American Comics Universe: I, the Containment Object Revealed at the Start

"The power of the Crystal Vine has instilled immense fear in Siren Heads. Their bodies are being continuously destroyed and assimilated. This is the first time the Containment Council has managed to harm Siren Heads with its own weapons! Now we just need to wait for the Crystal Vine to completely assimilate all the Siren Heads!"

"But then, another unexpected change occurred."

"These siren heads emitted a strange power, and the crystalline tendrils on their bodies were steadily decreasing. This phenomenon immediately shocked the Containment Council!"

"No matter what method we used, we couldn't stop the crystal vines from spreading, let alone reverse them, so how did Siren Head manage to do it?!"

[“Then a researcher of mystical arts discovered the problem: time was reversing on Siren Head's body, meaning Siren Head possessed the power to control time! They were turning back time, returning their bodies to before the crystal vines spread!”]

"Upon discovering this, the containment council immediately ordered the fighter jets to continue launching Crystal Vine Missiles."

"The crystal-spray missiles continued to attack the siren head, but when the missiles encountered the siren head emitting crystal spores, they were affected by the time reversal, preventing the crystal spores from reaching the siren head."

["Just then, a crystal vine missile struck Siren Head's speaker, instantly interrupting Siren Head's time reversal. Simultaneously, its head was covered by the crystal vine, rendering it unable to attack, and its entire body was assimilated by the crystal vine, rendering it completely immobile!"]

"The containment organization noticed this, and only then did they realize that Siren Head's speaker head was a weak point; if that spot was hit, the attack would be interrupted!"

"So all the crystal-spread missiles were fired at Siren Head's head! Sure enough, they successfully interrupted the time reversal of some Siren Heads, turning them all into crystals."

[“However, one of the siren heads had already completely retreated. Just as the crystal missile was about to hit it, its body turned into a blur, causing the missile to pass right through it! Then it gradually disappeared without a trace.”]

"Siren Head has once again demonstrated a new ability: etherealization. As for its disappearance, whether it's invisibility, teleportation, or something else, the Containment Council cannot yet determine."

"In short, the Containment Council has realized just how terrifying Siren Head is. Its astonishing defensive capabilities, immense strength, and various supernatural abilities, coupled with its undetectable camouflage, make it an absolute threat to humanity. Therefore, the Containment Council immediately began investigating around the world to find Siren Head's whereabouts, and indeed, they discovered several Siren Heads in different locations."

"Strangely enough, these siren heads have all sorts of different speaker designs, ranging from the oldest to the most modern, which gives you an idea of ​​how many years siren heads have been around."

"Nobody knows exactly how many siren heads there are in the world."

The video ends here; all the detailed information about Siren Head has been played.

Upon seeing this, many people were stunned and unable to recover for a moment.

Nick Fury: "What! What kind of monster is this! It's so terrifying, with so many superpowers, and it can even control time and space! Its strength is also so terrifying, this is something that the military forces of my universe simply cannot contend with!"

Diana: "There are such terrifying monsters in the world! Their combat power and assassination abilities are beyond imagination. They are simply all-around warriors!"

Nami: "This thing is much scarier than the monsters we've seen before."

Thor: "Although I hate to admit it, this monster is something even I, with my divine power, would find difficult to fight."

Rhodes: "Hey, don't worry, don't forget, I have Crystal Vine Missiles!"

Natasha: "But don't forget, Siren Head has many abilities and could easily take us out before we launch our Crystal Vine Missiles."

Wang: "This creature is terrifying! It can control time just like Kayako!"

Ancient One: "No, its ability to control time is not limited by location like Kayako's. This kind of evil creature is a disaster for humanity. If magic can't kill it, I can only exile it to other worlds."

Loki: "Hmph, Father's Eternal Spear will surely destroy it."

Odin: "Indeed, I refuse to believe that my eternal spear, capable of destroying planets, cannot be destroyed."

Bruce Wayne: "Don't forget, Siren Head can warp space. It would be terrible if it transferred the power to destroy a planet back!"

Odin: "Ah! That is indeed a problem."

Dan Moroboshi: "And then there's its ability to become intangible and suddenly disappear. Whenever it encounters an attack it can't resist, it simply becomes intangible and vanishes to who-knows-where, launching sneak attacks when we're not paying attention! And there are so many of them! If we're not careful, even Ultraman might be defeated!"

Daigo: "My God, there are such terrifying monsters in the world? What a joke! They don't even allow humans to live!"

Tong Hu: "This monster is indeed a bit troublesome."

Cardia: "This is interesting. I'd like to see if my moves will work!"

Radamanthys: "Hmph, what superpowers, what unimaginable toughness, it's all just bluffing. In front of me, Radamanthys, it's absolutely nothing!"

