Chapter 133 - Chapter-122 Atanti-ql-Paneu

"Hikaru-san, this is Scp-682. We call it; The Unkillable Lizard. For the sake of humanity, we have to kill it as soon as possible but everything we do to it has been a complete failure because it can develop an immunity to everything thrown against it, and we fear that using a nuclear weapon on Scp-682 will just make it develop an immunity towards to it, which will be the end of humanity as we know it." The young researcher that had a conversation with him earlier, explained as they stared at the computer screen in front of them with Scp-682 just lazily lying on the ground with his body full of numerous injuries that would've killed normal creatures.

Hikaru gained an interest towards this creature after he heard about it from two researchers talking about it. A creature that could develop an immunity to anything? It is also as intelligent as humans? That is absolutely amazing! He could add it to his peerage and have it become one of his generals!

Though he is also curious about the young girl they call "Scp-053". Apparently, she is the manifestation of death and can kill anyone within a certain radius around her. She has also "tamed" Scp-682 and was able to just draw around its body, which is pretty surprising for Hikaru, since he just saw soldiers of the foundation try to kill it and fail with many causalities.

He guessed that this SCP Foundation is full of creatures he can add to his darkness peerage.

His darkness pieces will turn any creatures into dark beings with their most powerful sin being enhanced by the pieces. They will retain their original appearance and abilities, but their race has been changed and they will have more powers in their arsenals.

For example, if Scp-682 became one of his generals, it will gain the power to control darkness a little bit, enhance its physical capabilities and endurance by a hundred folds, gain mana if it doesn't have mana already, and make it basically immortal if Scp-682 is not already immortal.

It is also noted that Scp-682's can shrink to the size of a dog or grow big to the size of godzilla, which is a big problem for the Foundation.

Hikaru stared at the screen of the computer with great interest. The giant lizard was still alive, and by no small amount that is a small deed.

He is basically drooling at the aspect of such wrathful creatures being his mount, although many creatures in the universe can probably greater than this creature but still, it's a cool monster.

"Can I meet it personally?" He asked the young researcher, who's name is Thomas White, right beside him.

Thomas was taken aback by that, because no sane person would want to meet a creature like Scp-682 but then he remembered that this person is a god, so he said, "Yes, but just be sure you can take care of yourself."

"Yeah, don't worry." He can blast this whole planet into oblivion, what can a mere lizard do to him?

Thomas was about to turn around to open the door and leave with Hikaru to go to the cage of Scp-682, when he turned around a little to see the self-proclaimed god gone. And behind him, the screen of the computer showed Hikaru in front of Scp-682.

He… didn't know what just happened, when suddenly he remembered something.

"Ah, yes, he has the power of teleportation." He just decided to watch the interaction of Hikaru with Scp-682.

He called his colleagues to watch with him.

(With Hikaru)

He stared at the hard-to-kill-reptile to take a look at its power lever, and Scp-682 also observed him out of complete wariness but he quickly looked away out of fear.

[ Name: Atanti-ql-Paneu

Power Level: 2200]

'Ah, a Tier 6 being. An Ultimate Class power level, he is weaker than I thought he was but that will change once he becomes my general.' Hikaru mused.

Scp-682 did not dare to look at him, not even glancing at him anymore. It just knew by instincts that this "human" in front of him is no human at all. He doesn't reek of death nor life, only emptiness. But it reeks of power and complete authority. While humans cannot sense creatures like this one in front of it, every creature in the wild would've completely ran away before even seeing a glance at him.

Scp-682 stood up a little and bowed its head in front of Hikaru.

He smiled, and said, "Atanti, was it? You're quite an amazing creature, and do not take my praise lightly. I am here for only one thing; become my general and you will gain untold amounts of power! Stronger than any creatures you have faced! Even stronger than a god!"

Atanti didn't care about this "human" knowing his name, but it was amazed by how much force and authority was in Hikaru's voice. This… being must've been a monarch for some time, a king of millions.

But what does he mean by being his general?

"I see that you're quite confused, so let me explain it to you. I want to recruit powerful creatures with large amounts of potential, and you have that potential. You have the potential to be one of the most powerful creatures in this universe! So I am here to recruit you to become my general and lead my soldiers, Atanti-pl-Paneu! Though I still don't have any soldiers for you to lead, but I will soon." Hikaru explained.

It didn't know what this being is talking about, but it loves interesting things and becoming a general for this being is interesting. But he is only a steed for her, his rider is still inside this facility, still stuck in the body and mind of a child.

It took a bit of effort, but Atanti managed to completely stand up and bow in front of Hikaru.

"Then, my king, " It felt like that's appropriate for his new master, "Can you please recruit someone? She is my rider, one of the few creatures known for spreading Death. I can also recommend a few for you to recruit, Conquest, War, and Pestilence." It's rough and deep voice echoed throughout the containment room, which the researchers heard behind the monitors of their computers.

Hikaru perked up, knowing those names immediately, "Conquest, War, and Pestilence? And the one you are talking about is, ah, Death? So, the Four Hors.e.m.e.n Of Apocalypse? Huh, what a coincidence. Then you must be the Pale Horse. But why are you not pale just like in the stories?"

