"ah?"
Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Fang Mo was instantly bewildered.
Although nothing had happened, he still felt as if he had been caught doing something wrong, so much so that he even stopped dodging.
As is widely known, hesitation leads to defeat.
Although according to Fang Mo's current strength and methods, it was impossible for him to be killed.
However, due to his momentary hesitation, the psychic wave of Tatsumaki still hit him squarely in the face. It must be said that the power of this psychic wave was indeed strong, at least much stronger than the previous fancy tornado twists, and even Fang Mo was knocked backwards.
But in the next second.
A thunderous boom erupted from Fang Mo.
A towering white light shot straight into the sky, instantly dispersing the storm's eye in mid-air, and Fang Mo directly activated the beacon... or rather, the power of the Nether Star.
Endless streams of white light poured into Fang Mo's body, making his figure appear so vast and majestic, as if he was not a person but an infinite expanse of dimension. Facing such a powerful existence, Tatsumaki's expression also suddenly changed.
She was inherently a psychic.
Naturally endowed with strong perception abilities.
Facing Fang Mo directly, she even felt a chill from deep within, like a biological instinct or something genetically suppressive.
Under this terrifying aura, a ridiculous thought even emerged in Tatsumaki's mind, although she did not know exactly what the guy in front of her was, she had a premonition that humans alone could definitely not defeat him.
This was a true monster.
And looking at Fang Mo in front of her, Tatsumaki suddenly recalled something.
"Wait..."
Tatsumaki looked at Fang Mo in shock: "Is this guy... possibly that disaster-level?"
Yes, as previously mentioned, the Hero Association classified disasters caused by monsters into five grades: God, Dragon, Ghost, Tiger, Wolf, and among them, the most terrifying God-level disaster could destroy the entire human civilization. At this moment, Tatsumaki suddenly recalled this point.
The appearance of the other party shrouded in white light.
Indeed had an aura as majestic and terrifying as that of a deity.
Actually, the other party previously looked like a person, just inexplicably like a lunatic, but now it seemed like he had ripped off his disguise, that deity-like posture... even a glance at it could cause one's heart to palpitate, this definitely could not be a human's capability.
Yes, under the stimulation of an alternate dimension's aura.
Tatsumaki had subconsciously classified Fang Mo as a monster of God-level disaster.
"... "
And after recalling the descriptions of God-level disasters, Tatsumaki's expression visibly became heavier, as she subconsciously looked towards the distant city, her eyes filled with a complex light.
At this moment.
Tatsumaki remembered her sister.
Indeed, although Tatsumaki was the second-ranked S-class hero of the Hero Association, she actually had a sister named Fubuki, who was also a hero but currently only ranked B-class. Tatsumaki really loved her sister, but due to her own strong controlling desire, her relationship with her sister was not good.
Now facing a legendary God-level disaster.
To be honest, even Tatsumaki herself was not sure if she could survive this.
And at this moment, she realized she really couldn't let go of Fubuki, her stupid sister who was so weak. What would happen if she was bullied by others without her own protection in the future?
Or to put it another way...
If this guy in front of her really was a God-level disaster, then humanity would be destroyed, and her sister would definitely die too, which was something Tatsumaki could not accept no matter what. She had to change this outcome.
Thinking this.
Tatsumaki's thoughts also began to change.
As if she had made some important decision, she suddenly clenched her teeth, her psychic properties gradually began to change, becoming denser and more unstable. At this moment, she was ready to sacrifice her own life, determined to find a way to resolve this opponent.
And at this moment.
Fang Mo also started to speak.
Of course, he had no idea how rich Tatsumaki's inner drama was, just looking at him glowing and thinking he was facing a God-level disaster.
In fact, Fang Mo was still troubled by Xiao Yao's teleportation command.
Moreover, he really did not want to fight with Tatsumaki, especially since her appearance was exactly Fang Mo's type, he really had no resistance to such short joys, at most he would tease her a bit, and also, there was the most important point... right below where they were fighting was the only remaining laboratory of the House of Evolution.
This was indeed a sacred spot for drawing cards for Fang Mo, he really did not want to destroy this place.
"Uh... that thing..."
Thinking this, Fang Mo also took the initiative to speak up: "You can see the situation now, obviously you're no match for me, so maybe we just... "
However, before Fang Mo could finish his sentence.
Tatsumaki suddenly yelled out loud without warning.
