Beyond the clouds, Rito floated with a pair of white wings, and beside him, there was a double-door wardrobe floating open.
With his eyes closed, he expanded the wind sensory sensor throughout the entire city.
Covering kilometers of distance, his command was simple: detect stray dogs and cats.
Soon, he was able to find and confirm one hundred and eighty-nine dogs living on the streets and one thousand seven hundred and forty-one cats.
Next, using the wind, he surrounded all these dogs and cats and made them float in the air.
Soon, various meows and barks echoed.
Many people looked up at the sky.
Some recorded, others tried to reach the dogs and cats that began to fly...
"Is this an alien abduction!?"
Questions were raised about the purpose of this happening. The idea of it being an alien abduction was the most widely believed.
Another was about a government conspiracy.
The dogs arrived faster, and under Rito's control, they passed through the door.
After sending the dogs, he closed the door, changing the coordinates to an area kilometers away from where he had placed the dogs. He opened the doors and made the cats, who were already very close, pass through the wardrobe doors.
There were many cats, some even severely injured.
There were even cats with only three legs.
Even so, he didn't exclude them. Who knows? Perhaps a miracle would happen, and these cats could heal. Just by breathing the pure energy of the Garden of Eden, something impossible might happen.
Among the dogs, there were also some injured, even one that was blind in one eye.
What kind of miracle could happen if they began to live in the Garden of Eden was something even Rito was about to discover.
When the last cat passed through, he closed the doors and flew off while carrying the wardrobe.
'I feel some eyes on me…' He thought.
To the sound of gears, followed by a sharp eagle's cry, he activated the Sage's Eyes.
With this, he felt safer if someone tried to approach him with bad intentions.
He continued to fly, gaining distance.
'They're not following me…'
He still didn't relax.
Of course, there's a good chance it's because they were interested in finding out who and why 'abducted' the stray dogs and cats…
In the worst-case scenario, he would enter the wardrobe and close the entrance.
It was precisely because he had this trump card up his sleeve that he dared to do something so attention-grabbing.
Leaving the city, heading toward a lush mountainous area, he let out a sigh of relief upon realizing that indeed no one was following him and proceeded with the second part of his plan.
Opening the wardrobe doors again, making them float with the wind, he expanded the wind sensory sensor and found several pairs of different species of birds.
In an instant, tens of thousands of birds were 'tied' by the green wind and pulled toward the open doors.
The location he opened was also an area farther from the dogs and cats.
He didn't know how to differentiate between male and female using only the wind, so he took two pairs of different bird species.
He sent them through in an organized manner, releasing them and moving on to the next after a few seconds.
The third and final step was at the sea.
Rito shot like an arrow while carrying the wardrobe.
Minutes later, he reached the open sea, and after coating the wardrobe with wind, as well as himself, creating a protective barrier around himself, he dove through the air and opened the wardrobe doors, creating a portal to the Garden of Eden in the air, deliberately in a large hole he had created.
The seawater was sucked in like a drain that had been unclogged, creating a whirlpool, pulling everything around it.
Even Rito was being pulled, but he managed to resist, though the same couldn't be said for various marine animals.
The sheer number of fish sucked in must have exceeded ten thousand after leaving it open for 50 minutes.
Feeling it was enough, he forced the doors to close, and using a mask he took from his backpack, he floated out of the water.
In the air, a helicopter had a camera pointed in his direction.
Obviously, they had come to report on what was happening in the air.
When they saw him, their expressions were amusing, and Rito smiled behind the mask and entered the wardrobe, closing the doors.
On the inside, standing just above the lake that had formed, he canceled that wardrobe as an entry and exit point.
Now, he wondered if they would manage to retrieve the wardrobe in time before it was sucked into the whirlpool and try to find out something from it...
Since it wasn't something he touched directly, always using the wind as a barrier, not even fingerprints would be found, but... Why was it that he felt a bit excited thinking about the possibility of them retrieving the wardrobe and treating it like a treasure that needed to be investigated?
Putting that aside, he looked at the lake and saw that everything was going well.
'Let's see how those cats and dogs are doing.'
Flying very fast, it took him only a few seconds to reach the place where the dogs were.
Clearly, they were confused, and some even started to fight.
Using the wind, he separated the brawling dogs.
He released a bit of his aura as he landed.
The animals were sensitive to this and became cautious; even though they barked, they didn't dare approach.
Using the wind, he pulled seawater and began spraying jets of water on the dogs, which, by the way, were already showing signs of impurities leaving their bodies.
*Woof! Woof! Ruff! Ruff...!*
Some dogs began to protest at being wet, but when they received a look from Rito, they quieted down.
Some were very dirty. A simple jet of water wouldn't be enough.
However, for now, it was better than before.
He took flight again and shot off in a different direction.
He knew that with his departure, some of the dogs might start fighting again, but it shouldn't go too far, and soon the effects of living in this dimension would become more evident, leaving them no time to keep fighting. He believed that instinctively, they would know they needed to run if they wanted to feel better.
Rito arrived at the place where he had left the cats, on the opposite side of the lake.
He had deliberately made the lake separate the cats and the dogs.
Of course, it was possible to go around it, but... that wouldn't happen overnight.
"Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow...!"
The cats' meows became loud enough for him to hear as he approached.
It was more than a hundred cats meowing at the same time, and some had also started to fight.
Using the wind, he did the same as he did with the dogs, separating the brawling cats, who were startled as they lost control of their bodies and began to float.
When they saw the familiar human, many seemed to recognize him.
Some even boldly darted toward him, only to be lifted into the air and spun a few times before being placed back on the ground, dizzy, looking like drunken cats.
Looking at the cats, he saw that they were much cleaner than most of the dogs.
Even so, he gave them the same treatment as the dogs, 'holding them with the wind' and spraying jets of water, cleaning them.
Because of this, the meows grew louder.
Some even seemed to be dying when they got wet.
When he finished, they kept their distance, and some even climbed nearby trees.
'It looks like there's no real problem here...'
His concern was that, when exposed to such pure energy through breathing, they might end up suffocating and dying, but he had worried too much.
After all, the effect of this place wasn't as immediate as the light orbs.
'Now, I need to arrange their food...'
Another thing, he saw some severely injured cats and thought about bringing Asia to take a look later.
As for the birds... He wasn't as worried about their survival.
But... He still went to check on them.
When he reached the area where he had left the birds, he saw that they had already begun to colonize the area.
Deliberately, he had chosen an area with more trees.
'I should plant more trees here, especially fruit-bearing ones...' He thought.
