Chapter 406 – Cathulhu Negotiates with Humans
After the press conference ended, Mao Miaomiao, the archangels, and Hiiro Narukami were invited to another meeting at a hotel for a private talk between the senators and the representatives from his side. However, only Mao Miaomiao and Hiiro agreed to travel there by car as the rest of the angels chose to fly there instead.
Both Mao Miaomiao and Hiiro sat next to each other in a limousine. The prime minister and the senators of Japan took other cars there for the sake of their safety.
While they were in the car, Hiiro broke the ice first.
"What are you planning? Why are you keeping me alive?"
Mao Miaomiao glanced at Hiiro's neck, where Devil's slave seal had been engraved. He faintly smiled, "I didn't intend to keep you alive. I ordered my wife to kill you, but it seems that she has another idea."
He referred to Devil, whom Mao Miaomiao had entrusted a task to kill Hiiro. However, she spared his life for an unknown reason.
"Kill me then! What's stopping you?!"
"Don't be too hasty. We can kill each other after we take care of Solomon and save the universe first."
"Ha! Keeping me to be your war slave? Too bad for you. I won't serve you or join your dantian universe!"
"Such cliché, much cringe, too hot-blooded, overly dramatic, extremely emotional, so honorable, wow. That's a Japanese protagonist template mindset right there. Oh, well. Even if you're willing to serve me as a sentinel or chess piece, I would never welcome you to my universe. I don't want to repeat Mu-Nyang's mistake of taking in backstabbers like Pangu and his cronies."
"Don't talk trash to him. He did everything he could for the sake of this universe!"
"Yeah, right. What if I tell you that Pangu is the one inviting Solomon's army to Earth? He's the culprit behind the ghost outbreak and deaths of countless humans."
Hiiro paused and clenched his fist. He knew about the fact, but he still believed that Pangu surrendered Earth to Solomon so that he could defeat Mu-Nyang, who was the true tyrant from his perspective.
"Even if Pangu is at fault for killing humans, it's still better than being enslaved by your master. Mu-Nyang is not someone you can trust."
"He's the true owner of the universe, though. Without him, Earth can't exist. If he dies, this entire universe will disappear along with him. Isn't it common sense not to bite the hands that feed you? You're talking about rebelling against your creator, your god."
"But…"
Hiiro couldn't come up with another excuse. He still couldn't believe that Mu-Nyang was the true owner of this universe and that he was born into someone else's dantian universe all along.
He stared at Mao Miaomiao's face, wondering how he was so calm despite the cruel reality. He asked him.
"Aren't you mad for living as someone else's energy reserve? Our lives are nothing but a drop of essence to him."
Mao Miaomiao snickered, "This is why we are different. You still have the mindset of a cliché protagonist. You don't bow down to anybody, and you're overly ambitious. You strive to overcome everybody, overthrow every organization, and destroy the progenitors' hard work because you don't like them. If we look at it from a general perspective, you're nothing but a rampaging terrorist or a rebelious psychopath. I serve him to protect this universe and become independent. You are fighting him to save your imaginary earth. We're not the same."

The angel solemnly looked at Hiiro's face, "Listen here, nerd. You're too naïve. Sometimes, you have to bow down to the system and accept reality. You can't just rebel or hate someone one-sidedly because you heard a story from that person's enemy. Have you ever researched or attempted to listen to Mu-Nyang's story? Have you?"
"…"
Hiiro lowered his head. Indeed, he never tried to understand what Mu-Nyang and Mao Miaomiao were fighting for. Like a kid being scolded by a senior, Hiiro was embarrassed.
Mao Miaomiao noticed Hiiro's expression. The former sighed and leaned back, resting.
"If you have doubts about Mu-Nyang, just follow me around for now. Don't bother getting back into the game world or Solomon's dragons will destroy your soul on the spot. As you are right now, you're no match for those pesky lizards."
"…"
Both men stopped talking. Mao Miaomiao looked out the window while he chugged a bottle of expensive wine. Seeing how Mao Miaomiao leisurely drank free stuff in the limousine, Hiiro copied the angel, but he chose a can of cola instead.
The angel glanced at the soda can and slightly shook his head, "Haiya. You're still a kid."
.
While both men chatted, their conversation was recorded. The agent in the front seat had been listening to them and taking notes.
'Mu-Nyang? Dantian Universe? What?'
As the agent was not a cultivator, he was confused. Still, he kept listening, hoping to solve the mystery of the superhuman gamers and the aliens.
.
The limousine was parked in front of a high-classed hotel. The entire settlement was booked, and nobody but government agents and selected hotel staff remained there. Not even a journalist was allowed to get close to this place.
Mao Miaomiao and Hiiro entered the hotel, and the agents invited them to the restaurant hall, where the surviving politicians, senators, and prime minister would attend.
When Mao Miaomiao arrived, Devil, her followers, and the archangels were already there. Mao Miaomiao waved at his wives, who sat at a round table. The girls waved back, and one of them stood up.
