Mash-up Anime World: Creating the SCP Foundation to Contain Anomalies

"It seems, young man, that you recognize us," Pixis said with a smile.

He might have been flattering himself. But as a commander and the president, they certainly had an imposing presence.

Ordinary soldiers stood before them with the utmost respect, speaking with hesitation and stammering. But Haruto was so casual, merely observing the two men without curiosity.

Haruto nodded.

"Commander Pixis, and Mr. President, both of you are famous figures."

Pixis smiled without responding.

The President spoke in a deep voice, "Haruto, the reason we have invited you here today is to decide the fate of humanity."

His words were direct.

There was no beating around the bush. The so-called President was the supreme commander of the military corps, the President of the human faction.

The power structure of Paradis Island was quite peculiar.

Haruto remained silent, waiting for the President to continue speaking.

"The intelligence you provided has been largely verified. The current king is a fraud, and the nobles hold private armies for their own benefit. I have mobilized part of the Military Police Brigade and temporarily taken control of their equipment. The Military Police will not interfere in this operation.

The Survey Corps and the Garrison Regiment will also participate in this action, making their own decisions and contributions for the fate of humanity.

But before we take action, there are two issues for which we need your assistance."

The President outlined the corps' plan.

Listening to this, even Haruto couldn't help but be impressed.

Their actions were swift and decisive.

The two greatest obstacles in dealing with the nobles and the false king were the private armies and the Military Police.

The Military Police Brigade answered directly to the royal family. Even as the President, he couldn't command all of them. So instead, he directly used insiders within the Military Police to seize control of their equipment.

With this, the Military Police were essentially "retired" from this coup.

As for the private armies, the Garrison Regiment would suppress them. It might be troublesome, but it wouldn't be an unsolvable problem.

And the Survey Corps, being an elite force, would likely storm the royal palace and play a decisive role.

It was foreseeable that many people would die in this coup.

But with such swift and decisive action, the situation would be controlled in a very short time.

As for the President's two questions, Haruto more or less guessed what they were.

"First, provide intelligence on the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan so that the Survey Corps can capture them. If there are any other Titans within the walls, provide intelligence on them as well so that we can take control of the situation.

Second, provide concrete proof of 'Marley's' existence and describe its location."

As expected, they wanted information on both Titans and Marley.

Titans were the most unstable factor inside the walls.

Previously, Haruto had said that his companions would handle them, but clearly, the President didn't trust that.

After all, if anything went wrong with the Titans, the catastrophic events of Wall Maria could repeat.

If Wall Rose were to fall as well, then humanity within the walls would be completely annihilated.

And as for Marley,

Ultimately, the people inside the walls had no way to verify its existence. Only after further confirmation could they determine their next course of action.

As for why they were launching a coup before confirming this intelligence—

It was likely because the military had already determined that the royal government had hidden the truth about the Titans.

And they had also discovered that the king was a false ruler, a puppet of the nobles.

Just based on these two points, the royal government had already been sentenced to death. Whether or not Marley truly existed, a coup had to happen.

If Haruto simply cooperated with their plans, the world of the Titans could develop in a stable manner, and he would be regarded as an esteemed guest of the military corps.

But—

What Haruto wanted, or rather, what the SCP Foundation wanted, was the swift and effective containment of the Titan world.

"I must refuse. The containment of the Titans should not be handled by the military corps. I will complete it myself. As for information on Marley, I will provide guidance after the containment operations are completed."

Haruto's stance instantly dropped the temperature in the room to freezing.

"Hey, kid!"

Levi glared at him and gave a low rebuke. Refusing at this moment was an unwise move.

Levi didn't want to see him meet a tragic end after providing so much intelligence and assisting the corps.

Erwin frowned.

"Haruto, you once said your goal was to save humanity. May I ask, which faction do you truly belong to?"

Previously, Erwin had assumed that Haruto was an Eldian from Marley. That he was a member of a resistance group formed under Marley's oppression.

(This is referring to the Eldian Restorationists, though Erwin didn't know their name, only that such a group likely existed.)

But now, things seemed off.

Haruto nodded in appreciation.

"I am a special executive officer of the SCP Foundation, designated O5-1. The Foundation's goal is to contain anomalies. I will contain the source of the Titans' power and restore normalcy to this world. Please cooperate with the SCP Foundation's work."

Haruto laid his cards on the table.

Commander Pixis put away his smile and stared at Haruto.

"You are inside the walls, yet you expect the corps to follow your lead?"

Haruto nodded as if it were only natural.

"Gentlemen, please be clear about one fact: my communication with the corps is out of humanitarian concern, to reduce human casualties. It is not because the SCP Foundation requires the corps' power. Even without your cooperation, the SCP Foundation will still prioritize the containment of anomalies."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

Through his perception, Haruto could sense that the small secluded house used for the meeting was now surrounded.

Dozens of elite soldiers from the Survey Corps had completely encircled the area.

Their blades were drawn, ready for action.

If the signal was given from inside, they would immediately attempt to kill Haruto.

"Are you saying that this so-called SCP Foundation has the power to destroy the entire world inside the walls?"

Commander Pixis locked eyes with Haruto sharply.

Gu Zeyuan nodded calmly.

"Don't place yourselves too high. The world inside the walls is one that could be destroyed by just two intelligent Titans."

That single sentence left Pixis speechless.

Because it was the truth.

The Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan had broken through Wall Maria.

They could do the same to Wall Rose.

The world inside the walls could be easily annihilated.
