Suck Me In: The user can be absorbed into the extradimensional belly and would disappear from the dimension that he was in. When the user returned to the original dimension, he would reappear at the same location.
Absolute Release: The user can release all the contents of the extradimensional belly in one go.
"This is so hard!" Zhao Yao started to scratch his hair frantically and began weighing the pros and cons of each ability.
"If I have Suck Me In, I can instantly teleport into the extradimensional belly. I will vanish from this dimension, and it would be my ultimate defense move."
"Meanwhile, if I have Absolute Release, I can accumulate an immense amount of items in it. If I store 3 tons worth of objects in a day, I would have 30 tons in 10 days. If I released everything at once, it would be an unstoppable attack."
Zhao Yao scratched his chin as he considered his options. Both abilities were extremely potent, but Zhao Yao was leaning towards Suck Me In due to the defensive capability that it brought along. In the real world, it was more important to stay alive.
As for the ability to instantly vomit tens of tons of objects and destroy everything in its sight, it was a little over the top for Zhao Yao. Furthermore, if he used this attack in Jiangmen city, the destruction that it would cause would result in too much innocent causality.
Zhao Yao decided on Suck Me In.
He immediately activated his new ability. He felt as if his body had fallen down a vortex and into emptiness. He had disappeared from the surface of Earth.
There seemed to be a faint light beyond the darkness in front of Zhao Yao. However, Zhao Yao could not see the source of the light.
In this dimension, there were all sorts of furniture, rubbish, tires, plastic bags, cement and even bricks floating around aimlessly. These were the objects which Dust Ball had absorbed previously.
Zhao Yao took a deep breath and pondered, "The pressure and air in this dimension are the same as what I'm used to. Is it because Dust Ball had absorbed air in when she activated her power? Or was the dimension naturally like this?"
Zhao Yao raised his head and saw emptiness. He lowered his head and saw the same emptiness. He did not know the how big this space was. It was difficult to move around in it because gravity was absent and everything was just floating around. He tried to reposition himself by swimming in the air. However, it proved to be far too inefficient, and he gave up on his attempt to measure the size of this dimension.
"However, this would be a good place to hide when escaping from an enemy," Zhao Yao scratched his head and considered, "I guess it's time to start cleaning up this place and maybe even bring a torch and some food along."
"Hmm, I might run out of oxygen in here. I guess I need to absorb more air into this dimension."
The battle between superpower had the potential to become savage. Even with the ability to freeze time and revived with time distortion, it would not make you invincible.
But now with the power of Suck Me In, even if Zhao Yao was backstabbed, he could revive and escaped into his extradimensional belly. With sufficient food and air, he could survive in it for months.
No matter how strong his enemy apostles were, it would be close to impossible to kill Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao's mouth curved into a smile as he believed that he had chosen the right ability.
"It's such a pity that there isn't gravity here." Zhao Yao had already started fantasizing the steps he would take to transform this into his haven.
The past month he spent in the café had not gone to waste. His combat power had increased drastically with the upgrade of both Elizabeth and Dust Ball.
Now, he had to inform both Elizabeth and Dust Ball about their newly acquired abilities.
Zhao Yao could not be at his supercats' side at all times. Hence, he had to inform them about their new powers such that they could use it when the situation called for it.
Roly Poly stared with envy at the two cats who just received a power boost. His eyes flickered with excitement, and he came running towards Zhao Yao and asked, "Zhao Yao, can you upgrade my power as well?"
"As for you," Zhao Yao was at a loss and did not know how to reply him. After awakening The 5 Senses, Zhao Yao's dependence on Roly Poly's invisibility had plummeted. He might not even consider recruiting Roly Poly when he upgraded his BOOK.
Zhao Yao squatted beside Roly Poly and massaged his chin. Roly Poly shut his eyes and immersed himself at this moment. Zhao Yao said, "Roly Poly, you don't need to have such strong abilities."
"Why?" Sadness clouded Roly Poly's feature.
"I thought you didn't like to fight? You just have to hide behind all of us until all the fights in this world have ended." Zhao Yao patted him on his head and continued, "We will always protect you until that day comes."
"Really?"
Zhao Yao heaved a sigh of relief when Dust Ball's entire face lit up. Zhao Yao thought, "Thank goodness this silly cat believed what I said."
Under Roly Poly's innocent expression, he was actually fuming in anger. He shouted in his head, "Do you take me to be a gullible one-month-old kitten? It seems like I must still find an opportunity to escape. I heard that Team Saviors was recruiting, maybe I can try my luck there."
Zhao Yao glanced at Roly Poly and was afraid that he might be feeling down and decided to use his new power on him. Zhao Yao chuckled and announced, "Don't be sad! Let me reward you with something delicious for your excellent performance!"
Roly Poly nodded his head excitedly. However, he did not expect anything good from Zhao Yao.
"It's just going to be the usual stuff. It would either be some lame tidbit or cat rice." Dust Ball lay flat on the floor and shut his eyes. He tried to recall all the delicacies which he had had in life.
"I want to have fried chicken which is crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. When you take a bite, the juice will explode in your mouth, and the well-marinated meat would leave behind a wonderful aftertaste on the tongue. Oh yes, and that fragrant smell of freshly fried chicken!"
Roly Poly jolted out of his imagination as he smelled fried chicken in his vicinity.
Roly Poly opened his eyes to the sight of Zhao Yao walking towards him with a bucket full of chicken. Each chicken was fried to perfection. The fragrance entered Roly Poly's body and infected every single cell in his body.
"Fried chicken?" Roly Poly's body started to tremble not out of fear but excitement. He could not believe Zhao Yao would treat him to something as good as fried chicken.
"Is this for me?"
Zhao Yao replied with a simple nod and said, "This is a reward for your performance in the café."
Roly Poly opened his mouth and carefully positioned the chicken on his tongue where his taste buds were the most sensitive. He took a bite, and the juices exploded in his mouth. His eyes welled up, and he thought he was in heaven.
"This is too delicious!"
"I have never had such a perfect fried chicken in my life!"
"Why did you give me such a perfect fried chicken? I'm going to spend the rest of my life searching for its replacement."
Zhao Yao nodded his head smugly as he saw Roly Poly devouring the cat food in front of him like never before. He thought, "The perfect illusion is indeed strong. By altering all his senses, I can make Roly Poly think that he's eating fried chicken even when he is eating shit. This is incredible!"
Roly Poly was truly grateful for Zhao Yao's kind gesture. He exclaimed, "Zhao Yao, you are too good to me!"
"If you behave obediently, I'll treat you to fried chicken once every week!"
