Chapter 381 – Cat Dad is Enraged
After Mimir and Taotie returned to the B10 floor, they informed Undine and others about the intruders. Everybody heard the bad news – Shepherd, Titania, and Alice were dead while Cernun's fate was unknown!
Shocked by the development, Undine activated the alarm siren and contacted the queen ants on B2 to evacuate.
VRRRRRRR
A loud siren warned every scarlet war maiden on B2 about the alarming intruders. Queens and nurse ants rushed to the nearest teleportation platforms and directly fled to the B14 floor, where the backup dungeon area had been established by the mannequins.
A thousand metal mannequins rushed to the B2 floor to help migrate the newborn ants and non-combatants. They also carried the unborn eggs and food with them to the teleportation portals.
The morale of the troops plummeted after the death of the strong comrades. Although many elite ants were never afraid of battles, they panicked as the intruders this time were too strong and terrifying. Because of the chaos, most teleportation platforms were packed. Some of the ants were forced to use stairs in the B2's boss room to descend to the Fun Level.
Party Queen rushed up to the B2 floor, hoping to buy some time for the ant girls to evacuate. As she was the only one who could infinitely self-resurrect, she came alone as a meat shield.
The level-9999 guardian didn't come empty-handed. She brought along a pouch, which she had stolen from a certain beast tamer that died on the Fun Level. In the pouch was a secret weapon that she had been raising and educating for this type of crisis.
.
20 minutes after the siren began, a group of intruders showed up at the center of the B2 floor, where Queen Ants used to reside. The group burnt and destroyed the leaf beds, meat sausages, and storage rooms along the way, not allowing the ants to return here.
Because of the mess that the ants left behind, Xie Tian, Lu Bu, Eldrich, Wei Cao, and their followers had a rough time navigating the labyrinth. Moreover, they didn't have similar information to the B1 map that they had gotten from the players. Thus, they could only rely on their aura reading skills.
"Should we split up?" Eldrich was tired of exploring the maze. He suggested that they should split.
Lu Bu disliked the idea, "Never split up no matter what. I sense another guardian coming from the front. Also, someone has been tracking us, but he's far away."
"Tracking us? Is it Hiiro?"
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes as if he knew who it was, "No. It's someone we don't want to see."
Xie Tian smirked as he caught the hint. He turned around and stood there, waiting for the pursuer, "I'll stay here, then. You lots can go ahead and get rid of that guardian."
"You're not strong enough to kill Mao Miaomiao. You will die."
"Hahahaha!" Xie Tian covered his face with one hand and looked up, laughing like a hyena. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for this opportunity?! I didn't get a chance to fight him in the tournament. Now that he's coming for us, I'll make sure to erase his existence from the universe!"
"You're underestimating him, Xie Tian. I'll warn you again. You will die if you fight him now."
"You don't know shit about me! I am the sovereign of time and space! His power is nothing to me!"
"… I guess I can't stop you. Suit yourself."
Lu Bu snorted and proceeded further into the maze. Eldrich looked back and forth between Xie Tian and Lu Bu before he followed the latter.
Meanwhile, Wei Cao silently hid among the immortal crowd. Nobody paid attention to his Oni horns and a crimson katana, which once belonged to the Oni God – Kishin Douji.

DING
<Congratulations. You have evolved into a Cathulhu!>
<All benefits of the evolution materials have been transferred to your game character. Please check your racial status and perks.>
Xiaomao transformed into a 100-meter tall Cathulhu with two white wings and 1,200 tentacles, equal to the number of his stellar stars in his pocket dantian. Each tentacle was as furry and fluffy as a cat's leg white fur covered everything. Every tentacle could extend by one kilometer, allowing him to use his tentacles as whips.
The cat head was the same as when he was a catopus, but the new white wings carried the same characteristics and perks as Xiaomao's wings when he used the human form. However, the feathers weren't regularly produced regular butterflies to feed Xiaomao with providence Qi anymore as three butterflies suddenly evolved into catopus kittens!
The chibi catopuses instantly gain a physical body and gained sentient. Every cat inherited the element foundation, dantian universe perk, and 100 strings of providence Qi from Xiaomao and was born as a level-999 catopus. They quickly spent one of the strings to create a dimensional portal.
Xiaomao was surprised that three catopuses were born. He observed the chibi catopuses and studied their behavior, including examining the destinations that they were going to.
On the other side of the portals, Xiaomao found another world. He couldn't see it clearly, but he saw countless catopuses on the other side.
While Xiaomao was confused about how and why this phenomenon occurred, his Senpai taught him.
