NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24: Encountering Such An SCP, Even Death Would Be A Luxury!
[SCP-469 appears to "feed" exclusively on sound waves, using the energy gained from sound to grow newer and bigger wings and feathers, as well as repairing damaged ones.]
[The louder the sound and/or the higher the frequency, the faster SCP-469 grows. ]
[Though it can be sustained by any sound, it seems to have a preference for rhythmic/musical noises, especially those produced by bells. ]
[SCP-469 itself, however, seems to make no noise whatsoever due to the sound-absorbing structure of its plumage.]
...…
SHIELD Headquarters.
Seeing this information, the agents looked at each other in dismay.
"A Special Containment that feeds on sound"? "How is that even possible"? One of the agents exclaimed!
"Sound is a type of energy made by vibrations, and this energy can sometimes be used to alter the genes of some plants and animals". "But this SCP-469 absorbs sound from any source, using it to enhance its physiology". "This simply violates the law of conservation of energy"! A SHIELD scientist said, quite astonished.
Some of the SHIELD agents looked at him and thought, which one of those Special Contained objects don't break the laws of physics?
.....
Nick Fury on the side had a worried look on his face. The first thing he thought of was, what if this Many Winged Angel appears on earth? After all, sound exists almost everywhere on earth. Whether it's people, technology or nature, sound can be found almost anywhere.
As long as this Many Winged Angel appears on earth, it will definitely grow bigger and faster. By then, it'll be even harder to restrain.
"Hopefully, it doesn't appear in a crowded place". "Not only will that make it grow faster, but it'll cause more casualties"! Nick Fury said in an anxious tone.
"And more importantly, that large humanoid creature at the centre of it may be the most dangerous". "Since it's hard to study it remotely, it may hold unknown dangers". Nick Fury murmured.
...
Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters.
"It feeds exclusively on sound waves"? Professor X was momentarily stunned.
He was just thinking of Black Bolt, and now there's an anomaly that's his perfect nemesis. "No, this creature might merely consider him food"!
"But then again, Black Bolt's sound waves are too destructive". "And the wings of this anomaly can be penetrated by X-rays, perhaps Black Bolt's power might be too powerful for it to absorb". Professor X pondered.
But then he dispelled those thoughts. Black Bolt, and the entire Inhuman race are all in Attilan, which is located somewhere on the moon. "It's not possible for this Many Winged Angel to appear there, right"? He thought to himself.
...
New York. Stark Tower.
Seeing this bit of information, Tony who had just gotten back was completely stunned. "An Angel that absorbs sound waves and uses it to strengthen itself"?
If he heard such an unscientific thing in the past, he would have scoffed at it. But after his experience with The Plague Doctor, nothing seems impossible anymore.
"Fortunately, this anomaly can't make sound by itself, or it would've been much harder to contain". Tony thought.
...…
On the light curtain, more information about the description appeared.
[Any human or animal that touches or gets too close to the surface of the creature will be quickly enveloped by the outstretching wings and drawn inside. ]
[Despite the feathers' soft appearance, each barb has a sharp point that quickly pierces through clothing and into bare flesh, releasing a potent mix of stimulants that immediately activates the pain receptors in the victim's body, with additional stimulants keeping the victim from passing out too quickly. ]
[This is done to make the victim scream loudly, thus feeding SCP-469 even more until the victim either passes out or dies of blood loss and/or suffocation from being buried beneath newly-grown wings. ]
After this bit of information appeared, many people online reacted with shock!
"What the fuck"! This thing picks a target, and just tortures it to death"?
"Wha... what the hell"? "This thing is so evil"! "Why is it called an Angel"? "Angels should be righteous, this… this is just evil"!
"My perception of angels have been completely shattered"!
"Perhaps this is just a creature that resembles an angel"! "It doesn't necessarily mean it's an actual angel".
"..."
New York. Stark Tower.
Tony couldn't help but shudder after seeing this information..
"Perhaps the humanoid creature at the centre of this anomaly is what makes it extremely dangerous". "If it tortures people and keeps them alive to absorb more sound, then it's definitely intelligent"! Tony said in shock.
This Many Winged Angel is far more terrifying than that Plague Doctor who only targets those he thinks have the Pestilence.
After a while, he calmed down and thought to himself, "Encountering such an SCP, even death would be a luxury"
...…
On the light curtain, the last bit of information appeared.
[Currently, all termination methods of SCP-469 have been unsuccessful. ]
