As time passed, the confusion in everyone's eyes slowly turned to shock.
The viewers from the ninja world felt as though their entire world had collapsed.
SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, had really used surgery to turn those ashes into bodies for Gen Uchiha and the others, then transformed them into...
SCP-049-2, new members of his army.
Of course, that alone would not have shattered their worldview.
What stunned them most was that Gen Uchiha's single-tomoe Sharingan had become an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan after the surgery.
This...
They stood frozen, mouths slightly open, unable to speak for a long while.
Good heavens!
That was the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Since the birth of ninjas, no one besides the legendary Madara Uchiha had ever been known to awaken it.
But now...
Gen Uchiha and the others, whose talent had been nothing special, had gone straight from the most basic single-tomoe Sharingan to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan after SCP-049's surgery.
Could SCP-049's surgery not only "revive" the dead as SCP-049-2...
But also draw out their potential to its absolute limit?
That was beyond belief.
Containment objects truly lived up to their reputation. Every one of them possessed power beyond the limits of imagination!
It was absurd!
It took everyone a long time to recover from their shock. Then the comments began flying!
[Sasuke Uchiha: The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan! If I could awaken it, I could kill my dear brother with my own hands and avenge my parents!]
[Kisame: No offense, Sasuke, but even with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, you wouldn't stand a chance against Mr. Itachi!]
[Tatsumaki: Is the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan that powerful? Can someone explain? Also, the relationships in your ninja world are seriously bizarre. Every time I hear about them, I can hardly believe it.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Put it this way: it's like turning a D-Class hero straight into an S-Class hero. And not just any S-Class hero, but one ranked in the top three!]
[Tatsumaki: Okay, that is impressive!]
[Orochimaru: If I could master SCP-049's surgery... I may have found a goal worth devoting my life to!]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: @Orochimaru, if you conduct human experiments again, I will kill you. I won't make the same mistake twice.]
[Itachi Uchiha: A remarkable surgery, but the price is steep. I doubt anyone would choose it. They'd lose everything and become a puppet.]
[Sasori: What's wrong with becoming a puppet? Eternal art!]
[Deidara: Eternal art, my ass! Explosions are art. Remember, explosions are true art!]
[...]
SCP-049 Plans to Cure the Plague in the Monster World! Everyone Is Scared Witless!
While the livestream chat was still reeling from SCP-049's surgery, Zhao Gao of the world of Qin's Moon sent Black-and-White Xuan Jian a private message: [The situation has changed. SCP-049 is stronger than expected!]
[Find the cause of the anomaly within four hours, no matter what.]
In the Demon Slayer World, Black-and-White Xuan Jian was leading a group of Net of Heaven assassins straight toward the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. He saw Zhao Gao's message, smiled disdainfully, and replied:
[Understood!]
Then he opened his chat with the First Emperor: [Your Majesty, I have located the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.]
[I'm leading the Net of Heaven assassins there now. If I can learn the cause of the Demon Slayer World's anomaly from Kagaya Ubuyashiki, so much the better.]
[If not, the cause is most likely connected to the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji.]
[But he's gone into hiding. I fear I won't find him before SCP-049 arrives.]
[So when SCP-049 appears, I'll show myself on the livestream. I only hope Your Majesty will honor your promise and revive my wife, Wei Xianxian!]
[And execute Dianqing to avenge me!]
In Xianyang Palace in the world of Qin's Moon, Ying Zheng stood in black dragon robes. After reading Black-and-White Xuan Jian's message, he replied: [An emperor does not go back on his word!]
After sending it, Ying Zheng walked to the window and looked at the Great Qin banners snapping beneath the bright moon.
His dark eyes were full of weariness.
Only after the Myriad Races Livestream appeared had Ying Zheng realized how small his world was.
He had swept across the land and united the six states.
He was the undisputed ruler of all under heaven, with countless generals and a million soldiers at his command. The Hundred Schools of Thought trembled before Great Qin's military might...
And gifted people of every kind flocked to his court.
Yet compared with the worlds in the livestream, his own was insignificant.
Leaving aside the Angel Civilization, Demon Civilization, Underworld Civilization, and unfathomable SCP Foundation, even the ninja world and the pirate world...
Could crush his empire with ease.
So at home, he had launched an unprecedented purge. Abroad, he used private chats to gather intelligence and technology. Then, from a man named Ge Xiaolun at Yanhuang Academy, he learned...
That his Great Qin Empire would fall under its second emperor.
And the culprits were his beloved youngest son, Hu Hai, and Zhao Gao, who controlled the Net of Heaven. Ying Zheng had no intention of sitting back and waiting for that fate.
After a period of careful maneuvering, the Net of Heaven now answered directly to him.
