The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"That's the whole story!" After recounting everything, DJ Sagara flipped his hand and put away half of the golden fruit. "It must be because of the influence and resonance between the two worlds that the soul memories of the deceased Gao Siwu flooded into the body of another version of her, disrupting cause and effect, and thus creating this situation."

"So..." Bai Ya pondered for a moment, then looked at Sugar and said, "There will be two Beginning Daughters born?"

"That's right, that's how it looks for now!"

"Moreover, there can only be one final winner, and there can only be one Daughter of the Beginning. This battle for the fruit is really too interesting."

DJ Sagara, who had been smiling, suddenly transformed into vines and disappeared from the spot, leaving only Shirai and Sugar holding half of the golden fruit.

"It seems your future path is going to be very difficult!"

“I believe in him!” Sugar clenched her fist and said with her head down, “No matter what, I believe in him. He will appear when I need help the most, just like when we first met!”

"Pray!" Baiya pushed half of the golden fruit in his hand toward Sugar: "Pray that everything will go as you expect."

"I will!"

Sugar raised her hand and grabbed the golden fruit, letting out a soft hum. A flash of light appeared on her body as she sensed something new growing inside her.

But that strange feeling quickly disappeared.

But something inexplicable welled up in her heart.

Sugar, whose left pupil revealed a hint of red, clasped her hands in front of her chest and closed her eyes.

"I'll be waiting for you there!"

"My hero..."

"Miku!"

Sugar's body slowly faded and disappeared into another space. After staring at the spot where Sugar had disappeared for a long time, Bai Ya turned over and came to his throne.

"Another crucial choice has begun!"

.............

Rooftop of a building in Sawame City.

DJ Sagara suddenly appeared. After looking at the city for a moment, he took out the Golden Fruit and smiled slightly: "Hey, two Beginning Daughters."

"I wonder who will be the final winner this time?!"

"The battle for the Golden Fruit has now officially begun!"

Chapter 55: Hope for Saving Iggy!

In Sawame City, a spatial rift suddenly opened, and a man and a woman walked out from it.

Is this another Sawame City?

The young man in the blue hoodie looked around, and the desolate and bleak scenery came into view, making him feel as if something was blocking his heart.

"What should we do next, Kouta?"

Gao Siwu instinctively grabbed Sha Cheng's sleeve, and Sha Cheng sighed, "Let's find someone to ask about the current situation first!"

The two walked side by side, gradually disappearing into the distance along the devastated streets until they vanished at the end of the street.

.................

"What's wrong? Where did your earlier bravado go?!"

Guangjin kicked Aojiao, sending him sprawling onto his back. Aojiao, covered in bruises and panting heavily, looked at Guangjin with resentment.

"Damn it, why can't we beat them?"

Having absorbed the power of his other self, Ao Jiao could clearly feel a significant increase in his own strength, but he was powerless against Guang Jin.

"It's time to end this. Since you've pleased me, I'll give you a quick death!"

A cold glint flashed in the golden eyes as the longsword was raised high. "Die!"

"Shh!"

As the longsword fell, a flash of cold light appeared.

"clang!"

The clanging of metal rang out. Guang Jin looked at the greatsword lying across Ao Jiao's body, his gaze moving upwards. When he saw the sword's owner, a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

"Fimsim?!"

After sheathing his sword, Guang Jin looked at Zhen Hong with great apprehension. He knew that he was originally an artificial "Golden Fruit" created by the intelligent life of the Helheim Forest. Facing the Fimsims, he was naturally at a disadvantage, not to mention that their king was now a hegemon of the Helheim Forest.

"Oh?"

As Shinku slowly sheathed his sword, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes as he looked at Kougin. He had thought that the guy in front of him was just a monkey, no different from anyone else in Sawame City.

But the other party actually recognized him, which is quite interesting.

"Since you recognize me, it means you also come from the Forest of Helheim. That makes things easier!"

"What do you want to do?!"

"We've got you! We'll take you to see those two lords!"

"what?!"

With a change in expression, Guang Jin instinctively turned to run away, but Zhen Hong gave him no chance. Holding her sword upright in front of her, Zhen Hong's eyes flashed red, and the next second, she turned into a dark red gaseous mass.

