In Addendum 1, a fourth clause appears, which was originally deleted from the ritual preparation stage.

[A live male domestic chicken, recommended to be kept in a cage to prevent accidents upon entering SCP-2317-Prime (referred to as a "chicken"). 】

At this moment,

No one cares why a chicken is needed for the ceremony.

Because everyone's attention has been locked on the content that surfaced in the ritual.

It was just a few short words, but it was like a magnet.

Dead attracts everyone's attention.

[3. After completing one of the circumambulations of SCP-2317-A-G, the master of ceremonies will sprinkle holy water over the head of the assistant while reciting the following passage: "Seven seals, seven precepts, seven thrones dedicated to the Crimson King."] "】

[4. After that, the master of ceremonies moves to a safe location far away from the assistant and uses an obsidian knife to kill the chicken as a sacrifice.] Introduce the chicken blood into the holy water bowl, then mix it with the holy water and shake well. 】

[6. After completing a circumambulation of SCP-2317-A-G, the assistant will walk up to the stone in the center of the ring, pour the remaining mixture of blood and holy water over the sand and salt crumbs in the center, and recite the following verse: "Blood to the old gods, holy water to the new king."] "】.

······

The deepest part of the universe!

Observer dimension.

The moment the name 'Crimson King' appeared,

Observer Yoatu's pupils suddenly shrank a little!

In the long lives of their observers, they observed many ancient and powerful beings in the universe.

thereinto

There is no Crimson King!

But

He just saw the name, and an indescribable fear swept him away!

In his mind, there seemed to be countless crazy cries of civilization—

He is a whirling creature,

From many different eras, all over the world.

He is the memory of the lost world,

21 memories of the pre-modern world,

embodied as a hatred of modernity,

Hate the new, humanity and sneer that marks our daily existence.

He is an entity created by overwhelming, inescapable tension,

It is the howl of the old world in the face of the cold, gray, meaningless new world...

No!

I can't think about it anymore!

Yoatu was on the edge of the cliff, and he pulled his mind on the verge of madness in time!

"Damn, what the hell, just mentioning his name has such a terrifying polluting power..."

"The Crimson King..."

"The Crimson King!"

"No!"

"He is definitely not a supreme divine being, He cannot be defined at all!

Call~

The curiosity in Yoatu's heart had now been completely replaced by horror.

At this moment, he felt emotions that he had never seen since becoming an observer-

Astound!

Fear!

But after this complicated emotion, he came to his senses again.

Wrong!

The Scarlet King could not be imprisoned!

The Scarlet King is even less likely to appear in the Foundation world!

His essence does not need to come at all,

Even if it's just a gaze,

The world of the Foundation will be completely in a state of madness!

In that case, who is SCP-2317?

What does it have to do with the Crimson King?

Thinking of this,

Yuatul's body trembled involuntarily.

The excitement and curiosity of the Scarlet King's secrets overwhelmed his sanity temporarily.

······

Above the multiverse.

Inside the Eternal Materialization into a small cosmic temple, there was a murmur.

"The Crimson King..."

Eternity, as an abstract god born at the moment of the Big Bang, represents the concrete phenomenon of time in the entire Marvel multiverse.

It is also the consciousness aggregate of all life in the universe, and the physical embodiment of the Marvel multiverse.

However, even as the embodiment of the universe, he had never heard of the name of the Crimson King.

The moment he saw the information, he had already searched the entire universe.

Finally came to a conclusion -

The Scarlet Lord shielded his senses.

At this point,

As the god of the universe,

For the first time, the emotion of fear arose.

······

Meanwhile.

The audience of the entire Marvel world also completely exploded.

"WTF?

"Damn it, Scarlet King, I feel my soul tremble at the thought of this name!

"I finally understood the warning from the system at the beginning, it was terrifying. "

"God, how on earth is such a being contained?"

"The Foundation is really awesome..."

“······"

Inside S.H.I.E.L.D.

On the faces of all the agents,

All shrouded in an inexplicable fear.

"Crimson..."

"Shut up!" Nick Fury unceremoniously slapped an agent and said angrily:

"Idiot, don't you know that some beings have the potential to attract attention just by chanting His name?"

The other party woke up suddenly, and the cold sweat instantly wet his heart.

Everyone else swallowed with palpitations.

"No..." Assistant Maria stared at the screen and analyzed:

"He shouldn't exist in our universe!"

As an assistant to the Director, she knows no less information than Nick Fury.

She knew that there were still many gods in the universe that humans did not understand, and among them were those responsible for maintaining order in the universe.

If such an existence of the Crimson King appeared in the Marvel Universe, it would definitely not be so calm!

Hearing his assistant say this, Nick Fury also fell into deep thought.

The Scarlet King is definitely the supreme divinity,

He can easily cause XK-class end-of-the-world scenarios,

is unlikely to be contained by the Foundation,

Not necessarily to be pleased by such a 'sloppy' ceremony...

Could it be that ...

As if thinking of something, he looked up at the screen suddenly.

There was a hint of suspicion in his eyes...

On the screen, more content surfaced.

[Addendum 2317-2: History: SCP-2317 was first discovered in 1922 by [DATA EXPUNGED]. Subject was then transported to Provisional Containment Area17. Subject was transferred to Containment Area 179 in 1982 and was kept until the document was written. 】

[At the time of its first discovery, 4 of the 7 chains were broken and 3 were intact; the 5th chain broke in ████ as a direct result of a [DATA EXPUNGED] event in our world. 】

[The sixth chain breaks in ████, which leads to more [DATA EXPUNGED] events, resulting in the deaths of 2 million people.] 】

See here,

Nick Frey was stunned.

