[Sengoku: You're still fighting among yourselves... even now?]
[Red-Haired Shanks: Do me a favor and check your private messages. Then join the group I've set up, and we'll discuss this!]

SCP-049 Plague Doctor's words plunged the entire Super God Crossover Universe into chaos. Every native world feared its coordinates would be exposed.
Turmoil erupted within them all.
In the palace of Xianyang City, Great Qin Empire!
Ying Zheng stood by a window, watching Great Qin's black bird banner snap in the air. His dark eyes held no joy or grief, no trace of emotion at all.
But his faintly trembling fists betrayed the turmoil within him.
He had never imagined things would come to this.
The coordinates of his world were certain to be exposed. All he could do now was pray that, once the SCP Foundation learned them, it would not...
Invade his world.
Otherwise...
Even if the entire Great Qin Empire stood united against a common enemy, it could never match the SCP Foundation.
Despair.
For the first time, that feeling spread through Ying Zheng's heart.
He had not despaired when his father abandoned him in Handan. He had not despaired when he faced Lü Buwei, who held the court in his grip. He had not despaired when...
He had not even despaired when the Myriad Races Livestream appeared.
Instead, he had seen an opportunity.
A chance for the Great Qin Empire to endure for countless generations.
But now he truly despaired.
Compared with either SCP-049 Plague Doctor or the SCP Foundation, the Great Qin Empire was simply too weak.
They were so powerful that he could not muster the slightest courage to resist.
They could wipe out his entire world without breaking a sweat. What was the point of resisting?
At the Hero Association headquarters in the Monster World!
The S-Class Heroes were meeting when Tatsumaki stated her view outright. "Our world's coordinates will definitely be exposed!"
"But I believe the SCP Foundation can contain SCP-049 Plague Doctor in time."
"As for whether the SCP Foundation comes to our world..."
"That's beyond our control!"
Tatsumaki paused, then continued, "But no matter what happens, we have to eliminate Monster King Orochi."
"Otherwise, who knows what else he'll do?"
"What does everyone think?"
No one present objected. They all nodded in agreement: it was time for a decisive battle with the Monster Association!
Only Genos, the newest S-Class Hero, was unconcerned about their world's coordinates being exposed.
In his eyes, neither SCP-049 Plague Doctor nor the SCP Foundation stood a chance against his teacher.
After witnessing a series of battles, Genos had developed an almost blind faith in Saitama's strength.
He was certain that no matter how powerful an enemy was...
They could not withstand a single punch from his teacher.
His teacher's strength had surpassed ordinary understanding. In the SCP Foundation's terms, he had reached the conceptual level.
Sometimes Genos even wondered: Could Master Saitama be a containment subject that escaped from the SCP Foundation?
The thought was rather disrespectful.
But it made sense to him.
How else could he explain why Master Saitama was so strong? No matter how unbeatable an enemy appeared...
Master Saitama could finish them with one punch.
Except mosquitoes!
Could Master Saitama be bound by a rule that prevents him from beating mosquitoes, while letting him beat anything else?
The more Genos thought about it, the more sense it made!
Deep within Mary Geoise, in the Pirate World!
Jaygarcia Saturn Saint, the Warrior God of Science and Defense among the Five Elders, knelt respectfully before the figure on the Empty Throne. "Lord Imu, our world's coordinates are about to be exposed!"
"According to Cipher Pol Aigis Zero's analysis, given the SCP Foundation's usual methods, once they learn our coordinates..."
"They will most likely attack us!"
Jaygarcia Saturn Saint paused, then continued, "Even if we gather all our forces..."
"We cannot stand against the SCP Foundation!"
"Please give us your orders!"
"What should we do next?"
Imu, seated on the Empty Throne, replied in a voice that gave no hint of gender:
"Launch an assault on the Four Emperors. Make sure you obtain the coordinate information they possess."
"Then seek the protection of Demon Queen Morgana."
"That is our only option!"
Imu paused, then continued, "We must also prepare a second option. Order Vegapunk to halt all other research."
"Devote every resource to building an Interstellar Spaceship!"
"The Death Card has already provided detailed specifications."
