Upgrade the superpower, activate Catherine's superpower and then close his eyes.
Zhao Yao completed all these actions in a blink of an eye and activated Sleep Medusa. Every living thing that gazed at him fell into a deep sleep.
Four clones of Project X fell to the ground. Another four shadowed clones, who were underneath their legs, returned back to their normal state and fell into a deep slumber.
Everywhere in the main hall, countless shadowed clones of Project X returned to their normal state as they fell to the ground in a deep sleep.
Even Matcha, Fish Ball, and the rest were induced into a deep sleep.
In the main hall, only Zhao Yao was unaffected.
As Project X was able to duplicate his superpower, he closed his eyes beforehand in order not to fall asleep.
"Project X's Passive Superpower Duplication is able to duplicate superpowers within his effective range."
"Even if he is in a deep sleep, however, his passive superpower is still in effect. If I look at him, I will fall asleep."
Zhao Yao leaped gently and jumped to a height of over 30 meters in the sky.
"There should be no clones of Project X here." He opened his eyes, surveyed the ground, saw more than a hundred clones and felt discouraged.
"There are too many clones."
"Each clone has steel-like constitution and a hundred of them will take me a long time to kill."
Zhao Yao had underestimated the number of Project X's clones. There might be other clones located outside the main hall to be used as reinforcements.
Fortunately, these clones were defenseless. Zhao Yao activated Great Flow of Idleness that engulfed them in the hall.
Clones after clones stopped breathing.
As the clones were not living things, they only lost their mobility. They did not die due to asphyxiation.
Zhao Yao also knew that Project X would cut off his links with the clones to protect himself. The Great Flow of Idleness was only useful for sealing off these clones.
He felt it was a great achievement to immobilize hundreds of clones.
"It is a pity… if only Matcha had managed to recall all of Project X's clones. The battle would have ended when he sealed all of them in one go."
Zhao Yao infused his seals with the Great Flow of Idleness and sealed all the clones so that he did not have to activate the superpower all the time.
The seals of illusion was Elizabeth inherent ability, which allowed an illusion to be sealed on an object. Even if Zhao Yao did not maintain the illusion, the seal would provide the illusion.
After sealing, he was able to activate other superpowers.
Zhao Yao grabbed a steel column to create his seal of illusion as the six seconds of deep sleep elapsed. Matcha, Fish Ball, and the rest woke up meowing and running around in fear.
This was the six seconds fear induction of the Sleep Medusa superpower.
Matcha sprawled on the ground and said, "It is finally over. I am almost scared to death."
Fish Ball and Lightning laid on the ground, their faces filled with terror.
Elizabeth and Catherine gathered around Zhao Yao and meowed, "How's it Zhao Yao? Is Project X defeated?"
"Not yet." Zhao Yao finished the sealing and shoved the supercats behind him. Then he carried Matcha and said, "He's here again."
"Back again?" Fish Ball said dejectedly, "Why is he invincible? Is he too powerful? How do we defeat him?"
Matcha, who was being carried in Zhao Yao's arms, felt wonderful and thought, "Hmmm, Zhao Yao loves me the most. At this critical moment, he is protecting me in his arms."
Project X walked out from the middle of the passageway and gazed at Zhao Yao and the cats as he smiled sarcastically. "Any more gimmicks?"
Zhao Yao sneered and raised up Matcha as he said, "Don't come over. One more step and I will strangle this cat."
Matcha was stunned.
Project X furrowed his brows and laughed. "He is your cat and the Time Freeze is a valuable superpower. I don't believe you will kill him."
"Don't believe?" Zhao Yao said grimly, "I have killed countless cats without any reason. You don't believe I will kill him? Good, I will burn him now!"
Zhao Yao scratched the floor with his steel column, creating fire sparks that jumped on Matcha's tail.
Matcha panicked and screamed, "I'm on fire! Extinguish the fire!" He was puzzled and thought, "Huh? Why is the fire not painful? Is my willpower so powerful?"
Zhao Yao said telepathically to him, "I had activated my superpower to shield your feelings of pain. Pretend to scream in pain."
Matcha said anxiously, "Zhao Yao, don't burn anymore. I am almost toasted!"
Zhao Yao reassured Matcha and said, "Don't worry, once the cooling down period of the Reborn superpower is over, I will beat you to death so that you can be revived. I guarantee that your tail will be better than new."
Matcha said, "You want to beat me to death?"
Zhao Yao coaxed, "It's alright. I will numb your feelings of pain. Once you shut and open your eyes, you will be a new cat."
Project X stared at Matcha's burning tail wide-eyed, ready to charge out.
He was stopped by Zhao Yao, who squeezed Matcha's neck and shouted, "Don't come over. I will kill this cat!"
Project X clenched his fists and gazed at Matcha's tail that was burning with increasing ferocity. "I don't believe you will kill him!"
"Try me!" Zhao Yao yelled, "There is no cat in this world that I will not kill!"
"Be careful!" Fish Ball blinked his eyes at Matcha and shouted, "Project X, don't come near. Zhao Yao will kill Matcha!"
Elizabeth added, "Zhao Yao ate a kitten who was just into his first month! Don't force him. He is willing to do anything!"
Project X's face turned very grave.
Matcha fumed as he said, "Are you all done? Is it time for idle chat? I am on fire! Whatever decision you are making, could you make it quick?"
Project X narrowed his eyes and his murderous intent rose within him as he uttered word by word, "What do you want?"
Zhao Yao said, "Merge all your clones into your body!"
Project X smiled wryly and said, "Impossible."
Matcha screamed, "Project X! Follow his orders! My bottom's toasted!"
Project X looked grave as he pondered for a while. He gazed deeply into Zhao Yao and shouted, "Okay, I hope you do as promised."
Clones came in from the darkness outside the main hall and merged into Project X.
