As for the remaining few comments, Chen Mu suspected that those people's level of understanding and vision were not high, at least far lower than his own, which was why they looked down on the Marvel Universe and failed to discover its power.

Of course, the myriad worlds and the multiverse are simply too vast, and it cannot be ruled out that there are indeed some god-level beings among them, in whose eyes the Marvel Universe is nothing more than a slightly larger ant... However, this possibility is extremely slim.

Having taken control of the Foundation universe, Chen Mu was well aware of his own power and was full of confidence in the nearly ten thousand containment objects.

In previous tests of SCP-096, the Shy Man easily killed Thanos from a Marvel parallel universe, demonstrating an incredibly powerful destructive force. SCP-096 is merely one of nearly ten thousand containment objects that does not possess divinity.

The power of those contained objects possessing supreme divinity is even more unimaginable.

For example, they previously assisted the Ninth Squad in successfully containing the rampaging and out-of-control SPC-049 Plague Doctor, SCP-682 Immortal Lizard, and SCP-035 The "God" Old Man who possessed the mask, namely SCP-343, who voluntarily allowed himself to be contained.

If forced internment is to be carried out, the foundation will have to pay a huge price, and at the very least, Chen Mu himself will have to take action.

In addition, the Crimson King, the Shattered God, Adabos, the Howling Demon, the Cosmic Sea, as well as the Supreme Dao, the Void God, the Salvation Heavenly Venerable, the Dragon Master Heavenly Venerable, and so on, the strength of these contained objects is even more unfathomable.

Even as the president of the Foundation, he still needs to maintain due respect and awe for these containment objects that possess supreme divinity.

"Ruoxue, don't underestimate the Marvel Universe, but don't underestimate yourself either. You know too little about containment objects; what you usually see is just the tip of the iceberg." Chen Mu comforted Lin Ruoxue in this way, and his simple words restored Lin Ruoxue's wavering confidence.

Lin Ruoxue looked at Chen Mu with immense admiration and asked:

"President, is it possible for our Foundation Universe to make it onto the list?"

“It’s hard to say right now.” Chen Mu further explained the reason: “Only one universe civilization from the Marvel Universe is on the list, so there are too few samples to analyze. Therefore, I don’t know the basis for Sky Screen’s ranking of universe civilizations, or what it consists of. In the Foundation universe, there are many ancient and supreme beings who usually show very low strength and are seriously underestimated by Sky Screen. As a result, the accuracy of the ranking will be greatly reduced.”

"I understand, Chairman."

Lin Ruoxue's heart was finally no longer filled with the same worry as before.

The Foundation headquarters has nearly 10,000 contained objects. Many of these objects, according to the instruments, are only comparable to an average adult. Others, on the surface, appear to be as strong as a few-month-old baby, but once the conditions for their rampage are triggered or the containment measures are breached, their power is enough to destroy many star systems and even threaten the safety and survival of the Foundation headquarters.

If Skyfall fails to detect the true combat power of these contained entities, it will undoubtedly underestimate the true strength of the Foundation universe. The Foundation universe differs significantly from the Marvel universe; the question now is how Skyfall will rank the Foundation universe.

Lin Ruoxue glanced at the sensor in her hand; its multicolored lights were flashing. After being analyzed by the supercomputer, they formed a special message. A smile appeared on her lips as she said:

"Chairman, the old man invites you over for tea."

"Grandpa?"

Seeing that Chen Mu didn't understand, Lin Ruoxue chuckled and said:

“SCP-343, Old Man God, please come in for tea. SCP-343 is so kind. Every time I see him, I am reminded of my deceased grandfather. My colleagues like to call him ‘God,’ and some people like to call him ‘God.’ I like to call him ‘Grandpa.’”

Chen Mu rose from the chairman's chair and gave the instructions:

“I’ve been busy with a lot of complicated matters at the foundation lately, and it’s been a long time since I’ve gone to chat with him. I’ll go over and catch up. Ruoxue, go to the supermarket and buy some of the best quality bananas and milk.”

