Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 149 – Cat Dad’s Slaves Upgraded Again!

Waiting for the sunrise was boring. Since Xiaomao had nothing else to do, he inspected Peter’s stats and compared them with Lucky’s.

The attributes were mediocre. Aside from his DEX and VIT, nothing surpassed 1,000.

However, Peter gained hundreds of free stats from his unique racial skill, and the ATK and DEF’s calculation from the raw attributes was different than Xiaomao’s character because of his close-combat class’s modifiers.

Noticing Peter’s potential, Xiaomao decided to upgrade the dwarf as he wanted a second tank in his party. He rumbled through the rare character NFTs to see if he had more Mazinger Race units to sacrifice.

Unfortunately, Xiaomao only had 45 rare NFTs left, and one of them was a Mazinger. He didn’t have enough to upgrade both Lucky and Peter.

Xiaomao didn’t give up. He checked the NFT fragments, which could be combined into a new character. He still had 25 unused rare fragments that he got from the gacha machine. Even if he didn’t have a Mazinger to sacrifice, he could always roll the gacha machine for more!

He hummed and fiddled with his menu. A minute later, he found the racial fragments of the Mazinger Race.

Surprisingly, he had over 3 rare fragments of Mazinger Race. As for the SR and UR fragments, he had none.

To create a new character NFT, he needed one race fragment, one class fragment, and two skill fragments. Xiaomao selected the three fragments and looked for useless or common things to use.

‘Cultist Class? Useless, I’ll pick this. Monk Class? Eh, I don’t need a fist-type martial artist. I’ll use this. Swordsman? Eh, I might need more combat retainers in the future. I’ll keep this for now. Thief? I need its lock-picking skills, so keep. Priest? Oh, hell no. I don’t need a basic mage class or priest class since all characters can learn those spells eventually, so I’ll pick this.’

It didn’t take long before Xiaomao created three new scapegoats. Combined with what he had, he had 4 rare Mazingers to use.

.

Xiaomao frowned. He remembered the fragments that he had used, but none of them was related to Pangu. In addition, the skills of each character changed.

‘I used Cultist, Priest, and Monk Class, but the NFT changes its names. Those weird class skills are the same.’

This never happened in Xiaomao’s previous life. Xiaomao was curious why it happened.

Curious, he tested a new combination with the excess rare fragments with similar skills but a different race, and a new character NFT came out.

.

Rarity: Rare

Race: Elf

Class: Priest

Unique Skills: Full-Heal, Resurrection

Racial Skills: Spirit Affinity, Nature Affinity

.

Xiaomao frowned again. He used Swordsmanship, Farming, Priest, and Elf fragments to create this character, but the unique skills changed into Full-Heal and Resurrection to correspond with the class type.

He looked at the remaining rare fragments. Unfortunately, Xiaomao only had class and racial fragments left, so he couldn’t create another rare character NFT.

Xiaomao turned his attention to the SR next. He had a total of 10 fragments from the gacha, and he had enough to create one SR NFT.

‘Meh, I’ll keep them as it is for now. I’ll roll more gacha next month or buy it from the market.’

Xiaomao closed the NFT menu and returned his attention to Peter and Lucky. Since he had 4 scapegoats to sacrifice, he decided to upgrade both of them.

DING

A transparent silhouette of a giant cultist appeared. Like the predecessor, the cultist glared at Xiaomao and bellowed.

‘Evil offspring, you will never win!’

Just like that, the character cursed and dissipated into dust, turning into food for Lucky.

DING

<Lucky has assimilated with the character NFT!>

<Lucky’s level limit has increased by 300!>

<Lucky has learned a new racial skill, Karmic Knowledge!>

<Lucky’s character rarity has been upgraded to Super Rare!>

<All Lucky’s status attributes and spiritual roots have increased!>

.

Combat Stats

ATK: 2,050 + 1500

DEF: 1,050 + 9000

M.ATK: 250

M.DEF: 250 + 3000

HP: 1,621,000

MP: 85,000

Life Qi: 10,000

.

Lucky’s attributes doubled, and her HP reached 1.6 million! With 10,000 DEF, she was the ideal tank that Xiaomao had hoped for.

Getting excited, Xiaomao tried to upgrade Peter next. Again, Xiaomao sacrificed the Mazinger NFT.

Another transparent silhouette of a giant priest showed up this time. He cursed at Xiaomao like the others.

