Am I A God?

Zhao Yao"s eyes narrowed into hard lines as he observed the vivid lights shot out of Fish Ball"s body. Instantly, he had turned to Elizabeth"s power of control.

He felt as if he had plunged into a pool of quicksand the moment he activated the power. Every action and movement consumed so much energy. It felt like it would take eons before he could even complete a simple action.

Zhao Yao immediately withdrew control over Fish Ball. With his face scrunched into a scowl, he lamented, "Is it because he had turned into a sun? Even though I had already witnessed all sorts of weird things in this world, all of them still somehow abided to some basic rules. That is, that they must still conform to our innate impression of these objects.

Now that Fish Ball had turned into a gargantuan sun, his action and cognitive processing skills had consequently slowed down considerably. That"s because that is the way a sun would behave in Fish Ball"s eyes. Even if I managed to control it, the effects would be far too slow."

However, a sudden thought dawned on Zhao Yao, "Wait, there"s something wrong. Just now, the color change was so sudden and so rapid. Why? What"s happening?" Memories of Zhao Yao"s exchange with the gigantic Fish Ball started flooding his mind, "The change in emotions leading to a change in color projected? And the changes are instantaneous?"

This hypothesis seemed extremely probable. Hence, Zhao Yao decided to give it a go, "But what should I do to effect a change in Fish Ball"s emotions?"

Zhao Yao thought about is as a huge layer of deflective field wrapped around his body. Without a warning, the deflective field had bolted towards Fish Ball, slamming against him. However, Fish Ball was still the sun of this world and seemed totally unaffected by this attack. It was futile as the blue emergency lights continued to flicker from afar.

"A normal physical attack is totally useless against this fella."

Zhao Yao began to stroke his chin as he pondered, "If a physical attack is rendered useless, I shall resort to an emotional attack then. Hmph, what is this cat most afraid of?"

Zhao Yao"s eyes started gleaming with excitement the moment he thought about this question. With Elizabeth"s power of illusion, Zhao Yao had already appeared in front of Fish Ball"s eyes in the form of Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Yu" was floating in mid-air with her finger pointing straight at Fish Ball as she screamed angrily, "Fish Ball, what are you doing?"

Zhao Yao literally saw the sun tremble with fear the moment Xiao Yu appeared. As the words echoed in Fish Ball"s head, his color had instantly changed from the original blue to his current black and white. Obviously, the black color was created by emitting no light at all.

From afar, Fish Ball looked exactly like those photographs you would see in the obituary.

However, Zhao Yao did not stop there. With a curl of his lips, Zhao Yao tried his best Xiao Yu impersonation as he screamed, "What are you doing up there? Get the h.e.l.l down here! Right now!"

The trembling seemed to have intensified as scurries of wind blew across Jiangmen City. Consequently, the light radiated from his body also began to dim. Somehow, even the size of the sun started to reduce.

"Wow, that"s impressive. Just a few words from Xiao Yu is enough to make him shrink." However, that grimace did not disappear from Zhao Yao"s face as he reflected, "If I continue this scolding, will Fish Ball eventually revert to his original size? But a world without a sun is simply too scary! But is it enough to scare everyone off the dream world and return to the real world?"

Zhao Yao had never planned to save everyone using this approach. Hence, he instantly adopted for a new plan, "If continuous scolding can shrink him, which means the opposite would …"

Hence, a gentle smile began to spread across "Xiao Yu"s" face. Her earnest eyes looked towards Fish Ball as she apologized, "Fish Ball, I"m so sorry. This is all my fault! I shouldn"t even have scolded you."

These words were like steroids injected straight into Fish Ball"s body. Bit by bit, he began to enlarge. He even seemed to have regained his original brightness.

A sly grin appeared on Zhao Yao"s face as he muttered, "It works!"

Continuing his pretense, Zhao Yao put on the most dramatic expression he was capable of and shouted, "Fish Ball! You are so big and so bright! You look so handsome! Is it possible to turn even larger than this?"

Somehow, the rate of expansion managed to skyrocket further as the beams of light turned even more dazzling. The color had turned from the original lifeless white to a gleaming golden! Those golden rays reflected off his body made him the most impressive sun ever.

"You are so big! Fish Ball, you are wonderful! I love you!"

Expand! Expand! Expand! The solemn expression on Fish Ball"s face had long disappeared. Now, it was filled with happiness and pride.

Zhao Yao"s mouth had already turned into a wide grin as he stared at this rapidly-enlarging sun, "Good, continue expanding!"

Meanwhile, Nightmare Cat had always been on the sidelines watching the event unfold. Initially, he thought nothing of Zhao Yao"s actions. However, an alarm started ringing in his head when this gigantic sun"s expansion showed no signs of slowing.

"This stupid cat! You are the most stupid cat in the world! How could such a dumb cat actually exist in this world? Who would expand from just a few words of praise? D*mn it! I really shouldn"t have allowed this cat inside my dream world."

However, even Nightmare Cat didn"t have the power to just kill Fish Ball and expel him from this world. The strength of his power was dependent on the number of dreamers living inside the dream world. However, the precision of his control over the world would wane as the number of dreamers increased. Today"s incident was the perfect example to ill.u.s.trate this point. With tens of thousands of dreamers, his influence over the world was purely restricted to the NPCs.

While Nightmare Cat was still busy contemplating his strategy, Fish Ball had already expanded to a size which was simply frightening.

"Fish Ball, you are absolutely marvelous!"

"So cool! So smart! You can do it! 666 1 !"

"Fish Ball, you can turn even bigger than this!"

However, Zhao Yao was not satisfied as the scowl returned to his face. Even though Fish Ball had already turned to this gleaming golden sun which was at least 10 times larger than before, this speed was still too slow in Zhao Yao"s eyes.

With that, Zhao Yao could only resort to his secret weapon as he screamed, "Fish Ball! You are so powerful! From now on, you shouldn"t be my pet! Instead, I should be your pet!"

Instantaneously, the dazzling lights emitted became blinding to the eye. The rapid expansion was a few times faster than before. Fish Ball was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence and happiness. Now, he wasn"t even looking at "Xiao Yu". Instead, he was looking straight towards the sky.

"Ah! Master Fish Ball, you have turned so big!"

"Ah, I cannot take it. How is possible for anything to be so big? So bright!"

"Master Fish Ball, allow me to be your humble servant for the rest of my life. I will clean your s.h.i.+t forever.

The rapidly expanding sun had attracted the attention of all the dreamers in the world. Their eyes were filled with fear as the sun continued to expand and expand. Soon, the effects started spreading to the very infrastructure in the city. Buildings were set ablaze. Streets started collapsing onto themselves. Finally, the last straw was Fish Ball"s collision against the very surface of the Earth, destroying the city and dream world immediately.

Suddenly, Fish Ball felt a blanket of darkness enveloping his eyes as he woke up.

He turned his head around and saw Xiao Yu sitting there with that same confused look on her face. He screamed, "Xiao Yu, what are you waiting for? Help me to my bed now!"

Obviously, Fish Ball was still clueless as to what actually happened. He just saw Xiao Yu staring blankly at him when he typed out a string of words on his phone, "I almost forgot that you did not understand my language."

When the voice a.s.sistant"s voice echoed in Xiao Yu"s ears, she immediately swept her head around with fury pouring out of her eyes.
