The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Ahem, that was just...it was...it was unintentional, unintentional!"

Miku felt guilty as he spoke to the person in charge, after all, he was the mastermind behind the attack on their research institute. Even if the person didn't care, he still felt ashamed!

"Alright, let's leave here first." Hong Shang waved to Miku and said, "Didn't I promise you a big surprise gift? Now it's time for me to keep my promise!"

"A...a...a huge gift?"

Miku, puzzled, suddenly remembered that Hong had said he would give her a big surprise gift. So this was what was waiting for her here. But what exactly was it?

Full of doubts, Miku followed Hong Shang carrying a sack full of memory crystals. As they passed the huge laboratory where the Time-Space Demon God machine was parked, Uncle Hong Shang glanced at the Time-Space Demon God casually, his left little finger slightly raised.

Miku was completely unaware of this. Two red lights lit up in the cockpit of the Time-Space Demon God and landed on Miku. After a soft laugh, it fell silent again.

Miku, who followed Hong Shang out of the research institute, was surprised to find that he hadn't seen a single person along the way.

"Alright, get in the car. This surprise gift I prepared for you took me years to prepare!"

"What...what...what is so mysterious?"

Filled with unanswered questions, Miku felt a claw constantly tugging at his heartstrings, desperately wanting to know the truth, and he eagerly spoke up.

Uncle Hongshang said mysteriously, "Come with me, you'll see when we get there!"

Uncle Hongshang personally drove Miku to a manor outside the city. As they entered the manor, Uncle Hongshang explained, "This is the ancestral home of our Hongshang clan. The gift I prepared for you is inside!"

"bring it on!"

Uncle Hongshang, who got off the bus, led Miku into the main house. After opening a hidden door, Uncle Hongshang gestured for Miku to go in and then pressed the button inside the hidden door again.

The hidden door closed, and the ground began to sink. Listening to the faint scraping sounds around him, Miku estimated how deep they would have to go.

A dozen seconds later, the elevator jolted. Knowing they had arrived at their destination, Miku thought in surprise, "They've gone hundreds of meters underground! Could they have hollowed out Hongshang's old house?!"

"Follow me, Miku!"

General Hong led Miku to a huge underground cavern, where there were mountains of Cell Coins and a very strange machine.

"This...this...this machine is..."

Upon seeing the machine, Miku exclaimed in shock. Hong Shang nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Miku's reaction.

"This is my big surprise gift for you!"

"Miku!"

The machine in front of Miku was at least three meters tall, and its appearance resembled an enlarged soda can. Inside the can was a green solution, with occasional bubbles rising to the surface.

Miku was very familiar with this machine. After all, all its data was stored on the external chip in his pet collar. But why was there one in the basement of Uncle Hongshang's old house?!

"Why does Uncle Hong have a Gaia Fusion Device here?"

"Wasn't this designed by Philip for me at my request?"

"But why?"

Seeing Miku's shocked expression, Uncle Hong Shang smiled with his hands behind his back and said, "I know you really want to ask why I have this machine."

"But I regret to inform you that I cannot tell you the reason right now."

"This isn't just for me, it's for you too!"

Upon hearing this, Miku's bloodshot eyes revealed a hint of confusion, but he quickly suppressed it.

Although it was unclear why Uncle Hongshang possessed information about the Gaia Fusion Device and had created a finished product, Miku could tell from the uncle's completely unmalicious gaze that there must be something he was currently unaware of.

"What exactly happened that I don't know about, that would make Uncle Hongshang trust me so much?"

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Departed Time-Space Demon God, and the Rebirth of Miku!

Miku stood there, deep in thought, but after a long time, he still couldn't come up with an answer.

Miku hadn't even spent three months in the Three Eggs World before, and during those three months, Uncle Hong had always treated him this way. Miku, who was somewhat used to it, really didn't notice anything was wrong!

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. The most important thing right now is..."

Miku's eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the Gaia Fusion Device. In the original W storyline, the Gaia Processor that the old man prepared for Wakana took almost the entire series to create, and it was only a prototype. Moreover, Wakana's Extreme used the ultimate W as its data source and combined it with the ability of the gene dopant to finally obtain this power.

Miku currently has five memory crystals of varying sizes that can serve as raw materials for the Gaia processor. The most difficult part is how to turn the memory crystals into the Gaia processor.

"Miku, if I'm not mistaken, the bag behind you should contain memory crystals!"

"No...no...that's right!" Miku generously untied the sack and let Uncle Hongshang see it. Uncle Hongshang's face was a bright green color reflected by the memory crystal.

"awesome!"

Unconcerned about turning green, Hong Shang stared at the memory crystal with shining eyes, while Miku watched Hong Shang, who was more delighted than surprised.

"It seems Uncle Hongshang knows quite a lot, but how exactly does he know it?"

The memory crystals are crucial to Miku, but utterly useless to everyone else in this world.

After all, this isn't the core coin, so neither the Greedy Ones nor Three Eggs can use it. Uncle Hong Shang's mind is also focused on Three Eggs, hoping to use him to end all the Greedy Ones.

"Uncle Hongshang, there's something I... I... I need to ask you for a favor!"