[Cathulhu Instinct]: "Welcome to the Cathulhu World. What you are seeing is the home planet of all catopuses, where newborn children live."
"Home planet, munya?"
[Cathulhu Instinct]: "Correct. Normally, Cathulhu Parents always send their children to this planet to let them grow naturally and learn from their peers. But in your case, your soul has a strong karma bond with the Chaos Seraphim and the Cathulhu Progenitor, so your Qi and Dao can sometimes produce offspring by-"
[Foresight]: "TL; DR, all of the newborn catopuses are the souls that have been waiting to be reincarnated and have a close karma tie with you, namely Wei Feng, Wei Xiong, and Wei Huang."
[Cathulhu Instinct]: "SPOILERS! DAMMIT!"
[Foresight]: "Facts don't care about your feeling."
"…"
Xiaomao snickered and gazed into the portal. The three chibi catopuses entered it and turned around to wave their tentacles at him. They meowed and bid farewell.
"Mu-Nyang imposes stupid rules, munya! Xiaomao, your uncle has to go to school for a while. I'll be back one day, munya!"
"Once I return, let's have another rematch, munya! This time, it's going to be a friendly duel, munya."
"Brat! Be prepared for extra training, munya! I'll make sure to reach the 300% difficulty potential with my new knowledge, munya! Wait a minute, can I stop munya, munya? … DAMMIT, MUNYA!"
Xiaomao recognized their voices. They were Wei Feng, Wei Xiong, and Wei Huang.
Wei Feng had the face of a Siamese cat. Wei Xiong was a sphinx breed while Wei Huang was an orange Persian cat with extra-long fur and thick white eyebrows. Everybody looked hilarious in their catopus forms.
Xiaomao laughed at them and waved his tentacle, "Get strong fast, munya! If you're lazy, I'll increase the gap and leave you to dust, munya!"
The Wei trio brightly smiled, and the portal was closed.
"…"
Xiaomao's expression was frozen while he was smiling. Although he was happy to see them again, he was still confused.
He is a man, and he identifies himself as a HANDSOME BIG D SIGMA, and ALPHA MALE PREDATOR. How the hell did he give birth to three catopuses?
[Cathulhu Instinct]: "Chaos Element. Everything in the universe originates from Chaos. When you have the power of chaos, you have the power of creation and destruction. Explore, experiment, and research some more of this power if you have time."
"… I guess I will."
Xiaomao solidified his foundation, controlling his Qi inside him and getting used to the new physique and flow. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time to train.
While Xiaomao was adapting to his new strength and physique, he checked the pending messages that had appeared when he was busy. Then, he discovered the shocking news.
DING
<Your co-dungeon master, Meowmeow, has died.>
<Your retainer, Madoka, has been killed by Zhunti.>
<Your dungeon guest, Titania, has been killed by Hiiro Narukami.>
<Your retainer, Shepherd, has been killed by Lu Bu.>
<Your retainer, Alice, has been killed by Hiiro Narukami.>
<WARNING! Due to the power of the antagonist class, your retainers cannot be respawned automatically.>
"!!!"
His friends died?!
DING
<Your Protagonist Menu has been updated.>
<Antagonist Zhunti has been killed by Mao Miaomiao.>
<Antagonist All-Heaven Sage has been killed by Mao Miaomiao.>
<Antagonist Hongjun has been critically injured by Antagonist Baal. The feud between Hongjun and Baal has been initiated.>
<The relationship between Antagonist Pangu and Antagonist Solomon has hit the rock bottom. They can no longer be friends.>
<Protagonist Hiiro Narukami has been killed by Mao Miaomiao. He will be respawned in 72 hours.>
So many things happened during the time Xiaomao was cultivating!
Xiaomao had no time to react to the changes. Suddenly, countless lights descended from the sky and entered his body. The light brought along countless drops of providence essence. When they entered Xiaomao's dantian the liquid quickly formed an embryo of a soul crystal.
Surprised, Xiaomao sank his consciousness to his dantian universe and checked the new energy inside him. Then, he found the soul of Madoka.
Madoka inside the 10-centimeter-diameter crystal wearily looked at Xiaomao.
'Master, I'm sorry.'
She closed her eyes and stopped moving. However, her soul still pulsed as if she was still alive.
"…"
Looking at Madoka in the soul embryo crystal, he was reminded of Mu-Nyang when both of them died. The despair and sadness in their eyes were the same!
RUMBLE
Xiaomao's white fur and feathers emitted a red aura. His bloodshot eyes stared toward the sky, where a hidden teleportation platform was located.
"Protagonists… Antagonists… How dare they…"
