"If this snap fails, it's going to be troublesome…"
Fang Mo was organizing a bunch of things in his storage space, also sighing with a bit of a headache, "I always feel like the power of the Infinity Stones is somewhat lacking. Should I try to snatch back the Hogyoku first?"
To tell the truth.
Fang Mo actually had some fondness for Bleach.
Mainly because the Bleach anime came out early, so it was essentially part of his childhood memories, and it's normal to have a bit of extra affection due to this.
For this reason, Fang Mo had not overly disrupted the storyline there before, at most, he had gone through the Soul Society beating them up one by one without turning on a slaughtering aura or anything.
But the situation has changed now.
Although this was part of Fang Mo's childhood memories, his only desire now was essentially to snap his fingers and make a wish, so it was impossible to stop him with just a bit of sentimental value.
"Hmm... Let Steve run through the map again."
Thinking over it, Fang Mo's mind stirred, and he once again sent Steve wandering around.
The Dimensional Door module he had newly unlocked was actually quite rich. After loading this module, the main world would randomly refresh some doors leading to other-dimensional labyrinths. If explored seriously, one could find dungeon chests and then obtain the Book of Ages.
Fang Mo really wanted to get more Books of Ages now.
Of course, this was mainly for the wishing mechanism, as there were some worlds Fang Mo didn't particularly want to visit.
Like the Dragon Ball world, for example, which was also part of his childhood memories, but the problem was that the combat system there was indeed a bit strange. Goku had become a Super Saiyan capable of exploding stars, yet he died of a heart disease... What kind of logic is that?
"Let me think, aside from Fate and Dragon Ball... What other worlds have a wishing mechanism?"
While controlling Steve to run the map alone, Fang Mo calmly lay on his bed thinking, "Hmm, the best option would definitely be child-oriented worlds, because they primarily focus on being unreasonable, like the Doraemon's What if phone booth, Jirachi in Pokémon, and Aladdin's lamp..."
"Besides these, would the Shikon Jewel count? Or the Yuko Ichihara Dimension Witch? What about that round-faced cute cat Kyubey?"
Fang Mo stroked his chin; he had only watched these anime and wasn't clear on the specific logic inside them: "Speaking of which... If I really made a wish to Kyubey, would that work? I remember it doesn't accept old guys as magical girls, right? Maybe reach a consensus?"
Just as he finished speaking, Fang Mo suddenly had a revelation.
"Hm? Found it?"
Through Steve's perspective, Fang Mo noticed the book with a golden cover inside the chest, showing a somewhat surprised expression: "This... The Dimensional Gate module really has something to it, plenty of good stuff."
While saying this, Fang Mo's mind stirred, directly checking the information on this golden-covered book.
Similar to the previous book, this one also had simple letters and numbers engraved on it, with 'Re:0' styled on it. Of course, this book's suffix had a string of Japanese characters, but it had already been translated into Chinese.
"Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World?"
Upon seeing this golden-covered book, Fang Mo was initially stunned, then instinctively frowned: "…How did I even draw this thing?"
Unlike the game at the border of the star realms, the Book of Ages that Steve found in the dungeon chest this time actually leads to an anime world, one that he had already seen, but his impression of it could be said to be quite terrible.
Re:Zero, as the name implies.
It's a story about the protagonist traveling to another world and acquiring the 'Return by Death' goldfinger.
As long as he dies, he can reset. At first glance, it seems like a pretty good ability, but the problem is that the protagonist seems a bit too pathetic, although it's said that the protagonist gradually grows over time. However, what truly disgusted Fang Mo was not the protagonist, Natsuki Subaru, but the world itself.
In fact, the worlds created by Fujimoto Tatsuki, including the Fire Punch world, are those with a very dark and oppressive overall tone, even somewhat despairing.
But Fang Mo would at most call it psychotic.
However, Tappei Nagatsuki, the author of Re:Zero... Fang Mo feels he has transcended the category of psychotic, reaching the so-called realm of a 'bright and happy big boy'.
His depicted world is filled with a subtle sense of contradiction and disharmony.
In fact, all sorts of characters in it are great, like Rem, Emilia, Puck, Beatrice, even including the protagonist Natsuki Subaru, all are kind and strong children. And then... this world begins to show its disgusting side, creating various settings, accidents, and plot twists.
