A few days later, Zhao Yao remained seated at his usual spot in the café.
In the far corner of the café, Matcha was using his remaining internet time before the café opened for business.
With his nimble paws, he quickly tapped on the WeChat application and accessed Princess Qian"s contact. He stared at her profile picture solemnly and thought, "I guess I can never forget about this relations.h.i.+p. If devotion is a crime, I guess that just makes me a faithful criminal."
Roly Poly was behind Matcha as he scrutinized his every action with a look of disdain, "He"s just a dumb cat that thinks using his lower body and not his head." He looked on with anguish as he saw Princess Qian"s newly posted selfie on WeChat, he lamented, "If not for this devil who broke us up, I would have been in that photo with her."
Finally, Zhao Yao stood on his feet and started stretching his body. He thought, "Hmph, another week had gone by already. It"s time for me to train the five supercats again."
With this thought at the back of his head, Zhao Yao entered the cat toilet and disappeared into his extradimensional belly with a swirl.
Inside the belly, Gaia was still restrained by the ropes and its mouth was sealed with duct tape. It was lying on the floor like the salted fish in the markets.
However, this did not stop it from communicating with the rest. By using its consciousness, Gaia"s voice erupted in the remaining supercats" head, "It wasn"t me! I didn"t even make my last wis.h.!.+ Who gave you the rights to tie me up and seal my mouth? I want to eat! I want to watch Attack on t.i.tans! I don"t want to miss the last episode!"
"I don"t care if you are responsible for the incident or not, but G.o.d would appear anytime soon, and I want you to keep your mouth shut!" Ares demanded as its face turned crimson.
Suddenly, Ares realized that its vision was enveloped in darkness before it opened its eyes and noticed that it was inside a carriage of a train. It had no idea what had happened.
"Not bad, you are the first cat to wake up among all of them. You have potential," A black cat sn.i.g.g.e.red as it waved the pistol in its paws. From the looks of it, the black cat was a police cat.
"Who are you? Where am I at?" Ares was bewildered by its own predicament, "And why is a cat like you wearing human clothes? You are totally different from the rest of us!"
At this moment, the four remaining supercats cat had also started waking up.
"What happened?"
"Is this our new mission?"
"Is it the same as the previous one?"
"Is this black cat our enemy?"
"Stop looking around!" The black police cat pointed to its head and explained, "He must have implanted the memories in all your heads. Try to recall and understand what"s going on."
A minute of silence pa.s.sed …
Ares retorted, "He didn"t implant any sorts of memories in our head! I can"t recall anything at all!"
"This world that you are currently in is the G.o.d"s Realm. If you wish to survive, you have to complete the missions that G.o.d have a.s.signed you. This is neither a game nor a joke. Everything is real in this world. If you want to live, you have to complete the missions …"
"In the end, you still have to explain everything to us! There were no memories implanted into our head!" Ares shouted as a vein popped across its neck.
Lucifer was carefully a.n.a.lyzing the entire situation, "This is a new setting that G.o.d had created for us. It should be similar to our next mission. We will be able to return once we complete this mission."
Fūjin nodded its head in agreement, "Hmph, we should talk to this black cat and get a better understanding of our mission. G.o.d definitely has his reason for bringing us here."
The British Shorthair, Rakshasa, nodded its head in unison, "Maybe the objective of our mission would allow us to defeat our enemy and bring us back!"
Just when all the cats were engaging via their consciousness, a loud noise erupted.
Ha!
Gaia had pounced on the black cat and slammed it against the ground. It sat on the black cat"s belly and landed an avalanche of slaps against the black cat"s head.
"G.o.d"s Realm?!"
"Complete a mission?!"
"I think you are the enemy for our mission, and I will beat you to a b.l.o.o.d.y pulp and destroy you!"
The four remaining supercats stared in shock. Terror overtook their faces as they witnessed the scene unfold right before their eyes. When they finally reacted to what had happened, they immediately dashed forward and pulled Gaia away from the black cat.
"Let me go! I"m going to destroy this black cat! I"m going to complete the mission!"
Ares did not dare to make eye contact with the black cat and awkwardly mumbled a few words with its head lowered, "I"m so sorry, but there"s something wrong with this cat." As Ares spoke, it bent down and retrieved the police cap lying on the floor and returned it to the black cat.
"Thankfully, you"re not injured."
"Obviously I"m not injured! I am the most senior cat in the entire G.o.d"s Realm!" The black police cat wiped the blood off of its mouth and continued, "If I didn"t give this insolent cat a chance, I would have blasted him into pieces when he came charging towards me!" The black cat said as it spun the pistol in its paws.
"Yes, yes! We are so thankful for your benevolence!"
The black cat raised its brows and started touching its nose, "Why do I feel that there"s something wrong with my face?"
Ares stared at its slightly deformed face and shook its head awkwardly, "Nothing! There"s nothing wrong with your face! You look as good as new! There is no problem with your face at all!"
"Alright newcomers, there"s no time for us to waste on all these squabbles. Get ready to alight soon; I heard that this mission is particularly difficult."
Ares could not help but start sn.i.g.g.e.ring when the black cat turned its body around.
One giant word was printed on the black police cat"s back, Enemy.
"This is awkward!"
Ares raised its paws and gave it a slight shake. Immediately, claws as sharp as knives emerged. A vicious aura emanated from Ares"s body.
At the next moment, the five supercats had huddled together and launched a barrage of attacks on the black police cat. They finally heaved a sigh of relief when they saw its body slowly dissipate into a stream of white light.
"Hey, I only attacked that cat because I saw the word on its back!" Gaia retorted, "Why did the four of you stop me? Are you guys blind?"
The remaining cats just stared at each other helplessly. Somehow, they felt that this was a token mission with no actual purpose behind it.
The same thing happened again. Their vision was enveloped in darkness. Before they knew it, they were transported back to the container, and Zhao Yao"s voice erupted in the s.p.a.ce.
"You guys did a brilliant job! After the turmoil that you experience and the numerous obstacles that you overcame, you finally defeated your powerful opponent and had emerged before me."
"Powerful my a.s.s!" Ares was left speechless by Zhao Yao"s gibberish, "How is this difficult at all? We haven"t even been out for a full minute. Are you doing this just for the sake of creating a weekly mission?"
Lucifer circled the container and commented, "The size of the carriage was roughly the same size as the container."
Zhao Yao tried to disrupt their train of thoughts by his cough. Then, he immediately gave them a large bag of cat food and numerous freshly charged power banks. He declared, "This is your reward!"
Gaia looked on with contempt and asked, "Why is it x.x.xX brand again? I"m a little sick of this brand. G.o.d, can I …"
Wada!
Bam!
Following the thunderous explosion, Gaia had been thrown into the air and spun 360° before colliding against the steel wall of the container. The collision brought about a loud clank.
Ares slowly rested its paws back on the floor. The air particles were still somewhat distorted because of the remnants from Ares"s barrier which it used against Gaia.
Ares glanced at Gaia and saw it lying on the floor with both eyes rolled backward. It was even foaming at its mouth.
Ares nodded its head and commented, "Very good. We are now safe. We can carefully discuss and ask for a proper wish."
Lucifer walked towards Gaia and started sniffing its body. Lucifer hesitated before asking, "Is Gaia going to die?"
"There"s no way that Gaia is going to die," Ares replied nonchalantly, "We are cats, and we can even recover from a spinal injury."
"Now, it"s finally time for me to make my wish."
