Chapter 382 Cat Dad Discovers Antagonists

Chapter 382 – Cat Dad Discovers Antagonists

Xiaomao opened the Fate System menu, rechecking the roster of protagonists and antagonists. Because of the bloodbath, some names disappeared while new names emerged.

Shepherd's name was no longer on the list, and the number of protagonists was reduced from 14 to 10. However, the Antagonist roster expanded.

Antagonist List

1. Pan Xian (Pangu)

2. Pan Mei

3. Solomon

4. Hongjun

5. Nian

6. Hiiro Narukami

7. Lu Bu

8. Xie Tian

9. Eldritch

10. Wei Cao

11…

.

Xiaomao stopped scanning through the list as soon as he found Wei Cao's name.

This man was the traitor of the Wei Clan. He was responsible for the death of Wei Huang and the destruction of the Wei Clan. Ultimately, Wei Cao and his followers died during the Battle at the Dark Forbidden Zone, where Mao Miaomiao fought the gods of Olympus, the Lilim Army, and other forces.

Mao Miaomiao already exacted revenge on the Wei Clan, and Xiaomao didn't have any grudge against this old man. In normal circumstances, he would have skipped and ignored the person. However, the name was strangely glowing in red.

Curious, Xiaomao pressed on the name to check his background.

DING

A message showed up.

<This antagonist has designated you as his rival. Whenever this antagonist manages to harm or kill one of your allies, friends, or families, he will get stronger. The rivalry status persists until one of you dies or reconciles with the other party.>

"…"

Xiaomao had no idea what to feel about this information. From the previous messages, Wei Cao was not on the list that killed or harmed Shepherd's group. Still, since the other party provoked him, Xiaomao had no reason to spare the traitorous grandpa.

Also, Wei Cao was not the only one with a highlighted name. Aside from him, Lu Bu's name flashed brighter than the others. Xiaomao checked on the infamous warlord next, hoping to get more information from the game system.

He was not disappointed. A portrait and a thorough detail of Lu Bu appeared in the game window.

Gender: Male

Level: 4,500 (75,000)

Age: 8,300,000

Class: Protagonist (Secondary), Antagonist (Primary), Warlord, General

Title: God of War, Demon Lord of Death Valley

Sponsor: Pangu

Backgrounds:

Known as Lu Fengxian in his former lives. Originally, Lu Bu was a demon lord, who died unjustly during the Devil-Kishin War. His soul later possessed a dead body of a weak young master from a fallen noble family. After successfully avoiding the Samsara River, Lu Bu quickly retained his former power. He later encountered Mao Miaomiao when the chaos seraphim was a mortal and got entangled in the Battle of Siren City. Unfortunately, Lu Bu was killed by a 9th-stage cultivator as his luck and fate were inferior to Mao Miaomiao's.

Originally, Lu Bu was fated to be reincarnated as Mao Miaomiao's son and thrive as the main character of the next generation. However, because of Mao Miaomiao's Chaos Seraphim evolutions and Mu-Nyang's interference, the karma ties between Mao Miaomiao and Lu Bu were severed. Pangu, using this opportunity, snatched Lu Bu's soul and reincarnated him, altering his protagonist fate. Later, Pangu bestowed the Blessing of Antagonist to Lu Bu and tasked him to hunt down Mao Miaomiao's allies and Mu-Nyang's subordinates. Repaying for the debts, Lu Bu invades Slave Dungeon, discarding the former relationship between him and Mao Miaomiao's family. His goal is to kill Miao Xiaomao.

Specialties: Flying General Mandate, Absolute Destruction Mandate, Physical Attack Immunity.

Important Note: Lu Bu has designated you as his fated enemy. You are fated to fight him in a death match within 24 hours. If you manage to defeat him, you can devour his Heavenly Fate Crystal to upgrade your protagonist class. Vice versa, Lu Bu can consume your Heavenly Fate Crystal to grow stronger.

"Oh, wow. That explains a lot, munya. So this guy should be one of the 14 protagonists that got deleted."

Xiaomao guessed that Lu Bu was once one of the 14 protagonists. However, he was degraded to an antagonist because of his recent deeds.