In short, it's about disgusting you in every possible way, torturing the protagonist in various styles.
By exploiting the protagonist's kindness and unwillingness to give up, he is forced to constantly risk his life to stack up attempts, trying to find ways to save others.
Of course, some might say, ah, this is precisely the charm of this series, but the problem is... isn't this torture a bit too obvious? Just because the supporting character Rem's popularity unexpectedly surpassed that of the main character Emilia, then they forcefully introduce a plot twist to sideline Rem and so on.
Fang Mo couldn't help but want to curse after watching it.
It's not because of Rem, but because of this excessively disgusting cosmic will.
"Damn, if it weren't for the fact that I'm too busy, otherwise I would go there and give you a big show..." Thinking this, Fang Mo also fiercely said: "The first thing is to smash that crappy world's will into pieces."
Shaking his head, Fang Mo had Steve put away the golden-covered book and then ordered it to continue exploring in the dimensional labyrinth.
Only, this labyrinth was significantly larger compared to the previous one.
Steve had already opened over thirty dimensional doors consecutively, continuously entering darker and deeper dimensions. When Fang Mo snapped back to reality, he realized he had actually gotten lost inside.
"Lost?"
Seeing this, Fang Mo was initially stunned, then smiled and had Steve switch to a pickaxe: "I've seen plenty of mazes at dusk, you must be joking with me."
As is well known, Minecraft players don't die in labyrinths, because they never take the usual path. Thus, Fang Mo directly waved his hand, commanding Steve to start digging through the walls next to them.
Quickly, Steve dug out several pure black blocks named 'Walls of Reality'.
Before it could leave the maze, a gigantic red eye suddenly appeared in the dark void outside, followed by a fleeting flash of purple particles, plunging Steve's entire field of vision into darkness.
"Damn it!"
Upon seeing this scene, Fang Mo immediately sat up in bed: "What the hell is this?!"
However, in the next moment, Steve's vision was restored, only to find itself in a completely unfamiliar world—a boundless black land with a red giant eye occupying the entire sky, surrounded by strange black geometric-shaped monsters.
These monsters seemed to have noticed Steve too, as a crimson giant eye slowly opened in the center of their bodies.
Fang Mo, seeing this, immediately controlled Steve to activate Brown Magic, binding his pickaxe to the coordinates of his home. With this ability activated, Steve's figure instantly returned in front of Fang Mo.
Relieved to see Steve's safe return, Fang Mo quickly became curious about the geometric-shaped creature they had just encountered.
"Could it be some ghostly entity from the Dimensional Door mod?"
Fang Mo pondered, "Some kind of... punishment mechanism to prevent players from cheating by digging through walls?"
Fang Mo had only encountered the Dimensional Door mod a few times, knowing it had a pocket space and allowed entry into other dimensions for exploration. As for the monsters he had just encountered, he was indeed unsure.
If this had happened in the past.
Fang Mo might really have been at a loss on how to study these.
But now, things were different. He had figured out how to view mod configuration files from his time in the Marvel Universe. Though he couldn't mess with the drop rates, by viewing the configuration files, he could still learn about some of the mod's settings and the monsters.
Without hesitation.
Fang Mo calmed his mind, slowly sinking his consciousness into the depths of his own mind.
However, just a few minutes into reviewing the configuration files, Fang Mo couldn't help but open his eyes in surprise: "Damn! What kind of mod is this... It actually added four new dimensions to MC!?"
Indeed, through his recent browsing, Fang Mo discovered that his MC world had gained four new dimensions.
The names of these four dimensions were 'Pure White Space-Time', 'Dark Space-Time', 'Dangerous Dark Dimension Maze', and 'Otherdimensional Prison'.
The one Steve had just fallen into.
Must have been that so-called Otherdimensional Prison.
(TL: Limbo Realm)
It indeed was a punishment mechanism. Players would be transported to this prison if they died in the other three dimensions, fell into the void, or were targeted by that giant eyeball, and escape was impossible in the original way unless a specific portal was found.
Of course, it was different on a server; everyone could simply use a HOME command to return home.
