Chapter 430 – Cathulhu's Friends Unleash Monsters
It had been several days since Wei Zhi and many monsters from Slave Dungeon were transported to random game worlds.
On the first day of her arrival, Wei Zhi guided an army of level-999 ant girls, party girls, metal mannequins, and obnoxious pretty skins to raid a lizardman's fortress. They successfully captured the settlement and used them as their base.
With a solid headquarter and a fortified fortress, the group became the powerhouse of the Game World Number 10. However, that was not their end goal.
As Wei Zhi wished to return to Slave Dungeon, she aimed to become a level-10,000 deity. She cultivated hard while her army protected the fortress.
Because of Wei Zhi's unique class and chaos element, every time she gained new strength, skill, magic, or ability, her subordinates also got stronger. As a result, the monster girls kept up with Wei Zhi's growth and became the only group of immortals in the game world number 10.
.
The white fortress was peaceful as usual. Level-4000 metal mannequins patrolled the walls and scared several level-999 players away.
Wei Zhi in her Oni appearance walked out from a watchtower. She pursed her lips as she could no longer get any stronger - After condensing 40 chaos stars in her dantian universe, her belly felt uncomfortable. Any cultivation attempt made her nauseous.
"General, GEH. Are you okay?"
Her aide, a pretty skin, noticed Wei Zhi's complexion. She rushed to help, but her words made the Oni annoyed.
"I ain't gay! You're gay!"
The aide scratched her head, wondering what was wrong with her boss, "Confusion of da highest orda, GEH."
Wei Zhi gave up on trying to correct the pretty skin tribe's accent. She glanced at the blinking bell icon in the top right corner of her vision, where a bell icon was. A red circle appeared on top of it and showed the number of unread messages.
She sighed and checked the pending notification messages.
DING
<Your level has surpassed this world's limit. Would you like to teleport to the new world?>
<Hint: Higher Worlds offer greater rewards than the Lower Worlds.>
Wei Zhi had seen this message a thousand times already. She pressed "No" and left it alone.
What was the point of going to the new world when she had a strong base here? Wei Zhi was not stupid enough to fall for Solomon's traps.
As usual, Wei Zhi saw hundreds of the same notification messages. She treated it as spam and dismissed everything. However, one message was different from the rest.
It came from the game server on Earth.
<Dear brave players in the game worlds, this is the message from your new game moderator, Metatron.>
"Huh?"
Wei Zhi stopped her finger from swiping this message away. She continued reading.
<We have received your messages regarding the issues you're facing. We are aware that many gamers are stuck in the game because of technical issues, and we never ignored these issues. In fact, the United Nations has taken control of the game server, and we've fixed the bugs.>
<Attached with this message is a teleportation scroll. By using it, you can teleport back to Earth. It might sound strange since some of you are using a game avatar at the moment, but please have faith in us. Use the scroll and your issues will be resolved.>
"That's it?"
That was the end of the message. Wei Zhi smirked, mocking the message in her mind.
"They don't even disclose the truth to players. How can I trust them if they can't even have a shred of honesty."
Wei Zhi mistook Metatron servant of Solomon. She had no idea that he was one of Mao Miaomiao's elder brothers, so she chose not to accept the scroll.
After closing the message, Wei Zhi walked back to the residential area in the fortress to check on the other girls. She hoped that her stomach pain would be gone after a light walk.
But as the Oni samurai descended the stairs, the sky turned dark. A massive portal was opened directly above her fortress.
Wei Zhi looked up. On the other side of the portal, she saw a large floating eyeball with a hundred tentacles around it. Shocked by the H.P. Lovecraft's creature, she unsheathed a long katana and prepared to fight.
However, the eyeball simply gazed at Wei Zhi. It talked to her.
"I've come in peace. Please put down your weapon."
Wei Zhi didn't let her guard down. As she was wary of Solomon's tricks, she yelled, "WHO ARE YOU?! WHAT ARE YOU?!"
The eyeball calmly responded, "My name is Hundun. I'm one of the calamity fiends of the third game world. My purpose here is to guide you back to Slave Dungeon so that we can discuss our plans to repel Solomon Army."
"Hundun?!"
Wei Zhi widened her eyes in astonishment. She had heard about him from Cernun.
In the third game world, there were a total of seven calamity fiends. Wei Zhi inherited the Calamity of Wrath from Diabolos, but there were six others.
Taotie, the World Eater, the Calamity of Gluttony
Anglerfish, the Hoarder, the Calamity of Greed
Emerald Hopea, the Temptress Queen, the Calamity of Lust
Dandan, the Guardian Beast, the Calamity of Pride
Meirong, the Constellation of Corruption, the Calamity of Envy
Hundun, the Dark Observer, the Calamity of Sloth
Wei Zhi knew some of them, but the other half was foreign to her. Moreover, Cernun used to tell her that Hundun, Anglerfish, and Meirong were sealed somewhere.
