And the glowing sphere that represented the Demon Slayer World Heavenly Principle Consciousness went completely dark!
Everyone watching the livestream felt their scalps prickle at the sight. A thought rose unbidden in their minds:
What does it matter to you if I destroy you?
Morgana Turns Herself In, the Demon Slayer World Is Devoured, and SCP-049 the Plague Doctor Is Sealed in the Heavenly Principle Orb!
(Second update. Please subscribe! Your support keeps me writing. The next update will be around seven. There will be at least five updates today. Thank you all for your support!)
The livestream viewers watched SCP-049 the Plague Doctor wipe out every living being in the Demon Slayer World with a casual point of his finger.
They were shaken to the core.
As one, they stood frozen, staring at the screen. For a long while, not one of them could speak.
Only now did they truly grasp how vast the gap between themselves and a Containment Object was. Comparing a firefly to the moon did not begin to cover it.
It was a gap they could never cross.
They did not even exist on the same plane.
The limits of their imagination fell short of what he did as a matter of course.
That led them to wonder just how unfathomably powerful the SCP Foundation must be, with so many Containment Objects at its disposal.
What a joke!
Back then, plenty of people had planned to ignore the SCP Foundation's warning and head into the Demon Slayer World, hoping to find something worth taking.
Ignorance really was fearless!
Those who had stayed out of it merely felt a chill of belated fear.
They were glad they had not lost their heads.
After three Containment Object incidents, they understood how powerful the SCP Foundation was.
But they also knew they had not offended it.
However powerful the SCP Foundation might be, its principles meant it would not come after them. The factions and families already on its list of those to be held accountable were another matter...
Despair was the only word for how they felt now.
They regretted it with every fiber of their being.
What had possessed them to send people into the Demon Slayer World? They might as well have stuck their heads into a cat's mouth and dared it to bite.
They had thought that if they cut their ties to the operation thoroughly enough,
and the SCP Foundation did not know their world's coordinates, then even if they ignored the warning, what could the SCP Foundation do to them?
But now...
Those little tricks of theirs, in the Foundation's eyes,
were not worth mentioning.
[Sengoku: One finger, and an entire world is gone. SCP-049 the Plague Doctor is even more terrifying than I expected! Why didn't you listen to the warning?]
[Empress: Hahaha... @Five Elders! You Celestial Dragons are finished. Just wait to die!]
[Jaygarcia Saturn Saint: @Empress, watch your accusations, young lady. We never sent anyone to explore the Demon Slayer World!]
[Monkey D. Dragon: Look, he's panicking! Jaygarcia Saturn Saint, one of the Five Elders and the Warrior God of Science and Defense, is panicking! Who besides the Five Elders could give Cipher Pol Aigis Zero orders?]
[Do you really think everyone else is a fool?]
[Sakazuki: The world is about to change. I wonder whether the SCP Foundation will hold the Marines responsible by association.]
[Jaygarcia Saturn Saint: Do not forget the Marines' duty! If the SCP Foundation arrives and moves against the Celestial Dragons, you must stop it with everything you have!]
[Borsalino: Ohohoho... How frightening!]
[Ōnoki: Lord Second, rest in peace. I will protect Iwagakure! As for the one who brought you back with Impure World Reincarnation, I'm sure the SCP Foundation will hold him accountable soon!]
[You can rest easy!]
[Orochimaru: @Madara Uchiha, where are you hiding? I'll come find you. Once the SCP Foundation arrives, I'll apply to join them at once.]
[Madara Uchiha: Orochimaru, I'm in the desert! Come here if you dare!]
[Monster King Orochi: Then let's go completely mad! We're going to be held accountable anyway!]
[Genos: You have no idea how strong you are. With my teacher around, you think you'll get the chance? If I hadn't held him back, you'd already be ash.]
[Tatsumaki: Genos, who is your teacher? Is he really that powerful? And why did you hold him back?]
[Genos: Because the Foundation specifically named this guy. I was worried my teacher would wipe out the Monster Association before they arrived and displease them.]
[My teacher is powerful, but I don't want him coming into conflict with the Foundation!]
[Tatsumaki: I have my doubts about how powerful this teacher of yours is, but you're right. We really shouldn't offend the Foundation!]
[Not because we're afraid! There's just no need!]
[Luffy: You sure sound afraid!]
[...]
The livestream viewers were not alone. The major interstellar powers of the Super God Universe were stunned beyond words too!
Morgana most of all!
"My queen, you needn't worry so much!"
