The forbidden halo of Absolute Sterility crashed toward Dustwind Valley like a collapsing star.
A wave of erasure radiated from its surface.
Anything it touched—
air, stone, spirit, memory—
simply vanished.
Tien woke up from fainting just long enough to scream:
"NOOOOOOOOO—!!!"
Lin Ruyin held onto a tree (which immediately straightened itself due to fear).
Aurelius clenched his blade.
Auntie Bao shielded Miyu with her arms.
But Miyu…
She floated calmly.
Eyes half-open.
Expression soft and empty.
"…Too bright."
She tapped her pillow.
*Tap.*
A tiny, almost adorable sound.
The halo stopped midair.
The Immortal froze.
"…What?"
Miyu blinked.
She tapped again.
*fwmp.*
The taboo halo—
the ultimate heavenly sterilization weapon—
the destruction of existence itself—
**cracked.**
Like a cheap plate dropped on the kitchen floor.
The Immortal shrieked:
"NO—NO—NO—
YOU CAN'T BREAK A TABOO HALO—!!!"
Miyu tapped it one last time.
*fwump.*
The halo shattered into perfectly symmetrical glass-like shards, which rearranged themselves into a polite circle around Miyu's head…
…like a crown.
Tien fainted for the 34th time today.
Aurelius whispered:
"She…
She purified a taboo…
AND MADE IT HER ACCESSORY."
Solene sketched the scene while crying from awe.
Lin Ruyin collapsed.
"This is no longer Murim…
This is a cleaning-themed apocalypse…"

⭐ 1. MIYU'S "HALO OF PURE ORDER" FORMS
The shards of the broken taboo halo rotated around Miyu.
They glowed.
They synchronized.
They straightened.
They formed a halo so clean—
so pure—
so mathematically perfect—
that reality adjusted itself just by looking at it.
ALKA-9 scanned it and malfunctioned.
"Master has…
created a new divine class artifact.
Designation: **Halo of Pure Order.**
Danger level: incalculable.
Heaven cannot comprehend this."
Lucina took a step back.
"…Master has evolved."
Minn's tablet announced:
"Emergency note: Please do NOT anger Master."
Everyone:
"We KNOW!!!"
---
⭐ 2. THE IMMORTAL BREAKS
The Sterility Immortal stumbled backward.
Sweat poured down his face.
He grabbed his hair—
pulled—
and screamed:
"YOU—
YOU —
YOU BROKE MY TABOO HALO—?!?!"
Miyu blinked.
"…Crooked."
The Immortal's scream hit a new octave.
"I AM NOT CROOKED—!!
I AM THE PERFECT SYMBOL OF ORDER—!!"
Miyu floated closer.
Her pillow glowed.
"…You're messy."
Tien (from the ground):
"MASTER, PLEASE STOP PROVOKING A GOD—!!"
The Immortal trembled.
"You little monster…
You think you know CLEAN?!
I have lived for eons!
I have purged planets!
I have sterilized dimensions!"
Miyu pointed at his halo.
"…Ugly."
He broke inside.
---
⭐ 3. THE IMMORTAL'S FALL
In utter desperation, the Immortal gathered his full power.
"FINE!
IF YOU WANT CLEAN, I'LL SHOW YOU!"
He pulled every particle, every divine law, every atom of purity into one point.
A sphere of fatal, absolute sterilization formed in his hand.
He roared:
"I WILL ERASE EVERYTHING YOU LOVE!"
The sphere expanded—
thin, sharp, cutting—
until faint cracks spread across the valley.
Auntie Bao shouted:
"MIYU, MOVE—!!"
Aurelius yelled:
"MASTER—THIS ATTACK CAN'T BE BLOCKED—!!"
ALKA-9's voice trembled.
"It will erase Miyu completely—she's still weakened!"
Minn prepared a schedule titled:
**"Emergency Resurrection Procedures."**
Lucina tightened her grip on her clipboard.
But Miyu…
She floated forward.
Her halo aligned.
Her pillow shined like a star.
Her eyes sharpened.
"…Don't touch Auntie."
The Immortal hurled the sphere.
"DIE, CHILD!"
The sphere hit Miyu—
And—
**DIDN'T EXPLODE.**
It compressed.
It compacted.
It folded into itself like laundry.
Then—
*plip.*
It transformed into a perfectly folded napkin.
Silence.
Tien screamed from the dirt:
"WHAT KIND OF FIGHT IS THIS—?! IS THIS STILL A FIGHT OR LAUNDRY DAY AT THE END OF THE WORLD?!"
---
⭐ 4. THE IMMORTAL'S DESPAIR
The Immortal fell to his knees.
His voice cracked.
"What… are you…?"
Miyu floated down.
Her voice gentle.
"…Clean."
He sobbed.
"STOP CALLING ME DIRTY—!!!"
Miyu raised her pillow.
The Immortal flinched.
"No—wait—WAIT—WE CAN TALK—WE CAN NEGOTIATE—WE CAN SHARE CLEANING TIPS—!!!"
Miyu's eyebrow twitched.
"…You hurt Auntie.
And my sect."
She held her pillow higher.
"…Bad."
The Immortal's face drained of color.
"No—
No—
NO—!!"
---
⭐ 5. CLIFFHANGER — THE END OF A GOD?
Miyu swung.
A halo of pure order erupted behind her.
The world turned white.
The Immortal screamed.
"AAAAAAAAA—!!!"
The screen went blank.
Dustwind disciples shielded their eyes.
The valley shook.
Heaven quaked.
And then—
Everything went silent.
