Thirty minutes ago, the Kerencian Rainforest, the foundation headquarters.

"No matter what you pursue, you will eventually return to the starting point..."

In front of a floor-to-ceiling window, Pride was sitting on a round single sofa, holding a novel in his hand and reading carefully.

This is the library in the base. Pride will come here when he has nothing to do to find some books to read.

"You are very free, Pride."

Suddenly, a virtual window appeared on the window in front of Pride, and Riley's face of a blonde girl flashed out.

Thanks to the stimulation of the human body's potential, ten years later, she still maintains her girlish appearance.

"What's up?"

Pride held the lower right corner of the paper between his fingers and gently turned the page.

"The boss's order requires you to go to the territorial sea border of the island country to provide support."

Riley smiled slightly and replied.

"The aircraft is ready for you and ready to go at any time."

"Crack!"

Pride closed the page and handed the novel to the side with his right hand. A black arm stretched out from the shadow on the ground, took the novel from Pride, stretched his arm, and put the novel back on the fifth floor of the bookshelf.

"It's such a convenient ability."

Riley was smiling and seemed to be very envious of Pride's abilities.

"You are much more capable than me." Pride glanced at her with a flat expression, then turned and walked towards the library door.

Taking the elevator to the base platform, there was already a Night Crow aircraft waiting for him ready to take off.

"How long does it take to reach the destination?" Pride asked as he entered the cabin and sat on the sofa.

"It takes less than thirty minutes to fly at full speed."

The LCD screen on the wall opposite the sofa flashed, and Riley's electronic face of a blonde girl appeared on it.

"The mission briefing has been sent to your PDA. Take a look at it yourself."

"bye~"

Finally, Riley on the screen blew a kiss to Pride and went offline.

"Scp-s1010 Mortal Python..." Pride checked the information in the briefing, "Both ends are really difficult to deal with."

"Professional hunters from the Hunter Association cannot fight in the sea."

After reading the information, Pride put the computer aside, put his legs on the sofa, crossed his legs and closed his eyes.

Twenty-five minutes later…

"Sir."

The pilot's voice sounded in Pride's headset.

"We are close to the target location. The boss has not issued an attack order yet. Do we need to find a place to land?"

Pride, who was meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and stood up slowly. Instead of responding immediately, he raised his arm and touched his right cheek.

He closed his eyes again, opened them, and said in a calm voice:

"No need, open the hatch."

"Sir, the attack order has not been issued yet."

"I'm going to attack."

"But sir, this is an altitude of three thousand meters. The human body cannot withstand the pressure and temperature brought by strong winds at high altitudes. Please wear a powered exoskeleton."

"Execute the order."

"yes!"

"Click~!"

The bottom hatch opened, and Pride, who was wearing only a children's suit, stood on the edge of the hatch, lowered his head and stared at the ocean below. Under conscious control, he fell forward and disappeared out of the hatch with a "swish".

“Huhuhu~~~”

The strong wind from high altitude swept Pride's hair, face, and clothes, but it did not affect the direction of his fall at all.

"Sir, the mission objective is to engage in a fierce battle at the bottom of this sea area."

"According to our data, they had had contact as early as four years ago in the Komen Trench. According to the speculation of Dr. Boyce from the headquarters, SCP-S1010 Earthly Serpent has enough intelligence. The purpose of this contact with the mimicry is

Probably revenge."

"revenge……"

While falling from a high altitude, a large number of black threads suddenly burst out from Pride's body, condensing into the shape of a giant black shark.

"Where is Glid?" Pride suddenly asked.

"Chief Gleed is on an island warship, waiting for the opportunity."

"What time?"

"Chief Glied's opinion is to wait until both the two monsters are injured before taking action."

"Both sides suffer..." Pride heard this and did not comment on Gleed's tactics, because he and Gleed had seen and experienced different things.

He discovered something from the mission briefing about the Dark Continent monster numbered S1010, a symbol that aroused his interest.

"Hello!"

"Pride!"

While Pride was thinking rapidly, Gleed's roar suddenly came from the headset, making him frown.

"You guy, why are you attacking now?"

"You are wasting your fighting power. At least wait until they are finished and the winner is determined before taking action!"

"They lose both sides and are more likely to be contained by us!"

Gleed sounded very dissatisfied. According to his plan, it would have been possible to complete the containment measures effortlessly, but with Pride's intervention, the two parties became three parties, which would form a delicate balance that was different from his plan.

.

In the end, a lose-lose situation will probably not arise.

"Boom~!!!"

As soon as Glid finished speaking, the giant black shark condensed on Pride's body had already landed less than a hundred meters in the air, and fell into the sea with a loud noise.

The waves, which are tens of meters high, spread out like a blooming white rose when they reach the ultimate height.

Immediately, it turned into a city wall and fell to all sides, setting off a stormy sea.

“Bang~!!!”

Huge waves rushed in all directions, causing the warships of the island country in the distance to stagger again and again.

"Asshole!"

"Pride..."

On the deck of the warship, Gleed looked gloomy and stood on the deck like a nail. No matter how the warship rocked or how the waves beat his body, he remained motionless.

"It is impossible to lose both sides."

Just when Grid was furious because Tathagata had disrupted his plan, Pride's plain young voice sounded in the headset.

"One is a mimic that can become stronger by devouring other creatures, and the other is a monster with the Möbius strip logo on its back in the Dark Continent."

"No matter which one they are, they all have the characteristic of becoming stronger by devouring each other, especially the monster from the Dark Continent."

"Ah~? A monster with a Möbius strip on its back?"

"How come I don't know about this?"

Grid felt even more unhappy.

"About this matter, you can find it in the action records of the [First Dark Continent Exploration] in the central database."

"Your authority is at the same level as mine, but you didn't look for it yourself."

"Hey, who would go looking for something like that?" Grid curled his lips in displeasure.

"I also have the Möbius strip symbol on me."

Pride said suddenly.

"The closer I get to that monster from the Dark Continent, the more I want to take action."

"The boss must have noticed it, so he called me over."