Every time Chen Mu visited SCP-343, the Old Man God, he would ask her to buy some fruit and milk, and sometimes he would also ask her to buy some calcium supplements.

Sometimes she wondered, do the contained objects really need to eat these things? Or, can the nutrients in human food be absorbed by God?

Several times she passed by SCP-343, the old man's room, and saw that the room was empty. She assumed that the bananas and supplements had been eaten, but the next time she passed by, the bananas and supplements inexplicably reappeared on the table.

But considering that the old man "God" was a contained object, she felt relieved. Otherwise, she really wanted to rush in and ask him if the old man was performing magic.

After Lin Ruoxue finished buying her things, Chen Mu took her to the room of the Old Man God.

The two guards at the gate saw him and respectfully saluted and called out:

"President!"

Chen Mu nodded, glanced at the kettle and tea leaves in their hands, and joked:

"That old man really treats my subordinates like waiters."

"Hehe, President, we did all of this voluntarily," the two hurriedly explained, then quickly cast pleading glances at Lin Ruoxue.

Lin Ruoxue understood immediately and coughed lightly, saying:

"Yes, they both volunteered, it has nothing to do with the old man. Chairman, we should go in now, hehe."

Chen Mu smiled, not pointing it out to them, but in reality, he knew exactly what was going on.

Since SCP-343 was voluntarily contained and is very powerful, it is pointless to arrange guards at the entrance of his containment chamber. It was just that Chen Mu wanted to treat everyone equally and did not want to give these guys special treatment, so as not to make other contained objects say that he, as the chairman, could not treat everyone equally. Therefore, he requested that two guards be arranged for him, just like for other contained objects.

Later on, the duties and jobs of these guards were no longer to monitor the old man, but to serve him. It is no exaggeration to call them "nannies". They were either ordered around by the old man to serve him tea and water, or to sweep the floor and wipe the table. Some of them even had to clean the old man's chamber pot.

Of course, SCP-343 is also quite generous and always gives these guards some benefits.

Some guards were not good marksmen, but after the old man's guidance, they immediately became sharpshooters; some guards suffered from illnesses, but when the old man gently touched them, their illnesses miraculously disappeared.

Over time, the guards at the Foundation headquarters all vied to be SCP-343's bodyguards.

SCP-343, the Old Man God, had a requirement for them: when Chen Mu, the president of the Foundation, asked, they had to say that they were working voluntarily, not that they were being ordered around by him. That's why the scene that just happened occurred.

Inside the room, the divine radiance behind SCP-343, the Old Man God, dimmed instantly when Chen Mu stepped inside. He was no longer so radiant and dazzling, unlike the God that Westerners believed in, who always seemed to be bathed in holy light.

The old man himself admitted that he was God, but unfortunately, this claim has not yet been accepted by all the staff of the foundation.

This has nothing to do with the strength shown by the old man, but rather with the presence of Chen Mu. In the hearts of the employees, Chen Mu is the real "God".

SCP-343, the Old Man God, was overjoyed to see the bananas and milk that Chen Mu had brought. He immediately peeled a banana and swallowed it whole.

"Grandpa, why are you so happy? You're always so happy whenever the president brings you food," Lin Ruoxue asked curiously.

SCP-343 stroked his beard and replied:

“Your chairman is the person I respect most. Out of all the people in the foundation, he is the only one who never treats me as a containment object, but as one of the human beings. That’s why he always brings me gifts to visit me.” As he spoke, he ate several bananas in succession.

Lin Ruoxue was genuinely afraid he would choke, and asked in great confusion:

"Grandpa, how long has it been since you've had fruit? Take your time."

SCP-343 then wiped his mouth and said:

"It's probably been several hundred thousand years."

Lin Ruoxue was extremely shocked:

"Grandpa, the president brought you fruit when he visited you last time. How could it be hundreds of thousands of years ago?"

At this moment, Chen Mu put down his teacup and gestured for Lin Ruoxue to listen quietly to what the old man was about to say.

