Zhao Yao's muscles, bones, and tendons did not receive a significant enhancement. However, he could better utilize and unleash his strength owing to his greater mastery over his body.
By simply throwing a few punches in the air, he was able to produce a deafening sound from the sheer force produced by it.
Each punch was infused with strength from his entire body condensed into an immeasurable force.
Other than that, he could detect the movement of every single cat in his apartment by straining his ears.
"Roly Poly is still busy eating his dinner. Matcha has returned to his massage throne. Hmph... This sound should be Elizabeth jumping onto the windowsill." By shutting his eyes, the sounds had materialized into images in his head. Zhao Yao could visualize all the scenes in his apartment by simply listening to the sounds produced by them, "Dust Ball and Mango are chasing each other around the apartment, Rice Cake... hmph? Trying to use my computer?"
Zhao Yao bolted out of his room with his index finger pointing straight at Rice Cake's forehead, "What are you doing? Are you trying to use my computer without my permission?"
Rice Cake stared at Zhao Yao with a look of disappointment and explained, "I have yet to play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for the entire day!" Since returning home, she had been eagerly anticipating Zhao Yao to switch on the computer and play the game. However, Zhao Yao was busy with other miscellaneous stuff and had yet to do so.
Zhao Yao facepalmed himself and rested his forehead on his palm, "How about you play the game on your own?" Zhao Yao's energy was fixed in his BOOK and was not interested to play the game at all.
An unknown energy surged through Rice Cake's body as her eyes shone with excitement, "You... You... You are allowing me to play the game?"
"Why not?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"Rice Cake began jumping up and down and asked, "Zhao Yao, what's your password?"
A few seconds later, Rice Cake was already seen in her battle position: both hind legs standing on the keyboard with her paws resting on the mouse. Her feet were constantly darting across the keyboard while the mouse zigzagged across the table. She had devoted all her attention to the game.
Her screams grew louder and louder as the game continued, "I'll kill you, I'll kill all of you! Meowhahaha, I" let you experience my wrath!"
Zhao Yao shook his head in disbelief as he looked at how excited Rice Cake got from playing the game. He then switched his attention back to his BOOK.
Now that his BOOK had reached level 4 and he had received the power of "Three is better than two", it was time for him to add a new cat to his book to complete his main mission.
There was no uncertainty as to which cat he would pick to add to his BOOK.
However, adding Ares to his BOOK would not be as simple as adding Elizabeth and Dust Ball in the past.
....
Inside the extradimensional belly, Caesar's eyelids started to quiver as he struggled to open his eyes. Caesar immediately raised his hands in the air to shield his head from the impending attack. A loud clank was heard as Caesar managed to intercept the British Shorthair's strike, but his paws immediately swelled to twice its original size from the attack.
"Can you please stop hitting my head?" Caesar quivered with indignation and shouted, "I'm already bleeding from all your smashing and slapping."
Bam!
With the use of his shockwave, Fūjin had already sent his punch directly onto Caesar's face and immediately sent him into a coma once again.
"You talk too much for your own good, " Fūjin remarked as he puffed out a breath of air.
At this moment, a blinding beam of light erupted from the heavens and attracted the attention of all the cats within the belly.
Zhao Yao had already altered the supercats' 5 senses and had instantly appeared next to Ares. Zhao Yao was extremely quick in his actions as he could not allow Ares time to use his power to repel Zhao Yao's power of illusion.
By altering their 5 senses, Ares did not even realize Zhao Yao had already captured him in his arms and was being brought away. He, like the other cats, was simply staring in awe at this magnificent scene. This extraordinary beam of light which had descended from the heavens had left the supercats in awe.
Diana stared at it with her jaws slack and asked, "Brother Ares, what is this?"
"Little girl, I am God."
As Zhao Yao's words rang in their heads, the world in front of them began to transform. The containers and steel walls in their vision had disappeared. In their place was a vast sea engulfed in a beautiful white sky.
