Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 405 – Cathulhu is the True Master

After nurturing the small embryo for a month, the unborn kitty grew up, turning into a healthy catopus kitten. Although he couldn't open his eyes yet, he wiggled his tentacles around the fisherman's finger, recognizing him as his parent.

Munya

His signature meowing voice was the same as his parents. The elder fisherman laughed at the kitty.

"Mu Damao would have been crying in happiness if he could see you now."

While talking, the fisherman condensed a drop of blood providence essence, converting it into cathulhu milk. He swiped the drop around Mu-Nyang's mouth, and the cat immediately opened his mouth to suck his fingertip.

The elder kept creating milk with this method while he secretly nurtured the cat's tiny dantian seed. After the first day of feeding, Mu-Nyang reached the peak of the mortal realm.

From the second day to the seventh day, the elder fed Mu-Nyang with the same milk. On the morning of the eighth day, Mu-Nyang opened his eyes. At the same time, he completed his pocket dantian, taking a step toward immortality.

Munya

When the cat saw the elder's face, he smiled and meowed. He also licked his fingertip and tried to chew it even though he had no teeth. The small tentacles coiled around his fingers and hand as if the kitten was a parasite.

After Mu-Nyang opened his eyes, the elder stopped staying in his cabin and brought the cat to see the outside world. He first brought the kitten to a river bank and sat there, fishing for a monster fish.

ZAAAA

It only took five minutes for the first fish to bite the bait. A catfish with dragon wings jumped out of the river and opened its mouth, trying to swallow the elder whole.

The elder stared blankly at the oncoming fish. He raised the hand, which was carrying Mu-Nyang, and poked the fish's large fang with his pinky finger.

Mu-Nyang widened his eyes as he saw the massive predator for the first time. He shut his eyes, screamed, and cried in fear.

The elder laughed.

"Silly cat. Look carefully at the fish."

MUNYAAAAAA!!

Mu-Nyang acted like a regular baby. He was scared witless.

The elder couldn't stop laughing as he looked at the fish monster, who was frozen in his time domain. However, Mu-Nyang could move and cry as if he wasn't affected by the elder's time-stop ability.

"Be proud, Mu Damao. Your son is a genius!"

MUNYAAAAA!!

While laughing, the elder waved his finger, and the monster fish's eyes turned dull. It died while it was frozen in time.

Xiaomao recovered his senses. He muttered after he went through the realistic dream while he was wide awake again.

"Mu-Nyang… That fisherman…"

After lurking in the tree for a full day, aka almost 4 years in his dantian universe, a change occurred in Xiaomao's realm. On the primary planet, where everybody lived, the mysterious seed finally sprouted.

As soon as the first leaf grew, Xiaomao and Lucky had another daytime dream while everybody got trapped in the time domain once again. They paused and stared at the empty air in a daze for a minute before the mysterious domain dispersed.

Xiaomao immediately sat down and frowned. This time, he dreamed about the days when the fisherman carefully raised Mu-Nyang. Unfortunately, the dream ended after the elder fisherman pranked the kitten with the time domain.

He already had a theory in his mind. He still remembered the hand incantation and the hand seal in the previous dream. But this time, the elder just showed him something that he had always wanted to try.

Xiaomao walked away from the white leaf after he watered it with his blood. He stood in the middle of the plain and summoned Xie Tian's clone.

The robotic clone appeared. As usual, he dully stared at Xiaomao, waiting for him to make the first move to activate its combat mode.

The clone came out as a handsome cultivator in red robes as if he had just attended a wedding as a groom. He carried a sheathed saber, and his fiery red aura was comparable to a deity.

Xiaomao didn't cheat this time. He kicked a pebble at the clone's face.

After the pebble hit the clone's face, its eyes changed. It activated the time domain right away and transformed into a fire dragonewt. An avatar of a Great Flame Dragon, Firecracker, appeared behind him.

"As expected of the 200% difficulty, munya."

Xiaomao had defeated this clone over 1,000 times already by cheating, killing it in one blow before it could use its strength. However, the clone didn't give him any reward.

This time, Xiaomao tried to fight it honestly. Also, he wanted to test his theory about his power and his connection to the fisherman in his dream.

"If my theory is correct, then…"

Xiaomao resisted the power of Xie Tian's time domain. After pointing his index finger toward the clone's face, the entire universe trembled.

