Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 347 – Cat Dad's Final Destination?

'This woman…'

Xiaomao was astonished and surprised. He recalled a certain trope in Japanese anime and mangas – In many of those stories, one of the heroines often had a weird fetish, such as masochism. In this case, Madoka was likely one of those mentally ill women.

"Come on. Do it again! I dare you!"

Madoka panted as if she was in a trance. Her heart-shaped pupils said it all.

Xiaomao mustered his strength and activated his Lone Wolf Guardian Domain. Using his tentacles, He slapped her with all his might.

PA

The sound was not as crisp as the previous one. Even Xiaomao knew that it was pathetic as it caused zero damage upon impact. On the other hand, the reflected damage that Sigma did was in the million.

Madoka's expression turned dark. She was disappointed.

"Are you kidding me? I told you to do it properly, not this feeble slap! I WANT A REAL BITCH SLAP! DO IT AGAIN!"

Xiaomao racked his brain. Although he could have asked Madoka to smack her wolves, his heart forbade him from the inhuman act. Instead, he thought of his rarely used Daos and game skills in his arsenal.

"Gimme a moment, munya."

After asking Madoka for a timeout, Xiaomao glanced at one of his game abilities, which he had been neglecting. It related to the bibles that Mimir gave him.

Record of Transcended Dao Seedlings

Every Dao in the universe is born from a Dao Seedling, manifested from a person's interests, principles, beliefs, goals, or actions. The strength and effects of the Dao heavily depend on the person's character, karma, and foundation.

This Dao originated from the moral principles, life experience, and wisdom of Mimir, who accidentally witnessed the truth of the universe before the Great Reset. He collected his experience and wisdom into two books, and he passed them to Xiaomao. However, only Heaven's chosen geniuses or the fated ones can read the content.

Transcended Dao Seedlings

Mimir's lifelong experience and collective wisdom gave birth to this Dao. However, he couldn't practice it as it went against the principalities of Pangu and other deities. Afraid of the consequences of using a greater Dao that surpassed the strength of deities, Mimir recorded his wisdom into two books.

After you've gained access to the pocket dantian, your understanding of the books improved leap and bound. Although you get the gist of it, you barely touch the essence of the Dao as everything you know is just the tip of the iceberg. Nonetheless, the law-bending Dao is quite useful for you.

At this stage, Xiaomao could borrow Slave Dungeon's mana to upgrade all of his skills. However, as Meowmeow had been occupying the dungeon core and using it as a game, Xiaomao didn't get a chance to abuse this add-on skill.

In addition, this Dao seed didn't show up in Xiaomao's pocket dantian. As it was a game skill, Xiaomao didn't rely on it as it might be Pangu or Solomon's trap.

But at that moment, the situation changed. Xiaomao had no choice but to use it.

"Excuse me for asking, but can I borrow your mana, munya? I need like… 100 million MP."

Madoka frowned, "Why are you using a game skill when cultivation and Dao Domains are superior? Do you know that mana is just polluted Qi?"

"There is this skill that I have to use to replicate that slap's strength, munya."

Again, Madoka doubted Xiaomao. After all, the previous slap clearly came from Xiaomao's nascent soul, so she didn't believe in him.

Because of doubts, her mood was killed. Instead of seeking pleasure from the slap, Madoka reverted to a loud karen again.

"Fine. I'll let you absorb my unused mana. I haven't used it for like centuries. Just take it. It wastes a lot of my dantian space... If only  you can take it, of course."

"Then, excuse me, munya. NIHIL!"

Getting permission, Xiaomao opened his mouth and ruthlessly bit her tentacle.

Though the action shocked the crowd once again, Madoka allowed it since she was curious how Xiaomao would sap her strength as a mortal couldn't possibly harm a deity.

Xiaomao's fangs barely dug into her tentacle's soft flesh. He gathered all his Qi into his fangs, strengthening them to the limit.

PU

Finally, the tip of the fangs managed to penetrate one-tenth of a millimeter into her skin. Then, Xiaomao could sense the massive flow of strange energy inside her.

'This is risky, but I have to try!'

Xiaomao started sucking her Qi.

DING

<You have absorbed Providence Essence of Goddess Madoka.>

<WARNING! Your pocket dantian is incapable of storing the Providence Essence!>

<Would you like to continue absorbing the Essence?>

Providence Essence?

Xiaomao wasn't familiar with the terms. He knew Elemental Essence, which was the higher grade of the Element Qi. However, this was the first time he heard about Providence Essence.

He roughly guessed that the energy might be the staple energy source of a deity. With the clue, he tried to convert it to mana.

'No, munya. Can you convert that into MP?'

<Negative. Only Life Qi is convertible.>

'Then, break it down to Life Qi and convert it to MP, PLEASE!'

<The system is unable to comply.>

<You are the enemy of Pangu Church. This system assist function is disabled.>

'DAMMIT!'

Xiaomao's worse fear became reality. The game system belonged to Pangu, and it refused to cooperate when Xiaomao was at a critical juncture.

Without a choice, Xiaomao begged Madoka for help.

"S-Senior, could you devolve your Providence Essence into Life Qi?"

"Pfft. No. Do it yourself."

As cruel as she was, Madoka was also uncooperative.

Since Xiaomao had no choice, he only took a drop of Providence Essence into his mouth. Then, he began destroying it so that it could be consumed.

"XIAOMAO, NO!!"

Undine sensed the rampaging energy in his mouth. She rushed to his side to help.

But it was too late.

Reckless cultivation always came with side effects or penalties. Xiaomao was not so lucky this time.

The essence exploded in his mouth. A long string of numbers appeared.

LETHAL DAMAGE!
