Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 655: Going back to X-Men?

As expected by Fang Mo.

The characteristics of the End Core can indeed seal the dimensional demon god to a certain extent.

At least, with no resistance from the opponent, Fang Mo sealed the entire Shoggoth Abyss into the giant sword in his hand without much effort.

After gaining the power of the abyss dimension.

The appearance of the giant sword in Fang Mo's hand underwent a drastic change.

Initially, the sword's design was very strange. The left blade was a crimson red, resembling flesh and even had some vein-like tendrils writhing on it...

As for the right blade.

It emitted an eerie and corrupt purple glow.

After Shoggoth inhabited it, the sword was evidently influenced by the power of the abyss, with an inky glow slowly emerging, breaking the boundary between crimson and decay.

It became twisted and hideous, with countless mouths and eyeballs suddenly appearing on the flesh.

Then, as if expanding outward, this flesh began to constantly erode everything around it, whether it was the virtual gold that made up the right blade or the crystalline handle... countless writhing flesh gradually enveloped and consumed these parts.

In the end.

Fang Mo was left with a pure black giant sword.

This was a giant sword without a fixed shape, the entire sword seemed like a living entity, writhing slowly, exuding an ominous aura akin to the abyss.

Fang Mo looked down at the giant sword in his hand.

To be honest, the feel of this sword was quite strange... because except for the handle and the End Core on the guard, the rest of it had a texture similar to glue, more like a flexible and sticky whip than a sword.

Holding this giant sword.

Fang Mo felt like he was grasping a constantly flowing mass of asphalt.

"Hmm..."

Feeling the strange texture in his hand, Fang Mo pondered for a moment, then suddenly swung the giant sword in the air without warning.

It was as if the sword sensed its master's thoughts.

The sword in Fang Mo's hand suddenly transformed, the originally living, glue-like blade solidified into a material between crystal and metal.

As this sword swung forward.

The entire deep space was split in half.

The vast sword aura tore through the void and mist, extending forward to a point beyond Fang Mo's sight.

"This power is quite impressive."

Seeing this scene, Fang Mo subconsciously nodded.

It seems his idea was correct, whether it was flesh or virtual gold, both materials' characteristics are very similar to Shoggoth's devouring nature. After putting it into the sword, the weapon has indeed become much more powerful.

If Fang Mo had held this weapon back then.

Even Saitama might have hesitated to approach for close combat.

After a series of tests.

Fang Mo was very satisfied with this new sword.

After much thought, he decided to use Nihilite as the engraving material for the sword, just like the previous Soul Devouring Sword with virtual gold, one devours souls, and the other forcibly lowers intelligence.

No sooner said than done.

Fang Mo immediately went to the pure white dimension.

Squatting in his villa courtyard, Fang Mo took out his workshop box and started tinkering.

With the three-colored slime crystals and gold blocks placed on the forge, soon the Nihilite components melted into a liquid and fused into the giant sword.

After this.

The sword in Fang Mo's hand underwent another transformation.

A twisted, indescribable aura began to spread around.

This was a feeling hard to put into words, but Fang Mo vaguely felt it was familiar... like Nyarlathotep and his group of good friends, forbidden, blasphemous, and absurd against common sense.

Seeing this.

Fang Mo specifically found two test subjects.

They merely glanced at the weapon and immediately collapsed, drooling on the ground, both insane and foolish.

"Ah, this..."

Seeing this, Fang Mo was obviously stunned.

It seems that the weapon, once materialized, can't be judged by the game's original settings. The abyss dimension seems to have made Nihilite's effect into an intelligence-reducing aura, with normal people losing all sanity just by looking at it.

This is a bit too powerful.

In the future, when Fang Mo swings the sword, whether the enemy can withstand it or not, they must first pass a willpower check, definitely having the essence of the Cthulhu Mythos.

"Sigh, I really want to visit the Dragon Ball world."

Thinking of this, Fang Mo couldn't help but sigh.

He had collected many books of the era, like Marvel, X-Men, Naruto, Chainsaw Man, even One Punch Man and Re:Zero, but he hadn't encountered any of the classics.

