Konoha: The Foundation's revelation at the outset shocks the world.

After listening to what PoI-3172 said through the light screen,

Naruto and the others looked at each other, unsure of how to bring it up.

For a moment, I didn't know how to explain this.

To prevent the Crimson King from descending, something evil must happen in this world.

But didn't the Crimson King descend into this world because of hatred?

For a moment, Naruto and the others were filled with deep confusion.

...

Looking at the content on the light screen,

The Toad Sage, however, grasped a different point.

"It seems that Dr. Montauk really has a grudge against the Crimson Lord. And who is that girl they're talking about? Is she 231-7?"

According to PoI-3172, that program should be Montauk's plan.

He said Montauk's plan was purely out of hatred, and his treatment of the girl was brutal.

But this behavior is effective. What makes it effective?

They effectively prevented the Crimson King from descending upon this world.

Does this mean that hatred is truly necessary to prevent the Crimson King from descending upon the world?

It requires hatred and revenge, and only brutality can stop it?

The Toad Sage took a deep drag on his cigarette, his eyes filled with solemnity.

Meanwhile, PoI-3172's narration on the screen continued.

Do you know why the Crimson King exists?

In response to PoI-3172's inquiry, Dr. Montauk tentatively replied:

"Because of modernity and pre-present—"

However, before he could finish speaking, PoI-3172 interrupted him directly.

"No! Because the SCP Foundation exists."

Upon hearing this, not only was Dr. Montauk completely stunned,

Even the people of the ninja world were completely dumbfounded on the spot.

The Crimson King exists because of the Containment Facility? Don't be ridiculous!

The Containment Facility and the Crimson King are practically mortal enemies!

How could the Crimson King exist because of the existence of the containment facility?

At this moment, PoI-3172 was still talking to itself on the screen.

“Modernity helped to shape him, to define the contours of his fury, but he became concrete only when modernity began to interfere with his kingdom.”

"Modernity appears in your form. You came first. You were the first to emerge, to block, categorize, and nail down anything that does not conform to your Enlightenment philosophy of reason."

"Everything must be understood, put into context, reduced from the demonic and the spiritual to simple, understandable logic and matter."

"It's disgusting, and it can't stay that way forever. Something has to be given. Something has to arise as an opposition."

Looking at the content on the light screen,

An unusual light flickered in the Toad Sage's eyes.

"Could it be that the containment facilities' sealing of those behaviors they considered abnormal indirectly contributed to the Crimson King's growth?"

Shaking his head, the Toad Master felt that his idea was far too insane.

The conversation between the two continued within the light screen.

Dr. Montauk looked at PoI-3172 in front of him and slowly began to speak:

"Those rituals. They all have corresponding rituals."

PoI-3172 took a deep breath, smiled, and shook his head, saying:

“Without this tension, King cannot exist. We need these symbols of modernity, these somber scenes, to create the initial crack. This is the perfect plan.”

Looking at Dr. Montauk, who was facing PoI-3172, he chuckled softly and slowly spoke:

“But you failed.”

"Yes."

After a few seconds of pause,

PoI-3172 spoke slowly, but this time, his expression showed some excitement.

"Listen Robert, just listen."

"Now you know what the Crimson King is."

"He is a whirling creation, from many different times, throughout all the worlds."

"It is the memory of a lost world, the memory of a pre-modern world, manifested as hatred of modernity, hatred of this new humanity and cynicism that marks our daily existence."

"Forged from the perfect balance between irreconcilable anomalies and our broken minds, it is an entity created by overwhelming, inescapable tension, the old world's howl in the face of a cold, gray, meaningless new world."

"He is the revenge of our lost past. He is the ancient ideals in a world that has abandoned them yet blindly believes in them."

Silence, deathly silence.

The entire ninja world fell into a silence as if death had descended.

They didn't know how to speak, they didn't know how to explain this situation.

Modern hatred, lost revenge, a blind world.

Everything was so disordered and chaotic.

After thinking deeply for a long time, Dr. Montauk raised his eyes and looked at PoI-3172.

"He embodies the tension between modernity and premodernity."

"Yes. He is a fault line between two incompatible worlds, and ultimately he can only destroy them both. That is the right path."

After pausing for a few seconds, seemingly deep in thought, Dr. Montauk asked softly:

What do we do now?

A faint smile appeared on Dr. Montauk's face as he faced PoI-3172.

“Shoot me, let them take my body and go back to your life.”

"It won't be long before the king arrives."

“You can try to stop it, but it won’t work.”

"The foundation has too many things that are in grave danger, and too many things that remain in the spiritual sanctuary of the foundation."

"They will envelop the world in a concrete grey, and from the ashes the king will rise, and his sons will not even have to lift a finger."

At this point, the light curtain in the sky slowly dimmed.

However, the ninja world remained silent, with everyone trying to recall what the two people on the screen had said.

For ordinary people in the ninja world

The conversation between the two could be described as extremely chaotic and disordered.

Although it explains what exactly this Crimson King is and in what state he descended into this world,

But after listening to the whole thing, I always felt that these two people were talking nonsense.

Their description of the Crimson King's descent was like the ravings of a madman, yet it instilled a deep-seated fear in everyone.

And they learned something.

The Crimson King may very well descend upon this world.

Unlike ordinary ninja people...

Tsunade and the others pondered PoI-3172's words as they looked on the screen.

"Judging from PoI-3172's last words, the Crimson King will descend upon this world sooner or later,"

"And the shelters probably have no way to stop this."

"The reason why the Crimson King was able to descend into this world is very likely because there was a problem with the containment methods used in the containment facility."

"Or rather, the containment methods used in the containment facilities were actually influenced by the Crimson King."

During the video call, recalling the conversation on the screen, Tsunade frowned and slowly spoke.

His words won the approval of everyone present.

"What should we do if this Crimson King were to descend upon the world?"

The daimyo of the Land of Water frowned, his eyes filled with deep worry.

After all, even the containment facilities couldn't fight against the Crimson King, so they certainly wouldn't be able to either.

After a moment of silence, Onoki slowly spoke:
