Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 312 – Cat Dad and Great-Grandfather Wei Huang

Seven days had passed since the start of the global dungeon raid event.

RUMBLE

An army of 10,000 immortals, led by three deities, arrived at Seaside Town. Everybody held the flags of Asgard. Einherjars, Valkyries, and native immortals of Asgard gathered here by the order of Odin.

Each valkyrie led a 1,000-man battalion. A total of five valkyries formed the formation of the Freya Army.

Freya blended with the valkyries, wearing the same armor set. Her long skirt hid her leggings armor, and her garment covered her breastplate. Freya’s brunette hair was braided and tucked inside her feather helmet while the helmet’s face guard protected her pretty face.

Although Freya blended well with the crowd, she stood at the forefront of the assembled army, looking up and waiting for the instruction of her husband.

Next to the valkyrie battalions, the main forces of the 5,000-man army followed after their king. All of them dressed like Vikings, but their burly physiques stood out from the Einherjars and the feminine valkyries.

A stout tall man with a lean physique levitated in the sky, watching his vessels and his generals. Different from legends, he had two eyes, but one of them was pitch black. He looked like a middle-aged man instead of an elderly man that Earthlings had depicted him. With black armor and a black cape, he looked terrifying in the eyes of his men.

Behind him, a savage-looking muscular man with a big belly levitated while sitting, chugging a barrel of ale alone. He burped and spat, killing his time. He had a messy full beard, unkempt long curly brown hair, and a scar on his face.

Another person next to the fat god looked similar to a scholar, but he stood on a flying sword. He wore Qilin skin armor, coating himself in blue scales that ceaselessly emitted blue flame. He had short black hair, a sharp handsome face, and no beard.

Odin, Thor, and Loki brought their main forces here according to the agreements with Pangu.

The king of Asgard gazed toward the north. He read the karma of Joan and Meowmeow, then he muttered.

“We’re up against a cathulhu this time. Are you ready?”

Thor snorted while Loki gracefully bowed. The latter replied first, “No, we’re not ready.”

Thor grumbled, “We’re not here to dungeon dive. We’re here for war. Stop wasting time, and let me fight!”

“We are not ready for this war, my lord. We shouldn’t be here in the first place.”

Odin smirked and turned around. He sneered at Loki, “It seems that Great Reset changes you. You were more cunning and despicable than this. If it were you in the past, you would have urged me to blindly attack the dungeon.”

“I was a liar in the past, yes. Am I still a liar? Maybe. But at least I’m capable enough to judge if this war is winnable. From my book, we have nothing to gain from this war even if we were to win by a landslide.”

“How so?”

Loki let out a sigh of relief that Odin listened to him, “We already lost Joan and her battalion in the initial raid, yet Pangu Army has barely contributed anything and barely lost their men.”

“But I heard Yeet City was attacked, and they lost quite a few apostles.”

“My lord, how many immortals died in that attack? Like… two? They barely sent any immortal to fight. Most of their main forces are gathering on the second planet where Mao Miaomiao and his main forces are. Can’t you see? Pangu is inciting us to fight Meowmeow and Mao Miaomiao’s son and provoke them. Do we really need to fight them in the first place?”

Odin and Thor snorted. The former already knew that this war was fishy, but Thor simply didn’t trust Loki.

“Let’s wait a bit longer,” suggested Odin. “We’re not in a hurry. Although the spear demoness is attacking our home right now, there’s no need to rush home for something trivial.”

Thor laughed, “Then, can I go home and kill that bitch? I doubt Heimdall is enough to take care of a chaos demon goddess.”

“Let him work and earn his keep. Heimdall has been looking down on mortals and cultivators lately. He needs a few good punches to the face to remind him not to underestimate the players, the cultivators, and the mortals.”

Odin crossed his arms and boldly sent a voice transmission to Meowmeow.

“Cathulhu, can we talk?”

A minute later, Odin heard a reply. Meowmeow transmitted his voice directly to his mind.

‘What do you want, munya?’

“I heard your forces and Pangu are not on good terms. So, I was wondering, can we negotiate a ceasefire treaty?”

‘Why the hell are you bringing that up now, munya? You’re the aggressor here. Use your head, munya! I never provoked you or even offended you. If you want a truce, GTFO and go home, munya!’

“You misunderstood us. We’re not here to attack your dungeon whatsoever. My army is just taking a stroll and taking a breather from the cold weather in Asgard. But, you see. When we march here, Pangu tricked us into attacking your dungeon.”

‘You’d better come with a better excuse, munya. Taking a stroll? Your valkyrie attacked us, munya! You and Loki are nasty liars!’

“That’s a misunderstanding. In fact, we never offended Cathulhus, right? We just minded our businesses and contested with the Olympus for territory. We never harmed you or quarrel with Mao Miaomiao, too. As for Joan, that wench has long been expelled from Asgard. She has nothing to do with us.”

‘Bullshit excuses, munya! You don’t listen to yourself, don’t you, munya? If you want a truce, bring your army home. When your army is no longer here, you can make an official appointment and visit our dungeon, munya. Know the procedure and learn some common sense, munya!’

“Hahaha! Alright. I get it. Do you mind if we loiter around Seaside Town for a few days? We need to uphold our reputation a bit.”

‘Politics again? Fine. Suit yourself. But if you enter my dungeon, you’re dead, munya!’

“I know. I know. Just bear with us a bit longer.”

Odin chuckled and looked at Thor and Loki, “We won’t attack the dungeon.”

Thor rolled his eyes while Loki was delighted. The former complained, “Why are we here in the first place?”

Odin shrugged, “I don’t know. Politics? We want this planet, but Cathulhus and Asgard are not the only powerhouses in the universe. Pangu is tricking us into wasting our resources in this war, and we already lost Joan and her battalion. We DID contribute something. Now, it’s time to question Pangu’s forces if they really want to kill Meowmeow and Taotie as they promised us… or are they trying to weaken us before they backstab us.”

He paused and widened his left dark eye. Countless ravens flew out from the eye and transformed into countless floating eyeballs with black feather wings.

“We wait one day. My ravens, go to W-2 planet. Find the main forces of Pangu, Mao Miaomiao, Devil, and other lurking powerhouses! Send some to scout the Aves Continent, too.”

The eyeballs in the sky vanished, leaving this planet for the other game world.

Meanwhile, Xiaomao stopped staying in his pocket dantian. He fought enough, and he was mentally exhausted.

Fighting Wei Huang was different from fighting Wei Xiong and Wei Feng. The two young men were straightforward with their skills and abilities. On the other hand, fighting Wei Huang felt like fighting ten of him at the same time.

The Dao Avatar of Xiaomao manifested. The blood clone of Xiaomao looked at his master’s dejected expression and transformed into a red cat. He meowed and nudged his head against his master.

“I’m so sorry, my clone. You died a lot, too.”

Munya

Hearing a cat’s purr soothed Xiaomao’s mind. He brought the cat and carried it on his lap. Then, he petted it.

While Xiaomao was recharging his mental strength, Mir returned. Then, she noticed that Xiaomao had completed a Dao Avatar before he even reached the 6th-stage.

Mir looked at the crimson cat and frowned, “Blood Dao, mew?”

Xiaomao looked up and found Mir, “Yeah, Blood Dao, munya.”

“I don’t remember you cultivating Blood Element, mew.”

“That’s because you are late. You promised me to make a pill from the blood, but you didn’t even make any progress, munya.”

“That’s because the blood came from an unknown source! I need to inspect it first, mew! Do you want it? I can make the pill now, but I don’t know what its effect will be, mew.”

“Just give me the raw blood. You don’t need to refine it, munya.”

“But I insist, mew.”

“… Alright. Suit yourself. I’m going to recuperate, munya.”

“…”

.

WHOOSH

Xiaomao returned to his pocket dantian and resummoned Wei Huang.

An elderly man in Wei Feng’s memory appeared. He wielded a long sword and maintained his human appearance. However, he instantly summoned nine Dao Avatars, which came out as nine giant Onis with full gears.

Facing such a challenge, Xiaomao steeled his mind. If he died again, it would be his 1,106th defeat.

He had never beaten Wei Huang even once!

However, every time Xiaomao was defeated, changes occurred to all his element foundations. Every time he died, a new leaf bud on the elemental trees grew. Moreover, the foundation automatically condensed a fragment of a golden core. After a thousand deaths, three thousand tree leaves and fragments formed three incomplete golden balls, floating above the element foundations.

“Will I ever beat you with my 5th-stage cultivation, great grandfather?”

Wei Huang’s clone narrowed his eyes. Its mouth moved.

‘That’s impossible at your current strength, but you can try. Come at me again, child. You still have a lot to learn from me.’

“Alright, gramps. I guess I have to die another thousand times before I can beat you!”
