After dealing with the Evil Natural Water, Fang Mo quickly shifted his attention to the other monsters.
Currently, in this sinkhole, the only one still standing out in the open was the Homeless Emperor. Naturally, Fang Mo looked in his direction.
"Uh..."
Sensing Fang Mo's gaze, the Homeless Emperor immediately became nervous. He instinctively took a step back and glanced at Psykos in mid-air, possibly hoping she could quickly deal with her opponent and come to his aid.
However, upon looking, he realized Psykos was also being overpowered by her opponent.
The Homeless Emperor hadn't seen Xiao Yao before, but seeing her floating in the air continuously attacking Psykos, he assumed she was an S-class hero like Tatsumaki.
It seemed Xiao Yao had also gotten serious, unleashing various firepower. Fang Mo, noticing the Homeless Emperor glance up, also looked up. Unfortunately, with his poor academic performance, he couldn't understand the principles behind the attacks.
He could only see the ballistic trajectories with his naked eyes, guessing they weren't laser cannons.
Accelerated particle cannons?
Or some kind of ionic plasma beam?
Honestly, Fang Mo couldn't figure it out. However, Psykos was indeed suffering. Not only did she have to withstand these high-tech weapon blasts, but she was also being bombarded by several silver spheres.
The serpent beneath Psykos was receiving particularly harsh treatment, with the silver spheres repeatedly attacking it as if controlled by telekinesis, smashing the serpent's four arms and two black spears.
Seeing this, Fang Mo scratched his head in confusion: "Why is she always hitting the big snake?"
Just as he said this, Xiao Yao raised her hand and pointed forward. A black-purple beam instantly shot towards Psykos' chest. Before Psykos could react, a deep groove on her chest suddenly lit up, as if a sun had risen between two large objects, causing Fang Mo to squint instinctively.
When the light faded, Psykos' entire upper body had disappeared, leaving only two giant legs hanging on the serpent, which soon fell off under the silver spheres' bombardment. One leg fell right beside Fang Mo and the Homeless Emperor with a 'boom.'
"..."
The Homeless Emperor, seeing this, didn't know what to say, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He felt he was doomed today.
At this moment, Fang Mo finally spoke. And of course, it was Fang Mo, so his words were quite explosive.
"Holy, this leg..."
Fang Mo looked at the leg in surprise, instinctively reaching out to touch it. The touch was like grabbing a large piece of gelatin, smooth yet tender, with a bit of residual warmth. He couldn't help but nod in appreciation: "Hmm, what a fine leg..."
Then, Fang Mo suddenly looked at the Homeless Emperor.
"!?"
The Homeless Emperor was startled, quickly stepping back and gathering numerous light spheres in front of him for protection: "You... what do you want?"
"Hello everyone, I'm BaoGege, here to unbox an 18-year-old country ham."
Under the Homeless Emperor's tense gaze, Fang Mo's tone suddenly changed, adopting a humorous accent from somewhere: "Now, this ham is very beautiful, and strictly speaking, it no longer needs fermentation. However, to prevent mosquitoes in summer, we generally need to cover it with protection, like black silk to keep the mosquitoes away."
"Ha!?"
The Homeless Emperor was dumbfounded, not understanding a word: "What... what are you talking about?"
Not only was the Homeless Emperor puzzled, but even Xiao Yao in the sky seemed to notice the situation below.
"Ahem... let's skip the chit-chat and get to burning it clean."
Feeling the gaze from above, Fang Mo pretended to cough, then took a deep breath towards the side: "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
A sea-like flame engulfed the serpent's flesh instantly. Under the intense heat, the divine flesh writhed and turned into countless black snakes, which soon burned to ashes.
"Alright, it's cleaned."
Fang Mo shrugged, then smiled at the terrified Homeless Emperor nearby: "Sadly, this ham has worms. Truly unfortunate. It must not have been preserved well. Next time, be sure to use black silk to protect your ham..."
"What are you up to..."
The Homeless Emperor, both confused and scared, instinctively stepped back again.
"Emmm..."
Fang Mo thought for a moment and added: "White silk will work too."
"That's not what I'm asking!!!" The Homeless Emperor finally couldn't hold back, shouting: "Damn it, are you mocking me!?"
After shouting, he immediately launched an attack, unsure how to deal with this incomprehensible opponent, who seemed more terrifying than any monster.
Is he... really a hero?
Despite his doubts, the Homeless Emperor's attack was relentless, with countless light spheres flying towards Fang Mo.
Unfortunately, his attack, sufficient against a regular S-class hero, was nothing to Fang Mo, who could withstand Psykos' continental cannon. The barrage merely kicked up a cloud of dust.
