Heaven shook.
Not physically—
emotionally.
The Sterility Immortal paced back and forth like a man who knew a toddler might punch a hole through his front door.
"THIS IS BAD—
THIS IS VERY BAD—
SHE WIPED OUT MY LEGION—!!"
Angels trembled.
Inspectors cried.
Heavenly beasts hid behind clouds.
One officer kneeled.
"My lord… what shall we do?"
The Immortal grabbed him by the collar.
"I SAW HER EYES.
SHE WAS *CALMLY INSANE.*
She killed a Warlord with cleanliness. CLEANLINESS!"
The officer coughed.
"My lord… your grip…"
"QUIET! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE CLEANLY!"
Another officer stuttered:
"S-should we send another legion…?"
The Immortal slapped the floor so hard that divine tiles disinfected themselves.
"NO! NO MORE LEGIONS! I'M NOT WASTING TROOPS!
IT'S TIME FOR…
**THE FINAL CLEANSING PROTOCOL.**"
The officers gasped.
Legends spoke of it.
Angels fainted thinking about it.
Even heaven's janitors refused to talk about it.
"The Final Protocol, my lord?
Isn't that forbidden?"
"YES," the Immortal roared.
"That girl is ALSO forbidden.
We fight forbidden with forbidden!"
He marched toward the deepest chamber of Heaven.

⭐ 1. THE FORBIDDEN VAULT OF SANITIZATION
The doors hissed open.
Rows of ancient artifacts lined the room.
Cursed disinfectant cannons.
Holy bleach bombs.
Scrub-brush golems.
A mop taller than a mountain.
Tien would faint if he saw this place.
But these were not the real threat.
At the very end of the chamber—
Sealed in seven layers of holy steel—
Bound by chains of law—
Protected by the Oath of Order—
A coffin.
A glowing white coffin.
Pulsing like a heartbeat.
The Immortal touched it carefully.
A whisper leaked out:
"…Let… me… clean…"
The officer's face paled.
"My lord—
It's awake?!"
The Immortal nodded grimly.
"Yes.
The **Original Cleanser** is stirring."
The seals cracked.
Light poured out.
A shadowy silhouette rose from within the coffin—
A humanoid figure, tall and slender, with floating disinfection rings orbiting their body.
Eyes glowing pure white.
Skin as pale as snow.
Aura sharper than bleach.
It spoke—
calm, apathetic, chilling:
"Where…
is the impurity…"
"DOWN THERE!" the Immortal screamed, pointing at Dustwind Valley.
The Original Cleanser tilted their head.
"…Small.
Child.
Unclean aura detected."
The Immortal screamed louder:
"SHE IS NOT SMALL!
SHE IS A MONSTER IN A SMALL PACKAGE!"
The entity stepped out.
The mountain-sized mop behind them trembled.
"…Authorization granted.
Initiating extermination."
The Immortal swallowed hard.
"Remember—
DO NOT LET HER TOUCH YOU.
DO NOT LET HER CLEAN YOU.
DO NOT LOOK AT HER PILLOW."
The Cleanser paused.
"…What is pillow."
The Immortal shivered.
"Something more terrifying than you."
The Cleanser nodded once—
then vanished.

⭐ 2. THE CLEANER DESCENDS
Dustwind Valley's sky darkened.
Vice Director Lucina looked up.
"Oh no."
Secretary Minn's tablet vibrated violently.
"Estimated threat level:
Catastrophic."
ALKA-9's cauldron shook so hard it boiled over.
"Master is not fully recovered… this could be fatal."
Tien fainted before seeing anything.
Lin Ruyin hid behind the nearest tree.
Auntie Bao gently placed sleeping Miyu in Solene's arms.
Aurelius stepped forward.
"Everyone prepare."
A crack of white lightning.
A figure appeared.
Floating.
Silent.
Eyes glowing.
Rings of sterile light orbiting them.
The Original Cleanser had arrived.
They looked down at Dustwind like a janitor disappointed in a dirty floor.
"…Impurity confirmed."
Lucina snapped her clipboard.
"You. State your identity."
The Cleanser ignored her.
Their gaze fell on Miyu—weak, asleep, vulnerable.
"…Target located."
A wave of sterilizing force surged straight toward the sleeping girl.
It would have disintegrated her instantly—
If not for one person.

⭐ 3. AUNTIE BAO STANDS ALONE
Auntie Bao stepped in front of Miyu.
Her mop slammed into the ground.
"NO ONE TOUCHES MY BABY!"
The Cleanser paused.
"…Unregistered elder.
Weak.
Remove."
They raised their hand.
A beam of pure erasure formed.
Aurelius shouted:
"AUNTIE BAO—MOVE!!"
But she stood firm.
Stubborn.
Terrified.
Unyielding.
The beam fired—
But just before impact—
A hand caught it.
A small, gentle, familiar hand.
Miyu was awake.
Her eyes opened slowly.
"…Stop."
The beam shattered.
Auntie Bao gasped.
"M-Miyu—!"
Tien regained consciousness just long enough to scream:
"SHE WOKE UP FOR AUNTIE BAO—RUN EVERYONE RUN—!!"
The Cleanser examined her silently.
"You are the anomaly."
Miyu sat up slowly.
Still weak.
Still trembling.
"…You hurt Auntie?"
The Cleanser nodded.
"Correct."
Dustwind disciples: "NOOOOO YOU IDIOT—!!"
The Cleanser continued calmly:
"I will remove you next."
Miyu blinked once.
Her expression didn't change.
Her pillow glowed.
The air shattered.
"…Okay."
