“Who are you? Where am I? What happened?” Diana stared at her surroundings with a look of panic and confusion. A line was etched between her brows as she had no idea what to do.
All she remembered was working at the tent a second ago, now she found herself in this mysterious place after getting blinded by a glaring beam of light.
“Diana, everything’s all right. You do not have to worry.” Catherine, Diana’s mother, ran her paws through the fur on the back of Diana’s head and comforted her. Catherine fixed her eyes on Ares and company and asked politely, “Hello, may I ask where are we at? Also, what happened to my husband, Caesar?”
After finishing her question, she cocked her head and stared at where her husband previously stood and saw him lying atop a Garfield, Gaia. She had no idea what they were doing.
“A newcomer …” Fūjin was interrupted by Ares as he pressed his paws against Fūjin’s chest.
Ares’s eyes stared straight at Catherina as he spoke, “Good evening ladies, you currently find yourself in a place known as the village of dreams. God created this specially for us, cats.”
Ares could not help but scanned Catherine from head to toe. He wanted to lick every single inch of fur on this beautiful cat.
Catherine had spent most of her time in the cattery and was not accustomed to the attention showered upon her by Ares. Ares’s stare was making her slightly uncomfortable as a flush crept up her face. She lowered her head in embarrassment and whispered, “Mister, what is your name?”
“I am Ares.” As he spoke, he noticed a slight movement at the far corner of his eyes. The other ragdoll, Caesar, was struggling to get on his feet.
Ares immediately instructed the other cats via their shared consciousness, “Do not let that fat and obnoxious cat come near me and interrupt my conversation with this ragdoll.”
“Boss, what happened?” A look of confusion was plastered on Fūjin’s face as he clarified, “Is there something wrong with them?”
“There is a huge problem!” Ares’s stare did not once drift from Catherine as he continued, “Especially this female ragdoll. Her body emanates a certain demonic aura and I’m afraid I’m the only one capable of dealing with her. I need the rest of you to take care of the male ragdoll. Just knock him unconscious the moment he wakes up.”
The other cats complied with Ares’s instructions and dashed towards Caesar and surrounded him.
However, Lucifer was not as easy to trick as compared to the others. Lucifer rolled his eyes in disgust and commented, “Ares, have you fallen for this cat? I’m afraid she already has a husband and a daughter.”
“What do you know?” Ares retorted, ” … This just makes her even more perfect!”
Catherine’s eyes drifted towards Caesar as she stared at him concernedly. She took a few steps towards Caesar but was stopped in her tracks by Ares, “Do not worry, my subordinates will take good care of him.”
Catherine gave Ares a puppy-dog look and asked curiously, “But I think he’s awake.”
“It’s impossible! How can he wake up so quickly?” Ares forced a most awkward smile on his face and instructed ruthlessly, “Knock him unconscious.”
Initially, Caesar felt his body finally awakening from a groggy sleep. His eyelids quivered as he forced them open. At that moment, he was struck at the back of his head by a monstrous force as he once again went unconscious.
Lucifer was left speechless by his friends’ actions and commented, “Rakshasa, that too hard.”
The British Shorthair, Rakshasa, stared at his paws as he slowly retracted his razor-sharp claws. With his power, his paws were already coated with a layer of metal. By slapping Caesar using his paws, it was as good as striking him with a brick, “Boss told me to do so, hence I must knock him unconscious.”
Meanwhile, Catherine was perplexed by Ares’s response as her lashes fluttered with confusion, “But I’m sure I saw his body move just now.”
“I think your eye played a trick on you.” Ares moved his body to the side and revealed Caesar who remained to lie on the floor unconscious, “Look, he’s still unconscious! Cats that first come here will not be used to the air pressure in this place and it’s natural for them to remain unconscious for a few days. Let him have a good rest. I’ll use this time to introduce you to the place.”
He then led the two female ragdolls towards the direction of the phone. With two beautiful ragdolls walking alongside him, Ares could not help but reveal a smile. He took in a deep breath to relish in his moment of glory.
Lucifer, Fūjin, Rakshasa surrounded Caesar’s unconscious body in anticipation. Fūjin raised his hind leg as he licked the fur in his groin area and asked, “What do we do when Gaia wakes up?”
To cats, it was their natural habit to remove any stench from their bodies. The groin which was the source of the most intense smell was definitely no exception.
“Just knock him unconscious as well.” The British Shorthair revealed a devilish smile and threw his paws in the air. His paws had instantly turned into a pair of metal paws and were swinging in the air like a pair of metal bats.
The Garfield, Gaia, whimpered as he struggled to open his eyes. Before he could react to the situation, Rakshasa had already struck the back of his head using his metal paw and sent him back to sleep again.
Half an hour later, Caesar raised his paw with his eyes shut and exclaimed, “Wait, I…”
Bam! Rakshasa did not bother listening to his explanation and slapped Caesar using his metal paws. Caesar once again fainted with his tongue sticking out.
Lucifer curled his lips in disgust as he witnessed this cruel scene unfolding before his eyes. He looked at the two cats lying on the floor and remarked, “I think their faces are already swollen from all your beating.”
Rakshasa beamed from ear to ear and answered proudly, “This only means that it is effective.”
Lucifer replied, “Just now Ares wanted this cats to be unconscious for the next few days. Don’t tell me that you …”
Rakshasa nodded his head and said, “If boss wants them unconscious for the next few days, my job is to make sure that happens.”
Meanwhile, Ares felt the two ragdoll’s fur brushing against his body as they walked towards the phone. He could not help but look heavenward. A ray of light flashed across his eyes as he whispered, “God, you are too generous!”
…
Zhao Yao, was who busy having dinner, was taken aback by the abrupt notification on his mission panel.
Ares had accepted your leadership and you have received 300X2 experience points from it.
“?”
“What the hell is happening?” Zhao Yao could not help but switched to Dust Ball’s ability and entered the extradimensional belly to find out what exactly was happening. A look of disdain was plastered on his face as he left the belly.
No matter what, Zhao Yao was still happy to see Ares submitting to his leadership. The best part about it was the experience points earned from it. The combined experience points earned from Ares and the completion of the mission to save Elizabeth’s family had turned the BOOK to book: lv3 (2258/2000).
Zhao Yao threw his hands in the air. It was finally time to upgrade his BOOK again
Zhao Yao was blown away by the potential of adding Ares’s power to his arsenal. Hence, he did not hesitate to pump the points to upgrade his BOOK.
By upgrading his BOOK, Zhao Yao would be able to receive the power of one additional cat. He immediately retreated to his bedroom and shut his doors. Instantly, the BOOK had turned into lv4(258/5000).
During the process, Zhao Yao felt his entire body freezing for a moment as he collapsed on the floor. Every ounce of muscle and bone in his body began vibrating violently. Cold sweat beaded his forehead and he opened his mouth wide as he struggled to take in the oxygen from his surroundings.
Just when he thought his body was about to rupture from the transformation, the force finally vanished from his body.
The next moment, a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes and he felt better than ever.
He had finally received the boost in powers from Dust Ball, further enhancing the effects of “Two is better than one”.
However, because of Dust Ball’s dwarfism, Zhao Yao’s physical strength did not receive a significant boost.
But his observation skills receive a stark improvement as he had combined the observation skills of three cats. His five senses, sense of awareness and instincts were unparalleled.
He felt that every fiber of muscle and bone in his body were working directly under his control. His mastery over his body had surpassed every human and cat in the world.
