Although the empty sand defense wall connected into a spherical shape kept rolling and flying in the meteor shower, like a baseball being beaten with a random stick, but inside, Guo Dong took out the sand gourd that he had forgotten for a long time and returned it.
I made an inner round ball and used telekinesis to separate the air in the middle. As a result, no matter how chaotic the outside was, the inside would not rotate irregularly. At most, it would only vibrate and shake slightly.
But Guo Dong suddenly discovered something at this time.
"Huh?"
Guo Dong held the cat's armpits with both hands and raised it in front of him: "Little guy, why do you seem to be different?"
Because the cat had been held in his arms all the time, and his hair suddenly stood up when he saw Immorton, Guo Dong quickly noticed the abnormality not long after the change appeared.
"Meow~"
After being fingered for a long time, the cat's alert state eased. When Guo Dong lifted her up in front of her, she didn't resist at all. Instead, she softly barked very obediently. It didn't look like a protest, but more like she was being cute to please.
"Relax, don't move, let me take a look..."
He fiddled around and looked around, then Guo Dong sat cross-legged in the air. While completely eliminating the last trace of shaking, he also assumed a five-heart posture to stabilize his mind, and placed the well-behaved cat on his lap.
Okay, I gently stroked its pure white hair without any trace of color with one hand, and floated one third of my hand on top of its head, carefully feeling the sudden and increasing amount of energy in the cat's body.
"It's strange..."
After a while, Guo Dong looked at the cat who narrowed his eyes under his touch and purred in comfort, and shook his head with confusion on his face.
He was quite sure that there was nothing special about this cat, at least before.
This was not a cat he specifically found, but the cat in the hotel room Evelin rented, and it was not a cat specially raised by Evelin. It was just a cat fed by the innkeeper, even the innkeeper’s pet.
He is not a cat at all, he is half a stray cat.
After all, cats have a very high status in Egypt.
But now there is a force gathering from all directions, slowly and steadily entering the cat's body, and integrating perfectly with it without any lag or hindrance.
"Why is there still a hint of obscure divinity in this power?"
A moment later, when the power in the cat's body once again reached a certain concentration and caused a qualitative change, Guo Dong suddenly felt a vaguely familiar power from this power, a seemingly familiar power characteristic.
It is a power that is similar to but not the same as the divinity contained in the power of Anubis, the God of Death.
Or breath.
"Evelyn, are there any gods related to cats among the Egyptian gods?"
Thinking of the special status of cats in Egypt, Guo Dong suddenly asked Evelyn, an expert on ancient Egypt, who had just recovered from the shock and was curiously poking at the maracas that wrapped them with her hands, like a little girl.
"cat?"
Evelin turned her head and looked at Guo Dong in confusion: "Of course, the legendary moon goddess and the patron saint of the family, Best, is the cat goddess."
Guo Dong raised his eyebrows: "Best? Why does this name sound familiar yet unfamiliar to me?"
The Moon Goddess, and the cat as her representative incarnation had such a high status in ancient Egypt. She couldn't be some unpopular little furry god. Why haven't you heard of her?
"Best, also called Besti, Bast, Basti... the pronunciation of ancient writing and language was different from today's, you should also know that."
Guo Dong nodded in sudden realization. He was not familiar with the name Best, but he was still very familiar with the name Basti.
It's not the Egyptian moon goddess Basti, but there is one in Digimon called Bastimon. The prototype is Basti, the cat goddess in Egyptian mythology. It can be regarded as another subspecies of Celestialmon and another subspecies of Dilumon.
One of the evolutionary routes.
As a die-hard Digimon fan, and owning a digital machine himself, Guo Dong has always regarded himself as a humanoid digital encyclopedia for his understanding of Digimon.
And compared to Evelin, Guo Dong knew that in addition to being the goddess of the moon and the incarnation of the family patron saint Basti, the cat was also the messenger and patron saint of the underworld. That was why he could face General Immorton before.
The sky was full of meteors and fire bombardment, trying to bury them in magma and flames, and used cats to scare Immorton away.
"etc……"
Guo Dong suddenly became thoughtful.
The cat in his arms had always been an ordinary cat before. He was sure of this. When the cat became abnormal, it was after scaring Immorton away.
So, can we guess that all cats, or specific cats, may have the bloodline of a certain ancient mythical beast, or may be like the Chinese black dog and black cat, which are unique in their coat color and possess special abilities/authorities such as warding off evil and overcoming evil.
And this cat, because it saw Immorton, the resurrected mummy, and scared it away, successfully exercised its authority as the messenger and guardian of the underworld for the first time, and opened certain specific conditions.
, which led to the current changes.
It's like the legend that after a person sees a ghost once, his eyes are half-open, and he can always see ghosts that are not deliberately hidden.
