Chapter 315 Cat Dad’s Faction And Rival Factions

Chapter 315 â€" Cat Dad's Faction and Rival Factions

= Cernun Island =

WHOOSH

As Odin didn't attack the dungeon, Meowmeow teleported to Cernun Island and visited the Blood Tree.

Shepherd and his wives hadn't come out from their mansion. As for Cernun, he had been watching over Wei Zhi, who was cultivating in the middle of the blood swamp and generating a blood tornado around her.

All immortal fairies kept their distance from the blood tornado around Wei Zhi. The Oni Samurai had the air of a 6th-stage cultivator, whose aura was comparable to a 7th-stage cultivator or a level-700 player.

Unlike Xiaomao, Wei Zhi focused on cultivating two elements â€" The Blood Element Foundation and Chaos Element Foundation. With just two foundations, she condensed two golden cores and was about to attack the nascent soul realm, aka the 7th-stage.

Meowmeow looked at Wei Zhi's name. He nodded in approval when he noticed her title.

Wei Zhi, the Calamity Fiend of Blood, level 699

She inherited Diaobolos' title. However, she lacked something important.

Meowmeow looked at Cernun, who had been sitting next to the Blood Tree. The latter nodded at the former, "Is the dungeon fine, senior?"

"It's fine. No god can attack it when I'm here. Well, Odin and Thor are close by, but they don't have the guts to attack me even when I'm out here, munya. What a coward, munya."

Meowmeow tossed the Dao Heart of Wrath, which he got from Diabolos' corpse, "Give this to Wei Zhi when she hits the immortal realm bottleneck, munya."

Cernun received the thumping heart and widened his eyes. He repeatedly nodded, "This will definitely help her a lot. She might even catch up to my strength!"

"That's a calamity fiend for you, munya."

Cernun agreed. He thought for a moment and asked the question that he had in mind ever since Xiaomao had told him about his fate.

"How can we bring Anglerfish to our side?"

"It's not the time. We need to kill Eldritch first and get one of our people to succeed in his title. Then, we can deal with Anglerfish, munya."

Cernun bitterly nodded. He turned his attention to Wei Zhi and thought of Xiaomao.

"Say, senior. Do you think Xiaomao will become the second Mao Miaomiao?"

Meowmeow closed his eyes and pondered. There were similarities, but both men had different principles and beliefs. Moreover, Xiaomao's karma leaned toward his mother's side and his biological parents instead of Mao Miaomiao.

Even though Xiaomao was Mao Miaomiao's son, his pocket dantian was a lot different than his father's.

Mao Miaomiao gained a random skill after he defeated a clone 100 times, and he could repeatedly challenge the same clone to get more skills. Secondly, his pocket dantian was massive, allowing him to create and combine countless elements into unique powers. In addition, his pocket dantian supported living lifeforms, and he could even tame karmic beings, such as karma centipedes.

On the other hand, Xiaomao didn't have as much freedom as Mao Miaomiao, and he couldn't fight clones at 200% potential difficulty from the start. He could only obtain rewards after defeating a clone 1,000 times. After defeating a clone one thousand times, he couldn't challenge it again even if he hadn't challenged a stronger version of that clone yet. However, in exchange for such limitations, he automatically learned all skills, acquired all equipment, and obtained the clone's previous life memory and instinct.

There were still unknown factors in Xiaomao's pocket dantian as he hadn't matured yet. But one thing was certain, Xiaomao was more talented than his father as he cultivated and formed element golden cores faster.

Thinking this far, Meowmeow predicted Xiaomao's fate.

"If I have to guess, he will surpass his father if he manages to survive this era's battle royal, munya."

"Battle Royal?"

Meowmeow reminisced about the old days when he first met Mao Miaomiao under his house. At that time, Mao Miaomiao was still a weak fugitive, and he had so many enemies in the universe. After Meowmeow got to know the chaos seraphim, he found out why he offended so many gods.

Mao Miaomiao stole Heavenly Fate Crystals from other "main characters", and the gods behind the dead victims were mad.

Meowmeow looked at the Heavenly Fate Crystal that he got from Diabolos. He snickered, "As soon as I give this to him, he will take a huge leap in cultivation, munya. He can become one of this era's main characters, but it's also a curse that can't be negated by the refined entity crystal, munya."

"Isn't that?" Cernun noticed the crystal in Meowmeow's hand.

"Heavenly Fate Crystal, that's right, munya."

"But, isn't that what Mao Miaomiao has been collecting? Won't he..."

"If he sinks low enough to harm his son for the crystal, I'll cut ties with him, munya! I don't care if I have to fight against my former comrade, but if someone messes with that innocent boy, I'll kill that bastard, munya!"

"... What if Mu-Nyang wants it?"

"I'll freaking cut ties with him, too, munya!"

"..."

.

.

Another valuable day passed, and the dungeon was still safe. Meowmeow returned to his dungeon, preventing the mishap and the sneaky Asgardian Army.

