Extinguishing threat

After a moment of traveling to the other universe, A'malther saw all the chaos.

A'malther: "... Can you analyze the situation?"

SCP-035: "Few anomalies in the surroundings. Hundreds of human souls nearby, some badly injured, others slightly. SCP-096 is near."

A'malther stretched his head and neck, and then his shoulders, while taking steps forward.

A'malther: "Alright. It is time to start the real duty of a divinity as myself."

Then A'malther opened a portal, where SCP-073 (A), A'tellif, SCP-682 (A), SCP-049 (A), and SCP-076-2 (A) came out, and then, the portal closed before them.

Enhanced Appearances of SCP Entities Under A'malther's Domain

SCP-049 (A) – "The Apothecary of Transcendence"

SCP-049 (A) has undergone a profound transformation, embodying the essence of A'malther's divine vision for a multiversal healer and executioner.

Heightened Presence: Standing at an imposing 8 feet tall, SCP-049 (A) is cloaked in robes made from ethereal, blackened silk that seems alive, shifting and flowing like liquid shadow. Golden accents weave through the fabric, forming intricate patterns resembling anatomical diagrams of multiple species across the multiverse. These patterns glow faintly, pulsating in sync with nearby lifeforms.

Mask Evolution: His plague doctor mask has fused with his flesh, now formed of obsidian-like material with sharp, angular edges. The eye lenses glow with a white-blue flame, suggesting boundless knowledge of diseases, death, and life itself.

Hands of Life and Death: SCP-049 (A)'s hands are now a blend of biological and mechanical design. One hand is encased in silvery plating and emits a faint golden light—used to heal and restore life. The other is blackened and jagged, its fingertips sharp like scalpel blades, crackling with dark purple energy—capable of disintegrating any organism with a touch.

Aura of Balance: SCP-049 (A) emits an aura of both dread and reassurance. Those with malicious intent feel an overwhelming compulsion to retreat, while those in need of healing or guidance feel a deep sense of safety in his presence.

SCP-682 (A) – "The Apex Beast of Annihilation"

SCP-682 (A) has evolved into a cosmic predator, radiating power and defiance while still embodying the hatred and resilience of its original form.

Size and Proportion: Now 100 meters in length, SCP-682 (A)'s form is sleek and streamlined, covered in scales that shimmer between black, gold, and iridescent crimson. Each scale resembles a sharpened blade, capable of deflecting most physical and energy-based attacks.

Head and Expression: Its head has become more angular and armored, with glowing crimson eyes that pierce through any darkness. Spikes jut from its jawline and crest its head, glowing faintly with molten energy. Its teeth are jagged and blackened, capable of tearing through even the hardest known materials.

Limbs and Tail: Its legs have strengthened further, with claws radiating golden energy, sharp enough to slice through the fabric of reality. Its tail is lined with blade-like protrusions, capable of extending and whipping at supersonic speeds to shred its enemies.

Cosmic Regeneration: SCP-682 (A) now regenerates through multiversal energy, instantly adapting to threats by siphoning power from alternate versions of itself across the multiverse. Its body shifts subtly during battles, optimizing itself in real-time to counter opponents.

Aura of Fear: Its presence alone induces a primal fear in all who oppose it, as if their instincts scream that they are facing an apex predator designed to destroy any challenger.

SCP-073 (A) – "The Shield of Eternal Balance"

SCP-073 (A) embodies A'malther's vision for a protector and an enforcer of peace and coexistence, exuding an aura of divine authority and unwavering balance.

Height and Build: Now towering at 9 feet tall, SCP-073 (A) has a perfectly proportioned physique, radiating both power and serenity. His skin is still a bronzed metallic hue, but now it glows faintly with golden and silver undertones. Faint, luminescent inscriptions cover his body—ancient, celestial symbols representing concepts like peace, unity, and justice.

Headpiece and Eyes: SCP-073 (A)'s head is adorned with a radiant crown-like halo, faintly spinning and changing shape. His eyes glow with an intense sapphire light, conveying both compassion and a piercing gaze that can see through lies and deception.

Arms and Hands: His arms appear reinforced with a metallic sheen, engraved with runes that shift and glow when he channels his abilities. His hands carry an overwhelming sense of warmth and strength, capable of repelling attacks, disarming foes, or rebuilding what has been destroyed.

