The Fleshly Heavenly Principle Orb Pulsates Like a Heart! And SCP-049 the Plague Doctor Is Subdued by Lavender (Continued)
(Third update, please subscribe. Everyone's support is what gives me the motivation to write. The next update will be around ten o'clock.)
Under the dumbfounded gazes of the livestream audience, in just five or six minutes, the Demon Slayer World had been completely devoured by countless black vortices...
It transformed into specks of starlight and merged into the Heavenly Principle Orb.
After devouring the Demon Slayer World, the inside of the Heavenly Principle Orb was no longer pitch-black. Instead, a continent radiating a gentle glow appeared within it.
Upon closer inspection, that continent was unmistakably the Demon Slayer World!
SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, reached out, took the Heavenly Principle Orb in his hand, and observed it carefully for a while before saying, "It seems my medical skills have improved considerably!"
"But they still haven't reached the level of 'perfection'!"
"This time, it can barely count as a surgical operation second only to 'perfection.'"
At this point, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor's voice became self-reproachful. "Although I completely eliminated the 'plague' from the Demon Slayer World..."
"I also extinguished the vitality of every living creature in this world."
"Although that is the price that had to be paid."
"Still, you can rest assured."
"Once I find a way to perfectly treat the 'plague,' I'll definitely revive you all!"
"To find a way to perfectly treat the 'plague' as soon as possible..."
"Let's conduct an experiment!"
As he spoke, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor placed the Heavenly Principle Orb and SCP-049-2*The Flesh That Hates (Heavenly Principle version) on the Operating Table in front of him...
He intended to perform reconstructive surgery on the two.
To fuse them together.
However, this time, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor seemed to have encountered some difficult problem. He did not begin his disgusting reconstructive surgery as smoothly as before...
Instead, he stood before the Operating Table, scratching his head and ears repeatedly. The surgical tools in his hands were replaced again and again, yet he still did not begin the operation.
Seeing this, everyone in the livestream knew that this reconstructive surgery had already exceeded SCP-049 the Plague Doctor's capabilities.
That was why he had not acted.
They thought, So Containment Objects have limits too!
But this was a good thing!
This result made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. After all, if SCP-049 the Plague Doctor successfully fused the Heavenly Principle Orb with SCP-049-2*The Flesh That Hates (Heavenly Principle version)...
What kind of Containment Object would be born?
They had confidence in the strength of the SCP Foundation. But this would be an entirely new Containment Object!
Before they understood its data...
Even the SCP Foundation might stumble.
If the SCP Foundation failed to contain it and allowed it to enter the Super God Universe, everything would be over!
[Orochimaru: Although I really want to know what kind of Containment Object would be born from their fusion, I have to admit that after seeing SCP-049 the Plague Doctor unable to begin for so long, I breathed a sigh of relief.]
[Child Emperor: Exactly! I feel the same way! After all, if something unexpected happened, the Super God Universe would be finished.]
[Pain: @SCP Foundation, why haven't you acted yet and contained SCP-049 the Plague Doctor? This Containment Object is too dangerous. Although my dream is to create a weapon of immense power...]
[But Containment Objects have already surpassed the category of weapons. They should never have appeared in this world!]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: @Pain, tell us more about your dream?]
[Danzo: @Pain, what are you planning to do after creating the weapon? Destroy the world, or use it yourself?]
[Pain: Distribute it to every village. Make sure that every village can destroy the other's existence before the other destroys them. That way, wars will decrease.]
[Genos: Isn't that just a nuclear weapon?]
[Child Emperor: @Pain, your idea is very good. Our world has already proven that it's feasible. Of course, that assumes other civilizations don't descend upon us.]
[Kaido: @Pain, make one. Can you give me a few? I can trade Devil Fruits for them!]
[Luffy: Everyone, look! SCP-049 the Plague Doctor has started the surgery!]
[...]
Following Luffy's reminder, everyone turned their attention back to the livestream. In the image, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor stood before the Operating Table and pondered for a long while...
He seemed to have thought of something.
Then he took a drill covered in rust from the medical bag close to his body and muttered, "How could I have forgotten about you?"
"Since the surgical plan has already been decided..."
"Let's begin!"
As he spoke, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor took a deep breath, placed the Heavenly Principle Orb on the Operating Table, and secured it. Then, under everyone's astonished gazes...
With the rust-covered drill, he began drilling into the Heavenly Principle Orb under the livestream audience's dumbfounded stares.
As SCP-049 the Plague Doctor worked, countless sparks erupted between the Heavenly Principle Orb and the drill.
Upon closer inspection, these sparks were actually fragments of world barriers. After falling from the Heavenly Principle Orb, the fragments turned into specks of starlight and vanished into the void.
Seeing this scene, the livestream audience did not know what to say!
Brother, do you really have to be this violent?
You're drilling straight into it!
Is this even surgery?
This is unbelievable!
As the livestream audience silently complained about SCP-049 the Plague Doctor being too rough, under his efforts...
A small hole had been drilled into the Heavenly Principle Orb.
