Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 348 – Cat Dad Unseals Forbidden Grand Curse

DING

<You are immune to lethal damage when your HP is full.>

<You survive with 1 HP!>

Xiaomao remembered the torturous pain in his mouth. He could tell that the explosion shattered his tongue and his entire head. However, instantly, his body was reconstructed, and he self-resurrected.

The bracers on his tentacle also glowed in red light. Although Xiaomao had never relied on it before, he had to use it now.

.

Battle Bracers of Sun Wukong

This set of bracers experimental item, made for Sun Wukong when he served OG-Buddha. Each bracer provided weapons, shields, and necessary forces to protect the user against attacks from immortals. Unfortunately, Sun Wukong didn't like relying on the power of equipment and materials, he exchanged these items for a drop of Ifrit's blood essence.

These bracers can automatically adjust their size to fit any user. However, it depends on the user's abilities to make use of its full potential as they're the tools to amplify one's Qi, mana, and life force.

Item Type: Armor

Rarity: Legendary

Requirement: Level 2,000 or higher.

Effects: By wearing all eight pieces of the bracers, the equipment provides the following abilities;

- Generate a layer of a barrier with the same HP as the user. Each bracer can generate one layer per charge and can stack up to 8 layers. Current charges: 100/100. (Rechargeable)

- Generate a long knife that can cut through all defensive equipment under level 2000. Inflict combined damage of ATK, M.ATK, and Qi attack upon hit. Damage depends on the user's stats.

- Extend and shrink the user's arms at the user's will.

- Steal the lifespan and life force of your enemy. Require the Dao of Gluttony.

.

DING

<Converting Providence Essence into lifespan…>

<Your Dao of Gluttony is inactive. The effect is decreased by 99.9999 %.>

<Your lifespan has increased by 92,233 years.>

<Your dantian has been expanded.>

<You have formed 92 new Life Essence Sea.>

<All your spiritual roots and elemental foundation have been strengthened.>

<All your attributes have increased by 92,233.>

Not only the bracers helped Xiaomao absorb Madoka's life force, but they also gave him stats as Xiaomao used it along with Taotie's techniques.

That was not all. As Madoka's Providence Essence contained traces of her Dao and elemental energy, his dantian picked up several strands of foreign element Qi.

DING

<You have digested a strand of Fire Element Qi!>

<Your Fire Spiritual Roots have become Fire Element Foundation!>

<You have digested a strand of Water Element Qi!>

<You have digested a strand of Wind Element Qi!>

<Your Wind Spiritual Roots have become Wind Element Foundation!>

<You have digested a strand of Metal Element Qi!>

<Your Metal Spiritual Roots have become Metal Element Foundation!>

<You have digested a strand of Wood Element Qi!>

<Your Wood Spiritual Roots have become Wood Element Foundation!>

<You have digested a strand of Lightning Element Qi!>

<Your Lightning Spiritual Roots have become Lighting Element Foundation!>

<You have digested a strand of Light Element Qi!>

<You have digested a strand of Dark Element Qi!>

All eight basic elements boosted Xiaomao's spiritual roots and element foundations once again. Moreover, some of them surpassed the 200,000 point mark, which awakened new Daos and new elements.

<A new spiritual root has been derived from Fire Element Foundation – Nihility Flame Spiritual Roots!>

<A new spiritual root has been derived from Wind Element Foundation – Compression Spiritual Roots!>

<A new spiritual root has been derived from Metal Element Foundation – Sword Spiritual Roots!>

<A new spiritual root has been derived from Wood Element Foundation – Nature Spiritual Roots!>

<A new spiritual root has been derived from Lightning Element Foundation – Magnetic Spiritual Roots!>

Seeing the results, Xiaomao was confused. He had expected the new spiritual roots to be something basic, such as flame element, crystal element, steel element, or something similar. However, aside from wood, which was related to nature, everything else came out as weird elements.

RUMBLE

Five new foundations and five spiritual roots started rampaging in his dantian. Without checking the new Dao Avatars, Xiaomao immediately spent 10,000 years of lifespan upgrading a game skill.

He upgraded the Blessing Statue: Slave Domestication!

