The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Tenkuji-no-Zun!"

..........

One-bedroom apartment.

Miku and the First Emperor's Soul appeared out of thin air. The First Emperor's Soul swayed and floated to the side to rest, while Miku used its tail to restrain the sleeping Mino and carried him away from the room.

"Well...."

Mino, lying on the cold floor, rubbed his eyes and reluctantly asked, "Dad, what are you up to now?"

"You're disturbing my sweet dreams in the middle of the night!"

Just then, a cool breeze blew by, and Mino shivered, her disdain intensifying.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Despite saying that, Miku, who slapped Mino on the head, still spat out several fireballs that floated around him to keep him warm.

"Didn't you want the power of Knight Mode?" Miku looked at the extremely dark horizon, leaving Mino with only his back to her, and said, "I'll give you a chance!"

Upon hearing the mention of Knight Mode, Mino immediately perked up, her ears pricking up as the kitten excitedly asked, "Will it really give me the power of Knight Mode?"

"Of course, but I want to see your resolve!"

Miku suddenly turned his head 180 degrees, and a flaming cross quietly appeared in the flickering light of his right eye.

Startled by Miku's actions, Mino instinctively arched his back and raised his tail, but realizing that his father was playing a joke on him, he couldn't help but puff out his cheeks: "What are your conditions this time?!"

"It's simple. At dawn, I want you to go and kill someone!"

"Besides Tenkuji Takeru, whom that woman chose, I want you to kill them all!"

"That's all!?"

"Heh, don't underestimate anyone, you brat!"

Miku slowly turned around and slapped Mino on the head: "Haven't you suffered enough lately?"

"I see!"

Feeling Miku's paws pressing against his head, Mino's tail slowly began to twist.

"Then let's get ready!"

"it is good!"

A ray of sunlight shone from the sky, revealing the outline of a blazing sun that instantly dispelled the darkness and brought light.

"The game has begun, son. I'm looking forward to your performance!"

"Okay, Dad!"

Mino, now in his freakish form, tossed his long hair behind his back, a strange glint flashing in his eyes: "I'll show you my resolve!"

At the same time, he thought to himself, "This will prove that I'm no worse than your son!"

...........

As dawn broke, several streaks of light flew out from the shattered world of the Eye Demon, leaving faint trails in the sky and falling on various corners of the city.

On the rooftop of a certain building, a pair of eyes beneath a hood were fixed on a streak of light.

"This time I won't give you any more chances!"

"Half-body!"

Chapter 47: Mino's Actions

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Various colored streams of light fell from the sky, covering the entire city in the blink of an eye, landing in every corner of Lutang City.

Ninety-nine eggshell-like protective shields have been erected within the city, each containing an Eye Soul that protects the people closest to it.

As for why there are ninety-nine, it's because the hundredth Eye Soul: the First Emperor's Soul did not participate. Instead, it stayed quietly with Miku, observing from the sidelines.

As all the lights disappeared into the city of Lutang, Miku, who was sitting on the rooftop, watched Mino leave.

Mino vanished in an instant, leaving not even a trace. Miku, however, was looking at a certain spot in the void within the city, where Mino, who had already entered the realm of supersonic speed, was.

"I hope you can give me a little surprise, even though you're not my biological son!"

"But I also have high hopes for you. After all, you are the successor and cannot be content with the status quo. Now let me see your resolve!"

Glancing at the giant, bloodshot eye in the sky, Miku opened a spatial rift and left the rooftop.

One-bedroom apartment.

As soon as Miku stepped out of the spatial rift, the television program immediately switched to a live broadcast of Lutang City.

"You just let that little guy out like that?"

The First Emperor's soul landed on the kotatsu table, with nine black dragons coiled around him. Miku shrank into the kotatsu: "Children should be let out to see the world and have some adventures!"

"Otherwise, we'll just be stuck in our ways, like frogs in a well with a limited view of the sky!"

"Don't rush to save the day later!"

"It's not my turn to save the day, don't worry!" Miku glanced at Iggy and smiled. Iggy snorted, lay down on the carpet, rested his head on his paws, and stared intently at the TV with wide eyes.

Rikudo City, Shewanggao 3-chome.

"Is this the Eye Soul's protective shield?"

