Chapter 285 – Cat Dad and Intruder!
"Solomon! What do you want, mew?!"
Mir hissed and sent Jungwoo and Xiaomao into her shadow. An orange portal appeared behind her as she prepared to run away.
"I've come to bargain, young Cathulhu. Would you mind if we talk?"
Mir narrowed her eyes. The old man looked so fragile, but he hid a tremendous power inside him. She felt like she was facing Mu-Nyang in his prime.
Avoiding the confrontation, Mir started talking.
"What do you want?"
"Peace."
Solomon lowered his finger and pointed at the floor.
RUMBLE
The entire rundown apartment was instantly repaired and renovated. The room was fully furnished like a 5-star hotel suite. Moreover, the space in the room expanded.
Mir sensed a chill running down her spine. She knew what this mandate was.
Mandates were the exclusive power of deities after the great reset. By using the power of faith and religion, they could make the impossible possible. Moreover, a deity with certain spiritual roots could do more than just turn a fantasy into reality.
"Chaos Element? I thought Mao Miaomiao, Mu-Nyang, Kishin Douji, and Wei Yuan were the only ones with this spiritual root, mew!"
"It seems Mu-Nyang hasn't told you everything. I am the first disciple of Mu-Nyang. Well, I was until he banished me into a shadow realm and cut ties with me."
Discovering Solomon's identity, Mir finally remembered him. She had seen him before when Mu-Nyang and Solomon were together during the pre-Mazinger-Cathulhu War era.
"I remember you, mew. I think you misunderstood his intention. Lord Mu-Nyang did it to save you from the Mazingers! He cut ties with you, so you wouldn't die during the Mazinger-Cathulhu War because of the chaotic karma back then!"
"I knew."
"Then, why are you betraying Lord Mu-Nyang!? Why are you siding with Pangu, mew?!"
Solomon deeply sighed. He walked toward the balcony and looked outside, "I, too, want to make his dream a reality. But his method is wrong."
The demon king pointed at the pedestrian in Seoul Metropolitan, "This place, this civilization, those weakling and selfish humans, why is he keeping them alive? They're useless and insignificant to us."
Mir scoffed, "Without mortals and believers, gods can't exist, mew."
"Is that really the case?"
"Gods exist because the mortals wish for it, mew!"
"That's where you're wrong," Solomon burst into laughter and clapped his hands.
RUMBLE
The blue sky reddened and the white clouds turned dark. A hundred eyeballs manifested in the sky, and the temperature on Earth rose.
The phenomenon caused the crowd to panic and scream in fright. They looked up, horrified by the unknown entities in the sky.
"STOP!" Mir hissed and a shadow lance emerged from the ground below Solomon's feet. It impaled him from below and pierced through his head.
Yet, Solomon didn't flinch. His body slipped out of the shadow spike as if it was made from liquid, and it regenerated back to normal.
"Gods are nothing but tools for the higher entity to realize his Dao and transcend all laws and restrictions of the higher universe. Gods exist because the higher entity allows it! Without the higher entity's permission, we would have become a grain of dust!"
"…"
Mir bit her lower lips. Her expression turned solemn.
Solomon clapped his hands again, and the eyes vanished. The sky turned to normal.
The people on earth looked at the clear sky, dumbfounded and shocked by the strange anomaly. News stations recorded the entire event while the locals speculated what had happened.
Solomon walked toward Mir. He crouched and gently patted her head, "Go tell master Mu-Nyang for me. There is no need to keep humans around. Let my demons take over the world, and we will help Cathulhus kill the Mazingers and Pangu."
"What about humans' souls, mew?"
"None of them is necessary. Let me recycle them into something useful."
"You…"
"Without the humans, there will be no players. Without players, Pangu will have no sacrificial lambs to resurrect his Mazinger soldiers. He will be weakened because he has nobody else to worship him. Therefore, this deal will be beneficial for him."
"…"
Solomon stood up and turned around. He took several steps toward the balcony as if he was about to leave.
Suddenly, Solomon recalled something. He looked back and glanced at the wiggling shadow of Mir.
"I almost forgot. Give Miao Xiaomao a message. Tell him that his grandfather said hi."
"Xiaomao has no grandfather like you, mew!"
