My eyes shot open as I heard the explosion, I hurriedly looked around, it looked different, it was all dark, there was a sound of something moving, but I couldn\'t see where I was, Kidd where is he, I thought as I screamed his name, but instead of Kidd\'s name, a different sound came out of my mouth,

"MEOOOW"

As I heard the voice meowing, I realized what was going on, \'Damn a fucking dream,\' I cursed aloud, \'Star what is going on, how did I get here,\' I asked, but there was no answer, at least not for a few seconds,

[You...] he said after a brief pause, [you...died.] he said to me,

\'Not for the first time,\' I said as I examined my surroundings, I was in the room I had designed to harvest the mana Cores from the Random slime, \' so why did I dream about my past?\' I inquired, [when you die, your life flashes before your eyes, that happens when your brain thinks about what it can do to save the body, it goes through all its memories to see if there is a solution to what is currently happening, I believe you were in that state of mind where your mind was searching for an answer, however, your mind got transferred to this Double-Ganger, in the middle of the process.]

I expected this much, but how did I change my body?

[read your notifications,]

As Star suggested, I glanced at the previous notifications that had appeared before I swapped bodies. It\'s a strange feeling, it feels like I\'m in my body and not at the same time, it\'s like I\'m wearing an extra layer of clothes, which felt uncomfortable.

[UNABLE TO HEAL HOST BODY]

[HOST BODY IS ON THE VERGE OF DEATH]

[ENABLING SAFETY PROTOCOLS]

[CHANGING HOST BODY TO OTHER VESSEL]

So there were "safety protocols" huh?

That is new, did the cat goddess think about every outcome to evens design this, I thought as I looked at the giggling slime, right by my side, I was in the body of the Double-Ganger that was tasked with harvesting the mana cores.

\'I will give you some rest,\' I said, staring at the slime in front of me, which was shivering, well, I would be shivering if I were in his position, I have been tormenting this slime for mana cores for almost a century, if there was a normal person in his position his brain would have shattered by now,

\'I wonder whether you despise me?\' I asked the slime, as I said so it stopped shaking for a second and I felt as if he was looking at me, but I paid it no mind as I looked around, there was a pile of mana cores here with a cat-sized desk, which could fit me in my full size, I have intended to use this place as my research lab, and now that I am thinking about the slime and stuff, I know that I would be spending more and more time here thinking to figure out what I can do about the black slime. I died to a black slime, as I thought this I looked back at the slime trapped I had made for him,

I should build a couple of layers of barrier around the forest that has not yet been contaminated my barrier broke back then.

When I reflect on what transpired with the black slime, which caused my death, I can\'t help but giggle. And soon that small giggle turned to maniacal laughter.

I am the guardian of the world tree and Nexus, and I died at the hands of a black slime of all things.

\'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH\'

As I laughed, I realized that I had been fooled into believing that I was more powerful and all-powerful than I was. I had let the power go to my head, and as a result, I was taken aback by what happened.

\'Now that I think about it, is it even worth it to protect this world?\' I questioned, and as I uttered those words, I felt something like a minor tremor. It was something that would not be something that would be noticed by many people since it was faint, but it seemed like the world and shook for a moment.

Well anyway, I should find a solution for the black slime, and the mutated animals, let\'s call them Corrupted beasts.

Is the corruption also due to the slime, I thought to myself as I took the small test tube out of my inventory and then placed it right in front of my eyes, it was still moving inside the test tube, I would have to do many things to get the answers I need, and \'I hope you hold all the answers I seek,\' I said to the sample of black slime that I had taken earlier.

As if responding to my voice It moved toward my face,

[wait Nova, hold on I think you missed it but you placed the tube inside your storage]

Star said his voice, was quite loud,

\'Ya, I did place it in my inventory why?\' I asked confused at what it was pointed at,

[dumb fuck use your mind, you can\'t place anything that is living inside your inventory]

Holy mother of all cats, I exclaimed as I looked at the black slime with more curiosity,

\'H-how can you go inside my inventory?\' I asked as I looked at it,

\'Are you undead?\' I asked it again as if I was expecting it to answer all my questions but obviously, no such answers came out.

I shall speak with it at a later time for the time being, I need to investigate what is going on outside and determine whether or not the Four Kings are okay.

I felt a little overwhelmed, but even so, it was not something I couldn\'t handle because I had been through much worse, than this. Thinking this, I opened the large door to the research lab, and then I moved out and toward the exit of the cave. As I did so, more and more questions began to pile up in my head. Many interesting things started to transpire. I moved closer to the exit of the cave.

As I was thinking all of this, I finally jumped out of the hole that I had been using to enter my cave, and as soon as I did so, I discovered that the four kings were waiting for me there. They were all facing opposite me, and they were looking in the direction where we had encountered the black slime.

"Hello," I said to them as I sat behind them before I transformed into my kitten form. All three of them jumped in alarm and were ready to fight, their fangs in full display as they growled, and quickly spun around.

As they did so, I turned my attention to Kai, who was still unconscious. I could tell that he was breathing regularly because his chest was remaining steady.

\'Lord Nova!\' Snow shouted as he saw me,

\'W-when did you even get here?\' Khan asked.

\'W-why didn\'t we feel your presence?\' Kaya asked, they all looked startled,

\'Aa sorry for scaring you Guys,\' I said Even though I couldn\'t see anything that seemed out of place on my paw, I couldn\'t resist the impulse to lick it clean, just like the rest of my body did. I licked my paw repeatedly while trying to clean it.

\'As for your questions, khan, and Kaya\' I spoke as I looked at them for a second and then went back to cleaning myself.

\'I just got here and I don\'t know why you didn\'t feel my presence, I wasn\'t trying to sneak up on you guys.\' I answered them and then directly moved on to the main topic, without giving them any chance to say anything more.

\'Tell everyone that they are prohibited to go out of the inner forest at all costs, I will be casting barriers all around the inner forest, anyone can leave if they please to do so however after that they won\'t be able to return inside again unless I let them in. So make sure no fools try something\' I said,

\'Yes we will do as you command\' Kaya said as she bowed her head a little and so did the other two,

\'But Lord Nova what do we do with Kai?\' Snow asked, he looked to be worried about Kai, and Khan shared his worried as he too looked to be in distress,

\'Ya about Kai, I think it would be good for him to take a dip inside mana water lake, I will tell you, guys, when he wakes up,\' I said as I lifted him using telekinesis, and then placed him or more like dropped him on the surface of the mana water lake, and soon his body sank down, without any trouble.

\'Now then you have your orders, make sure that everyone else is in the inner forest within three hours because after that I will be placing the barrier.\' I commended them and then turned around to leave.
