The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"I never thought I'd be able to come back here again!"

The old man gazed at the dark underground space before him, his eyes filled with emotion. Shroud silently held his hand, and the two looked at each other, everything understood without words.

It was here that their family's fate was changed, leading them down different paths and parting ways. It was also here that the Museum, which once ruled the entire underground world of Fengdu, was born.

A series of miracles have been born here!

This time, they came here to fulfill a gift, a gift that could potentially save the world.

“Begin, Wakana!” The old man looked at the Earth Well, which was emitting a dim light: “Now only you can reactivate the Earth Well and then create Gaia Progreesor from the Earth’s gift—the memory crystal.”

"Yes, Father!"

Wakana arrived at the Well of the Earth, spread her arms, and raised her head. In an instant, her spirit entered the Earth Museum, and as she quickly browsed the relevant information, Wakana's beautiful eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.

"What's wrong, Wakana?!"

Saeko noticed her sister's odd behavior and asked her what was wrong. Wakana opened her eyes, her gaze revealing a stream of data. Slightly suppressing her emotions, Wakana bit her nails and said, "There's nothing wrong."

After shaking her head, Wakana's eyes showed a hint of doubt. "Could it be that I'm just imagining things?"

"Let's focus on the present and talk about the specifics later!"

Just as Wakana was making up her mind, the old man urged her:

"Alright, stop dawdling and get to work, or Miku will notice!"

The old man took the box from Saeko's hand, opened it, and inside was a prismatic green gemstone. A liquid-like halo flowed slightly within the gemstone, and the surface light expanded and contracted, making it seem as if the gemstone was breathing, as if it had a life of its own.

Wakana took the memory crystal from the old man, gazed at it deeply, then held it in her arms and activated her ultimate form power in the next second.

This transformation is different from the previous ones. In the past, Saeko was filled with a dark force field and a violent aura, but this time Wakana is like a celestial maiden descending to earth, filled with a holy aura and surrounded by a hazy halo.

"what!!"

With a soft murmur, Wakana pushed the rhomboid memory crystal she was holding directly above the opening of the Earth Well, simultaneously activating the power of the Earth Well. The power of the Earth Well and Wakana resonated with each other, and a surge of data flow quickly appeared at the opening of the well.

"Shh!"

Bathed in the data stream, the memory crystals melted rapidly, like sugar cubes on a hot plate, changing their shape and properties according to Wakana's wishes.

"Father, why did you go to such lengths to create a Gaia Progreesor?" Saeko asked curiously. "Was it for my little darling?"

"No, it's for another child!"

"You mean Miku's eldest son?"

"Correct!"

The old man looked at Wakana, who was modifying the memory crystal, and said, "Of Miku's two children, the one who needs Gaia Progreesor the most right now is his eldest son!"

"But why exactly?"

"Because of the END Memory!" A hint of fear appeared in the old man's eyes: "That's a forbidden memory that exists in legends, something that shouldn't exist in this world!"

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Saeko asked dismissively. The old man shook his head. "It's not exaggerated, it's that we take it seriously!"

"When I discovered the Well of Earth, I investigated the historical documents related to it. According to the records, the END Memory only existed in legends, and its last appearance led to the extinction of a civilization."

"If this memory is really as dangerous as you say, then why give Gaia Progreesor to that little guy?"

"Shouldn't we be trying to limit his power?"

"That's what they say, but in reality, the END Memory needs a switch that can control its own power!" The old man looked at the slowly forming Gaia Progreesor and said, "And Gaia Progreesor is that switch. After fusing with Gaia Progreesor, the little guy might be able to freely control that power, or even if he can't, he can at least block it unilaterally."

Therefore, we must give this to him so that he can freely control the power of that memory, and only then will this world have a glimmer of hope!

"But given the current situation, is there really any hope for this world?"

"We have to try. If we do nothing and just stand by and watch, then even this last glimmer of hope will disappear!"

The wise old man smiled as he looked at the nearly completed Gaia Progreesor, but there was a hint of reluctance in his smile.

He wasn't entirely sure whether Gaia Progreesor would play a crucial role after fusing into the little guy's body, but he had to try; he couldn't just sit and wait for death.

"I hope it will succeed!"

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

Two days later.

Delan Castle Dragon, Castle Keep.

"Waaah..."

The older cub, nestled close to the little one, let out a low whimper; the little one's eyes still held a heartbreaking quality.

But the two of them had no room to resist. Facing their closest relatives, they not only could not resist, but were also powerless to resist.

"Shh!"

The air suddenly split open, and a zipper-like spatial rift appeared in front of the two little ones.