Hong Shang raised his hand and said with a smile, "No need to say more, I understand."

"Okay...okay...alright then."

After handing the memory crystal over to Uncle Hongshang, Uncle Hongshang hurriedly left with the bag, leaving him alone in the Hongshang clan's old house. Miku, having deactivated his transformation, looked at the driver and memory core hanging on his body and slapped his forehead, exclaiming with a headache, "Oh no, how could I forget the drone in Fuuto!"

Miku was preoccupied with the memory crystal when he was about to leave. After transforming, he naturally forgot about the drone. Only now, after de-transforming, did he remember it.

So, men!

Miku, carrying the driver, wandered aimlessly around the old house. His mind was filled with the crystallization of memories, and he began to feel anxious and uncertain, with thoughts surging uncontrollably in his head.

Increasingly agitated, Miku opened the hidden door himself and descended into the ground. He squatted in front of the Gaia Fusion Device, staring blankly at the green solution inside the container.

Hongshang drove straight to the Biological Research Institute after leaving his old family home, where a guy who desperately needed a memory crystal was waiting for him.

Uncle Hongshang arrived at the biological research institute without incident. His custom-made suit was clearly out of place with the rough cloth sack he was carrying.

He hurried into the huge room where the Time-Space Demon Machine was parked and said to the cabin, "I brought back the memory crystal!"

"laugh....."

The hatch opened, and white steam billowed out and drifted in all directions. A tall figure in the steam reached out towards the sack in Hong's hand. The sack floated automatically into his hand.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

A soft voice reached Hong Shang's ears, "I need some time, and I'll leave the rest to you, Uncle Hong Shang, during that time!"

"fine!"

"I'm just worried that the little guy won't be able to wait!"

"He's still young, so he's bound to be a bit impulsive. Uncle Hong, please bear with him!"

"Cough cough cough..."

The figure coughed and gasped violently, gripping the hatch and gritting his teeth, "I won't let you get away with this, Si..."

As the sound abruptly stopped, the hatch closed again, a sight that filled Uncle Hongshang with worry.

"It seems his injuries have worsened. Fortunately, Miku brought back the memory crystal!"

Uncle Hongshang stood motionless in front of the Time-Space Demon Machine, waiting until dawn broke in the east before the hatch opened again.

"Uncle Hongshang, could you please give this to him for me? Also, I'm leaving now!"

Thank you for taking care of me over the years!

"You're being too polite. After all, you've taken good care of me!"

"I'm leaving that guy in your care, Uncle Hongshang!"

After the hatch closed, two crimson lights appeared on the head of the blue-gray Time-Space Demon God. At the same time, a loud and magnetic sound rang out, and the Time-Space Demon God transformed into vehicle mode, opened a hexagonal time-space portal out of thin air, and went inside.

"Safe journey!"

A rare look of melancholy appeared on Hong Shang's face as he held a hexagonal gem that shimmered with a faint green light in his hands.

......

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the underground space of Hongshang's old house. Miku turned his head and saw Uncle Hongshang holding a green hexagonal gemstone in both hands, walking slowly towards him with a solemn expression.

"Is that all?"

Looking in shock at the Gaia processor held in Uncle Hong's hands, Miku felt a surge of immense joy.

"Miku, the Gaia processor is complete!"

Uncle Hongshang, who had come to Miku's side, placed the Gaia Processor in front of him. Miku carefully placed his paw on the Gaia Processor, and an indescribable tremor rose from the bottom of his heart. The memory on his body, which was attached to the side of the driver, emitted an emerald green light.

"I resonated with it!"

Uncle Hongshang was shocked to see this scene and couldn't help but marvel at the extent of that person's strength.

"Let's begin, Miku!"

Hong Shang, having composed himself, spoke solemnly. Miku withdrew his claws from the Gaia processor and nodded excitedly.

Uncle Hong squatted down and pressed the saber-toothed tiger memory into the driver on Miku's back.

"Roar!!!"

An excited roar came from Miku's throat. After transforming, he grabbed the Gaia Processor and leaped to the front of the Gaia Fusion Device. With one hand, he opened the top cover and jumped into it, still holding the Gaia Processor.

Miku, immersed in the green solution, stared at Hong Shang with his bloodshot eyes. Hong Shang pulled the lever to activate the Gaia Fusion Device, and two pipes emerged from the device, aimed at the mountain of cell coins piled up beside it.

"Ding, ding, ding..."

Countless cellular coins were drawn into the pipes and were rapidly decomposed as soon as they entered the Gaia Fusion Device, accumulating little by little until they formed a tower from grains of sand.

The energy contained in each coin combined together, and an extremely large energy fluctuation emanated from the fusion device.

Considering that Miku lacked a genetic dopant to assist him, Philip designed this fusion machine for him. With sufficient energy support, Miku could rapidly fuse with the Gaia processor.

More and more energy was being transferred to the Gaia Fusion Unit through the pipes. Inside the three-meter-high tank, Miku held the hexagonal Gaia Processor, his body instinctively curling up into a ball.

Countless bubbles rose from the tube, enveloping Miku inside.
