Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 392 – Cat Dad's Friends Meet Cat Dad's Mothers

Xiaomao flipped the Heaven Fate Crystal around. He stared at it and thought of Mu-Nyang and the time they spent together on Earth. Although he was supposed to offer this thing to Mu-Nyang, his right eyebrow couldn't stop twitching as if it was warning him about the pending doom.

He put the thing in his inventory for now. Then, he visited the others as the intruder situation had been cleared.

Undine and Nymph gathered all guardians here to tally the casualties. The loss was immense.

Cernun, Alice, Madoka, Meowmeow, Shepherd, Titania, Qidia, and Cookie passed away. The reinforcement from the Desert Frontier was annihilated, and Ma Xingjuan retreated along with Ma Moxi. Fu De was abducted by Mao Miaomiao, but both of them went missing as well.

Taotie, Mimir, and Party Queen survived the ordeal. They recovered from the injuries, but their mood was foul.

Undine looked at the remaining staff members. Taotie, Mimir, Yuan Hua, Gata, Joan, Torrent, James, Peter, Andrew, John, Ifrit, Lucky, and Nymph. They were the only ones remaining. As for Wei Zhi, she had no idea about the ordeal as she had been cultivating on the B6 floor, taking a bath in a lava pool.

Yuan Hua was the saddest one. She lost her husband and her sisters. She couldn't stop crying as she had lost everything – Family, home, and friends.

Mimir patted Yuan Hua, but he flinched as his attached limbs were still incomplete. He sighed.

"Mao Miaomiao and Xiaomao saved us all. Pangu launched an all-out attack on us. He even sent [Protagonists] here."

Lucky, Undine, and other mortals were curious, "What's protagonists, senior?"

"Main characters of the generation… Actually, it's better for the protagonist himself to explain, no?"

Everybody paused. Then, they turned around as they sensed the aura of their savior.

Xiaomao entered the B10 floor through the local teleportation platform. He arrived at the large empty parking lot, where the army of Party Girls, Scarlet War Maidens, Mannequins, and everybody had been using as a gathering point.

Upon arrival, Xiaomao gazed at everybody's faces and expressions. They looked gloomy and dejected even after the victory.

"I guess you have been talking about me, munya."

Mimir nodded, "Yes. We wish to hear about the true meaning of the protagonist's existence. What are they?"

Xiaomao took a deep breath and explained what he had learned from the system. He also wrote down the list of current protagonists, antagonists, deuteragonists, and others.

.

.

10 minutes later, Xiaomao stopped talking. The pain in his right eyebrow was so severe that he pressed on it. Then, he looked up as he sensed the new auras of newcomers on the B1 floor.

Mimir, Taotie, and the immortals noticed Xiaomao's expression. They rushed to a dungeon console room inside the nearest skyscraper building. When they entered the room and checked the CCTV cameras and the 3D map, they found a new group of people entering the dungeon.

Their faces were pale as they weren't ready to take on the new wave of invaders. However, when they spotted a weretiger player, they burst into laughter.

The cavalry arrived late. It was Jungwoo and his friends.

Xiaomao sent his voice transmission to Mimir and everybody, "I need someone to prepare a place for our new guests, munya. By the way, I haven't checked the Song Family yet. How are they doing, and where are the MOBS guys?"

Mimir replied, "Lord Meowmeow entrusted the coordination tasks to me. The Song Family and the humans are doing fine in B11. We built enough facilities for them to operate, and they are using the old ant nest as their training ground. The MOBS players are guiding them, by the way."

"What about the free buildings? Are there any, munya?"

"Undine contributed rare minerals and materials to the factory on B14 and created 30,000 human-like mannequins to guard this floor. Most buildings and rooms on the B10 floor are their offices, unfortunately. B9 and B12 can't be used since they're all full."

Without Meowmeow, Xiaomao had to operate the dungeon himself. He went back to the B7 floor and entered the treasure room. He touched the dungeon core and summoned the dungeon master menu.

The complicated windows and menus popped up. Xiaomao skimmed through the features and buttons while he inspected the dungeon status.

Meowmeow worked very hard. Xiaomao shed a tear of sadness as he missed the cat senior. Without him, this dungeon wouldn't have been this prosperous.

Seeing many available floors, Xiaomao relayed his order, "Senior Mimir, please bring your people and escort Jungwoo and his beast colleagues to the B13 floor. I'll be copy-pasting the layout of the B9 floor to the B13 as a temporary measure, munya. I don't know if they want a forest floor, so please ask them for me, munya."

"Sure."

Mimir went to work. He requested help from Nymph and Undine, and the trio went up to welcome the beast tribes. Unfortunately, they immediately encountered a problem as Lu Bu and his friends destroyed so many teleportation platforms and devices on the higher floors. They requested Xiaomao's help.

