SCP-096 Out of Control!

Upon hearing about the nuclear missile, Obadiah finally reacted.

"Damn it! That goddamn yellow-skinned monkey! He actually used my nuclear warhead to blow me up!"

Obadiah cursed furiously, his face turning a deep shade of anger. He couldn't understand why he was targeted with a nuclear weapon. After all, he was just an ordinary man…

Wasn't this using a cannon to kill a mosquito—overkill?

Obadiah never imagined he would die by his own smuggled weapon. After the anger subsided, all that remained was regret, boundless regret.

He hadn't expected Ethan to be so ruthless, using a nuclear warhead for such a swift and ruthless revenge. The time interval was less than half a day.

Aren't Easterners supposed to follow the principle of patience—seeking revenge is never too late, even if it takes ten years?

Why… why was the revenge so fast and so merciless?

One missile costs about a billion dollars.

Of course, that's assuming someone buys it.

Amidst the endless regret and terror, Obadiah was engulfed by the nuclear explosion. The Iron Man's original antagonist was eliminated before he even had a chance to fully appear.

Under the terrifying nuclear blast, Obadiah didn't even leave ashes behind.

One Hour Later

After receiving the news of Obadiah and his men's annihilation, Ethan finally allowed a smile to appear on his cold face.

"Tony, consider this me taking care of one of your enemies. No need to thank me!"

Seeing Ethan's cold smile, Natasha felt a chill run down her spine. This man was too reckless and too insane.

"Do you realize what you've done? That was a nuclear weapon…"

"A weapon banned by all nations!"

Natasha sighed inwardly.

She feared and hoped that Ethan wouldn't become a madman with the power to destroy humanity. A madman was one thing, but a madman with apocalyptic weapons was another.

After the shock wore off, Natasha firmly decided, "No! I must guide him to the right path. Perhaps that is my destiny!"

"Another enemy eliminated, I think we should celebrate!"

Ethan felt it necessary to celebrate, as this was the first enemy he had eliminated since coming to this world. It was quite significant.

This was the first, but definitely not the last.

Ethan was like a hedgehog—once hurt, he retaliated with the most cruel and violent revenge.

Seeing Ethan's childlike joy, Natasha mentally labeled him as someone who liked to retaliate with explosive measures.

When containment objects are contained and can't harm the world, the Foundation itself might be the greatest threat!

Just like Ethan.

The Next Morning

Since it was a celebration, drinking was a must. And drinking too much often leads to problems.

The next morning, Ethan, with a heavy head from the previous night's drinking, got out of bed after moving the arm that was pinned down by Natasha.

Drunk women are troublesome, and a drunk woman with superhuman strength is even more troublesome.

After getting up and feeling somewhat unsteady, Ethan resolved internally.

"I need to prioritize strengthening my physical fitness plan, or I'll be in trouble later."

With this thought, Ethan didn't wake Natasha but went to the living room to turn on the TV after washing up.

Watching the news was a good habit he'd developed since coming to this world.

Well… it had only been three days.

In the land of freedom, the United States, where anything can be broadcasted, sometimes news reports are more thrilling than TV dramas.

"Human Extinction Imminent! In just one night, 3000 people have been killed by a mysterious killer!"

"3000 people have already fallen victim, yet the police still haven't found the killer. Can we still trust the government?"

Seeing these chilling news reports, Ethan, who was previously groggy, suddenly jolted awake.

"Damn it! What the hell? Over 3000 people died in one night? Did SCP-096 get loose?"

Ethan jumped off the sofa and quickly grabbed the satellite phone to contact Dr. S46.

"Doctor, what's happening? What's the situation with SCP-096?"

"Sorry, President, as you guessed, SCP-096 has gone out of control. Its photo has leaked onto the internet, and we can't stop it anymore…"

Dr. S46 responded bitterly.

"Damn it! Who did this? I'll go thank their eighteenth-generation ancestors!"

Ethan couldn't help but curse.

The worst-case scenario had happened.

In this internet-driven 21st century, SCP-096's photo had spread online…

Dr. S46, with some concern, tried to comfort Ethan, "Ahem! President, don't panic. We've calculated, SCP-096's killing speed isn't that fast; it's only about 6000 people a day…"

Ethan: "..."

Only 6000 people a day?

With a twitching corner of his mouth, Ethan silently ended the call.

What now? Should he go contain SCP-096? But the problem is, who knows where SCP-096 is right now?

Ethan sat on the sofa, deep in thought.

SCP-096 will return to its original location after killing those who have seen it.

But what if SCP-096 can't be stopped?

Does that mean SCP-096 won't return to its original location and will keep killing?

How can he just wait for it to come back?
