Cat Cat had finally been caught again.
"Meow! Don't touch me! I'm super fierce, meow!"
Scared so badly she could no longer speak human language, Cat Cat was eventually tied to the experimental table.
Of course, this was actually a good thing, in every respect.
"Don't rush. We still need to make some preparations."
Choosing Cat Cat as the first experimental subject was neither an impulsive decision nor favoritism toward one of his own. She truly was the best choice on Lu PingAn's list.
For the first Prototype Machine, he naturally had to spare no expense to produce results, and Cat Cat was indeed the finest raw material.
She possessed the Spirit Cat talent, combining the exceedingly rare traits of "Spirit Fusion" and "cat." She could even be regarded as a fusion of two abilities.
"Judging by combat records alone, the Flame-Flame Fruit is clearly inferior to the Phoenix, isn't it?"
Although comparisons across worlds were not especially reliable, in Lu PingAn's eyes, Cat Cat's talent ranked among the very best in his team.
"The soul's second awakening" and "the birth of a new life" were probably fair, but what form and traits would awaken depended on the quality of the "raw materials."
If they really awakened some trash ability or a trash clone, it would be damn embarrassing whether it was recorded in history or used as a reference for others.

Cat Cat said nothing, but stared at him fiercely.
Cat Cat had grievances, but Cat Cat did not dare say them. Cat Cat knew the person before her held grudges and would retaliate.
". . . Fine, I did screw you over before. But I compensated you in the end, didn't
