Under the stunned gaze of the livestream viewers, countless black vortices swallowed the Demon Slayer World whole in just five or six minutes...

It dissolved into specks of starlight that merged with the Heavenly Principle Orb.

After devouring the Demon Slayer World, the orb was no longer pitch-black inside. A continent bathed in soft light had appeared within it.

A closer look revealed that the continent was the Demon Slayer World!

SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, took the Heavenly Principle Orb in his hand. After studying it for a while, he said, "It seems my medical skills have improved considerably!"

"But they still haven't reached perfection!"

"This barely counts as surgery just short of perfect."

His voice filled with self-reproach. "Although I completely purged the 'pestilence' from the Demon Slayer World..."

"I also extinguished every living thing in it."

"That was a necessary price."

"But don't worry."

"Once I find a perfect cure for the 'pestilence,' I'll bring you all back!"

"And to find that cure sooner..."

"Let's conduct an experiment!"

As he spoke, SCP-049 placed the Heavenly Principle Orb and SCP-049-2, The Flesh That Hates (Heavenly Principle version), on the operating table before him...

He intended to perform surgery on them.

He would fuse them together.

This time, however, SCP-049 seemed to have run into a difficult problem. He did not begin his revolting surgery with his usual practiced ease...

Instead, he stood before the Operating Table, scratching his head. He swapped out his surgical instruments again and again, but still could not begin.

The livestream viewers realized that this surgery was beyond SCP-049's abilities.

That was why he had yet to make a move.

So even Containment Objects have limits!

Good thing, too!

The outcome let them breathe a sigh of relief. If SCP-049 succeeded in fusing the Heavenly Principle Orb with SCP-049-2, The Flesh That Hates (Heavenly Principle version)...

What kind of Containment Object would be born?

They trusted the SCP Foundation's strength. But this would be an entirely new Containment Object!

Until they understood its properties...

Even the SCP Foundation might suffer a setback.

If the SCP Foundation failed to contain it and it entered the Super God Universe, everything would be over!

[Orochimaru: I want to know what kind of Containment Object their fusion would create. But I have to admit, seeing SCP-049 unable to start was a relief.]

[Child Emperor: Exactly! I feel the same way! If anything went wrong, the Super God Universe would be finished.]

[Pain: @SCP Foundation, aren't you going to contain SCP-049? This Containment Object is too dangerous. My dream may be to create a powerful weapon...]

[But Containment Objects go beyond weapons. They shouldn't exist in this world!]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: @Pain, tell us more about this dream of yours.]

[Danzo: @Pain, once you make that weapon, what will you do with it? Destroy the world or use it yourself?]

[Pain: Give one to every village. That way, each village can destroy the other before the other destroys it. There will be fewer wars.]

[Genos: Isn't that just a nuclear weapon?]

[Child Emperor: @Pain, it's a sound idea. Our world has already shown that it can work. Provided no other civilization arrives, of course.]

[Kaido: @Pain, make some. Can you give me a few? I can trade Devil Fruits for them!]

[Luffy: Everyone, look! SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, is starting the surgery!]

[...]

At Luffy's reminder, everyone returned their attention to the livestream. On-screen, SCP-049 stood before the operating table. After thinking for a long while...

He seemed to have an idea.

He pulled a rust-covered drill bit from the medical bag he kept close to his body and muttered, "How could I have forgotten you?"

"Now that I've settled on a surgical plan..."

"Let's begin!"

SCP-049 took a deep breath, placed the Heavenly Principle Orb on the operating table, and secured it. Then, to everyone's astonishment...

He took the rusty drill bit and began drilling into the Heavenly Principle Orb as the viewers watched, dumbfounded.

Sparks flew where the drill bit met the Heavenly Principle Orb.

On closer inspection, those sparks were fragments of the world's barrier. As they broke away from the Heavenly Principle Orb, they turned into specks of starlight and vanished into the void.

The livestream viewers were at a loss for words.

Come on, did he have to be that brutal?

He's drilling straight into it!

Is this still surgery?

What the hell?

As the viewers silently complained about SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, being too rough, his efforts finally produced results...

A small hole had been drilled into the Heavenly Principle Orb.

SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, set down the drill bit, grabbed a funnel, and poured SCP-049-2, The Flesh That Hates (Heavenly Principle version), through the hole...

