Am I A God?

With Gaia’s power activated, Zhao Yao’s body instantly passed through the layers of concrete beneath him effortlessly. The earth, soil, and cement were just like fluid brushing across his body. Not only did they allow him to speed through with no resistance, they even propelled him forward.

Zhao Yao still remained in his original form: the headless horseman draped in his black robes.

“Even though our objective is underground, but where exactly is it?”

After slightly more than ten minutes of futile search, Zhao Yao could not help but furrowed his forehead slightly, “This place is huge! Where am I supposed to start my search?”

Uncle Egg raised his paw in the air and commented, “I can detect its presence.”

“Huh? Really?” Zhao Yao stared at Uncle Egg in amazement before concluding, “This concerns the electrical system. On the other hand, you have the power to control electricity. Furthermore, the person who stole this electricity would wield a similar power as well. It makes sense that you are able to detect its presence.”

With his eyes shut, Uncle Egg nodded his head and continued, “Yes. I can sort of feel an intense yet volatile force in a distance. It seems to be coming from the north-east direction.”

“Wow, is it really that accurate? Can he actually detect the minute changes in the electric field or the magnetic field?” Zhao Yao decided to take a leap of faith and proceeded in the direction Uncle Egg pointed to.

Five minutes later, Zhao Yao craned his neck slowly from the surface of the earth. He looked at his surroundings but was greeted by a piece of barren land. With his brows knitted together, he asked, “Uncle Egg, did you just randomly point in a direction?”

A similar frown appeared on Uncle Egg’s face as he lamented, “I think my senses have deteriorated with old age. I’m sure my precision and accuracy would be far better if I had superior catmint.”

Dust Ball heard Uncle Egg’s words and knew exactly what idea he was hatching. She threw Uncle Egg a death glare before threatening him, “Old man, if you ever dare to take away my catmint, I’ll make sure that’s the last thing that you ever do.”

In reality, the supercats inside the belly had long noticed the catmint Dust Ball had been busy attending to.

Under the illumination of Light of Creation, the catmint produced an aroma that cannot be compared elsewhere. Uncle Egg had long set his eyes on these mouth-watering catmint. However, he had no opportunity to steal it with Dust Ball guarding it 24/7.

Uncle Egg could only let out an awkward laugh when he heard those threats. He looked towards Zhao Yao and said, “It’s natural for old cats like me to be forgetful. Catmint is an ideal supplement that would allow me to think fast and think clear. It would even improve my sensory skills..”

Bam!

Within a split second, Zhao Yao had already grabbed a handful of catmint and stuffed it down Uncle Egg’s throat. Dust Ball could only look on with despair.

Zhao Yao asked, “Are you feeling better now?”

“Hmph…” Uncle Egg chewed and chewed as the fragrance and flavors exploded in his mouth. A contented smile appeared on his face as he whispered, “You still have to travel southwards a little more.”

….

Meanwhile, ten shadows were darting across an underground cable duct.

This team was led by Lin Chen and comprised of government apostles with the power of extreme speed. The naked eye would not even be able to notice their presence because of their speed.

Suddenly, everyone came to a standstill.

Lin Chen took a glance at the monitor of a surveillance system before instructing his team, “Everyone, be on your toes. We are near our objective.”

One of his subordinates looked towards him and asked, “Captain, did that guy try to escape again?”

Lin Chen shook his head. The surveillance system in his hands could accurately detect any changes in the surrounding’s magnetic field, identifying the target’s location and presence.

Despite their agility, the opponent still managed to slip right through their fingers during the past few missions.

For some unknown reason, the opponent did not escape this time around. Lin Chen felt something amiss as a shiver ran down his spine.

“Everyone, be careful. Remember to check your equipment and supplies.”

Their arms swept across their bodies before revealing an entire arsenal of weapons, including guns coupled with anesthetic bullets, large-caliber pistol, and even automatic rifle. Knowing that the opponent wielded the power of electricity, they even donned on an insulation suit.

The anesthetic bullets were specially reserved for the supercat. Preserving the lives of the supercat was far more important than killing the enemy.

The pistol and rifle were saved for the apostle. Even though their powers could come in a myriad of forms, most apostles remained extremely defenseless in the face of lead.

Half a minute later, their eyes were blinded by a dazzling beam of light. They had arrived at a gigantic underground bunker which was the source of the dazzling light. The blinding light began flickering incessantly in front of them.

“You guys have arrived far earlier than I expected.”

Lin Chen and his team swept their heads towards the source of the voice simultaneously. A man, floating in mid-air, welcomed them by spreading his arms in the air. His body was surrounded by bolts of current circulating him at warp speed. The currents punctured the air, producing a harsh grating noise. They looked just like the dragons from Lin Chen’s position.

Everyone realized just how dangerous this apostle was judging from this scene alone. A vast amount of energy was required to create this astounding scene. The insulation suit would not hold a candle to this man.

Lin Chen and a few other subordinates were the first to react to the situation. Instinctively, they whipped out the pistols from their holsters and swung their rifles forward. Ten firearms pointed straight at that man’s position before a rain of bullets landed on him. Normally, this could instantly shred any man to pieces but somehow all the bullets deviated from their trajectories, missing the target.

“How naughty,” The man replied in his broken Mandarin. He pointed his index finger at Lin Chen before muttering, “Piu.”

A jolt of electricity shot out of his fingertips and went straight for Lin Chen’s team.

“Spread!” Lin Chen had already reacted the moment the man spoke. Everyone sprang in all directions, narrowly escaping the wraths of his power.

Immediately, Lin Chen’s team had already gathered themselves before commencing their next onslaught of attack. Bullets poured out of their weapons but all of them were thrown off-course by the influence of the magnetic field. None of them even hit him.

The metal casing of the anesthetic bullets rendered them completely futile by his power.

The man revealed a devilish smile when inundated by these useless attacks, “Apostles of Jiangmen City, are you really that weak?” Jolts of electricity continued shooting out of his fingertips as he sent them scrambling in all directions like rats.

Lin Chen sniggered, “I’ll listen to you if you actually manage to escape from us.”

Even though they could not break past the opponent’s defense, the opponent’s reaction and speed also failed to catch up to them. All they had to do was to buy time for their reinforcements to appear.

The man could only laugh when he heard Lin Chen’s insolent words. Using his broken Mandarin, he continued, “Chinese people … do you even know … how fast light travels?”

The next moment, a giant beam of light descended from the ceiling before enveloping the bunker. A thunderous boom quickly followed behind before as an irksome stench flooded the room.

One single large-scale lightning attack was enough to send the apostles crashing to the ground.

Evidently, the electric charges released had successfully punctured the air particles and pierced through their insulation suit. However, it only managed to paralyze them due to the low voltage.
