"We can make use of this point."

As Zhao Yao pondered, his eyes filled with cold light.

Matcha felt his fur shedding and asked, "What's happening? Why do I feel like someone's going to harm me?"

In the next moment, Zhao Yao charged towards Elizabeth.

Project X pursued Zhao Yao and discovered that he had dropped all defenses and braced himself for all attacks. Zhao Yao ran to the front of Elizabeth, whom Project X found disgusting and grabbed her.

Project X wondered, "What's he up to?"

To Project X's surprise, Zhao Yao swiveled and dashed towards Matcha while holding Elizabeth.

"Huh?" Project X jumped in fright. He was worried for Matcha and readied all his superpowers as he chased after Zhao Yao.

The shadows underneath the three clones emerged from the ground, surrounded Zhao Yao and edged towards his body.

"I think he is going to dodge the shadows."

To Project X's amazement, Zhao Yao neither defended nor dodged the shadows. He bolted towards Matcha at full speed and braced against Project X's attacks.

Project X was unaware of Zhao Yao's intentions. However, Project X was not going to miss capitalizing on Zhao Yao's weakness.

Bam!

Numerous shadow spikes landed on Zhao Yao's shadow. Two of the clones pincered Zhao Yao from his left and right and penetrated his chest and stomach with their claws, immobilizing him.

Although Zhao Yao's Ultra Rapid Regeneration was healing him, Project X's claws grabbed onto his bones, immobilizing him and preventing full recuperation of his wounds.

The two combat clones and the shadows underneath locked Zhao Yao firmly in place. The clone holding Matcha flicked out his claw to explode Zhao Yao's head.

Zhao Yao's eyes emitted crimson rays and controlled the clone holding Matcha.

The other clone lost control and bit Zhao Yao's neck with his sharp teeth and continued gnawing to break his neck.

"Is he suicidal?"

Seeing Zhao Yao seriously wounded and unable to move, Project X looked puzzled at his clone that was controlled by Zhao Yao.

The clone did not attack Zhao Yao. Instead, he received a scarf from Zhao Yao and covered Matcha's neck with it.

Project X was stunned when he saw the scarfed Matcha. He was unaware that the scarf was transformed by Elizabeth, who had taken a Spicy cat strip. After wearing the scarf, Matcha would be able to entice everyone around him.

"Another… illusion? This feeling… is so pleasing…"

Project X possessed superior const.i.tution and body control. He was able to hear sound waves that normal people could not and shut off his five senses any time.

He had acquired the Sound Wave Control superpower from the Kujyo's supercat in j.a.pan.

So he could s.h.i.+eld himself from Elizabeth's illusion attacks.

Seeing the scarfed Matcha, he had no intention to stop the illusory sound waves.

Zhao Yao was glad he had succeeded.

Project X was subjected to both Sphynx cat's superpower and Elizabeth's power of illusion.

Sphynx cat's superpower changed Project X's character and Elizabeth's scarf boosted the effect of the change, which was part of his nature so he didn't notice it.

Previously Zhao Yao only attacked physically and now he used psychological attacks which were harder to detect.

"Sphynx cat's sacrifice is not in vain as he left a large loophole in Project X's defenses." Seeing Project X's dazed look, Zhao Yao said, "Thank you, Sphynx cat."

He shouted telepathically to Matcha, "Matcha, Project X is controlled by the illusion. Repeat what I am going to say next. Don't screw up."

Matcha frowned and replied, "May I opt out?"

"If you don't obey me, I will castrate you."

Matcha thought, "What a selfish Zhao Yao!"

In Project X's eyes, Matcha smiled and said, "Project X, would you show me your true self?"

"My true self?" The effects of the illusion, compounded by Sphynx cat's superpower, made the words of Matcha extremely convincing.

Project X shrugged his shoulders and said, "My current self is my true self."

"Those are your clones." Matcha followed Zhao Yao's words and said, "When you merge all your clones that will be your true self. May I see it?"

"Merge them together?" Project X hesitated as his instincts wanted to screen off the sound wave illusion and finish the battle. However, a voice from the deepest part of his heart told him to follow Matcha's words.

At this critical moment, a spirit, who was a subordinate of Momo, barged into the main hall.

The spirit of Momo did not have powerful superpowers, however, she was able to collect spirits to form the Spirit Army by using debts.

Project X made Momo useful by asking her to collect debts to form a small spirit unit.

This spirit charged in and shouted, "My lord! Bad news! Lady MOMO was captured!"

Project X's eyes flashed with clarity. Using his superior willpower, he cut off the sound wave illusion and grabbed Zhao Yao's head.

"Are you fooling me?"

Zhao Yao looked at the angry Project X and sighed as he thought, "I have no choice but to resort to this."

Zhao Yao was very clear about Project X's superpowers. Besides Time Freeze, he prepared a trump card to deal with Project X.

If the trump card was used, Project X would be wary against similar attacks. Hence, Zhao Yao was waiting for a good opportunity, the greater the number of clones the better the effect.

At this time, he had to use the trump card. In the next Project X's Time Freeze, he would not be able to defend himself using his regeneration.

Project X attacked the immobilized Zhao Yao who braced the attacks with boosted Ultra Rapid Regeneration. At the same time, Zhao Yao focused on his mission panel.

Catherine, Level 6 (0/10000)

Zhao Yao upgraded BOOK so he was able to contract new supercats.

Before Shadow captured Catherine and Elizabeth and the arrival of Project X, Zhao Yao had contracted Catherine.

With the upgrade of BOOK and completion of the successful contract, he obtained 6000 experience points. Together with his previous 3287 experience points, he upgraded Catherine to Level 6.

To avoid Project X's suspicion, he browsed the skill tree and made Level 2 to Level 6 skill selections but didn't touch the screen.

In order to deal with an infuriated Project X, Zhao Yao used up Catherine's skill points in one go, pus.h.i.+ng her superpower to an astonis.h.i.+ng level.

Sleep Medusa Level 6: Any living things who viewed your body within 1000 meters will fall into a deep sleep for 6 seconds. After waking up, they will be in fear for 6 seconds.
