Chapter 429 – Cathulhu's Avengers Assemble!

WHOOSH

Xiaomao, Chase, and Mao Miaomiao leaped off the portal and arrived at a new world. As soon as their feet landed, Lilith came out of Xiaomao's dantian universe and gazed at her former home. She knelt and picked up sand from the ground.

They found themselves in the middle of a desert. Dunes of sand and countless threads of karma in the sky were the only things they saw. As for the temperature, it was minus 5,000, which could have potentially frozen all lives.

The three men circulated their Qi to keep their bodies warm. Chase exhaled the vapor of cold air and rubbed his arms.

"Are you sure this is Hell? It's freezing!"

Mao Miaomiao snickered, "This is what happens when Hell freezes over. At least, I don't see any ice here."

Xiaomao looked at the Samsara River with a deep frown. Then, he asked Lilith, "Has that river always been there?"

Lilith looked up and was shocked, "No. My Netherworld Realm never had that. It must have been Solomon's doing."

"Aside from the Samsara River, I designated the destination of this portal near Solomon's hideout. Does Netherworld Realm has an illusion array or hidden dungeons underground?"

Lilith tossed the sand back, "This is not an illusion. This place is real."

"Hmm."

Xiaomao closed his eyes and searched for Solomon's whereabouts. Unfortunately, his vision was blocked by a dark curtain of karmic energy.

He knew this curtain well. It was a protection mechanism for heavenly fate crystal bearers when they were critically injured. Whenever their enemies were close, this mechanism always showed up and saved the fate bearers from harm. Only when the fate bearers were completely recovered, it would be disabled.

Mao Miaomiao also saw the curtain. However, he had another nickname for this anomaly.

"Damn plot armor."

Xiaomao nodded, "His protagonist's fate is interfering with us. His luck should be superior to ours combined."

"Wait a minute," Mao Miaomiao broke a sweat. "If his luck is better than ours, do we have a chance?"

"Only if we can find him before he's recovered. If we fail, I can still somewhat survive the ordeal, but everybody here will die, including you, father."

"Ah, well. I like the sound of that."

Mao Miaomiao cackled. He had been in a similar situation when he fought Xie Tian as a mortal in his previous life, yet he emerged victorious in the end.

As for Chase, he didn't think much of it. He gazed at the horizon and remarked, "It doesn't matter. If he returns, I can cripple him again!"

Xiaomao admired their spirit. They were different from the other protagonists.

Lilith stared at the corny protagonists with dull eyes. She reminded them, "For now, let's search for Solomon's hideout. Also, the Netherworld Realm is a copy of Divine Theocracy Earth without humans, the Milky Way galaxy, the solar system, animals, civilization, and water. My old palace is at the depth of Mariana Trench, so we have to figure out our position on the planet first. Then, we can head to my old home. I'm sure that Solomon must be using my old palace as his headquarter."

Mao Miaomiao nodded and stopped playing around. He kicked the ground and jumped 5,000 kilometers into the sky. When he was in the atmosphere, he scanned the planet to pinpoint its location.

Without the ocean, it was slightly difficult to differentiate Earth's continents apart. However, the tall mountains and mountain ranges gave enough clues.

Mao Miaomiao descended and reported to everybody.

"We're in the North Atlantic Ocean, about 3000km away from America's East Coast. Mariana Trench is half the world away."

Chase shrugged, "At least, this star is smaller than the game worlds. Which direction should we go, master? West or East?"

Lilith pointed at the west, the America Continent.

"The European and Asian Continent is full of anomalies and dragon pits. If we want to avoid confrontations with the local dragons and Solomon's minions, we should cross the America Continent. At least, the dragons there aren't as tricky as rain dragons and naga dragons."

"Are American dragons stupid?" Mao Miaomiao was curious.

"No. They're either obese or muscular. Anyway, they're big, and their firepower is superior to others. That's all we have to worry about."

"Sounds like a trouble ahead, though."

"It's fine. Before I left this world, the local dragons invited dragons from other continents to their nests for a certain project… what was it? Diversity enrichment? Young female dragons were attracted to male shadow-element dragons those days, and those foolish women usually ended up as single mothers. Only lucky ones had a complete family. Also, the order of that place was piss poor because of those newcomers. They usually robbed the other dragon's treasures or killed their colleagues because of trivial matters. As long as we keep our weapons and spatial rings out of their sight, they wouldn't pay attention to us."

