Chapter 11 - Zhang Chulan & Touma Kamijou vs. The Witch Child!

For a moment, the multiverse fell into an eerie silence.

A wave of dread permeated the chat group.

Marvel Universe

"WTF? Erasing a city from existence? How the hell is that humanly possible?"

Nick Fury's face turned ashen.

No matter how much he tried to heighten his vigilance toward anomalies in the SCP Foundation universe, he always found his imagination falling short.

To be fair, in his experience, there were superhumans capable of destroying a city—even S.H.I.E.L.D. had ultimate weapons that could achieve similar devastation.

But he knew one thing for certain:

Destroying a city and erasing it from existence were entirely different concepts.

This was causality manipulation—a power beyond conventional destruction.

A vein throbbed on Fury's forehead.

"We absolutely cannot let something like this appear in our universe!"

The Outcast Universe – "Which Tao" Company

As more information about Reality Benders surfaced, Xu San and Xu Si's hearts sank to the abyss.

At this point, they'd rather deal with SCP-682 than this Witch Child.

Only Feng Baozi, carefree as ever, picked her nose and remarked:

"If she has human weaknesses and can be swayed by emotions or logic, then she's just an 8-year-old brat, right?"

Xu Si silently smoked his cigarette, refusing to comment.

Xu Three let out a bitter laugh.

"A kid with a kitchen knife is far more dangerous than an adult with one."

Then, staring at the screen, he muttered:

"Let's hope the other summoned agent has a plan."

The Horror of a Level 4 Reality Bender

While the multiverse was still reeling from the implications of a Level 4 Reality Bender's power, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but ask:

"Is there a higher level? What about Level 5?"

Touma Kamijou also straightened up.

In his world, Level 5 espers were the pinnacle.

Would Reality Benders follow the same hierarchy?

And if so—how terrifying would a Level 5 be?

"Level 5..."

The researcher paused, as if carefully choosing her words.

After a few seconds, she spoke slowly:

"A Level 5 Reality Bender poses a threat sufficient to trigger a global CK-Class Reality Restructuring Event."

She added coldly, "Even the Pilgrim Protocol can't handle them. Let me think of an example... Ah, yes!"

Her sudden shift in tone made everyone's hearts leap into their throats.

"SCP-2464—a comatose Reality Bender whose subconscious has already created an infinite spatial anomaly inside a cave."

She smirked.

"Now imagine what would happen if she woke up."

Gulp.

Zhang Chulan and Touma swallowed hard.

A single person, creating an infinite space?

How was that humanly possible?!

The chat group erupted in chaos.

But the researcher wasn't done.

She dropped another bombshell.

"Actually, beyond Level 5, there's an unofficial classification."

Zhang Chulan's eyes bulged. "L-Level 6?"

"Correct."

Her lips curled into a mocking smile—whether at herself or the world, no one could tell.

Her voice cut through the screen, piercing the souls of every viewer across the multiverse:

"We call them..."

"Gods."

The moment that word left her lips, the chat group froze.

Multiversal Reactions

Marvel Universe – Kamar-Taj

The Ancient One's hands, clasped behind her back, trembled slightly.

Her gaze at the screen was one of utter disbelief.

Gods?

Greek Mythology Universe – Mount Olympus

Crash!

The sound of shattered goblets echoed, followed by a furious roar:

"GODS?!"

Zeus' brow twitched with lightning, his golden eyes blazing with divine wrath.

"Mere humans dare claim divinity?!"

He rose from his throne, nectar dripping from his sculpted physique as he glared at the screen.

"Then let the King of Gods enlighten you!"

"No matter how many worlds exist!"

"No matter how many universes!"

"True gods reside only on Olympus!"

"And there is only one God-King—ME!"

With that, he vanished, his divine power surging beyond the heavens in an attempt to breach other realms.

But his efforts were doomed to fail.

Back to the Mission

Zhang Chulan wiped his sweaty face, forcing an awkward smile.

"Enough! Let's just focus on how to contain this Witch Child."

The researcher gave him an odd look before replying flatly:

"Just follow Dr. Gears' orders."

"Dr. Gears?"

Without another word, she signed a document and briskly walked away, leaving the two standing there, bewildered.

The room was stark—thick concrete walls, sterile white lights, an oppressive silence.

"So... what now?"

Hiss.

A pneumatic door slid open, revealing a long, dim corridor.

Exchanging uneasy glances, they stepped forward.

Site-0 – Chu Yun's Observations

Ignoring the nervous agents on-screen, Chu Yun flipped through several files.

"Applicant: Gears."

"Position: Researcher."

The attached photo showed a balding, bespectacled middle-aged man.

Another file read:

"Applicant: Kondraki."

"Position: Field Agent."

A smirk played on Chu Yun's lips.

"Three of the Four Horsemen Doctors are here. Just missing Clef—probably still working for the GOC."

He glanced at the screen, sighing theatrically.

"Guess we won't get to see the Horsemen take on the Witch Child."
