Chapter 415 – Cathulhu's Families and Friends on the Move!
Mao Miaomiao returned to the ballroom, where the party of politicians was held. He went to the archangel table and called his elder brother.
"Uriel, I need you to do something for me."
"What up?" One of the angels in hooded robes stopped drinking and faced his younger sibling.
"Can you transform into me and take over my job? Mu-Nyang asked me to go protagonist-hunting again."
"Another hunt?" Uriel put down the martini glass and grumbled, "Which one do you need to kill? Actually, why don't you send your brothers to help you?"
"You have no chance, bro. Do you still have the private chat system menu? I'll send you a screenshot of that mofo's detail."
"Alright. Send it to me."
Mao Miaomiao opened the quest menu that he had received from Mu-Nyang. Then, he used the screenshot function and sent the picture to Uriel's chat box.

Analysis
James Huntsman is one of the few protagonists of this generation who doesn't have a memory of his previous life. He was born in Canada, but he grew up in the United States. Because of the severe bullying he faced when he was a child, he develops a habit of lying, stealing, cheating, and taking advantage of the weak.
Upon getting a superpower, he exploited the people of his country. He slaughtered countless Solomon Ghosts and robbed the victim's family in secret. Then, he blamed the losses on the ghosts of hell and scotched free. When he was caught, he always killed the witnesses and blamed it on the ghosts as usual.
Huntsman's plot armor comes from his soul transfer and clone abilities. He always hid a clone of himself before a fight. If he managed to win, he dispelled the clone and moved on with life. But when he lost, he, without fail, transferred his soul, items, dantian crystal, gears, and all progress he made to the clone's body. Then, the clone became the real body while the previous shell turned into a nuclear bomb.
In addition, Huntsman hides many secrets and abilities that he has copied from various immortals and deities from Game World Number Two. So far, he has copied Devil, Xu Chu, Xu Xiuying, Xu Lanying, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei's abilities, Daos, and skills. If he feels like it, he can fight like them and pulverize any deity he comes across.
Currently, James Huntsman sets his sight on Miao Xiaomao, another protagonist in the generation. As Miao Xiaomao has already defeated him once, the copy system automatically activates, and Huntsman will slowly learn Miao Xiaomao's abilities. Once he masters everything, he will settle the feud with Miao Xiaomao. And because of the war between Mu-Nyang's followers and Solomon, he is likely to join Solomon Faction to take advantage of the war resources and war trophies.
Huntsman's weaknesses are his cockiness, arrogance, and scumbag nature. Many people hate him and are willing to offer aid to your campaign if you ask them. Also, because he never picks a fight when he isn't ready, he is prone to go into hiding during his preparation. If you can locate and catch him during this period, you might be able to enforce a fight or assassinate him.

Uriel dispelled his camouflage and showed his eyes, which looked the same as Mao Miaomiao's face.
"What in the actual fuck is this guy? Growth Rate Level 99? Are you serious?!"
"That's what I said when Mu-Nyang showed his stats," Mao Miaomiao scratched his head and clicked his tongue. "Now, you know that I'm in a bind here. My son is in danger. This motherfucker is a ticking time bomb. I can't let him finish copying Xiaomao's abilities."
Uriel closed the chat menu. He ejected a set of clothes from his spatial ring and gave them to Mao Miaomiao.
"Those are my spare clothes. Put them on and pretend to be me. Also, I need your clothes."
"Are you sure you can wear my pants? It might be a bit too big for your groin. My dick is bigger than everybody here."
"SHUT IT AND GIVE IT TO ME!!"
Mao Miaomiao laughed and exchanged his spare clothes with Uriel's. The two angels went to the toilet together. A few minutes later, they came out at the same time. However, the black-winged angel's face was a bit red while the archangel in the hoodie covered his appearance in black gas as usual.
Along the way, several wives of the local ministers saw them. They secretly whispered.
"Do the aliens swing that way?"
"Well, one of them is probably a she, right?"
"Hohoho. Let's tell the others. This is a scoop!"
None of them noticed that the feathers on their wings fluctuated as they changed their feather color by using their personal camouflage skills. Mao Miaomiao quietly left the building and flew to space. Meanwhile, Uriel walked back to the ballroom and reported to his boss first. However, he had already dispelled the black gas and revealed his true face.
"Captain. Miaomiao asked me to be his double. Please tell the others to treat me as him until he comes back."
