Chapter 229: Chapter 229
Ebony Maw: "How dare you disrespect Lord Thanos!"
Cardia: "You better not end up in my hands one day, or I'll make sure to skewer you!"
Degel: "Enough, Cardia. There's no point arguing with beings from other universes we'll never meet."
Cardia: "Tch, lucky for them."
Tony Stark: "Honestly, talking between worlds with different levels of technology is quite challenging."
Asmita: "Is it? I feel that regardless of technological differences or which universe they're from, humans are fundamentally the same."
Loki: "If we're talking about ignorance, then yes."
Clint Barton: "Shut up! Don't just throw comments like that around!"
Thanatos: "Hmph, as expected, no matter the universe or era, humanity's defining feature is its stupidity."
Diana: "If you had lived among humans, even briefly, you'd know how foolish that statement is. Living with them changes your perspective."
Sasha: "I completely agree. Growing up in a slum allowed me to see the full diversity of humanity."
Diana: "For a god to have lived in the slums—you're truly remarkable, unlike the false gods I've encountered."
Loki: "Hah! Giving up your noble identity—how utterly foolish."
Thanatos: "Indeed. Forgetting the duties of a god to live with mortals—it's pathetic."
Steve Rogers: "You've gone too far! What gives you the right to call humans mere insects?"
Rhodey: "Captain, don't waste your breath. They're not from our world—just treat them like lunatics."
Loki: "Hey! I'm from your universe! Don't let me find you, or I'll—"
Rhodey: "What? Let me kick your butt into next week?"
As the discussions raged on, the screen's mechanical voice cut through the noise.
"Predicting the next containment object—Seraph with a Thousand Wings."
Following the announcement, an image appeared on the screen.
It depicted countless feathers bundled together, with no visible entity.
Shizuka: "Didn't it say angel? Where's the person?"
Sanji: "Could the feathers themselves be the angel?"
Jiraiya: "Containment objects can't be understood through common sense."
["The Seraph with a Thousand Wings appears as a pair of feathered wings, towering at eight meters. Based on the Foundation's analysis, it contains an eight-meter-tall humanoid entity within the wings."]
["When the Foundation first encountered this angel, they attempted to open the wings to see what lay within. However, the attempt resulted in catastrophic destruction."]
["The wings feed on sound. Even the faintest sound triggers rapid feather proliferation toward the sound source, engulfing it completely. Anything touched by the feathers is consumed with no trace left."]
["When the Seraph was discovered, it had already consumed a technologically advanced city."]
The screen shifted to a photo, showing a massive expanse of feathers engulfing highways.
"When we first found this containment object, we thought it was just a large pile of feathers. But as we got closer, we realized how grave a mistake we had made."
The screen then played a video.
It showed a fleet of helicopters approaching the immense feathers.
As they neared, the feathers suddenly proliferated, expanding at an alarming rate to envelop the helicopters.
The pilots opened fire, but the bullets, despite the feathers' delicate appearance, had no effect. Bullets vanished as if swallowed by the feathers.
Before the helicopters could retreat, they were consumed, their signals disappearing entirely.
["The first containment attempt ended in failure, prompting the Foundation's leadership to investigate. Reviewing satellite footage, they sought to uncover the events that led to the city's destruction."]
The screen transitioned to another video.
It showed a bustling city filled with cars and people going about their daily lives. Everything seemed normal.
But within seconds, an apocalyptic scene unfolded.
Feathers erupted from a specific location, engulfing everything they touched—people, buildings, vehicles—nothing was spared.
The feathers proliferated rapidly, consuming entire city blocks in under thirty minutes.
Panic ensued. People fled, and authorities deployed weapons to resist.
But no weapon could harm the feathers. Nothing could stop their expansion.
When the feathers had consumed the entire city and its outskirts, they finally stopped.
["The Foundation's leadership, horrified by the footage, designated the object as the Seraph with a Thousand Wings and sought alternative containment methods."]
["Their next approach was to use missiles for destruction."]
The screen showed another video.
Countless missiles descended from the sky toward the massive feathers.
But as the missiles neared, the feathers surged toward them, consuming them mid-air. The expected explosions never occurred.
This attack not only failed to harm the Seraph but further expanded its reach.
["Subsequent experiments revealed the Seraph's characteristics at great cost. It feeds on sound waves, and every feather has auditory capabilities. Even the faintest sound causes the feathers to proliferate toward the source until it is completely consumed. Only absolute silence halts its growth."]
["Though its material appears ordinary, no weapon in the world can damage it."]
