Chapter 400: Bring Them Away!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
When time resumed, Zhao Yao had already tossed Matsuo into the extradimensional belly. Zhao Yao reached his arm forward as Ares’s deflective field grabbed hold of him before hurling their bodies towards the night sky.
After just a few seconds, Zhao Yao’s timefreeze cooldown had already expired. Once again, the world came to a standstill. Zhao Yao then sprinted along the surface of the golden deflective field as he returned to his original position.
He then erected an extradimensional belly gate right behind Ares’s position.
Zhao Yao glanced down at the frozen world before initiating his super-regeneration. While the entire world was at a complete halt, Zhao Yao took a step forward before plunging headfirst into this static world.
Bam! Zhao Yao’s body nosedived into the ground before crashing against the concrete floor. In a split second, every bone in his body was shattered to pieces as parts of his remnants exploded into the surroundings. All that was left was the blood stain on the ground.
However, this scene only lasted for a split second. Immediately after the collision, his hyper-regeneration abilities had already taken effect. The muscles and bones began to merge together as his body formed piece by piece, bone by bone. Simultaneously, Zhao Yao reveled in this inexplicable sensation
.
“Oh,” Zhao Yao went back to his feet with his jaws completely slack, “This feels incredible!” An intense desire to jump down from a next skyscraper swept over him. However, he managed to suppress his burning desire and focused his mind on the mission. He then responded by absorbing the blood-stained concrete into his belly.
Using deflective field, a makeshift golden bridge emerged, spanning from Zhao Yao’s position to the rooftop. Zhao Yao sprinted down this stupendous bridge before stopping right in front of Sphynx Cat as he prepared to absorb him back to the belly.
The moment time resumed, Ares and the remaining supercats which were hurled into the air had already disappeared into the extradimensional belly gate. Similarly, Zhao Yao had also thrown Sphynx Cat into it. Zhao Yao’s eyes swept across the mess he had created and heaved a long sigh of despair before disappearing into his belly.
…
Matsuo had to be on his toes the moment he entered this strange place. Even though he knew that nothing in this world could possibly injure or even hurt him if he remained in spirit form, he simply couldn’t put his mind to rest.
He started by scrutinizing his surroundings. The place was huge and brightly lit. Its ceiling was at least two to three meters tall and it could easily accommodate five football fields.
Suddenly, he noticed a familiar figure at the corner of his eyes. Ishida was kneeling on the ground with his palms firmly clasped together as he continued to apologize relentlessly to a bunch of cats.
He had never seen Ishida behaved in this manner. His entire body was pressed against the ground in the uniquely Japanese kowtow position. With tears welled up in his eyes, Ishida screamed, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry for creating so much trouble for all of you!”
This shouting led to a chorus of meows amongst the cats themselves. Obviously, Ishida was clueless as to what they were discussing. He could only pray to his God as sweat and tears streamed down his cheeks.
Airplane took a step forward and asked, “What are we supposed to do? Both Zhao Yao and Ares aren’t here today. How should we deal with this Japanese?”
Because of the activation of supercat armor, Roly Poly, Ares, and a few other supercats were not there when Ishida arrived inside the belly.
A glimmer of excitement flashed across Matsuo’eyes as he witnessed this unique occurrence unfolding right in front of him, “So many cats? Are all of them supercats?” Matsuo’s chest rose and fell with rapid breaths as he imagined the fortune awaiting him should he capture all of them.
Meanwhile, Ares, Sphynx Cat, Zhao Yao and the rest had also returned to the extradimensional belly after Zhao Yao’s second time freeze. In reality, only a few seconds had passed since Matsuo’s arrival.
Because of supercat armor, all of the supercats which just returned were concealed by Roly Poly’s power of invisibility. Only Zhao Yao was visible to the naked eye.
Matsuo swept his head around before muttering to himself, “This guy is also here? I guess this space is somehow connected to his ability as well.” A tinge of jealousy flashed across his eyes as his body trembled with envy, “Is this the reason why he is able to simultaneously wield so many power? Is it because of all the cats here?”
