Chapter 372 – Cat Dad Will Soon Face an Antagonist?
Another day went by. However, Hongjun and his forces remained in Yeet City's vicinity due to the changes in their ga status and attributes. All ex-sages and ex-deities focused on cultivating instead of going to war with the Slave Dungeon.
Because of Hongjun's mandate domain abilities and his unique providence Qi, his subordinates rapidly advanced by five small stages at the minimum. Many mortals advanced to the immortal tier while many immortals at level 9999 managed to ascend and hit the five digits.
The sa also applied to Hiiro, who had been recuperated in the cathedral of the Pangu Church. He suddenly received a consolation ssage from Pangu and a new blessing – the Antagonist Class! Like the others, Hiiro spent his ti learning new tricks.
Unfortunately, the new class ca with poison. As nobody had tested this class before, it was bound to have severe side effects.
It only took 24 hours for the side effects to appear.
BOOM!
While everybody was busy getting used to their new powers, a massive explosion erupted from the cathedral. The entire building collapsed, and a certain soone jumped out.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!"
Inside Hiiro's pocket dantian, his consciousness was split into two, and he lost control of the other one. It quickly transford into a heart demon and attempted to take control of his real body.
Hongjun also had a similar problem. Because of the new class, one of his consciousness in his pocket dantian rebelled. He managed to suppress the rebelling consciousness, but the dark side of himself always self-resurrected and mocked him.
"I am you. You are . You can't kill . If you truly want to kill , you have to kill yourself first!"
Both Hiiro and Hongjun were haunted. Aside from the mockery, the sa voice tempted them.
"Do not resist. Unleash your desire. What is it that you desire the most?"
The consciousness flooded their minds with old mory of their dark past. Hiiro was reminded of the miserable life in his country and the ghosts of Solomon. Hongjun also had a flashback of his past struggle against Mu-Nyang and his Cathulhu Race.
Anger swelled in their heart. As their mind was unstable, their Qi stopped following their orders. As a result, their Qi flowed backward, threatening to harm them. But after a while, the muscle mory took over. Their cells itched for a fight, and their Qi circulation sped up as if they were in the middle of combat.
Hiiro got it worse. His skin reddened as his blood boiled. He wished to kill soone to vent his pending anger and frustration.
Without a way to relieve his anger, Hiiro turned toward the north, where he had lost to Shepherd. Thinking of the retainer's face, Hiiro's evil consciousness brought back the hazy mory to his mind and made it vivid for him to see.
As if Hiiro had a photographic mory, the face and the na indicator of Shepherd appeared like a picture. Hiiro noticed the level and the title of Shepherd. Furthermore, he could review their brief fight and check the ssages from the system, which he had ignored during combat.
Hiiro read through everything. Then, he bellowed.
"SHEPHERD!!"
Drunk in rage and impulse, Hiiro's heart demon stole the body and sealed the true consciousness in the depths of his mind. Then, the heart demon gradually rged with the true consciousness as they were originally one.
The rage quickly subsided as the other personality took over.
.
anwhile, Hongjun's ntal strength was a lot stronger, and he didn't have the protagonist's fate complications. He easily subdued and dispersed the evil thoughts. Then, he stood up and gazed at Hiiro, whose aura and Qi underwent a transformation.
The Japanese hero's aura drastically changed. From a hopeful, warm, and charming light, it beca warped and grey. Gradually, it turned darker and would soon beco cold black.
Despite the changes, Hiiro's levels and cultivation base skyrocketed. He reached level 3,000… 3,200… 3,400… and kept rising.
Hongjun narrowed his eyes as he could guess what had happened to the guy. After getting the answer, he then glanced at the new ga window, which provided a new feature that Pangu had prepared for them. It showed the tutorial explanation.
.
Antagonist nu
Antagonists aren't always evildoers or villains. They simply defy fates and move the world according to their beliefs. Without them, the story can beco stagnant or stale without a purpose for the protagonist to grow or react to any developnt. They drive the story forward or provide questions for the protagonist to answer.
For the efforts you invested to get closer to your ideal, you deserve every right to receive a push so that the world understands your hard work. This nu can greatly help you as an antagonist. It reveals the list of all protagonists in this era and surviving protagonists of the old, including their goals, strength, and weaknesses.

Aside from Sima Yi and Chase's information, the other protagonists' detail was shown, including their current location. Hongjun got a few ideas on how he could pull a few of them to the Pangu Faction while so were impossible to recruit.
Hongjun read through the present protagonist list and found the marked man and his portrait.
However, most of his information was hidden. Judging from the censorship atheistic, it was obvious who did it.

.
"How absurd."
Hongjun raised his brow as he glanced at the true age. From his point of view, the censorship was unnecessary.
What attracted Hongjun the most was the button under the portrait of Xiaomao and the other protagonists.
[Rivalry Mode]
[Fateful Encounter]
Interested, Hongjun pressed the [?] button to learn more.
.
Rivalry Mode
A protagonist usually gets in the way of an antagonist one way or another, directly or indirectly. However, because of the hindrance, an antagonist can have a developnt.
By pressing the button, you will establish a rivalry with one of the protagonists you designated. When you have a protagonist rival, you get stronger by inflicting direct or indirect harm to the designated protagonist and his/her friends, ntors, family, or love interests. In summary, you get instant power-ups from the feature if you manage to inflict damage upon your rival or their allies.
.
Fateful Encounter
Unlike the rivalry feature, this option is only enabled if you possess at least one or more heavenly fate crystals in your soul. By having the crystal, you may compete to steal the designated target's title as a protagonist!
Upon turning on this button, your fate and the designated target's fate will intertwine without fail. A clock will appear in your antagonist nu. Both of you will face each other in a duel, and you two will be forced to fight to the death when the clock counts down to zero. The winner takes the loser's heavenly fate crystals, power, title, spouses, and all items in their possession!
Be warned! When you use this feature, the designated protagonist's luck will drastically increase, and they will experience at least one or more fortuitous encounter before they face you! You're not the only one with the ti to prepare. They will be ready for the decisive battle as well.
.
.
Hongjun smirked. He found these features amusing.
Although Hongjun wanted to test the water with the rivalry feature first, he couldn't resist the temptation of the Fateful Encounter Mode.
Without hesitation, Hongjun reached out to press the Fateful Encounter button under Xiaomao's portrait. Then, he pressed it.
BZZZ
"Hmm?"
The button turned grey before Hongjun could press it. Then, he received a feedback ssage.
"…"
Hongjun narrowed his eyes, after which he turned to Hiiro, believing that he might be the culprit.
.
Hiiro managed to calm down as his heart demon completely rged with him. He also noticed the new features.
However, Hiiro neither established a rivalry nor designated Xiaomao as a target. Instead, he stared at his portrait among the protagonists.
He didn't know what encouraged or drove him. He pressed the Fateful Encounter button under Shepherd's portrait.
DING
TICK-TICK-TICK
A digital clock appeared in Hiiro's antagonist nu, but the other options and features were locked. Moreover, he could no longer access the protagonist feature.
The tir was 72 hours!
It was short!
Hiiro's sclera turned dark. He grinned, looking forward to the rematch.
"I will not lose! For my freedom, for my family, for my country, you will die, Shepherd!"
.
.
"Not him?"
Hongjun was puzzled. He thought that Hiiro chose Xiaomao, but Hiiro clearly uttered that he picked Shepherd.
"If it's not him, then, who stole my prey!?"
