Chapter 7

Marvel Asgard

"Haha, Father, this creature is quite interesting. How about I capture it and bring it to you as a trophy? After all, Midgard is our realm, and its people need us."

Thor said boldly, eager to showcase his kingly heroism in rescuing civilians.

As for SCP-173's traits, he wasn't afraid. No matter how tough it was, could it be tougher than the Mjolnir forged from the heart of a dying star?

If it could move instantly, he would simply keep his eyes open with tape.

He couldn't believe that he, the mighty Thor, couldn't break this thing!

"Wait, Thor! Don't act recklessly."

Odin scolded displeasingly.

To him, as long as the Ancient One on Earth hadn't acted, there was no need for concern.

While everyone watched the screen, they didn't notice Loki glancing absentmindedly in another direction, seemingly waiting for something.

Meanwhile, a flood of comments scrolled across the screen from Nick Fury.

Nick Fury: "Shit! How do we destroy this thing? Do we need to use missiles?"

Diana: "I think you shouldn't do that. It would only increase the casualty range."

Nick Fury: "Then what do you suggest? And who are you?"

Diana: "You should tell me who you are and what S.H.I.E.L.D. is first, but that's not the point. Since this thing can't be destroyed, maybe it can be contained."

Nick Fury: "Contain it? How do you contain something like this?"

Loki: "Foolish human, you already know how this SCP-173 moves, and you're still asking such a question?"

Nick Fury: "Sight! Are you saying we need to monitor it 24/7?"

Everyone felt a chill at this idea.

Having someone constantly watching this creature would be uncomfortable. Even if a few people watched together, what if they all blinked at the same time? It would be a disaster.

Bruce Wayne: "Don't forget you can use surveillance cameras. If the condition is visual contact, then watching it through cameras might work too."

Nick Fury took a deep breath. Since there was no way to destroy it, this would have to do. He picked up the intercom and issued orders.

"Natasha, Clinton, find a way to move this thing to the adjacent lab."

Natasha was puzzled. How could they move it without letting it move itself?

"I'll try to lift it. Natasha, don't blink."

Clinton decided to try lifting SCP-173 himself.

"Ugh! It's so heavy!"

Clinton used all his strength but could only move SCP-173 slightly.

Natasha noticed a small cart nearby. She maintained her gaze on SCP-173 as she grabbed the cart, then helped Clinton topple SCP-173 onto it. Together, they pushed it towards the nearest lab.

The process was nerve-wracking. Neither dared to look away, forcing their eyelids open to prevent SCP-173 from moving.

Once they placed SCP-173 in the lab, they quickly retreated, keeping their eyes on it the entire time.

By now, Fury and Hill had reached the control room. Everyone watched SCP-173 via surveillance, remembering the previous carnage and not daring to be careless.

"Close the lab door and initiate the highest level of lockdown."

Nick Fury ordered, taking a deep breath. Now they would see if viewing SCP-173 through cameras would prevent it from moving.

Clinton pressed a button, sealing the lab door.

As the door shut, everyone tensed, watching their surroundings, fearing SCP-173 would teleport out. Fortunately, this didn't happen.

SCP-173 remained motionless in the lab, watched by the cameras.

Seeing this, everyone in the control room sighed in relief, some even closing their eyes.

At that moment, they realized their mistake and quickly opened their eyes.

"Bang!"

A loud crash echoed through the monitors, as if hitting everyone's hearts.

They looked closely. SCP-173 was no longer in its original spot!

"What the hell! Where did it go? Why did everyone look away?"

Nick Fury was furious. If SCP-173 escaped, it would be a huge problem!

"Director, it's in the corner!"

Hill pointed at the screen.

Everyone looked and saw SCP-173 standing still in the room's corner.

Relieved, they continued watching, not daring to blink.

"How sturdy is this lab?"

Nick Fury asked worriedly.

"Director, it's built with space station materials, strong enough to withstand missile strikes."

Another staff member replied.

"Good. Arrange shifts to monitor this creature. No one should take their eyes off it. Blink alternately with a warning."

"And arrange for scientists to study this being!"

Nick Fury issued commands, organizing the response.

SCP-173's terrifying abilities left him uneasy.

Fortunately, its weakness was clear, making containment feasible.

"Damn, who released this monster?"

Nick Fury couldn't understand where this creature came from. Investigating security footage, he found it had appeared instantly, unnoticed.

"Could it be that screen?"

Nick Fury hurried back to his office to look at the screen. Who had created it, and was it responsible for releasing the creature?

The chat was in chaos.

Naruto: "This monster isn't that great. If I use Shadow Clone Jutsu, it can't do anything to me."

Loki: "You can clone yourself with magic?"

Naruto: "Magic? No, it's ninjutsu."

Luffy: "Ninjutsu? You're a ninja? That's so cool!"

Naruto: "Thanks for the compliment."

Bruce Wayne: "A ninja? Shadow Clone?"

Bruce was puzzled. He had joined the League of Shadows, the most powerful ninja group, but had never heard of Shadow Clones.

Maybe it was just a trick with two people.

And what did Loki mean by magic?

Luffy: "This monster is strange. Playing Red Light, Green Light with it would be thrilling."

Chopper: "Luffy! Please don't say such things. Playing with this thing, you could lose your head!"

Luffy: "I'm made of rubber. My neck can't be twisted."

Chopper: "That's true."

Naruto: "Rubber? What do you mean?"

Luffy: "I'm a rubber man. Even my bones are rubber, so my neck can't be twisted."

Bruce Wayne: "That's impossible. Humans can't turn into rubber."

Luffy: "I ate a Devil Fruit."

A series of question marks followed Luffy's message.

Gen: "Devil Fruit? What's that?"

Mordo: "A fruit of the devil? Eating it turns you into rubber? That's a curse!"

Zoro: "It's kind of a curse. You gain power but lose the ability to swim."

Mordo: "What? How does that make sense?"

Sanji: "Are you from the countryside? Eating a Devil Fruit gives you powers. Isn't that common knowledge? How do you not know this?"

Thor: "What kind of common knowledge is that? Devil Fruits are disgusting. Who would eat them for no reason?"

Sengoku: "What are you all talking about? The important thing is what S.H.I.E.L.D. is. Is it a Revolutionary Army organization or affiliated with pirates?"

Sengoku: "As long as the Navy is here, don't think about doing anything to this world!"
