Mash-up Anime World: Creating the SCP Foundation to Contain Anomalies

Chapter 197: Chapter 195: The Cosmic-Disrupting Foreign Locusts and Funding Natsuki Subaru



Pain Magnet: Could it be the Foundation that's arrived?

Spoilers Are Fun: Impossible! The Foundation has strict regulations. We're an ironclad organization—how could we recklessly plunder other worlds?

Big Sister is Supreme: The Foundation's purpose is to contain anomalies and protect humanity and cognition. Even if we did something in a world, no one would be aware of it.

Portal Daddy: Maybe it's another world-crossing organization. I was once asked to rescue a universe destroyed by outsiders.

Hall Master of the Wangsheng: Whoa, seriously?! Doc, you really went to save a universe before?

Portal Daddy: What else would I have done?

Seeing the messages roll in, Haruto raised an eyebrow.

Another world-traveling organization?

He had originally thought that this "Doctor Strange" had gone to fight a six-Infinity-Stone Ultron. But now it seemed that wasn't the case at all.

Candle Dragon, Fates Master, Lord of Knowledge: Doctor, can you elaborate on these "outsiders"?

Portal Daddy: Sure. I found it strange before, so I recorded a backup video. I'll upload it now.

[Member Portal Daddy has uploaded a recorded video: recording.avi]

Haruto opened the video.

The first thing in sight was a vast void.

A middle-aged man with a cold yet wise expression sat cross-legged in the emptiness. He wore a black robe, and a pendant shaped like an eye hung around his neck, faintly glowing green.

In his hands was a special orb, seemingly containing an entire universe, endlessly replaying a certain battle.

This was Dark Doctor Strange—Stephen Strange, Portal Daddy.

At that moment, a peculiar being, humanoid yet not quite, dressed in an unfamiliar uniform, approached Doctor Strange.

A layer of glass-like separation existed between them.

It was the world barrier.

"I believe I must ask for your help once again. There is a bizarre existence disrupting the entire multiverse," it requested.

Doctor Strange slowly opened his eyes, descended into the void, and seemed somewhat surprised by its plea.

However, he didn't refuse, he simply nodded.

"After all, I have time... almost infinite time."

Then, Doctor Strange followed it, passing through the world barrier into the cracks between countless worlds.

Haruto watched the video intently.

Walking through the void, Doctor Strange was soon led to a particular "mirror." Inside was a complete universe.

Zooming in on the mirror, focusing on Earth, the anomaly quickly became evident. In this universe, Tony Stark was killed during his kidnapping incident.

His industry was taken over by a mysterious man.

(Mysterious here means that even within the pseudo-multiverse, no records of this man existed.)

Before that, Professor X had already been killed by this mysterious man.

Afterward, the man gained psychic abilities, took control of Stark Industries, and developed advanced steel armor and the AI Ultron.

By the time S.H.I.E.L.D. noticed, it was already too late.

Ultron's base code had been embedded with special commands.

When it awakened, just like in the original storyline, it decided to eradicate humanity, but it excluded the mysterious man from its target list.

Furthermore, Ultron's first assault was aimed directly at S.H.I.E.L.D.

S.H.I.E.L.D. fell, and the machine apocalypse began.

Yet, the mysterious man didn't care at all about human extinction. He merely lay low, waiting for something.

Until Loki arrived.

He killed Loki and took the Mind Stone.

With the Mind Stone, he invaded Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and seized control of Jean Grey, who had not yet fully mastered the Phoenix Force.

The Ancient One fought alone but couldn't hold out. Odin, as in the original timeline, perished.

Earth was completely reduced to a wasteland.

And the mysterious man?

He used all of Earth's resources and Stark technology to build a spaceship.

His target: Thanos.

Most terrifying of all, this man seemed to be aware of it.

Like a Six-Stone Ultron, he could seemingly break free from the limits of this universe and disrupt the pseudo-multiverse itself.

