[New Fanfics For The Week Poll!!] [THE POLL IS UP!! IT'S FREE!]
[I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived!]
[Savior in the DC Universe]
[Marvel: I Started by Containing SCPs]
After the successful containment of the fire entity, numerous comments appeared on the screen.
Luffy: "So cool! You ninjas have such awesome techniques! Summoning such huge animals to help is amazing!"
Nobita: "Yeah, I wish I could be like you guys too!"
In the world of One Piece, Luffy became more excited the more he thought about it. He began to play a summoning game with Chopper.
"Summoning technique! Chopper, come out!"
"Yes!"
Luffy imitated Jiraiya's hand movements, slapping the ground, and Chopper transformed into his human form, lifting Luffy. The two played enthusiastically, much to the amusement of their crewmates, who had grown accustomed to such antics.
Sengoku: "Even our universe's Haki can be a reward? This screen is unbelievable!"
Ancient One: "Heh, the power behind this screen is beyond our comprehension. Our prized abilities are probably insignificant to the entity behind this screen."
Goku: "That strong? Haha, I'd love to fight one of these SCPs. I wonder if there are any really powerful ones."
Piccolo: "Goku, we're already struggling with the Saiyans. We don't have time for this!"
Vegeta: "Hmph, these SCPs are just weaklings trying to scare Earthlings."
Thor: "Though I don't like you invaders, I agree these SCPs aren't impressive. One strike from my hammer would take care of them."
In the world of Ultraman Leo.
Gen, after reading the comments, looked at Tsunade and Jiraiya on the screen. Although they were human, their abilities impressed him and even posed a threat.
Tsunade's large-scale healing and protection would be incredibly useful in his world. Many lives are lost daily to monsters and aliens. With Tsunade's abilities, many could be saved.
Then there's Jiraiya. His combined ninjutsu's power made Leo feel threatened. If hit by such a powerful water cannon, he would likely be injured.
"Humans from other universes are so strong. I must become stronger too!"
Gen was once again filled with determination, eager to grow more powerful.
Meanwhile, Ryner had received his new reward after the successful containment of the fire entity.
"Fire Demon contained successfully. The host gains the ability to start fires and devour flames."
Upon hearing the system's voice, Ryner a scorching sensation throughout his body. When he opened his mouth, he spat out flames.
Before he could react, the flames fell on the sofa, scaring him into trying to extinguish them. But with a mere thought, the flames flew back into his mouth and were absorbed.
The process was so quick that Ryner barely had time to comprehend it.
At that moment, the screen's image switched.
"Now predicting the next SCP, the Mimic."
The screen displayed an image of a bright red creature. This creature had a large mouth filled with sharp teeth but no other facial features. Its head was large, with feather-like protrusions on the back. It had a human-like but more muscular and larger body, with long limbs ending in sharp claws. It looked utterly repulsive.
As the new SCP appeared, everyone focused on the screen to see what this creature was.
"The Mimic can imitate any human voice and enjoys hunting humans. They move in the darkness, luring targets by mimicking voices, sometimes driving them to madness."
After the explanation, the screen showed a scene in an unknown country where a woman was looking for her child.
"Son, where are you? Where did you run off to?"
It seemed like a typical scenario where a child had wandered off while playing, leaving the mother searching frantically. But those familiar with SCPs knew it wouldn't be that simple.
"Mom, I'm here."
A child's voice came from around a corner.
"Oh, there you are."
Relieved, the mother hurried toward the voice.
"Son, you mustn't do this again."
As she turned the corner to scold her child, her expression changed as if she saw something horrifying.
In front of her wasn't her child but the creature shown on the screen. The creature was chewing on something, blood dripping from its teeth. Looking down, the mother saw her child's head.
Her son had already been devoured by this creature.
"Ahhhh!!"
Seeing her son's head and the creature, the mother screamed in horror. The Mimic immediately lunged at her, biting her neck.
"Crack."
The sound of her neck breaking was audible as the Mimic tore her head off and began feasting on it.
"Help!"
At that moment, a man ran out from a nearby alley.
"Little brother, don't run. Don't you want to play?"
A sweet voice called out from behind, but it wasn't a cute girl. It was another terrifying Mimic.
The sweet voice came from the mouth of this monstrous creature, making it even more eerie. The Mimic caught up to the man, its sharp claws piercing his chest, killing him instantly.
The creature then began devouring the man. The screen zoomed out, revealing similar scenes on nearby streets.
In different corners, people were being lured by the Mimic's voices, only to become their prey. Once the humans were all eaten, the Mimic Beasts quietly left, either waiting for new prey or moving to another location.
"Although the Mimic is formidable, human weapons can still deal with it. The issue is that they are not solitary; they are a species spread across the world. The Foundation has spent considerable effort trying to contain and eliminate them but has yet to succeed. Nonetheless, we will not give up."
After this message, the screen went dark.