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, I cleared an orchard on a barren land and planted two trees. A hundred thousand years later, those two trees grew strong and healthy; one became the Tree of Life, and the other the Tree of Knowledge..."

SCP-343, Old Man God, seems to be immersed in the past, reminiscing about stories that have happened.

"There were two other people, a man and a woman, living a carefree life in my orchard. I warned them not to steal the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, but they ignored me and ate the forbidden fruit..."

Upon hearing this part of the story, Lin Ruoxue immediately looked at Chen Mu.

She was all too familiar with this story. Wasn't it just Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden? No matter how you listened to it, it sounded like SCP-343 had read it in some book and was now retelling it.

But she noticed Chen Mu's behavior; he listened attentively and patiently the entire time. It was a story everyone already knew, so why was the student council president listening so intently?

Could it be... that the old man SCP-343 is truly the God who created the Garden of Eden? Is he really the creator god who initiated human civilization?

Thinking of this, Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but feel an urge to worship Chen Mu. Even God treated Chen Mu with utmost respect; didn't that mean Chen Mu was even more powerful than God?!

The ensuing conversation between Chen Mu and SCP-343 answered all her suspicions.

After hearing the old man's story, Chen Mu made a surprising remark, calmly saying:

"Old man, you peeked into humanity's Bible and created a similar parallel universe, didn't you? You personally built the Garden of Eden, warning Adam and Eve not to taste the forbidden fruit..."

SCP-343, the Old Man God, paused slightly, then smiled at Chen Mu:

"There are infinite possibilities regarding my identity. I could be a powerful reality warper with a Hume index of 860; I could be a green puppet created by Serphine the Green King and planted in the Foundation to monitor your every move; or I could really be the God of you humans. In short, who I am depends on who you think I am."

After a pause, SCP-343 suddenly asked in a serious tone:

"President Chen Mu, now, who do you think I am?"

For some reason, Lin Ruoxue sensed that the Old Man God was emanating a terrifying aura. He was exerting an invisible but intense mental pressure, though this pressure wasn't directed at her; it was focused on Chen Mu.

Lin Ruoxue also noticed that the energy detection device for the containment object in her hand had exceeded its limit, indicating that SCP-343 was now fraught with great uncertainty and risk!

Her heart pounded wildly with tension.

After a brief silence, Chen Mu responded:

"Old man, you ask me who you are? I'll tell you now, I'm here today to catch up with an old friend and have some tea."

"Haha, Chairman Chen Mu, please have some tea. You're right, we're old friends. So, I'm your friend, and also a friend of humanity." Upon hearing this, the oppressive aura emanating from SCP-343, the Old Man God, vanished in an instant, as if nothing had happened.

By this moment, Lin Ruoxue had already vaguely guessed a terrifying fact: SCP-343, the Old Man God, was absolutely terrifying in strength, involving divinity.

If Chairman Chen Mu says he is an enemy, then he will immediately become an enemy; if he says he is a god, then he is an omnipotent god; if he says he is a friend, then he is the most loyal friend.

Who he really is depends on Chairman Chen Mu's opinion.

SCP-343, the Old Man God, is unfathomable and cannot be understood or viewed using ordinary reasoning.

Lin Ruoxue suddenly remembered something else.

SCP-343, the Old Man of God, once met with SCP-187, the Eye of God. The two had a secret conversation, the specific content of which is unknown. The guards on duty at the entrance said that they could see the two talking, but they could not hear the sound, as if they were talking in another dimension.

That exchange lasted for more than an hour.

When SCP-187, the Eye of God, left the room, she said to the guard, "She's such a talkative young lady."

Because SCP-187 possesses the Eye of God, which allows her to see both the present and future forms of anything simultaneously, her assessment of the Old Man God is practically equivalent to saying, "God is a girl."

To this end, Lin Ruoxue organized the Foundation's top experts to conduct a study, but the matter was eventually dropped because neither of the two contained objects was willing to cooperate.

Today, after listening to Chen Mu's conversation with the Old Man God, she finally understood the truth of the matter: the Old Man God can transform into any image or form that anyone desires to see.
