Where is the report button?
"Quickly, find a way to restore Miss Huang Quan's sanity!"
In this black and white world where time seemed to stand still and all things were silent, Himeko's clear and anxious shout instantly snapped Hoshi out of her daze.
"Super Transformation!"
Xing immediately woke up as the adorable bear tried to shout out cool lines and strike a classic pose.
Unfortunately, she was buried deep beneath the mountain of chips, with only her head able to move freely; she was completely unable to perform any actions.
But that didn't stop her from shouting with great enthusiasm.
With a dazzling burst of light, the tall, slender figure vanished instantly, replaced by a blue and white cartoon cat with short, fluffy fur.
Star Tom, reporting for duty!
However, due to the sudden shrinkage of his body, the mountain of chips that had been barely maintaining balance instantly lost its support.
Splash!
"Meow!?"
Countless heavy chips rained down on him.
Every chip hits Star Tom's cat head precisely, like hammering a nail.
Duang! Duang! Duang!
She frantically tried to escape, her short legs moving incredibly fast, but like a silly goose, she only ran in a straight line, perfectly catching every falling chip with her head.
Finally, with a muffled thud, the entire cat was smashed into a round, blue and white stool.
The limbs turned into short stool legs, and the facial features were imprinted on the surface of the stool.
March 7th: "..."
Haunted Rabbit: "..."
The two girls, who had just regained their senses, had their faces contorted again by this scene, their expressions simultaneously transforming into those of an old person, a subway, and a cell phone.jpg
Haitu looked at the devastating Void Commander over there, and then at Cat Star, which had turned into a low stool.
This guy... isn't his cheating even more outrageous than that one?!
Star Tom, now a low stool, didn't give up. She shuffled along the four stool legs, her tiny, nimble steps like a crab's, slipping out of the chip ruins in an incredibly bizarre, sideways movement.
Her strides were small, yet she displayed a speed that defied all logic, running towards the Yellow Springs in a flash.
then……
Duang~!
With a muffled thud, accompanied by a cartoonish effect of stars appearing before his eyes, Star Tom, now back to normal, seemed to have crashed into a completely transparent wall, instantly turning back into a thin cat pancake.
"Meow?"
She was dizzy when she was suddenly pulled off the invisible wall with a pop, scratched her head with her little paws in confusion, and made a puzzled sound.
What is it?
She stretched out her furry paw and cautiously reached forward.
A cold, smooth, and completely invisible wall blocked the way—the boundary between nothingness and existence.
At this moment, the Yellow Springs seem to be within reach, but in reality, like the Sky and Sand Gold, it lies within the invisible boundary of nothingness.
[Behold the power of my star core spinning a million horsepower—Cat Punch!]
Star Tom clearly didn't believe in superstition.
She first jumped around on the spot a few times with great seriousness, then swung a few punches in the air like a boxer, making her muscles bulge half a cat's height. Then she clenched her four fingers into a fist and threw out a series of cat-like punches.
"Awooo!!!"
A raw, heart-wrenching scream echoed through the sky.
Xing's cat paws swelled and enlarged rapidly at a visible speed, like an overinflated red rubber glove.
She was in so much pain that she jumped up and down frantically, clutching her injured paw and blowing on it desperately, tears welling up in her eyes.
[I can't crack it... what should I do?]
Xing scratched her fluffy head with her little paws in distress.
While her cat form possesses some strange and unusual abilities, in terms of pure strength, it is indeed inferior to her original form.
Although she didn't believe that her true form could break the boundary between nothingness and existence.
Since that's the case...
Star Tom took two steps back and performed a flashy move, as if he were preparing some earth-shattering ultimate attack.
[Quack! Behold my star core spinning at 990,000 horsepower—the compassionate and merciful savior cat!]
Auto-battle activated!
As if a switch had been flipped, the blue and white shorthair cat jolted awake, as if it had just woken from a nightmare, its round eyes filled with confusion, as if asking, "Who am I? Where am I?"
He then forced a serious expression, as if facing a formidable enemy, and looked around, his expression appearing extremely naive.
"Ah!"
When Tom's gaze focused on the dilapidated, eerie scene around him, corroded by nothingness, he instantly reverted to the reaction of a normal cat.
Its fur stood on end, and with a scream, it was launched into the air, its facial features even momentarily separated from its shock.
After landing, it quickly curled itself into a ball of fur, leaving one foot exposed, as if trying to hide.
【Hi~ Tom~!】
A clear human voice suddenly rang in its head.
"Meow?!"
Tom was so frightened that he was launched into the air again. After landing, he looked around in surprise and found that there was no one there.
It tilted its head, pondered for a second, and then came to a conclusion.
A ghost!
Tom's whole body and teeth began to tremble violently. He used one paw to cling tightly to his wildly chattering teeth, trying to calm them down.