Xiaomao, Mao Miaomiao, Chase: "…"

Xiaomao widened his eyes and glanced at Lilith for a moment before he looked away, acting like a monkey puppet meme. Mao Miaomiao sweated waterfall while Chase's dark expression turned into "Oh, God. Why?" meme.

None of them commented on the background of this world and pretended not to hear it.

Lilith smirked at the trio, "I was referring to the local dragons. What are you idiots thinking about? Do you think I'm talking about something sensitive?"

Everybody repeatedly nodded.

Lilith laughed, "Y'all are overthinking. Anyway, let's go west. We have no time to lose, right? Xiaomao?"

Xiaomao coughed, "Yes. Let's hurry before Solomon assimilates with his new power. It's best if we kill him now."

The group silently followed Xiaomao's advice and flew west.

.

.

As the group flew over the continent. As Lilith had said, no dragon bothered with them. They simply looked at their fingers, scanning for spatial rings. When they noticed that nobody wore a thing, they looked away.

"Are they not Solomon's minions?" Mao Miaomiao wondered why they hadn't been attacked yet.

Lilith sneered at the crowd below, "They don't have the motivation to do so. Without benefits, none of them will risk their lives."

"…"

The group crossed the continent unchallenged.

After crossing the continent, they reached the place where it should be the Pacific Ocean. However, they found another low desert.

Unfortunately, this place was densely packed with immortal sand dragons and immortal demons. The monsters looked up and glared at Xiaomao and others.

The sand dragons were 50-meter-tall light-brown Komodo dragons with scorpion tails. As for the demons, they were humanoid giants with goat heads, riding on the back of sand dragons.

"ENEMIES!"

"KILL!"

Despite being a lot weaker than Xiaomao, Mao Miaomiao, and Chase, they charged toward the sky like flying cavalries and used their constellation domains. Countless magic circles and weapons appeared out of nothingness.

Chase clicked his tongue and unsheathed his katana. In one slash, all a thousand domains were destroyed, and a thousand dragons cried in pain.

The demons counterattacked. They roared and brought out their scythes and swung down even though they were several hundred meters away.

Mao Miaomiao raised his hands and Qi aura enveloped everybody. The invisible energy slashes collided with their barriers.

Xiaomao clapped his hands, preparing to use the hand-incantation spell. However, Mao Miaomiao created an energy sword in the sky and shouted.

"SCRAM!"

The energy sword in the sky swung down. As soon as it moved, over 10,000 immortal dragons and demons were slashed in half. The cavalry troops instantly fell from the sky.

Mao Miaomiao puffed his chest and looked at his son, "See? Your papa is STRONK!"

Xiaomao: "…"

ROAR

As soon as Mao Miaomiao started celebrating, countless dragon roars echoed and caused the air to tremble. Everybody immediately turned around to look at the America Continent that they had crossed.

10,000 black dragons were in the sky. They screamed and charged toward them.

ROAR

More screams came from the west. An army of 500,000 rain dragons turned the sky into a massive dark cloud. Like the black dragons, they also came for Xiaomao and Mao Miaomiao.

Xiaomao wryly smiled and asked Lilith.

"You said they wouldn't attack us."

Lilith awkwardly laughed, "Solomon might have noticed us. He must have ordered them to attack us."

"It doesn't matter," Mao Miaomiao pointed his finger at the energy sword in the sky. "You two save your energy. I'll crush them all in a minute!"

SWOOSH!

The energy sword moved. Instantly, the crowd of dragons was sliced, and corpses rained from the sky.

ROAR!

Unfortunately, half of the dragons self-resurrected. Countless strings of karma in the sky fell and merged with them. Then, they evolved into deity dragons and demon gods.

"Huh?"

Xiaomao, Mao Miaomiao, and Chase flinched. They sensed the aura of a powerful being among the crowd, who was responsible for their resurrection.

Mao Miaomiao stared into the crowd of rain dragons. He noticed the figure of a giant red demonic being in the army.

The demon's skin was as red as blood. His two horns, beast-like face, and long fangs often appeared in stories or video games. His eight featherless wings and long tail emitted the same energy as Xiaomao and Mao Miaomiao's wings.