Vegeta: "You're right. Only weak Earthlings are afraid. I'm a legendary Super Saiyan. I don't even consider this a threat!"

Loki: "You've got quite the nerve. I hope you arrogant fools won't regret it."

Thanos: "Hmph, another interesting race. It would be very interesting if they could be used by me."

Orochimaru: "Although it's scary, I really want to study these other creatures!"

Jiraiya: "I hope the ninjutsu will work."

Garp: "I have the Bull Talisman, I can destroy islands, but Siren Head's weird abilities are a problem."

Suneo: "Aaaaah! Nobita, hurry up and bring Dorami! Otherwise, if this thing really appears, how are we supposed to live?!"

Nobita: "I've found Dorami, and I'm coming back now!"

Asmita: "To be honest, I'm more curious about how this monster came into being, and why it's so similar to human technology. What is its significance?"

Chapter 306 The Next Race, Illusion Predators

Saiqi: "Indeed, why is it that such powerful creatures have appearances and behaviors that are so similar to human technology? Are they born this way, or do they actively change themselves?"

Rogers: "Maybe it's just how I was born."

Rhodes: "But how can such a monster be born? It's understandable that it has superpowers, but why does it have a head like a loudspeaker!"

Diana: "Was it to make hunting and hiding easier, that's why he changed himself to that shape?"

Gu Yi: "No matter what, there's no use in guessing."

While everyone was discussing it, the screen continued to display the next race to appear.

"The next containment target will be called the Illusion Predator."

When the screen sounded, it switched to another photo, which looked like a rotten rice cake, covered with black spots, and yellow all over, looking rather disgusting.

"It is a previously unknown tiny animal belonging to the phylum Tardigrade, living as a terrestrial predator. Like other tardigrades, the hallucinogenic predator has a strong resistance to harsh environments and can enter a state of camouflage when food is unavailable."

"The hallucinatory predator typically appears as an amorphous mass composed of millions of individual entities. In this form, it can move and climb slowly."

"Hallucinogenic predator groups are predatory, devouring insects and small animals before slowly dissolving their prey with digestive enzymes. Humans and other large prey are too large to be swallowed whole, and hallucinogenic predators require prolonged contact with their targets to successfully feed, so direct attacks from hallucinogenic predator groups are rare. This creature has developed an alternative method to achieve such contact."

[“The hallucination predator group possesses innate telepathic abilities. When prey is too large to attack directly, the hallucination predators use their telepathic abilities to project illusions of substances the prey wants to eat, wear, or apply to its body.”] [“Hallucination predators are highly poisonous when consumed. The consumer must take a special antidote within 20 minutes and immediately undergo stomach surgery to remove the ingested portion.”]

"When applied to the skin of humans or animals, the hallucinogenic predator secretes an anesthetic, causing the prey to ignore the pain and leave it on the skin. It then dissolves and digests the skin over 30 minutes to 2 hours."

"Dead prey will be rapidly digested by the hallucinatory predators, which will grow noticeably as they feed. Once they reach a size of 5 kilograms, they will split into small groups and search for new prey."

"When appearing in front of two or more individuals simultaneously, the appearance of the hallucinatory predator is uncertain—it may appear as food to one person and as clothing to another. This can serve as a warning to avoid contact with the creature."

As the screen reached this point, a video was played.

It was an ordinary-looking couple having breakfast, which consisted of a sandwich with luncheon meat.

"Wow, they even have luncheon meat sandwiches today!" the husband exclaimed, picking up the sandwich with a delighted expression, ready to devour it.

"Huh? A luncheon meat sandwich?" However, his wife looked clearly puzzled, seemingly unaware of what a luncheon meat sandwich was.

"Why did you call a piece of toast a luncheon meat sandwich?" the wife asked her husband, looking puzzled.

[“Huh?” The husband, puzzled by his wife’s words, had already put the sandwich in his mouth. The next second, his expression changed drastically.]

【"Waaaaaah!!!"】

["The husband was groaning in pain, clutching his neck as if he had suffered some injury that rendered him unable to speak. Finally, he collapsed to the ground, convulsing in agony."]

"Oh! Honey! What's wrong?!"

["The wife, seeing her husband like this, turned pale with fright and rushed to check on him. She found that her husband's face was ashen, and he was foaming at the mouth, indicating that he had been poisoned."]

"This terrified the wife, leaving her completely bewildered and unable to understand why her husband would suddenly be poisoned!"

[“That’s right! Call an ambulance!” Her immediate priority was to call an ambulance to rescue her husband, so she frantically searched for her phone, only to find it was right next to her legs.]

"Actually, if the wife thought about it carefully, she would realize that her phone was on the table and couldn't possibly be here. However, given the urgency of the situation, she couldn't possibly calmly think about all that."