To be honest, he wasn't very interested in general worlds anymore.

He used to go there just for vacation and fun.

Now, Fang Mo was truly interested in those hopeless scenarios like Berserk or Black Bullet, where he could wreak havoc without any guilt.

Fang Mo realized he had quite a dark taste.

He especially enjoyed tormenting villains, watching their expressions change from disdain to disbelief... it was like ripping off an alarm bell from a female ghost, slapping her twice, then pressing her down hard, just thinking about it was fun.

Besides the aforementioned scenarios.

Fang Mo was also very keen to visit the Dragon Ball world.

On one hand, it's due to childhood nostalgia; on the other hand, the setting over there does attract him somewhat. The Dragon Ball wishes and all that—moreover, the main theme over there is fighting, which might suit him quite well, right?

"How about going back to explore the map later?"

With this thought in mind.

Fang Mo set his subsequent goals.

After all, Steve could handle the mapping alone... As for him, he could either sit outside and watch Alex build machines when he's free, or go upstairs to the second floor to make children with Xiao Yao when he's busy. Both wouldn't be delayed.

"It's a pity I can't bring Ah Xue over to live with us."

Raising his head to glance at the distant villa, Fang Mo suddenly thought of his lovely little maid and shook his head regretfully.

Yes, Fang Mo had tried more than once.

But the rules of the Minecraft world are strange; no matter what, real-life beings cannot enter it.

Even though Fang Mo is now the server owner in the Minecraft world and a dimensional demon god in the pure white world, he still cannot bring Ah Xue into the Minecraft world. She can only stay in the pure white world's villa, whereas his partner Xiao Yao has no such issues and can roam anywhere.

"..."

Thinking about it for a while.

Fang Mo decided to visit Ah Xue first.

After all, he has deep feelings for this little maid, who had accompanied him for a long time before Xiao Yao came along.

Fang Mo expressed that both the palm and the back of his hand are flesh, and he couldn't let go of either.

He decided to act immediately.

With a thought, Fang Mo pulled off a small sticky blob from the dark sword, then put away the great sword and the workshop chest together.

Soon, the sticky blob in Fang Mo's hand twisted and transformed into a small black cat with a very courteous hat, which first licked its paws and then obediently squatted on his shoulder. Fang Mo himself walked through the courtyard, pushed open the villa door, and walked in.

However, as soon as he pushed open the villa door.

Fang Mo suddenly smelled an unusually enticing aroma and was taken aback by the scene before him.

Sounds were coming from the kitchen, indicating that Ah Xue was cooking. But what stunned Fang Mo wasn't this, it was the large group of people sitting at the dining table.

People like Ancient One, Boros.

And Dr. Genus with a large group of his agents.

At this moment, all of them were in the same posture, with an empty plate in front of them, holding knives and forks like Teletubbies waiting for a meal, staring intently at the kitchen.

"What the heck?"

Fang Mo was dumbfounded: "What is going on here?"

"Hmm?"

Boros looked up and, upon seeing Fang Mo, became excited: "Fang Mo, you're back! I heard from this sorcerer about your previous matters... So, who is stronger, me or Saitama? Do you want to spar with me later?"

"Hold on a second."

Fang Mo raised his hand to stop Boros.

Then, he turned to the dazed Dr. Genus and asked, a bit bewildered: "Why are you here?"

"Huh?"

Dr. Genus, as if waking up from a sleep, said in a daze: "... Is it time to eat?"

"Apologies, Mr. Fang Mo."

The armored gorilla beside them quickly explained: "The doctor hasn't rested since arriving in this world and has been continuously doing research. He might not be very rational right now."

"The issue isn't about rationality."

Fang Mo directly rebutted: "I'm asking why you are here. Didn't I leave the One Punch... that world?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Fang Mo's question, the armored gorilla scratched his head inexplicably: "But we never left here."

"Never left?"

Fang Mo asked.

"Yes."

The armored gorilla nodded and explained: "That day you came to the doctor, asking if he would like to leave that world with you. The doctor later discussed it with us, and after our discussion, we unanimously decided it was best to follow you."