Without any unnecessary words, her whole body suddenly rushed towards Fang Mo, her green light not only did not explode but instead all converged inside her, while her aura also rose again, a destructive aura surged into the sky.
"... What the hell are you doing?"
Fang Mo saw Tatsumaki's momentum and was immediately startled: "Do the people from the One Punch World love to self-destruct so much?"
Saying this, Fang Mo also hurriedly raised both hands: "Za Warudo!"
With the expansion of the time field, everything was frozen at this moment, as if the entire world had turned into a gray color, even the fiercely rushing Tatsumaki was also frozen in place, maintaining a posture with bulging veins.
"emmm..."
Fang Mo stared at Tatsumaki in mid-air and fell into thought.
But soon, he once again took out his phone and took several pictures of her current state.
"This time-based ability is really f***ing useful."
And after taking the pictures, Fang Mo then contentedly put his phone away, casually touching Tatsumaki's neck lightly: "Luckily I'm a gentleman... um, and then time begins to flow."
As his words fell.
The world resumed its operation.
The originally rushing Tatsumaki received a heavy blow to her neck, her eyes turned directly and she fainted.
But her body, driven by inertia, turned several circles in mid-air and then directly smashed towards Fang Mo, who saw this and subconsciously raised his hand, directly catching Tatsumaki in his arms.
Compared to Fang Mo's sturdy and tall figure, Tatsumaki appeared quite petite, and perhaps because she lost consciousness, coupled with the intense concentration of psychic power, this caused her body to fiercely press against Fang Mo's body, with a soft touch everywhere, and it was quite hot, besides Fang Mo also smelled a faint... uh, milky fragrance?
"emmm..."
Fang Mo held the unconscious Tatsumaki in mid-air and pondered for a while.
Then he silently activated his ability, typing in the chat box the command /tpdeny.
[System Prompt: You have denied xiaoyao's teleportation request.]
This command was just typed out not long ago, and soon Steve's view of the public screen re-emerged with a message, exactly what Fang Mo's partner had sent over.
[xiaoyao: ???]
And facing this message, Fang Mo's face did not change as he began to type on the public screen with his consciousness.
[mofang: Taking a dump, not very convenient.]
Probably also didn't expect Fang Mo to reply to himself like this, the other side was silent for a long time, and after a long while, another message was sent again.
[xiaoyao: 6.]
In any case, relying on the always versatile escape using poop, Fang Mo was luckily able to escape this crisis.
And after fooling his little grudge-bearing partner, Fang Mo did not stay any longer, directly carrying Tatsumaki slowly floating back to the ground.
Don't look at how little Fang Mo actually moved, but in fact, Tatsumaki was really quite seriously injured.
Of course, this was mostly her own doing, after all, she was about to self-destruct, and it was normal for her small body to be severely expanded by psychic power, causing extensive tearing of body tissues.
But honestly.
Fang Mo didn't quite understand Tatsumaki's operation.
In his view, he was just fully powering up to show off, but Tatsumaki inexplicably thought it was unbearable and wanted to die with him...
"Is it because she's too thin-skinned, not wanting her photo in someone else's hands?"
Fang Mo subconsciously touched his head: "But that shouldn't be the case, she's always flying around in the sky, wouldn't other S-class heroes secretly take photos of her? Uh... even if they don't take photos, they must have seen her anyway, it's not worth such a big reaction."
Although somewhat puzzled.
But Fang Mo really didn't want this guy to die here.
So with a thought, he drew out a giant cleaver. One and only cure to all. Fang Mo didn't think much and directly took a couple of swipes at Tatsumaki.
It wasn't long.
Tatsumaki then slowly woke up.
"Hisss, my head hurts..."
Due to the excessive consumption of psychic power, Tatsumaki woke up and immediately covered her forehead, but soon she noticed Fang Mo next to her, her whole body's movement suddenly stiffened.
"You're awake?"
Fang Mo saw this and chuckled: "Congratulations, you're now an only child."
"What?"
Tatsumaki was stunned.
"I heard you don't get along well with your sister." Fang Mo started making things up: "So while you were unconscious, I took the opportunity to go to the nearby city and took care of your sister."
"What did you say!?"
Hearing this, a sea-like green psychic power accompanied by fresh blood simultaneously sprayed out from Tatsumaki's body: "I'm going to kill..."
"Alright, just kidding."
However, just when Tatsumaki was about to take serious action, Fang Mo suddenly shrugged his shoulders: "Your sister is fine, I've been here waiting for you to wake up, I haven't gone anywhere."
