"So, you're saying you ate my stuff without paying attention?"
Fang Mo sat at the dining table, staring incredulously at the super-sized girl sitting opposite him, equally puzzled: "Not that... but that thing was made of iron, brother, didn't it hurt your teeth?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice."
The giant girl in front of him bowed her head as if she had done something wrong: "I had placed the snacks on the table, eating while waiting for you to start the meal, and accidentally picked up the wrong thing, I am very sorry."
"My goodness..."
Fang Mo opened his mouth to complain, but after thinking for a while, he didn't know what to say.
In the end, all he could do was sadly wipe his face.
Even Fang Mo himself hadn't expected, that he only went out to speak with a liaison from the association for a moment, and such a big mess had unfolded in the house.
The creature before him, resembling an eight-foot-tall girl, was not some monster, but the Pig God who had accidentally swallowed the feminization core. Yes, the Pig God, this S-class hero who had little presence in the original story, appeared like an extra-large, super obese otaku, whose fighting method relied entirely on swallowing... similar to that game Kuikuikuipage (idk), starting with a big mouth and leveling up entirely by swallowing.
However, now after swallowing the feminization core, this thing had transformed into a nearly three-meter-tall woman.
And this woman was unexpectedly quite attractive, with long black hair, dressed in a white gown, and wearing something resembling a straw hat on her head. Of course, her physique was also incredibly exaggerated, so much so that Fang Mo, upon looking up, could only describe her in four words: Azur Lane.
Especially when she sat next to Child Emperor, the contrast between their sizes was even more exaggerated.
Fang Mo glanced at Pig God, then at Child Emperor, and his mind instantly filled with a bunch of bizarre images, to the point where he couldn't stand himself and had to vigorously shake his head.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Fang Mo suddenly shake his head, a curious Xiao Yao approached: "Got too high on hell warts?"
"It's nothing but trouble."
Fang Mo slapped his face, barely managing to chase those images from his mind.
"Huh?"
Xiao Yao was a bit confused upon hearing this, but she instinctively looked up at the other side, understanding Fang Mo's point: "Oh... you mean that, I thought you did it on purpose."
"I really didn't do it on purpose."
Fang Mo held his forehead.
"Is it really an accident?" Xiao Yao seemed surprised but didn't have the headache Fang Mo had; she looked up and down at Pig God's new form and spoke up: "Isn't this good too? Get to know the vore attribute?"
"Hey, my god, sister, please rein in your XP."
Fang Mo originally only had a slight headache, but hearing this, he really couldn't hold back anymore: "I mean, XP can be obscure, but not perverse..."
"Is it more perverse than a doujinshi of Gojo x Geto?"
Xiao Yao scoffed.
"..."
Hearing this, Fang Mo didn't know what else to say.
Just then, beside him, Child Emperor finally couldn't hold back his confusion and directly asked: "Priest, and you... sister, what exactly are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
"Cough, cough, good children don't need to understand these things."
Hearing this, Fang Mo coughed twice, then just started speaking to the surroundings: "Okay, okay, go about your business, don't stay here for the spectacle."
With that, the others returned to the living room area.
However, Atomic Samurai's side clearly showed some changes.
"Master, Priest is really amazing." One of Atomic Samurai's disciples, the cross-dressing scythe weasel, said excitedly, "He can actually turn men into women... Master, do you think if we joined the Original God Church, he could change us too?"
"Change yourself if you want to change, don't drag us into it."
Before Atomic Samurai could speak, another disciple, Bushidrill, said with a dark face.
"Well, that's what you say, but I think Priest seems to be quite troubled too." Iaian thought for a moment and said, "I think this might be a misunderstanding."
"But he really has the ability."
The cross-dressing scythe weasel pursed his lips, still very concerned about this.
However, just then, the always silent Atomic Samurai finally spoke up: "Hearing you guys talk, I suddenly remember something... If I'm not mistaken, I think I've heard people from the association say that Priest had another hero alias before."
"What is it?" Several disciples immediately became curious.
"It seems to be called the Source of All Evil."
As Atomic Samurai said this, his face clearly looked a bit bad: "Indeed, we better not stay for dinner, get the weapons and find an excuse to leave first..."
"..."
In summary.
After the small interlude with Pig God.
Fang Mo also seriously watched the scene, ensuring no more bizarre incidents occurred.
As Atomic Samurai and his group had said earlier, Fang Mo handed them several MC's blade weapons, including the nano sword, quantum sword, or the Tinker' Construct Manyullyn Samurai Sword that Xiao Yao brought out. After receiving the weapons, they exchanged simple pleasantries and quickly left.
With Pig God as a precedent.
Atomic Samurai dared not let his disciples stay here any longer.
And as they left, it wasn't long before Child Emperor took the initiative to approach Fang Mo.
He had said earlier that he was here to seek clarification, and indeed he was. Taking advantage of the dinner not yet being ready, Child Emperor posed his long-standing questions to Fang Mo.
However, unlike what Fang Mo had expected.
Child Emperor did not inquire about Fang Mo's information.
Normally speaking, his sudden active presence and becoming an S-class hero, someone as strategically minded as Child Emperor would definitely be suspicious, perhaps even trying to investigate him privately.
But to Fang Mo's surprise, he really didn't do so.
He simply confided some things... just the troubles of a genius.
Yes, just by listening to his hero name, one could understand: Child Emperor, naturally also someone else's child, or an unparalleled genius, but even a genius like Child Emperor is ultimately just a child, clearly lacking in life experience compared to adults.
But truthfully.
This seemed to be the first time Fang Mo seriously listened to a child confiding his troubles.