The two ragdolls' pupils dilated as they witnessed the radical transformation. They could smell the fragrance of the flowers and could feel the gentle breeze blowing across their cheeks. They looked at each other and thought, "Elizabeth's illusion can only alter the sense of sight and sound. Is this guy really capable of transforming this entire world?
Is he... really a God?"
The two ragdolls were hardly able to breathe as they could not believe their eyes. Meanwhile, Ares and company were somewhat used to this and were less affected by this magnificent sight.
Ares asked, "Today isn't the day for our weekly missions, so why are you here?"
"Are you kidding?" Zhao Yao burst into laughter and said, "I am God! I can do whatever I want!"
"Tsk!" Ares rolled his eyes and thought, "What a lame person."
"Are you trying to scold me in your head?"
Ares's chest tightened with fear as he stared at Zhao Yao and asked, " You.... You... you can read my mind?"
"Obviously! There is nothing too difficult for me, God." Zhao Yao thought, "Even a retard could guess your thoughts by looking at your face."
"So what's your reason for coming over today?" Ares retorted, "Is there another mission for us again?'
"I'm not here to give you another mission. Instead, I have something good for you." As he spoke, a trickle of golden fluid started dripping from the beam of light and it floated in front of Ares's eyes.
"This is the Essence of God. You would receive a significant boost in strength by swallowing this."
The supercats in the belly looked at the fluid in amazement when they heard Zhao Yao's explanation. As awakened supercats, they were all concerned with their individual powers. Any word on improving their strength and power would definitely get their attention.
However, they were skeptical as to whether this golden fluid was truly capable of enhancing their strength and powers.
"Increase my strength?" Ares asked with a look of disbelief, "Why are you doing this for us?"
"You guys are too weak! You might not have what it takes to overcome the remaining challenges I have in store for you if you remain like this. Hence, I decided to endow you with this!" Zhao Yao continued, "I have decided to start with you! After swallowing the Essence of God, you will immediately receive a boost in strength!"
Ares stared hesitantly at this unknown golden fluid floating in front of him. He recalled the atrocities that Zhao Yao had committed all these while and doubted if it was truly as effective as Zhao Yao had described. Ares suspected that there was going to be some side effects as well.
However, he had no choice. He stared at Lucifer, Fūjin, Rakshasa, and Gaia in the distance.
Lucifer was frantically shouting via their shared consciousness, "Ares! Do not eat it! You have no idea what tricks this guy has up his sleeve!"
Fūjin shouted, "Boss, let me eat it! You should not take this risk!"
Ares simply rolled his shoulders and laughed, "I am your leader. At this critical juncture, I bear the responsibility to consume this."
As he spoke, he stared at the fluid as if he was staring death in its eyes. He stretched opened his mouth and swallowed the fluid in one go.
In the real world, Zhao Yao was carefully dripping the blood on his fingers into Ares's outstretched mouth.
Ares could only feel the liquid flowing down the back of his throat and into his stomach. Suddenly... Suddenly, the sensation had disappeared.
On the other hand, Zhao Yao was beaming from ear to ear as he stared at the contents of his BOOK. He had finally added the fourth cat to his BOOK – Ares.
Pet(4/4): Ares
Level:lv1 (0/10)
Loyalty:60
Ability:Deflective Field- With his body as the epicenter, Ares can repel any sorts of matter from his deflective field
"Oh, his loyalty points is actually 60? I guess this is only attributed to him regarding me as God and not who I actually am. He does not even know my true identity."
At the same time, the main mission of his BOOK had reached level 4 and he received the 500X2 experience points for adding the fourth cat to his BOOK. Currently, the BOOK read lv4(1258/5000).
There was also a slight change to his main mission.
Main mission: Acquire new strength by adding new cats to the BOOK
Objective: Upgrade the BOOK to level 5 and add the fifth cat to the BOOK
Reward: 1000 experience points
Punishment: Nil
Staring at Ares's page on the book, Zhao Yao took a deep breath and immediately pumped 1110 points into Ares and instantly upgraded him to level 4.
