That so-called "super transformation device" was invented by Rakuten and Tom together.
However, this super transformation device was a complete failure.
It has an extremely serious side effect that will prevent the user from ever returning to human form.
But Tom, blinded by greed, created "Wild Continent" to promote this dangerous technology, which will cause countless innocent people to lose their minds and be forever unable to transform into human form.
Lotte participated in this competition precisely to stop his former partner from committing this heinous mistake.
The world of Fruit Warriors
"Wow."
"Never... never again can they become human again?"
"Then...doesn't that mean that people who use that bracelet will be stuck as little animals for the rest of their lives, never to see their parents and friends again?"
"This is just too... too pitiful."
Looking at the ominous warning written in red ink on the sky, Lu Xiaoguo revealed a look of fear and sympathy.
"It's so abominable."
"This guy named Tom is far more evil than any of the villains we've ever encountered before."
Cheng Liuxiang's face was filled with the most extreme anger as a righteous Fruit Child towards this evil act of disregarding human life for profit.
"He knew perfectly well that the transformation bracelet was a complete failure that would harm people."
"Why...why did he still package it as a fun amusement park ride and promote it, letting so many innocent people use it?"
"Is it... all just to earn that so-called 'money'?"
He simply couldn't understand why anyone would do something so heinous for money.
"……Ugh."
"You don't understand the fragrance of oranges."
Pineapple Snowflakes wore an expression filled with emotion and disdain. His usually wise face was now etched with deep contempt for this kind of pure, greedy evil.
"For some villains who have been completely blinded by 'profit' and 'desire'."
"Money is their only, supreme, and absolute belief in life."
"In order to obtain more money, they can abandon all their conscience, morality, and even humanity without hesitation."
"Don't even mention it, it's about making others never be able to turn back into humans."
"As long as he can earn enough money, he probably wouldn't hesitate for a second to destroy the entire Flower Fruit Mountain and the entire world."

“...Excessive use of the Super Transformation will cause the user to gradually lose their rationality.”
"In more serious cases, they may never be able to regain their human form."
Inside the command center, a senior police officer slowly read aloud the line of despair-filled warning written by Lotte himself on the screen, revealing an unprecedented expression of anger.
"...can never regain human form."
"What... what's the fundamental difference between this and outright murder?"
"No, that's not right."
"This is ten thousand times more cruel and vicious than killing someone outright."
"Killing is merely a physical act of taking a person's life."
"And what this man named Tom did was deprive a person of all dignity, all social relationships, all memories, and all possibilities for the future as a 'human being'."
He felt that his lifelong understanding of "crime," which he had upheld as a law enforcement officer, was being fiercely challenged by this new and more cruel form.
"Yes."
"He did this to promote his so-called 'Wild Continent'."
"To earn those dirty profits stained with the blood and tears of countless people."
"They are willing to go so far as to turn thousands of unsuspecting and innocent tourists into mindless, zombie-like beasts who have lost all reason and only know how to destroy and kill."
Another officer also showed an extremely angry expression.
"……I see."
"This Tom is neither a simple businessman nor an ambitious man."
"He is a complete antisocial, horrific, inhuman killer who is carrying out a 'mass indiscriminate slaughter'."
The young chief inspector looked at the screen with an expression filled with extreme, chilling murderous intent.
"The crimes he committed were far more heinous than those of the previous arms dealer."
"Even more unforgivable."
[Bald Qiang immediately activated his modified car key, which enabled the bus parked outside the desert to enter autonomous navigation mode and drive to them.]
And so, Bald Qiang, driving his amphibious vehicle, carrying Xiao Ke and Xiong Er who also wanted to rescue their friend, sped wildly across the vast water.
"Wow, Bald Qiang, your car can actually drive on water!" Xiong Er said cheerfully.
"Bald Qiang, how did your bus find us?" Xiao Ke asked curiously.
"Hehe, this is my own invention, a 'find my master' function, always available when called," Bald Qiang said proudly.
The World of Eromanga Sensei
"Wow--"
"cool."
"That's so cool."
Looking at the bus on the vast water in the sky, riding the waves and speeding freely, Yamada Fairy revealed an expression filled with extreme envy and longing, her eyes sparkling.
"A bus that can drive on water, is amphibious, and is full of retro steampunk style."
"Moreover, it also comes with a unique 'automatic owner-finding' function, where you just press the key and it will drive over to you like a loyal little dog, no matter how far away you are?"
"My God."
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God."
"This is simply the most perfect, the ultimate romantic vehicle that I have always dreamed of, the one that only exists in fantasy novels, belonging to great adventurers."