“Hmph, I guess today is your unlucky day. The worst mistake to commit is to bring me into this place. I will use my power and rob you of every single one of your ability! From today onwards, I’ll be the ruler of this place, the ruler of all these cats!”
Zhao Yao’s eyes swept across the belly nonchalantly before he randomly screamed into a corner, “Hey, you’re inside here, aren’t you? Aren’t you intending to reveal yourself?”
Matsuo’s lips curled into a sinister smile as he thought to himself, “Reveal myself? Do you take me for an idiot? I’m going to examine and study all of your secrets in here!”
“Troublesome a*shole,” Honestly, Zhao Yao wasn’t too bothered by this bothersome fella. He could at most maintain his power for 24 hours. By then, his power would evaporate to thin air and he would have no choice but to reveal his body.
Meanwhile, Ishida burst into more tears as he finally saw a human figure. Those were actually tears of joy. He couldn’t even be bothered that Zhao Yao was his enemy as he sprinted towards him before plunging into another Japanese kowtow, “I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry for causing so much trouble for you and your friends!”
…
Following Zhao Yao and the supercats disappearance, the majestic golden bridge which spanned across the night sky had also vanished. The once transparent building had once again regained its usual appearance.
Zhao Xue sprinted to the edge of the building and looked into the distant sky. Sadness tore at her chest as she breathed a sigh of despair, “Isn’t that …”
“The headless horseman.” Meng Hao, who had originally given up all hope had suddenly gotten back to his feet and appeared right next to Zhao Xue. His expression was unusually solemn as he mumbled, “I have never expected him to appear here. He is truly my arch-nemesis.”
“Oh? It really is the headless horseman?” Zhao Xue had completely ignored the second half of Meng Hao’s message as excitement raced through her, “It really is her! Is she here to save us?”
Xiao Yu’s expression contorted into a grimace as she answered, “In my opinion, your so-called ‘headless horseman’ simply owes this company a huge sum of money. His plan was to default on his payment. However, this went a bit out of hand and he had no choice but to kill the boss of the company.”
Somehow, Zhao Xue managed to filter out all the negative connotations of that message as she looked towards Xiao Yu and asked, “Aunt Xiao Yu, do you know the headless horseman? You sound like you’re pretty close to the headless horseman?”
Xiao Yu was trying her best to suppress her laughter as she answered, “I guess we’re pretty close. Actually, both of you know each other as well.”
Those words caught Zhao Xue by surprise as she responded, “Huh, how do you even know about my relationship with the headless horseman?”
Xiao Yu was similarly startled by Zhao Xue’s response. A sudden realization dawned on her, “Shouldn’t they know about each other’s apostle identity since they’re siblings? Maybe I should just confirm by saying Zhao Yao’s name?” However, her eyes darted towards the two suspicious characters – Meng Hao and Black Panther- and chose not to verify using Zhao Yao’s actual name.
Hence, Xiao Yu replied with a nod of her head and the most ambiguous answer, “Of course.”
Zhao Xue let out a gasp before throwing her hand over her mouth, “So both of you actually know each other?”
Xiao Yu nodded her head and concluded, “I guess she’s referring to the fact that we know each other’s real-life identities.”
A slight hesitation flashed across Zhao Xue’s face before she finally opened her mouth, “Has the headless horseman ever mentioned my name?”
A frown crept up Xiao Yu’s face as she slid Zhao Xue a weird glare, “I don’t think so.”
“Is that the case?” Sadness clouded Zhao Xue’s features as she pried, “Not even once?”
Black Panther decided to join the discussion as he exclaimed, “Both of you know my master as well? I can’t believe that the headless horseman has saved my life twice already! The headless horseman is truly the most righteous person I’ve ever met in my life! I truly owe my life to the headless horseman!”
Xiao Yu never expected so many people to have encountered the headless horseman.
Suddenly, the widely-discussed headless horseman had re-appeared in front of everyone. Zhao Yao only came back because he realized that both his aunt and sister were still stranded on the rooftop. They would end up in the hands of the government if he left them there. Hence, he left the two Japanese in the belly temporarily before coming to their rescue …