Weapon of Judgment: SCP-073 (A) carries a massive shield, forged from the same material as his body. The shield shifts its size and form depending on the situation, capable of deflecting even the most destructive attacks. In moments of extreme need, the shield emits beams of energy that incapacitate targets with overwhelming force, delivering justice without killing.

Aura of Peace: His presence has a calming effect on others, encouraging cooperation and resolving conflicts. However, in combat, his aura shifts, inspiring allies with unshakable courage and imposing fear on those who seek chaos.

SCP-076-2 (A) – "The Blade of Cosmic Wrath"

Under A'malther's divine influence and the upgrade through his multiversal version of SCP-914, SCP-076-2 (A), also known as Able, has evolved into the ultimate embodiment of combat mastery and offensive power. His appearance reflects his role as a destructive force of precision and efficiency, while maintaining the discipline of a proud warrior.

Height and Build: SCP-076-2 (A) now stands at an imposing 11 feet tall, his physique a perfect blend of raw power and agility. His body appears chiseled from a black metallic stone that shimmers with faint traces of gold and crimson veins, resembling cracks that glow with the energy of contained fury. Every movement radiates fluidity and precision, as though he has mastered the very laws of motion.

Armor and Attire:

Ethereal Armor: SCP-076-2 (A) wears lightweight, form-fitting armor forged from an otherworldly alloy that seems to shift between solid and liquid states. The armor is adorned with celestial engravings and sigils, glowing faintly in red and gold, symbolizing destruction, discipline, and the warrior's honor.

Cape of Embers: Draped over his shoulders is a tattered cape that flickers with embers as if perpetually burning without being consumed. The cape occasionally shifts, like smoke in the wind, as though alive, reacting to his mood and movements.

Face and Expression:

Eyes of Wrath: His eyes are pools of swirling fire, glowing with a mixture of red and gold, reflecting both his controlled anger and his boundless focus. Staring into them conveys the sensation of being judged by an unstoppable force.

Mark of the Warrior: His face bears glowing tattoos that stretch across his jawline and forehead, inscribed with ancient symbols representing strength, endurance, and war.

Weapons:

Blades of Infinity: SCP-076-2 (A) wields dual swords that are far beyond any ordinary weapon. Each blade appears forged from a blackened metal that absorbs light, with crimson and gold veins coursing through it. The edges hum with multiversal energy, allowing them to slice through any material, from mundane steel to the fabric of space itself. The swords seem weightless in his hands but unleash devastating force upon contact.

Infinite Arsenal: On command, SCP-076-2 (A) can summon additional weapons from a glowing, circular glyph engraved on his back. Axes, spears, and even ranged weapons materialize from this portal-like glyph, each tailored to counter the specific weaknesses of his enemies.

Aura of Battle:

SCP-076-2 (A) emanates an intense aura of both destruction and discipline.

For Allies: His presence inspires unshakable bravery and focus. Those who fight alongside him feel as though they are part of a perfectly coordinated unit, their own combat abilities heightened by his influence.

For Enemies: To those who oppose him, SCP-076-2 (A) is a living nightmare. His aura creates an overwhelming sense of dread and inevitability, as though every move they make is futile against his superior skill and strength.

Combat Abilities: Mastery of the Multiverse: SCP-076-2 (A)'s combat style has transcended the traditional limitations of time and space. He can anticipate attacks from alternate versions of his enemies, countering them before they even occur.

Speed Beyond Perception: His movements blur the line between reality and illusion, allowing him to strike multiple times in the blink of an eye.

Unyielding Resilience: SCP-076-2 (A) is nearly indestructible in combat, regenerating rapidly by channeling the energy of alternate versions of himself.

Additional Notes:

SCP-076-2 (A)'s transformation has made him the ultimate enforcer of A'malther's divine will. He retains his pride and love for battle but now fights with a focused purpose, channeling his destructive tendencies into disciplined action. His loyalty to A'malther stems not from subjugation but from mutual respect, as A'malther has granted him not only power but the opportunity to perfect his skills and revel in endless, meaningful challenges.