The avatar behind Xie Tian's clone shattered, and Xie Tian's time domain was destroyed, replaced with Xiaomao's time domain. However, instead of only stopping the clone's movements by stopping time, something changed occurred in the clone's body.

The eyes of the clones slowly lost all light. The pupils dimmed and soon became one with the white sclera. At the same time, the clone rapidly aged and turned into an old man. A moment later, he withered and transformed into a dried corpse of a bloodless mummy.

Xiaomao watched how the clone aged and dissipated into dust. After confirming his power, he disabled it and gazed at his hand.

"As I thought, munya."

Lilith, who had been monitoring Xiaomao, saw everything from the start to the end. She took the initiative to ask him.

"Was that the application of time acceleration?"

Without looking at the daughter of Lilith, Xiaomao replied, "Yes, munya. I isolated the time in front of me and accelerated it 1,000,000 times."

"Not even your father knows about that technique. Where did you learn it from?"

"Mother Lilith's stone, munya."

"That's impossible. The mural template only teaches you the basics of time manipulation. It doesn't teach you about the time isolation application, and I never mentioned anything about it."

Xiaomao widely grinned, "Who knows? I might be an incarnation or a reincarnation of someone from the higher realm, munya."

"…"

Lilith sighed. She thought that Xiaomao was just getting cocky after he had learned a unique power. As such, she disregarded Xiaomao's confession.

Xiaomao read Lilith's expression. He came up with an excuse, "Joke aside, I just had an epiphany, so I tested it on the clone, munya. You saw the result."

"Okay. Just… keep up with the practicing."

.

The days in the dantian universe were mundane and boring as Xiaomao only focused on mastering time abilities.

Meanwhile, Andrew and Peter had fun on Xiaomao's primary planet. Inspired by Xiaomao, they also tried to create something out of their Qi, and it worked. They managed to create bricks and iron ores by using their metal Qi.

Realizing the usage of the element Qi, they got busy building a new forge and their houses. While they were at it, Levy approached them out of boredom and guided the two dwarves about cultivation and Qi usage.

As if they discovered what they lacked, the two dwarves spent a year training under Leviathan's guidance and finally entered the four-digit realm, reaching level 1,000.

John and James also worked hard. They proactively sought Lilim for advice in cultivation. Lilim, who was always quiet, agreed to give them a hand. She silently injected a drop of element essence to awaken their talent.

Following Peter and Andrew, the two men also advanced to the immortal realm, slowly catching up with Xiaomao and others.

On the other hand, Lucky had been cultivating in seclusion after the mysterious seed incident. She remained in the mansion's garden, meditating alone.

Undine and Nymph always came to visit her and checked on her progress.

"Has she always been like this?" Nymph couldn't believe her eyes.

Undine bitterly smiled, "She might be a late bloomer. Who knows?"

They gazed at her level in silence, especially the bracket behind her level.

Lucky, the Great Gnoll, Level 4,444 (???????)

A press conference was held in front of the National Diet Building. Mao Miaomiao and Hiiro Narukami stood side by side behind the prime minister of Japan. Another group of white-winged angels with cloud physiques also accompanied them.

Countless flashes from cameramen never ceased. They took pictures of a real black-winged angel alien and a group of 13 archangels.

The prime minister had been explaining the situation on the podium non-stop. He revealed the existence of aliens and silent invaders, aka the Solomon Ghosts, to the public. After 30 minutes of narrating and explaining what they had experienced throughout the year, he introduced the aliens to Earthlings.

"Without the aid of Mister Mao, the Seraphim, we would have been extinct. Please, Mr. Mao. Could you come to the podium and tell us what you have been doing so far on Earth?"

The journalists and cameramen all stared at the angel. Some gazed at the mysterious angels behind him, whose appearance and faces were shrouded in black gas. On the other hand, Hiiro Narukami gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

"People of Earth," Mao Miaomiao spoke in English. "Your world is being targeted by the almighty beings in deep space. Solomon and his dragons, the mastermind behind the development of Pangu Online 2, has been exploiting your people. They seduced innocent gamers, children, and investors around the world to join their game worlds by using the game as a tool..."

The speech continued as Mao Miaomiao and his comrades attempted to recruit the people on Earth.