Inside the Demon Castle, Demon Ato watched Morgana pace back and forth and tried to reassure her. "The SCP Foundation probably won't hold you responsible!"
"Monster King Orochi may have shared the intelligence with you after he sent people into the Demon Slayer World,"
"but you weren't the one who gave the order! Maybe—"
Morgana cut Demon Ato off. "No. From what I know of the SCP Foundation,"
"they clearly mean to use this incident to make an example of someone!"
"And right now, I'm the biggest target in the Super God Universe. I'm the one they'll make an example of."
"I can't escape it!"
Demon Ato drew his sword, ready for battle. "My queen, if that's how it is, then we fight!"
"I, Demon Ato, am willing to—"
Morgana teleported in front of him and slapped him across his big head. "Willing to what, you idiot?"
"All you ever think about is fighting and killing! Can't we use our brains for once?"
"Even just a little?"
As she said this, she saw Demon Ato rubbing the spot she had slapped and grinning foolishly, proud of himself rather than ashamed.
She was utterly speechless.
There's no saving these demons of mine. How can they be this stupid?
Morgana sighed, returned to her throne, and began composing a private message: [I, the Demon Queen Morgana, let Monster King Orochi of the Monster World send people to explore the Demon Slayer World, hoping we would get away with it.]
[I also helped him improve his Monster Cells. I know I have violated the Foundation's rules.]
[I hereby request permission to turn myself in.]
[I hope you will approve my request.]
Once she had finished, Morgana sent the message to the SCP Foundation without hesitation.
In a bedroom at Qilin's home in Tianhe City,
Jiang Chen was working on SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile, when Kuroto's voice suddenly sounded in his mind. "Chairman, we've just received a private message from the Demon Queen!"
"She wants to turn herself in!"
"Should we accept?"
Jiang Chen paused, then smiled. "Of course. Let her. Someone turning herself in will make a bigger impression than us going to arrest her."
"And reduce her punishment a little."
"Set an example for the others!"
He paused before continuing. "Also, send Morgana a private message. Tell her the place to turn herself in... is the Demon Hall!"
"As for when?"
"After we've dealt with the other factions. Put Dr. X, the head of the Foreign Affairs Department, in charge."
With that, Jiang Chen ended the communication.
He read Morgana's message once more. Morgana and Holy Kesha really are sisters.
They even go about things the same way.
One sends a private message to get on our good side, and the other turns herself in outright. Unbelievable!
For all I know, Morgana broke the rules on purpose just to make contact with the Foundation!
But so what?
Whether you meant to or not, break the rules and you're coming back to the Foundation as a test subject!
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and resumed work on SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile. He was in such a hurry because he had a feeling...
Something big was coming.
One wrong move, and it could destroy the entire universe!
While Jiang Chen accepted Morgana's surrender, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor began his operation on the Demon Slayer World Heavenly Principle, under the eyes of everyone watching the livestream.
Though "fusion" was a more accurate word than "operation."
After SCP-049 the Plague Doctor wiped out every living being in the Demon Slayer World with one point of his finger, the once-radiant Heavenly Principle Will had gone completely dark.
It had become a sphere as black as ink.
As SCP-049 the Plague Doctor began his operation, magnificent scenes of mountains and rivers appeared within the black sphere...
There was snow-covered Mount Fuji, a city strewn with wreckage, and a beach stretching beyond sight... Every scene showed a place that truly existed in the Demon Slayer World.
Yet for all their grandeur, the scenes struck the livestream viewers as insubstantial, almost unreal.
While the viewers wondered why such images had appeared inside the Heavenly Principle sphere, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor kept working...
Black passages opened above the scenes, leading to places no one could identify. Strange matter poured out of them and flowed into the images.
The once-insubstantial landscapes began to take solid form.
At the same time, another feed appeared on the livestream, showing the Demon Slayer World. Countless black vortices had appeared in its sky.
The vortices began voraciously swallowing everything in that world. Mountains, rivers, buildings... an unseen force seized them all!
They tore free of the ground, surged into the black vortices, and vanished before everyone's eyes.
At last, the livestream viewers understood.
When SCP-049 the Plague Doctor spoke of operating on the Heavenly Principle Will, he meant to put the entire world inside the sphere of Heavenly Principle Consciousness...
The realization left everyone stunned!
We give up.
We really shouldn't have tried to imagine your operation with our limited minds.
You call a feat like creating a world an operation?
Unbelievable!
After one shock after another, everyone had gone numb. They swore never to guess what a Containment Object was capable of again.
After all, even the slightest effort from one could reach heights beyond anything they could imagine.