With SCP-076-2 (A) at his side, A'malther possesses the ultimate warrior—a being who can destroy entire armies with precision and efficiency, yet still honor the discipline and pride of the warrior's path.

Additional Observations:

A Unified Aesthetic: Each upgraded SCP now carries a subtle visual connection to A'malther's divine aesthetic—black, gold, and iridescent hues, glowing runes, and an undeniable aura of cosmic authority. These changes not only signify their allegiance but also their enhanced capabilities.

A'tellif and SCP-035: Though their appearances remain consistent with prior upgrades, their presence complements the others, forming a cohesive group of divine enforcers, each embodying a unique role in A'malther's vision of multiversal balance.

This team, radiating power and purpose, stands as a testament to A'malther's ability to shape and mold entities into embodiments of his divine will, creating a force capable of reshaping worlds.

A'malther: "Alright. We do have a clear objective. Mercy is not an option available, but yet, if we can take down and not kill, is better, but if not, focus then in neutralize with murder intentions. Cain, focus on escort humans, so if anything tries to kill them, you will deflect every single attack. A'tellif, vanish and take by surprise anything you can, or prepare ambushes in team. Reptile... You are allowed to destroy anything you need. Able, remain with me, my proud warrior. And my dear doctor, please stay with the Council of this universe, and check their well-being, and the one of any human that come to arrive for safety by Cain."

After giving the orders, they did split up, as if already knowing everything they need to do. SCP-049 did check instantly this universe's O5 Council, they feared at first, but when they saw SCP-049 treating them, and healing them, and it's touch not killing them instantly, they got surprised.

SCP-073, did bring near survivors to where SCP-049 was, along the O5 Council of this universe.

Meanwhile, A'tellif, SCP-682, SCP-076-2, and A'malther, were in the front line, fighting in diverse positions and in ways. A'tellif weakening the opponents and ambushing them, or preparing ambushes to trap. SCP-682 destroying everything, but mostly, the opponents. And SCP-076-2 fighting along A'malther.

They did work as fast as they could, as they had limited time before being pulled back to their universe by time expiring.

After less of an hour, almost all SCPs were already neutralized, and time was running out, and so, they were just going for the kill, neutralize instead of trying to take down.

After some time, the time was ticking for them. They were running low of time, and so, one by one, in the fights, they did kill the SCPs of this universe as fast as they could.

After a big moment, they finally finished, doing something what seemed to be impossible. Then, quickly, A'malther, with the help of SCP-035 locating the position of each one, did teleport everyone who wasn't near this universe's O5 Council and the survivors.

With less of a minute, this universe's O5 Council gave an inform to A'malther, who opened a portal and his entities went inside instantly, closing behind them, while A'malther waited for the time to run out.

After no much later, blue sparkles started appearing around A'malther, and slowly increasing more and more, until suddenly, he vanished with a blue light, along the inform this universe's O5 Council gave him.

A'malther retrieved to O5 (original), and gave them instantly the inform.

A'malther: "This is for you. They gave it to me before getting back."

A'malther talked while panting, clearly tired and exhausted, and with few scratches on his uniform, and gauntlets.

Report from the Alternate Universe O5 Council

The original O5 Council convened in their secured chamber after A'malther returned from his mission in the alternate universe. Clutching the detailed informant dossier provided by the alternate O5 Council, they listened as A'malther recounted the events of the mission while visibly exhausted and bearing signs of combat. The report was as follows:

Key Points from the Alternate O5 Council's Report:

State of Their Universe Post-Mission:

The alternate universe has been stabilized for the time being. With most of their anomalous threats neutralized—either killed or subdued—the immediate danger to survivors has been mitigated. The Veil, however, remains irreparably broken. Public knowledge of the anomalous persists, but the eradication of rogue SCPs provides a slim chance for reconstruction and eventual recovery.

SCPs Neutralized:

All major threats, including SCP-096, SCP-106, and SCP-682, have been eliminated. SCP-035, which had become a multiversal-level manipulator, was destroyed by A'tellif in an ambush coordinated by A'malther and SCP-076-2 (A). Several minor SCPs of lesser significance were also neutralized during the operation.

Civilian Impact:

SCP-073 (A) successfully escorted over 1,200 survivors to safety, shielding them from anomalous threats. SCP-049 (A) treated over 300 civilians and members of the alternate O5 Council, curing numerous injuries and ailments. Approximately 80% of humanity in the alternate universe remains lost, but hope has been reignited for the remaining 20%.