The same was true for Fang Mo; Steve's Tinkers' tools possessed Brown Magic, a right-click would instantly teleport him back to town, and thanks to the Unbreakable enchantment, the tool didn't even lose durability.
"So that's how it is…"
After flipping through the configuration files, Fang Mo subconsciously nodded his head.
It must be said, the method he thought of on the spur of the moment turned out to be unexpectedly convenient for studying these strange and peculiar mods. Although he couldn't see the crafting list, he could indeed grasp the general functions, dimensions, and some items of the mod.
For example, a bold idea just popped into Fang Mo's mind right now.
He wanted to move his home into a pocket dimension.
Of course, not literally living inside the pocket dimension, because it is a closed space of no more than thirty slots. Fang Mo's current home is far too vast to fit into it.
However, that pocket dimension...
In reality, is an infinitely large, pure white void.
Under normal circumstances, the enclosed space of the pocket dimension is unbreakable, because its outermost wall has a hardness of -1, meaning it is as indestructible as bedrock in survival mode; the more you dig... no, the harder it gets.
But, as mentioned, that's only under normal circumstances.
When Fang Mo was looking at the configuration files, he also glanced at the gluttonous mod's file, which notably contained a piece of information stating 'SwallowBedrock:True'.
"Alright, let's give it a try..."
With this thought, Fang Mo grew somewhat expectant and quickly controlled Steve to jump down the mine shaft, finding a piece of bedrock to start gnawing on underground.
As a result, accompanied by a series of crunching and chewing sounds, the bedrock was actually swallowed by Steve.
"Damn, it really works?"
Seeing this, Fang Mo was stunned, then couldn't help but mutter to himself in a low voice, "As expected, each of these functional mods is perverted in its own way..."
Realizing that Steve could devour bedrock.
Fang Mo immediately had it retrieve an entrance to the pocket space, namely a personal dimensional door, and then he walked through it.
With a flash of white light.
Steve appeared in a purely white space.
The place was extremely bright, with floors, walls, and ceilings all in pure white, without a hint of block texture, and it was also very quiet, without a single sound.
Without another word, Fang Mo directly had Steve activate the gluttonous mode.
It gnawed its way through the dimensional boundary wall of the pocket space and then, using a few cobblestones, arrived outside.
This indeed was an infinitely large void world, at first glance somewhat resembling the sky island maps in servers, but unlike regular sky islands, the brightness here was full... meaning, no mobs would spawn at any time, and looking around, the entire space was pure white, not having clouds, day and night, or weather like rain, snow, or thunderstorms of the main world.
Of course, there's also the most important point.
That is, falling into the void here will not result in death, but instead, one will be teleported to the dimension of the Dimensional Prison.
"Finally, a place where I don't have to farm monsters..."
Upon witnessing this scene, Fang Mo couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Yes, although the scenery outside is nice, it's important to note that Fang Mo's mods are too numerous, so sometimes some monsters can indeed be quite annoying, such as those from the Gaia Grimoire.
Steve's Nether Gold weapons, through constant monster farming, have now reached an absurd level of damage, capable of killing the Ender Dragon and the Wither in one hit. However, the monsters from the Gaia Grimoire come with a certain damage immunity mechanism, requiring two hits to kill, which is incredibly annoying. If not for Fang Mo finding them somewhat pleasing to the eye, he would have blocked their spawn in the main world through the config files long ago.
As Fang Mo spends more and more time in the MC world,
His home also grows larger and larger.
This means that every time he expands his homeland, he has to use more World Boxes, which is not only troublesome but also leaves many places where torches can't be placed, and these neglected spots will continuously spawn monsters.
This is actually unavoidable.
After all, Fang Mo's home is now too large, so it's normal not to be able to take care of everything.
But if he could live here, Fang Mo would no longer have to worry about the issue of 'moving' ever again.
Just carry the Dimensional Door with him, and no matter where he goes, it won't matter. Later, by setting the teleport coordinates with Brown magic, even if the door is lost, he can teleport back home. Next time Steve goes out mining with a hammer and empties a chunk, he can take the Dimensional Door to other places, exploring wherever he goes, essentially becoming a humanoid rotator, right?
"Decided, I'm going to live inside the Pure White Superspace from today!"
Fang Mo declared with a clap of his hands.