"Indeed. We're not related by blood, but," Solomon grinned. "Mao Miaomiao is. How many sex partners do you think he has? He did it with my daughter, and she's one of Xiaomao's stepmothers. So…"
Solomon vanished from the apartment. He seemed to be in a good mood.
He left with a parting word.
"I'll give him a friendly gift to remind him that I'm not his enemy."
A wisp of Solomon's Qi entered Mir's shadow and sank into Xiaomao's forehead.
Sensing the wisp of Solomon Qi, Mir panicked.
It was a soul of a great demon, one of 72 Solomon's minions!
"NOOOOO!!"

= Xiaomao Pocket Dantian =
Meditating for a year could make a man insane, but Xiaomao held it in.
A year inside the dantian world passed by quickly. Xiaomao managed to condense a bucket's worth of concentrated Life Essence, aka the fluid version of compressed Qi.
BEEP-BEEP
As Mir had set up an alarm bell to reward him, Xiaomao stopped cultivating. He opened his eyes and reached out for the blue panel in front of him.
The menu showed a list of peerless beauties of all races from ancient times. Their portraits were all nude pictures, and the list of their abilities was displayed.
However, Xiaomao didn't care. He was about to go insane from a long year of isolation and loneliness. Without thinking, he searched for a certain name.
Wei Yuan
The portrait of his previous fantasy life's mother appeared. She came out as a level-299 cultivator. However, on the right corner of her portrait, there was an extra button – [Edit Age].
The button distracted him from the dirty thought. Curious, Xiaomao pressed the button.
DING
A new menu appeared.
<Please adjust the age of Wei Yuan's clone. The older, the stronger the clone.>
"…"
Xiaomao looked at the slider scroll bar. He moved it all the way to the right, measuring the limit of his mother's age.
It stopped at 100, which was odd. However, the cultivation and the appearance of Wei Yuan drastically changed. Her cultivation base increased and showed a different detail.
.
Name: Wei Yuan
Race: Chaos Oni
Gender: Female
Class: Guardian Queen of Mao Miaomiao, Divine Mother of Chaos
Specialties: Mandate of Chaos, Unified Bloodline, Compound Elements, Dantian Universe
Origins: Heavenly Goose Planet
.
She looked different from when she was 17. She had a few tattoos on her chest, and her body proportion looked more mature and refined.
Xiaomao drooled at the nude image of his mysterious mother in the other life. A few minutes later, he slapped his face, getting rid of his sinful thoughts.
"What was I thinking? Was I trying to bang with a clone of my other life's mother?!"
Xiaomao's boner was killed, but it quickly rose again due to his pending frustration and boredom. Although reluctant, Xiaomao pulled the slider to the left-most, decreasing the cultivation base of Wei Yuan's clone to the lowest.
He clapped his hands and prayed.
"I'm so sorry, mom. But you're too sexy! I know that it's wrong on many levels, but doing it with your clone doesn't count! It's the same as doing it with a sex doll with your face! Please forgive me!"
While closing his eyes, one of his tentacles on the back moved and pressed the [Summon] button!
BZZ
Something went wrong. The button didn't work.
"???"
Xiaomao opened his eyes and looked at the summon button on the panel. It was grey.
DING
<Warning, the summon menu has been disabled due to the presence of an outsider. For the sake of the pocket dantian's stability, please remove the outsider before you summon a clone.>
"Huh?"
Xiaomao didn't remember that he had summoned anybody. He looked around in confusion.
As soon as Xiaomao looked up, he saw a figure of a naked woman, who had been kneeling and kowtowing toward him.
"Who are you?"
The woman slowly raised her head. She was a refined beauty with long black hair, white-jade smooth skin, and a perfect slender body. Her chest and bust size were moderate, but it showed that she was still young and pure.
However, she had two dragon horns and a dragon tail.
"My name is Amon. I'm one of Solomon's 72 great demons."
"!!!"
"This might be sudden, but he has sent me here to serve as your chambermaid and a dual-cultivation partner in your pocket dantian. I will also act as your guardian to protect you from Pangu and Odin's assassins."
The black-haired demon, Amon, looked up and saw the erected thing. Without hesitation, she sat on her butt and spread her legs. She also used her fingers to spread her peach.
"If you wish, you can partake of me. I don't mind bearing your children. Please use my body to relieve your stress, young master."
"…"
