[System Notification: You have researched the concept of 'World Devourer' and obtained 20% download access to the new module.]
As the Elder Centipede was once again split in half, the system notification sounded promptly.
As Fang Mo had guessed, the system identified the Elder Centipede as a module unlocking medium due to its resemblance to the World Devourer. This added an additional 10% to his Terra module access on top of the Cthulhu Eye.
Meanwhile, under Fang Mo's watchful eye, Psykos had no more tricks left to play. She struggled to stand, seemingly attempting to release telekinesis, but suddenly began to vomit blood uncontrollably. Her twisted flesh started peeling off, and a shocked expression appeared on her face.
"This... this is..."
Psykos looked up at the sky in disbelief, "God... are you abandoning me?"
"God?"
Hearing Psykos' words, Fang Mo looked up as well, "Where's this god?"
But despite searching for a long time, Fang Mo saw nothing in the sky except the hole in the atmosphere he had created.
To be honest, Fang Mo was quite interested in this entity. According to the reboot version, this so-called god might be the final boss. Fang Mo wondered if he could create a divine sword from it, but the entity seemed overly cautious.
Fang Mo even used his dimensional authority to see the god. However, even from the perspective of a dimensional demon, he couldn't find any trace of the god, only a faint line descending from the dome, seemingly connected to Psykos.
As if sensing Fang Mo's gaze, the line broke like an electric shock and vanished into thin air.
"God... oh god..."
With the severing of the mysterious link, Psykos let out a cry of anguish. Her body began to writhe and then exploded, turning into a mass of writhing flesh and a naked woman.
"Seriously, so cautious?"
Seeing Psykos separate from Orochi, Fang Mo was taken aback. The god didn't give him any chance to locate it, abandoning its subordinate and fleeing as soon as things went awry.
"Are you looking for god?"
While Fang Mo pondered, Xiao Yao descended next to him.
"Yes."
Fang Mo nodded, not intending to hide it from his partner. "I thought of making a divine sword to play with since that entity is supposed to be the final boss. It should have enough prestige, but it was too cautious..."
"If you really want to make a sword, you could try digging below."
Xiao Yao pointed to the ruins beneath Fang Mo, "In the reboot version, Murata added a plot where there's a giant god-like body underground in the Monster Association."
"Oh, really?"
Fang Mo stroked his chin thoughtfully, "But I remember the god being on the moon."
"Maybe... Murata changed the script?"
Xiao Yao tilted its head, "The version I saw mentioned something underground. Why don't you try digging? The area isn't that large, and if it doesn't work, you could always do Serious Table Flip."
"Forget it."
Fang Mo shook his head after some thought, "I'm too lazy. My bio-radar shows no other creatures here. Besides, that entity is very cautious. It fled as soon as I looked at Psykos' link. Even if it's underground, it probably already ran away."
"As you wish."
Xiao Yao shrugged indifferently.
Just then, the Shoggoth nearby let out a couple of cries. Fang Mo turned and saw a large bump forming on the ground. With a squelching sound, countless Shoggoths worked together to push a tall female figure out from underground.
It was none other than the Pig God, who had been buried in the Monster Association's ruins.
"Where is this..."
The Pig God stood up, observing her surroundings. Seeing the massive crater and the pile of monster corpses, she looked bewildered, "Is this the surface part of the Monster Association?"
While she was in a daze, Fang Mo approached her.
"Hey, you made it up too."
Fang Mo waved at her cheerfully and pointed to the writhing serpent flesh, "There's still some monster left. Eat it while it's hot."
"Okay."
The Pig God, always taciturn, assumed Fang Mo was exhausted and walked over. She grabbed a large chunk of serpent flesh and stuffed it into her mouth, swallowing it with a gulp. Her stomach swelled like a ball and then quickly flattened.
Due to the attacks by Shoggoth underground, all the flesh roots on Orochi's side have been completely devoured. Now, the mass of flesh on the ground is all that remains of his body. After Pig God ate for a while, the mass of flesh on the ground also completely disappeared.
At this moment, the king of the Monster Association, Orochi, finally met his demise.
"Hic..."
Having dealt with Orochi's remnants, Pig God let out a burp.
But just then, Fang Mo suddenly walked over without warning and, without a word, grabbed Psykos by the ankle, lifting her up.
"Here, eat this too," Fang Mo said, cheerfully handing Psykos over to Pig God.
"…"
Pig God seemed to be taken aback.
He instinctively looked down at Psykos, who was clearly panicking. Realizing she was no match for these heroes without her divine powers, she trembled and pleaded, "No... please..."
"This... doesn't seem right," Pig God said hesitantly, looking at Fang Mo.
"Oh, come on, what's not right about it? She's a dragon-level monster of the Monster Association," Fang Mo said, lifting Psykos higher. "She created the entire Monster Association... do you know how many innocent people these monsters have killed?"
"This..."
"Such evil beings deserve to be eradicated," Fang Mo said, stepping closer. "Come on, hero, open your mouth and finish her off."
"But she clearly looks like a human," Pig God hesitated.
