Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: Black Bolt Is in Custody? The End of Attilan!

Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room who were still guessing Angel's identity were stunned.

We guessed for a long time, something like a fiery angel, something like an abnormal creature with wings...

Guessed all wrong?

Angel of Ten Thousand Wings, does it really mean ten thousand wings?

A strange creature made of a bunch of wings can also be called an Angel?

Although they were surprised, as new content appeared, everyone quickly focused their attention.

[X-rays revealed that these wings have a hollow bone structure similar to that of other birds, but these bones are extremely flexible and tough, allowing the wings to bend and curl to angles that other birds - in fact, no vertebrate - can achieve.]

[At the center of the object is a large humanoid creature curled up in a fetal position, with all wings connected to its spine.]

[SCP-469 seems to feed exclusively on sound and sound waves, using the energy gained from them to renew and grow its wings and feathers. The louder the sound and the higher the frequency, the faster SCP-469 grows.]

[Due to the sound-absorbing structure of its wings, SCP-469 does not appear to make any sound.]

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Seeing the new content, a picture suddenly appeared in the minds of the agents -

A huge humanoid creature covered in countless wings...

Then they looked at each other.

"No wonder the doctor repeatedly emphasized that no sound can be made..." Natasha Romanoff said in astonishment:

"It turns out that this thing feeds on sound and sound waves!"

Nick Fury standing by also had a serious expression on his face.

As the Director of SHIELD,

When he sees a new containment, the first thing he considers is,

The harmfulness of the objects being collected, and the difficulty of collecting them.

And this Angel of Ten Thousand Wings can grow as long as it has a voice.

If it appeared on Earth, wouldn't it be able to grow indefinitely?

By then, even if we do nothing, those terrifying wings alone will be enough to cause a devastating disaster...

"Sure enough, there is no simple Keter-level containment!"

Nick Fury muttered.

Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.

"Feeding on sound, you can continue to grow? Isn't that a coincidence?"

The image of Black Bolt subconsciously emerged in Professor X's mind.

That guy can emit destructive sound waves. If the two of them meet,

Professor X shook his head, shook off his scattered thoughts, and focused on the screen again.

[Any person or animal that comes too close to or touches the surface of this creature will be quickly wrapped by the outstretched wings and pulled inside.]

[Although the feathers are very soft, the tips of each hair are extremely sharp and will quickly pierce through clothing and enter the flesh, releasing a neurotoxin that can immediately stimulate pain receptors in the body and simultaneously stimulate other parts to ensure that the victim does not die too quickly.]

[This toxin causes the victim to scream loudly [further feeding SCP-469 until the victim dies of shock. SCP-469 has killed four people in this way.]

[All attempts to destroy SCP-469 have failed. The first attempt was to use a flamethrower, but the sound of the flames and the flames made SCP-469 grow faster than it could be destroyed. The use of shears also failed because they require close range and resulted in the loss of two agents.]

Seeing this, the live broadcast room, which was full of discussions just now, suddenly exploded.

"WTF? What the hell is this ability?"

"After catching the prey, instead of rushing to kill it, they inject poison... making the victim scream continuously. Isn't this too perverted?"

"What else? This is an anomaly, a Keter-level abnormality!"

"Another anomaly that cannot be killed. Tsk tsk, the people in this world are too pitiful..."

S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Obviously, injecting toxins and stimulating the victim to make sounds is for the purpose of feeding."

Nick Fury said firmly: "Don't forget, this guy's food is not humans, but...sounds!"

"After being poisoned, he screamed until he died of shock..." Natasha Romanoff's face turned pale: "Oh my God, what a painful way to die."

She looked at the screen and couldn't help but worry: "If this thing is so dangerous, why does the Foundation bother to collect feather samples?"

Nick Fury sighed: "It's because it's dangerous that we have to deal with it."

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the bald doctor on the screen who looked like a serious, old-fashioned man was not so annoying after all.

Kamar-Taj.

"Fortunately, it's not a divine creature... nor is it a god..."

Ancient One subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But he immediately became worried: "It cannot be executed. This thing is a time bomb..."

Who can guarantee that there won't be any noise?

Even if human activities can be controlled, what about natural disasters?

The content of the file ends here, but for Leon Lake and others, the real danger has just begun.

With the help of technicians, the doctors participating in the experiment put on standard sound-proof and anti-vibration protective clothing.

This thing can completely absorb the sounds they make within a certain range.

But even so, there was still one researcher whose face was pale, without a trace of blood.

"Walter, how are you?" The bald doctor frowned and said, "If you are not in good condition, you can participate in the project next time..."

"No! Doctor, I can!" Walter swallowed and barely suppressed his nervousness.

Finally, after making all preparations, everyone entered SCP-469's containment room.

From the outside, the administration room looks like a large crystal coffin.

469's huge body came into everyone's sight.

Its huge body almost filled the entire containment room, and countless feathers wrapped around its wings, one covering another...

As for 469's true body, it was recorded in the wings and could not be seen clearly at all.

469 is a sleeping angel, every feather of which shines with divine light.

At the moment, everyone, whether inside or outside the screen, held their breath, fearing even the slightest noise.

The leading doctor used a special instrument gently to hold up a feather.

Who knew, at this moment!

"Ding-ling-ling~"

"Ding-ling-ling~"

The phone in Walter's arms suddenly rang.

The pupils of all the doctoral researchers suddenly shrank!

Cardiac arrest!

Normally, this sound is just an ordinary alarm clock.