"With Vegapunk's abilities, he should be able to build one soon if he puts his mind to it."
"Oversee him yourselves!"
With that, Imu rose from the Empty Throne and left. Only after Imu had completely departed the hall did the Five Elders dare to stand.
They wasted no time.
They set off to carry out Imu's orders!
Meanwhile, at the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters in the Demon Slayer World, the three factions locked in a standoff also received private messages. They learned that SCP-049 Plague Doctor could use corpses to locate the coordinates of their respective worlds!
Aside from Meow-Meow, whose Monster World coordinates were already exposed, everyone received the same demand in their private messages.
They were to abandon their missions immediately.
Then they were to do everything possible to stop SCP-049 Plague Doctor from obtaining a corpse from their side. Those who sent the messages knew...
The task was hardly realistic!
But every moment they could delay him would buy their worlds more time!
After reading his message, Black-and-White Xuan Jian held his Black Blade against Kagaya Ubuyashiki's neck and addressed Meow-Meow and the Second Tsuchikage, Mu. "I assume you've received private messages too!"
"You know what SCP-049 Plague Doctor can do. My mission is no longer to explore the Demon Slayer World!"
"It's to stop him from obtaining a corpse from my world!"
Black-and-White Xuan Jian paused, then continued, "Let me leave..."
"And I'll hand Kagaya Ubuyashiki over to you."
"What do you say?"
Black-and-White Xuan Jian did not actually care whether the exposure of his world's coordinates led SCP-049 Plague Doctor or the SCP Foundation to destroy it.
But if his world was destroyed, his wife Wei Xianxian would lose all hope of ever being revived.
Wei Xianxian was the ache that never left his heart. She was the only light in his dark life!
Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance...
He would not give up!
Hearing Black-and-White Xuan Jian's offer, Mu, the leader of the ninja force, shrugged. "In that case, go ahead!"
"I don't mind!"
"It depends on whether Meow-Meow agrees."
In life, Mu had been known throughout the Ninja World as a cunning politician. In his eyes, feelings and grudges meant nothing. Only interests mattered.
Accepting Black-and-White Xuan Jian's offer was the best choice.
They could achieve their goal without fighting or taking any risks.
Why refuse?
After hearing Mu's words, Meow-Meow considered it for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He would have loved to tear Black-and-White Xuan Jian to pieces.
But he knew accepting the offer was the best choice under the circumstances.
Black-and-White Xuan Jian did not let down his guard.
Instead, he told one of his Net of Heaven assassins, "Stay behind!"
"Once you swallow the Corpse-Dissolving Powder, you'll have about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
"That's enough time for us to leave."
At Black-and-White Xuan Jian's order, the assassin swallowed a Wax Pill in front of him without a moment's hesitation!
He then took Black-and-White Xuan Jian's place, holding Kagaya Ubuyashiki hostage.
Mu and Meow-Meow frowned at the sight. That world may be weak in combat, but it certainly knows how to train assassins willing to die.
Black-and-White Xuan Jian patted the assassin on the shoulder and prepared to leave with the rest of his men.
Just then, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who had remained silent even after his wife and children were killed, spoke slowly. "So you're visitors from beyond this world!"
"No wonder..."
"But aren't you underestimating the Demon Slayer Corps?"
"Cough, cough..."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki paused, then continued, "Now that you're here, you won't be leaving!"
"Amane, I'm coming to join you!"
"It's a shame I couldn't destroy Muzan Kibutsuji. But I think you can help me finish the job!"
Everyone's expression changed at his words. Black-and-White Xuan Jian, in particular, drove his inner energy to its limit without hesitation...
And rushed toward the exit of the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters!
But it was too late!
BOOM!
A deafening explosion erupted. A massive shock wave swept outward from the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters, and everything within several kilometers...
Was reduced to ash.
As a precaution, Kagaya Ubuyashiki had buried hundreds of tons of explosives beneath the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.
The force of the blast could only be called apocalyptic.
A towering mushroom cloud rose above a crater hundreds of meters deep. Amid the searing flames, the monsters, Mu, and Black-and-White Xuan Jian alike...
