The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"Let me tell you, my ability comes from the power of memory, and exploring a person's memories is incredibly simple!"

"You're being unreasonable, daring to threaten me now!"

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Denton, now only a head, stared in horror at the septic tank directly below him. The pungent stench made him blink repeatedly, not to mention the overwhelming smell that assaulted his senses and rushed straight to his brain.

"stop!"

What do you want to do?

"I'll tell you everything!"

Denton stared in horror at the septic tank below, while Miku transformed into his monstrous form. "Too late!"

The cat, having grabbed Denton's head, used its abilities to forcibly search Denton's memories.

The entirety of Denton's life, spanning over a century, was exposed to the cat's gaze.

A moment later, the cat, with a hint of understanding in its eyes, reinforced the seal again and even healed the mental shock and brain trauma that Denton had suffered from having his memories forcibly searched.

"I..." Denton, whose vision was still filled with the spinning stars, stammered, "What...what just happened?"

"Guess!"

Miku gave Denton a chilling, terrifying smile and casually pulled out a few golden threads.

"Starting today, you no longer have to endure the pain of being kicked around like a ball!"

Miku, having resealed Denton's head, wrapped it with his own power, leaving only his facial features exposed.

"you're free!"

After saying that, Miku casually tossed Denton into the septic tank.

Denton screamed in terror, "No! Spare me!"

"I don't want to be thrown in there!!"

"Pfft!"

Denton sank into the filthy excrement, slowly sinking. He tried to talk to Miku, but swallowed a large clump of excrement as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Spend the rest of your life here in peace, Denton!"

With a casual swipe, several spatial rifts opened silently, from which sewage gushed out and poured into the septic tank.

Not only that, Miku also reinforced the structure of the septic tank, ensuring that it will not rot even after a hundred years of use.

"Ah!"

Miku sneered and turned to disappear into the biogas plant.

After its reconstruction in Lutang City, the biogas plant became the subject of a strange urban legend.

Legend has it that every night a rough male voice cries out for help from the septic tank. If there is no response, it will berate a certain unruly cat. And any feline that approaches the septic tank will be dragged down into the sewage by an unknown force and disappear.

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

The rooftop of the building.

Miku reappeared here, and as he was used to looking out from a high place, he looked down at the ruined city. Many outsiders poured into the city, who had come from Kyoto to help with the disaster relief.

They had been waiting in Lutang City for months, and finally the moment they were able to enter had arrived.

As Miku watched the helicopters darting back and forth through the city, he clicked his tongue and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

"I never imagined that a momentary lapse in judgment would unintentionally cultivate such a monster!"

After searching Denton's memories, Miku learned about his cyborg project.

To put it bluntly, the harsh environment of the Eye Demon world is unsuitable for the survival of normal people, and Adnis's Eye Soul Project will, for unknown reasons, turn the physical bodies of humans existing in the sealed chambers to ashes.

After discovering this scene, Denton began arguing with Adnis, and he argued that a new human should be created. Adnis then used the power of the Great Eye to banish him.

Even after being exiled, Denton never gave up on this idea. The idea of ​​transforming humans drove him mad and became his obsession.

So, using his near-immortal body and the materials he could gather, he began to cultivate his own race.

However, there were too many failures.

The only successful case—Makoto Fukami—was also taken away by Daigo Fukami, and Denton called Makoto Fukami the child of miracles.

But miracles cannot be replicated. Following the creative methods of Makoto Shinkai, Denton created some barely passable clones.

While creating these clones, Denton conceived a crazy worm plan. He regarded the Son of Miracles as his greatest masterpiece and left a contingency plan in the bodies of his many qualified candidates.

This allows them to devour each other, and the resulting fusion will compete with Makoto for the title of Child of Miracles.

The ultimate winner will become the Adam of the Eye Demon world, and will unite with the female Eve created by Denton to give birth to a new race.

But this bastard actually dragged the white ghost boy, who was lost on the line between life and death, into his research institute and made him take the place of an experimental subject.

Although it is unknown how White Ghost Boy knew about this plan, he has now clearly become the new Child of Miracles and possesses great power.

