Chapter 150
"Hello, two little friends~"
After Bai Bai Xuan said this, "Stelle" saw two little girls standing in front of the wall, under the light, staring at her and Bai Bai Xuan.
They were clearly twins, identical from head to toe, with black hair and black eyes, dressed cutely.
"Stelle," however, felt this scene was incomparably eerie.
"Forever."
The twins stared at the two and said, without any emotion.
"Forever."
"What?"
"Stelle" couldn't understand what they meant and tried to interrupt.
The twins, however, were like dolls wound up, their eyes hollow, their bodies stiff, repeating that word.
"Forever."
"Forever..."
"Stelle" only felt her vision go black; when her vision recovered, there was no one at the end of the corridor.
The elegant decor, the classical wooden furniture, the nice patterns on the wallpaper, and the bright lights illuminated the entire corridor.
It was as ordinary as it had been a hundred years ago.
Footsteps sounded, and a faint airflow brought the scent of food.
"What are you standing there for? Are you going to have dinner?"
Dan Heng looked at the two wearing the same black robe, a bit confused, and then heard "Stelle's" detailed explanation of the encounter just now.
Dan Heng held the lunch box in his hand, pinching the bridge of his nose, his cyan eyes turning slightly.
"According to what you said, this probably also belongs to the 'Stellaron' erosion phenomenon on the present world."
"As we know, 'Stellaron' is a magical substance that can cause many mysterious effects on reality, and to this day, the galaxy has not been able to crack its essence, let alone give the principles explaining the numerous phenomena."
[Novel Group 371729119]
"This is a mystery that even Ms. Herta hasn't been able to crack."
Dan Heng explained, seemingly having had a certain understanding of this for a long time.
"Stelle" listened to the explanation, looking back from time to time, ready to give a blow to any potential attacker.
Dan Heng took out a small notebook from his bosom, which contained intelligence, folklore, and strange phenomena he had heard about in Belobog.
"I originally thought these things couldn't be without the component of exaggeration, but since you have both experienced such magical things, we can assume these rumors are true for now."
Dan Heng handed the notebook to Bai Bai Xuan, helping him turn to the page recording these contents.
[The middle section of Second Avenue is gradually extending, in a pattern similar to mitosis, and the surrounding area has been affected, causing spatial anomalies.]
[Hundreds of years ago, in a city whose name has been forgotten, a time anomaly occurred. With the city wall as the boundary, the time inside the city was reversed to the time before the cold wave. There were no living things left inside, including the caravans, motorcades, wild animals that fled there, and anything else that crossed the boundary on that day disappeared.]
[An elementary school and its surrounding area were suddenly subjected to strong magnetic field interference, causing mechanical equipment inside and near the school to be interfered with. A large number of metal objects were witnessed flying toward the school; this phenomenon disappeared after half an hour.]
[After the owner forgot to wind a clock, the hands began to jump irregularly. After confirmation by the Silvermane Guards, this was a password that is rarely used anymore. After decoding, the content was 'Please save me, I am a clock.']
"Places that have suffered from 'Fragmentum erosion' are indeed more prone to supernatural phenomena, but places as frequent as Jarilo-VI and Belobog are really rare."
Dan Heng said, shaking his head and sighing.
"To find another place with so many anomalies, it would only be the planet where the Foundation is located."
Just then.
The narrator's voice sounded on everyone's mobile phones again.
[Foundation Top 100 Anomaly Inventory!]
On the screen, the silent scene lit up, and lines of text emerged.
[Number 92: SCP-343, "God"!]
"God"?
"God"?
The Foundation actually contained "God"?
This is somewhat absurd.
In the cognition of the vast majority of people, Aeons are the strongest in the entire universe.
They may have differences in strength, may plot against each other due to similar paths, may be injured or fall due to fighting each other.
But.
Aeons are Aeons; even for Emanators, their power ultimately originates from Aeons and is constrained by Aeons, and they will never ascend to become new Aeons in their lifetime.
This is the insurmountable chasm between humans and gods.
The Foundation's Administrator can be very powerful, even possessing power equivalent to an Aeon, but there is only one of Him after all. How could the Foundation possess a second existence comparable to an Aeon?
The Foundation members under the Administrator, whether it's the four Apocalypse Doctors, O5 Council members, or Agent Luo Luo Bote, are at most Emanators.
Other Foundation staff, at most, have some peculiar abilities, but they are also mortals.
Humans are extremely fragile; even if an Aeon casts a glance from countless light-years away, they can hardly bear it—at best, their minds will be shaken; at worst, they will die on the spot.
For humans, just staying alive in front of a god requires all their strength, so how can they talk about containing a "God"?
What kind of blasphemy is this!
Crowning the Foundation with the title of "God-slayer" is indisputable.
"SCP-343, its name is... 'God'?"
On the "Astral Express," Himeko saw the simple lines of text on the screen, and her heart was also shaken.
Among reality benders, divinity, and supreme divinity, except for supreme divinity, the other two types have had anomalies appear.
The reality bender named Zhao Zhao Zhao Zena could almost shape reality as she pleased.
Then, what can "God," directly crowned with the name of "God," achieve?
Himeko pondered for a while.
After a few seconds, she lowered her gaze slightly, silently estimating the impact of "God" on the future cosmic situation in her heart.
After thinking for a while, there was no result.
Himeko left the sofa, shook her head helplessly, bent down to pick up her coffee cup, and walked to the coffee machine, waiting for the bitter drink to fill the cup.
"Whoosh—"
"God"... what exactly is it?
Is it an item like "Immortality" with magical abilities?
Is it a creature like "682" with unimaginable vitality and resilience?
Or is it like "Not Good Enough," with the power to create things out of thin air, distort reality, and modify physical rules?
From the initial inventory to now, the names the Foundation has given to all the anomalies that have appeared have been appropriate, without exaggerated or belittling terms.
If we argue from this point.
At least the Foundation's researchers, the O5 Council, and even the Administrator believe that "SCP-343" is just like the "God" people imagine.
"Could it be... omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent?"
Himeko picked up the coffee cup and took a light sip, letting the bitter taste melt on her taste buds, stimulating her central nervous system, activating her thinking, and allowing her to stay awake during sleepy periods.
After "Akivili" fell, the position of the Aeon of "Trailblaze" became vacant, and anyone who practices "Trailblaze" has the possibility of ascending to become a new Aeon of "Trailblaze."
The "Nameless," as an organization that has always followed "Akivili," is the group of people among all living beings who have traveled the furthest on the path of "Trailblaze."
She, Himeko, leading the "Astral Express," can also be considered a leader among the "Nameless" on this path.
There is a possibility of changing "her" to "Him."
Many people outside estimate and are jealous of this.
Himeko walks on the path of "Trailblaze," and the further she goes, the more she knows what kind of distance there is between Aeons and mortals.
Describing it as "a world of difference" is a belittlement of Aeons.
It is better to say it is a difference of two dimensions; Aeons are high above, looking down at the struggling sentient beings with kindness, malice, or indifference.
"SCP-343," or "God," what is He like?
Himeko raised her cup again, but this time no warm liquid fell into her lips—this cup of coffee was finished.
The name of "God" will inevitably bring a fierce impact to the audience.
The miracles brought by "Deus Ex Machina" are no different from divine miracles in the eyes of most people.
Many people believe that if this magical machine is given time, it will ascend to become an Aeon, similar to the supercomputer "Nous."