"Don't mind the details..."
Fang Mo was about to argue further, but just then, Xiao Yao pressed a hand on his shoulder: "Wait, why are you so intent on killing her?"
"She made you angry."
Fang Mo shrugged, "So I'm helping you kill her to show my loyalty, isn't that great..."
"I think you've developed a new fetish," Xiao Yao said, seeing through Fang Mo's intentions.
"Cough, cough, not at all," Fang Mo replied, coughing lightly. "I don't know what you're talking about. I just think she's too despicable and should be killed. If Pig God can't do it, I'll give her to Shoggoth."
"Chirp!"
Shoggoth let out an expectant sound, and black tentacles emerged from the shadows at its feet, appearing somewhat web-like.
"Damn, tentacle cat," Xiao Yao commented immediately. "How much magical girl anime have you shown it?"
"There's no magical girl anime nowadays," Fang Mo shrugged. "These are generated by keywords with the help of Ultron. I haven't watched them myself."
"You..."
Xiao Yao rubbed his temples in frustration. "Forget it, I won't bother with you. But let me say this first, this person might be related to the upcoming plot. If the story falls apart next time, don't blame me for not warning you..."
"What? She's related to the upcoming plot?"
Hearing this, Fang Mo looked at Psykos in surprise, but she had already fallen unconscious.
"After the Monster Association arc, a strange organization seems to appear," Xiao Yao recalled. "I forgot the name, but they specifically wanted Psykos. It seems to be related to the later plot..."
"A strange organization?"
Fang Mo frowned. "The Machinery Squad?"
"Probably not," Xiao Yao shook his head. "It looks more like an organization of psychics. They started showing off right away."
"Is it the revised version or the original?"
"Definitely the revised version," Xiao Yao said without hesitation. "In the original, the Machinery Squad is almost gone, and the scientist behind Genos seems to be dead. The differences between the original and the revised versions are growing. I don't know what Murata is thinking... the only unaltered storyline now seems to be KING."
"Nani? The Machinery Squad is almost gone?"
Fang Mo was taken aback: "Wow, when I was alive, they took breaks every day... As soon as I get hit by a car and die, they start publishing like crazy?"
Indeed, Fang Mo wasn't wrong.
In his previous life, he had just seen the big event involving the Monster Association. As for what happened afterward, he had no idea. The only reason he knew about the Organization was that it had been hinted at early in the plot.
As for the main storyline, he knew nothing about it.
"I give up."
Fang Mo couldn't help but wipe his face, then turned to Xiao Yao beside him: "Why don't you explain the plot to me?"
"Explain my foot."
Xiao Yao replied irritably: "I only watched up to that part; I haven't seen anything beyond that."
"Why not?"
Fang Mo asked, puzzled: "Did Murata mess it up again?"
"And you have the nerve to ask?"
Xiao Yao glared fiercely at Fang Mo: "You sent a message and then disappeared. I turned the world upside down looking for you, only to find a small grave in the end. How could I have the heart to watch anime?"
"...Alright, never mind then."
Hearing this, Fang Mo instinctively shrank back.
But just as the two were chatting, a sudden rush of footsteps came from not far away.
Looking up, Fang Mo saw that the newcomers were none other than members of the Hot Pot Group: Saitama, Fubuki, the Bang brothers, KING, and Genos. Clearly, the commotion he caused in Z City had caught their attention.
"What the hell have you done!?"
The first to rush over was Saitama, his face filled with grief and indignation: "The noise here is definitely your doing, right?"
"Isn't it normal for there to be some noise when I fight monsters?"
Fang Mo shrugged: "The Monster Association's headquarters is right under your house. What could I do?"
"Wait, is that..."
At this moment, Fubuki rushed over as well. She immediately noticed the Psykos in Fang Mo's hand and was stunned: "Psykos? How is she here?"
"Thanks to you, my house turned to ashes!"
Ignoring Fubuki, Saitama shouted angrily at Fang Mo.
"Oh, that's not a big deal." Fang Mo waved his hand dismissively: "The Hero Association is building hero dormitories. You can move there; it'll be more comfortable than your apartment."
"But I paid rent for that apartment..."
Saitama insisted.
"Look at you, the landlord is probably dead and gone too." Fang Mo looked at Saitama with disdain: "I'll reimburse you, okay?"
"Thanks a lot."
Hearing this, Saitama's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Um, Sensei..."
At this moment, Genos couldn't help but remind him: "Wasn't our house destroyed by the S-Class hero Tatsumaki? Isn't it unfair to make Mr. Fang Mo compensate?"
"Cough, cough!!!"
Saitama immediately coughed loudly.
"Oh, right, Tatsumaki."
Reminded by Genos, Fang Mo snapped back to reality: "Tatsumaki should have flown your way earlier, looking quite angry. How did you handle it?"
"Handled it?"
Saitama seemed puzzled: "We didn't really handle it... She agreed."
"Oh, I see."
Fang Mo nodded, but soon realized something was off and stared wide-eyed at Saitama: "Wait, what did you just say!?"