"The doctor had already brought all his research materials with him during the banquet that night."

On the other side, the earthen dragon whispered softly: "The doctor originally intended to tell you these things, but you always seemed busy. Later, the doctor had a bit too much to drink and started wandering around. By the time we managed to catch him, you were already gone."

"That's about it," nodded the armored gorilla. "We asked Miss Ah Xue about your whereabouts. She said you had temporarily gone to another dimension and even she couldn't contact you."

"So you all..." Fang Mo scratched the back of his head instinctively upon hearing this.

"So we came to enjoy Miss Ah Xue's cooking," the pale sea maiden, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke. Despite her calm expression, her tone was quite agreeable: "Miss Ah Xue's cooking is really delicious."

"Ugh..."

After hearing their explanation, Fang Mo didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fortunately, Ah Xue in the kitchen heard the commotion and peeked out, seeing Fang Mo standing at the door.

"Master?"

Ah Xue seemed a bit surprised: "Why have you come back?"

"Oh, I just happened to pass by and thought I'd drop in to see you."

Fang Mo waved his hand, and Shoggoth jumped to the ground and ran affectionately toward Ah Xue: "Chip! Chip!"

"Good boy."

Ah Xue picked up Shoggoth and patted its head: "Would you like to eat something before you leave? By the way, where is Madam Xiao Yao?"

"She's working on machines..."

Fang Mo sighed and facepalmed.

"Pfft."

Ah Xue chuckled but quickly turned around and brought out another set of dishes and chopsticks: "Then Master, please join us. I've made beef stew with radishes today."

"Alright, that's fine."

Since he was already there, Fang Mo didn't refuse.

After all, there was no need to worry about Xiao Yao; she could handle being alone for a month. So Fang Mo sat at the dining table, waiting for the meal.

The meal didn't take long.

After eating, Fang Mo quickly left the pure white space-time.

Returning to the MC world, Xiao Yao was indeed still working on machines. She only greeted Fang Mo briefly before immersing herself in her work again.

As for Fang Mo, he began upgrading his weapons again.

Following the process for the Dark Sword, Fang Mo refurbished his Fire Sword and Light Sword.

As for the remaining weapons, Fang Mo sorted and discarded some, while the rest also got refurbished, including the Pochi Sword.

Fang Mo initially didn't want to lock up this mischievous creature, but it had been disobedient lately, running around recklessly. So, he decided to lock it up for a while to teach it a lesson.

Things could have ended here.

But coincidentally, while flipping through the Tinker's Manual, Fang Mo came across a page on mod interaction enhancements, including collaborations with GregTech... featuring vacuum deep freezing, lapis lazuli arrays, magical modification, and electrogenesis enhancements.

Among these, Fang Mo noticed an enhancement called "Dogecoin."

"Hmm?"

Fang Mo stared at this enhancement, feeling an inexplicable attraction. He was curious about how this enhancement would manifest in reality.

With this in mind, Fang Mo specifically asked Xiao Yao about it.

Luckily, she had been working hard and had nearly all the materials and machines required for these enhancements.

Soon enough, Fang Mo gathered a bunch of materials and crafted a new weapon. You could call it Pochi's kennel, but unlike the broad swords Fang Mo usually used, this time he made a katana, as Pochi's kennel.

"So, should we find a place to test it?" Fang Mo asked Xiao Yao excitedly after completing the katana.

"Where to test it?" she asked indifferently.

"How about a world?" Fang Mo suggested after thinking for a moment. "Since you're busy here, I find it quite boring to stay. Why not find a world to explore for a while..."

"If you're bored, you can help me mine."

Hearing this, Xiaoyao replied directly.

"Steve can handle the mining; my main body is still idle," Fang Mo waved his hand dismissively. But as he said this, he suddenly froze, then thoughtfully looked back at the wooden house behind him: "...hmm?"

"Stop right there."

Seeing Fang Mo's actions, Alex immediately stepped forward to stop his mischievous thoughts: "You should hurry and find a world to test your weapon... Didn't you say you haven't seen Uncle Wolf in a long time?"

"I think the X-Men world sounds good."
