885 Contracting Diana ?

All the cats were terrified and astonished the moment Doomsday disappeared.

In the chaotic Awareness Dimension, three invisible forces of energy collided with each other.

Each time they collided, huge masses of information exchanged between them.

"I caught the target. It has the ability of traversing the Awareness Dimension and creating forced pregnancies."

"It's so rare for a subspecies to have such abilities."

"This ability is very useful for us. It can speed up the breeding of subspecies and increase the production of superpowers. I will bring him back. What do the two of you plan to do next?"

"I want to stay here and play for a while more."

"Me too. This planet looks pretty interesting. I have found a way to incorporate the dawn of awareness here.

…

In the material world, Zhao Yao sniffed hard at the air around him. However, he could not smell the scent of any unfamiliar cats. He quickly switched to the extradimensional belly and asked Project X about the situation.

Project X said, "It's the dawn of awareness. They can infiltrate the dreamscape to occupy the awareness of other lives. Your cats' awareness must have been occupied, taking away their ability to traverse the dreamscape."

Zhao Yao grinded his teeth before he said, "They can occupy our awareness as long as we enter our dreams? Is there no way to stop this?"

Project X replied, "They have stronger and better control over the energy in the Awareness Dimension, which you don't have. You can only activate your superpowers with your innate capabilities. Since you're fighting against them in the Awareness Dimension, you will naturally be powerless against them."

Zhao Yao nodded. He understood that the current situation was worse than he had expected. He did not know what the other party would do after taking Doomsday with them. Zhao Yao decided to speed up his original plan to take over the Star Cats, collect the meteorite fragments, treat Roly Poly, and revive Sphynx cat.

Zhao Yao looked at Project X again and asked, "Do you know how to gain control of the Awareness Dimension?"

Project X shook his head, "Do you think they will actually impart this ability to me? As long as I do not have the power to control the Awareness Dimension, I will be powerless against them no matter how great my destructive power is in the material world. This was the only reason why they were assured enough to let me out."

Zhao Yao nodded and looked at his Book panel. He began to think whether he could contract a supercat with a connection to the dreamscape and level up the supercat to see if it could gain the ability to control the Awareness Dimension.

Book: Level 7 (70 217/50 000)

Matcha: Level 8 (12 510/50 000)

Elizabeth: Level 9 (6 300/100 000)

Dust Ball: Level 9 (5 600/100 000)

Ares: Level 8 (5 600/50 000)

Lucifer: Level 8 (700/50 000)

Sphynx Cat: Level 7 (5 700/20 000)

Catherine: Level 8 (700/50 000)

"I can directly level up the Book now. However, that would leave me with around 20 000 points, which can increase the level of the newly contracted supercat to Level 7 at most."

It was not Zhao Yao's first time leveling up to Level 7. However, there was never a sign of power to control other dimensions. His worry was that the newly contracted supercat might not be able to attain this power.

The only thing Zhao Yao was looking forward to was a higher level, the evolution module he would gain after collecting 100% of the meteorite fragments and the drawing of rewards at the end of every month.

"Even if I can't attain the power to control the Awareness Dimension, I should perhaps obtain a dream-related superpower so that I won't be powerless if I am attacked."

Zhao Yao decided to level up the Book first after thinking about it.

In that instant, when he tapped to level up, a numbing sensation rose in his body. He was inheriting the powers of Catherine, the previously contract cat.

As he had inherited Sphynx cat's powers before that, Zhao Yao only felt a slight sensation this time round. After the inheriting process ended, he only felt a small increase in his physical capabilities.

However, given his current physical prowess, even if he used the training ability to improve his skills, the incremental effects would become smaller and smaller and eventually become ineffective. Catherine's powers were said to produce merely instant results.

After leveling up the Book to Level 8, Zhao Yao thought for a bit and called Diana over. He decided to contract this sister of Elizabeth's.

After the contracting was done, the main missions of leveling up the Book and contracting supercats were completed. Zhao Yao gained another 6 000*2 experience points the book became Book: Level 8 (32 217/50 000). The main mission was updated as well.

Main Mission: Inherit more supercat powers and catch more supercats

Mission Objective: Upgrade Book to Level 9 and gain the powers of the ninth supercat.

Reward: 10 000 experience points

Mission Penalty: None

"Haha, I almost forgot about the experience points from this main mission. However, the extra 12 000 experience points is still not enough for me to level up to Level 8. Luckily, I still have 7 skill points. If I use one or two skill points on Diana…"

Zhao Yao stared at Diana's panel and smiled expectantly. Diana clutched her big tail at the said and asked anxiously, "Zhao Yao! What are you trying to do?"

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry. It's a good thing. I will boost your superpower."

"Really!" Diana looked at Zhao Yao in delight. She had long been envious and jealous of Elizabeth and Catherine as both of them had their superpowers upgraded. She bumped her head repeatedly against Zhao Yao's calf as she said, "Zhao Yao, you're so nice."

Zhao Yao added all the experience points to Diana at once, leveling her up to Level 7. After that, he opened the ability tree to take a look.

Diana's ability was called the Nightmare Lord in the Book. She could create all sorts of dreamscapes in the target after the target fell asleep.

This was an ability of dreams to begin with. This ability was not an offensive one by itself. The target would just get a nightmare and not feel good the next day at most.

After Zhao Yao leveled up to Level 7, an immediate difference could be seen when all the layers of the ability tree were added together, especially after the addition of two growth skills with one skill point.

Nightmare Lord: After coming into contact with the target, a dreamscape can be implanted in the target's body. After the target falls asleep, the ability to induce dreams can be activated within a 50km range from the target, pulling the target into the dreamscape. When adjusting to the target's dreamscape, change the dreamscape by moving the things in it or speeding up time.

Each time a dreamscape is created, 7 (the Level of the Book) *1% of the subconscious can be extracted from the target and yourself to be combined and added into the dreamscape.

1 second in the real world is equivalent to 7 (the Level of the Book) *1 hour in the dreamscape.

Each time the dreamscape ends, there is a mental impact on the energy level of the target. It ranges from a maximum of not sleeping for 7 days to a minimum of not sleeping for a day.

After tapping on all seven layers of the ability tree and adding the two growth skills under Level 6, Diana's Nightmare Lord ability instantly increased by a large margin.

This could be said to be a very secretive and immensely powerful skill.

After coming into contact with the other party and planting the dreamscape, a nightmare attack could be conducted within a 50km range from the target.

The effects of each nightmare attack might only be equivalent to a day of not sleeping but after attacking continuously for more than 10 times, the target could actually suffer severe mental injuries to the point of becoming brain-dead.

Furthermore, if Zhao Yao used this power together with Elizabeth and Catherine's powers, the combined superpowers of the mother and daughter trio would even be enough to kill Project X.

However, Zhao Yao still felt that it was a pity as he stared at this superpower. It did not have the power to come into contact with the so-called Awareness Dimension.

Even so, at least Zhao Yao had some defensive power in the dreamscape now.

"Looks like I have to find other ways to attain the power to control the Awareness Dimension. It's either I continue to level up Diana or use the evolution module after collecting all the meteorite fragments."

Zhao Yao still decided to take over the Star Cats first. He would decide on his next move after collecting the experience points and meteorite fragments.
