Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 615: Brown Magic is a Good Magic

After resolving the Dragon-level monster Gouketsu with a single punch, the rest was much easier.

As the remaining monsters clumsily rose from the ground and witnessed the scene reminiscent of a natural disaster, they were instantly dumbstruck.

To be honest, they could hardly believe the sight before their eyes.

You see, in the eyes of these fighters, their own strength was not even in the same dimension as Gouketsu. The opponent not only defeated the talented fighter Suiryu with a single blow but was also said to be the first champion of the Mixed Martial Arts Tournament... Just the aura emitted by Gouketsu was enough to suppress them, making them unable to even move.

Yet such a powerful Dragon-level monster was obliterated by a newly advanced S-class hero, leaving nothing but dust...

That even Gouketsu was no match for this hero.

Could they still survive?

Thinking of this, the group of fighter monsters immediately panicked, especially when they saw Fang Mo suddenly turn his head towards them, his eyes emitting a strange glow; they felt like lost souls.

"Wait... Wait! Don't kill me!"

"Yes, we are all martial artists, not monsters!"

Hearing someone else speak up, the rest of the monsters quickly reacted, each starting to speak: "You see, we still have our rationality... This proves we are still human, it's just that our appearances have changed!"

"Yes, yes! It's all because the Hero Association's support was too slow... We were forced to change into this!"

"You, as a hero, cannot kill us; we are still human. Instead, it's your negligence that allowed us to be coerced into consuming that thing and becoming monsters; you are responsible for us!"

"Yes! You have to take responsibility for us!"

At this moment, these people even began to accuse Fang Mo. Some of the audience, who hadn't yet managed to escape, couldn't help but show expressions of disgust.

They had just witnessed it themselves; it was these people who voluntarily rushed to consume the monster cells. The terrifying monster Hero had personally said that monster cells could only transform someone into a monster if consumed willingly; forcing it into one's mouth was ineffective, so indeed, these fighters had succumbed to temptation and fell from grace.

"God, Priest!"

Thinking this, someone couldn't help it and peeked from behind a chair and shouted: "Don't listen to them, these cowardly scum chose to become monsters voluntarily!"

"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes."

Perhaps seeing that even the strongest monster was quickly eliminated gave them courage, soon another person emerged from a corner, indignantly saying: "Not only did they voluntarily consume the monster cells, but they also deliberately killed other martial artists to vent their anger... Priest, you must not let them go!"

"What… What!?"

Seeing someone expose them, the monsters began to panic: "You bastards dare…"

Before they could finish their sentence.

Fang Mo had already made his move.

In a blink, he appeared between two monsters and with one hand grabbed one monster's head, smashing their heads together with a forceful blow: "Mighty Splitting Skull."

A crunching sound followed, and the two monsters' heads burst open like watermelons.

Immediately after, the headless bodies collapsed.

Seeing this, the remaining monsters felt a chill in their hearts and instinctively thought to flee.

But just then, a massive figure leaped high into the air and then came crashing down towards Fang Mo.

"Is… Is that Bakuzan!?"

Seeing a fellow dare to challenge the dignity of an S-class hero, these fighter monsters seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Good, if it's Bakuzan, maybe there's hope."

Indeed, this guy was clearly Bakuzan. He had seen Gouketsu being killed earlier, but honestly, he didn't care, for now, power was continuously surging within him, intoxicating him with such strength that even talents like Suiryu were under his feet; what would an S-class hero amount to?

With a punch that turned Gouketsu to debris, Bakuzan was sure he could do it too.

"Ha ha ha, hero, take this Dark Hell Assassination Art!"

With that thought, Bakuzan laughed more wildly, indeed believing he, Bakuzan, was the god destined to rule the world. With a thought, he swung his palm downwards: "Death Hand…"

But before Bakuzan could finish.

Fang Mo suddenly smiled, and then suddenly leaped into the air.

His speed was many times faster than Bakuzan's; before Bakuzan could react, Fang Mo had already grabbed his neck with one hand, spun him 360 degrees in mid-air like dunking a basketball, and smashed him onto the group of monsters below.

"No…"

The monsters didn't even see Fang Mo's movements clearly; in their last moment of consciousness, they saw the rapidly enlarging figure of Bakuzan.

As the entire fighting arena shook like an earthquake, all the monsters were dealt with.

"Hmm... Do I get points for this?"

After the monsters were eliminated, Fang Mo, still standing in place, nodded subconsciously.

Indeed, he was just testing the judgment of the Iron Fist module, and the results proved that the system's logic was quite lenient. Any skill he executed with his own hands would essentially earn experience, even if other abilities assisted, like the Void Ring, which didn't affect the judgment.

However, the experience given by these mutated monsters was indeed very little.

Two of them only provided 3 points, and another just 1 point, which felt almost like a joke. Gouketsu's crow monster apprentice had 5 points of experience.

Though the fighter monsters were a bit weak.

But what surprised Fang Mo was that Bakuzan's experience was unexpectedly high, amounting to 65 points. Although it wasn't as much as Gouketsu's, it was still quite decent.

If he followed the routine of endlessly reviving it... 65 points were enough to farm a bit.

"Did we win?"

Seeing that all the monsters at the scene were cleared, the ordinary people around also breathed a sigh of relief: "With such a fearsome monster not being a match for Priest, having such a hero is truly wonderful…"

"Heh heh, I knew Priest could defeat the monsters."

With the crisis averted, someone immediately became triumphant, running towards Fang Mo with a fan sign: "Priest, I am your fan, a believer in the Original God."

