Am I A God?

The effects of its powers were not limited to its growth in strength. Through its relentless training, the Sphynx cat had also obtained an unmatched speed and agility. Even its sense of sight, smell and hearing had been heightened to an unbelievable level.

Currently, its sensory skills were almost ten times as strong as Zhao Yao’s.

The Sphynx cat had redefined what it meant to be a cat through its perpetual training since it had awakened. Its strength had far surpassed what the human mind imagined possible.

Even with its monstrous strength, the sphynx was still extremely cautious and preferred not to reveal its identity. It would lurk in the shadows, and carefully observed its surroundings. It would only act in the dark, accumulate its strength and harvest its power from its apostles.

With its superior agility and dexterity, the Sphynx cat had successfully infiltrated the gym without alerting anyone to its existence. Initially, its purpose of the visit was solely to lend Fit Bro and his subordinates its superpower. However, during the process of sneaking into the gym, it had detected a new presence inside the gym with its superior sense of smell.

With its superb body control, it had crept up to Zhao Yao’s side and managed to land a fatal blow on him without him even recognizing its existence until it was all too late.

It was not stunned by the devastation of its single strike. That blow almost single-handedly killed Zhao Yao. The Sphynx cat simply stared coldly at Zhao Yao as he was writhing in pain.

Initially, Zhao Yao did not even recognize the severity of his injuries. However, a sudden searing pain erupted from his chest as a surge of blood gushed out of his mouth. At that point, he panicked.

This was the first time he had actually experienced this level of fear since earning his superpower. He knew that he would land at the gates of hell if he committed another mistake.

A new wave of blistering pain scorched through his body and flooded his mind. His chest began to rise and sink rapidly as Zhao Yao struggled to gasp for breath. The strength evaporated from his body and he knew that he was going to faint at any moment.

Matcha and Roly Poly crowded over Zhao Yao and began screaming at him at the top of their voice. Zhao Yao only chose to channel Matcha’s power because of his passive ability, Time Distortion.

Time Distortion, according to the description on his BOOK, allowed the user to bend the space-time dimension and endowed them the ability to traverse across time frames. However, in Zhao Yao’s eyes, the power only meant one simple thing- the ability to heal all injuries and revive the dead.

However, Zhao Yao dared not commit suicide even though the thought had crossed his mind. Hence, he had not tested the power until now.

Even though he had yet to put this power to the test, Zhao Yao had always preferred channeling Matcha’s power for this passive ability. In case someone managed to sneak an attack on him, this trump card would allow him to escape with his dear life.

At this moment, waves of pain and fear continued surging across his entire body, rendering him incapable of even moving. Left with no options, he immediately activated Matcha’s Time Distortion.

Originally, the Sphynx cat ambled forward in order to deal Zhao Yao the finishing blow. However, it was caught by surprise as Zhao Yao’s pupils suddenly constricted. The Sphynx cat immediately took a few steps back in response.

Within that split second, there was an almost palpable feeling of anger in the air which surged from Zhao Yao’s body.

“What happened? This apostle … I’m sure he was already on the verge of dying …”

While the Sphynx cat was still engrossed in its own thoughts, Zhao Yao had already levitated into the air. Zhao Yao slid it a death glare as a vein popped out across his forehead. Anger roared through Zhao Yao as his body shook with fear. His eyes were brimming with a mixture of emotions – fear, apprehension and definitely anger.

“I almost died …”

“No … ” Zhao Yao could feel the goosebumps popping all over his body as his hair stood on end. He thought, “No, I did die once already. It’s just that I had revived.”

Zhao Yao had never felt so emotional before as a flux of emotions swept over him. This was the first time he had ever encountered death face to face.

When Zhao Yao’s eyes met with the Sphynx cat’s eyes, a mixture of fear and anger overwhelmed him before instantaneously exploding into an outburst of strength.

Zhao Yao’s current behavior was similar to a soldier’s last fight in his dying breath or when a prey was struggling for its life when staring at its predator’s face.

“You want to kill me?” Zhao Yao screamed at the top of his lungs before he instantly tapped on the ‘Power Up Card’.

The ‘Power Up Card’ would provide Zhao Yao a much-needed power boost in a battle but it would cost him one diamond.

Zhao Yao had learned about this card’s effect since the day he could access diamond hall. However, he had never required to use it and was saving it for a life-threatening scenario. Previously, he had always thought that his power alone would be sufficient to defeat all his opponents.