He straightened up sharply, and his breathing became rapid.

A terrifying light flashed in his eyes, and the whole person seemed to be struck by lightning.

Every time the chain breaks, it causes a world-class catastrophe?

And even 2 million people died because of it?

Such an existence is only a Keter-class containment?

It can't be the Crimson King,

But what is it?

What scared him even more was...

Of the seven chains imprisoned now, it seems that there is only one left...

He looked at the screen with a shudder, and as his gaze swept over the last paragraph, fear crept through him—

[Restoration of the supplemental text recovered during containment has revealed that Procedure 220-Calabasas is an effective means of maintaining containment until an effective method of repairing the chains is restored or discovered.] 】

[Containment procedures have been revised to carry out Procedure 220-Calabasas.] Due to the exponential increase in the lethality of the sequence of [DATA EXPUNGED] events recorded in the record, it is presumed that the breaking of the last chain (SCP-2317-G) will result in an XK-Class apocalyptic scenario. 】

[Therefore, everything possible must be done to ensure the successful implementation of the 220-Calabasas procedure. 】

This is the end of what can be seen by Level 4 Security Clearance.

But at this time, the audience of the entire Marvel world fell into a strange dead silence.

An invisible fear seemed to penetrate the cosmic dimension and descend on them.

astound

fear

Despair...

Immediately, there was a strong outburst of emotions!

The entire live broadcast room suddenly boiled, and countless barrages appeared in the live broadcast room.

"Ohmygod!Every break of an iron cable causes a world-class catastrophe, and even 2 million people die from it?"

"That's two million! There has never been a catastrophe in our world that can cause so many deaths!"

"Hell, the most important thing is that there's only one left..."

"It's terrifying, this world is really too dangerous, humans are completely ants standing at the feet of the gods!"

“······"

S.H.I.E.L.D.

At this time, the hearts of the agents were completely overshadowed by fear.

2 million people, almost the entire population of a large city!

As a result, they all died because they broke an iron cable...

"The point is, there's still a rope..." Natasha looked at the screen, not a trace of blood on her face.

"No!" Nick Fury's trembling voice interrupted Natasha's words.

He turned around, looked at everyone, and said bitterly, "Even if the last chain breaks and doesn't cause an XK-class apocalyptic scenario, don't forget..."

In the trembling eyes of everyone, he gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"The chain is still chained to a 200 km tall entity - SCP-2317-K!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately froze in place.

The mere breaking of the chain that holds SCP-2317-K in place can cause such casualties.

so

If SCP-2317-K's body loses its restraints,

What will happen?

When everyone thinks of that image, their hearts can't help but beat faster.

Unbelievable shock and appalling echoed in my head.

······

Stark Industrial Building.

"Hell, how did such an existence come to be contained by the Foundation?"

Tony's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly: "In the face of such an existence, technology really doesn't seem to be as useful as religious mystery..."

"No! I think you're mistaken!" Colonel Rhodes looked solemn and pointed to the screen and said slowly:

"There is nothing in the file that states that SCP-2317-K is contained by the 697 Foundation itself. "

As soon as these words came out, Tony was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened suddenly.

The facts are as Colonel Rhodes said.

When the Foundation contained SCP-2317, it appeared to be nothing more than a wooden door leading to an alternate dimension.

And those stone pillars, it seems, have imprisoned SCP-2317-K from the beginning!

Thinking of this, Tony's expression suddenly became excited:

"In other words, the existence of SCP-2317-K that has actually contained it must have the ability to contain SCP-2317-K again!

Hearing this,

Colonel Rhodes shook his head helplessly, looked at the screen slowly, and muttered:

"If I could, maybe the iron rope wouldn't have broken six..."

He was nowhere near as optimistic as Tony.

······

Future Technology Building.

Seeing that the version file of Level 4 security clearance ended here, Peter Parker pondered for a long time before looking at Lin Lang.

"None?"

"Otherwise, I only had Level 4 security clearance at the time. Lin Lang replied casually.

"But you must have seen it again, didn't you!" Peter Parker's face was complicated.

Shock, fear, worry, and a hint of curiosity.

It can be said that

Although the audience in the Marvel world was frightened by SCP-2317-K,

But everyone's curiosity not only did not disappear with it, but it grew bigger and bigger!

It's like watching a very wonderful horror movie,

Timid, helpless, and wanting to see.

"Can you tell me? Please, Lin!"

Seeing this, Lin Lang smiled angrily: "Isn't it over yet?" Keep watching, there is something you want to know later!"

Peter Parker was stunned.

He looked at the screen and wondered, "Isn't the content of the file already over... Huh?"

When the familiar figure of the Overseer appeared on the screen,

Peter Parker wasn't alone.

······

in the picture.

After reading the file, Lin Lang stayed in place and was silent for a long time.

Until the sound of footsteps broke the dead silence.

Da Da Da ~ "We meet again, Senior Researcher Lin. "

The Overseer's cold voice rang out again.

She squinted, looked at Lin Lang like an interrogation, and said in a condensed voice, "Why are you interested in SCP-2317? "

Lin Lang looked at her calmly and said lightly: "I just want to see it." "

The corners of the other party's mouth were slightly raised: "What if I could tell you what only the highest security clearance can see?".