But what caught Xiaomao's attention was the note at the bottom. It revealed that Lu Bu was the one who Xiaomao would be forced to fight soon. As Lu Bu's true strength was comparable to a level-75,000 deity, Xiaomao was nervous.

How could an immortal defeat a deity in disguise? If Titania, Shepherd, and others lost to this guy, would it be possible for him to defeat Lu Bu?

While Xiaomao was in doubt, his Senpai encouraged him.

[Cathulhu Instinct]: "Don't underestimate your power. You don't know how strong you actually are."

"I know, munya."

Xiaomao paced his breath and ordered the butterflies to return home. He rechecked his level one last time.

Xiaomao, the Chaos Cathulhu, Level 2,000 (9,999)

Because of the current transformation, Xiaomao's title changed from Chaos Seraphim to Chaos Cathulhu. His level was also increased to 2,000 according to his actual strength when he was a mortal. However, the new bracket revealed that his true strength might be over level 9000.

Xiaomao narrowed his eyes. He asked his Senpai.

"What's the difference between an immortal and a deity, munya?"

[Cathulhu Instinct]: "A lot. To become a deity, you need some worshipers or residents in your dantian universe. Then, you will be able to cultivate faith, which will be converted into Providence Qi. When you have enough providence Qi, you can condense them into providence essence, just like when you cultivate element Qi into element essence or life Qi into life essence. Then, with providence essence, your dao and stellar stars in your dantian can gain sentient and become your apostles, which allows you to create laws, aka MANDATE DOMAINS! Then, mandate domains are-"

[Foresight]: "TL; DR. Deities rely on providence essence and mandate domains, aka the upgraded version of elemental essence and stellar constellation domain."

[Cathulhu Instinct]: "Can you stop stealing my spotlight?"

[Foresight]: "Fame doesn't matter if the explanation is more concise."

Hearing that deities cultivated providence Qi and essence as their primary energy source, Xiaomao was confused. He checked his dantian and discovered that the liquid in the stars had already solidified and transformed into countless strings of providence Qi.

"I already have providence Qi inside me, though, munya. Am I a deity now?"

[Cathulhu Instinct]: "Yes and no. You're physically an immortal, but your dantian's quality is on par with lesser deities. Your domain is probably as strong as mandate domains, but you lack-"

[Foresight]: "No, you are an immortal with the power of quasi-deities. Real Mandate Domains can still kill you."

[Cathulhu Instinct]: "Can you stop stealing my role?"

[Foresight]: "Concision doesn't translate to stealing."

Xiaomao laughed as he enjoyed watching how his two Senpais bickered. His anger subsided, and his mind was clear. When his mind was calm, his brain functioned normally.

"I have less than a day left until the fight. Is it possible for me to get stronger, munya?"

The Senpais didn't answer as Xiaomao said it to plan out his future actions out loud. In Xiaomao's mind, he calculated how long he had before the intruders could get to B10.

While Xiaomao was deep in thought, Undine contacted him through voice transmission.

'Xiaomao, we lost Cernun, Alice, Madoka, Titania, Shepherd, and Meowmeow. The enemies are too strong. We have to retreat and wait for Lady Chang'e to descend!'

Xiaomao's eyes shifted as he opened the dungeon menu. The 3D map highlighted the B2 floor. The group of intruders appeared in large red dots while Party Queen and ants were highlighted as green dots.

Behind the group of intruders, a light green dot traveled so fast that it would reach the group within less than a minute. However, the group of red dots left one of them behind to confront the pursuer.

Xiaomao examined the detail of the light green dot. Then, the portrait and the brief detail of the person appeared.

Mao Miaomiao, the Chaos Seraphim, Level 9,999 (??????)

"WHAT THE?!"

His father was here.

Noticing the name of his perverted father in his previous life, Xiaomao grinned and told Undine.

"Gather all our strongest fighters at B7. I'll be there, too, munya!"

'WHAT?! DID YOU LISTEN TO ME?! OUR ENEMIES ARE-'

"Don't worry. We have plot armor, munya!"

Xiaomao transformed into Chaos Seraphim and rushed toward the B7 floor. For now, he would stay there and cultivate until the last minute.
