Chapter 475 – Day 918 (Part 2) – Viewpoints 43

General Abdullah

“Emperor Michael,” I saluted the man as he arrived with his Imperial Guards at the staging ground to the level 4 zone. A road stretched out in front of us. Clarissa had been remarkably efficient in seeing that crystals to build a City Map, upgrade it, and then build a road had been delivered.

I didn’t disagree. It was important that we bring all hostile cities under our control. We couldn’t afford to let rebellious cities intent on attacki...

Chapter 474 – Day 918 – Viewpoints 42

Supreme Governor Clarissa

Looking over the reports that had been delivered to me, everything was running smoothly for the most part. The Governors were slowly adapting to competing with each other and already there were developments in the food angle.

There were also many that wanted to have their cities upgraded to level 4 for meat. I knew I couldn’t bother Michael too much about that, even if we were charging them. Using him as leverage to keep them in check w...

Chapter 44 – Journey With Southpaw

“Mittens?” A male shrew pulled up in a large van.

“Yes, Southpaw’s chief technician?” I asked.

“That’s me, but you can call me Screws. That your gear? And where is your tech?” he asked me.

“It is, Mousethief said to go on without him if he is late.”

“Southpaw won’t like that, Mousethief has a been of a rep. Well let’s get you loaded up, so we don’t slow things down.” I loaded up the three duffle bags.

“Jeez, what are you packing?...

Chapter 43 – The Truth

I noticed my father was inside along with the Master Assassins, Southpaw and Gary. “Mittens, I see Sharpeyes has cleared you, which is good to see. Any long term issues?” High Cleric Maximilian asked from behind his desk.

“Nothing serious from the poisoning. But I need to focus on my mental state due to the enraged state I entered,” I replied honestly, and he nodded.

“Please, sit. Your father just recounted things from his perspective, but I would like to hear yours abou...

Chapter 473 – Day 915 (Part 2) – Cult Of Doom

Acid Shot x3. Force Wave.I aimed at the knife one of the monsters was carrying and destroyed it. The monster collapsed after that. At least they were slow, except that when we got too far they teleported closer and then began their slow approach.

I had to wait for my energy to come back to take out another one permanently. But my protection detail was hard at work, killing the monsters. Or at least doing enough damage, the knife dropped. I had told them not to touch the knives ...

Chapter 472 – Day 915 – Knives In The Dark

“Emperor Michael approaching,” I called out to the campsite as I approached. It was very early, before dawn and still dark. I used Acid Shot to one side as confirmation of my identity and the soldiers saluted. Captain Francis, got up from where he had been resting, as I sat down at the table on the only chair. A lantern was set on it to light up the campsite.

There were a lot of looks at my bloody shoulder and arm. One of the soldiers brought over bandages and began cleanin...

Chapter 42 – Healing And Talking

We returned to the Island and Mousethief drove us back to the headquarters of the organization. We entered from the side entrance this time instead of the front. Mousethief disappeared with the car while I made my way to the third floor with my father.

My father escorted me to Doctor Sharpeyes’ office. The old female rat was waiting for us as we entered. “Coming to see me again. No respect for poison,” she said with a scoff. “Sit. And are you injured Tom Cat?”

“No,” ...

Chapter 41 – A Helpful MES

After stretching, I completed my report. I hesitated about the part about being swallowed. I had knowledge about purging poison from my body. It wasn’t obvious at first, but as I thought back to that moment I had been swallowed, I realized that I hadn’t survived the Ancestral Spirit on my own. Mes had helped me out, I was sure of that. I hadn’t even told my father about being swallowed.

I just wrote that I had gone into a blood rage, defeated the Snake Ancestral Spirit. That was t...

Chapter 471 – Day 914 (Part 2) – Sandstorm

The sandstorm raged in front of me. I stuck a hand out into the outer part of the transition between zones, and I could feel the grains of sand striking my hand, hurting it. I could also feel it burning away at the maximum allowance I had for my Body stat.

The Body stat allowed me to create and nullify a certain amount of force. Normally this wasn’t too concerning, since I just used it to kick off the grounds or take the very rare physical attack to reduce the impact.

But this s...

Chapter 470 – Day 914 – Finding A Path Through The Cults

My protection detail and I had gone North from First Seoul the previous day. We crossed into a level 3 zone and stopped when it had turned from frostlands to stonelands and set up camp. Now that it was the following morning, I had set off before dawn to head North.

I wanted to poke some more level 4 zones. They were honestly interesting. I still wanted to find a level 5 boss and kill them and look at level 5 zones. Kicking off the boulders that made the stonelands, I easily made my way ...

