Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 425 – Cathulhu\'s Father has Strong Plot Armor

While Mao Miaomiao was taking a break in the dungeon, his right eyebrow suddenly twitched. He also heard a voice from Uriel.

\'Something is wrong, Miaomiao. Your karma suddenly goes black. This isn\'t a good sign.\'

"What do you mean?" Mao Miaomiao stood up and looked around. He calculated his karma and future, checking what had gone wrong.

Instantly, he discovered the twist of fate and karma. Someone just became a new protagonist of this generation, and his luck was superior to most protagonists, including him.

\'I can\'t see your future, Miaomiao! Get out of there! You will die if you stay there any longer!\'

"Don\'t jump to the conclusion so fast, bro."

Miaomiao deeply exhaled and tracked the karma of every protagonist. He found three variables in the flow of fate and karma.

.

.

The first variable was Solomon, who just got a hold of Caesar\'s heavenly fate crystal. The other one was Chase, who was in the middle of traveling south toward the South Pole. As for the other guy, he was none other than Xiaomao.

Mao Miaomiao frowned. He simulated a thousand scenarios in his mind and matched them with the karma flow, investigating who and how he would die.

Meanwhile, Uriel warned him again.

\'Get out of there! I can\'t see your future timeline in that dungeon! Even if you have to disobey Mu-Nyang\'s order, you have to retreat!\'

It didn\'t take long for Mao Miaomiao to figure it out. Suddenly, two protagonists showed up in front of him. One of them was his old colleague, Zhou Yu. As for the other guy, he was the one that Mao Miaomiao had been searching for.

When Mao Miaomiao\'s eyes met with Huntsman\'s, he foresaw his death. His demise didn\'t come from Huntsman directly but from Solomon, who would personally come after them.

"Well, shit. My luck is suppressed, and my plot armor goes to shit. What have you done, Xiaomao?!"

Without warning or introducing himself, Mao Miaomiao unsheathed Killer Queen and sliced off Zhou Yu\'s head in one blow. His katana, Killer Queen, cackled and sucked Zhou Yu\'s life force in glee.

However, Zhou Yu\'s body transformed into flame. He re-emerged as a flame phoenix and screeched.

"Mao Miaomiao, you tyrant! No matter how strong you are, you can\'t cheat the system!"

Zhou Yu bellowed. At the same moment, Mao Miaomiao heard a voice in his mind. It was the system\'s voice.

<Zhou Yu has designated Ran Tae as his sworn enemy. Both Ran Tae and Zhou Yu cannot be killed by external influence!>

"… Again?"

Mao Miaomiao had a déjà vu. He felt like he had seen this perk somewhere before.

James Huntsman also cackled. Like a psychopath, he pulled out a knife and stabbed his head. Then, Mao Miaomiao, Zhou Yu, and Huntsman heard the system message.

<James Huntsman has designated Xiaomao as his sworn enemy. Both Xiaomao and James Huntsman cannot be killed by external influence!>

Huntsman pulled the knife out, and his wound was instantly healed. He laughed and mocked the angel.

"I know why you\'ve come here, Mao Miaomiao! Zhou Yu told me everything. You\'re here to protect your baby boy, huh? Too bad, he and I have a date! You can\'t mess with us, daddy!"

"… Scum."

Mao Miaomiao swung the katana five times in a row. Huntsman and Zhou Yu failed to react and were sliced five times. However, their wounds quickly mended and canceled the damage.

The angel tried again. He stopped time and bellowed.

"Killer Queen! Devour their karma, Qi, and luck! Deplete their life force!"

"On it, boss!"

Killer Queen transformed into a pre-teen Oni in a Yukata. She opened her mouth and sucked the Qi in the air around her. Like a whirlpool, she swallowed everything – Karma strings, lucky energy, Qi, and life forces of the two protagonists.

Mao Miaomiao stood there, watching the two protagonists age. Zhou Yu\'s fire was extinguished, leaving him with a thin chicken-like appearance. As for Huntsman, he turned into a withered grandpa.

The two protagonists couldn\'t even move or resist Mao Miaomiao\'s power. They stared at him, waiting for the angel\'s next move.

Mao Miaomiao scoffed and walked toward them. He punched through Huntsman\'s chest and pulled out the latter\'s soul.

"I wonder how the system can save you from me. You know, no trickery can overcome absolute power!"

James Huntsman\'s expression turned dark. He wanted to scream, but he couldn\'t do anything. The same was for Zhou Yu as he could no longer use his abilities or domain.

Mao Miaomiao yanked the soul out of James Huntsman\'s body. His pupils dimmed for a moment before the same system voice came back.

<James Huntsman has designated Xiaomao as his sworn enemy. Both Xiaomao and James Huntsman cannot be killed by external influence!>

Mao Miaomiao frowned and looked at his right hand, which was holding James Huntsman\'s soul. The soul orb vanished and reappeared inside the blond guy.

Annoyed by the power of the system, Mao Miaomiao glanced at Killer Queen, "Did you eat everything?"

The girl pouted, "I DID EAT EVERYTHING. My belly is about to burst, dummy!"

"Odd. Let\'s destroy whatever domain around us except my time domain."

"Sure!"

Killer Queen reverted to her katana form. She swung her blade around, causing cracks in the dimension. Sliced gaps between dimensions opened several portals and vacuum holes, but they had no effect in the dungeon.

The black katana paused for a moment and complained, "I don\'t sense feedback. There is no domain around here except yours, Miaomiao."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive!"

Mao Miaomiao gave James Huntsman and Zhou Yu a meaningful look. Unable to give up, he used another method. He pulled out James Huntsman\'s soul and immediately offered it to Mu-Nyang!

"Mu-Nyang, this is your tribute! Take it now!"

The soul orb vanished instantly. The next moment, Mao Miaomiao vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.

CLANK

His time domain was shattered!

"Miaomiao!"

Killer Queen panicked. She turned toward Zhou Yu and plunged her blade into his heart. Then, she used her killing move.

Karma Detonation!

BOOM!

Zhou Yu\'s chicken-like physique exploded. His soul orb, dantian crystal, and heavenly fate crystal were ejected from his body.

Killer Queen learned from Mao Miaomiao. She stabbed the soul orb of Zhou Yu and copied her master.

"Lord Mu-Nyang, this is for you! Take it now!"

WHOOSH

The soul orb vanished as planned. The sentient sword turned around to look at James Huntsman\'s body and the scattering flesh of Zhou Yu.

CLANK

But the next moment, Killer Queen\'s black katana body cracked. Something broke her from the inside.

"I-Impossible! M-My blade is made from negative karma! Only karma can…"

The sentient katana dropped to the ground, and her blade shattered to pieces. Her consciousness faded to darkness.

"Killer Queen!" Shouted Mao Miaomiao. He didn\'t understand how everything happened so fast.

WHOOSH

A large portal was opened 100 meters away from Mao Miaomiao, and Solomon slowly walked out. The elderly sage sneered at the chaos seraphim.

"How does it feel to face the TRUE PROTAGONIST for once, protagonist hunter?!"

"You…"

Solomon waved his hands and collected the heavenly fate crystals of Zhou Yu and James Huntsman. He smiled at them before he pressed them against his chest. Then, the two crystals sank into his body.

RUMBLE

Solomon\'s aura soared. His cultivation base spiked, and a halo appeared over his head. He was now a quasi-entity, a step away from breaking the limit of Mu-Nyang\'s dantian universe.

"HAHAHAHA! You see this, son? You should have joined me when you had a chance!"

"Bastard!"

"You\'re right for one thing, Mao Miaomiao. No trickery can overcome the absolute strenght. But the person with absolute strength is ME!"

Solomon raised his staff and pointed at Mao Miaomiao\'s face.

.

.

Mao Miaomiao snapped open his eyes after he saw the vision. He sweated profusely and panted as if he had run a full marathon twice.

\'What\'s wrong, Miaomiao?\' Asked Killer Queen.

The angel touched the hilt of his katana. Killer Queen was still there.

Mao Miaomiao unsheathed the katana and touched the blade. Killer Queen giggled, \'Hey! That\'s tickle! Stop it.\'

It took Mao Miaomiao a few seconds to figure out that he had just experienced a lucid dream vision. It sometimes happened when he looked into the future by abusing the time domain.

Suddenly, he heard Uriel\'s voice transmission. The archangel warned him.

\'Get out of there! I can\'t see your future timeline in that dungeon! Even if you have to disobey Mu-Nyang\'s order, you have to retreat!\'

Mao Miaomiao narrowed his eyes. He sheathed Killer Queen and stood up. Then, he kicked the ground and flew through the ceilings of the dungeon.

"Copy that, bro. I\'m outta here!"

.

.

A minute later, James Huntsman and Zhou Yu arrived at the place where Mao Miaomiao had rested earlier. They gazed at the ceiling above them.

Huntsman clicked his tongue, "I thought Mao Miaomiao was here. I guess he ran away after he sensed us."

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes. He glanced at the place that Mao Miaomiao sat on and noticed that it was wet. He knelt and swiped the rock, then he put his finger in his mouth.

"It\'s sweat."

Huntsman glanced at Zhou Yu in disgust, "Yuck! What\'s the point of that?!"

"It\'s Mao Miaomiao\'s sweat. That means he must have been afraid of something."

"That\'s us, right?"

"Doubt it. That man might be stupid, but he is an expert when it comes to dealing with stronger foes. He is the master of exploiting loopholes and trickeries."

"Doubt it."

James Huntsman scoffed and turned his attention to the holes in the ceiling. He warmed up his legs, preparing to chase after the angel.

WHOOSH

Suddenly, a portal was opened nearby, and Solomon came out. The old man had a deep frown on his face as he looked at James Huntsman.

"Where is Mao Miaomiao?" Asked Solomon.

Zhou Yu pointed up. Solomon looked up and noticed the trace of Mao Miaomiao. Then, he grumbled.

"Lucky pest. He would have died had he stayed a bit longer."

James Huntsman smiled at Solomon. He wondered if Solomon came here to help them, "My lord, are you here to kill Mao Miaomiao, too?"

"…"

Solomon smiled back at James Huntsman and Zhou Yu. He then slowly walked toward them.

Zhou Yu sensed something amiss. He transformed into a phoenix.

DING

<Your Dark Hero System has been terminated. Your level and status have been reset!>

"WHAT?!"

Zhou Yu widened his eyes in shock. The next moment, his dantian crystal shattered. His soul and fate crystal was ejected from his body, and his phoenix appearance turned to ash.

Just like that, the legendary strategist met his demise.

James Huntsman immediately pulled out his sword and hacked at the old man.

CLANK

The broadsword met with a barrier dome around the elder. He turned around and smiled at Huntsman.

"Thank you very much for accepting the class I gave you. You\'ve been a big help."

"BASTARD!"

Solomon raised his hand, and James Huntsman received the last system message in his life.

<Your Dark Hero System has been terminated. Your level and status have been reset!>

BOOM

His body exploded, ejecting his dantian crystal, soul orb, and heavenly fate crystal.

Solomon collected them all. He ate them and burst into laughter as his strength reached the quasi-entity stage.

"HAHAHAHAHA! I\'m about to surpass you in your prime, Mu-Nyang! Your body will soon be mine!"
