Under Time Freeze, Zhao Yaoâs Time Freeze ability was still in itâs cooling off period, hence he was unable to activate the Ultra Rapid Regeneration ability. Zhao Yaoâs body visibly melted and dissipated into puffs of bloody smoke in the air as the high-energy laser beams blasted his body.
For Project X, Zhao Yaoâs strong physique withstood the attack for 10 seconds under Time Freeze. Relative to his own Time Freeze, Zhao Yao actually withstood the attack for 80 seconds.
The next moment, Zhao Yao had completely turned into ashes.
However, much to Project Xâs surprise, it was as if the clock turned back as Zhao Yaoâs physique reassembled itself from the ashes and materialized in thin air. He grabbed Project X by the head and threw him out before turning to the other Project X to fight.
âHe can still regenerate and revive?â Project X was shocked. âHe could enter the Time Freeze mode immediately after regeneration. Is this a derivative power of Matchaâs? This orange cat is getting more and more interesting.â
After Matchaâs regeneration ability was activated, it would immediately enter the Time Freeze mode. Zhao Yao made use of this special characteristic to activate Time Freeze again, even as his body was being burnt into pieces.
Project Xâs 12 seconds of Time Freeze passed in a flash. Using his own extended duration of Time Freeze, Zhao Yao crushed the two doppelgangers of Project X into puddles of flesh and blood. Even so, he did not look happy at all.
âI canât continue fighting like this. Fighting with Project X based on regeneration and brute force is meaningless. I have to change to a different fighting style.â
Time resumed its flow. Another two doppelgangers emerged from Project Xâs shadows.
âThis is never-ending. Whatâs up with Sang Biaoâs physical evolution abilities? Can he really create physical doppelgangers endlessly?â
As Zhao Yao and the other Project Xs fought beyond a thousand meters, breaking walls and destroying everything in their path, Elizabeth slowly sat up in the main hall as she stared at Matcha, Fish Ball, and Lightning, who were still in Project Xâs arms.
The three cats were, however, unconscious. Project X seemed to sense Elizabethâs gaze as he turned towards her and spoke calmly, âYou better stay where you are and not move an inch. Or else I will have no choice but to rob you of your ability and kill you on the spot.â
Elizabeth had no intention of moving. Although she could control the other party right now, she could not be sure that there were no other Project Xs around them.
She just activated her power of illusion and removed Matcha, Fish Ball, and Lightningâs five senses before transmitting her own voice into their consciousness to awaken them and drag them into her illusion.
The three cats woke up very quickly. When they opened their eyes, it was pitch-black all around, except for the glowing Elizabeth before them.
Matcha asked, âWhatâs going on? How did you appear, Elizabeth? Am I dreaming?â
Fish Ball replied, âYou idiot, it must be an illusion! Elizabeth, whatâs the situation now?â
Elizabeth briefly explained to them before she asked, âWhat are you guys doing? Why is Project X hugging you all? And he hasnât even took away your intelligence?â
Matcha laughed awkwardly as he said, âMaybe he thinks weâre handsome and smart so it would be a waste if we turned into normal catsâŚâ
âIdiot! Do you think this is a time to tell lies?â Fish Ball smacked the back of Matchaâs head with his paw as he told Elizabeth, âBased on my experience in dating cats, I am 99% sure that Project X is in love with Matcha.â
âWhat?!â Elizabeth was in disbelief, âThat weird cat wonât even spare a second glance at me, why would he like Matcha?â
âŚ
Outside the illusionâŚ
Project X glanced at Elizabeth from afar. Seeing that she remained on her spot, he frowned and thought to himself, âThis female cat is so annoying. Why does she keep staring at me?â
âŚ
In the illusionâŚ
Fish Ball explained the situation before he concluded, âI am very sure about this. This guy is gay and he likes the ordinary-looking, next-door orange cat type, just like Matcha.â
Matcha was annoyed when he heard Fish Ballâs words. He pointed to his droopy ears and said indignantly, âLook at this pair of folded ears. Look at them! Look at these ears and touch your heart before you speak. How could you say theyâre âordinary-lookingâ?â
Fish Ball walked up to him and chomped down on Matchaâs ears, straightening them at once. âDonât touch your ears so carelessly. What if Project X doesnât like your folded ears.â
âWhat the f*ck!â Matcha burst out in rage. âI donât care if he likes it or not! No one is allowed to touch my ears!â
Fish Ball got into a tussle with Matcha as he said angrily, âCanât you see Zhao Yao is about to lose the fight? Whether we can save the world depends on you now!â
âNoooo!â Matcha screamed angrily, âEven if Iâm beaten to death or robbed of my intelligence and turned into an idiot I would never ever turn gay for this!â
Lightning rambled at the side, âLike what you guys said, Project X can manipulate his physical form and turn it into anything he wants. Does that mean he can turn into a male or a female or basically any kind of cat he wants to turn into?â
When he realized Fish Ball, Matcha, and Elizabeth were all staring at him disdainfully, Lightning immediately shook his head in defense as he tried to explain himself, âHey! What are you guys thinking of⌠Donât look at me like Iâm perverted. Iâm just making guesses!â
âŚ
On Dollâs side, a mass of new data appeared in front of him.
Headless reported, âA 3.2 magnitude earthquake was detected. It originated fromâŚâ
Doll interjected, âIs Project X fighting someone else now?â
Headless exclaimed, âThe machine detector located Kun Wu! But, there someone else with her.â
Doll asked, âWhere? Bring me to her!â
âŚ
Bam! Bam!
As sounds of the ground exploding boomed, Zhao Yao and Project X burst through the wall once again and returned to the center of the main hall.
Project X smirked, âEven regeneration is not endless, how many times will Matchaâs ability allow you to regenerate? Twice? Once? Or none at all? We will know in the next Time Freeze.â
âD*mn it!â Zhao Yao gritted his teeth in anger. He did not expect Project X to become so hard to deal with after Project X gained Sphynx catâs abilities.
Right at this moment, Elizabeth communicated to him telepathically, âZhao Yao! Project X has a liking for Matcha.â
âWhat?â Zhao Yaoâs first reaction was disbelief, but the next moment, his eyes flashed as he recalled, âItâs not impossible. Sphynx catâs abilities includes reversing his sexual orientation. Since Project X robbed his abilities, he would definitely suffer from the side effects of this power. Thatâs why he didnât kill Matcha and the rest but carried them here with him.

Heâs not using Matcha and the others as hostages. Heâs trying to protect them.â
However, affection alone was useless. From Project Xâs behavior, the fact that he could knock Matcha and the rest unconscious and want Zhao Yaoâs life showed that he was not the kind of supercat that would stop fighting just because of his affection for Matcha.
Moreover, such affection was mainly based on Matchaâs abilities. Once Project X realizes the significance behind this, even Zhao Yao would not be able to predict what Project X would do.
âBut, we may be able to make use of this point.â
