"In fact, the Devourer of Worlds has been confirmed as an inferior projection of the Scarlet King."
The moment these words were spoken—
Silence.
Then, the multiverse exploded.
"WTF?! The Devourer is just a lesser projection of the Scarlet King?!"
"If even a projection is a Supreme Ontology, then what the hell is the Scarlet King?!"
"I—I can't even process this. A sealed projection can trigger an XK-Class apocalypse. If the Scarlet King Himself appeared—"
The audience was stunned.
On-screen, Danzo and Homelander stood frozen for a long moment before finally snapping back to reality.
Danzo's face twisted into something ghastly.
Gritting his teeth, he forced out the question gnawing at his mind:
"That ritual… Was it meant to appease the Devourer—or the Scarlet King?"
Even uttering the name made his voice drop to a whisper, as if afraid of drawing His gaze.
Homelander's ears perked up.
The answer would define the true horror of their mission.
But Dr. Clef only smiled—that Cheshire grin of his—and looked at them with something dangerously close to pity.
Their throats went dry.
Then came the bombshell:
"Procedure 220-Kalabash is completely useless."
"WHAT?!"
Danzo stumbled back, face cycling between pale and flushed.
Jackie Chan Adventures – Section 13
Uncle adjusted his glasses, muttering, "As I suspected."
The moment he learned the Devourer was a lesser aspect of the Scarlet King, he'd guessed the truth:
A being of that magnitude wouldn't deign to notice human rituals.
The Scarlet King wasn't like the Deer, a mindless force of nature.
He was an idea.
A writhing anomaly of hatred against order itself.
As for the Devourer?
If ancient mystics had already bound it with seven chains, what purpose did a fake ritual serve?
Back on Screen – Danzo's Breakdown
"If it's useless, then why—"
"Morale."
Clef didn't hesitate.
"We fabricated 'special containment measures' to maintain the illusion—ritualistic magic, religious motifs, references to known anomalies… even memes about nukes 'working' on SCPs."
With each word, the color drained from their faces.
Danzo looked haunted.
"220-Kalabash has zero containment value. It exists solely to ease staff anxiety until a real solution is found."
Silence.
Danzo closed his eyes.
The mission was hopeless.
If even the Devourer was beyond them, how could they face the Scarlet King?
The Mission (Or Farce?)
"Oh, right—your task." Clef feigned recollection.
"Enter SCP-2317's chamber. Check the seventh chain."
Danzo & Homelander: "..."
Clef, ignoring their despair:
"All evidence suggests total containment failure within this century. Average interval: 30 years. Every repair attempt has failed."
"So… go take a look."
A pause. Then, dryly:
"Not that it'll matter."
The chat group erupted in disbelief.
Danzo nearly coughed blood.
The Descent Into Hell
The scene shifted.
Before them stood a massive stone door, ancient and foreboding, embedded in what looked like a cellar wall.
The gateway to SCP-2317's prison.
Creak—
The door groaned open.
Danzo and Homelander stepped through—
—and found themselves on an endless salt flat.
The sky hung low, clouds oppressive.
At the center loomed seven pillars, arranged in a perfect ring.
Six were shattered.
The last stood barely intact.
A yawning void gaped at the base of the central pillar—a staircase descending into absolute darkness.
Just gazing at it made souls tremble.
Step.
Step.
Their footsteps echoed like funeral drums.

Naruto World
Sasuke watched, conflicted.
Part of him reveled in Danzo's terror.
Another dreaded what came next.
The Boys Universe
Even Homelander's usual bravado was gone.
His heat vision? Flight? Worthless.
Deep, for once, spoke for everyone:
"I hate the guy… but I hope that chain holds."
The Devourer Revealed
Then—
It.
A mountainous silhouette, seated like a dark god.
Black scales.
Horned, jawless face.
Six chains dangled, broken.
The seventh strained—one thread from snapping.
Danzo froze.
His mind shattered.
What he saw wasn't the Devourer—
But the Scarlet King's gaze.
Seven chains. Seven brides. Seven seals.
The number burned into his soul.
His sanity unraveled—
Until a snap pulled him back.
Clef's voice, detached:
"Task complete."
Site-0 – Director's Observation
Chu Yun arched a brow.
"He actually saw the Scarlet King through the Devourer?"
A chuckle.
"No—more like the King glanced at him by accident."
"One look nearly erased him. Truly, a Supreme Ontology."
The Foundation had once tried to box the universe.
The Scarlet King was reality's backlash.
The Hanged King. The Seventh Angle.
All bore His will.
Uncontained, because He was containment.
Rewards & Ominous Foreshadowing

Chu Yun smirked.
"A Supreme's favor? Not bad."
Then—his expression froze.
A presence.
Something worse.
Eighth Recruitment – The Horror Continues
[Announcement: Eighth recruitment initiated!]
[Selected Universe: Honkai Star Rail]

The multiverse held its breath.
Another Aeon?
Then… the target this time—
Another Supreme Ontology?
Dread spread like plague.
