep or awake, the victim constantly feels observed – often driving them insane.]
As the narration continued, a video began to play.
In the footage, several researchers surrounded a man who looked extremely unwell.
[Researcher: Sir, you say you're constantly being watched by an eye?]
[Subject: Not just one! There are many!]
[The subject spoke frantically, his eyes bloodshot as if he hadn't slept in ages.]
[Subject: Those eyes are everywhere! No matter where I go, I see them! And they keep increasing with time! I try to ignore them, but I can feel them watching me! Even when I sleep, they're staring at me… I'm going insane!]
[As he spoke, he clawed at his hair and ears, completely distraught.]
[Researcher: Please calm down, sir. When did you first see the eye?]
[The researcher tried to soothe him while figuring out the origin.]
[Subject: I remember… I'll never forget that eye…]
[Subject: I'm a salesman. I travel a lot for work. One time I went to an office building and accidentally ended up on the third basement floor. As soon as I stepped out, I saw a painting on the wall. It had nothing but an eye – the exact same eye I keep seeing now!]
[Up until now, he had been talking clearly with the researchers, but in the next moment, he suddenly began screaming like a madman.]
[Subject: AAAAAHHHH!!! More eyes!! So many!! They're blocking my sight! I can't see you anymore! Where are you?!]
[He shrieked wildly, thrashing around like a blind man trying to feel his surroundings.]
[The researchers had no choice but to end the interview and restrain him.]
