Chapter 143
The stars do not wait.
Undoubtedly, as the end of the world, this kind of doomsday is absolute.
For a time, countless people in the heavens and the worlds began to discuss it.
The whole world was razed to the desert by his blank power.
GOC、AWCY、Library, Broken God, Cain and Abel, Pangloss, Stag、SCP-343. Isabel… Everything added together is insignificant in front of what is missing.
This is the final doomsday
“What a terrible doomsday…What on earth happened?”
“It is impossible to confirm which one is stronger, the missing thing or the three Yamas.”
“The Three Yamas did not seem to have taken any action”
“But the cursed old man finally met his end.”
“From this point of view, at least the missing things have the space to interfere with this power. From this point of view, it is already very exaggerated.”
At least.
From the current point of view, the Three Yamas are almost one of the strongest existences in the Foundation world.
Although it is impossible to determine whether there are other stronger monsters in the Foundation.
But from this point of view at the moment.
At least the status of the Three Yamas in the Foundation world is also exceptionally high.
Even the Primordial Fire cannot be compared.
For a while.
People can’t help but become more and more curious.
Behind the missing things, what kind of existence will be counted next?
It shouldn’t be possible to bring out the Three Yamas all at once, right?
Fortunately.
At this time, the light curtain quickly lit up, revealing a brand new picture. The starlight skillfully turned into words, under the gaze of everyone.
Accompanied by a leisurely voice, it resounded throughout the world
【Behind the missing is the blank】
【But as the ultimate doomsday, there are other things that can be compared to it.】
【Among them, one of the items listed in SCP-001 exists】
【Crimson King】
【The disaster it can bring is no less than the missing things.】
【In fact, this is the greatest malice! 】
The Crimson King.
From the beginning of the Foundation to now.
Undoubtedly, he is one of the beings that appear the most.
Whether it is the Devourer of Worlds, or the story about the Three Yamas and other series, there have been traces of the Crimson King.
When I saw that I was going to introduce this existence, I was stunned for a moment….The audiences in the heavens and the worlds were all excited.
They all turned their eyes to the screen.
The words below revealed information like text.
【Item #: SCP-001 (The Scarlet King)】
【Object Class: KeterSafe】
【Special Containment Procedures: Following recent investigation by Dr. Robert Montauk, no containment action is currently required for SCP-001.】
【It is functionally self-contained】
【Any Foundation intervention could irreversibly destroy or alter this containment.】
【Aside from related anomalies already contained by the Foundation, Foundation personnel are not to access any new documentation related to SCP-001.】
【Description: SCP-001 is the entity commonly known as the Crimson KingSCP-001 currently exists in multiple parallel dimensions at the same time and cannot enter the main dimension space】
【However, it is believed that it has been attempting to enter the main dimension for thousands of years, less than 300 years.SCP-The physical, psychological, and conceptual properties of 001 are unknown to the Foundation.】
【It continues to exert a strong influence on several people and events in the main dimension.】
【Confirmation of SCP-001’s existence】
【This represents an ongoing but temporarily suspended Tashkent-class cross-pollination scenario.】
【Once SCP-001 enters the main timeline, normalcy will be irreversibly altered】
【SCP-001 Expand Containment】
【It is not necessary to be the top priority】
【ANY ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE SCARY KING’S CLASSIFICATION OR OBJECT CLASS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY EXPUNGED FROM THE O5 COUNCIL.】
【SCP-001 is widely mentioned in the art and oral history of a large number of human and non-human civilizations throughout the universe, including those that have never had any contact with each other.】
【These records generally describe it as a large red creature.】
【Wearing a golden crown or other headdress symbolizing royal power】
【The name for SCP-001 varies but most contain two elements: a word representing imperial power combined with a word representing the color red.】
【If a civilization without the concept of red follows this naming rule】
【Will use colors equivalent to the concept of red】
【Most of the staff】
【Aside from personnel specializing in handling anomalies related to SCP-001, no one is aware of this entity.】
【In accordance with SCP-2317’s containment procedures, Level 4 personnel 2 are to be informed that SCP-2317 is in fact SCP-001, but are not to be told whether this is true.】