Or all ordinary weapons have murderous intent, but only after killing people or animals, the murderous intent of the weapon can cause harm to ghosts because it becomes a so-called killing blade.
This is not impossible or very common.
"Whether it is true or not, just give it a try."
When there were no more meteors and fire rain falling outside, and the big ball formed by the empty sand wall stopped rolling and stabilized, it no longer had the power to enter the cat's body. Guo Dong's eyes flashed with light as he murmured to himself.
While speaking, he took out a scroll, bit off his fingers and wrote and drew all kinds of dazzling spells on it.
"Little guy, do you want to sign a contract with me and become my partner?"
After removing the inner and outer two-layer balls formed by the empty sand defense wall and sand gourds, Guo Dong placed the cat on the ground and also placed the semi-finished scroll he had just made in front of it.
"Meow?"
The cat seemed to understand what Guo Dong said. After thinking for a moment, he tilted his head and looked at Guo Dong and made an obvious cry of confusion.
It was obvious that Evelin and the others nearby heard it very clearly and understood it very clearly.
Okay, how to do it?
It was as if everyone understood cat language at this moment.
"Here, put your little paw into this circle."
Guo Dong spoke patiently and gently while demonstrating it himself.
"Meow?"
There was another questioning cry, and the cat retracted its claws from the circle in the middle of the scroll. The meaning of "Is this so?" was clearly displayed, which made Evelin and others feel surprised and surprised.
This made Guo Dong feel more and more certain.
"Yes, that's it."
Looking at the psychic scroll that was successfully completed with a soft hiss, Guo Dong looked at the cat who had become his psychic beast, and the love in his eyes almost overflowed: "Then, the next step is to witness the final guess.
It’s time.”
While talking, Guo Dong took out the digital machine and pointed it at the little guy who had newly become his psychic beast: "Digital...scan!"
A colorful mysterious light was projected from the digital machine. It was bright but not dazzling, but it was still so clear that there was no blur in the dazzling daylight. It clearly wrapped the body with a psychic scroll, and he was confused.
The cats who looked at Guo Dong were enveloped in it.
Whoosh~
After the light flickered for a moment, it instantly swept the cat and the psychic scroll into a stream of light, and returned to the digital machine in less than an instant.
"Come out, my friend!"
Seeing the cat disappearing, Evelin and others turned around in surprise to look for it, but Guo Dong let out a long breath, then shouted excitedly, raising the digital machine high above his head and shouting.
Huh~
A soft light first appeared, and then he saw a small thing with an apricot-yellow body and only a few purple-blue patterns on the tail. It appeared on Guo Dong's shoulder out of thin air, with a long and fluffy tail.
, but it has no body or limbs, only an eight-pointed figure like a cat, but without whiskers.
Although it is weird, it is also strangely cute...it looks like a completely kawaii doll.
After all, Digimon in their early stages make a living by being cute.
"Since you have obtained the power of the Cat Goddess Basti and transcended the ordinary, and there will also be Bastimon in the future evolutionary path, then from today on, your name will be called Basti, making it unique to you.
A title that distinguishes you from others of your kind."
Guo Dong scratched the other person's chin where he should have been, and gave the other person a unique name with a very fond smile.
Just like Big Comma and Ham, it is the only name that will not change no matter what it evolves into in the future.
Well, actually, I just don’t want to keep changing my name with every evolution and degradation in the future, so as not to dazzle everyone.
"Okay, Guo Dong, thank you."
Milomon/Catmon Basti, who suddenly appeared on Guo Dong's shoulder and looked clearly not an earth creature, which made Evelin and others exclaim, actually spoke human language, and even more so
The exclamations of several people turned into screams.
"Oh my God, what is this?"
"Oh my God, he can talk? Daniel, did you hear that? He can talk!"
"Yes, I heard it... If I catch this, it will definitely sell for a lot of money... Uh, don't look at me like that, I'm just joking. Yes, a joke!"
Daniel looked at Basti's obsessed and greedy eyes, and suddenly woke up under Guo Dong's murderous intention. Although he was explaining, his eyes were so unbelievable.
But it didn't matter whether others believed him or not. From the moment Daniel said these words, it was already decided that he would die badly.
Compared to being instantly annihilated by Guo Dong and dying without consciousness, there is no doubt that in the fear of being chased by Immorton, having all the blood, essence and soul sucked away bit by bit, this way of death is definitely considered to be the best.
It's too bad to die.
Guo Dong, who was originally considering who to kill to break the curse so that Immorton would only have half of his power after completing the ritual and continue to provide Ham with a share of the power of death, was very grateful to Daniel.
joke'.
As a token of gratitude, Guo Dong decided not to kill him.