Tlaloc, the Chaos Demon, rode a deity rain dragon and glared at Mao Miaomiao's party. He raised an axe and bellowed.

"As long as I'm here, no dragon or demon can die! Go, men! Kill them all and bring their fate crystals to me!"

Mao Miaomiao's expression turned dark. He yelled, "Tlaloc, you traitor!"

Tlaloc sneered, "I never served Mu-Nyang or anyone. We were just using each other."

Mao Miaomiao thought of the time they fought alongside each other. Although they were not close, the black-winged angel was still angry. He gnashed his teeth.

"I'm going to handle Tlaloc. Chase, you're weaker than Xiaomao, I want you to clear a path for him to go through. As for you, son, go get Solomon!"

"Sounds cliché," Xiaomao glanced at Tlaloc. He had predicted this scenario, but he hated this development.

If he accepted, he would get into a showdown fight, and the chance of winning would be 50-50. But if he stayed here and fought, Solomon might recover his strength, and everybody would need to fight an uphill battle.

However, he had the third option.

"No need. I might be short on lifespan, but I can still instant-kill an antagonist-class sage!"

Xiaomao pointed his finger at Tlaloc. Then, he clenched his fist.

BOOM

Tlaloc exploded and turned into a blood mist. His soul orb and dantian crystal fell from his body.

Mao Miaomiao and Chase smiled. They were glad that Xiaomao's golden finger was absurdly broken to the point that he could kill sages by just pointing his finger.

RUMBLE

Unfortunately, countless threads of karma descended from the Samsara River. They coiled around Tlaloc's soul orb and dantian crystal, recreating his body. It only took a second for Tlaloc to be resurrected.

The red demon burst into laughter and opened his arms.

"Hahahaha! I know about your power, Miao Xiaomao! Lord Solomon told me everything! You cannot kill me as long as I'm in this world!"

"…"

Mao Miaomiao, Chase, and Xiaomao narrowed their eyes. This fight started to get complicated.

Tlaloc pointed his hand toward the Samsara River. He declared, "By the authority of Lord Solomon, I'm now the Samsara God. As long as the river exists, I can't die-*SWUA*"

Déjà vu!

I have been to this place before!

That was what Xiaomao's mind sang. A hand appeared out of nowhere and pierced through Tlaloc's back. The hand exited from the chest and held the chaos demon's soul orb.

A young man in black ragged clothes appeared behind Tlaloc. He whispered.

"Since when have I abdicated my title to the likes of you? I don't remember giving up the Samsara River to anyone."

Tlaloc widened his eyes in shock. On the other hand, Mao Miaomiao chortled. He remembered the beggar well.

He was the true successor of the Samsara River, the Samsara God Meng Xin!

"MENG XIN!!" Tlaloc bellowed and tried to get his soul orb back.

However, Meng Xin crushed it!

Tlaloc wanted to scream, but no word came out of his mouth. His body dispersed and reverted to strings of karma.

Meng Xin glared at the wandering karma strings. As if they were alive, they frantically returned to the Samsara River in the sky. After the strings were gone, the beggar god glared at the rain dragons and the black dragons.

"If y'all wish to retain your right to reincarnate in the afterlife, SCRAM! IF I CATCH YOU HINDERING THEM, I'LL DRAG YOUR SOULS OUT OF YOUR SHELL AND FEED THEM TO KARMA FISH!"

The dragons shrieked in fright. They fled in every direction, running for their lives.

Chase and Xiaomao gazed at Meng Xin in astonishment. As for Mao Miaomiao, he smiled from ear to ear.

Meng Xin noticed the obnoxious smile of the black-winged angel. He clicked his tongue and yelled.

"Don't misunderstand! I merely reclaim my Samsara River from those infidels! Once I'm done with Solomon, I'll be sure to claim your head, Mao Miaomiao!"

"Yeah, yeah." Mao Miaomiao snickered, "Our Vegeta has made his entrance. His spotlight is over. Let's go."

When Chase and Xiaomao heard the keyword, they burst into laughter as Mao Miaomiao and Meng Xin's relationship was similar to Goku and Vegata's.

"Yeah, let's keep going."

"Main characters are all here. Let's go, Avengers!"