As usual, they communicated through their telepathic voice.

"Xiaomao, can you repair the TP stations?"

"Oh, sure. I'm on it, munya."

Xiaomao browsed the map and found the red X marks, which highlighted the broken traps and facilities of the dungeon. He pressed on it in the 3D map, and the dungeon menu prompted him.

<Please choose your action – [Remove], [Repair], [Build], [Move].>

It felt like he was playing a simulation game. Xiaomao now understood why Meowmeow had been hogging this menu to himself as it was fun to operate.

Xiaomao hovered his finger over the repair button. But then, he noticed the price tag. It cost 1,000 MP per full repair.

"…"

Dungeon MP was automatically generated every second. Therefore, repairing cost nothing. However, the sheer number of X marks on the map discouraged Xiaomao. If he wished to repair everything, he might have to spend days pressing on every X mark in the 3D map.

'Is there any [Repair All] button?'

Unfortunately, there was no such feature. Xiaomao was forced to manually press the X marks and confirm the repair options.

"Annoying, munya."

Xiaomao transformed into a Cathulhu, but he purposely shrank his body size to 2 meters tall. Using his hundred tentacles, he multi-tasked, pressing as many red marks as he could.

"MUNYA MUNYA MUNYA MUNYA!"

.

.

The teleportation platforms were instantly repaired. Mimir, Undine, and Nymph opened a portal and appeared at the entrance of the B1 floor.

Jungwoo had been waiting for the seniors. He reverted to his human form and greeted them.

"I'm so sorry, senior. We came late."

Mimir patted Jungwoo's shoulders, "It's good that you and your friends are unharmed. By the way, could you introduce us to your friends?"

"Of course, sir. Umm, this is my mentor, Mao Xueyan. And this is the guardian of the beast forest, Mao Dandan. This ent senior here is the clone of Lord Ohuhuhohohu, the world tree of beasts. As for the s-s-senior over here…"

Jungwoo stuttered and quickly averted his eyes from the dryad behind the two tigresses. His face was bright red in embarrassment.

Mimir looked at the four leaders of the Beast Forest. The tall muscular tiger girl was Mao Dandan, one of the seven calamity fiends. The refined tigress woman next to her was Dandan's elder sister, who was the leader of all beast tribes. The 3-meter tall ent waved his branches while his face on the tree trunk smiled at him.

However, the last guest was intimidating. She had the aura of a deity like Meowmeow and Madoka. She also walked around without wearing anything.

She was the calamity fiend of lust, aka the temptress queen. Mimir had learned about her from Cernun.

"You must be Emerald Hopea that I heard of," Mimir politely bowed his head.

The dryad queen, Emerald Hopea, had long green hair, a perfect refined body for a mother, an ample chest, and a pretty face. Her raw beauty was superior to Mao Xueyan, Dandan, Undine, and other women in the dungeon.

Emerald Hopea charmingly smiled at Mimir, Undine, and Nymph. She paused and sized up the two mermaids in their human forms for a moment.

"I've also heard a lot about you. Thank you very much for taking care of Xiaomao."

"…"

From her tone and expression, it wasn't hard to guess that Hopea was one of Mao Miaomiao's wives, aka Xiaomao's stepmothers. Undine and Nymph wryly smiled as they didn't expect to greet their mother-in-law so soon.

Hopea giggled. Then, she dropped a bomb, giving Mimir, Undine, and Nymph new hope.

"It might be sudden, but Cernun has a strong karma tie with me. His soul is in my dantian universe at the moment, and he is currently recuperating. It will take about 100 years or so for him to be reincarnated again."

"R-Really?!"

The trio gasped in shock. They thought that Cernun already kicked the bucket.

​ Hopea continued, "Yes. When immortals die, their bodies produce a soul crystal. If we collect them, we can give them to a deity like me. We can sacrifice some of our life force to resurrect them. Also, I know a former Samsara God that can resurrect immortals and mortals whenever he wants to."

"ACHOO!"

A lone beggar had been levitating over an open sea. He sneezed while he was holding a fishing rod, waiting for prey to bite.

Meng Xin swiped his nose and flickered a booger to the sea. A rhino shark suddenly submerged and opened its mouth, trying to bite him.

Meng Xin smirked and caught the fish with his bare hand. He stored the fishing rod and flew to the sky along with his food. However, his expression was distorted.

"AAAAACHOOOOO!! UWU!! WOWOWO!! MLEM MLEM, MEH!!"

Like an old Asian grandpa, he loudly sneezed and grumbled.

"Who the fuck is talking shit behind my back again?!"
