The Strange Cat from Fuuto

After retrieving the Extreme Lock Seed, Silly Orange pressed the button:

"Fruits Basket!!"

Chapter 79: Wait for me to come pick you up!

"Fruits Basket!!"

As a rousing song resounded, the plants in the Helheim Forest stirred without wind. All the trees began to sway their canopies.

The vines began to grow wildly and uncontrollably, and the number of fruits increased dramatically in an instant.

Waves of energy surged from the Helheim Forest and flew toward the top of Silly Orange's head. The rippling energy waves formed the armor parts of all the Lockseeds, including the armor parts of the Forbidden Red Apple that Miku had used, as well as the golden apples of White and Light Gold.

At the same time, Miku arrived at the edge of the open space with his knife. As soon as he appeared, he was startled to see the idiot holding the Extreme Lock Seed.

"Has Silly Orange already obtained the Extreme Lock Seed?"

Miku, having sheathed his Mo Dao, stared in disbelief at Sha Cheng, who was holding the Extreme Lockseed. The Knight Display panel on Sha Cheng's waist Driver disappeared, and a special connector with a keyhole-like design appeared on the right side of the Victory Lockseed.

He glanced coldly at the arrogant banana and then inserted the Extreme Lock into the keyhole at his waist.

"Crack!"

After insertion, a soft sound rang out, and Silly Orange twisted the lock with his right hand.

"Lock Open!"

One by one, the locks above Silly Orange's head flew down in an orderly fashion, swirling and dancing around Silly Orange.

"Ultra Arms!"

As soon as the song started, all the Lockseeds collided with the central idiot orange. With a "poof," energy waves splashed in all directions, and the energy contained in all the Knight Armor parts surged into the idiot orange's body and exploded rapidly.

"Great-Great-Great-Great General!"

Clad in silver armor, Silly Orange swung his arm, breaking free from the energy ripples that enveloped him, revealing a new form.

Her gleaming silver armor shimmered in the sunlight, and her pointed helmet was adorned with dazzlingly colorful goggles.

Various lock patterns are inlaid on the chest, and a cape hangs down from the back.

"New Armor"

Ao Jiao looked at the shimmering silver-clad Sha Cheng and scoffed, "Even if you've used new powers, you're still doomed to defeat me!"

As Aojiao transformed into a gaseous cloud, it hurtled toward Shacheng amidst surging bright yellow lightning. Shacheng's cape billowed wildly in the gale whipped up by Aojiao.

Facing the menacing Ao Jiao, Sha Cheng remained fearless, twisting the Extreme Lock around his waist, "Big Orange Pill!"

Amidst the whispers echoing in the void, the Great Orange Pill materialized out of nothing in Sha Cheng's hand.

"call..."

Amidst the raging wind, Aojiao pressed down on Shacheng. The instant the two made contact, Shacheng swung his arm to the side, and the large orange ball sword in his hand glowed with orange light, directly slicing the gaseous mass that Shacheng had transformed into in two.

Two gaseous clouds flew past on either side of Silly Orange's body. Silly Orange threw the large orange pill in his hand and twisted the Extreme Lock Seed again.

"A strange blade wheel!"

Kiwi's exclusive weapon suddenly appeared, and as soon as Silly Orange got his hands on it, he turned around and threw it out without hesitation.

"Swish, swish!"

Amidst the whistling sound of the blade wheel cutting through the air, Ao Jiao, who had just completed his clone and whose body had just solidified, watched helplessly as the blade wheel struck him, leaving a deep wound.

"Damn it, why did this guy's strength suddenly increase so much?"

Both Ao Jiao touched the knife wounds on their chests at the same time and said in unison, "This is impossible!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic!"

Miku, leaning on his knife, hid behind a tree and watched the battle between Sha Cheng and Ao Jiao. He could roughly guess where Sha Cheng got the Extreme Lock Seed.

It was probably during Bai Ya's trip to Sawame City. When Bai Ya returned, he fused the Golden Apple in his possession with his Forbidden Red Apple to create the Overlord Lockseed.

The Lockseed in his own hands contains a portion of the power of the Gold-Gold Fruit, while the Extreme Lockseed in the hands of the idiot also contains the power of the Gold-Gold Fruit.

“So that means…” Miku, stroking his chin, had a thoughtful look in his eyes: “Back then, Baiya and DJ Sagara each took a portion of the Golden Fruit.”

Having figured out the crux of the matter, Miku curled his lips into a smile. "This is quite interesting!"

"But just how strong are you now?!"

Miku, unable to contain himself, gripped the hilt of the Mo Dao tightly and loosely, a surge of fighting spirit rising from the depths of his heart.

Especially when he saw Sha Cheng beating Ao Jiao, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey!"

Just as Miku was about to rush out, a slender hand grabbed her tail: "Don't go!"

"Um?!"

As Miku turned around in confusion, Sha Cheng summoned the sword and shield armed with Apple, and with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, he forced Ao Jiao into a desperate situation.

The weapon that Ao Jiao was using for forging was inherently at a disadvantage, not to mention that Sha Cheng could use any weapon.