The captain of archangels, Michael, facepalmed, "What the hell is he playing again?"
"He is going protagonist hunting. The target is James Huntsman from W-2."
"Isn't he as weak as Xie Tian? Why is he moving personally?"
"Mu-Nyang's order. Also, you and others should look at this," Uriel secretly opened his chat menu and shared the screenshot with the crew.
While Uriel was chatting with his brothers, Hiiro approached him, mistaking Uriel for Mao Miaomiao.
"Hey, when do we leave? We have been staying in this hotel for days now. Shouldn't we join the game world and fight Solomon?"
Uriel coughed. He pretended to sound like Mao Miaomiao, "There's no hurry. Nian and others are on our side, and Solomon is heavily injured. We need to please these politicians and make them publicize the cause of the outbreak and atrocity. When we have the top brass' support, we can move on to the media. After that, we'll convince the world to join the game world and gain superpower."
Hiiro was interested as Mao Miaomiao never shared this intel with him, "Are you sure that's a good idea? I thought Solomon controlled all game worlds."
"We've taken over the game company. My subordinates are reprogramming the game systems right now. Once we finish, we can remove Solomon's game laws and send the new players to the original game worlds."
Hiiro was relieved, "Then, do you mind if we go visit my family? They might be worried sick about me."
"I'm busy. You go alone."
"Huh?" Hiiro was surprised. He had expected Mao Miaomiao to decline him, "I really can go? You won't kill me or capture me anymore?"
"I don't give a damn. Just go and come back when you're ready to fight."
"…"
Hiiro had a feeling that Mao Miaomiao was strangely kind today. He slightly nodded and left the hotel, ignoring the government agents and other crowds.
After Hiiro had left, a Caucasian middle-aged man approached Uriel next. He introduced himself.
"Hello. My name is John Sheffield. By chance, do you know if my son is still alive in the game world?"
Uriel stopped what he was doing and looked at the man in a suit. He wondered how he got in here. Still, he asked the name of his son to be polite.
"I'll do what I can. May I know your son's name and in-game name?"
"Chase Sheffield. His IGN is Chase. He disappeared into his game capsule a couple months ago, but I saw some posts on the internet that he's still alive."
"Chase Sheffield?"
Uriel knew that name. After all, he was one of the protagonists, and he was the direct disciple of Mao Miaomiao. He couldn't help but smile.
"He's alive and well. Actually, he is very healthy and strong."
"R-Really?! Do you have any photos or videos of him? I wish to see him if he's doing fine!"
"Oh, sure. Give me a moment."
Uriel closed his eyes and read Chase's karma. He opened his palms and a screen manifested.
The floating screen attracted the attention of everybody in the ballroom. It showed the live broadcast of Chase Sheffield in the game world. Because of the distance between Earth and the game world, the broadcast was delayed by hours.
Instead of showing what Chase was doing in real-time, it showed the scene where Chase was surrounded by dragons.
"Oh my god!"
Chase's father exclaimed as he recognized his son. Also, the latter was in danger.
SWUA SWUA
Suddenly, Chase unsheathed his katana and sheathed it. The next moment, all dragons were chopped to pieces.
"W-Wow! Who is this?!" The ministers and their wives were astonished. As for John, he cried.
"My boy. You're alive!" He turned to Uriel next, "C-Can he return? Do you have a way for him to come back?"
Uriel strongly nodded, "He can."
"Then!"
Uriel smiled and seized this opportunity to finish Mao Miaomiao's job. He explained, "Chase is currently trapped in the game world because of our enemy, Solomon. If we can defeat his army and end his tyranny, we can rescue him and bring him home. Right now, we need every human's help. That's why we've come here to ask for reinforcement."
John Sheffield stopped crying. He clenched his fists for a moment before he pulled out a business card from his pocket and showed it to Uriel.
"Let me reintroduce myself. I'm John Sheffield, the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine. Tell me, sir. What do you need the world to do? Just one word, and I'll freaking move the entire world for you!"
Uriel raised his brow, surprised by John and Chase's backgrounds and influence. He slightly smiled, "Do you have a paper? I'll list it for you."
John brought out a voice recorder and a notebook. He pressed the record button and was ready to take notes, "Whenever you're ready, sir."
"Good. Listen well."
Uriel inwardly snickered. He believed that Chase's protagonist luck was at work here. He took this opportunity to abuse Mao Miaomiao's identity to get things done.
