Am I A God?

A satisfied smile played on Elizabeth's lips after she uploaded the three photos.

"Remember to like the photos," she cast her eyes on Matcha and Dust Ball.

In the following days, Zhao Yao spent one half of his time managing the cafe and the other in the extradimensional belly. He also made sure that the Sphynx continued to lend his skill to Baiquan.

He did the same for his sister. By combing his own skills with that of Dust Ball and Elizabeth, he could compel the Sphynx to share his skill with Zhao Xue too. Like Baiquan, she put in the effort to train and become more powerful.

The bond between Zhao Yao and the supercats had grown stronger with time.

The belly had become an excellent environment for them, what with a fancy room dedicated to smoking catmint and another lined with computers equipped with all kinds of games and movies. A variety of canned and dried food was available in the pantry. Comfortable pet beds and kitty towers were scattered in every corner.

It may be Dust Ball's belly, but it was paradise.

With so many supercats living their days out indulgently here, Zhao Yao did not have to work as hard to earn experience points. He received a couple hundred just based on fulfilling daily missions.

At the end of a week, he had accumulated 10 diamonds. The Book has also transformed to Level 5 (2,128 / 10,000).

In the real world, a clowder of cats was gathered in a large circle. Matcha, Elizabeth, Mango, and Dust Ball were in the crowd too.

Two human figures were in the middle of the circle. They were darting toward and away from each other swiftly. Loud blasts could be heard whenever they exchanged blows.

After a particularly thunderous clash, the two stood a few meters apart from each other.

Zhao Yao shook his fist.

"Jesus. You're almost as strong as me now. Your training is really paying off," he commented.

"I guess," Baiquan smiled sheepishly, "It's all thanks to the Sphynx's power. It's too, well, powerful. I just train a little each day, but the results are amplified. I feel stronger."

In a short week, Baiquan's had visibly bulked up. The curve of muscles could be seen on his arms. Even his shoulders looked broader than before.

The look he was giving Zhao Yao, however, was far from his masculine physique. There was an unsettling gentleness in his eyes that made the hairs on the back of Zhao Yao's neck stand.

"What's wrong with this guy? He's acting a bit off recently," Zhao Yao thought to himself.

He pretended not to notice the weird gaze and continued speaking.

"Your strength and speed are not worse than mine. What you need to do is train your reflexes and agility. Do that and you'll be on par with Superman soon."

"Okay," Baiquan nodded his head meekly, "I've been eating more now that I'm getting stronger though."

"That's to be expected. Don't worry, eat whatever you want. It's worth it. With your physical strength and invisibility, the Muscle Society won't stand a chance.

The Sphynx cat studied the two men from the corner of his eyes. He smirked when his gaze landed on Baiquan.

After Zhao Yao sent Baiquan away, he turned to his captivated cat audience.

"Alright, time to test out our supercat armor!" he announced.

The supercat armor was Zhao Yao's idea. It was a battle tactic he devised to defeat the Muscle

Society.

He had learnt a lot about the cats and their abilities during the time he spent in the belly. He had found a way to maximize their combined powers for optimal impact.

"Activate regeneration!"

There was a flash in his eyes when he switched to Lucifer's power of rapid healing.

The Sphynx cat raised his head to peer in Zhao Yao's direction.

"What's that imbecile up to this time?"

Zhao Yao raised his right arm.

"Assault Arm!" he yelled.

Fujin let out a loud meow, then leaped onto his right hand.

"Assault Arm, fire!"

A loud boom sounded as Fujin's hair lifted from his body and stood on its ends. He had unleashed a torpedo of wind that rocketed towards a tower of cardboard boxes, which exploded into smithereens.

Zhao Yao then raised his left arm.

"Electric Arm, let's go!"

That was Uncle Egg's cue. He meowed before racing forward, then held onto Zhao Yao's hand like Fujin did.

In that moment, Zhao Yao's left fist was encircled by a ball of cackling electricity.

"Defence Shield, go!"

Ares rolled his eyes. He was as indifferent as his friends were excited. He sashayed towards him, then climbed up his leg and landed on his chest.

Ares activated his defensive shield, which covered Zhao Yao, as well as the three cats that were on him.

The shield repelled external forces and kept everything within together. It made sure that the cats could be safely balanced on Zhao Yao.

He raised his index and middle finger, which were pressed against each other.

"Funnel swords, let's launch!" he exclaimed, pointing his fingers into the air.

"Weirdo," Ares pursed his lips.

Regardless, he manipulated his force fields to form seven invisible swords that surrounded them.

Zhao Yao looked at the rock that he had lugged here beforehand.

"Fire!" he shouted.

In the next moment, the swords darted towards the ill-fated rock, smashing it into tiny pieces in no time at all.

"And now, let's go into Stealth Mode."

Roly Poly climbed into Zhao Yao's back, into the protection of Ares' field. He then activated his power to make everyone invisible.

A few seconds later, an explosion could be heard from another stack of cardboard boxes. It was as if an invisible giant was on a destructive rampage.

"Reveal Human Form!"

In an instant, Zhao Yao's physical form was revealed, but the supercats remained undetectable.

"Let's cast an illusion!"

Elizabeth leaped gracefully onto Zhao Yao's right shoulder. She transformed his appearance from normal human geek to a futuristic warrior dressed in shining armor.

"Now, Diversion Protection!"

Dust Ball was already perched on his left shoulder, jaw wide open.

"Okay, this is just a dress rehearsal. No need for the real thing," Zhao Yao said, "When we launch this, you'll swallow our opponents into the extradimensional belly."

While Zhao Yao looked epic, he was actually covered in supercats. There was a slight dip in his right shoulder, which was where Elizabeth stood.

"Lizzie's getting heavy. I might have to watch her food intake more closely," he mused.

"Okay, time for the finale. The closing act. Our final test. Cannon from Hell!"

No cat approached or climbed onto Zhao Yao at this point. Instead, he moved forward and lifted Mango, whom looked up at him with an innocently sweet expression.

Zhao Yao put the confused cat into the Sphynx's cage.

The Sphynx was equally confused. He stared at Mango, who stared back dumbly.

"What the hell?"

"Hell is right. Cannon from Hell, fire!" Zhao Yao ordered.

With that, Elizabeth activated her power of perfect illusion. Poor Mango could now feel an overwhelming pain in his tummy that made his paws curl.
