Chapter 209 209 — Deus Ex Machina? A Malfunctioning Destroyer — A Keter-Class Star Destroyer!
Inside the Stark Industries Tower, tension filled the entire room. Stark stared at the holographic projection in front of him, repeating the words he had just heard from the Foundation agent.
"We can't possibly contain this thing!"
Hearing those words again, Stark let out a bitter, helpless laugh.
"This has to be the worst thing a Foundation agent could say," he sighed.
For years, Stark believed the Foundation was nearly unstoppable. They were the shadow wall behind the world, containing anomalies beyond human understanding. They held back horrors like SCP-3000 and SCP-2317—entities Stark hoped he would never encounter in person.
But now… there was something even worse.
SCP-001.
And this footage was from the last century. That fact alone made Stark's heart feel heavier.
Colonel Rhodes looked at Stark, uncertainty clouding his expression.
"If that thing showed up back then… how did they even stop it?"
Both men exchanged uneasy looks and turned their eyes back to the massive floating screen.

Another Addendum Appears
A new document slid into view:
[Addendum 001.07: Interview with GOC Lieutenant "Returner"]
Below the title was a damaged, blurry black-and-white photograph. The image showed what looked like a small mountainside village.
And towering above the mountain…
A monstrous figure the size of a god.
Even though the photo was extremely fuzzy, everyone watching instantly recognized the silhouette.
SCP-001.
The same mechanical horror that had vanished earlier… now gigantic, towering over mountains.

Reactions Across the World
Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. command center:
"Damn it…"
Natasha whispered, eyes wide with fear.
"It hasn't even been that long, and it's grown to that size?"
Nick Fury's face hardened.
The pressure radiating from SCP-001 even through a photograph felt suffocating.
"In terms of size… this thing's even bigger than the Devourer of Worlds," Fury muttered.
"How are we supposed to contain something like that…?"
Before anyone could answer, the footage continued.

The GOC's Mysterious Claim
A strange excerpt appeared on the screen:
"They say the GOC killed God."
Silence swallowed the live chat.
Then chaos erupted.
"WHAT? The GOC killed WHAT?!"
"No way the Coalition is stronger than the Foundation!"
"Is SCP-001 the thing they 'killed'??"
"Impossible… unless… something else did the killing."
But the document continued:
"During the apocalypse of '43, the Foundation could only watch as the GOC saved the world."
Inside Stark Tower, Rhodey blinked in disbelief.
"What? The Foundation just watched?"
Stark's voice cracked with confusion.
"Since when is the GOC the strongest group in the supernatural world?"
He leaned forward as the next lines appeared.

The "Metaphorical Gun"
The GOC lieutenant described something bizarre:
A weapon found on an island near Greece
Everyone who saw it received amnestics
Even he himself couldn't remember most of what happened
Entire continents were destroyed during the fight
Maps of the world had changed after the event
And SCP-001… begged them to kill it
"We stood before an angry, vengeful god, and all it did was beg us to kill it."
That single line shook every viewer.
At Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One read the line out loud, then froze.
A terrifying thought struck her.
"Could it be… SCP-001 wanted to die?"
Even for a sorcerer who had seen countless horrors, this possibility was too extreme.
Why would a god-like entity seek its own destruction?

Recovered Footage Begins
The screen blacked out for a moment.
Then loud static hissed across the projection as a new header appeared:
[Addendum 001.08 – Recovered Video Footage]
Everyone fell silent instantly.
Could this finally be the true appearance of SCP-001?
The video started shakily.
---
A Town in Ruins
A deafening explosion echoed through the footage.
The camera shook violently.
Buildings collapsed.
Flames burst upward.
The ground shook like an earthquake.
Then the mountain behind the town shattered.
From the smoke…
A colossal mechanical titan rose.
A monster composed of gears, screws, pistons, and steel—its massive body held together by impossible engineering—surged upward.
The sight was horrifying.
Millions watching the livestream felt the same crushing fear at the exact same moment.

Description of the Beast
SCP-001 moved slowly—but every movement resembled a planet shifting in space.
It didn't walk.
It didn't crawl.
It rolled, powered by the rotation of countless gears, like a living steel serpent.
In its chest burned a massive furnace—a flaming hellfire core.
Every few seconds, flames erupted outward.
It swallowed entire chunks of earth.
It devoured mountains, trees, rocks—anything it encountered.
The moment it reached a northern mountain, it didn't go around it—
It simply consumed the entire mountain.
Then it extended a massive arm, scooped up an entire village, and shoved every building, every person, every piece of land into its burning core.
Men, women, families—entire lives—vanished into iron jaws.
The live chat cried out in horror.
---
A Voice Heard in the Mind
Suddenly…
He screamed.
Not with mechanical noise.
Not with metal grinding.
But directly into the minds of every living being.
The howl was deafening inside their souls.
Every viewer froze.
Every superhero felt cold sweat drip down their back.
Even gods trembled.
---
Then—The Sky Breaks Open
Just as panic surged in the chat…
BOOM!
A blinding flash lit up the sky.
Air-raid sirens blared.
Thunder exploded overhead.
The clouds above SCP-001 split apart—
And a colossal shadow appeared in the heavens.
A massive, alien structure descended through the storm clouds.
James, watching from the ground, couldn't help but shout:
"SCP-2399?!"
---
The Arrival of SCP-2399
Everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. was stunned.
Another anomaly? Now?
Natasha whispered, horrified:
"Please tell me this thing isn't here to destroy humanity…"
One SCP-001 was enough to kill the world.
Now a second anomaly—a Keter-class alien warship—had arrived?
Nick Fury stared intensely at the descending titan.
Its massive shape made him think of only one word:
"…weapons."
The screen displayed SCP-2399's dossier:
---
SCP-2399 — The Destroyer in Fault
Object Class: Keter
Description:
SCP-2399 is an alien warship that crashed on Jupiter in 1665.
It has been slowly repairing itself for centuries.
Its antimatter weapons are so powerful that their attacks created Jupiter's Great Red Spot.
---
The World Falls Into Silence
Two cosmic-level SCP threats…
appearing in the same moment…
Everyone watching felt the same thing:
This was no longer a containment story.
This was annihilation.
And the worst part?
This was footage from the past.
Which meant—
Something even worse was still coming.
