Silence.
A stunned, suffocating silence gripped the multiverse.
What unfolded on-screen defied all comprehension—
Some minds shut down entirely.
DC Universe – Watchtower
The Flash's face twisted in horrified awe.
Marvel Universe – S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury's eye twitched.
This wasn't battle.
This was apotheosis.
The Fourth Saint's Gambit
The recorder's voice trembled: "What... is that?"
The agent gasped, half-worshipful: "The Fourth Saint's avatar. Our salvation."
On-screen—
Four galactic spears, each a spiral galaxy compressed into a weapon.
Black holes at their cores slingshotting matter at near-lightspeed.
The audience screamed.
"A galaxy... as a projectile?!"
Then—
Impact.
Wo-Wu shattered like glass.
Their tachyonic forms unmade.
The stone bodhisattva sealed the rifts.
Victory?
The agent laughed—hysterical, broken.
"This is just the beginning."
The Failed Ascension
The screen glitched.
Two figures staggered into view—
The Fifth and Seventh Saints, trapped mid-ascension.
"They've been here all along," the agent whispered. "Frozen at the moment of almost."
The Seventh Saint screamed soundlessly, its body unraveling into arms of sacred glyphs.
It seized the Fifth Saint—
—and ripped its head off.
Blood floated in zero gravity as the corpse dangled beneath the laws of physics.
Silence.
Then—
The vision shifted.
Behind the Fifth Saint's corpse—
A face.
The Screaming Demon.
The Demon Revealed
The agent's voice turned funereal:
"Wrinkles of void pulse on its mad face. Age spots swell with pus."
"It emits no radiation. No magnetic field. Because it is... everything."
"Its tonsils contain all possible futures."
"We all become that face."
On-screen—
Countless faces pressed against reality, screaming.
[Or forget by luck, only to be dragged back by the failed.]
[The Screaming Demon—those twisted failures ARE the anomalies in physics.]
[Can't you see? CAN'T YOU SEE?!]
The agent grabbed a scientist, howling:
"Do we die to the Wo-Wu? Or become the Demon?!"
His laughter filled the screen—
—then cut to black.
The Aftermath
[SCP-CN-████ Incident Log]
Agent [REDACTED] illegally obtained "Degraded Ascension" from GOI-3088.
Attempted to accelerate a city to lightspeed via SCP-3930 ("The Screaming Demon's Foothold").
[Mission: Terminate Rogue Agent]
The screen shifted to IX—
The Aeon of Nihility, a shifting void.
Its "body" flickered unnaturally.
Even a being that embraced oblivion now recoiled.
[Objective: Enter SCP-3930. Prevent the agent's ascension.]
The chat group erupted:
"IX vs. the Screaming Demon? This is suicide!"
"The Foundation wants it dead!"
"No—they want to see which is more nothing."
