"From my years of research, plague symptoms are exactly as you described—arrogant self-righteousness, blindly convinced they're correct, and utterly foolish!"
"Among all living things, only humans exhibit these symptoms. That's why human history is filled with bloodshed and tragedy!"
"The reason I work so hard to find a cure for plague is to stop history's tragedies from repeating themselves!"
The Plague Doctor's voice rose in passion, lifting her cane like a knight making an oath.
Then her shoulders slumped. She tapped her cane on the ground, sighing helplessly.
"But… no matter how long I've tried, I still haven't made any progress."
"To be honest, if the 'plague' you speak of is a problem of ideology, it probably can't be solved with medicine. Changing people's minds is the only real solution."
Dragon spoke bluntly, a bit speechless.
Trying to change ideology through physical surgery… her entire research direction was wrong from the start.
"Hey, Dragon, I just praised you and now you're dismissing my research?!"
The Plague Doctor immediately puffed up, hands on her hips, glaring.
"My research is flawless. It just needs time to prove itself! If humans could change their minds so easily without going astray, there wouldn't be so many tragedies in the first place. My methods are absolutely correct!"
She declared firmly.
Dragon didn't know what to say, though he did agree with some of her points.
"By the way, about the vampire factory… is there really no way to deal with it other than sacrifice?"
Dragon still couldn't let go of that question.
"I don't know. Maybe if I one day perfect my plague cure, I could try it on that thing."
She shrugged casually.
"Good luck with that."
Dragon sighed, deciding to leave.
"Goodbye. I enjoyed our talk. At least you understand me. I'll consider your suggestions—maybe they'll help my research."
She said politely as she saw him out.
Dragon twitched his lips. Help her research? How exactly?
Add human minds to her zombie-like creations?
He didn't dare think further and quickened his pace out of the lab.
"Mr. Dragon, where are you going?"
A blonde teenager with water pipes strapped to his back called out curiously.
"I'm heading to Sabaody Archipelago. Kuma might be there."
Dragon replied calmly.
He hadn't contacted Kuma in a long time. Seeing his situation on the screen made him worry.
Besides, he had heard rumors that Kuma made some sort of deal with the World Government, which only increased his concern.
"What?! Kuma?! I'm coming too!"
The boy immediately pleaded.
"If I don't agree, you'll just follow anyway. Fine, hold on tight, Sabo."
"Yeah!"
Sabo nodded firmly and grabbed Dragon's arm. Then Dragon used his vector manipulation.
With a powerful propulsion force beneath his feet, he soared into the sky with Sabo in tow.

[Now predicting the next SCP – Ghidorah, Devourer of Stars]
As the screen's voice ended, a photo appeared.
Inside a black hole emerged three golden dragons, each wreathed in lightning. They looked terrifying beyond belief.
Dan Moroboshi: "Another kaiju this time?"
Garp: "Please don't let it be another one of those 'only sacrifice can contain it' monsters…"
Daigo: "Damn, something's come up on my end. If anything important happens, please update me later."
Natasha: "Huh? What happened? Another monster?"
Daigo: "No… it's a massive angel."
Tony Stark: "What? Angel? Are you kidding?"
Daigo: "No, it's real. This angel claims that Dyna is evil, that my appearance has attracted countless monsters… and many people are starting to believe it."
Dan Moroboshi: "That must be an alien invader's plot! They're trying to destroy humanity's trust in Ultramen so they can defeat you easily. Without Ultramen to protect them, humanity would be at their mercy!"
Loki: "Are you sure about that? Maybe it's true. Honestly, I doubt any race in the universe is so noble as to protect other worlds unconditionally."
Loki: "Even Asgard only protects a few worlds because they're part of our territory."
Dan Moroboshi: "A few worlds? The universe is vast. You're just a frog at the bottom of a well."
Loki: "Who are you calling a frog?!"
Bruce Wayne: "There's a saying on our world that heroes' existence inspires villains to grow stronger, forcing them to develop more dangerous powers to protect their interests. More villains appear in response."
Bruce Wayne: "It's like the Chinese concept of Yin and Yang balance. The world never allows either side—good or evil—to become too powerful. It maintains a delicate equilibrium."
Naruto: "Huh? Why is that?"
Jiraiya: "That's human nature. They can't resist the seduction of power… and fall into evil."
Daigo: "But that has nothing to do with me, does it?! There's no way my existence is why all these monsters show up. They aren't just appearing to challenge me… right?"
Orochimaru: "Maybe they were hiding in the shadows until Ultramen appeared. Now they feel threatened and are revealing themselves to complete their goals. So yes, your presence might be triggering more crises."
Feng Yuan: "Either way, even without Ultramen they'd still show up. Many would die anyway! Daigo, don't let it weigh on you. Just do what you must."
Daigo: "Yeah!"
As everyone debated, the screen began playing footage.
[It was early morning. Suddenly, a massive black hole appeared in the sky. Three golden dragons emerged from it and attacked Earth in the SCP universe.]
[These dragons wielded immense power, manipulating gravity and distorting gravitational forces.]
The footage showed a blue sky torn open by a vast black hole, from which the three golden dragons emerged.
However, they did not fully leave the hole—their roots remained connected within.
When they appeared, gravitational fields within thousands of miles fell into chaos.
Some regions were crushed under invisible weight, collapsing in an instant.
In others, massive objects, even skyscrapers and mountains, floated into the sky.
[As soon as they began their rampage, the SCP Foundation deployed satellite weapons to strike them—only to discover the horrifying truth.]
The footage switched to space, where numerous satellites locked onto the dragons' coordinates, firing powerful beams down.
In a flash, the beams reached Earth, targeting the dragons.
These satellite laser weapons were among the Foundation's most advanced long-range attack systems.
They were dozens of times stronger than nuclear weapons, but their impact zones were far more controlled.
Everyone assumed such firepower would work.
But when the outcome played out, all were left speechless.
