Dr. Montauk whispered.

"The Foundation is made up of people too."

"To avoid unrest, this was the best approach. At the time, we chose... to connect the Devourer of Worlds with the Crimson King."

Holmes' pupils contracted.

A certain suspicion arose in his mind.

Then, Dr. Montauk spoke up to prove his hypothesis.

"We tell of the Devourer of Worlds as another being of the Scarlet King."

"And use this to carry out containment work."

Dr. Montauk narrowed his eyes.

Even he would be extremely serious when it came to matters concerning the Crimson King.

"The Scarlet King, who is widely mentioned in the art and oral histories of numerous human and non-human civilizations throughout the universe."

"But people who have never had any contact with each other are a good carrier."

"These records generally describe it as a large, red creature wearing a golden crown or other headdress symbolizing royal power."

"But since no one knows the true identity of the Devourer of Worlds underground, it's easy to keep it secret."

Hearing this explanation.

Holmes and Luo Ji finally understood.

How are the Devourer of Worlds and the Crimson King connected?

But what puzzled the two was.

After all, this is just a fake program, why should it be singled out?

"If only that were the case."

"It seems that there is no substantial connection between the two."

"It has nothing to do with our mission, right?"

Luo Ji asked with a frown.

He doesn't like unnecessary things.

If an investigation could be launched immediately, he would like to be able to participate in other things.

Dr. Montauk gave a wry smile.

"If that's all."

"Then the two really have nothing to do with each other, but now I have doubts."

"The Devourer of Worlds...has truly become a facet of the Scarlet King."

The words fell.

The whole room fell into deathly silence.

PS

The Devourer of Worlds has been an unlucky bastard for ten years.

Chapter 60: Devourer of Worlds! SCP

"What do you mean?"

Luo Ji couldn't help but ask.

His fingers clenched unconsciously, and he was obviously nervous to a certain extent.

Because he is smart.

At this point, there are certain speculations about what Dr. Montauk said.

I just don't want to confirm this easily.

Dr. Montauk waved his hand to make the contents on the wall disappear, his expression extremely serious.

"Although I don't know why you guys have the authority of the general manager level."

"But since they sent you here."

"It means I can say this."

Dr. Montauk sighed.

"Just as you guessed, the Devourer of Worlds in our world."

"Probably."

"Has been assimilated by the Crimson King."

assimilation?

Holmes's face hardened.

"Could you elaborate?"

"of course can."

Dr. Montauk did not shirk.

He just looked at the people in front of him and spoke with a serious expression.

"As you said, p2317 originally had no connection with the Crimson King."

"However, because the Foundation claims that SCP-2317 is actually the Scarlet King, SCP-2317 is influenced by its concepts."

"He has truly become a part of the Crimson King. This proves that the Crimson King is likely to have metaphysical properties."

simply put.

Once the Crimson King is completely linked to a sufficiently powerful being.

Then as long as there is suppression in the concept.

It will gradually replace it and transform it into an aspect of its own existence.

Hear this.

Whether it is Luo Ji or Sherlock Holmes, or even the strong ones in the heavens and all worlds.

Everyone was shocked by this situation.

"What kind of existence is this?!"

“When omniscience encounters an existence that cannot be omniscient, does it mean that omniscience itself is a fallacy?”

"This is beyond comprehension. How can someone do such a thing?"

"The Crimson King...isn't that too unreasonable?!"

now.

Just when Luo Ji, Holmes, and Saiki Kusuo were all shocked.

Dr. Montauk spoke out.

"So, the current containment measures have become real in a sense."

“So all of this is necessary.”

Hear this.

Saiki Kusuo couldn't help but think.

The Devourer of Worlds is really unlucky, probably even it itself didn't expect it.

A being that can devour the universe.

Just because of an artificial ritual, he was forced to contact and assimilate the Crimson King.

But it is enough to prove it.

How terrifying is the Crimson King?

"Of course, what you are dealing with is not actually the Devourer of Worlds."

"After all, the containment procedures have been completed."

"follow me."

Dr. Montauk coughed lightly.

He led the three of them out of the underground room and came to a location above the ground.

Until leaving the base.

The three of them found themselves at the edge of a grassland.

"here it is..."

Luo Ji looked up into the distance and muttered.

The grassland in the twilight is like a crumpled piece of gold foil, entangled with crimson clouds.

Scattered sheep in the distance.

They were gathered together by the shepherd's long whistle.

The wind created fine ripples as it passed along the grass tips, and all you could see was lush green grass.

"This is it."

"The other thing I want to tell you may be about the Crimson King's containment."

Dr. Montauk looked solemn.

He stared at the grassland in front of him and whispered again in a serious tone.