Chapter 40 – Blood Rage

Upside down in the air and the Ancestral Snake Spirit almost upon me. I felt the shadow of death loom over me. This was it, everything I had worked for was going to end like this. Ripped apart by a snake. I refused to let that happen! I killed other creatures. They didn’t kill me.

Twisting around in the air, I pushed my body and spine to the very limit to rotate my body. To reorient myself to be facing the snake. To move in between the fangs. I remembered to take a deep breath. Its to...

Chapter 39 – High Apostate Bastet

Tom Cat

I worried for my reckless daughter. While the ducks were a joke, the fact that an Apostate had been at the last sight was concerning. I lay crouched on top of the truck as Mousethief drove up the mountain. The engine was working overtime to move the truck up the mountain.

Mittens, my little kitten stressed me out. She had taken to this job like a fish to water. No matter how old she got, a father worries. I didn’t want to smother her, or worse try to con...

Chapter 469 – Day 912 – First Seoul

We stood outside the East gate in front of the city of First Seoul. There were two hundred soldiers behind my honor guard, led by a the governor Clarissa had arranged and a small group of trusted assistants to help him manage the city once it was taken over.

The city had been ordered to surrender. While I was tempted to just kill everyone, I had been asked to see if this could be resolved peacefully by the new governor. I didn’t like the idea, but it would be his mess after I left. So...

Chapter 468 – Day 910 – Protection Detail

I got back to the camp in the evening of day 910. “Identify yourself,” a soldier called out.

“Emperor Michael.” Acid Shot. I didn’t aim at the soldier, but he quickly nodded as I entered the campsite.

“Welcome back Emperor Michael,” he said and I nodded. I went over to a table that was set up and sat down at a chair as food was brought out. One of the small benefits of having a protection detail lugging things around. In time I would be using an airship, but...

Chapter 38 – A Triangle Of Apostates

“RAAAR!” Bloodtooth let out a roar and charged forward. Faststrike was right behind him. I had to stay directly in front of this large rat, otherwise I would get double teamed. But that was the most dangerous place to remain against a brute like Bloodtooth.

The spiked mace swung out. I ducked underneath it, and twisted my head to the side as he spat a glob of venom past me. He stepped back in time as my paw went for one of his legs. He brought his mace back up and around. I quickly ...

Chapter 37 – Infiltration

It was dark out as I climbed up the side of the mountain. Mes had been right. I needed to push my skills in new ways and this climb was perfect. The mountain was mostly rocks and shrubs, but there was the occasional tree.

The incline wasn’t bad, but the tricky part was avoiding being spotted and climbing up silently. That was the entire point of this approach. To stop the Quackening from happening in the first place. My pace was quick and there was heavy cloud cover blocking the light...

Chapter 467 – Day 908 – New Dhaka

Looking at the melted soldiers in the plaza, they hadn’t even stood a chance. The city of New Dhaka was just as easily defeated as New Jakarta. I shook my head. I had been hoping for a bit more of a fight. It was getting late. Time to find somewhere to hole up and then head back tomorrow.

I noticed an older man approaching me from across the plaza. He didn’t have much energy, so I walked towards him without hesitation, curious if this was a trap.

“Greetings,” the old man s...

Chapter 466 – Day 907 – The Fifth Caliphate, New Jakarta

The giant flesh colored pig slammed down into the ground where I had just been. Acid Shot x2. I aimed up in the air, since the pig was already leaping. My attacks struck it and I dodged out of the way as it the dirt of the darklands. It splattered open, its organs beginning to transform into smaller pigs. Acid Shot x2.

Its organs began to melt before I could be besieged by lots of little piglets. I had gotten used to the monsters now. Leaping pigs that exploded into sm...

Chapter 36 – Combat EXP

‘Avatar,’ I mentally called out as the container shook. I was laying down on a cot in the back along with my father. Mes suddenly popped up in the air in front of me.

User Mittens,’ Mes said with a grin as they held a large plate of food and picking various pieces off of it and eating them. ‘You did a really good job. Lots of killing. Call up Combat Log, it is a subsection of the Interface like the Store.’

‘Combat log,’ I thought.

Chapter 35 – The First Quackening

“You recovered that,” my father asked quietly.

“Yes, the Apostate recovered it during our fight in the ritual room, and then I took it off his corpse. Not much blood on it thankfully. But what is it made of?” I couldn’t place the material.

“The flesh of creatures.” I almost dropped it right then.

“What?!” I asked.

