Am I A God?

Aoyama Hattori continued, “If you all want to break off the engagement you can say it. I won’t blame you.”

Hideki Kujo’s expression became serious. He said sternly, “Nanako and Kappei fell in love at first sight. She wishes to marry him and will not marry anyone else. Though I am her brother, I still respect her wish.”

Aoyama Hattori looked at him in the eyes. “Alright,” was all he said.

Hideki Kujo lowered his head, hiding a smile. Although Aoyama betrayed no sign of rage on his face, his anger seeped from his tone and demeanor, as well as the slight satisfaction of his last sentence.

However, this had nothing to do with him. The only person to suffer would be the one who hurt Kappei Hattori. Kappei’s current critical condition would benefit his plan later on.

As for Nanako’s happiness and will? Neither Hideki Kujo nor Aoyama Hattori really considered or had any intention to consider these things. She was a woman after all. Her family groomed and raised her into the person she was today. A little sacrifice from her was not too much to ask.

What they coveted was simply the benefits which the union between the Kujo and Hattori families would bring to either family.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Right at this moment, the sound of the hospital doors being slammed open reverberated from the far end of the corridor.

A tall strong man barged in and his terrifying aura was instantly felt. He had the look of a devil: sinister and ruthless. When he saw Aoyama Hattori, he anxiously asked, “Father, how is Kappei’s condition?”

Hideki Kujyo stole a glance at this muscular man before retreating a few steps back. This brash, violent-looking man was Kappei Hattori’s elder brother, Kaede Hattori, the eldest son of the Hattori family.

As he sized up Kaede Hattori, fear flashed in Hideki Kujyo’s eyes. Compared to Kappei Hattori, his brother was far stronger and superior to him.

Despite his young age, he had become the hero of the Special Higher Police. After the supercats were awakened, he became an apostle as well. He gained various supercat powers with the help of the Hattori family. His fighting prowess grew as he killed countless strong supercats and apostles and became the nightmare of countless rogue apostles in Japan. He was also one of the top five most capable apostles in the Japanese government, known as a one-man army.

In the world of superpowers, the name Kaede Hattori commanded more respect than the whole Hattori family.

“Kaede.” At the sight of his eldest son, Aoyama Hattori unconsciously let out a sigh of relief and told him about Kappei Hattori’s condition.

As Kaede Hattori heard what was being said, his terrifying aura intensified. It peaked as he smashed his fist against the wall of the hospital, where web-like cracks appeared instantly.

A few hours later, Kappei Hattori was moved out of the operating theatre to the intensive care unit.

The doctor shook his head at Aoyama Hattori and said “The patient’s injuries are too severe. We have stitched up his wounds for now, but for him to recover fully he will have to undergo many more operations. As to what extent he will recover, we cannot guarantee anything.”

Aoyama Hattori and Kaede Hattori walked to his bedside and stared at the unconscious Kappei Hattori.

“Father, you must leave this matter to me,” Kaede Hattori said resolutely. “Whoever hurt Kappei, I will make him regret not killing himself there and then.”

Aoyama Hattori nodded. For the next few days, the whole Hattori family activated their powers, with Kaede Hattori as their center. Immense power radiated out from his body in all directions, like the tidal waves of a huge sea monster. This resulted in even more disorder in the already chaotic Tokyo.

However, Zhao Yao was completely unaware that they had invited another archenemy and continued with his carefree days.

That night, he was seen bolting through the Tokyo buildings in search of people who needed help.

Suddenly, Zhao Yao’s ears twitched as he heard a piercing scream from afar. He bolted there in an instant.

He saw a man leaning on the office window repeatedly pressing his palms and leaving handprints on it. There was another man behind him exercising. The man in front had a golden exclamation mark flashing above his head.

The golden exclamation mark above the man’s head meant that it was Zhao Yao’s first mission in a long time.

He hesitated, “This is not an easy mission. I have my limits too.”

On the other side of the city, in the hotel where Zhao Yao was staying, Matsuo paced around worriedly. Beside him, Bai Quan was lying on the bed and practicing his virgin boy power.

At first, Cannon was so focused on watching cat films on his phone that his hands shook, but Matsuo’s anxious steps made him meow out in annoyance, “Aren’t you tired of pacing back and forth? It’s so annoying that I can’t concentrate on using my powers!”

However, Matsuo could not understand what his meowing meant. Matsuo walked to Bai Quan with a face full of worry and tried to convince him, “Bai Quan, should we just move to another place? When the Spirit Army previously attacked us they already recognized me. Staying here is too dangerous. They will definitely find us.”

Upon hearing that, Bai Quan simply smiled, showing his eight white teeth and said “Don’t worry, we’ll be fine. I am very skillful and Boss is even more capable than me.”

Matuso’s face fell again when he heard Bai Quan’s reply. During this period, he had been trying to persuade Zhao Yao and Bai Quan to go into hiding, but the two were very nonchalant about it. They only cared about having fun all day.

Zhao Yao even insisted on going out every night to wander. He only returned the next morning with dark eye circles.

“These youngsters seriously have no self-control,” Matsuo sighed, shaking his head.

At the same time, jets of black smoke snaked over the sky above the hotel.

These swirls of smoke were the spirits from the Spirit Army. Within a few hours, hundreds of thousands of spirits had gathered and floated in mid-air, camouflaged by the night sky. No one noticed that the number of spirits became and greater and greater by the minute.

At the center of the Spirit Army, ten of human-like spirits with solid bodies hovered in the air, staring coldly at the building beneath their feet.

The head of the army was a middle-aged man possessed by Momo. She looked at the building below and said “They are right here. Matsuo, that traitor, and the two Chinese guys.”

The ten bodies around Momo were living spirits she spent a huge amount of time and energy to create. They could be said to be the strongest batch of spirits amongst all the other spirits she commanded. On top of having the basic powers of a spirit, each of them also retained most of the superpowers each apostle had when they possessed them.

Momo’s power was her ability to rob a part of the debtor’s soul and create living spirits out of them. The greater the debt of the person, the greater the part of the soul that would be robbed and the stronger the living spirit created, as it would have greater innate power.

Those ten apostle spirits were her precious creations, made by scamming the apostles out of their money, leaving them bankrupt and saddled in a mountain of debt.