Zhao Gao and Hu Hai still thought its assassins were their pawns?
How laughable!
If Ying Zheng had not given his approval, Zhao Gao could not have commanded a single assassin to enter the Demon Slayer World.
He had agreed to this operation for a reason!
For one thing, it truly was an opportunity.
If they discovered the cause of the anomaly, the world of Qin's Moon might gain room to develop. It might not leap to the level of a superpower like the Angel Civilization...
But at least it could gain the strength to defend itself against the ninja world and the pirate world.
And if the mission failed, that was fine too.
He could use the failure to purge Zhao Gao's faction.
He would stamp out that threat to the empire before it could grow!
The Myriad Races Livestream was both a challenge and an opportunity. If he seized it, Great Qin would become the dominant power in the Super God Universe under his rule!
He was certain of it!
Because he was the First Emperor of Qin!
Meanwhile, Meow-Meow, a Demon-level monster leading a group of monsters toward the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, sent Monster King Orochi a private message: [I've successfully used the improved Monster Cells on the Serpent Hashira, Obanai Iguro, and the former Flame Hashira, Shinjuro Rengoku!]
[They've become the Demon-level monsters Snake Monster and Blaze!]
[We're heading to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters now!]
[But I suspect the cause of the Demon Slayer World's anomaly is connected to the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji. My monsters are searching for demons!]
[But every demon has vanished!]
[They're probably hiding!]
[If we find just one demon and feed it Monster Cells, we can get information!]
At the Monster Association headquarters in the monster world!
Monster King Orochi read Meow-Meow's message. After a moment's thought, he replied: [SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, is far more terrifying than we anticipated!]
[You probably have about four hours to complete the mission.]
[If you still haven't found the cause by then, abandon the mission. You know what to do afterward, don't you?]
As soon as private chats became available on the Myriad Races Livestream, Monster King Orochi had contacted the Demon Queen Morgana. With her help...
He had improved the Monster Cells.
The improved Monster Cells could forcibly transform a target into a monster regardless of their wishes. The resulting monsters also carried a trace of demonic power!
They were more terrifying than ever!
Morgana had assigned this mission.
Monster King Orochi had accepted because his war with the Hero Association was imminent. This expedition might give him a way to strengthen his monsters.
More importantly, Morgana had promised to keep improving the Monster Cells whether the mission succeeded or failed.
She had even offered to upgrade him to a divine body!
The temptation was too great. After weighing his options, Monster King Orochi had agreed!
With that in mind, Monster King Orochi forwarded Meow-Meow's report to Morgana!
A long while later, her reply came: [Got it. Don't let anyone know I gave the orders!]
[Now get back to whatever you were doing!]
[And don't interrupt my livestream!]
Monster King Orochi replied respectfully: [Yes, my queen!]
He then went back to discussing the details of the coming battle against the Hero Association with Gyoro Gyoro, glancing at the livestream when he had a moment.
Black-and-White Xuan Jian and Meow-Meow were not the only ones. CP0 in the pirate world, ninjas from the ninja world, and other groups all sent intelligence from the Demon Slayer World...
To their superiors by private message at the first opportunity.
The power behind the pirate world's operation was the Five Elders. No, more precisely, it was the King of the World, Imu.
A monarch who had ruled the world for nearly...
The power behind the ninja world's operation was Madara Uchiha!
His body remained hidden underground, sustained by the Demonic Statue. After he noticed something suspicious about Black Zetsu in the livestream...
Madara Uchiha had an open conversation with him.
Afterward, the two had reached an understanding.
They had decided to join forces and carve out a place for themselves in this turbulent new age of the greater universe.
But Madara Uchiha did not know one thing!
Black Zetsu had concealed too much.
Despite all Madara Uchiha's caution, Black Zetsu had still deceived him!
About half an hour later, the strongest monster and ninja squads met outside the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. Every faction wanted Kagaya Ubuyashiki for itself...
Because if Kagaya Ubuyashiki held the key to the Demon Slayer World's anomaly, whoever controlled him could claim the Myriad Races Livestream's reward alone.
The two sides faced each other, ready for a fight.
One wrong word, and they would come to blows!
Just then, a ninja wrapped head to toe in bandages, with visible cracks across his face, stepped out of the ninja squad. He approached Meow-Meow and said:
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Mu, the Second Tsuchikage of the ninja world! After I died, that damned bastard brought me back with Impure World Reincarnation. Now I've been forced to explore this damned Demon Slayer World!"
"I imagine you were forced to come here too!"
As he spoke, Mu watched Meow-Meow's expression. Renowned throughout the ninja world as a master strategist, he intended to read her face...
And work out what she was thinking before deciding how to negotiate.
