With Edolas Mira protecting him, the others' attitudes toward Eleven changed somewhat; at least they weren't as wary as before.

It seems that Eleven was inexplicably cleared of suspicion just like that.

Even Edolas Erza put down their spears, giving Edolas Mira a somewhat resentful look, complaining that she was too easily swayed by what others said.

Edolas Mira, all smiles, moved closer to Edolas Erza, took her arm affectionately, and started swaying it playfully. Before long, she won Edolas Erza's forgiveness, and the two began chatting and laughing together.

Watching the two women so close and intimate, Eleven couldn't help but rub his eyes. After confirming that he wasn't blind, he sighed inwardly, "This other world is truly full of wonders."

After the atmosphere inside the large tent gradually eased, the large cats that had been sitting in the main seat cautiously approached Eleven, as if they had something to say.

Eleven curiously examined the large cats in front of him. These cats were all much larger than Happy and the others, and he couldn't tell if it was due to their age or their breed.

Especially that large, black, muscular cat that was constantly watching Eleven. Standing up, it was half a head taller than Eleven. That's not a cat anymore, it's a leopard! Why are you hanging out with cats?

The leader was a beautiful pure white female cat who looked somewhat like a larger version of Carla, but with a more composed and dignified demeanor.

Who knows how Eleven sensed the cat's aura, but this big white cat certainly gave Eleven a noble feeling, making her feel that even if she wasn't a queen, she should at least be some kind of noblewoman.

Is it because I've been single for so long that even a cat seems handsome to me?

To make sure he didn't have any strange quirks, Eleven quickly shifted his attention; the two cats behind the white cat looked much cleaner.

The fat orange cat looked exactly like Yi Ye, with its enormous face matching Yi Ye's features... Hmm, it makes it impossible to believe cats anymore!

The other black cat was also oddly shaped, resembling an exclamation mark, with one arm constantly waving, giving the impression that it wasn't very intelligent.

After the big cats introduced themselves, Eleven learned that the white cat's name was Shagotte, and that she was actually the queen of a cat kingdom, and had even once ruled a human kingdom.

However, now most of Edolas's cats have been turned into Magic Crystals, and she is no longer a queen, but a homeless person living under someone else's roof.

Shagotte the white cat stood in front of Eleven, hesitating several times as if she wanted to say something but then stopped, agonizing over it for a long time before finally saying nothing, leaving Eleven completely bewildered.

Actually, Shagotte herself was also conflicted; she didn't know how to bring it up with Eleven. Shagotte had a secret that very few people knew: she was actually a precognitive cat who could see the future.

Shagotte often sees fragments of the future from time to time, an ability that greatly helps Shagotte, not only allowing her to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, but also enabling her to deceive people.

Years ago, when Shagotte was still queen, she used her ability to foresee death to impersonate a god who could bring death to mankind for a long time, thereby achieving her rule over humanity.

Just now, the moment Eleven gained everyone's trust, Shagotte saw a vision of the future once again.

She saw the destruction of the royal capital, the collapse of the God King's regime, and the engulfment of all the people from the other world by an unimaginable super explosion.

And all of this seems to have been caused by this Eleven in front of us.

Shagotte was stunned for a moment after seeing these images. Then, she couldn't wait to run to Eleven and tell him about the future she had seen, but Shagotte didn't know what to say.

Although these otherworldly beings seemed to have successfully defeated those in the palace, they all died in the end! Shagotte didn't believe anyone could survive such a horrific explosion.

In this situation, could Shagotte really encourage Eleven to go and die?

Furthermore, Shagotte didn't want to warn Eleven about the potential dangers ahead. Firstly, because her prediction was just a vision and might not be accurate, and secondly, because Shagotte feared that Eleven might abandon his plan to attack the capital after hearing about the danger.

The future can be changed. A rare opportunity to avenge countless compatriots has finally presented itself. If Shagotte were to cause an unknown change in the future because of her own words, she doesn't know if she would regret it later.

Shagotte isn't exactly an evil cat; she possesses a kind, loving, and noble side. For the sake of her species' development and the growth of her offspring, she would even sacrifice herself without hesitation. She once sacrificed half of her wing for her daughter's health.

However, she doesn't feel much identification with humans. Although she won't deliberately make things difficult for them, nor will she indiscriminately kill innocent humans, as the queen of the "Exceed," she only thinks about things from the perspective of the Exceed.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to deceive and rule the human kingdoms for so many years under the guise of a "god." The Anima Project is also inextricably linked to Shagotte. In fact, if the Kingdom of Edolas hadn't been invaded, Shagotte planned to use a super-large Anima to absorb the cities of the otherworldly humans, turning them into Magic Crystals to obtain endless magic power.

Therefore, when faced with Eleven from another world, Queen Shagotte was more concerned with whether it was worth sacrificing these otherworldly beings to avenge her dead people.

In the end, Queen Shagotte couldn't say anything. She really didn't want to see the opportunity for revenge slip away like this. So she bowed deeply to Eleven, at a ninety-degree angle, and said apologetically.

"I'm leaving Lisanna's matter in your care."

The cats following Shagotte were puzzled when they saw their queen bow to him as soon as she arrived, but they quickly bowed deeply to Eleven in unison to show their respect.

Eleven was even more confused and quickly helped Shagotte up, repeatedly assuring her that he would definitely rescue Lisanna.

Shagotte felt a little guilty and didn't dare to meet Eleven's gaze. After hesitating for a long time, she cautiously reminded him, "Also, please be careful. Those people have many extremely powerful weapons, some of which have unimaginable explosive power. You must not get close."

Eleven raised an eyebrow, nodded seriously, and said, "Okay, I understand. Thanks for reminding me."

(′▽`) Oh, what a kind cat! It's so beautiful and kind-hearted. If it were a human, it would definitely be a great beauty!