Looking at Child Emperor standing before him, nervously looking at his own toes, Fang Mo suddenly felt a somewhat strange sensation.
All along, Fang Mo had tried to treat these original characters equally, whether it was Marvel's Nick Fury, X-Men's Uncle Wolf, or Chainsaw Man's Hayakawa Aki.
Although sometimes he really did create some hellish situations, causing everyone headaches, but honestly, Fang Mo didn't regard them as mere ants just because he was a Demon God, the fourth calamity... The relationship had always been rather equal.
However, after hearing Child Emperor's heartfelt words.
Fang Mo found he could no longer treat him with the same attitude of equality.
It seemed that the other party had already regarded him as an elder. So after a brief consideration, Fang Mo changed his approach... as much as possible based on his own judgment, he sincerely encouraged the other party and gave him some fair advice.
But in a fleeting moment.
As Fang Mo stared at the bright, intelligent child before him.
Like an illusion, he seemed to see a blurred, overlapping shadow, though calling this a fantasy wasn't wrong, but at that moment, Fang Mo truly felt like he was looking at his own child.
If he really had a child one day...
How would he educate him?
Would he treat him like a dimension demon god, coddling him in his hands, letting him roam carefree in a paradise of his own making, or would he teach him like a person, just as his own parents once taught him?
Thinking about this question.
Fang Mo himself seemed to pause for a moment.
"Priest?"
However, soon, Child Emperor's voice broke his increasingly lengthy contemplation: "Priest, are you still listening to me?"
"Ah, yes."
Fang Mo came back to his senses, pressing his thoughts deep down: "What is it?"
"Thank you very much for your guidance today."
Child Emperor seemed much more relaxed now, showing Fang Mo a knowing smile: "I think I understand what I need to do next, thank you."
"Hey, it's nothing."
Fang Mo smiled and then reached out to touch his head: "After all, I'm a Priest, taking a bit of care of a little boy is only natural... Rather, I should be thanking you."
"Thank me?" Child Emperor seemed a bit puzzled: "What for?"
"Thank you, kid."
Fang Mo cheerfully said: "I've thanked you already."
"..."
Child Emperor's face turned dark.
"Young man, don't mind the details." Fang Mo laughed, then casually materialized a bit of sugar from his stand Steve: "Here, have some sugar, I remember you like to replenish your brain with sugar?"
"...But I like to eat lollipops."
Child Emperor looked a bit confused at the white sugar in Fang Mo's hand: "Priest, how am I supposed to eat this?"
"Hey, simple."
Fang Mo smiled warmly, then took out a piece of paper and expertly wrapped the sugar inside: "Here, take it, this is something special from me, if you feel a bit down, just open the paper and take a big sniff... Guaranteed to perk you up!"
"This is really just white sugar... right?" Child Emperor looked at Fang Mo with a full head of black lines.
"Taste it, it's sweet."
Fang Mo licked his finger to demonstrate.
"This... okay." Child Emperor seemed a bit pained but still took the paper packet Fang Mo handed him: "Anyway, thank you, I have to go now, I have other things to take care of."
"Are you leaving already?"
Fang Mo asked: "Dinner will be ready soon, why not wait a bit?"
"Priest, I still have unfinished business."
Child Emperor shook his head to explain: "I need to return to the Hero Association for a while, although we have now pinpointed the location of the Monster Association, I still need to prepare my combat equipment, so I probably don't have much time to waste, especially since the final battle is tomorrow, right?"
"I already know."
Fang Mo nodded, not too surprised.
"Yes, it's a special time." Child Emperor responded: "I briefly hacked into the Hero Association's internal system... Oh, and I need to contact Metal Knight tonight, if he can join the battle, our chances of winning will increase significantly."
"I don't think you can convince him." Fang Mo said without hesitation.
"Why?"
Child Emperor seemed puzzled: "I used to be his assistant, if I explain carefully..."
However, before Child Emperor could finish, Fang Mo shook his head and interrupted: "Metal Knight is fine in many ways, but he doesn't forge copper, just for that you won't be able to convince him."
"..."
Child Emperor was left speechless, not knowing what else to say.
"Don't think too much about it, you're still young, there will be opportunities for you to shine in the future." Fang Mo saw this and smiled, then patted his head: "Go back and rest, grow well, let us adults handle things like protecting the world."
"Um..."
Child Emperor pursed his lips, but didn't argue: "Then... I'll take my leave now, Priest, see you tomorrow."
"Alright."
Fang Mo nodded, then watched as Child Emperor left the room.
And as he watched his retreating figure.
The jumbled thoughts in Fang Mo's mind surged up again, thinking, after all, he was a dimension demon god, having a child shouldn't be too much, right?
"Maybe I should talk to Xiao Yao tonight and give it a try?"
Leaning back in his chair, Fang Mo's thoughts wandered again: "Hmm... I wonder, adding a bit of bone powder to the child's food could speed up growth?"
But just as he was pondering this.
Suddenly, the room door was pushed open again.
Fang Mo looked up and saw that it was the TankTop Master standing at the door, who seemed to be looking for him, and upon seeing him in the room, his face brightened.
"So you were hiding here."
As he spoke, the TankTop Master also walked in, holding a box in his hand: "What were you talking to Child Emperor about? He seemed quite happy."
"Nothing much, just gave him some guidance."
Fang Mo didn't delve into it, just curiously glanced at the other: "But you... what do you want?"
"Why don't you open the gift and see?" The TankTop Master seemed a bit excited as he handed over the box he was holding: "I've been preparing this gift for a long time, you'll definitely like it."