DING

<The spell, Blessing Statue: Slave Domestication, has been upgraded into a GRAND CURSE!>

<CONGRATULATIONS! You have learned the Grand Curse: Total Domination!>

.

Grand Curse: Total Domination

This grand curse was once a menace of the universe. Because of the spell effects, the universe was thrown into chaos, and many races rebelled against the curse user, the Chaos Demon God Mu-Nyang, aka the progenitor of Chaos Seraphim. After the death of Mu-Nyang, the curse and its record was lost. Even after Mu-Nyang was reincarnated, he doesn't use it again as the grand curse can only bring chaos and complications to the universe.

Be warned! Using this grand curse might ire many gods.

Spell Type: Grand Spell, Single Target

Rarity: Mythic

Spell Cost: Depending on the target's strength and level differences.

Cooldown: None

Effects (1): Upon casting the grand curse, your targets will suffer from the following effects;

- Rewrite the memory of the target. The effect cannot be negated or defended regardless of level difference as long as the caster can pay the price.

- Convert the target into a retainer. The loyalty is fixed at 100% and the favorability is set at 7 stars.

- If the skill is used on a player, steal that player's game character and convert it into an NPC retainer. The previous owner can no longer access the character.

Effects (2): If you set up a curse array anywhere, you will gain the following benefits;

- Your retainer doesn't consume a retainer slot.

- Enslavement and related skills have no cooldown, and they can be used on players. Increase the skills' success chance to 100%.

- The curse array cannot be destroyed unless the caster removes it.

- All retainers can resurrect at the curse array once a day. Even if retainers die for a year, they can always be resurrected when the condition is met.

[Cathulhu Instinct]: I can't believe you completed this blasphemous spell. Well, you can use it since many gods already want you dead. Adding one or two enemies to your hit list doesn't hurt.

[Foresight]: The apple doesn't fall for from the tree. Like pet, like master. You are fated to inherit his legacy.

.

Because of the accomplishment, Xiaomao forgot to read the lore of the grand curse.

Xiaomao remembered this grand curse very well. In his previous life, its detailed screenshot was once posted on social media after Cernun had been defeated. It turned out that one of the players was a high-ranking noble among Pangu followers, and he spent millions of PACT to upgrade the blessing totem spell to the final form.

That player exploited this spell by enslaving strong players and NPCs, turning them into his retainers. Several players, who later migrated their souls into the game, got trapped by this grand curse and were forced to serve that very player.

Fortunately, the infamous player died in real life. The news said that he jumped off the balcony of a hotel and fell to his death. But in reality, every player knew that he had offended the Pangu Church, and the cultivators killed him.

Xiaomao let out a long sigh as he permanently obtained the notorious spell. He appreciated Madoka for giving him a chance to upgrade this spell to the final form.

Without hesitation, he used it on his benefactor like how feral cats bit the feeders!

DING

<Due to the level difference, the grand curse activation will penalize you as follows.>

<Permanently decrease all your stats by 20,000.>

<Permanently decrease all your spiritual roots and element foundations by 20,000.>

<Decrease your lifespan by half.>

<Decrease your Max HP, MP, and Life Essence by half.>

Xiaomao bitterly smiled as he understood why it penalized him so much to cast the curse. He followed through with it anyway as the effect was worth it.

'Do it!'

RUMBLE

Suddenly, Xiaomao's eyes became pitch black. Madoka instinctively looked into Xiaomao's eyes and fell into a trance.

<Overwriting Goddess Madoka's memory…>

<Please input what you desire her to be.>

Xiaomao ambitiously smirked. Then, he said something unthinkable, which shocked the spectators once more.

"Madoka, you are a gentle and lovely loyal subordinate of mine who doesn't hesitate to crush my enemies or anybody that tries to harm me, munya. I sent you here to monitor Border Town, and I just entrusted you with the task to withdraw the cash and hidden assets from Joan's account. Also, your favorability impression toward me is 100 stars, and you want nothing more but my happiness, munya!"

Madoka flinched. Blood came out from her nostril, yet she blushed in embarrassment like an adolescent maiden. She gently released Xiaomao and pulled him into a hug.

DING

<Goddess Madoka wholeheartedly loves you, and she will do anything to please you. Current Favorability: MAX.>

"Master... My lovely master."