"Mmm, you are all good children of God."

Fang Mo, feeling quite good about this round of experience farming, also cheerfully greeted the fans: "Come on, let me bless you all with the Original God's favor, just stand properly."

Hearing about the blessing, the crowd immediately got excited.

Even those who were originally hiding in corners now emerged, and suddenly there were dozens more people in the arena. It's really surprising how brave they were, not fleeing immediately after such an event.

But Fang Mo didn't bother to comment on that.

After all, the ordinary people in this world have always been like this.

He took out a crucifix from his pocket and then the Abyssal Book, his expression suddenly turning foolish, and then said, "Amen."

"Goodness... a meme replica, right?"

Xiao Yao, seeing this, couldn't help but cover her face.

As Fang Mo uttered "Amen," a brilliant white light burst forth from his body, enveloping the entire fighting arena.

Everyone felt their vision grow brighter, the white light obscuring everything in view, and at last, the words 'Original God' slowly appeared in their vision, followed by an unprecedented sense of clarity, as if a hot spring flowed through their hearts, making everyone extremely comfortable.

"Ah~"

In a moment, all the ordinary people couldn't help but moan softly.

"...So what's up with this Original God meme?" Xiao Yao, seeing Fang Mo's actions, held back a belly full of complaints: "What has Original God done to you?"

"Ah, you don't understand. I'm giving them the blessing of the Original God for their own good."

Facing Xiao Yao's questioning, Fang Mo just confidently smiled: "When they later make some brain-shrinking statements, others will think it's the Church of the Original God that made them this way, not that they were inherently brain-deficient."

"...Fine."

Xiao Yao held back for a while but could only let out such a sigh.

"Alright, that's a wrap!"

While everyone was still immersed in the moment, Fang Mo casually threw a few golden nuggets towards the distance, then called out to his companion: "Let's go, Xiao Yao."

"What about Bakuzan?"

Xiao Yao asked.

"He's been smashed into a mush, let's leave it for now," Fang Mo waved his hand and said, "We'll just resurrect him later with Abyssal magic."

"Oh, alright then."

Hearing this, Xiao Yao nodded.

"Come, hold on to me." Seeing Xiao Yao nod, Fang Mo pulled her into his arms, and although she didn't resist much, her small body stiffened slightly, and her eyes reflexively closed.

The next second, Fang Mo activated Ender Teleportation, a flash of dark light, and the two were back at the villa.

"Alright, we're back."

After returning to the villa, Fang Mo patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder: "Get down."

"..."

Xiao Yao looked up and realized her position had changed. They had been standing, but now Fang Mo was sitting on the sofa, and she was inexplicably straddling him face-to-face. Seeing this, she jumped up as if electrified.

"What kind of perverted teleportation is this?" she blushed slightly.

"Ah?"

Fang Mo scratched his head, puzzled: "It's just Ender Teleportation… using the Brown Magic properties of Tinker's Soul, haven't you read the Tinker's Compendium?"

"But why this position?"

She asked.

"Oh, because I hid the Ender Stick on the sofa."

Fang Mo simply explained: "I only set two teleport points in this villa, one is the sofa, the other is the toilet— specifically, the toilet brush in the downstairs bathroom. Its handle is made of Ender bars. If you think this teleport point isn't good, next time I'll just take you back to the toilet."

Xiao Yao thought about that scenario for a moment, then covered her face with a frown of black lines.

"No, let's not..."

After this little episode.

The two quickly got busy with their respective tasks.

Currently, with the ongoing monster attacks in various cities causing national panic, everyone was in emergency evacuation mode, resulting in chaos everywhere.

Back in Fang Mo's villa, Doctor Genus had returned to the Tower of Babel, commanding his operatives in executing justice across various locations. The Ancient One's whereabouts were unknown, and even the Mumen Rider had left, reportedly cycling around to protect civilians according to Sonic.

Given the situation, the villa was relatively quiet.

Sonic was sweeping the floors while Ah Xue was busy preparing dinner, dealing with various ingredients.

Fang Mo, after checking the current time, began to tinker with several reward items he had accumulated, such as a pale pink Life Stone. He felt there was something special about it.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yao was setting up an Abyssal Altar in the yard, preparing to study how to streamline the process of farming Bakuzan. Her determination was piqued especially after seeing how easily Fang Mo had handled the powerful Gouketsu, which made her decline Fang Mo's offer to help, preferring to tackle the challenge alone.

However, just as Fang Mo was getting into his research, the Hero Association sent another summoning message.

This was the second time he was being called upon, but this time it wasn't from the Z City branch but directly from the headquarters in A City.

After the invasion by Boros, A City had been transformed into a fortress city designed specifically to fend off monster attacks.

According to the Hero Association, this summons wasn't about the kidnapped child they had mentioned before; the situation had escalated significantly. Members of the Monster Association had not only invaded the Hero Association headquarters but had also managed to kill several high-ranking officials.

Although the monster responsible was promptly killed by Tatsumaki, the Hero Association was clearly incensed by the audacity of the Monster Association.

Fang Mo pondered for a moment and decided to head over to A City to assess the situation himself.

After all, as mentioned before, the son of one of the association's sponsors had been kidnapped by monsters. Initially, Fang Mo had been too preoccupied to intervene.

But now, with his immediate tasks resolved and considering he was a priest, it wouldn't be right not to aid a child in peril. Furthermore, his encounter with Bakuzan had sparked some inspiration that might just save the child's life.