Before he could obtain all six stones, it found Strange and sought his help. Afterward, Strange entered that universe.

Yet, when the mysterious man saw Strange, he wasn't surprised at all.

Instead, he laughed.

Then, an intense battle broke out.

Dark Doctor Strange killed the mysterious man.

The video's final moments showed Doctor Strange attempting to read the man's memories to trace his origins.

But he failed.

Doctor Strange's power had reached the level of divinity, a strength rivaling the mightiest beings in a world.

Yet, even so, he could not access the man's memories.

The mysterious man's thoughts and identity seemed to be sealed by a supreme divine force.

The video ended.

Everyone in the chat group finished watching.

Pain Magnet: Shaking in my boots. A single person almost overturned an entire universe, even threatening to break free from its constraints!

Spoilers Are Fun: That mysterious man seemed to have foreknowledge and could steal powers by killing others.

Big Sister is Suprme: Before I joined the Foundation, I might have been terrified. But now that I'm in the Foundation, I can only say: He needs to train more!

Hall Master of the Wangsheng: Whew… When he confidently welcomed Strange, I thought he might actually have a way to fight him.

Portal Daddy: Honestly, if not for the Fate Master's guidance, my strength would have been far weaker.

Portal Daddy: If he had the Phoenix Force plus unrestricted access to three Infinity Stones (Mind, Space, Time), I would have lost with my previous power.

Spoilers Are Fun: This is kind of terrifying… If my previous world was invaded by people like this, it'd probably be destroyed instantly.

Pain Magnet: HELP!

Haruto read through the chat messages and couldn't help but chuckle. When had he ever guided Strange?

Oh… Was it that one time he acted cool and said, "Every unfavorable factor in the world is merely the incompetence of the individual"?

Still, these invaders were quite something.

Their origins were sealed by a supreme divine force. They roamed various worlds, causing chaos and plundering power wherever they went.

This behavior…

Haruto vaguely had a guess.

Staring at Subaru's avatar in the group chat, Haruto gradually formed an idea.

This time, he would let the group members test the waters first, and then the Foundation would intervene.

After all, since this might involve a supreme divine entity, even the Foundation wouldn't be that reckless.

And so…

At this moment, Natsuki Subaru, who had just been crying for help in the group chat, suddenly saw a notification pop up.

[Group Owner "Candle Dragon, Fate's Master, Lord of Knowledge" has sent you a gift.]

Candle Dragon, Fate's Master, Lord of Knowledge: I have a few small items here, consider them a gift to a fellow group member, just a little something for self-protection.

Pain Magnet: Tearing up! Kneeling to the ground.gif

Hall Master of Wangsheng: The boss "small items" are probably extraordinary.

Spoilers Are Fun: @Pain Magnet, start a video! Let us see too!

Blonde Defeated Dog: +1

Big Sister Is Supreme: +1

Pain Magnet: @Candle Dragon, Fate's Master, Lord of Knowledge, can we have a live video feed?

Candle Dragon, Fate's Master, Lord of Knowledge: No problem.

Thus, the group video call started.

Everyone saw a small inn room, where a young man was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Natsuki Subaru.

Not wanting to follow the main storyline, Natsuki Subaru had parted ways with Emilia's group after saving her.

He originally planned to leave the kingdom, but since the borders were sealed, he had no choice but to temporarily stay in this cramped inn.

Luckily, out of gratitude, Emilia had given him some gold coins. Otherwise, Subaru might have ended up sleeping on the streets.

"Alright, I'm going to open the big boss's gift now!"

Subaru rubbed his hands excitedly as he spoke.

Then, with a flash of light—

A series of items appeared before him.

They included: three dark-colored feathers, a small black box, a golden pocket watch, a dazzling longsword, and a mechanical timer.

Looking at all these items, Subaru was a little confused.

What… are these things?

Following the philosophy of if you don't understand, just ask, Subaru inquired in the group chat:

Pain Magnet: Big Boss, what are these?