A'malther's Contribution:

A'malther's leadership, tactics, and entities turned the tide in what was previously thought to be an unwinnable situation. His strategic use of his entities allowed for swift and decisive action. The alternate O5 Council expresses their gratitude but also notes the extraordinary level of power A'malther wields. They warn the original O5 Council to monitor him closely, as such power could easily destabilize even their universe if left unchecked.

Warnings for the Original Universe:

SCP-035: The alternate SCP-035's evolution into a multiversal manipulator was the catalyst for the chaos in their universe. The original O5 Council is strongly advised to monitor their SCP-035 closely, especially given its current connection to A'malther.

SCP-682: Though eradicated in their universe, its evolving nature allowed it to wreak havoc on reality itself. Preventative measures are recommended to ensure SCP-682 in the original universe does not adapt similarly.

Potential Residual Threats: The alternate O5 Council notes that their SCP-001 may still linger, even after the other SCPs' destruction. They caution that whatever anomalous force manipulated their reality could be multiversal in scope.

O5 Council Comments and Deliberation: O5-1:

"A'malther's intervention was crucial, but his power is becoming harder to define—and, frankly, harder to control. His panting and fatigue show his limits, but he is still capable of feats that border on rewriting reality. While his intentions seem noble for now, we must ensure his growing influence does not eclipse our authority. The alternate Council's warnings about SCP-035 are not to be taken lightly."

O5-2: "To stabilize an entire universe in under an hour… It's hard to comprehend. Yet, I'm concerned about his entities—particularly SCP-076-2 (A) and SCP-682 (A). Their destructive capabilities may match, if not surpass, the very threats we're trying to contain. Cain's pacifism and SCP-049 (A)'s healing abilities are welcome, but the sheer brutality of his front-line entities could become a liability if ever turned against us."

O5-3: "While the alternate Council's warnings about SCP-035 and SCP-682 are valid, I believe their recommendations come from fear of losing control. Their Veil was shattered; ours remains intact. A'malther is powerful, but we cannot afford to alienate him. He respects our guidance, and that gives us leverage—so long as we remain useful to him."

O5-4: "The psychological effect of his presence is undeniable. If A'malther were ever to turn on us, there's little we could do to stop him or his entities. His panting and exhaustion, while notable, might be temporary; his power appears to grow with every action he takes. If he learns to recover faster… we may lose even the small window of vulnerability he displayed today."

O5-5: "I'm far less concerned with his physical capabilities than I am with his moral compass. A'malther speaks of divinity and balance, but how far does his sense of justice extend? How does he define peace? His neutralization of SCPs in the alternate universe shows he's willing to kill without hesitation when necessary. What happens if he deems us part of the problem?"

O5-6: "We need contingency plans. Immediately. SCP-035 is clearly evolving due to its connection to A'malther. We should request periodic evaluations of the mask's current state and abilities. Additionally, SCP-682 must be monitored carefully for any signs of adaptive evolution similar to what occurred in the alternate universe. The moment either of these entities begins to shift, we must act."

O5-7: "While I respect A'malther's accomplishments, I cannot ignore the power imbalance he creates. The alternate O5 Council's inform raises more questions than it answers. If multiversal-level threats are emerging, we need to decide now whether to align fully with A'malther or prepare for the eventuality of opposing him."

O5-1 (Final Statement):

"Effective immediately, we will initiate a full evaluation of A'malther's current connection to SCP-035 and SCP-682 (A). I also propose increased monitoring of all entities he has recruited into his fold, particularly SCP-049 (A) and SCP-073 (A). While his allegiance remains favorable, we must assume nothing. If another multiversal catastrophe were to arise, he may be our only hope—or our greatest threat."

Conclusion:

The O5 Council acknowledged the success of A'malther's intervention in the alternate universe but remains cautious about his growing power and influence. They resolved to maintain close oversight of him and his entities while preparing contingencies for worst-case scenarios. The alternate O5 Council's warnings have been taken seriously, particularly regarding SCP-035 and SCP-682, prompting a renewed focus on securing these anomalies in the original universe.