But now, this sound is like a fatal note!

The audience in the live broadcast room all felt a shudder in their hearts!

not good!

Next second!

Angel…

Resurrected!

Countless feathers spread out as the wings danced.

The entire containment room was filled in an instant!

Cracks then began to appear on the transparent walls of the containment chamber.

This is the sound of the wall collapsing.

Boom boom!

This is the sound of everyone's heartbeat like a drum!

"No, no, it's not me, I..." Walter tightly grasped the phone in his hand, his face pale.

He looked at the outstretched wings in despair. As the feathers came towards him, his pupils suddenly shrank into a point!

"Ah!!!!"

The miserable scream broke the peace that Leon Lake and others tried so hard to maintain.

Boom!

The body of the Angel of the Ten Thousand Wings suddenly swelled!

At this moment, a researcher had only one thought!

Escape!

Desperate researchers scrambled toward the outside of the containment chamber.

Behind them,

SCP-469 quickly awakens and spreads its numerous wings!

It stood at its maximum height, with many smaller wings resembling full plate armor completely covering its humanoid body.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room was stunned.

Immediately, a tsunami of comments emerged!

"WTF? What the hell is wrong with this researcher? How could he make such a stupid mistake?"

"Oh my god, it's only been a short time, and Angel of the Ten Thousand Wings has already shown such a big change?"

"Isn't this growth rate too amazing?"

"If this appeared on Earth, it would easily destroy a city..."

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury stared at the screen.

He didn't expect that such a small mistake would lead to the containment failure of SCP-469.

"Keter-level containment, there really can't be any mistakes..."

Seeing this, he was worried, but also wanted to know how the foundation would react.

However,

Seeing the next scene, his body trembled suddenly!

The wings of the Angel of the Ten Thousand Wings wrapped around the culprit, Walter, and injected venom into his body.

Soon, Walter's cry became loud and penetrating!

His miserable howls seemed to echo throughout the entire site.

However, unexpectedly, the Angel of the Ten Thousand Wings did not shift its target to Leon Lake and the others, but instead suddenly spread its wings!

Boom!!!

Countless wings easily tore open the ceiling of the containment room, and then the Angel of the Ten Thousand Wings flapped its wings and climbed upstairs at a terrifying speed!

The reinforced concrete walls looked like they were made of paper and were completely unable to stop 469!

I watched it spread its wings all the way and reach the roof outside.

Da da da!

Da da da!

The security personnel who had been waiting on the ground immediately pulled the trigger.

The dense bullets formed a fire net, sweeping towards the Angel of the Ten Thousand Wings!

Phew~

Puff~

The bullets hit the feathers and were exhausted before they reached 469's body.

However,

Although small-caliber fire failed to slow the entity, it did succeed in removing a large amount of feathers from its body.

What's terrifying is that even if these feathers are knocked off and touch a person, they can instantly poison him or her!

The audience in the live broadcast room stared at the sci-fi scene on the screen that looked like the Earth Defense Force besieging an alien monster!

It's so addictive!

But surprisingly, 469 didn't seem to want to fight with the security personnel.

Once on the roof, SCP-469 raised its arms above its head and leapt!

Swish!!!

Countless wings flapped, and a storm suddenly exploded on the ground!

As its wings propelled it into the air, the resulting shockwave caused further damage to the facility's roof.

469 leaped up, like a cannonball, and flew straight into the sky!

The speed is so fast that it almost exceeds the dynamic visual limit of the human eye!

When Leon Lake and his companions first arrived on the ground, the first thing they saw was a mess of buildings!

The whole place seemed to be swept by a mess of curly hair.

Then I heard an agent yelling:

"Damn! This thing has a muzzle velocity of over 1,200 miles per hour!

1,200 mph?

Leon Lake looked up and saw 469 already appeared in the sky!

With each flap of its wings, SCP-469 rises faster and faster!

But with each burst of speed, it also shed more and more feathers.

"Wrong!"

Leon Lake frowned and said: "Something is wrong with it!"

Sure enough, on the third wingbeat, SCP-469's ascent began to slow rapidly due to the loss of feathers.

On its fifth wingbeat, SCP-469 lost approximately 50% of its feathers and began to fall toward the ground.

It seemed to be desperately grasping at the sky above and began to flap its wings faster, but to no avail.

In a few seconds!

Everyone only heard a loud bang!

469 fell.

But when Leon Lake and his team of researchers and agents found 469, it had lost nearly 80% of its feathers and body!

"No matter how many wings you have, you can't escape the control of the Foundation."

The bald doctor looked at the miserable 469 and said calmly.

Hearing this, Nick Fury of SHIELD was stunned.

Then he suddenly widened his eyes and said in amazement: "No wonder..."

He had been curious before why a Keter-level containment object allowed so many people to conduct research at the same time.

Especially a guy like 469 who can easily get into big trouble if he's not careful.

Turned out to be…

The Foundation has already considered measures to deal with containment breaches...

He subconsciously looked at the blue sky on the screen, as if he could see through the screen and see some existence in the invisible...

Ultimately, SCP-469 was recovered without resistance and placed in a temporary containment unit until its original containment chamber could be repaired and reinforced.

...

Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.

Only after seeing 469 being contained again did Professor X breathe a sigh of relief.

The battle started quickly and ended quickly.

If 469 hadn't intended to leave any legacy from the beginning, more than just a few people would have died in this incident!

Just as he was still immersed in the shock brought by 469, a figure appeared behind him:

"Professor, something happened in Attilan."
