His mysthical cat transformed and become a person too soon. Just because he was given a human food carelessly by these allies he temporarily formed without any choice, Yawhi heart slightly softened after hearing his mysthical cat confused voice while calling him, while also having that same confused expression on that delicate face. Yawhi frowned, falling into a delimma. If the boy just opposite him still retained his cat form, he would surely go over and comfort his cat as usual without having to consider the gender of his cat at all, but...
Yawhi wordlessly looked over at his cat that was still trying its hardest best to break the spiritual chain that is binding him, intending to come closer to his side.
Such a scene... really hurts so much.
The outsiders looking at such events unfolding before them, all thought so inside their heads, but they did not dare to expose their truthful expression, lest Yawhi suddenly vent on them.
"..."
What can they do? This guy is too overpowered!
Yawhi sighed as he seriously looked over at the boy crystal eyes, his serious dark eyes and serious voice successfully made his cat teared up uncontrollably and sob.
But Yawhi hardened his heart and did not pay attention to the boy crying as he sternly said, laying out his cold approach to the boy at this time, by laying some boundaries between the two of them. Ignoring the five people who took a deep breath after the boy almost threw a tantrum by loudly crying, he asked, quitely coldly, "What is your name?"
"It is Quiliu master" Quiliu hiccuped but still answered, aggrievedly looking at his master that was treating him so coldly and sternly.
It made one heart ache too badly, Kaijin clenched her chest but the other four only looked on coldly. It seemed, as minutes passed by, they finally have the rational mind to think things through. Yawhi attitude towards the boy is not unfounded. Afterall, if the boy is still a cat, they think that with no doubt, the boy will still be spoiled rotten and held in the palm of Yawhi hand, but...
A boy is still a boy after all. Yawhi is bound to set some boundaries for this boy.
So as they finally become clear headed (except for Kaijin whose heart was still aching badly for the crying and aggrieved little boy), they crosses their arm and finally raised their head, openly looking at Yawhi then to the little boy with cold expression but gossipy heart.
What would this favored cat in the past become after Yawhi verdict?
"I am setting some boundaries for you to follow, will you go according to my wishes?" Yawhi asked once again, but his cold eyes looking over at the boy stated that he won't accept any refusals from the boy.
The boy paused for a while, his eyes widening as he stared at his master in disbeleif, but seeing that Yawhi is getting more and more impatient to get his response, he sobbed but still replied faithfully, "If that is what you wish master"
Yawhi finally revealed a satisfied look on his face, but before he could even say anything about the boundaries that he will be setting, his eyes suddenly change as he stepped forward and disappeared.
It's not a wonder that something bad had happened, the men also left first, walking towards the door with the fastest speed as they went outside to help Yawhi of the trouble.
Kaijin and Xia who was left behind because of slow movements coming from their body agility, looked at the boy who was curled up. Xia wanted to follow the men and help them, but Kaijin who already got a soft spot for the little boy, came closer to the little boy side as she was about to touch the little boy hair, when she stopped, her breath hitching as fear appeared inside her eyes for the second time, when the boy that was curling up, raised its head to look at her, with crystals that was supposed to shine bright no matter how dark it is, was looking at her, as if she was already a dead person, ready to go to the underworld.
"Paah!"
Shaikou silently looked over at Yawhi and the three humans---not exactly humans, but robotic body, lying disfigured on the ground.
"Who are they?" Ivan asked, crouching down to survey the disfigured figure stuck on the cracked ground, he touch there and there, but except for the body that looked and felt exactly like human, the face was so robotic that people who saw these 'thing' would think not twice, but many times, if they are truly humans.
But Ivan seemed too sure, that the robotic humans destroyed and stuck on the ground without any life, was once a human before they become like this. The reason why they become like this, he don't know--except for the fact that he remembered what Yawhi said.
AI.
Are AI so powerful now? They can even transform humans into the likes of them?
What will be the future of humans if such a thing really happened and developed to much extent that humans even with superpowers cannot resist them anymore?
Ivan who had fun being a villain all these years because of thinking that he was omnipotent except for the times he sparred with Shaikou, was now feeling scared as his hands touching the robotic human on the ground, trembled.
He hurriedly let go of the robotic humans and wiped the hands that touched the dead robot on his clothes until his palm turned bloody red.
His eyes turned as Yawhi who he asked, once again disappeared from his spot, appearing not far away as a robotic human neck suddenly appeared on his hand, as he mercilessly threw it down to the ground without any expression on his face.
After throwing the robotic human on the ground, Yawhi expressionless face faltered a little as he furrowed his brows, finally sighing, he crouched down and once again disfigured the robotic human body.
Seeing such a scene, the fear in Ivan heart receeded a lot, but a chill run down to his spine when he saw Yawhi disfiguring the robotic human casually. Even if this robotic human was now a robot, after he had confirmed that this robot were once a human, he can't help but to think, what would happen to him if he also become like this?
