He silently mourned for the Church of the Master of Thunder in his heart. No matter how powerful an organization is, if it has an unreliable leader who even holds it back, it will eventually fall apart, especially when Alice is deliberately dragging her feet.

You'll never wake up someone pretending to be asleep.

After glancing at Alice's condition, Shen Sui switched the perspective of the Dueling Device to Martina. He planned to give Martina orders to blockade the entire ocean, preventing all living beings from being included in the sacrificial range of the Alchemy Array.

[Martina looked at Mitole kneeling before her, remained silent for a long while, and slowly said, "What kind of posture is this?"]

["Adewei said, when you apologize sincerely, you should take this posture." Mitole's forehead was pressed firmly against the floor.]

["If I remember correctly, when apologizing in this manner, shouldn't you take off your clothes?" Martina mumbled.]

[Mitole prepared to take action.]

["Stop stop stop! I forgive you!" Martina said, exasperatedly.]

Shen Sui, seeing this part, curiously asked Martina what happened?

Martina was surprised to receive a message from Shen Sui suddenly but quickly guessed that Shen Sui was observing her through the Dueling Device and therefore explained the reason behind everything.

The root cause was that Mitole had thrown Martina's tiger-striped shark into the washing machine.

Although Martina was a bit angry, she wasn't to the extent of blaming family members over a pet.

However, Mitole always felt uneasy, fearing Martina was mad at her, and thus tried hard to gain her forgiveness, leading to a situation that left Martina speechless: Mitole helped clean Martina's room. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

It would seem quite ordinary because, after all, cleaning the room is among a maid's duties.

But Martina is a mermaid! Her room is actually a miniature ocean, completely different from others' rooms.

When Shen Sui heard Martina explain this, he was still puzzled as to how Mitole managed to clean Martina's room.

In fact, Martina was also very curious about how Mitole accomplished this after finding out.

["So... she really helped you clean the room?" you asked.]

[Martina said in pain, "Yes, she indeed cleaned it."]

["So... what did she do?"]

["She turned all the seawater in my room into purified water!"]

"...."

["Purified water!" Martina said, holding her head, "I'm raising marine creatures in my room! And she cleaned the water that well!"]

Shen Sui pondered over Martina's description for a long time.

["So she changed the water?"]

["Not exactly," Martina said, "she really cleaned the seawater in my room... using her modified washing machine."]

Shen Sui still felt a bit puzzled at this point.

So he chatted with Martina while switching to Qishala's perspective to see what exactly Mitole did.

The truth was, as Martina said, the root of all this was Mitole earnestly cleaning Martina's room.

To achieve the utmost cleanliness, Mitole used her power to modify the laundry machine and then threw the washing machine into Martina's room. All the seawater and marine creatures were filtered through the washing machine in a fast and efficient manner for thorough cleaning.

The problem was that Mitole's cleaning was too thorough.

This washer modified by Mitole not only ultrafiltered the seawater in Martina's room into purified water but even filtered all the marine creatures in Martina's room.

The good news is that these marine creatures didn't lose their lives because of it.

The bad news is that some of the extraordinary powered aquatic creatures Martina brought back from the Dawn Continent and World No. 8 had their extraordinary power washed away in Mitole's cleaning spree.

I knew it, I heard the notification for a Life Card acquisition, but didn't see Alice's Life Card procured; it turned out it was Qishala's side that procured it.

[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Dragon Maid Mitole's Cleaning]

[Ding! You obtained an Equipment Spell Card: Mitole's Cleaning Machine]

Well!

Reading through the entire section, Shen Sui found he had nothing more to say besides admiring Mitole.

All he could say was, despite being purified, as a former Dragon God, Mitole's capabilities were indeed impressive.

This Equipment Spell Card, [Mitole's Cleaning Machine], could be considered a Divine Artifact. Though it can only be equipped by [Mitole] as a follower, as long as it is on the field, once per turn, Shen Sui can select three Life Cards on the opponent's field to permanently lose all effects and be graced with the [Purified] tag.

This loss of effect isn't something that can be reversed through repeated actions nor through neutralizing the machine; it continues until the normal duel concludes.

A very powerful Equipment Spell Card that, once the opponent's trump card is washed away by this cleaning machine, basically signals the opponent's defeat.

Hmm, curious about what would happen if it was used on a Soul Card, whether it would make the current form permanently lose its effect or make the entire Soul Card lose its effect.
