As Kensei Yagyu rejoined the fight, Apollo looked at the blood red cocoon Kaede Hattori used to defend himself. He tilted his head, stretched out his hand and clenched his fist.

"Black hole radiation."

Using the gravitation ability developed by America’s supercomputer, the gravitational force that before was acting downwards on Kaede Hattori changed. It started acting in different directions.

All the other American Apostles followed suit and used the same attack. Kaede Hattori felt like he was being sucked into a black hole. The gravitational force acting on him in all directions was pulling him apart.

Even his Divine Rays of Terror could not withstand such gravity. They could only act in the opposite direction to neutralize the force.

Hundreds of Apostles were constantly changing the direction of their gravitational force. There was no way Kaede Hattori could change the direction of his Divine Rays of Terror at the rate of the hundreds of Apostles. Kaede Hattori was badly injured almost immediately. The blood red cocoon shattered around him and cuts started appearing on his skin. Blood was oozing out from his wounds and flowing upwards due to the gravitational force.

Apollo commented coldly, "Do you know that gravity travels at the speed of light? This means that you have nowhere to hide. Hattori, you have already lost this battle."

Despite hearing that, Kaede Hattori continued his attack on the Apostles. However the Apostles who were hit by the Divine Rays of Terror remained in their positions and appeared untouched.

Kaede Hattori’s face turned solemn,"They are all projected images?"

Apollo smirked. "Other than traveling at the speed of light, the gravitational force has another defining characteristic. It acts on everything despite the distance, from the smallest cells to galaxies. We are attacking you from somewhere that is beyond your reach. Hattori, you do not even have the chance to fight back."

Gravity travels at the speed of light. Furthermore, the hundreds of Apostles attacking in every direction made up for the weakened gravitational force due to the long distance.

This resulted in Kaede Hattori being unable to defend himself. In fact, he was pinned to where he stood by the violent gravitational force, unable to launch a counterattack, unable to hide.

This was an attack planned specifically to counter Kaede Hattori’s Divine Rays of Terror. The effects of these hundreds of Apostles attacking would be far more effective than thousands of Apostles with different abilities attacking together.

Zhao Yao was cautioned by what he saw. Even people with abilities as strong as Kaede Hattori’s, once targeted, could be badly defeated. This further proved his point of remaining under the radar and hiding his abilities.

It also showcased the importance of military intelligence in a battle between the superpowered. Kaede Hattori was overconfident. Although he had strong abilities, he was still mortal. All mortals have weaknesses.

"Unpredictability is what makes superpower truly powerful."

As he thought, Zhao Yao gently pushed his palm forward and Kensei Yagyu’s shadow blade was frozen in midair by the Deflective Field.

Kensei Yagyu wielded his katana and sent shadow blades to slash Zhao Yao. He then used Shadow Jump and charged towards Kaede Hattori. To Kensei Yagyu, Zhao Yao was only an insignificant person from China.

In Kensei Yagyu’s eyes, Zhao Yao was a dead man. He placed all his attention on Kaede Hattori and continued charging towards him.

Kaede Hattori was the strongest enemy Kensei Yagyu ever met. He had to kill Hattori, even if it meant that he had to give up his honor and attack him while he is surrounded.

If Hattori lived, the Kujyo and the entire Yagyu family would have to suffer the wrath of his revenge.

However, while he was charging towards Kaede Hattori, he, like the whole hall, was blissfully unaware.

They hadn’t noticed that the black sword aura attacking Zhao Yao was frozen in midair and had shattered into pieces before it even reached Zhao Yao.

Fish Ball was risen in the air by the Deflective Field. A bright light glared from the sky like a mini Sun lighting up the hall.

Kensei Yagyu suddenly realized that there were no longer any shadows around him. He had lost his chance of shadow jumping.

Next, a Ragdoll cat, Catherine, appeared in front of him. The moment he saw Catherine, his subconscious relaxed. He fell into a deep sleep and was no longer in Shadow mode.

His body tensed up as he opened his eyes. He was lifted up by his head.

Instinctively, he wanted to retaliate but no matter how hard he tried, nothing moved, not even his hands, legs, body or eyes. His ability to turn into a shadow had also completely disappeared.

He was thrown off guard. "He took me down without even showing himself? Who is this person?" He thought.

He squinted hard to try and see who had taken him down. Looking at the glaring red light in that person’s eyes and the cold face, Kensei Yagyu was astounded, "It’s the Chinese guy?"

After seeing Kensei Yagyu’s face change, Zhao Yao frowned. " Roly Poly, how many times must I tell you? My face needs to be invisible! My face needs to be invisible!"

Roly Poly curled his lips in annoyance and whispered to himself, "You keep changing what you want. How am I supposed to know?"

Zhao Yao asked Elizabeth to activate her illusion powers and Zhao Yao now looked like Kaede Hattori’s dead grandfather, Matsuyama Hattori. Furthermore, Zhao Yao took the mask from Dust Ball’s mouth and wore it.

Dust Ball opened his mouth again and released Sphynx cat. Zhao Yao said," Sphynx cat, go with Roly Poly to look for the Americans."

Roly Poly grabbed onto Sphynx cat’s neck and both of them shot off to go look for Apollo and his men. The other supercats could not stay invisible but Elizabeth used her illusion powers and hid them from sight.

It was a dangerous and fierce fight. Once he started fighting, his strategy was to stay safe and sound. The first thing he did was to release Sphynx cat and then use the PowerUp card.

With a flick of his palm, Zhao Yao had activated Ares’s Deflective Field. Kensei Yagyu was thrown out immediately and he crashed through two walls before falling onto the ground covered in blood.

Kensei Yagyu wanted to stand up but he vomited out a mouthful of blood instead. His eyes wide open, he glared at Zhao Yao who currently had the appearance of Matsuyama Hattori.

The abnormal situation quickly caught Apollo and Hideki Kujyo’s attention.

Apollo frowned in disbelief,"Matsuyama Hattori? You are still alive?"

Hideki Kujyo eyes were also filled with doubt. After noticing the special sound waves in the air, he was puzzled, "It is the same kind of vibration. What is this exactly?"

Those in hiding— Nanako, Sylvie, Kappei Hattori, and others— were equally shocked by the appearance of Matsuyama Hattori.

Upon hearing Apollo, a thought came to Zhao Yao’s mind, "Am I seeing an illusion? This means that they are not far away. Sphinx cat go and search the roofs nearby."

Kaede Hattori was also very shocked to see Matsuyama Hattori. "Grandpa?"

Zhao Yao laughed loudly and used Old Cat to translate, "Kaede, you did well. I faked my own death and hid in the mountains for 30 years to train hard for the Fist of the World King. Now, look closely, this is the Fist of the World King that has been passed down in our family for generations."

Zhao Yao was covered in golden flames he punched forward. The golden flames were like a magnificent dragon that swallowed Kaede Hattori completely. At the same time, it disintegrated the gravitational force that was attacking him.