"..."
Tatsumaki heard this and was suddenly stunned, the tension in her heart relaxed, and she immediately lost her strength and collapsed on the ground, but even so, she still refused to concede in terms of momentum, fiercely staring at Fang Mo: "Who are you! What exactly do you want?"
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Fang Mo."
Hearing Tatsumaki say this, Fang Mo didn't get angry, but directly spoke up: "I am a Lolic... cough cough, a Sorcerer from a faraway land."
"A Sorcerer?"
Tatsumaki immediately frowned: "You... aren't you a monster?"
"What the hell, have you ever seen a monster as handsome as me?" Hearing this, Fang Mo directly countered: "And if I were a monster, do you think you'd still be alive? I'd have killed you first and talked later."
"Maybe you're planning something."
Tatsumaki said.
"Sorry, in the face of absolute power, any plan is meaningless."
Fang Mo slowly shook his head: "I can blow up the Earth with one shot when I get serious, and change the weather with a thought. This world sustains billions of people, but it's not enough for me to play around for even a minute. Do you think someone as strong as me... would need to rely on something like a plan?"
"The traces of the previous battle were indeed caused by you."
Hearing Fang Mo's reasoning, Tatsumaki quickly reacted: "So what is your purpose in doing this? And... how do you know my information?"
"I said earlier, I am a Sorcerer."
Fang Mo spread his hands: "Of course, I have already reached the pinnacle in the field of magic, including White Magic of Angel, Earth-Shattering, Sky Compressing…, and other forbidden spells. I can know your information just because I can see the future. But currently, I am simply trying to improve my mastery in the field of Alchemy."
"Alchemy?"
Tatsumaki asked subconsciously.
"Oh, that's right." As Fang Mo spoke, he suddenly raised his hand towards the distance, and soon several solid gold cubes, each one cubic meter, appeared in the distance and thudded to the ground.
"As you can see, I can even transmute gold out of thin air now."
Fang Mo withdrew his hand and calmly said: "I have reached the peak in the refining of gold, but because it's too boring, I plan to refine the entire periodic table. In the future, I hope to try refining copper, and I hope you won't be unappreciative."
"Ha?"
Tatsumaki was clearly unable to understand the jokes in Fang Mo's words, her face full of confusion.
"Just a reminder."
Seeing Tatsumaki's confused face, Fang Mo spoke up again: "The reason there are battle traces here is because I discovered a mad scientist trying to destroy the world by creating a biological weapon. For the safety of humanity, I casually eliminated that thing."
Although Tatsumaki didn't understand the jokes, she could still understand Fang Mo's normal speech.
And after a brief exchange, she could also see that the other party really had no murderous intent towards her, and his words also had some logic to them.
This guy's strength was something she had seen with her own eyes.
And owning such terrifying power, if he really wanted to do something... he probably really didn't need any schemes, he could just come out in the open, even if he wanted to rule the world, it wouldn't be a problem, since no one could stop him anyway.
But he didn't do that.
So, did she really misunderstand him?
"This..."
Thinking this, Tatsumaki hesitated for a moment, but soon she remembered why she had taken action, it was clearly the other party who started taking her pictures first, and he had been mocking her all along, almost making her lungs explode.
Thinking of the other party's previous actions, Tatsumaki suddenly felt her anger surge, and directly gritted her teeth and asked: "Then why did you take those pictures? Do you look down on me?"
"No no no, I was just recording life simply."
Fang Mo first shook his head, then suddenly turned the question back on Tatsumaki: "You dare to fly up there dressed like that, so what's wrong with me taking a few pictures? If you didn't expose it, could I have taken them?"
"You..."
"Then how about I let you take some pictures too?"
Before she could finish speaking, Fang Mo continued: "Form means nothing to me, so I could also transform into a little loli and let you snap a photo of my underwear. Of course, I wouldn't get as infuriated as you do. At most, I'd just call you a pig..."
"..."
Tatsumaki was silenced by his response.
It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but she simply couldn't argue with him. Especially given his overwhelming strength, she couldn't beat him even though her long-standing spoiled behavior by the Hero Association had cultivated a terrible temper in her. Now, she found herself completely unable to deal with Fang Mo. Even though she was fuming with rage, she couldn't think of any retort.
"You said you were protecting humanity before, right?"
After a long while, Tatsumaki reluctantly brought up another topic: "Have you registered with the Hero Association?"
"No, their naming is just too damn ugly."
