Am I A God?

As the Cat God spoke, his body undulated and part of his back transformed into a large star map that showed the battle situation.

“They are not simply intruding and raiding. According to information from the battlefield, the Long Fur Tribe was building starports, stargates and strongholds.” He said grimly, “They’re occupying the planets they attacked.”

The war between the Short Fur, Furless and Long Fur Tribes lasted decades with sporadic fighting and stopping. The actions included raids for humans and resources or damaging each other’s power. It was rare to see occupation of planets and expansion of territories.

The power of the tribes were quite evenly matched. The Long Fur Tribe was unable to guarantee that they could continue winning so they did not spend resources constructing on the battlefield.

The Long Fur Tribe’s construction of infrastructure indicated they were occupying the planets that they had won.

The supercats in the hall frowned as it was bad news.

“This time, the scale of the war will be huge.” Whitehand Grandmaster said, “No one will be spared…”

The Short Fur and Furless Tribe were taken by surprise by the sudden brutal attack of the Long Fur Tribe. The Furless Tribe would lead the retaliation by traveling the Awareness Dimension to harass and collect information about the enemy.

The Short Fur Tribe required time to gather their forces and prepare for war.

The 12 families of the Short Fur Tribe were allocated different battle sectors. Wheatley’s family were assigned a specific location.

In the internal family meeting, as Wheatley’s combat prowess was not strong, she was not assigned specific battle missions. Instead, she was relegated to the reserve force.

Pi Pi sneered and said, “Father, Wheatley’s not participating in the battles. Why doesn’t she lend me her cat slave?” His gaze fell on Zhao Yao and he said, “I heard she has a powerful cat slave. Isn’t it a waste to put such a cat slave under her?”

Wheatley looked angrily at Pi Pi and said red-faced, “He’s my cat slave! You’ll not snatch him away from me!”

Pi Pi did not look at Wheatley. He gazed at his father and said, “Father, the enemy’s at our doorstep. We can’t afford to waste valuable resources.”

Wheatley looked at her father with a pitiful face as she was worried that Guang Yu would be snatched away. She would not have stories to listen to and no sanitary pads to use. What if Pi Pi refused to return Guang Yu, especially when he was extremely glib tongued.

Zhao Yao did not have Wheatley’s concern. He recalled Pi Pi’s malicious gaze and was worried that Pi Pi would try to kill him within a few days. Should he capture Pi Pi and teach him a lesson in the small black hut?

Wheatley’s father pondered hard as his tail wagged a few times. “Pi Pi’s right. Wheatley, you can’t be willful. This is war and victory’s more important. It’s a waste for Guang Yu to stay under you. Lend him to me for a period of time.”

“Ah?” Pi Pi was stunned. “Father, why…”

Wheatley’s father glared at him and said, “Guang Yu’s able to accept my superpower. Isn’t it more effective for him to stay under me?”

Pi Pi gritted his teeth and glared unhappily at Zhao Yao.

“But…” Pi Pi turned to look at Guang Yu. “He’s a new cat slave and was not properly trained. His loyalty’s not as dependable as Red Sun. It’s dangerous to endow him with too much superpower.”

“I’ll use him after a complete awareness distortion…”

Zhao Yao felt his hair standing on end as he observed Wheatley’s malevolent gaze.

“He’s trying to control me completely…” Zhao Yao’s eyes flashed. “I can’t use brute force. The War Planet has a lot of powerful supercats. I’ll be in trouble if they attacked me. And that powerful…”

He turned his gaze to the dazed Short Fur Sage Grayley.

He was daydreaming throughout the entire meeting but nobody dared to show disrespect to him.

During Pi Pi, Wheatley and her dad’s conversation, everyone were more or less focused on Zhao Yao.

Ya Xing, who was deep in thought, looked at Zhao Yao and frowned. “He… looks familiar.”

He recalled Zhao Yao’s identity. Zhao Yao was the commoner in Frosted Teeth City who was shredded by his power of awareness.

Ya Xing thought, “Oh? He didn’t die? He revived after his awareness was destroyed? Humph, interesting.”

Sensing everyone’s gaze, Zhao Yao thought, “Why don’t I pretend I’m being controlled. I’m confident of that.”

“Since I’m pretending, I’ll do something more extreme.”

Zhao Yao could not help glancing at Grayley as his indicator of Level 72 was too alluring and Zhao Yao was tempted.

“Whitehand Grandmaster and White Short Star… Borrowing their power is too difficult. Wheatley’s father will not want to lose a powerful cat slave and will not lend me to Whitehand Grandmaster.”

“If I borrow Grayley’s superpower, the chances of success are higher.”

As Zhao Yao was considering the details, the panel on Book flashed with new mission.

Mission: Bold Deception

Mission Objective: How can you let a Level 72 supercat slip through you? Do what you are supposed to do.

Reward: After analyzing strong power of awareness, Book will gain more knowledge. Use the Cat Prince Costume to borrow Grayley’s superpower. After success, the diamond hall will have new items.

Penalty: None.

Zhao Yao’s eyes glimmered. The diamond hall had not had new items for some time. Analyzing strong power of awareness to unlock new items was something he looked forward to.

“If I fail, I’ll use Time Freeze and the Dimension Portal to escape. I’ll frame the Long Fur Tribe too.”

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yao led the crowd’s gaze to Wheatley’s father. “Everyone, please listen to me.”

“As a cat slave, if I can accept superpower from supercats perfectly, then the stronger the cat, the better it will be. I will be able to fully use my potential.”

Zhao Yao activated Time Freeze and used his Level 49 awareness to attack the three cat slaves behind Pi Pi before deactivating his superpowers.

He secretly implanted an order in the awareness of the three cat slaves.

A bearded cat slave jumped out from behind Pi Pi and said, “Accept superpowers perfectly? Only a genius cat slave that appears once in a blue moon can do that. There are no such people in the Short Fur Tribe.”
