When it says ‘one-seventh,’ it means this is just one of its seven abilities—not that its peak strength is seven times stronger than now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, achieving this effect mainly stems from its ability to control war and rage, which naturally suits such actions—and you three Senior Elders provided power, temporarily boosting me to 59 points of Li Ang value. Otherwise…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, we’d still be plenty strong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the three Cleaners’ expressions shift from shock to understanding, the Black Goat grew furious and blustered loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ungrateful wretch! After all these times, if it weren’t for me protecting you, you’d be dead somewhere already!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which of those messy anomalies in your hands even compares to me? I’m your greatest trump card, aren’t I? Even if you ditched every other anomaly, I still have the confidence to get you out alive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, you’re puffing up just because someone praised you...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the Black Goat’s increasingly absurd boasting, Li Ang couldn’t help but roll his eyes in exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True, [War Opposite] is a formidable anomaly, but the Black Goat’s ability to “one-shot” ten thousand soldiers came mainly from the 59-point contamination value boost and its Golden-Rank Demon Seal enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention anything else, the mere 59 points of pollution boost are already incredibly powerful; if replaced with the [Silver Severing Dagger], it could potentially slice open the entire district in front of the royal palace, sending these over ten thousand soldiers tumbling straight from the upper tier of the kingdom to its lower depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chose to use the Black Goat mainly because I didn’t want to kill people, and because its specialization meant lower consumption—but now, after just a few compliments, this thing is swelling up again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a hoarse voice rang out from afar, and the boastful Black Goat let out a shrill cry as a pitch-black long nail slammed into its forehead, causing it to instantly wither.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Li Ang’s shocked gaze, a middle-aged man in a messenger’s uniform pushed aside the fallen Legion Commander, straightened his wrinkled uniform, then smiled at Li Ang:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect a Level Three Cleaner to possess such a powerful anomaly. No wonder you dared defy Prince Andre... But no matter how strong an anomaly is, it has weaknesses. Now that I’ve sealed it, its remaining six abilities can no longer be used—you’ve lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, is it possible this guy was just bluffing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a slight twitch of his lips, Li Ang naturally didn’t bother explaining to his opponent. Instead, he slipped his hand behind his back and, under the worried gazes of the three Cleaners, asked with a strange expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you are...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m also a Cleaner—formerly of the Twin Branch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man bowed slightly, then smiled proudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My name is... Huh?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a startled grunt, the middle-aged man felt the world tilt slightly—his lower body remained standing, but his entire upper half slumped sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, on the chest of the unconscious Legion Commander, a polished medal gleamed like a mirror—and from within it, a hand gripping a silver dagger slowly retracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?! What did you do to me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell was this guy even here for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After slicing the middle-aged man open with [Mirror Dog] and [Cutting Silver Dagger], Li Ang frowned slightly and reached out to touch the black nail embedded in the Black Goat’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Name: Damaged Capricorn Secret Nail (Ritual, Guaranteed Hit)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Appearance: A simple black nail. Upon embedding into a target, it rapidly burns a black Capricorn ritual pattern—a ram’s head with a fish’s body—into the vicinity, which fades after 12 hours.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ability: Can be used once to activate an incomplete Capricorn “Anomaly Purification” ritual, guaranteed to hit the target.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Cost: Only those born between December 22 and January 19 may use it. After use, the secret nail vanishes permanently.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【File: One of the failed products from the Cleaner Bureau’s “Ritual Popularization Project—Capricorn” nine hundred years ago. Due to exorbitant cost and only temporary disruption of anomalies below Divine Rank, it was permanently archived and discontinued. Only a few finished products remain...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Evaluation: An immature ritual artifact. Tactical value is decent, but cost is too high and effect lasts only 12 hours—minimal significance.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Contamination Value: 0.1】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twelve hours? So the Black Goat can’t be used during this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That should be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Ang severed the middle-aged man’s body and began inspecting the Black Goat’s condition, Prince Andre in Research Zone One, the moment the signal on his instrument panel vanished, gave the order:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ‘Secret Nail’ has completed its task—sealing the target’s strongest anomaly. Send the other Cleaners in now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Andre’s command, Atifi 00 nodded on the instrument panel and suggested:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will these Cleaners be enough? I still have a stockpile of coded spiders. Should I control a few more legions to coordinate with them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Andre shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only the Royal Direct 1st through 6th Legions can achieve absolute obedience. Other legions lack discipline—if sent, they might be swayed by the enemy and defect mid-battle, causing chaos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atifi 00 nodded, then asked curiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, how did you know Li Ang had a large-scale anti-army anomaly? Did the Execution King’s Guild give you that info?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Andre stared at the light dots on the panel, not turning his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only know that most of a Cleaner’s strength lies in their anomalies. Faced with a legion capable of utterly destroying the Wang Gong and erasing all evidence, he wouldn’t dare hesitate—he’d use a powerful anomaly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At that moment, if the ‘Secret Nail’ seals that powerful anomaly, it effectively cripples half his combat power. Then sending other Cleaners after him becomes far easier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent, excellent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atifi 00 nodded, visibly relieved:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’ve planned this far, he won’t last long. I can save some effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t save any.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing back at her, Prince Andre said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Li Ang is strange. Those Twin Branch Cleaners may not be able to handle him. For safety, stick to the original plan... How’s the Scorpio Director doing? Has his brain been processed yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1136,"2026-06-20T03:18:35.371Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d70e57258be20c1fae53a63dec00af0046687a0196954f610345df8ac256cc46","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-942","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-940",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