Then SCP-049 the Plague Doctor put down the drill, grabbed a funnel, and directly poured SCP-049-2*The Flesh That Hates (Heavenly Principle version) through the hole...
Into the Heavenly Principle Orb.
As the body of SCP-049-2*The Flesh That Hates (Heavenly Principle version), covered in distorted faces, completely merged into the Heavenly Principle Orb, the orb, which had originally been smooth as a mirror...
Began to crack inch by inch under the livestream audience's astonished gazes.
"Crack..."
"Crack..."
A continuous series of cracking sounds echoed through this strange space before transforming into specks of starlight and vanishing from the spot.
"Could it have... failed?"
Holy Kesha reclined sideways on her throne, staring at the scene in the image with tightly furrowed brows. She muttered, "It's good that it failed. Otherwise, if something went wrong..."
"That would be troublesome!"
The moment Holy Kesha finished speaking, a brand-new Heavenly Principle Orb appeared in the livestream image where the original orb had shattered.
However, compared to the previous one, this Heavenly Principle Orb...
Was much more disgusting.
Not only did it lack a smooth, round surface, its entire exterior was composed of distorted, anguished human faces. One glance was enough to cause physical discomfort.
Inside, the Demon Slayer Landscape was also completely covered by chunks of flesh.
Even more terrifyingly, this Heavenly Principle Orb pulsed like a heart. Its rhythmic thudding sounded like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper...
It exploded deep within the souls of everyone in the livestream, making waves of nausea rise within them.
SCP-049 the Plague Doctor looked at the pulsing Flesh Heavenly Principle Orb. In a hoarse voice, he shouted excitedly, "Success!"
"I actually succeeded!"
"This is my most successful surgery to date!"
"I can feel my medical skills have improved tremendously!"
At this point, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor held the Flesh Heavenly Principle Orb in his hands. While carefully examining it, he continued excitedly, "I believe I'm close to finding a way to perfectly treat the 'plague'!"
"I'm finally close to fulfilling my duty."
"I..."
Just as SCP-049 the Plague Doctor held the Heavenly Principle Orb and shouted excitedly, a spatial rift appeared behind him. Then a fully armed Mobile Task Force, each member bearing the Foundation insignia on their chest...
Streamed out of the spatial rift one after another.
After seeing this, everyone in the livestream breathed a sigh of relief. They thought, The SCP Foundation has finally acted.
However, as they relaxed, doubts inevitably arose in their hearts.
Wasn't the timing of the SCP Foundation's intervention a little too coincidental? SCP-049 the Plague Doctor had only just fused SCP-049-2*The Flesh That Hates (Heavenly Principle version) with the Demon Slayer Heavenly Principle Orb...
Through surgery.
And they had acted.
Could it be that their goal from the very beginning had been to use SCP-049 the Plague Doctor to create this constantly pulsing, heart-like [Flesh Heavenly Principle Orb]?
If that was really the case, then the SCP Foundation's style of operation perfectly embodied the meaning of "the Great Way is ruthless."
However, compared to pondering such things...
The livestream audience was more curious about how the SCP Foundation would contain SCP-049 the Plague Doctor, who possessed a conceptual-level instant-kill ability.
They admitted that this Mobile Task Force was truly extraordinary.
They were strong enough to contend with an Angel squad of equal numbers.
But they were still not enough to contain SCP-049 the Plague Doctor. Could it be that they possessed Containment Objects?
Yet the following scene left the livestream audience mired in deep self-doubt. This Mobile Task Force did not use any Containment Objects...
They did not even use force.
The captain of the Mobile Task Force merely handed SCP-049 the Plague Doctor a handful of fresh Lavender.
Then SCP-049 the Plague Doctor collapsed limply onto the ground as if drunk, losing the ability to resist. Afterward, the Mobile Task Force members skillfully used a stretcher...
They carried SCP-049 the Plague Doctor into the Void Passage and disappeared.
As for the Flesh Heavenly Principle Orb, they placed it inside a strange device and carried it into the Void Passage together with SCP-049 the Plague Doctor.
Then, while everyone in the livestream was still stunned, the Void Passage disappeared.
Immediately afterward, the livestream image dimmed as well.
This outcome exceeded everyone's expectations.
What the hell?
That worked too?
There had been no imagined great battle, nor had they used any other Containment Objects! They had successfully subdued SCP-049 the Plague Doctor with just a few sprigs of Lavender!
This result could only be described as absurd.
This was unbelievable!
The livestream audience remained immersed in that strange, absurd emotion for a long time, unable to pull themselves free!

(Fourth update, please subscribe. Everyone's support is what gives me the motivation to write. The next update will be around midnight. I'm not sure exactly what time, but it will definitely come!)
The livestream audience stared at the gradually darkening screen, unable to describe their current feelings in words.
What the hell?
SCP-049 the Plague Doctor, who had been invincible in their hearts, was actually afraid of Lavender.
Who could they even argue with about that?
If they had not personally seen SCP-049 the Plague Doctor get knocked unconscious by a handful of Lavender in the livestream...
They would never have believed it, even if they were beaten to death!
After a long while, everyone finally recovered from that indescribable absurdity. Even so, they remained in a dazed state!
