Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 369 – Cat Dad Believes in Himself

"What the hell is that?!"

"Another event?"

"This damn game company never tells the players what they are doing. It sucks."

"We are milking cash from this game, so we don't have the right to complain."

"Because of that mentality, the game company is scamming us. Don't you watch the news? People died playing this game."

"Shut it, boomer. We are here for money and superpower. You can't tell me what to do! Why are you here in the first place if you don't like the game?"

The players in Yeet City looked up and randomly exchanged their opinions while more airships came out from the large portal in the sky. Everybody was aware of the risks that came with the game, but they were willing to gamble their lives to obtain riches, immortality secrets, and superpowers.

On the airships, over 20,000 immortals looked down upon the players in the city. Some jeered while many spat at the crowd below.

Meanwhile, the flagship of the fleet slowly made its way out of the portal. From a glance, it was a fragile-looking wooden fortress. However, the passengers and the ship's crews were proud of their ship's materials and hull as the wood came from the W-2's sacred tree, which was sturdier, harder, and lighter than the finest ultra-rare weapons.

Three elderly men in white robes sat on a cushion at the bow of the flagship. Two remained emotionless, meditating. The last one gazed into the sky and sniffed the scent of the first air of this world.

"Disgusting. The thickness of Qi is lacking. Instead, the inferior "Mana" is everywhere."

All-Heaven Sage, the elderly man with an extremely long beard, eyebrows, and hair, disliked the putrid air of this world. He wished he could go back to W-2 and enjoyed the richness of Qi back home.

"Show some respect, Heaven Sage. You are in a mortal world. It's obvious that the Qi is thin."

The leader of the three sages reprimanded his subordinate. The elder that sat in the middle slowly stood up and brought out his long cane to help him walk.

From a glance, the sage leader seemed weak and fragile. From a mortal's standard, he could easily trip and fall to his death. Even a teenager might be able to snap his thin neck in half!

However, the two other white-haired elders didn't dare to disrespect the man.

Their leader was none other than Hongjun, the second-in-command of the Pangu Faction. His position was higher than Nian's as the cat was simply Pangu's familiar. Moreover, he was once the strongest sage before the Great Reset, and all deities in Heaven revered him as the father of all Daos.

Hongjun once had three disciples. All-Heaven Sage was one of Hongjun's two surviving disciples. The other one next to him was Zhunti, who had captured one of the protagonists from the W-2. As for the missing last disciple, he betrayed Hongjun during the Great Reset, and Hongjun personally killed him.

Afraid of Hongjun, All-Heaven Sage backed down and closed his mouth.

Seeing that his disciple behaved, Hongjun briefed them on their missions.

"Lord Pangu has instructed us to launch a full-scale attack on Slave Dungeon before the patch. Our spies reported that Mao Miaomiao has already arrived there before us, and he will definitely show up once we get closer to the dungeon."

Zhunti opened his eyes. He pinched his fingers and found a trace of Mao Miaomiao. Also, he discovered Hiiro Narukami and Nian in the courtyard of the cathedral below.

"Did Lord Pangu send Hiiro to attack the dungeon first? He has failed, it seems."

Hongjun's eyes turned pitch black for a moment as he read the karma of Hiiro. Then, he learned everything that Hiiro had experienced in the dungeon.

"It's one of the protagonist's fateful development. He has been suppressing all his peers in W-1, and his growth becomes stagnant. Now, he finally encounters a rival, and his strength will improve leap and bound. The same goes for his rival… Huh?"

Hongjun shifted his gaze toward the north, where the dungeon was located. He mumbled to himself and counted his fingers.

The finger-pinching and counting seemed silly and childish from a mortal's point of view. However, that was a deity's way of deducing fate, karma, and the future.

As Hongjun was curious about Hiiro's rival, he soon discovered the karma of Joshua and the Trumpet Alliance, aka the League of Archangels. As Joshua and the archangels were on Mu-Nyang's side, Hongjun thoroughly checked their relationship and past deeds.

As soon as he discovered that Shepherd was Joshua's clone, who had been created by Xiaomao, he burst into laughter.

"Oh, Joshua. You sly old fox. You have been hiding behind Devil and Mao Miaomiao in your previous life. Unfortunately for you, you can't hide the spotlight this time. You, the shadow of prototype war marionettes, will soon be exposed to the universe!"

"Joshua?! That useless deity?"

Zhunti and All-Heaven Sage were interested.

Hongjun snickered and reminisced about the past when the prototype marionettes, such as Devil, the creator of Mao Miaomiao, were born. At that time, he met a certain entity that had created the seven calamitous protagonists of the first era during the first Pangu Online Game Period.

