Chapter 1027: AmbushTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhao Yao nodded and said, “Tell the truth as it is. Don"t feel pressured to do it. Oh right, about that Black Phoenix… Throw shade at him like your life depends on it.”
He thought to himself, “It would be too troublesome if I have to come out by myself every time to maintain popularity and attention. Having a bunch of marketing accounts and an army of fans is not too bad of an idea.”
He said to Doll, “Next, you will cooperate with him and share his post a billion times with five billion likes. Make this the trending topic across all the platforms there are out there. Make sure it hits the No. 2 trending spot at least a thousand times.”
When the middle-aged man raised his head, he realized that Zhao Yao had already disappeared.
Outside the room, Zhao Yao contacted Doll and asked, “Where"s that Black Phoenix at?”
Doll replied, “Let me look it up…”
Zhao Yao said, “Prepare a camera. I will need to live stream in a moment.”
Doll asked curiously, “Huh? Why would you need to live stream?”
“Of course I need to,” Zhao Yao retorted indignantly. “What"s the point of beating the sh*t out of him but I don"t live stream it? How will I become famous like that? How can I act cool without that?”
In a villa in California, United States.
“Haha, this is ridiculous.” A long-haired young man lay on the sofa, scrolling through his phone as he said, “The news of me dueling with Zhao Yao suddenly spread like wildfire. I am even more famous in China now.”
A golden-haired young lady said at the side, “Do you want to seriously consider dueling with Zhao Yao? Anyway, whether you win or lose, your popularity will still rise by a huge margin.”
Black Phoenix wagged his finger and smirked as he said, “There"s no rush. I will go and challenge him when my abilities become stronger. If I want to fight, I would definitely want to win. Or else what"s the point of picking a fight?”
As he said that, he turned to a multi-colored cat at the side and said, “Isn"t it, Oliver?”
The multi-colored cat meowed a few times. Behind that cat, there were three other cats lying on the sofa sleepily.
These four cats were the source of Black Phoenix"s confidence. Each of them had powers that were beyond Black Phoenix"s imagination. It revolutionized his understanding of superpowers.
It was also with their help that Black Phoenix could challenge the various strong apostles that were out there, even Zhao Yao.
The multi-colored cat blinked a few times as he asked the other three cats, “Why don"t we just attack Closers World? How much longer must we wait?”
Giggle, who possessed the body of a blue cat, said to him, “If we attack Closers World directly, it is tantamount to battling with the Awarenesses of thousands of people. With Zhao Yao controlling the game, it will be a huge disadvantage against us.”
These four cats shockingly turned out to be Giggle and three other comrades he had found. The three other cats came to Earth precisely for the purpose of dealing with Zhao Yao and s.n.a.t.c.hing Closers World.
However, Giggle, who had battled with Zhao Yao before, knew that he was not an easy opponent.
According to the information they had gathered, Zhao Yao seemed to have gained control of Closers World and continued to operate the game.
Hence, Giggle decided not to forcefully attack Closers World and clash with Zhao Yao head on in the game itself. Rather, he opted to seek out the other party in the real world and ambush him with the help of the three other cats. Once they had defeated him, they would then reclaim Closers World.
However, after Zhao Yao had concealed his ident.i.ty, they were unable to find him for a brief period of time.
Hence, they decided to use Black Phoenix to lure Zhao Yao out and ambush him.
A white cat asked, “I already controlled a few guys to spread the rumors online. However, Zhao Yao didn"t come and find Black Phoenix at all. Are you sure he will really come?”
Another black cat said, “Being the strongest man in this whole primitive planet, his capabilities surely surpa.s.ses that of others. He might just ignore these rumors and not seek out Black Phoenix at all.”
“No,” Giggle replied confidently, “This petty… selfish… shameless b*stard will definitely come.” He scoffed, “But never would he imagine that there would be four of us supremely strong supercats waiting to ambush him by Black Phoenix"s side. Once he reveals himself, the four of us will strike together. He will definitely lose.”
Giggle and the three cats were very confident of their plan and so was Black Phoenix. “Last Sat.u.r.day I defeated the Supersonic a.s.sa.s.sin. My ranking should rise to the top three soon enough. Once I am more accustomed to this power, I will surely be able to defeat Zhao Yao.”
