Bam!
Torrents of flame poured down on William as he barely managed to dodge them all.
With their relentless attack, William would have to thank his lucky stars just to escape with his life, let alone defeat them.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yu who was observing from the sidelines as she looked on with a worried expression, "Are we just gonna stand here and watch?"
In Zhao Yao"s mind, an individual profile of all six supercats was starting to form in his head. At the same time, he had to continue supporting William with his deflective field. If not for the deflective field jumping into William"s defense during the bouts of fire, lightning and shock wave, Wiliam would already have died.
Hence, Zhao Yao was stunned to hear Xiao Yu"s words. However, a pleasant surprise greeted him when he noticed the golden exclamation mark floating above William"s head. A faint smile tugged at Zhao Yao"s lips as he muttered, "We definitely must help him. However, you will stay here. I shall have the honors of doing so."
With a snap of his fingers, a wave of illusion had crashed towards William.
William, who was in the midst of escaping, heard a "ding" in his head. This was followed by a calm voice ringing in his ears, "Host is currently stuck in a dangerous position. Would you like to activate Ultimate Armed Super G.o.d Module?"
Those words were like music to William"s ears as tears s.h.i.+mmered in his eyes, "Yes! Turn it on now! Immediately!"
Just the name alone sounded incredible. William was so excited that he could feel his heart pounding rapidly against his ribs. His imagination ran wild as possible scenarios of his power flashed across his mind.
Immediately, he noticed a new function added to his G.o.d_system. It was a recharge module which remained inaccessible until now.
"What?" William was blinded with anger when he saw that preposterous b.u.t.ton. He froze for a split second which nearly costed his life when a huge rock came cras.h.i.+ng down.
"What the h.e.l.l is happening? All I wanted is to activate Ultimate Armed Super G.o.d Module, but why is it asking for a recharge?"
That same monotonous voice returned, "How can you become stronger if you refuse to recharge?"
Anger poisoned his veins as he erupted, "What"s the connection between getting stronger and recharging?"
The voice continued, "Firstly, you"ll be rewarded with the superpower hamper. It contains timefreeze, super strength, super speed, lightning, super-regeneration and other potent powers."
It was like a tantalizing dessert luring William towards it. An intense desire to simply relent and recharge rushed through him. He immediately clarified, "I"ll recharge. Now. Immediately. But how am I supposed to do that?"
The system replied, "Do you need me to teach you how to recharge? Simply switch on your phone and transfer the money."
"…" William had never expected such a simple method of recharging and was caught in a daze. He then continued, "However, I don"t have any reception over here for my phone."
Similarly, he began to suspect the entire matter. Why did G.o.d-system even require him to bank transfer money over? Something seemed amiss.
However, the system replied calmly, "The current system provides round-the-universe wifi for its hosts. The hosts are only required to turn on their phones and access the wifi provided."
Bam! Bam! Bam! Once again, William narrowly avoided all the attacks raining down on him. His head was covered in soot and dust from all the fighting and destruction. He immediately whipped out his phone and started searching for it. He actually found a wifi named zydashuaibi.
William was shocked beyond words, "Does this mean that G.o.d_system truly provides round-the-universe wifi for all its hosts?" Suddenly, he started to realize the sheer magnitude and pervasiveness of the system.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao was simply standing behind the extradimensional belly gate with the router held in his hand.
Because of the presence of the extradimensional gates, the extradimensional belly had been upgraded to a state where 24/7 electricity was supplied continually. One gate was purposefully erected at the cat café where extension cords and internet cables were extended straight into the belly.
Now, Zhao Yao simply stood right next to the gate with the router in hand. The gate would flicker continually as it followed closely behind William"s every action, providing him a strong supply of ceaseless internet.
Suddenly, the system"s voice once again rang in his head, "The pa.s.sword to the wifi is the same as the wifi"s name."
William instantly logged on to it as his body darted across the jungle maze. He had to continually sweep his head around to dodge the never-ending attacks. Fire, lightning, shockwaves continued pouring down on him as he screamed, "How am I supposed to recharge? Where am I supposed to transfer the funds to?"
This time, Zhao Yao was alerted to the arrival of a new mission on his mission panel. He was almost brought to tears when he saw the content.
Mission: You can only grow stronger by recharging
Objective: Save William after his recharge
Reward: 100 experience points will be awarded for every RMB 50,000 deposited by William
Punishment: Nil
"Hmph, Americans sure are kind-hearted. Not only do they give me money, they even give me experience points and help me search the entire island for cats."
Joy warmed him from within as Zhao Yao informed him of the relevant bank account details.
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted as the ground split into two. The soil and rocks morphed into sharp projectiles which rained down on William. Despite his best efforts at withstanding the attacks, William still fell to an incoming fireball as his phone was hurled into the air and crashed onto the ground.
The six supercats immediately rushed over and surrounded him in a circle.
"D*mn it!" William stared in despair at his phone which was lying just two meters away from him. His expression was filled with anger and regret. He was so close, so close to recharging the system. He was so close to that amazing superpower hamper. He was so close to reaching the pinnacle of strength.
William knew that it was all too late. The six cats were preparing to liberate him with their final attack when a blinding golden curtain descended from the sky, enveloping him from them.
William was flabbergasted, "This is …"
Once again, the voice rang in his ears, "This is the kryptonite dome. Recharging is the most sacred action in the universe, one that cannot be disturbed. When you are in the midst of recharging, you will be protected by the venerable kryptonite dome. You will be in a state of invincibility."
The "Power Up Card" enhanced deflective field s.h.i.+elded William from all the attacks. The six supercats were relentless as they continued to a.s.sault William with their barrage of attacks. Usually, these attacks could easily destroy any ordinary material. Yet, they were futile against the deflective field.
"Hmph, the results are just what I expected. The "Power Up Card" enhanced defective field is more than sufficient to withstand all six of their attacks simultaneously." Zhao Yao continued to experiment with his defensive capabilities while his fingers ran across Ares"s fur. With the power of the illusion, he whispered to William, "Host, kindly continue your recharging process."
William bit back a scream when he saw the kryptonite dome emerging from nowhere. His hopes were rekindled as excitement overwhelmed him, "My G.o.d, this G.o.d_system is truly insane! I never imagined such power to even exist! What the h.e.l.l is it? Is it a superpower? Or is it some alien technology? I must spend some time researching about it after I settle the things on the island."
Originally, William remained rather skeptical about G.o.d-system since hearing about the bank transfer. However, he was truly convinced by it now that he had seen the universe-wide wifi coverage and the kryptonite dome. His faith in the system was unwavering. Even though the bank account details seemed rather shady, William did not hesitate one bit and transferred the money over.
In the midst of the recharging, William was prompted, "How much would you like to recharge?"
"By starting off with USD 10,000,000, you will be rewarded with a superpower hamper which includes timefreeze, super strength, super speed, lightning, and super-regeneration."
"10,000,000?" William was furious, "You didn"t say that it was gonna cost this much!"