However, at the current moment, Zhao Yao had been triggered by his near-death experience. Actually, fear might be a more accurate explanation for his current behavior. Zhao Yao instantly tapped on the card without hesitation as he activated his power with the strongest defensive potential. Deflective Field!

Only one thought ran through his mind at this moment. He wanted to annihilate the cat, who almost send him to the depths of hell, within the shortest time.

Bam!

Suddenly, Zhao Yao experienced an extraordinary amount of strength surging through his body all of a sudden. At the same time, a countdown timer had also appeared in his vision. The timer started counting down from ten minutes.

Zhao Yao who had activated the Power Up Card and focused all his attention on the deflective field. The field was instantly enveloped in a golden shield which shot out beams of golden light rays into the surroundings. The originally invisible deflective field had transformed into a golden dome in a mere second. Meanwhile, Zhao Yao, Roly Poly, and Matcha were safely hidden inside it. From the outside, you could only see their shadows hovering about.

“You want to kill me?”

“I suggest you go to hell first!”

“Go to hell, you piece of shit!”

His current retaliation stemmed from human’s inherent fear of death. He did not even bother contemplating about what power to use or what battle formation to adopt.

There was only one thing going through his head.

He wanted to bring it down using his strongest, craziest and faster ability. He just wanted to shred the sphynx cat into pieces.

Suddenly, the golden dome started morphing and transforming into human’s most instinctual and primitive weapon -the human fist.

The moment Zhao Yao unleased his golden deflective field, the Sphynx cat could clearly feel the anger emanating from him. Following Zhao Yao’s deafening battle roar, the golden fist came flying towards the cat and smashed into it.

Bam!

With its superb sensory skills, the Sphynx cat could detect the punch piercing through and crushing the air particles as it flew across the office. The cat retaliated with a thunderous meow. Instead of dodging or hiding, it decided to embrace the attack head-on. It bolted towards the punch and its body was encapsulated in a faint white wave. From afar, it looked like a missile charging against this blinding golden fist.

Bam!

The insane impact had instantly vaporized the golden fist. Likewise, the Sphynx cat was thrown into the air as its body slammed into two layers of solid concrete as it found itself in the basement. The attack had left a huge crater in the middle of the office.

Matcha stared dumbfoundedly at the scene and could hardly believe his eyes. He thought, “What the f*ck, is this Zhao Yao’s Bankai?”

Roly Poly was similarly taken aback by this monstrous strength, “I didn’t imagine his Bankai to be so strong.”

The Sphynx cat’s eyes reddened as the muscles all over its body began expanding at an extraordinary rate. With a deafening blast, it had launched its body against the golden figure.

Before the cat even managed to move out of the basement, the golden figure had already slammed it back into the basement.

Following another booming roar, dozens of golden arms appeared behind Zhao Yao. He looked exactly like the thousand-armed deity.

Anger poured out of Zhao Yao’s eyes as his body locked with rage as he continued pushing his deflective field beyond its limit.

“D*mn it, you still want to kill me? Go to hell, you son of a bitch!”

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

His golden fist flew across the ceiling like a meteor shower falling against the night sky. The golden fists collided with the steel column, gym equipment, tables, chairs and the pipes, blasting them into pieces. The lightning and air conditioning unit hanging in the ceiling crashed into the cat’s body.

Matcha’s body shook like a leaf as he muttered, “This is frightening. We can never afford to offend Zhao Yao in the future. This guy is scary when he is really angry.” Roly Poly, who stood by his side could only nod his head to Matcha’s words.

The three-storied gym looked like it had been flooded with a wave of bombs. Just the impact of the collision between the golden light rays and the air particles could have easily knocked an ordinary human unconscious.

With the huge crater in the middle of the floor, there was no more steel column to support the building. The gang of six immediately scurried to the corner and headed towards the stairs. Their heads were still groggy from the previous explosion when another thunderous boom exploded.

This time, the entire third floor collapsed and crashed into the second floor. However, the barrage of attacks by the golden fists did not stop, sending the sphynx cat further underground.

When the six of them turned their heads around to survey their surroundings, everything had disappeared. Following the ceaseless explosions which engulfed the place, all that was left were the debris from the destruction and the crater leading directly to the basement. From the layer of dust which accumulated in the air, a golden figure emerged from it, with thousands of golden arms behind his body