However, defeating Zhao Yao is only the start. With this power, I can completely control all the governments in the world and reign as the ultimate emperor of Earth.”
Just as Black Phoenix and Giggle were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence thinking about the bright future ahead of them…
Zhao Yao stood behind the dimension portal atop the villa as he slowly moved inside the villa.
He took a look at Black Phoenix first before turning his gaze to the four cats on the sofa.
“LV 29, LV 25, LV 20 and LV 23.” Zhao Yao"s eyes scanned across the heads of the four kittens. “Is that Awareness? Where did these four alien cats come from? The levels on their heads are so high, yet they"re pretending to be earthling cats? Are they trying to ambush me?”
Zhao Yao moved the dimension portal as he paced back and forth between Black Phoenix and the four cats.
“Luckily the Cat Prince Costume absorbed the skills from Wheatley"s father. I shall cut off your escape routes first.” As he said that, Zhao Yao activated the power of Time Freeze.
In the world of Time Freeze, the Level 49 power of Awareness emanated and spread out in all directions from the dimension portal, filling up the whole room.
Dimension Seal!
When time resumed its flow, 100 square meters of the Awareness Dimension had been temporarily sealed.
Zhao Yao, who had the power of Time Freeze, did not care about hiding his ident.i.ty. He unleashed the Level 49 power of Awareness with no qualms, instantly inciting a reaction from the four cats.
Meow!
As the meowing sounds rang out one after another, Giggle and the three cats tried to activate the power of Dimension Travel, but their bodies actually reappeared the moment it faded away.
“What a strong power of Awareness!”
“Who"s using the Dimension Seal power?!”
Black Phoenix felt an immense pressure cras.h.i.+ng down all around him. As he was not aware of the levels of Awareness and the existence of a skill like the Dimension Seal, he immediately asked the four panicking cats, “What"s going on? Did something happen?”
After casting the Dimension Seal. Zhao Yao stepped out of the dimension portal. He looked at the four cats and said, “The four of you, are you guys from the Short Fur Tribe? Why did you guys come to Earth?”
Giggle stared dumbstruck at Zhao Yao who stood before them. He could feel an enormous presence imposing pressure emanating from him. He asked in bewilderment, “How can this be? You are Zhao Yao? How can you have such a strong power of Awareness?”
Zhao Yao just sat on the sofa in the living room and said, “I"m the one asking you guys the questions. Answer me as you should, or else, don"t blame me for being mean.”
The golden-haired girl by the side screamed, “Zhao Yao?! What do you want!?”
Black Phoenix stood in front of the golden-haired girl and said to Zhao Yao, “Zhao Yao, those rumors about the duel have got nothing to do with me. You found the wrong person. Leave my house this instant!”
Zhao Yao completely ignored the two of them. He only stared at Giggle as he twitched his nose. The Awareness surrounding them all around swept across the bodies of the four cats like countless tentacles. At last, he fixed his gaze on Giggle and said, “You feel really familiar… Are you Giggle?”
Giggle tried to put up a strong front as he shouted back, “Zhao Yao! You smell familiar too. Is this the power of Awareness of another cat from the Short Fur Tribe? You"re relying on another cat from the Short Fur Tribe?”
The other three cats" expression changed when they heard that as well. If another stronger cat from the Short Fur Tribe took control of Earth and Zhao Yao, it would spell trouble for them.
Zhao Yao"s gaze fluttered as he said, “So what? I can"t believe you actually didn"t die, and even brought some other cats here. Why, are you trying to s.n.a.t.c.h back Closers World?”
The communication between Zhao Yao and these cats were telepathic. To other people, it looked as if they were just staring down at each other intensively without speaking a word.
Seeing how Zhao Yao was so fixated on the cats and did not give two hoots about himself, Black Phoenix could not help but say, “Zhao Yao, are you even listening to me?! Leave my house immediately, or I will…”
“Shut up.” Zhao Yao casually pointed at Black Phoenix as the Deflective Field enclosed his mouth and eventually spread to his whole body, pressing him down on the sofa. “Sit still. It"s not your turn yet.”
