SCP-049 Plans to Treat the Plague in the Monster World! Everyone Is Terrified!
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 come crashing down.
SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, had really used surgery to turn those ashes into bodies for Gen Uchiha and the others. Then he had transformed them into...
SCP-049-2, soldiers in his army.
Of course, that alone would not have shattered their understanding of the world.
What stunned them most was that Gen Uchiha's One-Tomoe Sharingan had become an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan after the surgery.
How...
They stood rooted to the spot, mouths slightly open, unable to speak for a long while.
Good heavens!
That was the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Since the dawn of the ninja, no one besides the legendary Madara Uchiha had ever been known to awaken it.
And yet...
Gen Uchiha and the others had been utterly ordinary. But after SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, operated on them, their One-Tomoe Sharingan had leaped straight to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Could SCP-049's surgery not only "revive" the dead as SCP-049-2...
But also draw out their potential to its absolute limit in the process?
It was almost impossible to believe.
Containment Objects truly lived up to their name. Every one of them possessed powers beyond the limits of imagination!
It was unreal!
It took a long time for the viewers to recover from their shock. Then comments flooded the screen.
[Sasuke Uchiha: An Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan! If I could awaken one, I could kill my dear brother with my own hands and avenge our parents!]
[Kisame: Sasuke, I'm not looking down on you, but even with an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, you'd be no match for Mr. Itachi!]
[Tatsumaki: Is the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan really that powerful? Can someone explain? Also, the relationships in your Ninja World are bizarre. Every time I hear about them, I can hardly believe it.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Put it this way: it would be like turning a D-Class Hero straight into an S-Class Hero. Not just any S-Class Hero, either, but one ranked in the top three!]
[Tatsumaki: Okay, that is impressive!]
[Orochimaru: If I could master SCP-049's surgery... I believe I've found a goal worth pursuing for the rest of my life!]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: @Orochimaru, if you conduct human experiments again, I will kill you myself. I won't make the same mistake twice.]
[Itachi Uchiha: A remarkable procedure. But the price is steep. Who would choose it when it means giving up everything and becoming a puppet?]
[Sasori: What's wrong with becoming a puppet? Eternal art!]
[Deidara: Eternal art, my ass! Explosions are art. Remember, explosions are the only true art!]
[...]

While SCP-049's surgery had left the livestream viewers reeling, Zhao Gao of the Qin's Moon World 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 band of Net of Heaven assassins toward Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters. When he saw Zhao Gao's message, he smiled disdainfully and replied:
[As you command.]
Then he opened his private chat with Qin Shi Huang: [Your Majesty, I have found Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.]
[I'm leading the Net of Heaven assassins there now. Best case, I'll learn the cause of the Demon Slayer World's anomaly from Kagaya Ubuyashiki.]
[If he doesn't know, then the cause most likely lies with the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji.]
[But he has gone into hiding. I fear I won't find him before SCP-049 arrives.]
[So when SCP-049 appears, I will show myself on the livestream. All I ask is that Your Majesty keep your promise and bring my wife, Wei Xianxian, back to life!]
[And execute Dianqing to avenge me!]
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng stood in his black dragon robe, read Black-and-White Xuan Jian's messages, and replied: [An emperor keeps his word!]
After sending the message, Ying Zheng walked to the window and watched the banners of the Great Qin Empire snap 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 had become the undisputed ruler of all under heaven. Generals and a million soldiers served him, while the Hundred Schools of Thought trembled before Great Qin's armies...
Countless extraordinary people had come to join him.
But his empire was tiny compared with the worlds in the livestream.
Never mind the Angel Civilization, Demon Civilization, Underworld Civilization, and unfathomable SCP Foundation. Even the Ninja World and Pirate World...
Could trample his empire with ease.
So he had launched an unprecedented purge at home. Abroad, he had used private chats to coax out intelligence and technology. Then Ge Xiaolun of Yanhuang Academy had told him...
That his Great Qin Empire would fall after just two generations.