“It is rare, but this is called a Ritualistic Blood Tome. Each one is custom made and incredibly rare. Also, incredibly dangerous in the ...

Chapter 465 – Day 906 – Fox Clan

I looked at the jungle in front of me. It was morning, and I was well rested. But I really didn’t want to go into a jungle zone. Rolling my head around on my shoulders, I let out a sigh as I looked at the massive trees and the plant filled underbrush.

The low visibility and the three-dimensional environment made it far worse than the tower. But they were only level 4 monsters. But it would be a massive headache, and the boss of the zone even more so. At least it wasn’t mushrooms. Ju...

Chapter 464 – Day 905 – Upgrade And Planning

I stood in the middle of the plaza. The governor brought out crystals to pay for the upgrade to level 4 which cost a million. Then there was a donation to the Emperor Michael self-improvement fund, of another ten million.

That was how much I planned to charge for an upgrade a city to level 4. Clarissa and I had discussed the price, but that was what it had come to. I had brought a letter from her to the Governor confirming everything, since Clarissa had already let him know to start sav...

Chapter 34 – The Apostate

Silver denoted the rank of a regular Apostate while gold denoted a High Apostate. All apostates were considered high priority targets. The damage and destruction they could cause was immense. No normal creature would be able to handle their dark magic and their ability to call upon the Snake Ancestral Spirit to empower themselves in a myriad of ways.

“An assassin of the Covenant Church. Stupid ducks,” the figure spat out. Their very voice seemed to grate on my hearing and soul. A sw...

Chapter 33 – Into The Depths

While I was nominally in charge, I decided to just go first to explain what I had found. I had no doubt Mousethief found out a lot more than me with his Mes given Skills.

“What about you?” I asked once I was done recounting what I had learned.

“The priest just saw some ducks with some symbols on their clothing in town. That was why he got suspicious. Asked about, and it is the Order of Seven Quacks,” I nodded at this. “Never heard of them, so probably new like you suspec...

Chapter 463 – Day 903 – Kafkaesque

The punishment for the Avatar was both simple and complex. It had taken a bit of time to set up, but Clarissa quickly got on board once I explained. I could even see the glint of joy in her eyes at the headache the Avatar had caused her.

Plates were made up that could be smeared with inked and stamped onto a piece of paper. A cheap printing press. There were over 10 plates made up in a variety of formats, with no clear label. A soldier or person being punished would be given a blank for...

Chapter 462 – Day 901 (Part 7) – Now What

I waited and nothing happened. A couple messengers nearby raced off and I waited another couple of minutes. I noted the small airship, or airboat of the Avatar descending into the city. How bold, what was she after?

Kicking off the ground with my left foot, I quickly made my way back. The tower climb had gotten me used to moving rapidly with only one foot and my right leg wasn’t responsive enough for high speed movement. Racing into the city I passed through the empty plaza and made m...

Chapter 32 – Wheat Field Village

It took a day and a half of driving once the container was put on a truck. I took the opportunity to practice balance and stretching poses while the container slightly shook as Mousethief hurtled down the highway.

That mouse was a driving menace no matter how many skills he had. It didn’t matter what he was driving, the break was just a suggestion, and the accelerator was required all the time expect when we reached our destination.

I also slowly flexed my claws. The coating was...

Chapter 31 – Dark Past

I was ready the next morning, and my father and I met up with Mousethief at the side of the building where we had left for the vault. “Okay, what happened?” he asked.

“Master Tom Cat is being stubborn,” I replied, since my father refused to answer any of my questions after the dinner.

“Journeymouse Mittens should let the past rest where it belongs,” he replied. I finished buckling in and Mousethief took off. Not even his driving could distract from my annoyance.

Captain Francis

I looked at my watch nervously as I felt my skin begin to itch. The energy in the air was increasing. I had volunteered myself for this, since I knew what Michael wanted. I had been around him enough and seen the various traps play out earlier today.

He wanted to kill the Avatar hiding up above the city. I had served in the military before this place. Then the Purgatory military against the Dragon Empire and Divine Empress. I knew Michael’s Empir...

Chapter 460 – Day 901 (Part 5) – A Crime Scene

As I stood on the balcony, I could begin to see energy twisting off in the distance. I let out a sigh. It was time for round two with the Astrologer. Well, if he wanted round 2, I would be running away. Or hobbling away.

I left the window and made my way downstairs and out the entrance. My protection detail didn’t say anything and were on high alert. I was glad they understood not to interfere or contradict my decisions. I was the strongest combatant out of all of them, even wounded. ...
