793 Seeing Through the Aura ?

Zhao Yao's eyes widened, "Wait a minute. Shadow?"

He looked back at the piece of metal in the Extradimensional Belly. It dawned on him at that moment, "So this metal body is fake? His real self is actually casting the Shadow ability and hiding in the shadows?"

"It's not impossible."

Thinking about the supercats that broke out of the prison during the mob, an ominous glint flashed in Zhao Yao's eyes. "Is that you, Project X? Even if he's not dead yet, how did he manage to find me?"

"Wait, did he see my appearance when he managed to get the power of Time Freeze?"

"Why did I think that I wouldn't need to conceal myself during Time Freeze? Did Project X recognise me from his intel about all the apostles and supercats in Jianghai? This spells trouble…"

He looked back at Project X and all the other cats in the Extradimensional Belly as he thought of all kinds of scenarios in his head.

At this point, Zhao Yao felt an impending danger. It was different from his past experiences of doing surprise attacks on the other party. This time, his identity was exposed, whereas Project X lurked in the dark.

"There is no superpower that is undefeatable in this world. All abilities have unimaginable effects." Zhao Yao looked at his cats and formulated a plan in his mind. "So in a superpower battle, the first to strike gains a huge advantage…"

…

"In a superpower battle, the first to strike gains a huge advantage."

Opposite Cat Wonderland, Project X lurked in the shadows, staring maliciously at the shopping mall opposite him. "There is no such thing as an undefeatable superpower in this world. The one who strikes first gains the upper hand. Even a very insignificant existence would be able to defeat a god-like power."

As he said that, his upper body slowly emerged from the shadows. His body swelled and contorted as three big tumors grew out of his body. The tumors looked like fruits as they grew larger and larger.

This was Sang Biao's physical evolution power, where one's physique could change in unimaginable ways at one's will to adapt to all kinds of dangerous battles.

Now, Project X was using this power to do something else.

After the three tumors formed completely, they fell to the ground. The three tumors vibrated for a while before they split apart, revealing three cats.

The cats looked exactly like Coffee, Slaughter, and Shadow.

However, these cats had a blank look on their faces and showed no signs of self-awareness. Project X just used Sang Biao's power to create these cats. In fact, the cats were soulless and mere copies of the original three cats.

As Project X retreated into the shadows and hid beneath the legs of the three cats, their eyes fluttered and sparkled as if they came to life.

By creating doppelgangers of these three cats, Project X could hide in their shadows and unleash their superpowers as he controlled their bodies. It was as if the three supercats had revived.

Gaping at the ingenuity of his powers, fear flashed in her eyes as she asked in a submissive tone, "Project X, what do I do next?"

"Follow the plan."

As he said that, Project X watched as the supercats that had broke out from the prison charged into the Cat Wonderland. The three doppelganger cats smiled as they jumped down the building together and charged towards Cat Wonderland as well.

Project X hid behind the supercats from prison as he infiltrated the Cat Wonderland. He spotted the main hall in no time and saw a man, a woman and a cat in battle. They were Zhao Xue, Bai Quan and Sphynx cat respectively. Zhao Yao stood behind them with his arms folded across his chest, as if he was watching a show.

Bai Quan and the trio were able to defend against the onslaught of attacks from the prison cats with just their immense physical capabilities. A few kicks and punches were enough to extinguish the flames and receive bolts of lightning with ease, knocking out the hypnotized supercats one by one.

Slaughter and Coffee hid in the dark while Project X and Shadow hid amongst the shadows. They shook their heads as they stared at Bai Quan and his trio, "These three guys don't look easy to deal with."

After that, Project X turned and stared at Zhao Yao, "This man, is he the one who activated Time Freeze? That means he opened this Cat Wonderland. I heard rumors that he's good friends with the Headless Horseman and that this Cat Wonderland is owned by the Headless Horseman. But seeing how he's able to activate the power of Time Freeze, he might just be the Headless Horseman himself."

Thinking about it, Project X's eyes rounded as he activated his power… the Aura Eye.

This was a power he robbed from another cat. It could generate the target's personality, abilities and capabilities to form an accurate image of the target in the user's eyes. By looking at the image, one would be able to tell the target's innate qualities and from there, get a rough sense of the target's capabilities and abilities.

Project X cast the Aura Eye and first took a look at Bai Quan. His body was radiating with blood flames which protected his body like a solid armor.

Next, he turned his gaze to Zhao Xue. She had turned into a strange figure with cat ears, a tail and a body bulging with muscles all over.

"The images of these two reflect the abilities they display. They are most likely the close combat type that rely on enhancing their physical prowess for power but their powers are not very strong. But that woman, why is she in such an ugly form?"

Project X shook his head and turned to look at Sphynx cat. He saw a golden armor with golden fur appear at the back of Sphynx cat, making him look like a fighting-god in the form of a giant cat.

"Hmm, they are all close combat types. This guy must be the strongest of the trio."

Finally, Project X looked in Zhao Yao's direction. However, he could no longer see Zhao Yao. Under the Aura Eye, the only image of him was that of an immobile dried fish which lay on the ground.

Project X stared at the image before him thoughtfully.

"… What… does this mean?"

"This guy… he's weaker than the other three? But he could activate Time Freeze?" Project X was lost in thought. "Why is his image shown to be so much weaker than the other three under the Aura Eye if he has the power of Time Freeze?"

However his confusion only lasted for a moment. Project X quickly shook off his thoughts, "No matter what, I will just kill this Zhao Yao since he has the power of Time Freeze. After that, I will just need to kill the strongest: Sphynx cat. The rest should not be a problem."

At the next moment, just as the battle reached its peak, the three doppelganger cats struck at the same time.

Slaughter's laser beam blasted through Zhao Yao's body in an instant, followed by Shadow's blade and the invisible gravitational force.

Unleashing these three abilities at the same time would be enough to blast a person into dust. However, to Project X's astonishment, Zhao Yao merely groaned as he suppressed the onslaught of attacks. His scorched, stabbed, and compressed body began to undergo Ultra Rapid Regeneration.

"Ultra Rapid Regeneration?" Project X smirked. "What a fool. You gave up Time Freeze to use this ability. You're just seeking your own death."

The moment the three cats struck, Bai Quan and Zhao Xue charged towards Slaughter and Coffee, who unleashed the laser beams and gravitational attacks respectively.

Project X thought to himself, "Yes, that's right, come and attack my doppelganger. Show me your true abilities." As for Zhao Yao, Project X could not be bothered with him anymore. A fool who only had the power of Ultra Rapid Regeneration was nothing to be concerned about.

Afterall, as far as Project X knew, an apostle could only borrow a specific power at any one time. Under the Aura Eye, Zhao Yao turned into a piece of dried fish. Now, he even used the power of Ultra Rapid Regeneration.

These actions corresponded to the intel Project X had. Hence, Project X no longer viewed Zhao Yao as a threat.

To him, Sphynx cat's ability was certainly the strongest in the field. He seized a chance during the intense battle to sneak into the other party's shadow.

"Good. At this distance, I should be able to replicate his powers."

"Next, I can just rely on the immense physical strength of his body to rob him of all his abilities and intelligence."