“Chaos Demons can never win!”

The Mazinger vanished into Peter. The dwarf inhaled all the dust and widened his eyes.

DING

<Peter S. Fischer has assimilated with the character NFT!>

<Peter S. Fischer’s level limit has increased by 300!>

<Peter S. Fischer has learned a new racial skill, Karma Spiritual Root!>

<Peter S. Fischer’s character rarity has been upgraded to Super Rare!>

<All Peter’s status attributes and spiritual roots have increased!>

Peter puffed his chest and cackled before he slapped John’s butt, flexing his superior level and stats.

Checking the new stats, Xiaomao opened his retainer menu and examined Peter’s attributes.

Xiaomao slapped his forehead. Peter put all new attributes into his DEX, which could only be useful for crafting and lifeskills.

“What a waste, munya!”

Peter turned around and gave Xiaomao a thumbs up as if he mimicked Andrew.

Seeing how this dwarf acted, Xiaomao was sure that he and Andrew had the same personality. He gave up on raising Peter as a combatant.

“You know what? I change my mind. Let’s go to the Labor Guild, so I can sort my full inventory, munya. Climb on me, Nyanko, Mama Cat. We’re going to another place!”

Xiaomao turned to Mir next. He opened his mouth to call for her, but no word came out.

He was stumped.

Over Mir’s head, there was something that shouldn’t have existed – It was her name, affiliation, and level.

Mir, Cathulhu Progenitor, Chaos Demon Goddess, Level (?????)

Cathulhu Progenitor?

Chaos Demon Goddess?!

LEVEL FIVE FREAKING QUESTION MARKS?!

WHO ARE YOU?!

Xiaomao’s eyes were so round that he looked stupid.

Mir smirked at Xiaomao. She waved her paws and transformed into an orange catopus. Then, she began speaking in a human language.

“Wassup, weak hooman, mew? Never seen a refined goddess before? Now, kowtow to me, mew!”

Xiaomao’s world was flipped 180. The cute images of a certain orange cat, who always meowed like a kitten, shattered apart. His mind was blown.

Was everything so far a hoax?

Who is Mu-Nyang?

Who is Mir?

If they were more powerful than Cernun, how did they die?

Had they been so powerful in his previous life, how did Pangu win?!

How did a freaking dog manage to severely injure Mu-Nyang in his previous life?!

Nothing made sense anymore. Xiaomao’s mind went blank.

“Hallo, mew? Houston to Earth, mew?”

Mir poked Xiaomao with her orange tentacles, but Xiaomao didn’t respond.

Seeing that Xiaomao was out, Mir smirked and raised one of her front tentacles. It transformed into a fly swatter.

Fortunately, before the fly swatter could smack Xiaomao’s face, the latter carried Nyanko and Mama Cat and jumped away from Mir.

“Are you crazy, munya?! You could have injured your sibling and your mother, munya!”

“But you didn’t respond, mew!”

Xiaomao sweated profusely. He steeled his heart and mustered his courage to ask the most important question.

“Who are you and Mu-Nyang exactly, munya?”

Mir rolled her eyes and pointed at the words above her head, “Can’t you read, mew?”

“Yes, I can, but that doesn’t explain much, munya!”

“Meh, you’re as stupid as your father, mew!”

“…”

Xiaomao almost asked – Which one? But Mew continued talking.

“I know what you want to ask, but this is an emergency. Since Pangu is playing rough, we will start retaliating, mew! For now, I’ll take Nyanko and mom with me to another safe location, and I’ll come back to help you on your journey later, mew!”

The orange cat vanished and reappeared behind Xiaomao. Her tentacles coiled around Nyanko and Mama Cat, then they disappeared together.

Xiaomao turned around, but it was too late. Mir took the precious normal cats away from him and left without answering any questions.

“Why are you all so mysterious, munya? What are you all doing? What am I in this life? Who am I, munya? What is the purpose of my life, munya?”

Xiaomao sulked. He felt so insignificant and weak when he compared himself with Mu-Nyang, Mir, Cernun, Mao Miaomiao, and other beings.

While Xiaomao was on the verge of crying because of his loneliness and depression, Mu-Nyang’s voice sounded in his mind.

‘Go to the Pangu Church. Free Mimir and Taotie with your entity crystal, and they will help you complete your Regressor Class. When your Regressor Class is completed, you will learn the truth, munya.’