"Master isn't human?!"

Lying on the ground, Aojiao watched in disbelief as the gaseous mass formed by Zhenhong roared toward Guangjin, completely enveloping and controlling it amidst the surging airflow.

"Damn it, Fimsim!"

A roar came from the mouth of the struggling Guangjin, but Zhenhong remained unmoved and instead used her power to forcibly bind Guangjin.

Soon, several chains glowing red appeared on Guangjin's body amidst the surging gaseous mass.

"call..."

With her body transforming back into human form, Crimson yanked her arm, pulling Kōjin to the ground before stepping on him.

"No matter who you are, meeting those two lords is an unavoidable fact, but before that, I need to collect some interest from my disciple!"

As he spoke, Zhenhong glanced at Aojiao, and when he saw the wounds on Aojiao's body, he raised his foot again and slammed it down heavily.

"boom!"

As the ground collapsed, cracks spread out.

"Wow!!!"

With a groan, Kōjin's body suddenly went limp. Shinku snorted with satisfaction; that last blow had at least broken a row of ribs for that bastard.

"Are you alright, Jiedou?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Master..." Ao Jiao struggled to get up, but his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground again. Zhen Hong's figure flashed and she caught him in her arms.

"Although I kept it from you for a while, now that you've been confirmed as a qualified candidate, I no longer need to pretend. Besides, it's time to forge a weapon for you!"

"arms?!"

Ao Jiao looked at Zhen Hong with some confusion. Zhen Hong nodded and said, "That's right, but that old goat is not easy to talk to. You still need to prepare."

"Get ready?!"

"Yes, prepare for your trial!"

Po glanced meaningfully at Ao Jiao's crimson eyes, a hint of a smile appearing. Ao Jiao shuddered; he had a feeling that his master had some ill intentions.

"I'll take you back first. Take good care of your injuries in the meantime."

"it is good!"

After escorting Aojiao back to Baron's base, Zhenhong found a spatial rift and went inside.

Carrying the golden light, Crimson left a trail of afterimages behind him, and he quickly arrived at the throne room.

"king!"

After bowing respectfully to Baiya, Zhenhong tossed Guangjin to the ground. Baiya looked at Guangjin curiously and asked, "Zhenhong, why did you bring someone here?!"

“Your Majesty, this fellow comes from the Forest of Helheim and has violated the rules you and the Overlord set out for him.”

"Oh!"

Bai Ya looked at Guang Jin in surprise. With Fimsim under his control and the example of Emerald, no one dared to provoke them again. So where did this guy come from?

"Buzz!"

With a blue light flashing in his eyes, Bai Ya stared intently at Guang Jin. Under his gaze, a golden light suddenly shimmered on the surface of Guang Jin's limp body on the ground.

Then, in Bai Ya's eyes, the knight armor on Guang Jin's body slowly disappeared, followed by his skin, blood vessels, muscles, and bones. Everything turned into an illusion in Bai Ya's eyes, leaving only the most real side.

A shimmering golden fruit, but its interior is a chaotic and unpredictable entity.

"I see..." Bai Ya exclaimed after seeing the whole truth. Zhen Hong asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what race is he?"

"Race?"

"He's not even a living being; at best, he's just a failure!" Bai Ya mocked ruthlessly, recalling the ridiculous things that his laughable race had done.

"In that case, what should we do with it?"

Shinku drew her greatsword, a bloodthirsty glint flashing on its blade. Hakuya raised a hand to stop Shinku, "Leave it to me, you can go back to what you're doing!"

"As ordered!"

With a respectful bow, Shinku turned and left the throne room. After Shinku left, Byakuya looked down at Kōjin.

"I never expected that you, who were originally sealed away, would actually reappear."

"I really didn't expect this!" Bai Ya, who came to Guang Jin's side, raised his hand and removed the chains from Guang Jin's body.

Guangjin looked at Baiya with fear in his eyes and stammered, "Supreme King Fimsimum, please... spare me."

"I'm not interested in you, but that guy might be!"

"That guy?!"

Following Bai Ya's gaze, Guang Jin only saw a pair of golden eyes, one of which had a faint cross-shaped flame pattern.
