Am I A God?

One punch. That was all it took to turn the monstrous skyscraper into rubble.

Moments later, shots of golden beams started shooting in all directions, pushing the rubble away. From the ruins, a person appeared. It was none other than Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao glanced at his mission panel and noticed the addition of a new mission.

Mission: Dream World!

Objective: Rescue everyone from their dream state

Reward: The experience points rewarded were directly proportional to the number of people rescued. The experience points were also capped at 2000.

Punishment: Nil

That same old smile returned to Zhao Yao’s face when he read the description. That was what he had been waiting for.

Suddenly, he noticed a somewhat familiar hypnotic flashing lights zooming towards him. It was the police. The policeman sprang down from their vehicles, with their muzzles pointing straight at Zhao Yao’s head. With fear splintering his heart, the policeman shouted, “Raise your hands! Behind your head! Stop moving!”

Zhao Yao obviously paid no attention to this insignificant NPCs. Immediately, that same beam of blinding light swept across a 300 meters radius, knocking all the policemen within it unconscious.

He glanced to his left and right before he decided on this particular rote. The sphere of golden beam followed him wherever he went. It was like a tsunami engulfing the entire city. Anything that came in contact with it was instantly destroyed. Buildings, towers or even skyscrapers collapsed the moment Zhao Yao went pass them.

This time, not only were the police involved. Even the military was roped in for this operation. However, Zhao Yao was completely indifferent to their attacks since he was hiding behind the extradimensional belly gate. Conversely, tens of victims would fall whenever the defective field swept past them. However, they weren’t dead. They simply woke up in the real life.

“That was scary!”

“For a moment, I really thought I was going to die!”

“That nightmare felt so realistic!”

At the same time, Zhao Yao had helped countless victims return to the real world. Again and again, that golden beam would streak across the sky before another building collapsed to the ground.

Zhao Yao simply walked through the streets like Godzilla. Nothing stood in his way, be it living or non-living matter. They were annihilated the moment they came within striking distance of Zhao Yao.

However, things were not as peaceful for those who were still stuck in the dream world.

Ah! Ear-splitting shrieks flooded the city as the victims ran around like headless chicken. Honestly, they had no idea where to go. Neither did they know the source of the destruction. In their head, running was simply a better choice than staying put.

Meng Hao noticed the frantic crowd but yet remained calm and composed. Instead, a smile crept up his face.

“Is it the headless warrior? I knew that my arch-nemesis would not have gone down as easily as that.”

Meng Hao was there when the headless horseman was seemingly annihilated in the battle. He saw it for himself. However, that was just another one of his trick. The headless horseman had returned and he was wreaking havoc in the middle of the city.

Meng Hao watched as he saw two skyscrapers colliding into one another before collapsing into ruins. He shook his head and muttered, “What a tragedy. You could have achieved greatness with that power, but you chose destruction. Now, I shall deliver you your own destruction and inherit the title of Jiangmen City’s strongest …”

As he spoke, the muscles and bones in his body began to mutate and transform in an unprecedented manner. He wasn’t just a human-beast hybrid. He even had a pair of bat’s wings, a scorpion’s tail, a mouth full of smilodon’s teeth and even layers and layers of hardened scales.

His huge frame was easily five meters tall. It was a monster brought straight out from the depths of hell.

“Two years of training! Every day, I did 50 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 sit ups, 2km run. And now, I’ve achieved perfection!”

With a flap of his wings, Meng Hao had already disappeared into the sky before nosediving straight towards a building.

This power was what Meng Hao had dreamt of. By training relentlessly over the past two years, he had acquired strength which even surpassed Sphynx Cat. He was even harder than diamond. His flying ability was just another icing on the cake.

“Found you!” A glimmer flashed across Meng Hao’s eyes as he located his objective floating in mid-air, hiding behind that extradimensional gate.

Before he could even make his first move, he heard a thunderous explosion coming from afar. It was as if a thousand nuclear explosions had simultaneously detonated together. Meng Hao raised his head and saw Explosive Man bolting towards him, with the roaring flame propelling him forward.

Explosive Man burst into a series of laughter, “Headless horseman! Let me show you the product of my two years of training! Don’t worry, I will not kill you immediately! I need some time to demonstrate the disparity in our strength!” Suddenly, a ring of flame erupted, encircling Explosive Man’s body.

“Look at me! Not only can I control explosions, I can even control the flames around me and increase their temperature to a staggering 10,000 °C. By combining this energy together …” Explosive Man clasped his palms together as a thunderous boom exploded. Amidst all the explosions, a pool of ions had materialized in his hands.

“Take this … the ionic explosion of the fiery emperor!”

Meng Hao stared dumbfounded at this scene, “Has this guy gone mad? To use this attack in the heart of the city?” Before he even reacted, Explosive Man had suddenly froze in mid-air. His lifeless body began to ascend towards the sky before it exploded into a spectacular display of fireworks.

“What happened? What kind of power is this?” More questions flooded Meng Hao’s head. Obviously, he had no idea that Zhao Yao had used Elizabeth’s power to gain control over his opponent’s body. However, he knew that the headless horseman was somehow connected to this anomaly.

Suddenly, Meng Hao noticed another dangerous presence lurking in the air. Immediately, a beam of white light streaked across an entire street. By the time Meng Hao had noticed his presence, it was already too late. The beam of dazzling light had already crashed straight into Zhao Yao.

However, by the time Meng Hao had fixed his eyes on Zhao Yao, the beam of light had already disappeared. Milk, with the power of extreme speed, had already vaporized into thin air after colliding with Zhao Yao.

“Another one dead already?” For the first time in a long while, Meng Hao felt his chest tightening with fear. Suddenly, he noticed Yue Shan, Li Li and a huge company of supercats and apostles streaming towards the headless horseman.

The four elements, earth, water, fire, and air, continued to encircle Yue Shan as he roared, “For the past 700 hundred days, I have poured my heart and soul to train and become stronger. I only have one goal and that is to defeat you. Currently, my psychokinesis power can even be extended to the molecular level, thus granting me control over the four basic elements …”

Meng Hao could feel the raw power pulsating through Yue Shan’s body. He was barely able to breathe when he saw the conviction in his eyes. Before he could even appreciate Yue Shan’s true strength, Zhao Yao had already activated timefreeze and rewarded Yue Shan with a series of punches. When time resumed, his body simply exploded.

…

Yue Shan instantly woke up as he set on his bed and observed his surroundings. Apparently, he was in a hospital.

He breathed a long sigh of despair, “D*mn it, I couldn’t even defeat him in a bloody dream! Stupid!”

“Ahh!”

Suddenly, another shriek punctured the air. Yue Shan turned his head around and saw Lin Chen sitting on his bed, “What the hell! For a moment I thought I was really dead!”

After some time, Inspector Ho returned and asked, “Are you guys finally awake?”
