The final sentence of the mysterious man faded from the screen at the same moment the last page of SCP-001: The Broken God closed. His voice echoed faintly in the room, almost like the lingering hum of a machine cooling down after running at full power:
"Separated, we are broken. But united, we are God."
Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. command center, a silence settled in the room.
Natasha Romanoff stared at the frozen screen, her expression unreadable. It wasn't admiration, nor fascination—it was something closer to quiet fear. She wasn't shaken because the Broken God offered cooperation…
It was because SCP-001 demonstrated a level of power she found genuinely unsettling.
If this so-called "eccentric mutant" created by the Church of the Broken God could cause such destruction, Natasha could only imagine how terrifying the real Broken God must be.
If He hadn't chosen self-destruction, even an orbital SCP like 2399 might have been powerless to stop Him.
Yet, what truly caught her attention wasn't His power—it was His mystery.
How could the Supreme Machine God ever be broken?
What exactly happened between Him and Yaldabaoth, the Crimson Serpent Lord?
And what kind of war results in two gods fighting to mutual ruin?
But the file ended before answering anything.
And those mysteries dissolved into the endless secrecy of the SCP Foundation.

James stared at the blank search bar on his monitor. The file's ending had left him with too many questions. So he typed in one name:
Broken God
The database loaded immediately.
> [The Broken God, also known as MEKHANE, Machine God, WAN, Fuxi, Serpent Father...]
James blinked.
"Serpent Father…?"
The chat exploded. The live audience watching his stream reacted instantly.
"What do you mean Serpent Father? Isn't Yaldabaoth the serpent?"
"Wait, are these titles symbolic or literal?"
"No way a Supreme God has this many identities!"
The description continued:
> [Supreme deity worshipped by the Church of the Broken God. Lord of machinery and logic. Weaver of order above the abyss. Architect of all physical laws.]
[Taught humanity logic and rationality. Wields a Mecha Hammer in various depictions. Nearly omniscient, nearly omnipresent, spread across countless dimensions… yet broken.]
The stream fell silent.
Then—
"Hold on… He created ALL physical laws?"
"He's basically a mechanical version of the Creator God!"
"Teaching humans logic? So he's like the ultimate lawful neutral deity."
"Who could break something like THAT?"
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury squinted at the list of names.
MEKHANE.
Machine God.
Serpent Father.
A pattern surfaced in his mind.
"If this is true," Fury muttered, "then the one who imprisoned Yaldabaoth wasn't some ancient human empire—it was Him."
A chilling possibility settled over him.
What if the war between the Machine God and the Serpent God never truly ended?
What if both sides were still bleeding into the modern world through SCP anomalies?
Before Fury could continue, Natasha interrupted:
"Director… these two words keep appearing: Sons of the Night and First Empire. What exactly are they?"
Fury inhaled sharply. He had theories—but before he could answer, James clicked on the term.
The screen opened not to a history page but to a cluster of SCP files.
SCP-1428. SCP-2481. Many more.
Even James was stunned.
The First Empire, once believed to be only an ancient mythical kingdom, clearly had deep ties to anomalous history.
He hesitated for a moment, then clicked SCP-1428.
---
The screen displayed:
> Project Name: Solar Harbinger
Item #: SCP-1428
Object Class: Keter
The chat exploded.
"Another Keter?!"
"What is wrong with that empire? Everything from there is lethal!"
"Chaos Abyss, Taotie, Children of the Serpent… all Keter!"
"And now Solar Harbinger? Seriously?!"
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha frowned.
"The containment difficulty level is insane. How did an ancient civilization deal with these things?"
Nick Fury's face darkened.
---
The file continued:
> [SCP-1428-1 is contained in a tungsten cage inside a specialized incineration chamber.
The chamber walls consist of fireproof concrete, lead plates, and high-grade reinforced concrete.]
> [The entity is incinerated three times daily at 400°C.
Direct contact is strictly forbidden.
Maintenance must be performed with remote robots.]
The audience collectively exhaled. It felt comforting, familiar—like classic SCP procedures in contrast to the overpowering cosmic horrors James had been reading for weeks.
But the relief vanished when the next pages loaded:
---
[SCP-1428-1 resembles a three-legged crow-like creature. It does not eat, sleep, breathe, age, or react to heat or radiation.]
Tony Stark paused mid-sip.
"A bird? A Keter? Unless it explodes like a nuke, this classification makes no—"
He stopped.
James scrolled down.
Stark froze.
---
[SCP-1428-1 has three forms: Inert, Passive, Active]
Passive State:
> Emits variable gamma radiation up to 150 W/m².
Photon energy fluctuates between 1–1.5 MeV.
Active State:
> Generates plasma and heat equal to the solar corona.
Releases gamma-ray bursts with recorded intensity up to 340 W/m² and 3×10²⁰ MeV.
Thermal effects last only moments but cause catastrophic destruction.
The room turned ice cold.
Stark slowly lowered his drink.
"…Oh. That explains the Keter."
Colonel Rhodes muttered, "…It's literally a miniature sun."
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., an expert physicist suddenly shouted:
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS THING IS A WALKING NUCLEAR DISASTER!"
He pointed wildly at the data.
"Passive state alone emits radiation levels that outclass almost every known radioactive source on Earth! And the active state—good God—it IS a small sun!"
Agents stared in stunned silence.
James scrolled again.
---
Additional Hazards:
> [During active state, SCP-1428-1 emits auroral bands identical to solar phenomena. These induce a compulsive effect, drawing all humans toward the light.]
> [Once influenced, subjects cannot be stopped by force and ignore all outside stimuli.]
> [Auroras persist for a full day even after the activation ends.]
Nick Fury clenched his jaw.
"Mind control aura. Nuclear radiation. Solar plasma. This is no simple creature…"
Natasha whispered:
"This thing is a mythological Solar Harbinger… but real."
---
The next line chilled everyone:
> [Physical damage triggers immediate activation unless incinerated at 400°C.]
Meaning—
The moment anyone attacks it, the world gets a miniature solar flare in their face.