【However, several members of the parliament strongly supported this hypothesis.】
【However】
【Due to the multidimensional nature of SCP-001】
【SCP-2317 may be just one aspect of SCP-001】
【It is unknown when the Crimson King was discovered.】
【As much of the documentation regarding the Foundation’s origins was lost during the”Growling Coup” of 1889, a complete reconstruction of these events is not possible.】
【However, over the years, multiple organizations have emerged that are dedicated to bringing SCP-001 into the main dimension.】
【The most recent is”Son of the Scarlet King”】
【The Children of the Scarlet King are a number of independent churches, organizations, or movements.】
【Related to an entity known as the”Crimson King”】
【Their specific doctrines vary between organizations.】
【The origins of the Crimson Sons are difficult to trace; worship of the Scarlet King has been recorded as early as 50,000 BCE, but the elements of the modern cult first appeared during the early Daevite Empire.】
【Around 12,000 BC, as a state religion at the time】
【Furthermore, while certain sects can be traced back to the Order, many factions have developed independently, even in civilizations with no known contact with the Daevites.】
【Many of these traditions seem to have been】
【No mention of the Crimson King】
【The mainstream view of the Foundation is that】
【Individual sects emerge as a result of certain individuals or subcultures coming into contact with the Scarlet King. Under the right conditions, the Scarlet King will exert a psionic influence on the point of contact.】
【Implanting a memetic philosophical framework】
【This may result in a merger of the Crimson Sons sect.】
【If this is indeed the case】
【This means that as long as the Crimson King is still active, the Crimson Sons cannot be completely eliminated.】
【The most recent Crimson Son】
【Destroyed in a joint GOC-SCP operation in January 2018】
【Its former leader Spivak is currently in Foundation custody】
【To uncover the secrets behind the Crimson King】
【Dr. Robert Montauk】
【It was decided to conduct a special interrogation record of Spivak, which was named”Blood”】
The screen changed.
An interrogation room appeared in the eyes of the heavens and the worlds.
Spivak, a middle-aged man in prison clothes, stared coldly at the doctor in front of him.
“It’s you again, Dr. Montauk.”
“I don’t know what your people want from me.”
He said calmly.
In response, Dr. Montauk shrugged.
“Say hello to you too”
“Sorry to come to you again, I think this is stupid too”
“But we want your answer.”
Hearing this, Spivak looked at him coldly.
“It’s been, maybe – a few weeks, a few months?”
“You dragged me here, into your interview room, and asked me endless questions”
“It’s either you or one of your followers.”
Dr. Montauk sighed and spread his hands helplessly.
“I’m sorry if you feel uncomfortable.”
“This is not my intention, but it’s too difficult to understand everything”
“Did the guards mishandle you in any way?
Spivak smiled.
He shook his head, as if in a mocking tone.
“of course not”
“I have no complaints, but their eyes look as cold as death.
Dr. Montauk shook his head slightly and continued
“if you want”
“I can reassign someone else to manage your security.”
“We’ve been a bit short on staff lately, and a lot of our best people are gone.”
“And then there are the paperwork, the endless oversights.
Spivak shook his head slightly. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“You are different than I expected.”
“I’ve heard of what you did, the Montauk procedure.”
Dr. Montauk sighed.
“I just did what was necessary as a Foundation researcher.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man chuckled.
“Yes”
“This is very much like the Foundation, everything they do is justified by necessity.”
“You see the world, the people walking in it, living lives that can only be related to the aggregate, universal laws of society and physics.”
“Everything must conform to these laws, and everything outside of them must be contained.”
“Very simple.”
Dr. Montauk frowned.
“If you worked here you wouldn’t say that.”
Spivak said calmly.
“Some of us call you evil, I don’t mind that.”
“I heard I’m a difficult person.”[]
“Too”mysterious”, some people even call me”erratic”, what do you think?”
Dr. Montauk stared at the middle-aged man
“Thanks for the compliment”
“And to be honest with you, I don’t think you are what I expected”
“I don’t think I would call you erratic”
“Your mind may be in the clouds, but you seem quite proud of it, which is very annoying.”
“But taking a step back, I am not as proud as some of the arrogant cultists who came here before, so I think at least I can be thankful.”
