"Damn... What on earth happened?"
Looking at the outrageous scene before him, even Fang Mo, who usually wasn't easily fazed, couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression on his face.
The story begins with Fang Mo's return to the planet Ego.
Since he planned to mobilize all the members under his command for an unprecedented first-ever Planet Ego Head Seven Tour Competition, Fang Mo bid farewell to Nick Fury and Strange and then, cradling Shoggoth, returned to his pure white super-space.
However, upon Fang Mo's return to Planet Ego,
He was stunned by the scenery here.
Under the construction of a large number of original villagers, Twilight Forests, and Gaia Codex monsters, this place had actually become a somewhat magical medieval town.
However, at that time, Fang Mo was not quite satisfied with this.
So, he sought out the Avengers, mainly on Stark's side, suggesting that he bring a batch of industrial equipment to help build the town, which also conveniently provided a hideout from the accursed Sokovia Accords.
The problem arose with Stark.
Because Fang Mo had been crazily stirring up activities outside during this period, he hadn't paid attention to this place. Even when taking Nick Fury out, he only pulled the other party out with a thought, without his physical body actually coming to Planet Ego.
That's where the trouble started. When Fang Mo returned here now,
He found that the place had completely lost its original appearance, what otherworldly medieval town... it was as if it had never existed.
Instead, what stood was a highly modernized city.
Although the scale of this city was not large, at least not comparable to places like New York City, the problem was that its style was now utterly sci-fi.
Fang Mo looked around, and everywhere were skyscrapers blinking with neon lights.
And that wasn't all. Flying up to take a look from afar, Fang Mo could see a bizarre spectacle of everyone working together to construct new buildings.
He saw several suits of armor first use nanotechnology to rapidly print out a building's steel framework, followed by a Lich launching magic, with countless green magical runes lighting up, and concrete surging up as if it had come to life.
And in the end, the Redcap Goblins also accurately placed bricks, and the entire building rose from the ground at a visible speed.
Aside from the cooperation of these people,
Another side's Hayakawa Aki also launched countless shadow clones.
All these Hayakawa Akis were covered with Tailed Beast cloaks, and then collectively slapped the ground with both hands, causing the earth to tremble continuously, and then a building thunderously rose from the ground.
Honestly, even Hashirama wouldn't dare to play like this.
"Ji?"
Even Shoggoth in Fang Mo's arms seemed stunned after seeing this scene.
The little guy first tilted his head in confusion, seemingly verifying if this was Planet Ego, and after that, it turned its head directly towards Fang Mo, its small head filled with great doubts.
"Ji? Ji ji?"
As for Fang Mo,
Honestly, he was also shocked into speechlessness for a long time.
At this moment, after hearing Shoggoth's question, Fang Mo slapped his face hard and then couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, this is unbelievable..."
After he couldn't help but comment.
Fang Mo's heart stirred slightly, and he directly teleported Stark to his presence.
At this moment, Stark seemed to be researching something, continuously manipulating a set of complex holographic designs in his hands. Upon noticing the change in the scenery around him, he was obviously startled.
"What the... Huh?"
Fortunately, Stark quickly noticed Fang Mo in front of him: "You're back?"
"Big brother, can you explain what's going on here?"
Fang Mo didn't beat around the bush and couldn't help but ask with a hand on his forehead: "When I left a few days ago, this was still the Novice Village. How did it turn into the Night City upon my return? What happened to the promised magical city?"
"Huh?"
Stark was also stunned for a moment, then directly said: "This is indeed a magical city."
"Cyber runes, or quantum magic?"
Fang Mo countered.
"This city is basically built with magic," Stark responded smoothly, spreading his hands: "And the energy for the entire city is also provided by magic."
"Magic for energy?"
Hearing this, Fang Mo was a bit surprised: "But I see all neon lights outside, so are those actually magic light sources?"
"No, those are just regular neon lights."
Stark shook his head: "To be precise, I designed several power plants that can convert magical energy into electrical energy. After all, my Arc Reactor is not quite suitable here and can't make the city self-sufficient."
"Converting magic into electrical energy?"
Fang Mo curiously asked: "You didn't put my Liches in jars to generate electricity, did you?"
"The main source of power is still steam turbines," Stark explained simply: "The principle is to use Mr. Hayakawa and Mr. Lich's flame magic to replace coal and nuclear fuel that pollute the environment, burning boilers to drive the turbines to generate electricity."
"So, is this just boiling water?"
Fang Mo couldn't help but mock: "And poor Aki got the short end of the stick, I just saw him working on infrastructure outside, and now he's also in charge of generating electricity... Did Himeno not punch you to death?"
"It was his own decision."
Stark replied directly: "He said he had a Demon Fox Sword that could provide endless energy for him. It's not like I forced him to do this."
"Oh, I see."
Hearing Stark's explanation, Fang Mo had a moment of realization.
He had indeed lent the Demon Fox Sword to him before, and then got busy and forgot about it. Unexpectedly, Hayakawa came to voluntarily build the city with it. This dedication was commendable; probably only scoundrels like Makima would dispose of such a diligent employee.
"You don't think this city looks bad, do you?"
Before Fang Mo could say anything more, Stark immediately asked: "Let's get one thing straight, it wasn't just my design. It was your people who collectively voted for it before I took out the construction plan. Don't blame me."
"I'm not blaming you, it's just that there are too many points of criticism at the moment..."
Fang Mo said with a hand on his forehead in pain: "Although I'm a sorcerer, I'm not one of those ascetics from Kamar-Taj... I've already been corrupted by evil capitalism. When it comes to enjoying a life of luxury and decadence, that's where you tech guys excel, like wrapping an entire ship with female models..."
"Cough cough, don't talk nonsense."
Stark coughed dryly twice: "That's all in the past now, the notorious playboy is part of my past, now I..."
"Now you no longer like women, is that it?"
Fang Mo laughed upon hearing this: "So, you haven't secretly built a... cough, a 'Big Bird Spin Spin Spin' bar or something like that here, have you?"