Would he be roughly handled like what Yawhi is doing to these robotic humans right now? Just thinking of such a scene made Ivan shiver in fear as he hurriedly shook his head, looking for something that can distract him from the possibility of what would be the end of him if he joined the camp of robotic humans while having Yawhi as their foe.
It's extremely tragic, but what can he do? What can they do? Strong can rule over the weak how they wanted to.
That is the rule of the jungle after all.
"Those are humans that were binded by AI's and turned into robotic humans after they completey fell into the trap and deceived by the systems. If you become like this, don't resent me too much, but your fate, will be much more worst than this. After all, you are my ally, my allies are supposed to be strong and will not fall into the deception of humans, do you understand?" in every word that Yawhi uttered with those rare cold voice, Shaikou, Zero and Ivan trembled and they pitifully looked at Yawhi.
Yawhi only glanced at them before he slowly waved his hand and intending to go inside again, "Clean up the bodies, burn them so they won't work again"
Yawhi paused on his footsteps before hurriedly going inside after hearing a loud slap, leaving behind the three who was still confused on who should dispose the robotic humans body first.
Because, they certainly don't want to be the first. After all, they were freshly threatened, and they think that having contact with this robotic humans, might make turn them into robotic humans too.
"You do it" Shaikou and Zero obviously reached an agreement as they both coldly said these to Ivan whose hair stood up immediately as if being fried.
"Why would I?!" he shouted, reluctant to do it.
Shaikou and Zero both looked at each other, as they nodded and looked at Ivan once again, Ivan felt a bad premonition going on inside his heart as he watched Shaikou and Zero both opening their mouth at the same time, "You touch robotic humans a while ago, it is safe for you to do it" they both said in unison.
Ivan looked at them, speechless.
Just after Yawhi heard something inside, his heart give birth to worry as he hurriedly entered the apartment, not really minding the three people that were still discussing loudly about who was the one that should dispose the body.
Even if the two already decided that Ivan is best to dispose of the body when he was curiosly touching robotic humans just a while ago.
"...."
Yawhi did not care about whether a party agree or disagree with the proposed agreement, as he hastened his steps and hurried inside, just in time to see his cat, currently in his human form, looking over at Kaiin who was tightly covering her face that was dripping shockingly blood with hostility and vigilance.
Yawhi went silent for a moment there as he took on a minute to think what just happened, what was currently happening and most importantly, why is Quiliu acting so weird? Curled up in a corner, with hands folded into his belly, but the fair and handsome face can't be retracted in time at all even if Quiliu saw him entering the apartment.
What is this mysthical cat that just evolved was going to do with a human that really don't have the strength to fight back at it?
Quiliu finally calmed down enough and saw his master looking at him seriously, his master familiar gentle dark eyes that were always boring down to his furry body in the past was gone and replaced with seriousnesss and coldness just after he transformed into his human form.
Quiliu did not feel it after a long time, but then again, after having to be separated at its owner for such a long time that will never really happen in the past because not only does his owner not allowit, he will also not allow it.
He was extremely clingy, yes, but having him to compromise to leave his master side when he was still a pampered and spoiled little mysthical cat, Quiliu won't even hesitate to scratch the said person face with so much hostility for putting forward its proposal on wanting him to leave his owner side.
"Quiliu." Yawhi started to say after a long minute had passed with netheir of the two of them having to say anything first in the first minute.
Obviously, Yawhi seemed to have already forgotten Xia and Kaijin who was covering her face tightly and attempting to heal her face with her healing magic while she sobbed lowly, scared to think that she can't endure this kind of thing.
If Yawhi saw her posture properly, he would probably stop her helplessly. Since the meaning of being scratch by a cat---not an ordinary cat but a mysthical cat' would not get the wound they get from the mysthical cat to be healed so easily even if they put much effort or inputs a lot of healing magic or potion.
Afterall, a mysthical cat is really mysthic. It can't be perturbed with just weak powers.
As the three of them all have their own thoughts circulating inside their heads and proceeded to the scenes they should head, Quiliu who obviously knows that its Master was about to scold it, bit his lower lip and aggrievedly looked at Yawhi but still answered to Yawhi call after seeing his master still looking seriously at him.
"Master..."
Huhu.
This cat is so aggrieved and so pitiful, but maybe the master won't want it anymore it he continued to be fussy and disobedient, after all, he was not a cat anymore, but a cat that evolved and have a human form.
Now... Quiliu seemed to know the source of why his master suddenly become so cold to him!
Quili who was not even a day old in his human form, was starting to hate his human form and was forcibly changing itself to his cat form.
While Yawhi was paying attention to his cat, Kaijin who can't seem to heal her wound, put down her hand despairingly, not having a will to be healed anymore.
When Xia guarding her on her side widened her eyes as she covered her mouth that was about to let out a horrifying gasp, "What's wrong with your face?!"
