The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Feeling extremely confused, the little guy tentatively lifted his right foot, and a familiar feeling of restraint arose.

The little guy, half-submerged in the mud, was unable to escape the black mud's grasp. In fact, the mud was constantly eroding him, pulling him into an even darker darkness.

"Glug glug..."

The bubbling black mud suddenly burst open, splashing droplets onto the little guy's body and merging into the black mud binding him.

"No, I'm too deeply involved!"

"I can't break free at all!"

"But..." The little guy immediately mustered all his strength again, gritted his teeth, and began to struggle frantically. "Mom said she believes I can do it!"

"That...."

"I can do it!"

"what!!"

The little guy, who had cried out, struggled to pull himself upwards, which made the binding of the black mud even heavier.

"I can do it!"

"Absolutely!"

The little guy, whose pupils were flashing with an unusual light, suddenly had a spot of light, like the morning star, on his chest. As he continued to fight against the black mud, the light became brighter and brighter.

"what!!!!"

Amidst the shouts, a sudden flash of light dispelled the darkness, and the little creature, freed from the black mud's restraints, burst into flames as bright as the sun.

The flames grew fiercer and fiercer, and in the intense light, the little guy's body slowly rose upwards, beginning to dispel the darkness in his inner world.

Meanwhile, in the realm of the gods.

"Shh!"

Miku suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing like lightning in the air, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips as he rested his chin on his hand.

Has it started?

"very good!"

"Since you've started, don't stop. Break free from the shackles I've placed upon you, emerge from my shadow and be reborn as a new sun!"

"I'll always be here waiting for you, my..."

"...Son!"

Iggy also opened his eyes, gazing at the ground of the divine realm, as if he saw the big cub protecting the little guy.

"Ah!"

With a soft chuckle, Iggy adjusted his position and lay down again. He and Miku would wait for the two little guys to raise their rebellious flags against them.

........

Kuru-jian.

"Something has changed!"

Wakana, who was staring intently at the little family, exclaimed in surprise. The old man and Saeko quickly looked closely and saw that a crack had suddenly appeared in the center of the black mask with three white lines covering the little boy's face.

Although it was extremely small, the three of them could still see it.

"Click..."

With another clear sound, the crack rapidly expanded into a wide fissure, which quickly spread across the little guy's entire mask like a spider web.

The little guy's eyelids trembled slightly, which only intensified the disintegration of the mask on his face.

"Crack!"

An irregular crack started from the center of the forehead and stretched across the entire mask of the little guy, like a thunderbolt tearing the sky apart.

"Shh!"

The little guy, who had just opened his eyes, suddenly raised his arm and pressed it against his face.

"Crack!"

With a forceful squeeze of its five fingers, the little guy crushed the entire mask, and the armor on its body quickly peeled off, revealing a new body inside.

"This is..."

The old man looked at the little guy and asked Wakana with some uncertainty. Wakana nodded solemnly: "That's right, it's the power of Xtreme!"

"He has now fully mastered the power of Xtreme and become a new being!"

"Huh?"

The older cub, instinctively feeling panicked, nervously watched the little guy who was changing, but when he sensed the increasingly powerful aura emanating from him, he felt relieved.

"boom!"

A surge of energy suddenly exploded from the little guy's body, creating a powerful shockwave that swept outwards, carrying dust and gravel in all directions.

"Well!"

The old man gave a soft exclamation: "Quite impressive!"

"He's a real freak, just like Miku, so strong it's despair-inducing!" Saeko clicked her tongue in amazement, while Wakana, sensing the intense yet peaceful aura emanating from the little guy, smiled and said, "Those from our family are naturally excellent in every way!"

"You're right!"

On the other side, the little guy looked at his new body in confusion. He could feel the power surging within him like magma, and he could also feel the obedience and submission of the previously violent and arrogant END memory.

"Congratulations on gaining new power!" the old man said with a smile. The little guy looked at them and asked, "You are... the old man?"

"Ha ha..."

The old man chuckled, "Now that you've fully awakened, our mission is complete. Go, go achieve your goal, go do what you must do!"

"It's time for us to leave!"

With a flick of his cloak, the old man led Wakana and Saeko slowly into the mud. Wakana looked at the little girl with complicated emotions and whispered, "Good luck!"

"Ok!"

The father and his two daughters, who had sunk into the mud and disappeared, left only the little one and the eldest standing on the streets of Kuru. The eldest looked at the little one in confusion; he was completely different from before. If his aura hadn't remained unchanged, the eldest would have definitely attacked him.

The black eyes turned into dark gold, and the pale pupils transformed into shimmering platinum.

His long black hair cascaded down his back to his waist, and the mask, which was originally black with white patterns, had become the same color as his pupils. It was dark gold with intricate and noble white gold stripes, and a prismatic gemstone like obsidian was set between his eyebrows.

The hideous bio-armor had completely fallen off, replaced by massive muscles. A white mist-like coat was worn by the little guy, hanging from his shoulders to his feet. The wisps of white mist swirled around him, giving him a cold and indifferent feeling.

The black claws began to show crack-like black lines extending from the wrists to the forearms, and the same was true for the legs.

"I feel that I am very different now than before!"

The little guy, with his five fingers clenched into a fist, felt the surging power within his body. Looking at the older cub, the older cub still had that dignified appearance of a calamity wolf.

Moreover, his eyes were cloudy and devoid of any intelligence; everything he had done before was purely instinctive.

"Poor little bastard!"

The little guy pressed a paw onto the big cub's gray mask. As the force spread, the big cub took a few steps back, shaking its head uncomfortably.

But after a few minutes, the cub, whose eyes had cleared, broke free from the control of the Calamity Memory.

After doing all this, the little guy turned around and returned to Drive base. Standing silently in front of a few piles of ashes by the wall, the little guy's eyes were filled with infinite sadness.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Suzuna!"

"I'm sorry, Xicheng-gege!"

"I'm sorry, Section Chief!"

"Ugh..."

The older cub nuzzled the little one and gave it two comforting calls. The little one wiped its eyes and then patted the older cub's head.

"Hey, big one!"

"Ok?"

"I'm going to do something very dangerous next, do you want to come along?"

Faced with the little one's question, the older child nodded without hesitation.

and!

I'll follow you wherever you go!

Even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, I will follow in your footsteps!

"Ok!"

After ruffling the older child's head, the little guy looked up at the gloomy sky and murmured to himself, "Let's go then!"

"Let us..."

"Raise the flag of rebellion against my noble father!"

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

In the realm of the gods, Miku opened his eyes again. This time, he was no longer as lazy as before; instead, his entire body was filled with a terrifying aura.

Is it finally coming?

"Awoo?"

"Go guard the gate, after all, you also need to properly teach your kid!"

Iggy nodded, rose from the throne, and headed towards the door.

Behind Miku, a flaming cross rose up, and as the flames rolled on the cross, the same light shone all over the world. Then, like weary birds returning to their nests, these lights crossed space and entered the Tower of Babel.

"The stage is set up, and the script has reached its final climax!"

"Don't let me down, son!"