She felt that if she could own such a car, she would definitely be able to write the greatest novel, ten thousand times greater than all her previous works.
"...A very impressive invention."
"Very practical."
Senju Muramasa, standing to the side, also wore an expression filled with admiration and a touch of emotion.
"And...did you notice?"
"All of his seemingly whimsical and impractical inventions were fundamentally based on the goal of 'solving the practical problems at hand'."
"In order to be able to go home for the Chinese New Year, he built a logging vehicle that could traverse mountains and valleys."
"To make the little girl named Dudu happy, he created a flying bicycle that could fly into the clouds."
"Now, in order to rescue his companions who are trapped far away, he has brought out this amphibious bus that can traverse all terrains."
"His inventions are always filled with violence and destruction."
"But its core essence is always full of human warmth."
"yes……"
"Automatic owner finding function..."
"With this, I'll never have to worry about not finding a parking space again..."
"It will be much more convenient when I go out to buy groceries or attend book signings..."
Izumi Masamune wore an expression of pure, pragmatic envy.

"……amphibious……"
"How...how did he do that?"
Inside the command center, a police officer from the technical department looked at the bus on the tarp that, despite defying all principles of fluid dynamics, was still able to travel at high speed on the water, and wore an expression full of shock and bewilderment.
“Look at the chassis of that bus. It doesn’t have any of the features of a traditional boat or a hovercraft.”
"He must have installed some kind of small, high-powered water jet device somewhere on the wheels or chassis that we can't see, which is completely beyond the comprehension of our current technology."
"And that, the so-called 'automatic owner finding' function."
"This would require an extremely precise, globally covered satellite positioning system, and a highly independent, super-autonomous AI with advanced artificial intelligence to make it possible."
The technical officer's face was filled with the utmost admiration and awe for Bald Qiang's incredible skills.
"Oh my God..."
"Bald Qiang's inventions are as amazing as ever, completely illogical."
"I used to think that his invention that turned a bicycle into an airplane was already his limit."
"I never imagined that he could so easily build such a super bus that is amphibious and can even drive itself to find its owner."
Another officer wore an expression that suggested he was completely numb, as if to say, "I won't be surprised no matter what kind of outrageous, world-destroying things he creates next."
"...This guy..."
"How many more surprises, unknown to us and enough to shock the world, are hidden in his mind?"
The young superintendent of police looked at the screen, where someone was proudly showing off his unique invention—a tiny lumberjack—to his colleagues.
"He always manages to succeed even in the most desperate and impossible situations."
“Bring out something that is so extraordinary and unimaginable that it can turn the tide of events.”
"He...is indeed a born creator."
"He was also a...born hero."
On his usually cold and serious face, a genuine, complex smile appeared—a smile that was both admiring and tinged with a hint of helplessness.
And so, they successfully made their way to the high-tech headquarters of "Wild Continent."
Using a super transformation device, Bald Qiang transformed himself into an owl capable of flying in the night, and together with Xiong Er and Xiao Ke, quietly infiltrated the headquarters.
Meanwhile, on the other side of headquarters.
Tom, holding a steaming cup of coffee, pushed open a door to a room.
Tom said with a smile, "Lotte, my old friend, it's been a long time."
"Tom."
[Locked in the room, Lotte glared at him angrily (at the cost of the money).]
"Sit down, sit down, sit down, don't get so excited. Same as usual, your coffee, no sugar."
He handed the cup of coffee he was holding to Lotte.
But Lotte didn't respond; she continued to stare at him with that angry gaze.
He shrugged indifferently and continued, "As you can see, my 'Wild Continent' is a huge success, and I'm happy you're back. But why did you steal my identity information? What are you trying to do?"
[Rakuten replied, "Because I need to investigate why that 'Super Transformation' technology, which I personally destroyed, has reappeared in this world."]
Tom sneered, "Ha, with such excellent technology, how could I let it disappear so easily? Any new technology carries risks; only by daring to try can we make progress."
[Le Tian said angrily, "Have you forgotten? Once a person uses the Super Transformation, they quickly lose their mind and will never be able to turn back into a human again."]
Tom confidently replied, "I'll find a way to make this technology completely free of side effects. You have to trust me."
[Le Tian questioned, "But as you've seen, many innocent people have already lost their minds because of your so-called 'super transformation.'"]
Tom said impatiently, "I told you, I'll find a way. Besides, I've already made a lot of money using this technology. The competition I organized this time was also very successful. The video of the competition was broadcast to the whole world. I believe that it won't be long before this technology is promoted throughout the country and even the world."