"Have you figured it out, son?"

Miku looked down at his son through the spatial rift, while Iggy lay at his feet and opened his eyes.

Under their father's watchful gaze, the two little ones felt a terror they had never experienced before. The little one shakily raised his head, gritted his teeth, and stared at Miku without uttering a word.

"Oh, it seems you still haven't grasped reality!"

Noticing the stubborn look in his son's eyes, Miku scoffed, "But you have no choice but to obey all of this!"

As they spoke, Miku and Iggy each threw out their own memory modules.

"END!"

"catastrophe!"

With two low, simultaneous ringing sounds, the drivers appeared on the chests of both the little guy and the big kid, and the memory, like weary birds returning to their nests, eagerly squeezed into their bodies through the drivers.

"what!!!"

"Ow!!!"

Two mournful howls, one after the other, rang out, and filthy black mud surged from the void, enveloping both creatures. When the black mud dissipated, the Beast of End and the Beast of Calamity appeared inside the Sky Keep.

"Go, go and destroy all living things you see!"

Miku, having opened another spatial rift, pointed to the opposite side and said, "This is the first target you intend to destroy!"

Through the crack in space, one could vaguely make out the words "Kuruma Driving License Test Center".

After transforming, the little guy is like a poor prisoner trapped in a secret room, only able to perceive the outside world through a narrow skylight, but unable to control his own body's every move. The one who truly controls his body is that memory that has been deeply influenced by Miku.

The little guy, who could only see and hear, watched helplessly as his body slowly and steadily moved towards the spatial rift step by step, following Miku's commands.

"Stop!"

"Stop going any further!"

"Stop right now!!!"

The little guy with black eyes and white pupils led the giant cub, who had transformed into a calamity beast, through the spatial rift and arrived at the entrance of the examination hall.

And he slowly raised his hand.

A grayish-white aura surged wildly in the little creature's hands, while the larger cub, wearing a grayish-white bone mask, silently opened its mouth, gathering violent energy fluctuations in its throat.

The next moment, two energy vortexes silently wiped the Kuruma driving test site off the ground, obliterating everything, including the creatures inside, into tiny particles.

Underground examination area.

At the Drive base.

The previously bright lights suddenly dimmed, the backup generator began to rumble, and the power was replenished.

The lights flickered on.

"What happened?"

Nishijou jumped up from the sofa, while Sawakami Suzuna stood up and walked to the door. "It's nothing, I guess something damaged the circuitry upstairs, that's why the power suddenly went out!"

After locking the door, Suzuna Sawakami smiled and reassured everyone, "But don't worry, the Drive base is dozens of meters underground, the people up there won't be able to find us!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the ceiling of the Drive base silently turned into gray dust that scattered all over the ground, and two pairs of merciless eyes appeared above everyone's eyes.

Chapter 127: A Beam of Light in the Boundless Darkness!

"Whoosh..."

The sound of sand being kicked up and scattered like when building a sandcastle echoed throughout the Drive site. Many people present felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity with this sound, as everyone had the experience of building sandcastles during their childhood.

But at this moment, no one was reminiscing about the joys of childhood; all they felt was fear of death and dread of the two demonic figures overhead.

"How did they find this place?!" Nishijou's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed clearly. Sawakami Suzuna muttered to herself, "That shouldn't be possible. We're tens of meters above the ground. How did they find us?"

The white pupils within the black irises were devoid of any emotion, only an empty void. Through that narrow "skylight," the little guy saw Sawakami Suzuna and the others.

"Run, Aunt Suzuna!"

"Run away!"

"Otherwise you will die!"

The little guy, who was screaming wildly, could do nothing but watch helplessly as he slowly approached Sawakami Suzuna and the others.

The eldest son naturally followed closely behind.

The Beast of End and the Beast of Calamity travel together, never to be separated!

"asshole!"

Tiger Assistant, standing nearby, grabbed the automatic rifle beside him and skillfully released the safety. "Don't look down on me!"

Tiger, pulling the trigger, felt the familiar recoil hit his shoulder, and the muzzle spewed out a burst of intense flames. Amidst the burst of fire, the lipstick bullets quickly flew towards the little guy.

But an astonishing scene unfolded: as soon as the bullets approached the little guy, they slowed down like insects stuck with pine resin, and the lipstick-red bullets rapidly turned grayish-white.

A burst of bullets didn't even touch the little guy before it weathered into dust, as if it had gone through thousands of years.

The little guy's empty eyes fixed on Hu Fu, raised a finger and shot out a wisp of grayish-white energy, which turned Hu Fu into a pile of dust.

"what!!!"
