Am I A God?

Zhao Yao looked at Matcha and the supercats and said, "All of you get out. Leave me alone."

Matcha and the supercats quickly ran outside and waited outside as they peeped curiously at the office.

Zhao Yao dissipated into wisps of smoke as he slipped into Maria's dreamscape.

…

Maria awoke on the sofa and gaped at Cat Wonderland's main door.

"Doesn't it feel like a long time?"

Maria had lost her memories of entering the Cat Wonderland. She hesitated for a while before entering Cat Wonderland.

Then she met Zhao Yao, who had resisted her capture and she controlled him using her superpower. Zhao Yao's enemies happened to appear at the same time and shot him to death.

Maria shook her head and left Cat Wonderland. She hurried to the airport and informed her two companions to meet at the airport.

Zhao Yao carefully synchronized Maria's movement, location and what she saw and heard in both dreamscape and reality. As Maria stood at the entrance of the subway, Zhao Yao dispelled her dreamscape gradually. He heaved in relief after she stepped into the subway and disappeared from his view.

"I guess the problem's solved. I'll wait until Diana has fully evolved and can do what she wants in Closers World or travel in the Awareness Dimension with ease, then I'll deal with the alien cats." Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, "I'll fake my death and it has to be authentic."

"Perhaps I'll construct my tomb."

…

Giggle lifted his head and said, "Dead?"

"Yes." Maria said, "Apologies boss, it's my fault. After controlling Zhao Yao, I didn't protect him and he was shot down by his enemies."

Giggle was doubtful and scanned Maria's awareness to ensure that she was not lying. He nodded and said, "Understood. You may go now."

Giggle felt strange about Zhao Yao's death and decided to send another group to investigate Zhao Yao's death.

…

After listening to Bai Quan's explanation, everyone was shocked.

"Zhao Yao's dead?!"

"Zhao Yao's finally dead!"

"I told you he would have an early death!"

"Hahahahaha!"

In the Cat Wonderland's kitchen, after listening to news of Zhao Yao's death, the Ivory apostles Midnight and Lang Gou hugged each other excitedly, their eyes full of happy tears.

Besides them, there was also Matsuo, who had come from Japan to set up his business in Jianghai but had encountered the notorious Zhao Yao and had had to close down his business and be in Zhao Yao's debt. He knelt on the ground and felt a sense of relief. "Finally… finally I don't have to repay my debt! There's hope in my pathetic life!"

Beside Matsuo was the youth, Faceless, who came from the northwestern region of China. He created the Mao Gang and started an enterprise dealing with supercats and immigration. He exclaimed, "My God! You've finally served justice!"

Midnight took a bottle of champagne, shook it and popped it open. He sprayed the champagne as he laughed heartily. "We are finally free!"

Lang Gou, Matsuo and Faceless indulged happily in the champagne shower. Lang Gou took off his waiter's uniform and said, "Zhao Yao! I'm no longer your slave!"

Matsuo and Faceless laughed loudly as they took off their uniforms. "We are free!"

Looking at them running around happily, Bai Quan shook his head with pity and could not help covering his eyes.

Zhao Yao slowly walked out behind Bai Quan and looked at the group of liberated slaves and said gravely, "What are you doing?"

The time slowed to a halt as Midnight and the rest put their uniforms back on and bowed to Zhao Yao as they said, "Sorry! Our bad!"

Zhao Yao looked very glum as he shook his head. "You've disappointed me. You're so happy after hearing of my death. Who would believe that I'm dead? From now on, you'll work in the Extradimensional Belly instead of Cat Wonderland."

Midnight said, "But… but we can't prepare meals in the Extradimensional Belly."

Zhao Yao said, "I'll bring the kitchen in and set up a Dimension Portal. You'll put the dishes at the portal entrance and I'll assign someone to deliver them here."

Midnight and his companions were crestfallen as Zhao Yao brought Bai Quan to another huge ballroom.

All the supercats were gathered in this ballroom.

Matcha stood on the stage and said, "Everyone, please stay silent."

"I'm announcing big news."

"Zhao Yao's going on a long vacation. All of Cat Wonderland will be managed by me…"

Matcha abruptly froze as he felt a strong wave of murderous intent and trembled. He knew that Zhao Yao was watching him covertly and he changed his tune. "Wrong… Cat Wonderland will be managed by Bai Quan…"

This was Zhao Yao's plan after much consideration. With his power and identity, it would be too unbelievable to announce his death. He intended to announce his vacation plan and a replacement manager as this was what a superpower organization would do to hide the death of their leader.

The supercats had to continue working in the Cat Wonderland to provide Zhao Yao with the monthly lottery chances and experience points. These silly cats were too innocent to pretend that Zhao Yao was dead and they would use the chance to create trouble.

Zhao Yao decided to hide his fake death with news of his vacation.

The supercats cheered when they heard the news.

"Yeah! Zhao Yao's gone!"

"Hahahaha, it's best if he never comes back!"

"I feel my fur getting shinier."

"I want canned food everyday!"

Zhao Yao looked glumly at the mass cheering. He gazed at Bai Quan and said, "Remember those who cheered loudest. Their work attitude are questionable. You have to supervise them closely."

Bai Quan smiled as he nodded. "I understand."

Half an hour later, Matcha, Roly Poly, Ares and the supercats who were on close terms with or contracted tbyo Zhao Yao, followed him as they entered the Dimension Portal into the Extradimensional Belly.

These supercats knew about Zhao Yao's situation. To prevent them from leaking the truth, he was settling them in the Extradimensional Belly and he barred them from work.

Zhao Yao made other arrangements like letting Bai Quan handle the explanation to the outside world about his long vacation and making him the only point of contact between Zhao Yao and the rest of the people.

Zhao Yao would also leave some evidence of his death by providing illusions and dreams to people so that their memories would reinforce his fake death.

"Almost done."

Zhao Yao returned to his Cat Island villa and lay down in fatigue. "If someone were to investigate the truth, they would suspect that I'm already dead."

"I'll stay on Cat Island to play the online game and help Diana evolve faster."