Xu Chu, one of Mao Miaomiao's favorite wives in his previous life, walked like a model and turned 360, showing off her glittering dress. It barely covered her chest, and it showed 90% of her back, almost revealing her butt cheeks.
"Look, Miaomiao. I made this dress from an Earthling's cosplay design. Do you like it?"
Several middle-aged senators and male agents gulped as they admired the beauty of this succubus ancestor. The St. Louis cosplay dress, Xu Chu's bountiful chest, and her natural beauty's destructive power were over 9000, causing many men to salivate. Even Hiiro dropped his jaw when he spotted the otherworldly beauty and her sexy figure.
Mao Miaomiao coughed. He also had a hard-on, but he minded his manner. He sent a voice transmission to her.
'Can you join my dantian universe after the party? Also, wear that dress.'
Xu Chu giggled and secretly whispered, 'You kinky. How about I enter your dantian right away.'
The husband and wife grinned. A moment later, Xu Chu transformed into a streak of light, shooting into Mao Miaomiao's dantian universe.
The other women around Devil spat their drink. They all stood up and protested, "Hey, Miaomiao! How could you?! We haven't had sex for ages, and you are playing favorites in front of us?!"
"Whoa, ladies…"
Mao Miaomiao raised his hands to calm the girls down. Unfortunately, it was too late. All his wives, including Devil, dove into his dantian to get his love as well.
Just like that, the charming women disappeared in front of everybody.
Hiiro came back to his senses. He glared at Mao Miaomiao in envy, "What did you do to them?"
Mao Miaomiao's movements became rigid and stiff. His face flushed, and he sweated profusely. He dryly laughed and sat at a table.
"Inside me."
"Huh?"
"Excuse me for a moment. I need to… Oh, that's the spot!"
"…"
.
Meanwhile, the 13 archangels secretly watched Mao Miaomiao. One of them rested his elbow on the table and sighed.
"That idiot is as obnoxious as ever. Can't he be a bit more modest?"
The archangel next to him stretched his eight tentacle wings. Then, he leaned against the chair, "Give him a break, Uriel. He's the key to this war. Our forces depend on him."
"Haiz. I hope he won't enslave women on Earth and soil them."
"You don't have to worry about that. We should be worrying about him turning all men into women to join his harem instead."
"Right…"
All angels facepalmed. They feared for the worse as they knew Mao Miaomiao too well. After all, they were all Devil's clones of the same generation, and they were technically Mao Miaomiao's elder brothers.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile Mao Miaomiao took his time to negotiate an alliance with humans, the game world number 28 slowly turned into a major battlefield between Mu-Nyang's supporters and Solomon's dragons.
Mao Xueyan, Mao Dandan, and Jungwoo's locations were blown on the second day. One of the level-9500 dragons spotted them and roared, calling other dragons for backup.
The two tigresses had no choice. Mao Dandan transformed into a 10-meter-tall white tiger while Mao Xueyan turned into a humanoid tigress woman. A billion small insects gushed out from Mao Xueyan's shadow as they came out from her dantian universe.
The dragons sneered and opened their mouths, firing dragon breaths at the oncoming insects. Most of them were burnt and disintegrated right away.
However, a dozen dragons couldn't kill all insects with a few breath attacks. A few of them latched on to the dragons. Instantly, they dug the scales and skin, and forcefully entered their bodies!
The dragons snorted as they were confident in their inner Qi and mana. They circulated their Qi to crush the parasites right away.
Unfortunately, as soon as their Qi touched the insects, they exploded!
BOOM
BOOM
A dozen dragons cried as the insects exploded from the inside, causing them to fall from the sky.
Jungwoo kicked the ground and vanished. He also transformed into a humanoid weretiger, and he charged at the injured dragons. As for Mao Dandan, she roared, and two feather wings grew on her back. She flew toward the healthy dragons in the sky and initiated a dogfight.
That was not the only battlefield in this world. A thousand kilometers away from Mao Dandan's group, another battle took place.
A blond-haired cultivator in blue robes stood bravely even though he was surrounded by a five-headed hydra, a three-headed snake, and five level-9999 dragons.
The dragons bellowed, "Chase Sheffield, surrender and we'll give you a painless death!"
The cultivator snorted. He muttered to himself.
"Mao Clan Sword Style… SWORD DOMAIN!"
SWUA
SWUA
SWUA
The blond cultivator unsheathed his sword and sheathed it instantly. A hundred after images of sword slashes flashed.
"Omae wa Mou Shindeiru."
Chase mimicked the expression of the meme. Unfortunately, no one followed up with "Nani" as they didn't understand what had happened. The dragons, hydra, and snake fell one after another as their dantian crystal was sliced to pieces from the inside.
The cultivator gazed at the corpses and smiled. He rubbed his hands.
"I wonder if Mao Miaomiao sensei will be proud of me."
