Am I A God?

Chapter 998: Cat Slaves

Zhao Yao ran at full speed and the surrounding scenery became a blur. He was like a streak of black lightning cutting through the air, leaving a trail of after-images behind him.

Zhao Yao recalled what Tom had told him regarding the Short Fur Tribe on this planet.

Like the cats on Earth, the supercats of the Short Fur Tribe were lone rangers and did not like living together. The cats on this planet carved out their own territories. When their kittens were grown up, they would be chased out to lead independent lives.

On these territories, the supercats ruled various humans. A portion of the humans borrowed superpowers from the supercats to rule other humans and develop villages and cities. They were called cat slaves.

Zhao Yao understood that it was naive to think that he could lead sneak attacks on these supercat lone rangers from the Short Fur Tribe.

As the supercats had control of the power of awareness, they could travel to any part of the planet in a blink of an eye and support each other.

Because of the existence of the Awareness Dimension, regardless of the distance, they could meet in dreams to communicate and seek help.

The Awareness Dimension was their internet.

As Zhao Yao pondered, he stepped hard and anchored himself on the ground with a loud bang as he gazed at the distant rising smoke.

“Are they humans?”

He moved again but it was not the usual obvious charge but a stealthy and careful intrusion of the unknown territory.

Zhao Yao saw a primitive village that was decorated with teeth of wild beasts. The humans looked dark and strong.

“Is this a human’s dwelling place? It seems that there are no supercats here. It should be one of the villages of a supercat.”

Zhao Yao decided not to show himself. He spat out Roly Poly.

Roly Poly was shocked and squeezed his buttocks. Broken pieces of cat feces fell to the ground as he said in astonishment, “Zhao Yao, what are you doing?” I’m pooing!”

Zhao Yao grabbed Roly Poly’s head and said, “I need invisibility. Get ready.”

Roly Poly was dragged to the nearby village and he said furiously, “I haven’t finished pooing.”

“Poo as we go. Nobody can see us anyway.”

The invisible Zhao Yao walked into the village and he found that most of the humans were female. The men were most likely out working or hunting. He approached an elder.

“Sleep Medusa—Sleep.”

“Nightmare Lord—Dream.”

With the switching of two superpowers, Zhao Yao went into the dream of the elder.

More than a minute later, he returned to the material realm. He was in the dream with the elder for a few months. Not only did Zhao Yao learn the native’s tongue, he also obtained information on the village and the surrounding areas.

“Caesar.” Zhao Yao spat out Caesar and pointed at the elder as he said, “Erase her memories for the past three minutes.”

Seeing Caesar doing his work, Zhao Yao squeezed his chin as he thought, “This is called Cat’s Tail Village and it’s in the territory of the handsome cat Wheatley. Wheatley had dozens of villages like this one and he lives in the nearby Frosted Teeth City.”

Roly Poly asked curiously, “Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, is this the alien planet? What’s the situation?”

Zhao Yao looked grim as he said, “This planet is called Satol by the natives.”

“On Satol, the cats are rulers. Humans who borrow superpowers and worship cats are called slaves, which are categorized into levels ranging from one to nine stars.”

“On this planet, humans are proud to be cat slaves.”

Roly Poly stared wide-eyed as he said excitedly, “Really?”

Project X was excited in Roly Poly’s awareness. “This is a good place!”

Zhao Yao frowned at the excited Roly Poly and asked, “You are happy? You like this place?”

Roly Poly shook his head like a rattle-drum. “No, no. Why would I like this place? Earth’s better.”

Zhao Yao glanced at Roly Poly and ignored him as he considered his next move.

“Using my lone power to defeat the Short Fur Tribe is too far stretched.” Zhao Yao stroked his chin and thought, “Perhaps I could try disintegrating it from within or even dominate the tribe from within.”

Zhao Yao understood that with his current strength, a direct confrontation with Short Fur Tribe was not possible. Even if they sent out 300 Toms, he was not a match for them.

Moreover, there were more than 300 supercats and the strongest of them was not as simple as Tom.

Pondering over the information gained from the elder, Zhao Yao thought, “This is Wheatley’s territory. They said that he was in Frosted Teeth City recruiting cat slaves. I can sneak in this way.”

A few minutes later, Zhao Yao changed into the village costume and arrived at the Frosted Teeth City’s entrance.

The city did not have walls. To the inhabitants of Satol, cat slaves and supercats are the deciding factor in a conflict. Normal humans are not useful in this case.

Zhao Yao walked in the bustling streets of the Frosted Teeth City and surveyed the surrounding short houses. The appearance looked much like the small towns on Earth and the population was much larger than what he expected.

Zhao Yao used the native tongue to ask a passer-by, “Where can I sign up to be a cat slave?”

After asking around, Zhao Yao came to a large imposing hall, which was the Cat Slave Hall. It was a place for the cat slaves to train and rest while not serving the supercats.

Zhao Yao looked at the most imposing building in Frosted Teeth City with mixed feelings.

“D*mn… I traveled the Milky Way from a faraway planet… to be a cat slave… d*mn…”

A burly man in white robe walked out and looked at Zhao Yao as he asked, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”

Zhao Yao said, “I want to be a cat… cat slave.”

The burly man scrutinized Zhao Yao critically and said, “Not everyone can be a cat slave. Only a person with great potential, meticulous nature and utmost loyalty to the cat is allowed to be one. Are you one of them?”

Zhao Yao frowned and said reluctantly, “I am one of them.”

The burly man nodded and said, “Come in for the test. If you are sure you have the potential, you may become a cat slave apprentice. After the test by Lord Wheatley, you may become a real cat slave.”
