Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 684: Death

It was evident that Fang Mo had no intention of letting Stryker's family off the hook.

Even if Stryker finished eating the bowl of iron particle noodles, Fang Mo would accuse him of having eaten two bowls without paying and then find an excuse to make a hole in his stomach.

At the same time.

Above a lake not far from the Alkali Dam.

Magneto Erik was nervously controlling the iron golem beneath him, quickly fleeing with a group of people.

The others were relatively better off, such as Nightcrawler, Darwin, or Mystique, who were all riding on the iron golems.

Even Charles had a wheelchair to sit in.

But Logan was in a particularly miserable situation.

Given that his entire skeleton was made of adamantium, he was the only one Erik could manipulate at will. Pushed by the magnetic field, he was flying chaotically through the air, skimming the lake's surface at high speed, the wind in his face making it almost impossible for him to keep his eyes open.

Eventually, the air currents around Logan even parted the lake water, leaving a huge trail on the surface.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Logan couldn't take it anymore and shouted, despite the wind blasting into his mouth, "Isn't this distance enough already? Stop now!"

"Stop?"

Magneto merely glanced at Logan, showing no intention of stopping, "Logan, do you really know what the consequences of stopping are? Or do you think that as a god, his attack range is only this limited?"

"This limited?"

Logan turned to look behind him.

Though they referred to it as Alkali Lake, the surrounding natural environment was also vast.

Besides the enormous Alkali Lake in the center.

The area was surrounded on three sides by towering mountain ranges, dotted with cold-resistant vegetation like spruce. Two of the peaks were almost touching the sky, their tops covered in snow year-round.

And the so-called Alkali Lake.

Was formed from the meltwater of these glaciers.

"…"

To be honest, Logan was somewhat confused.

In his mind, if Fang Mo went mad, he could easily destroy the dam, causing Alkali Lake to flood downstream, which was the limit of his imagination.

But beyond that.

Logan couldn't fathom it.

Having lost so many memories, he had just begun to learn about his own past, and the part about Fang Mo... unfortunately, he hadn't recalled.

As Logan pondered these chaotic thoughts.

Mystique suddenly spoke.

"To be honest."

Raven sighed and said, "If I had known that Stryker's subordinate would anger him, I would have taken care of that guy earlier…"

"Fang Mo has been gone for decades; no one knows how powerful he is now."

This time it was Magneto who spoke, "Decades ago, Sebastian absorbed the power of an entire nuclear reactor, yet in front of him, he was like a newborn baby, beaten to the ground."

"Do you know how my abilities have evolved?"

At this point, Darwin, who had been silent, finally couldn't hold back. He looked up at everyone and said, "I've evolved the ability to survive in a vacuum… do you know what that means?"

"You mean…"

Erik's face turned a bit grim.

"He can destroy entire planets."

Charles, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said in a deep voice, "Not just the extermination of humanity, but the destruction of this planet along with us..."

"What?"

Logan was clearly baffled upon hearing this. It was obvious that they were discussing Fang Mo, but… was this guy really that outrageous? Could a mutant possess such power?

As everyone was discussing this.

Without warning, Charles suddenly seemed to sense something: "Not good! Erik… run!"

And with Charles's words.

Everyone suddenly felt as if their chests had been struck by a heavy hammer.

Logan instinctively turned his head, sensing something, and what he saw left him dumbfounded.

The massive dam blocking Lake Alkali suddenly began to burst outward rapidly.

It was as if something was pressing against the entire structure from the inside. The concrete shell, the steel framework, and the massive construction machinery, everything expanded and shattered outward like an overinflated balloon.

And at the moment the dam exploded.

A visibly massive spherical force field began to expand rapidly.

It was like a nuclear explosion, with a semi-transparent spherical shockwave compressing everything around it.

Everything, be it air or water, was pushed outward. The debris from the dam was torn apart by a colossal force, turning into dust scattered everywhere.

As for the water gushing out of the lake, it was lifted by the force, transforming into waves hundreds of meters high, rolling in all directions.

Even the surrounding mountains began to collapse under this destructive power, with countless rocks and soil being crushed. They didn't even have time to be thrown into the air before their kinetic energy converted into immense heat, vaporizing instantly.

"…"

Erik clearly saw this scene too.

At that moment, he was almost mesmerized by Fang Mo's god-like power.

He himself was an Omega-level mutant, capable of tearing down a building with his bare hands or lifting a suspension bridge.

But to exhibit such world-ending power like Fang Mo… Erik felt he was far inferior, not even one percent of Fang Mo's strength. Otherwise, he would have wiped out all ordinary humans long ago and created a world solely for mutants.

"Erik!"

Just as Erik was entranced.

Charles called out again, snapping him back to reality.

Without any unnecessary words, Erik unleashed his full power, and in an instant, the group flew straight toward the distance like a bolt of lightning.

Fortunately, Erik was indeed fast enough.

After a frantic escape, they managed to barely avoid the aftershock.

When they turned back to look, there was no sign of the Alkali Dam, nor even Lake Alkali itself.

