Chapter 275

For her at the moment, these were still characters in myths and legends, god-men floating in the sky, not existences related to life that could lead the residents out of their predicament.

"Grandpa Hua, may I ask if the two supreme divinities, the 'Three Brothers of Death' and the 'Primordial Fire,' are also anomalies?"

"God" was not surprised by Clara's reaction.

This child's understanding of the Foundation and anomalies relied entirely on informal retelling, so it was normal for her to have such questions.

Of course, some people would also wonder why, since they are not anomalies and not under the control of the Foundation, they are being told to the public.

"God" and Clara were strolling in the lonely, deserted town, looking for the sister who was lost here.

A thin layer of dust had fallen on the stone slabs and bricks that paved the road; no one had come here for many years.

Traces of decay had also appeared on the wooden doors and windows of the houses, with black spots seeping into the cracks of the split wood.

The voice of "God" echoed here:

"Child, these are the second and third points I am about to talk about:"

"Why the Foundation contains the anomalies of the world, and how to determine the safety level;"

"What is a reality bender, what is divinity, and what is supreme divinity."

……

Reality bender, divinity, supreme divinity... Yanqing changed his sitting posture, feeling that he was about to know some secrets within this universe, and he looked forward to improving his strength by understanding these secrets.

Qingque was also faintly excited; this feeling was like having made a big hand, just waiting for the last card to be revealed.

"Yeah, this girl only knows the Hume Index, and doesn't know what a reality bender is yet."

March 7th blinked, looking at Bai Xuan, expecting the other party to answer this question in advance.

Bai Xuan smiled and replied:

"Those who can bend reality are reality benders."

March 7th puffed out her cheeks:

"I'm saying, we can appropriately have less nonsense literature..."

Bai Xuan pressed the edge of his monocle and did not answer.

It was not that he did not know the essence of reality benders.

In the stories of the Foundation, there was an ordinary 33-year-old office worker who just wanted to live an ordinary life, but his true identity was a reality bender.

He might be the first person to discover the essence of reality benders.

And it was he who started a disaster that could destroy everything.

Its name is, "Stars Do Not Wait"!

……

In Rivet Town, "God" looked at Clara's expectant look and told the story slowly, starting from the origin of the Foundation:

"Our story begins in the ancient times when the Foundation had not yet been established and the Administrator was just the leader of a secret society."

"In the Administrator's hometown, that mysterious planet, the habit of people collecting rare treasures had existed since ancient times, and most of them were things that only appeared in fantasy literature."

"People at that time were accustomed to 'daily' life and took it for granted."

"Therefore, even if only one of these collections was exposed to the public eye, it would cause violent turmoil and public opinion, and some would cause substantial damage."

"So, in order to protect people's safety and understand what these collections were, relevant organizations were established."

"These organizations were naturally not just the Foundation; in the long history, many organizations were either spontaneously formed or artificially established."

"Of course, it was not just the Foundation that discovered these things; in the long history, many organizations were established one after another."

"Although they were not united and even had serious internal conflicts, they had the same purpose: to let people live in a safe and calm 'daily' world."

Countless organizations in history are as numerous as the stars, such as the Serpent's Hand, the Chaos Insurgency, the GOC, etc.

They hold, use, or attempt to create anomalies, either for their own interests or to protect humanity.

Some of them are hostile to the Foundation, some split from the Foundation, and others are partners that the Foundation can trust.

……

Herta nodded approvingly.

Her collection room full of curios was collected and traded from the galaxy, and although there were staff from the "Department of Universal Curios" to help manage and study them, there was no systematic classification method.

Now that she could know what the levels divided by the Foundation meant and how to divide them through the mouth of "God," it had to be said that it was a great help to her.

Of course, the curios collected by Herta, compared to the anomalies contained by the Foundation, had almost zero harmfulness, and the vast majority could be counted as "harmless" toys.

Immediately.

Herta called up her research data on curios.

Most of these files were started by her when she was in high spirits, and after her interest waned or disappeared, she threw the curios to the staff of the "Department of Universal Curios" for follow-up research.

In the follow-up reports, these curios were mostly described as some kind of black box.

Because it can be done, it can be done.

You ask for the principle?

Because, so it is.

Looking at the unsolved mysteries of the curios one by one, Herta sighed and said to herself:

"Next time, I must thoroughly organize the curios."

……

The narration of "God" continued.

"Based on this purpose, the Foundation needs a set of grading standards, giving a complete set of standards based on containment needs, research focus, budget, and other aspects, but with its containment difficulty and intent as the most important factors."

"So, they divided the anomalies into five levels."

Speaking of this, "God" raised his right hand, and his five fingers stretched out.

"Child, you should know four of them."

"God" turned his head to look at Clara and asked softly.

This question was not difficult, and Clara answered immediately without thinking:

"Um, Clara knows."

"They are Safe, Euclid, Keter, and... Thaumiel."

"The fifth one, Clara doesn't know."

Every time Clara said a level, "God" would retract a finger.

After Clara finished speaking, "God" said the name and definition of the last level.

"The last level is Neutralized, meaning 'invalidated'."

"They can't even be called anomalies; they are anomalies that have been intentionally or unintentionally destroyed or failed and are no longer anomalous."

Destroyed or failed...

A somewhat funny picture appeared in Clara's mind.

That was Dr. Kondraki being forced into a dead end by the "Duke";

That was Dr. Kondraki and "SCP-682" (The Hard-to-Destroy Reptile) hurling trash talk at each other;

And Dr. Kondraki and "SCP-682" scheming against each other while charging around.

The vampire named "Duke" probably belongs to Neutralized.

"When an anomaly is neutralized, it loses its research value, and the Foundation doesn't really miss them."

"God" lowered his right hand and began the follow-up explanation.

"Safe, meaning 'safe,' but it doesn't mean this level is really completely harmless."

"They are just easier to contain; put them in an empty box and leave them alone, and basically everything will be fine."

Speaking of this, "God" smiled slightly and looked at Clara.

"For example, me, the current safety level is Safe."

"If I wish, I can become Keter at any time."

……

"Melon, there's a melon!"

"'God' is really honest; from the appearance to now, big news has been coming one after another."

"'God' can become Keter? Did He do something before, that's why He said that?"

"The Keter 'God'... would probably clean up humans like He cleaned up the 'Antimatter Legion'?"

"That's a bit scary, Safe is better."