Miku could guess what he was going to do next. He'd probably seek revenge on Blackie, then devour him to become the sole Tenkuji-no-Mikoto.

As for himself, this kid probably wouldn't dare to provoke him. Although he became the Child of Miracles, his power is still beyond even Iggy's ability to defeat.

Naturally, he wouldn't provoke me, but if I let this kid do as he pleases, then the cross might lose a chief knight.

"We have to think of a way!" Miku said, stroking the fangs on his chin with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

A moment later, a glint of light flashed in Miku's eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I've got it! If Denton can play the 'poisonous insect' game, why can't I?"

"It's just that there are fewer of them. Let the white devils and black devils fight each other for the title of Tenkuji-sama. Whoever evolves first will be the true Tenkuji-sama!"

"And I'm guaranteed to make a profit, since either one will become my fuel!"

Having thought this through, Miku made up his mind: he would make the two bastards fight each other to fight for their last chance to survive.

"Then, the first step is to notify them!"

Miku stepped off the rooftop and disappeared into thin air.

Big Sky Temple.

The dusty signboard was sprayed with water, and a rag was pressed against it to slowly wipe it clean.

The black-haired boy, climbing the ladder, wiped the plaque; he had been back at the Great Sky Temple for some time now.

Accompanying him was a girl named Lily; he hadn't actually fought the Eye Soul back then.

Instead, at Lily's urging, he gave up the idea of ​​fighting and returned to the Great Sky Temple.

Moreover, the black kid who listened to Lily's thoughts at all times felt as if he had touched something. The opportunity for evolution that Miku mentioned was just one invisible and intangible membrane away from him.

As the black-haired boy was wiping the signboard, his vision blurred, and the signboard in front of him vanished, along with his disappearance from the entrance of the Great Sky Temple.

All that was left was a rag that had fallen to the ground, leaving a large water stain.

"Respect!"

Lily, who was carrying a bucket of water, saw the rag in front of the door and asked in confusion, "Huh, where is everyone?"

"That's strange, weren't we supposed to be cleaning?"

"It's amazing!"

Lily picked up the rag and returned to the temple.

Chapter 72: Who is the real Tenkuuji-sama? You decide for yourselves!

The chaotic sky emitted a white glow, and a few dim stars twinkled at the far end of the sky.

Beneath the sky lies an endless expanse of green grassland.

When the wind sweeps across the grassland, the swaying grass transforms into green waves.

Blackie, with his sleeves rolled up to reveal two muscular forearms, looked around blankly. He was supposed to be sweeping the Great Sky Temple.

But suddenly, his vision blurred and he found himself in this nameless place.

The breeze sweeping between heaven and earth suddenly intensified, and the black-haired boy, whose eyes were blinded by the wind, instinctively raised his hand to cover his face.

"I never expected to see you here!"

Words tinged with surprise and a hint of murderous intent reached Blackie's ears. Blackie, who had lowered his arm, saw Whiteie, who only had one right eye.

"You are...."

Seeing the white-haired boy staring at Cheng Ge's face, the black-haired boy narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You should have been dead, why are you...?"

"Hehehe....Hahahaha...."

Suddenly bursting into laughter, White Ghost Boy clutched his stomach and bent over: "As expected of you, you saw through my true identity at a glance."

"That's amazing!"

The white-haired boy, who had stopped laughing, clapped his hands. "Just as I thought, no matter what I look like, you will always be able to recognize me."

"Should we call this an unbreakable thread of fate, or a karmic entanglement between us?"

"Let's stop this acting. We're already at each other's throats!" The black guy raised his hand to stop the white guy and said, "Stop pretending. You actually want to kill me."

"That's right, I really want to kill you, skin you, cut your flesh, bleed you, remove your bones, and then grind you to dust bit by bit!"

"Take back everything that is rightfully mine!"

"Name, family, friends, future, everything, everything!"

"Everything that belongs to you?"

With a hint of disgust in his eyes, the young black man said decisively, "No, nothing belongs to you!"

"You are nothing more than a part of my soul, and the most useless part at that."

"You have no right to say these things, let alone kill your mother. You are not worthy of the name Tenkuji Takeru!"

"I'm not qualified?"