He has known about those four in the years he traveled the elemental nation back then. Conquest, War, Plague, and Death. Those four were the most common things you would see in the entirety of the elemental nation. Konohagakure was peaceful, but outside of the village was a world full of endless and bottomless nightmares. He saw many small villages fight for conquest, wars brought drought, many people, even children, starved due to famine, and then thousands died because of some unknown plague.

He saw children as thin as sticks, a.d.u.l.ts fought for a single loaf of bread, and mothers were forced to prostitution just to have enough money to feed their children, which brought them more children.

Even now, when the 4th Shinobi War finished 4 years ago, many still live in miserable lives due to the fact that some people have ambitions to conquer a small village or a land.

It's really stupid how humans in the Elemental Nation think that war will fix anything. It just brings more hatred, then vengeance, and repeat.

"My old form vanished when my rider disappeared, that's why you can only see this current form of mine. My rider was reincarnated many decades ago, yet her body never grows older. Unless my rider awakens, I cannot leave this place." Atanti explained, enlightening him.

"Then why do you seek to kill them? The humans, I mean." Hikaru asked with a bit of confusion in his voice.

It sneered, or at least he thought so, and harshly said, "Humans are pathetic creatures, they are fools and stupidity only erodes them. The biblical god created them, embraced them with love, and yet they were fooled by some toothy serpent to betray his trust. I only kill them for some fun and enjoyment to pass time." Though it didn't show it, Hikaru could hear a bit of jealousy in its voice.

He decided not to delve further in its mind, lest it becomes distrustful towards him.

Some of the researchers listening to their conversation were fuming at the words of the lizard. It has killed thousands, and yet it has no shred of guilt in its voice.

Thomas only watched and listened carefully, writing some notes in his notebook from time to time. This is a very important moment for them, a chance to find some breakthrough to the endless mystery of the SCPs. This is no time for anger.

Hikaru didn't really care, humans are just one of the infinite amounts of races in the multiverse. Killing these humans wouldn't affect this universe. He understood humans, because, in a way, they are the closest creatures to demons. They devour anything in their path, kill innocent creatures without a shred of remorse, and would always attack their own kind.

They are pathetic in a way also.

They struggle everyday just to live for their tomorrow.

But, the thing is, tomorrow is not a promise, it is just a hope. A hope that you will live for tomorrow.

They are so weak that they could die from a piece of rock being thrown at them.

Yet, in a way, their struggles are kind of poetic.

Anyway, his real goal for now is world domination and he wants to find his own generals to conquer this world.

His second plan is to disable their nuclear weapons, so that they won't have any way to fight back. And then, the finishing blow: Announce his presence to the entire world and let them see his overwhelming power.

Hikaru took out a dark pawn piece and inserted it into SCP-682's head. Then, the giant lizard exploded into dusts of black particles before slowly reforming.

It slowly transformed into something different.

First, it skin became pitch black before it was covered by a mane so dark that it canceled out light, and then SCP-682's skin and mane slowly started to become whiter than snow.

And finally, there it stood, a pale lizard with the features of a lion, four long feet standing straight with its head proudly rising up. Its giant body slowly grew before it was 10 times larger than before, breaking the roof of the containment room, revealing the afternoon sky. Two small wings sprouted from its head, making it look somehow angelic.

Its majestic form practically roared for attention.

He saw its power level slowly rising until it stopped at [44,000]. This being in front of him is now stronger than both Zeus and Sirzech combined when they are in their base forms! Maybe even stronger!

Now, it looked exactly like in the legends. The pale horse, except the only thing missing was the sickly figure on top of it. He'll have to get his new general's former master, Death herself.

Atanti-ql-Paneu bowed in front of him with the utmost reverence as it said, "My king, please take my utmost gratitude for returning me to my glorified form. This white form of mine shall be seen in every battle you face from here on out, and along with my rider, that is my oath! Death to those who face you! Death to those who dare to defy you! And Death! To those who will dare to betray you!"

The earth under the now albino lizard crushed due to the sheer force of its limbs. The containment room that contained the lizard was now destroy because of the sheer intensity of its deep and rough voice.

The researchers watching this scene unfold through the computers in their watch room were all scared shitless. Whatever Hikaru gave to that lizard was a very dangerous object! They can practically feel fear and despair slowly crawling up to them from just seeing its new form!

It grew 10 times larger, its strength grew stronger than before, and the energy reading they are feeling from SCP-682 is way off the charts! It is basically a new deity now!

They just hope that Hikaru won't let that thing loose.

(Scene Change)

He didn't understand why Atanti's power level grew that much, since it should've just increased its power by tenfold. But then he remembered that it also gained the power to wield Mana Energy, or basically, Magic, after absorbing the dark pawn piece.

He decided that Atanti is now a Tier 9 Being, but he doesn't know where that ends. He'll decide later, he's got better things to do.

"Let's get your rider, she must be around here somewhere. I'll ask those researchers."