The viewers were left in shock. The ability to mimic voices to lure prey into a deadly trap was, in some ways, more terrifying than the visible threats of fire demons and carnivorous vines.

Chopper: "This Mimic doesn't seem as intimidating as the previous Vines and Fire Demons. It can probably just block bullets."
Gohan: "Yeah, it doesn't look that impressive."
Bruce Wayne: "The issue lies in its stealth. The Mimic, like an assassin, lurks in the shadows and exists in scattered groups, making it challenging to clear out. There's always the risk of being ambushed."
Natasha: "Indeed, it's troublesome. Mimicking familiar voices can easily lower one's guard."
Zoro: "Really? It doesn't seem that dangerous. This so-called Mimic doesn't look very capable."
Tony Stark: "Exactly. As long as I'm wearing my Mark suit, it can't hurt me."
Vegeta: "Hmph, this trash only troubles weaklings. It's nothing to real warriors."
Diana: "Though I don't like you, you're right. If you're strong enough, these creatures are no threat."
Opinions on the Mimic varied widely.
DC Universe, Batman's Base
Bruce Wayne frowned at Diana's comment.
"This Diana is no ordinary person. Could she be a superhuman?"
Bruce Wayne was no stranger to superhumans, with Gotham City housing numerous superpowered criminals. However, most were manageable with his methods.
"But this Mimic..."
Looking at the Mimic on the screen, Bruce Wayne felt particularly disturbed, reminiscent of the tragic murder of his parents in a dark alley when he was young.
"Mimicking loved ones to lure people into traps, this monster!"
Bruce Wayne clenched his fists in anger. He couldn't accept such a thing. If these creatures appeared in his city, he'd find a way to eliminate them!
Nick Fury: "Strange, the screen content is continuing. Is there more to the Mimic Beast?"
Nick Fury's comment drew everyone's attention.
Yes, usually after introducing a containment creature, the screen would predict its appearance location. Why was it still playing?
"The SCP predicted this time is not alone."
The electronic voice sounded again, shocking everyone!
What? This prediction involves more than one creature! What other terrifying monsters are there?
Everyone stared at the screen, not wanting to miss a detail.
On the screen, a man walked down the street with a kitchen knife, muttering to himself.
"Come out, you monsters. Come on, come out. You think you can just eat my wife and child and get away with it? I'm not afraid of you. Come out!"
The man swung the knife and shouted, seemingly searching for the Mimic Beast.
Most people would avoid such creatures, but this man, driven by the loss of his wife and child, was determined to confront them.
"Darling, I'm here."
A woman's voice, the same as the one looking for her child earlier, echoed near the man.
He turned and saw the Mimic Beast hanging upside down from the ceiling, mocking him with a human-like expression before lunging at him.
Seeing this, many viewers sighed, some even laughed, assuming the man was doomed.
Facing such a terrifying creature with just a kitchen knife was not bravery but recklessness.
However, what happened next stunned everyone.
The Mimic Beast, just about to close its jaws on the man, suddenly stopped, showing a pained expression.
Its throat strained, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't close its mouth, as if something invisible was holding it open.
"Die!"
Instead of fear, the man, his eyes full of rage, thrust the kitchen knife into the Mimic Beast's throat!
Surprisingly, the knife easily sliced through the creature's throat, causing blood to gush out.
The Mimic Beast fell, writhing in pain.
"Die! Die!"
The man didn't stop, furiously hacking at the beast until it was reduced to a bloody pulp.
This gory scene made some viewers cover their eyes, but most were shocked.
Tony Stark: "What's going on? How did this ordinary man kill such a creature?"
Nick Fury: "I remember someone shooting at it earlier, but the bullets bounced off. Why could this knife penetrate it?"
Franky: "This man is brave! Facing such a monster, he's a real man!"
Bruce Wayne: "That's not the point!"
Ancient One: "Could this seemingly ordinary man have some special trait?"
Doraemon: "This is odd. The focus should be on the Mimic Beast, so why is this man the protagonist now?"
Everyone agreed, realizing something was off.
On the screen, the man finally stopped his rampage, panting heavily, tears streaming down his face as he looked at the bloody mess before him.
He had avenged his wife and child.
"Ring ring!"
Just then, the man received a phone call. Upon answering, he was berated by the caller.
"Where the hell have you been? Do you think you can skip work just because your family died? Get back here and work overtime, or I'll dock your entire month's pay. Besides, you don't have a family to go home to anymore, so work more!"
The caller was the man's boss, known for exploiting his employees and withholding wages. The man had tolerated it for his family, but now he had nothing left to lose.
Silently hanging up, he left with the knife.
The scene shifted to a chaotic company office, where the man was chasing his boss with the kitchen knife.
The boss, who had been so arrogant over the phone, was now crying and running for his life, pursued by the enraged man.
Several people tried to stop him but failed. Either they were knocked aside, or their attempts missed entirely, seemingly by chance.
Finally, armed police arrived, guns drawn, bringing a turning point.