When he learned the culprits would be his beloved youngest son, Hu Hai, and Zhao Gao, who commanded the Net of Heaven, Ying Zheng had refused to sit and wait.
After some careful maneuvering, the Net of Heaven had become loyal to him.
Zhao Gao and Hu Hai still thought it was their tool?
What a joke!
Zhao Gao had sent the Net of Heaven to the Demon Slayer World, but without Ying Zheng's approval, he could not have commanded a single assassin!
Ying Zheng had agreed for a reason.
For one thing, this truly was an opportunity.
If they uncovered the cause of the anomaly, his world might enjoy lasting growth. He did not expect it to rival superpowers like the Angel Civilization overnight.
But it might at least gain the strength to defend itself against the Ninja World and Pirate World.
And if the mission failed, that was fine too.
He would use the chance to purge Zhao Gao's faction.
He would crush the threat to his empire before it could take root!
The Myriad Races Livestream was both a challenge and an opportunity. If he seized it, the Great Qin Empire would become the dominant power of the Super God Universe under his rule!
He was certain of it.
Because he was Qin Shi Huang!
Meanwhile, the Demon-level monster Meow-Meow was leading a group of monsters toward Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters. Meow-Meow 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 Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters now!]
[But I suspect the cause of the Demon Slayer World's anomaly lies with the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji. My monsters are searching for demons!]
[But every demon has vanished!]
[They're probably hiding!]
[Once we find one and feed it Monster Cells, we can get the information we need!]
At 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 have four hours at most to complete the mission.]
[If you still haven't found the cause of the anomaly after four hours, abandon the mission. You know what to do then.]
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 monster also carried a trace of demonic power!
That made them more terrifying than ever!
Morgana had given him this mission.
Monster King Orochi had accepted because war with the Hero Association was imminent. This expedition might let him strengthen his forces.
More importantly, Morgana had promised to keep improving the Monster Cells whether the mission succeeded or failed.
She had even offered to upgrade his body into a divine one!
After weighing an offer that tempting, Monster King Orochi had agreed.
With that in mind, Monster King Orochi forwarded Meow-Meow's intelligence to Morgana.
A long while later, her reply arrived: [Got it. Don't let anyone know the orders came from me!]
[Now get back to whatever you were doing!]
[And don't interrupt me while I'm watching the livestream!]
Monster King Orochi replied respectfully: [As you command, my queen!]
Then he discussed the details of the coming battle with the Hero Association with Gyoro Gyoro, checking the livestream whenever he had a moment.
Black-and-White Xuan Jian and Meow-Meow were not the only ones. Cipher Pol Aigis Zero from the Pirate World, the ninja from the Ninja World, and other factions had all promptly sent intelligence from the Demon Slayer World...
To their superiors in private messages.
The power behind the Pirate World's operation was the Five Elders. No, more precisely, it was the world's ruler, Imu.
That ruler had governed the world for nearly...
The power behind the Ninja World's operation was Madara Uchiha!
His body, sustained by the Demonic Statue, had remained hidden underground. After the livestream made him suspect there was something wrong with Black Zetsu...
Madara Uchiha had an honest talk with him.
The two had come to an understanding afterward.
They had decided to work together and carve out a place for themselves in this new age, when countless worlds converged.
But Madara Uchiha did not know one thing.
Black Zetsu's secrets ran too deep.
Careful as Madara Uchiha had been, Black Zetsu had still deceived him!
About half an hour later, the two strongest forces—the monsters and the ninja—met outside Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters. Every faction wanted Kagaya Ubuyashiki for itself...
If the anomaly centered on him, whoever held 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 clear cracks across his face, stepped out of the ninja ranks. 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 the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu. Now I've been forced to explore this damned Demon Slayer World!"
"I take it you were forced to come here too!"
As he spoke, the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, studied Meow-Meow's expression. Known throughout the Ninja World for his cunning, the strategist had intended to read Meow-Meow's face...
And use what he learned to decide how to negotiate.