A middle-aged man with a large beard, dressed in a brown-green military uniform, stood in front of a domain with its eyes wide open, his palm pressed against the boundary of the domain, which was only a thin layer of light.

Inside the realm, an eye-wielding spirit dressed in women's clothing protected two children, glaring angrily at the bearded man outside.

The bearded man, oblivious to the woman's gaze, pressed down hard with his palm, only to find it felt like pressing against a layer of rubber—extremely elastic, and its resilience was astonishing.

"Its defensive capabilities are outstanding, but they're not enough for me!"

"As a Legion-style player, you're the type of enemy I can deal with the easiest!"

The bearded man took a rusty dagger from his military uniform, and in his other hand he held an Eye Soul, which was folded under the dagger. He pressed the Eye Soul with his thumb.

"Crack!"

The eye spirit suddenly opened its eyes, and the dagger was directly sucked into the eye spirit's open eyes.

"Shh!"

The eye spirit that absorbed the dagger underwent a transformation, giving birth to several fist-sized cloaked eye demons, each holding a dagger in its hand.

"Go, puncture this plastic wrap!"

The bearded man grinned and pointed to the boundary of the domain in front of him. A full fifty small bewitching demons let out low shrieks and thrust their daggers toward the boundary of the domain.

"call out!"

A strange shriek sounded from behind the bearded man. His ears twitched slightly, and he turned around in confusion: "What strange sound?"

But as soon as he turned around, it was as if he had been hit head-on by an out-of-control truck. His originally strong body was torn to pieces, and blood splattered everywhere, like ink spilled on rice paper, covering the boundaries of the domain.

His remaining body parts were turned into a paste and evenly spread on the border shield.

Before the bearded man's body had even been completely destroyed, the small eye demons he had summoned vanished one after another, a rusty dagger fell to the ground, and an eye spirit exploded out of thin air.

"The first one!"

Mino, having revealed her form, glanced at the flesh and blood on the boundary shield of the domain, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

"continue!"

With a slight movement, Mino vanished into thin air again, heading to the next location.

Although Mino entered a super-high-speed state, a faint white-gold line could still be vaguely seen when looking down at Lutang City from high altitude.

"boom!"

A thunderous roar echoed through Lutang City, and a vibrant flower of blood bloomed on a street in Lutang City.

"The sixth one!"

Mino reappeared, his face expressionless, but a hint of barely perceptible excitement and fervor flickered in his eyes.

Miku, inside the one-bedroom apartment, clearly caught this subtle shift in emotion through the television. The cat, slapping its head, sighed helplessly, "Iggy, go over there and keep an eye on this little brat for me. He's only killed six, and he's already gone crazy!"

"Waaah..."

Ichi responded and stood up, leaving the room through the spatial rift opened by Miku.

"Kids will be kids, they're too easily swayed by their emotions!"

The First Emperor's soul floated up unsteadily, and behind him, a whoosh of wind flashed as Minnie pounced down from above.

The First Emperor's soul quickly rose to a greater height, "Hehehe, little girl, you can't catch me now!"

"Meow!!"

With a dissatisfied howl, Minnie leaped up again, pouncing towards the First Emperor's soul. Minnie twirled in the air, as light and agile as a feather blown by the wind.

"Tsk, you were just saying my son was childish, but you're starting to become a goofball yourself!" Miku curled his lip, dismissing the childlike innocence that Shi Huang Hun was displaying, but his expression still revealed a hint of agreement with Shi Huang Hun's words.

"Indeed, children are too easily controlled by their emotions. Whether you can gain my approval depends on this one time, Mino!"

...........

"Tap tap tap tap..."

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the empty street as a figure swiftly swept across the entire street, heading towards a certain direction.

After Ai chose to launch a proactive attack on the human world and devoured most of the living beings in the city, the population of Lutang City had been reduced to seven or eight tenths, with the remaining three or four tenths barely surviving under the protection of many Eye Souls.

The entire city of Lutang is now almost a ghost town.

Before long, the owner of the footsteps arrived at the lobby of a department store, where more than a dozen chosen ones from the world of the Eye Demons had already gathered.

"Hey, hey, hey, I've only just started the operation, how come a summons has been issued all of a sudden?!"

As soon as the director entered the hall, he began to complain and grumble.

Igor, who was at the head of the group, slowly wiped his goggles. "It's because the Queen has given me another new order."