With a flash of dazzling light from the eyepiece, Sha Cheng manipulated the power of Helheim, and clumps of vines rapidly moved across the ground, surging towards Ao Jiao. One of Ao Jiao's clones was tightly bound by the vines, and with a thought from Sha Cheng, Ao Jiao's clone was compressed into a ball of dark red gas.

"Tsk!" Ao Jiao clicked his tongue in displeasure and summoned a part of his clone to merge into his own body. After retracting the power he had sent out, Ao Jiao also activated the power of Helheim.

In an instant, the vines on the forest floor danced wildly, and the surrounding forest was thrown into complete chaos.

The two, Aojiao and Shacheng, were locked in a fierce confrontation, and for a time, all the forest plants around them were thrown into chaos.

"what!"

With a roar, Ao Jiao unleashed all his power, overwhelming Sha Cheng in one fell swoop. But at that moment, a bright light flashed on the Extreme Lock around Sha Cheng's waist, and the plants that had just fallen into a slump surged towards Ao Jiao as if they had been given a stimulant.

Faced with the overwhelming tide of plants, Ao Jiao was completely overwhelmed. His strength was insufficient to resist these plants, and he was instantly submerged by the plant frenzy.

"Fuck!"

Azure lightning bolt struck from the sky, cleaving a gap in the raging plant tide. A red, gaseous cloud flew in from afar, engulfed the proud banana tree, and carried it away.

"Humph!"

Looking at the rescued Aojiao Shacheng, he snorted coldly, stopped manipulating the plants, and his cloak fell to the ground.

After staring at the woodland he had utterly destroyed for a long time, Silly Orange turned and left.

At the edge of the woods, Miku clicked his tongue in annoyance as he watched the departing Silly Orange, then turned around and ruffled the soft, long hair of the little girl behind him.

"Why are you meddling in this?"

"But now is not the time for you to make a move!" Sugar smoothed her messy hair and looked at Miku with a huff. "The current situation is just a battle between the two of them. Rushing out rashly will expose your identity."

"You seem to know a lot now!"

Miku cupped Sugar's face in his hands and rubbed it back and forth. Sugar's eyes widened and her hands were on her hips.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around!"

Miku, having released her grip, crouched down to be at eye level with Sugar. "Why did you accept the Golden Fruit?"

“Because I want you to stay by my side!” Sugar rubbed her slightly sore cheeks and said with a trace of sorrow, “When I was at my most desperate, you pulled me out of the abyss where I could never see the light of day. To me, you are the only ray of light in my life. I want to keep you and don’t want to go back to those dark days.”

"You!"

Miku shook his head and sighed, then ruffled Sugar's hair again. Sugar didn't continue talking about these things. Instead, she opened a spatial rift, on the other side of which was a cliff.

"I'm here to tell you something!"

"what?"

"Come with me!" Sugar took Miku's large hand and led him into the spatial rift. As Miku crossed the rift, he heard a cacophony of shouts and battle cries.

"This is..."

Miku quickly walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. He could only see a wide valley below the cliff, where two sides were fighting.

Miku's two most familiar buddies were also in the midst of the battle.

"This is a world that foreshadows the future!"

"What's going to happen in the future?" Miku turned to look at Sugar, but DJ Sagara suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "That's right, everything that happens in this world is what will happen in the future!"

"Besides, you shouldn't have come here."

DJ Sagara, who pointed at Miku, had a very serious expression. Miku's arrival in this world as a contender was itself a violation of the rules.

Sugar, however, remained unmoved and said, "Isn't that woman also frequently going to see her candidates?"

"Isn't that kind of interference a violation of the rules?"

Seeing Sugar's cold face, DJ Sagara awkwardly said, "Well..."

"As an observer, you should just stay and watch quietly, and stop saying these irrelevant things!"

After glaring at DJ Sagara, Sugar came to Miku's side, took the latter's hand and pointed downwards: "The battle between Kouta Kazuha and Kaito Kamen Rider is still undecided. You'd better not make a move and reveal your identity at this time."

"Wow, you little rascal, you're starting to worry about me now!"

Miku chuckled and patted Sugar's hair, watching the battle below the valley floor. The fight between Silly Orange and Proud Banana had reached a stalemate, with soldiers on both sides nearly wiped out in the fierce fighting. Proud Banana and Silly Orange were locked in a tangled battle, locked in endless combat.

"If that's what the two of them said, then where am I?"

When Miku, who had begun his search, saw him, his pupils contracted. The strange man was wrapped in a star-studded cloak and floated in mid-air, with fourteen knights behind him, their heads bowed.

"I see..."

Miku, having grasped the situation, grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth. "I understand!"

"Overlord, you'd better leave this world as soon as possible. After all, the longer you stay, the stronger the interference with your future will become."

"Ok!"

Miku nodded, pulled his hand away from Sugar's, patted her hair, and said with a gentle smile, "Thank you. I understand now what I need to do!"

"Yes, I'm glad I could help you!"

"Humph!"

After ruffling Sugar's hair, Miku turned and walked towards the spatial rift he had come from. He paused before the rift, calling out, "Sugar!"