“Now, please tell me what the overall purpose of [Son of the Crimson King] is.”
When he finished speaking
, Spivak was silent for a moment and shook his head.
“My son is dead, there is nothing to tell you”
“If you want to hear it from my own mouth”
“Then I guess you could say our purpose is to save the world”
“Bringing the Crimson King to life”
“But you should know this.”
Hearing this,
Dr. Montauk frowned and continued to ask in a deep voice
“How can this save the world?
Spivak raised his eyebrows and stared ahead with cold eyes.
“You wiped out our society, and I’m sure you know what went on inside.”
“We worship the king as if he were Satan or some ancient evil god”
“My inner circle regards blasphemy as the ultimate sacredness”
“We failed. You and the Book Burners destroyed us. It’s over.”
Hearing this,
Dr. Montauk was slightly stunned, then asked curiously:
“You seem a little too calm when you talk about the destruction of your life’s work.
Spivak shrugged.
“What else can I do?”
Dr. Montauk shook his head slightly and looked at the man in front of him.
“I want to know, why do you call the Global Occult Coalition the Book Burners?”
“Are you and your organization related to the Serpent’s Hand?”
Spivak hesitated and sighed softly.
“Yes, we have connections to the Serpent’s Hand. Most of us have been there.”
“Of course, if you ask them, they won’t admit that we”
“They are not monsters like us.”
“You know. Their purpose is to find miracles, but they can’t see miracles in the king, so they completely deny us.”
“But they know that, in the end, they need us.”
Dr. Montauk was curious when he heard this.
“They need you? Why?”
This is something I have never heard before.
Spivak put his hand on the table, touched his chin and pondered.
“And there is a reason why we live”
“We attacked the library, we fought them, we clashed with them. They said more evil things to us than you do.”
“But they never did.”
“They’re just as bad as you jailers, in their own way.”
“Same segmentation, same single goal”
“Their existence has no solid foundation”
“A void in history”
“They were born at the same time as you, and you are more similar than you think.”
Dr. Montauk’s eyes widened when he heard this.
“This is impossible. The Serpent’s Hand exists long before any records of the Foundation.——”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the middle-aged man.
Spivak said coldly
“No, no, you missed the point.”
“The Library has always existed, yes, but the Serpent Hand has not.”
“The snake hand is new, just like you.”
“Do you think anyone cared about miracles in the past?”
“No one cares about miracles, they care about food, family and blood.”
Dr. Montauk was a little confused.
“What does this mean?”
Spivak thought, stroking his chin with some regret.
“What I mean is… ah, you won’t understand even if I tell you”
“But the Hand understands, and I think even the Bookburners understand, in their own way.”
“But the Serpent’s Hand is afraid”
“They want to erase us, forget us”
“We are what they should be but can never be.”
Dr. Montauk’s tone became a little annoyed when he heard the Riddler’s answer.
“Look, I’m trying to make you feel comfortable, but it’s a give and take.”
“You keep telling mysterious riddles”
“I want answers.”
Spivak shook his head and sighed.
“No, I can’t tell you everything.”
“You don’t treat this intelligence properly; you treat it as scientific fact; something to be absorbed, understood, and put into context.”
“Why do you want to know all this?”
Dr. Montauk clenched his fists and stared at Spivak.
“What’s wrong with that?!”
“I shouldn’t tell you, but… ah, screw it!”
“I’m fed up, I’ve been working on SCP-001 for twenty years, and after developing the program, I’ve been the project leader for nearly nine years!”
“I see the Crimson King everywhere I go, but nothing is ever said about him!”
“Some kind of horned demon? A mystical blood god? They are all so small and so plain.”
“The Foundation has changed in the past decade!”
“You have to understand. We have faced conceptual demons, residents of style, sevenfold destroyers, all of which are far worse than human sacrifice to the ancient gods.”
“But this, behind everything, I see a smile in the fire”
“That horror, that ancient horror lingers!”
“Even though I’ve seen far simpler, far more subtle horrors tearing the world apart every day, I just want to figure out what this is!”
“Peel off the layers of fog and uncover contradictory legends one after another”
“Find out what He is!”.
