Charred ground desecrated the place as plumes of smoke spiraled into the sky. It was horrific.
Surrounded by the four elements encircling him, Yue Shan floated in mid-air as if he were a G.o.d. His eyes peered down at the burning crater beneath him as he sighed, "Dead already? Headless horseman?"
A blinding beam of light streaked across the sky as Explosive Man appeared right next to Yue Shan. Bursts of flame continued to shoot out from his feet as he traversed the vast sky. Explosive Man had turned into a real-life Iron Man.
"Weak! This simply means that this man has fallen behind the times!" Explosive Man muttered, "For years, I trained relentlessly in hopes of teaching him a lesson. Never did I expect him to lose to a bunch of army gimmicks. Weak."
Lin Chen had also reappeared in the battleground. He had only managed to escape by the skin of his teeth on account of his extreme speed and the army"s intervention. With the result of the military bombing staring straight at him, he commented, "I must admit that his offensive and defensive skills are strong. However, he is simply too slow. Faced with an attack of such scale, he can only clash against it head-on. It"s no wonder that he died in their hands."
Li Li, the Cat King of the South, was encapsulated within the body of a water monster as she slowly sauntered towards the battleground. Scenes of the scorched earth and ruins left behind zoomed past her eyes. She thought, "I never expected the government to stoop to such means. At this rate, even the bodies cannot be recovered."
Suddenly, a white figure whizzed past Li Li"s eyes as the object slowly descended on top of the water monster"s head. The white figure was none other than the Cat King of the East, Milk.
This cat was responsible for endowing Lin Chen with his extreme speed. Based on government"s record, Milk was the fastest supercat around and hence the rightful Cat King of the East.
Milk tried his best to suppress the yawn as he asked, "Tsk, why did you have to call me for reinforcement when it was settled so easily?" With that said, Milk had already disappeared, leaving behind a whiff of smoke. No living creature could possibly keep up with Milk. He was simply too fast. Even Lin Chen couldn"t.
At the same time, hordes of apostles had started to stream towards the battle scene. The ruins lying in front of their eyes baffled them as chatters broke out amongst them.
"Is the headless horseman really dead?"
"Hmph, I bet any of us here are more than capable of taking him down in this day and age."
Many apostles and supercats who craved for a stronger and more lethal power populated the dream world. Their prowess wielded in the dream world was umpteen times stronger than those in the real world.
While the ma.s.ses were all absorbed in their discussions, Explosive Man"s bellowing laughter caught all their attention, "The headless horseman is already dead. Now that everyone is gathered here, isn"t this a perfect opportunity for us to fight it out and declare who is the strongest amongst us all?"
With that said, he slid a condescending glare towards Yue Shan who continued to float in mid-air. The arrogance in Explosive Man"s eyes was enough to make anyone"s blood boil.
However, Yue Shan kept his mouth shut. He didn"t even bother to look at Explosive Man. Suddenly, a wave of immense force swept towards Explosive Man, leaving him no time to respond. A thunderous boom exploded into the surroundings when Explosive Man"s body was smashed mercilessly against the ground.
Yue Shan answered coolly, "What makes you think that you"re deserving of a fight against me?" He let out another sigh as he stared at the ruins beneath his feet. Immediately, he had disappeared, leaving the ma.s.ses in a state of confusion and fear.
After settling the troublesome apostle, the purple cat thought that it was finally time for a break. However, he was wrong. Suddenly, his eyebrows shot upwards as he realized, "Hmph, someone was left out of my dream." He could acutely detect an individual completely unaffected by his ability despite how much he focused his power on the target.
Immediately, he began by closing his eyes before he disappeared into a body of purple smoke, evaporating from the dream world.
At the same time, that same body of purple smoke spiraled out of Zhao Yao"s apartment. The purple smoke began to contort into the shape of a British Shorthair. This was the cat responsible for controlling all the NPCs (non-player characters) in the dream world.
"Hmph, based on the data collected, the individual who has completely disregarded my power should be hiding somewhere here." Nightmare Cat said as he made his way through the unconscious bodies strewn across the floor. A smile tugged at his lips as he muttered, "All soundly asleep. Where is that obnoxious one …"
He began his inspection on Dust Ball. A pool of purple fumes, which was invisible to the naked eye, poured out of his mouth before entering Dust Ball"s head. Immediately, Nightmare Cat could see everything in Dust Ball"s dream state.
Currently, Dust Ball was fast asleep in the middle of a borderless catmint field. With her body scrunched into a ball, a wide grin remained plastered on her face, just like those drunkards found on the streets.
Nightmare Cat scowled at this sight and muttered with a voice of disdain, "Just another useless catmint addict. What a boring dream." From there, Nightmare Cat continued with his inspection and realized that everyone was happily absorbed in their dreams. Nothing seemed wrong.
At this moment, a loud meow echoed from a corner of the room as Mango appeared from his toilet. His eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with excitement when Mango stared at this cat which looked exactly like him.
However, Nightmare Cat did not share the same excitement as Mango. Instead, he responded by sliding him a condescending glare before grumbling, "This fool! He stinks of p.o.o.p and pee!"
Meow! Mango let out another meow before das.h.i.+ng straight towards Nightmare Cat with a wide grin on his face. He was excited to meet a new friend who looked just like him!
"Stop! Stop coming to me!" Nightmare Cat roared as he watched the filthy cat sprinting towards him. He threw his paw over his nose as he whined, "Get lost, you smelly piece of s.h.i.+t!"
However, Mango was completely indifferent to the insults. Instead, he began to run faster and faster as his paws slid across the granite floor. It seemed like Mango was flying towards his "new friend".
"Tsk, just another ordinary cat who can"t even speak?" Nightmare Cat muttered as he twirled the whiskers in his paw.
However, seeing that the smelly cat was not about to stop, Nightmare Cat had no choice but to activate his power, "Go to sleep!"
The same purple fumes, which were invisible to all except Nightmare Cat, began to spread from his mouth and towards Mango. Instantly, the entire body of purple fumes had been absorbed into Mango"s body.
However, the image of Mango instantly collapsing to the floor did not happen as he had expected. Instead, Mango simply froze for a moment before he started to jump up and down again. Mango then pounced towards Nightmare Cat before sending a flurry of licks across his face.
"D*mn it, how did this stupid cat manage to resist my power even in such close proximity?" Nightmare Cat could feel the disgusting saliva slathered all over his face as anger swelled up in him. In a fit of anger, he roared, "How dare you try to lick me? How dare you try to make me your subordinate?"
He then stretched open his tiny mouth before exerting every ounce of strength within him to vomit a giant body of purple fumes. The fumes enveloped Mango"s body before he absorbed it in one clean breath.
To Nightmare Cat"s shock, that stupid cat was totally indifferent to it! Instead, he reached his paw forward before stuffing it down his outstretched mouth.
"Oh my G.o.d! What"s that smell? When was the last time this cat showered?"" Nightmare Cat almost went unconscious from that putrid smell. He struggled relentlessly, in hopes of pus.h.i.+ng this stupid cat away from him.
However, Mango"s entire weight was weighing down on him, rendering his struggle futile. In Mango"s eyes, this was just another game as he continued to trample over Nightmare Cat"s face with his filthy paws.