Don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost! I am the Galactic Baseball Man, the savior of the stars!
Due to some strange connection, Xing was able to clearly perceive Tom's panicked overthinking and promptly offered what he thought was a dignified clarification.
"?"
A question mark popped out on Tom's forehead.
What is Galaxy Batman?
Moreover, the voice seemed to be ringing in my head.
As Tom was thinking, a bubble emerged from his head, clearly reflecting the image of the gray-haired, golden-eyed human woman residing in his mind, with an air of 'I am an expert'.
Tom stared at the image in the bubble, breathed a sigh of relief, and instantly wiped away all his fear.
It put its two little paws behind its back and grinned with a bright, rather obsequious smile.
Tom, in the name of Galaxy Batman, I hereby appoint you as the second-ranking Corporal, Little Bucket!
Even through the bubbles, Xing could see Tom's sycophantic manner.
Although Tom had no idea what a Corporal in a small bucket was, he immediately straightened his back, raised one hand, and gave a standard military salute in a solemn yet obsequious manner as he accepted the title.
[Now, I, the Batman, am giving you a crucial mission—go and wake up that purple-haired, seemingly confused older sister over there.]
Upon hearing this, Tom immediately craned his neck and looked in the direction the star indicated, and saw Huang Quan standing silently within the boundary of nothingness.
Although the other person was holding a knife that looked dangerous, he was quiet and dazed, as if... he wasn't dangerous at all?
With this thought in mind, Tom suddenly found his courage.
∠(°ゝ°)
salute.
loyalty!
Cats on the move.jpg
With a powerful leap, it charged headlong into the underworld.
Unlike before, when Star couldn't break through even with all its might, Tom didn't realize there was something in front of him and just recklessly rushed towards it.
Snap! Splash!
The barrier was smashed open, creating a cat-shaped hole.
It wasn't until he had already rushed inside that Tom belatedly realized what was happening and looked back in confusion.
The shattered boundary barrier resembled a broken mirror, its fragments clattering and falling before quickly dissipating into nothingness.
This scene left Himeko, who was digging for Kiana from the mountain of chips, completely stunned and speechless.
Even though the true nature of that barrier was still unclear, the experienced nameless guest, knowing Huang Quan's identity, could deduce many things from Himeko's perspective, but...
It's outrageous!
The Sea of Nothingness was like walking on flat ground for Tom; it led him to the side of the Underworld.
Its body stretched like rubber, and it carefully extended its claws, pushing little by little the katana in Huang Quan's hand, which exuded an aura of nothingness, back into its sheath.
As the [Nothing] sword was sheathed, the terrifying crimson aura and illusory spider lilies surrounding Huang Quan quickly disappeared, and her long, pale hair regained its original beautiful purple hue.
Only the eyes remained, still eerie crimson vertical pupils, flowing with blood and tears, overflowing with sorrow and emptiness.
Seeing this, Tom bit his paw.
This human looks very sad.
It can sense the other person's extremely heavy mood.
Tom, a compassionate and kind-hearted cat, went to Huang Quan's side, helped her wipe away her blood and tears, and then patted her head as if comforting an old friend.
After being soothed by the cat's paws, Huang Quan finally came to his senses.
She looked at Tom, opened her mouth, and after a long while, finally uttered a word.
"Thank you."
Immediately, Huang Quan withdrew his power.
The world seemed to have had its color switch flipped again, with vibrant colors instantly returning and everything returning to normal.
but.
There are a few slight differences compared to before.
A hideous, massive, crimson blade mark that stretched across the entire starry sky was deeply etched into the firmament of the twelve o'clock hour.
It was as if the entire Pinocchio Dream Galaxy had been split in two. No matter where you were in the dream, as long as you looked up, you could clearly see this spacetime fault that emitted a dark red starlight.
The Dream Builder of the Family: Maru!
Even if all the dream architects worked around the clock without eating, drinking, or sleeping, it would probably take several years to repair this level of dream destruction!
"I'm sorry, I was reminded of some things from the past and accidentally fell into a deeper void."
Huang Quan, who thought Tom was Xing, lowered her head and whispered.
After this unexpected turn of events, she went even further down the path of nothingness, and her power reached a new level.
But what's the use?
Huang Quan frowned and turned to look at the dark sun deep within the boundary of nothingness.
Tom seemed to sense something, turning his head faster than dusk, and in the next second, he vanished from the spot.
Whoosh—smack!
A figure was casually tossed out of the pitch-black sun, tracing a graceful arc in the air.
Immediately following was a smug little brown mouse, clapping its hands and slowly strolling out; clearly, it was the one who had done it.
Before Qiong Jerry could get far, a blue cat shadow appeared behind him like a ghost, scooped him up, and held him tightly. In an instant... oh, it failed to refine him.