She didn't trust Hundun. Wei Zhi yelled again to make sure.
"Bring me Taotie, and I'll believe you!"
Hundun's eyeball curved up as if it smiled, "Alright. I'm sure that Nihil bastard will be glad to see you, too. Oh, Party Queen sends you regards. Thanks for protecting her babies, she said."
"Party Queen? That KIKI girl?"
"Yes. She has become a deity. She is waiting for you and your team to return."
"…"
Wei Zhi was still reluctant. She looked behind her and found her subordinates.
A thousand party girls were also there, gazing at Hundun. Some of them also pleaded with Wei Zhi with their doodle eyes.
"Kikikiki (You can trust him.)"
"Kikikiki (Yeah, he sounds nice.)"
Wei Zhi shook her head. She looked up and yelled, "As I said, bring me Taotie! I won't go anywhere without him!"
The eyeball chuckled even though he had no mouth. A moment later, he moved away from the portal, but a new existence came into view.
The colossus lion with a wide mouth gleefully showed his face. His ominous human teeth made his smiling face creepy.
"Yo, little Oni. Wassup! IT ZE ME, TAOTIE!"
"…"
Wei Zhi's expression turned into a pokerface meme. She recognized this obnoxious voice very well.
That was Taotie in the flesh for sure. Hundun did not lie.
"Mama Mia, what's with that look? As a fellow calamity fiend, you should be glad to see your colleagues!"
"…"
"Oh, you should hurry. Odin has detected a massive star coming closer to our world. He said that it's Olympus 2.0 or something. In an hour, that star will collide with our planet. We have to stop the collision or our base will go poof!"
Wei Zhi stopped hesitating. She asked the senior.
"How do we go home? Through that portal?"
Taotie's mane spread and transformed into ten thousand arms. He ensured her, "Just tell everybody to jump into the portal. We're in space at the moment, by the way. I'll catch you and bring you to our HQ."
"…"
Wei Zhi wryly smiled. She wanted to ask Taotie to bring her to the Slave Dungeon instead.
Unfortunately, the bond between the dungeon monsters and Taotie was too strong. They didn't wait for Wei Zhi's permission as they leaped into the large portal right away.
None of the mannequins, party girls, ant girls, and pretty skins needed to breathe. Thus, they were fine going to space.
"Arrgh! FINE! WHATEVER! I'm going!"
Wei Zhi sheathed her katana and shuttled to the sky. She crossed the portal to the other side, and Taotie caught her with his long mane. Taotie closed the portal and put everyone on his back.
The Oni circulated chaos Qi and covered her head with a wind-element bubble, generating air for herself. Then, she inspected the size of the naughty lion.
Wei Zhi sat on Taotie's large head, but she couldn't see his torso. From her perspective, his head was so large that she couldn't see the end of the horizon.
His freaking head was larger than Earth!
"What the hell are you, Taotie?!" Wei Zhi exclaimed.
The floating eyeball swam into space and looked at her from above. He giggled and flexed his size. Like Taotie, Hundun's eyeball was massive, bigger than Taotie's head. His humongous tentacles fluttered around in every direction. Extending from the hundreds of tentacles were billion-kilometer-long hairy tentacles, acting as branches.
Wei Zhi had goosebumps. She imagined herself getting touched by those creepy things.
As Wei Zhi believed that she had seen everything, she noticed a blinking bright light in the depth of space. It slowly came closer.
At first, it looked like a sun. However, behind the bright sun was a pair of red eyes.
"W-What is that?" Wei Zhi pointed toward the approaching Sun.
Taotie and Hundun turned around. Then, they laughed.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about him."
"Yup. He's harmless when he's not hungry."
Wei Zhi was confused, "An ally? Who is that?"
The answer soon revealed itself as the Sun got close enough.
The source of light wasn't the sun but a dangling flesh, extended from the forehead of that creature. The light shone upon the two giant eyes, revealing the face of a star-size anglerfish and his heinous mouth, fangs, scales, and disfigured body of a fish.
Anglerfish, the calamity of Greed, opened his mouth and deeply sighed. He complained.
"The standard of calamity fiends is terrible these days. Why is the next generation so small? I can barely see her. I might have to use a magnify glass whenever I need to chat with the successor of wrath now. It's a sin to torture this old fish, you know?"
"…"
Wei Zhi gulped. She couldn't believe what she saw.
Taotie snickered and introduced their new friends.
"Say hi to your senior. We've freed Anglerfish from the seal under Cernun Island, and we have come to an agreement. He will help us fight Poseidon, and Odin will give him half of his treasures in Asgard as payment."
"HUH?!"