["When the wife picked up the phone to make a call, she immediately held it to her ear and checked on her husband. She didn't notice one thing: her ears and hands were being corroded by the 'phone,' yet she didn't react at all."]

["When she realized she couldn't get through on the phone and checked her phone again, she discovered that her hand had rotted so badly that the bone was visible, and only then did she feel the pain."]

["Now it was the wife's turn to panic. She hurriedly threw her phone away and tried to get up, but found that she couldn't muster any strength in her body, as if she had been given anesthesia."]

"The husband was poisoned, the wife was anesthetized, and both lost their ability to resist. The phone then revealed its true form. Like rotten rice cake, pale yellow in color and covered in black spots, it was a hallucinatory predator. It first transformed into a luncheon meat sandwich or toast, deceiving the husband and wife, who were unaware of its presence. The moment the husband took a bite, the hallucinatory predator released toxins, inflicting a severe poisoning on him. Then it transformed into a phone, luring the wife, who was anxious to make a call, to pick it up. It then began to corrode her ears and hands, simultaneously releasing an anesthetic, so that the wife was completely unaware of the corrosion."

"After confirming that the two were unable to resist, they resumed their original hunting behavior."

"Due to the enormous size of the two adult humans, the hallucinogenic predator needed a considerable amount of time to digest them. After consuming both adults, its body swelled to over five kilograms. Finally, it split into a group of identical, ultra-small hallucinogenic predators, which then departed in different directions to find new prey."

The screen then played a series of videos of victims, each dying in their own way.

Chapter 307 Integrating into Life is Even More Difficult

[“Some people mistakenly applied the hallucinogenic predator to their hair, mistaking it for shampoo, resulting in severe scalp damage. The victim was apparently immune to the anesthetic in the hallucinogenic predator and began screaming, attracting the attention of his wife who was eating a snack.”]

"That was the strangest thing I'd ever seen—he put a spiced smoked beef sandwich on his head, and the sandwich was eating him!" The victim received treatment for chemical burns, and the hallucinatory predator was captured alive. The victim and his wife were released after receiving Class A amnesia.

[“Found in the office of an internet company, partially digested by a hallucinogenic predator. It appears the victim mistook the hallucinogenic predator for a pair of socks and wore them. The victim bled to death after his soles and calves were essentially dissolved.”]

"Routine wiretapping of a police report uncovered a missing person case. Investigating officers observed a long sofa slowly attempting to climb towards the missing person's apartment door."

"The Changsha was initially cordoned off by police within the area; Foundation agents subsequently identified it as an unusually large variant of the Hallucinogenic Predator and contained the individual. Amnesia was performed. Although the individual was large enough to directly attack humans, it still tended to use the tactics of a small Hallucinogenic Predator swarm, using telepathic abilities to lure prey."

"Cases of hallucinogenic predators attacking people occur all over the world. We really don't know how many there are, given their terrifying reproductive and multiplication rate—perhaps even more than that of cockroaches."

"As for when this creature first appeared, no one knows. If it existed since ancient times, then it must have existed for countless tens of thousands of years, and its numbers must have been terrifying."

"The containment team considered eliminating all the hallucinogenic predators they encountered to reduce the burden on containment, but this is actually very difficult to do."

"Hallucinator predators possess astonishing vitality and resilience. Even if they are torn into countless small pieces, cooked, or thrown into lava to burn, they cannot be eliminated. On the contrary, they can maintain a very high level of activity and danger under various extreme environments and injuries."

"The Containment Council tried countless methods, among which only throwing them into the sun and incinerating them with plasma cannons worked. However, both of these methods were very costly. Therefore, the best approach was to accumulate a large number of Illusion Predators and then eliminate them all at once. However, doing so sometimes carried the risk of breaching containment. In the end, the Containment Council still hadn't found a way to eliminate Illusion Predators anytime, anywhere."

"In short, this kind of creature can completely integrate into anyone's life. It can suddenly devour you from whatever you're holding without you even realizing it, and you might not even understand what happened until you die. Therefore, illusionary objects are extremely effective for assassination. Even experienced containment agents have a 90% chance of falling victim to illusionary predators."

The video playback ends here.

Many people wore strange expressions.

Sun Wukong: "This monster doesn't look that strong."

Zoro: "Indeed, compared to Siren Head or the Alien, it doesn't have much impact."

Loki: "Are you two idiots? The point isn't the performance, it's that this thing could kill you and you wouldn't even notice what happened!"

Natasha: "I have to say, I feel this creature is more dangerous and troublesome than Siren Head. At least when Siren Head is on the move, you can see it, but when you encounter this illusion predator hunting you, you can't see its real body at all!"

Bruce Wayne: "Who could imagine that something they use every day could be a terrifying monster, and that they wouldn't even realize it when something happens to it! It's like killing someone without them even noticing!"