"I'll tell you a story while our men are regrouping. It happened a long, long time ago, but I still vividly remembered that day. Remember when Mu-Nyang emerged and Lord Pangu went into panic mode?"

"Err, you meant, during the first player uprising calamity? Wasn't that because of the rebelling players from the first game?"

"There's an unsung story behind the scene. It started when Lord Pangu learned that Mu-Nyang was resurrected."

BOOM

After getting killed 92,756 times, Xiaomao finally managed to defeat Wei Huang at the max strength for the first time.

The clone of level-1200 Wei Huang panted as five flying swords pinned his head and torso to the ground. One of the swords pierced through his brain, but the Oni immortal survived with his willpower and Qi.

Despite being defeated, Wei Huang brightly smiled.

'Well done. Now, you have to kill me 998 more times with this difficulty and one more at 200% difficulty.'

Xiaomao, in his catman angel appearance, sat on the ground. His black wing folded, but his white wing spread and released the white feathers. The angel feathers transformed into white butterflies and orbited around Xiaomao, spraying particles on his wounds. His white tail made a 90 degrees angle as it got stuck in that form.

The wounds were instantly healed, and his Life Essence was fully restored.

"I'll do my best, grandpa. Also… sorry that I cheated."

Xiaomao felt bad for raising his cultivation base and stats before he challenged Wei Huang. As Xiaomao had stolen element Qi and Life Essence from Undine, Alice, and Nymph's clone, most of his element foundation attributes were at the maximum that his physique could hold. Moreover, his raw attributes drastically improved after he ate enough Life Essence from the girls.

After acquiring the protagonist class, his stats rapidly skyrocketed! He was no longer a player but a super raid boss monster!

Xiaomao couldn't see his status menu in the pocket dantian. Even if he could, he didn't care about them anymore as the number inflated so much that his real body was a lot stronger than his game character.

In addition, the menu didn't tell him which race he was. As Xiaomao inherited Wei Feng and Wei Xiong's Oni bloodline, he could borrow Oni's natural strength. At the same time, because of his catopus game character, his transformation sometimes came out as a cat boy in Japanese Anime. Moreover, because of his relationship with Mao Miaomiao, his tentacles moved to his back and created odd wings, turning them into a second Qi storage area.

Each black and white feather contained one type of elemental Qi, which was equal to the maximum amount of Life Essence that his dantian held. He had about 500,000 combined feathers, thus he had 500,000 backup dantians to pull the endless energy from.

Because of all these cheats, Xiaomao felt bad.

Wei Huang noticed the look on Xiaomao's face. He sneered and flipped a middle finger at him.

'If you feel bad, you mustn't lose to me again! Come on. Finish me off and resummons me. I want a rematch!'

Xiaomao swiped his finger over his eyes. He stood up and pointed his finger at Wei Huang.

"Compress."

BOOM

The entire body of Wei Huang was crushed into a round meatball before it dissipated into dust. Once the dust settled, Xiaomao opened his dantian menu and summoned Wei Huang with the highest possible strength and difficulty.

As an 8th-stage cultivator, the soul formation realm cultivator with 19 nascent souls, Xiaomao strived to be on par with level-2000 immortals!

"I… am… a protagonist of my life."

Xiaomao hypnotized himself and pressed the summon button.

VIIING

His black wing and white wing shone and spread. 19 nascent souls emerged from his wings and formed a formation as if they were soldiers. Everybody represented their Daos, element, and unique domain ability.

Wei Huang reappeared in the dantian. He immediately transformed into an Oni and summoned 12 avatars of his constellations. Each constellation summoned another batch of 12 nascent souls to form new formations.

The 20-VS-156 match resumed!

Meanwhile, Mao Miaomiao couldn't stop looking toward Xiaomao's house. The aura of a heavenly fate crystal was so thick that he had goosebumps.

Meowmeow also noticed it. He clicked his tongue.

"He begins to believe, munya."

"That's a protagonist's power-up period for you. When they overcome an obstacle, their strength jumps to another tier. He should be at the same level as the low-tier immortal by now."

"I don't think so. That thickness is the same as mid-tier, munya. He is probably on par with Undine or that intruder without the domain buff. By the way, you should be going, munya. Don't waste your time here."

"You don't understand how addictive it is, dude. Have you ever been a parent? Seeing your son grow right in front of your eyes is the most precious moment."

"You can come back and flirt with your son later! NOW SCRAM, MUNYA!"
