one piece: gene extraction and fusion system

"It seems we are not late, Master."

Standing at the front, Lilith appeared outside the gate and spotted Mio at a glance. A bright smile lit up her face.

To Lilith's left stood Warwick and Hei Yan.

To her right were Erica and a little girl with long red and green hair.

"Mashi?" Seeing the little girl, Mio couldn't help but reveal a touch of joy. Without a doubt, this little girl was Mashi. A year had passed, and Mashi now looked like a child of seven or eight years old.

But that was normal—Mashi wasn't human. As a fantasy beast with an extended lifespan, her kind grew rapidly during early development, then stabilized for the majority of their lives, only aging again near the end of their lifespans.

"Mom!"

Upon seeing Mio's familiar yet slightly changed face, Mashi shouted in delight. A pair of wings extended from her back as she flew straight into Mio's arms.

"Mom... Mom?!!"

Hearing that, Mio's mouth twitched slightly. He quickly moved to catch her mid-air, holding her tightly.

"Mashi missed you so much!" Mashi buried her head in Mio's chest and rubbed against him affectionately.