Odin finally retreated after the one-day ceremony "stroll". The 10,000-immortal army flew northeast, falling back to Midgard.

Marcus and the players were baffled, but they couldn't voice their opinion. They only watched the army leave as they were powerless to do anything to influence the event.

Then, a global announcement gave them a hint.

DING

<Asgard Army has withdrawn from Seaside Town.>

<A new global event has been updated. Please see your quest menu to learn more.>

The players opened their game menus and looked at the global quest that they had received.

Global Scenario Quest: Hegemony War â€" Part 1

Although Pangu and Odin agreed to attack Slave Dungeon and get rid of the Calamity Fiend Taotie and Evil Cathulhu Meowmeow, they didn't wholeheartedly contribute to the siege due to the political strafes, personal interests, geographic, and other circumstances.

In the first game world, the Pangu Church dominates all countries and continents, being the most influential religion in the world. Its champion, Hiiro Narukami, paves the way for the church to rule all seven seas and seven continents. Although the church is the true overlord of that world, a demon dragon legion, led by Lilith, Clem, Nero, and remnants of the old Netherworld Realm in the previous era are still lurking in the shadow, plotting against the church. The fight ends up in a stalemate as the church overly relies on its champion.

In W-2, the influence of the Pangu Church slowly collapses as the Chaos Seraphim's strongest wife, Devil, has already seized control of one-third of the rich lands in the world. She and Mao Miaomiao continue to press forward, crushing every follower of Pangu. As such, the Pangu Church and Mao Miaomiao's followers fought in a bitter war, forcing Pangu to allocate most of their fighters in this world in a crusade against the Chaos Seraphim and his allies.

This affects the situation in W-3. Because Pangu couldn't afford to create too many war fronts, he stops sending immortals to help this world. Moreover, a few immortals were killed during the Siege of Yeet City, crippling the Pangu Church's forces. As a consequence, the church couldn't send its men to help the Asgard.

This angered Odin as Pangu reneged his promises. Furthermore, a new force, the Pandemonium Guild of Solomon, has emerged in Siren City. Threatened by the new army and Pangu's insincere attitude, Odin ordered his troops to retreat.

Unchallenged, Evil Cathulhu Meowmeow secretly gathers his monster forces, preparing for another dungeon break. It's a matter of time before another major war breaks out.

Gods of Olympus, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades have been watching the situation from the sideline, waiting for their opportunity. Upon noticing the looming chaos, all of them split their forces and enters each world, jumping into the fray.

Many small and big forces are making their moves. Field monsters and dungeon monsters systematically move as one. The chess pieces have been assembled, and the War of Hegemony will soon begin. No world is safe from the flame of war.

.

The Hegemony Patch had been updated ahead of the schedule!

Reading the introduction of the global quest, Marcus and many players got goosebumps. Then, they recalled that players could obtain nobility peerage by serving a faction.

Everything made sense now. The recent patch was made for this event!

The World War in-game was about to begin!

"Dammit, Yeet. You knew and you chose the monsters?"

Marcus glanced at his remaining game currency balance. He still had two million PACTs, which he had farmed and purchased when the price was less than a dollar.

The real-world currency was not mattered anymore when immortality and superpower were at stake. Marcus regretted that he didn't collect more tokens when the price was dirt cheap.

The players continued to read the quest content. Marcus also deeply sighed and shook off the useless thoughts. He explored the quest menu.

.

- Olympus Faction (Vessels: Titan Mountain Tribe, Hades Guild)

.

The list of each faction dazzled the players and Marcus. It explained which side each organization or country is affiliated with.

Seeing the detail of the Cathulhu Faction, Marcus was surprised. MUNYA Guild of Xiaomao showed up in the list while his guild wasn't even mentioned in the quest detail.

'What did you do, Xiaomao?! How come you get the honorable mention while my guild doesn't?'

Marcus wasn't the only one with such a thought, the remaining players were also curious.

"Munya Guild? That Xiaomao's guild is big enough to be on the list?"

"Isn't he kinda strong? He won the last guild war tournament. That might be why."

"Damn! Can I join the MUNYA Guild? The Mermaid Kingdom is in the same faction? You know what? I'm sold!"

"I've never been this convinced in my entire life. It's obvious which faction I should serve!"

"Evil God, right?"

"Hell NO! I want a mermaid waifu! Where is the Mermaid Kingdom!?"

"Asgard and Olympus... Can we get the Norse God War?"

"More like â€" Which faction is Kratos in? I ain't working for Zeus or Odin. I wanna follow Kratos!"

The opinions of players varied, but most leaned toward fancy factions that antagonized order and peace. Many depraving virgins were attracted to the Mermaid Kingdom while hardcore gamers needed more information about each faction and their perks to make the decision.

Because of the announcement, the players got excited again. They forgot about the suspicious events in the real world and their promises to the Pangu Church, which gave them extra power.