Amidst the dust, the Homeless Emperor saw a shadow slowly approaching, seemingly unaffected by his light spheres.
"Ugh!"
Seeing this, the Homeless Emperor panicked. He didn't want to end up like Psykos, so he quickly launched more light spheres and turned to flee, shouting: "God! God... this guy is a monster! Grant me more power!!!"
But just as he started running, the ground beneath him exploded, and a strong arm emerged, grabbing his ankle.
"What..."
Before he could react, the Homeless Emperor was pulled to the ground.
In his terrified gaze, amidst the rubble, a towering figure emerged.
"Why is this monster association still collapsing?"
The figure grumbled, dusting off his clothes: "Damn, my vest is all dirty..."
It was none other than the TankTop Master, an S-class hero who had been buried underground earlier.
Given his original strength, he wouldn't have survived Fang Mo's Super Shinra Tensei, even if it was just the aftermath.
But now, Fang Mo had enchanted his vest multiple times.
So, is the TankTop Master's true power in his vest? Of course not! Everyone knows his true power lies in his vest.
Now, with the blessing of the Minecraft God, the TankTop Master's strength had skyrocketed. Unbelievably powerful, nothing in the world could stop him!
"Damn! Is there anything that can stop this?"
"You, are you also a monster?"
The TankTop Master, clearly irritated, saw the Homeless Emperor and immediately reacted: "You're the one the Phoenix Monster mentioned, the one controlling light spheres?"
"Phoenix Monster?"
The Homeless Emperor was confused: "You mean... Phoenix Man?"
Quickly realizing the situation, he attempted to control his light spheres to attack the TankTop Master, hoping to defeat him and continue fleeing.
But the TankTop Master simply swatted the light spheres away, the highly compressed energy balls spinning away and exploding nearby.
"What!?"
The Homeless Emperor was shocked. Since when could anyone swat away his light spheres?
If he remembered correctly, the TankTop Master was ranked low among the S-class heroes. Why was even a low-ranked S-class hero this terrifying? What was going on with the Hero Association? Had Big Eyes' intelligence always been wrong?
While the Homeless Emperor was in shock, the TankTop Master tightened his grip, crushing the Homeless Emperor's leg bones, causing him to scream in pain: "Ah!!! God! Save me!!!"
"So weak?"
Seeing the Homeless Emperor's fragile state, the TankTop Master was surprised: "I thought the Phoenix Monster was tough, but you're just a weakling?"
"What!?"
With his leg bone shattered, the Homeless Emperor was losing it: "Impossible! The Phoenix Man was just a demon-level monster, while my disaster level is dragon! You guys are the real monsters! Damn it! Let God kill you all!"
"Well, indeed."
The TankTop Master nodded, then lifted the Homeless Emperor upside down: "That guy tried to ambush me, but I broke his neck. He inexplicably resurrected, and I spent a lot of effort to finally kill him... I guess he was dragon-level by then."
"Huh? The Phoenix Man is dead?"
Hearing this, Fang Mo was surprised.
The Phoenix Man, originally a minor character, had been given more scenes in the remake by Murata. He was a suit actor whose character, Sluggish Bird, could revive. And revive he did, gaining dragon-level power, comparable to top-tier heroes.
But as mentioned, he was a suit actor.
In the original story, Child Emperor used a tickling robot to force him to remove his suit, leading to his defeat.
But in this version, he seemed to have been defeated by the TankTop Master.
"Huh? Priest?"
Hearing Fang Mo's words, the TankTop Master turned his head, surprised to see Fang Mo: "Were you fighting this monster just now?"
"Sort of... I was just introducing some Ham to him."
Fang Mo scratched his head: "By the way, you said you killed the Phoenix Man, how did you do it?"
"You're asking how I did it?"
The TankTop Master replied strangely: "It was simple. He said he was a suit actor, so he must have relied on the suit's power. It's similar to my vest power. I know my weakness, so I stripped him... he passed out."
"Really?"
Fang Mo was stunned.
"Yes, it's common sense," said the TankTop Master, puzzled by Fang Mo's reaction: "Isn't it?"
"I..."
Fang Mo opened his mouth to say something but finally held back and facepalmed: "Fine, you're right. Anyway, this guy is yours now. I have one last sword to make, so I won't delay."
"Making a sword?"
The TankTop Master seemed confused: "What sword?"
"The Ancient Relic Greatsword."
As Fang Mo spoke, he pulled out an Ender Greatsword from behind and turned to a nearby rock.