Straight into the Heavenly Principle Orb.

Once the entire body of SCP-049-2, The Flesh That Hates (Heavenly Principle version), covered in twisted faces, had entered the Heavenly Principle Orb, its formerly mirror-smooth surface...

Began to crack before the viewers' bewildered eyes.

Crack...

Crack...

The cracking echoed through the strange space without end. Then the orb dissolved into specks of starlight and vanished.

"Did it... fail?"

Holy Kesha reclined on her throne, frowning at the scene on-screen. "Perhaps it's better if it failed. If anything had gone wrong..."

"We'd be in trouble!"

The moment Holy Kesha finished speaking, a new Heavenly Principle Orb appeared where the old one had shattered.

But this Heavenly Principle Orb was different from the previous one...

This one was far more revolting.

Its surface was neither smooth nor round. It was made entirely of twisted, agonized human faces. One glance was enough to turn a person's stomach.

The Demon Slayer Landscape inside it was completely covered in flesh.

Worse still, this Heavenly Principle Orb pulsed like a heart. Its rhythmic beating sounded like the footsteps of the God of Death...

It thundered deep in the souls of everyone watching the livestream, making waves of nausea rise within them.

SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, stared at the pulsing Flesh Heavenly Principle Orb and cried out in hoarse excitement, "It worked!"

"I really succeeded!"

"This is my most successful surgery yet!"

"I can feel how much my medical skills have improved!"

SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, cradled the Flesh Heavenly Principle Orb in his hands. Examining it closely, he continued excitedly, "I believe I'm close to finding a perfect cure for the 'pestilence'!"

"I'm finally close to fulfilling my duty."

"I..."

As SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, held the Heavenly Principle Orb and shouted with excitement, a rift in space opened behind him. Then a fully armed Mobile Task Force squad, with the Foundation's insignia on their chests...

Filed out of the rift.

The livestream viewers breathed a collective sigh of relief. The SCP Foundation has finally acted.

But their relief came with a question.

Wasn't the SCP Foundation's timing a little too convenient? SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, had only just fused SCP-049-2, The Flesh That Hates (Heavenly Principle version), with the Demon Slayer World's Heavenly Principle Orb...

Through surgery.

And only then had they stepped in.

Could it be that their goal all along was to use SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, to create this pulsing Flesh Heavenly Principle Orb?

If so, the SCP Foundation's actions showed just how merciless it could be.

But rather than dwell on that...

The viewers were more curious about how the SCP Foundation would contain SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, who possessed a conceptual erasure ability.

They had to admit that this Mobile Task Force squad was formidable.

It could hold its own against an Angel squad of equal size.

But that alone was not enough to contain SCP-049, the Plague Doctor. Did they have a Containment Object with them?

What happened next left the viewers doubting their own eyes. The Mobile Task Force used no Containment Object...

They did not even use force.

The squad leader simply handed SCP-049 a fresh bunch of lavender.

SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, immediately collapsed to the ground as though drunk, unable to resist. The Mobile Task Force members then deftly placed him on a stretcher...

They carried SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, into the Void Passage, where they disappeared.

They put the Flesh Heavenly Principle Orb into a strange device and took it into the Void Passage along with SCP-049, the Plague Doctor.

Then, while the viewers were still staring in shock, the Void Passage vanished.

The livestream screen went dark.

No one had expected that outcome.

What was that?

That actually worked?

There had been no great battle and no other Containment Object! A few sprigs of Lavender had been enough to subdue SCP-049, the Plague Doctor!

The result was absurd.

What the Demon?

The viewers remained caught in that strange sense of absurdity for a long time.

(Fourth update. Please subscribe. Your support keeps me writing. The next update will be around midnight. I'm not sure of the exact time, but there will be one!)

The livestream viewers stared at the screen as it faded to black, unable to put their feelings into words.

What was that?

SCP-049, the Plague Doctor they had thought invincible, was actually afraid of ‘Lavender’.

How was that supposed to make sense?

If they had not seen SCP-049, the Plague Doctor, knocked unconscious by a bunch of ‘Lavender’ with their own eyes on the livestream...

They never would have believed it!

It took a long time for everyone to recover from the unspeakable absurdity of it all. Even then, they remained dazed!