Apart from a few shattered mountain peaks.

All they saw was an enormous, seemingly bottomless crater.

"Holy crap..."

Logan stared at the crater in astonishment. At this moment, his brain began to ache as if some old memories were surfacing, making him more deeply understand what kind of entity this self-proclaimed Wade really was.

But let's set them aside for now.

The scene shifts back to the interior of the Alkali Dam… or rather, the crater.

At this moment, Fang Mo was floating at the center of the crater, looking down at Jason with great interest.

Yes, even though the super Shinra Tensei had just obliterated the entire lake, Jason was surprisingly still alive, which slightly exceeded Fang Mo's expectations.

Fang Mo was well aware of the effects of the golden apple.

An ordinary golden apple could push a human beyond their limits, similar to receiving the super-soldier serum, making them a mini version of Captain America.

As for the enchanted golden apple.

This was a truly mythical item, even the goddess Frigga from Asgard acknowledged it as a sacred relic.

When an ordinary person ate an enchanted golden apple, their physical qualities could reach the standards of Asgardian gods. However, it's worth noting that this refers to the level of Thor, not the weaker Loki.

Thor's physical strength was indeed formidable.

In "Avengers: Infinity War," before he became a beer-loving man, he could even withstand the rays of a neutron star… well, only for a short while, though.

But strong as he was, Fang Mo didn't think Thor could withstand this Ultra Shinra Tensei.

To be honest, with just this one Ultra Shinra Tensei, if he exerted a bit more force, he could level Asgard. Even Hela couldn't withstand it; why would Thor be able to?

Yet, despite its tremendous power, Jason managed to withstand it. What kind of prodigy is this?

Fang Mo suggested that Jason stop playing with illusions and start practicing physical techniques. If he learned the Eight Gates, wouldn't he kick himself to death?

"Emmm..."

Looking at Jason lying in the crater with a face full of pain, Fang Mo rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Could it be the effect of that thing?"

The thing Fang Mo mentioned was what he had last stuffed into Jason's stomach.

It was a pink diamond-shaped gem called the 'Eternal Life Gem,' which he had accidentally obtained during a previous draw.

To be honest, Fang Mo hadn't figured out what it really did, nor did he know which module it came from. But judging by its name, he guessed it might be some kind of healing or regenerative item, like the healing magatama from the bamboo module.

However, calling it a healing or regenerative item was inaccurate.

When Fang Mo tested the stone, it didn't go smoothly at all. He tried wearing it himself, but even when injured, it didn't restore his health, making it seem like a useless trinket.

Later, Fang Mo pondered that it was called the Eternal Life Gem, not the Healing Stone. So, maybe its function was immortality, not healing, meaning it might have a health-locking effect, similar to the ultimate move of Tryndamere.

But testing it on himself wasn't an option for Fang Mo. If he actually died, it would be a big loss, even though MC had enabled death without item loss. Who wants to die anyway?

Because of this, Fang Mo used Jason as a test subject.

Unexpectedly, Jason didn't die. Could this mean his guess was correct?

Thinking of this, Fang Mo decided to test it again.

Without hesitation, he pointed down with one hand, and a white beam of light shot out from his fingertip, accurately hitting Jason's forehead.

Even the Asgardian physique couldn't withstand the light's compressed power from Ego. Jason didn't even have time to react before his head exploded like a watermelon, brain matter splattering everywhere.

Fang Mo wasn't worried about really killing Jason.

With the dark resurrection and time reversal rituals in his hands, he could revive Jason thousands of times without a problem.

But for now, verifying his hypothesis was more important.

Just after Fang Mo blasted Jason's head, his headless body began to twitch.

Countless flesh buds started growing from his neck, followed by bones, flesh, and skin. In less than a few seconds, Jason had regrown a head, almost identical to before he died.

Even his gaze towards Fang Mo became more fearful, as if he was on the verge of madness.

This indicated that Jason retained his memories from before his death, making him even more afraid of Fang Mo.

"Damn, it really can revive?"

Seeing Jason come back to life, Fang Mo was genuinely surprised.

This time, he hadn't used any dark arts, and Jason hadn't regenerated due to his physique. With his head gone, he was definitely dead. So, Jason had truly been revived by the power of the Eternal Life Gem.

Witnessing this, Fang Mo lifted his hand again, unwilling to give in.

This time, he used the power of the Void Ring. A massive gravitational force began collapsing towards Jason's position. Amidst the horrific sounds of blood splattering, Jason disappeared, leaving only a thumb-sized black sphere.

Fang Mo waved his hand again.

The flames of Laevatein erupted, and the intense heat of tens of thousands of degrees incinerated everything below, vaporizing Jason's remains, leaving not even ashes.

But in the next second, a small twisted flesh bud appeared in the void.

The flesh bud quickly grew and regenerated, eventually forming a complete Jason again.

"Damn… it even defies the law of conservation of mass?"

Seeing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but exclaim, "Is the Eternal Life Gem really this powerful?"
