Chapter 315: Sucking Ego
Fang Mo hasn''t felt so exhrated in a long time.
The kind of joyous liberation, a pure emotional catharsis that is nearly extreme.
No need to consider feelings, morals, good or evil, just purely annihting the enemy to nothingness, erasing every particle that constitutes the enemy''s body from this world.
Unfortunately for Ego.
It seemed too lenient to just kill him with one punch.
After all, even Ronan, a minor soldier, was sealed by Fang Mo into a t pan and handed over to Drax.
This was a rare opportunity for Fang Mo to delve into his dreams, and Ego dared to wake him up, which really solidified their enmity. Fang Mo would not allow Ego to perish so easily.
After all... he was still not satisfied.
With that thought, Fang Mo directly put on the Infinity Gauntlet.
In the next second, the infinite might of the Time Stone enveloped the entire Ego, and everything started to madly reverse.
First, Ego''s brain, which was alive and smashed by Fang Mo, suddenly reappeared out of thin air, and the surrounding uncontroble celestial energy also quickly stabilized. The exploding mes were reabsorbed into the flesh and veins as if nothing had happened.
In the end, even the crust of Ego, scattered across the cosmos, rapidly fell back.
Countless broken rocks converged into a massive, boundless crust, re-covering the vast cavity of the underworld. The ruptured flesh, soil, and rocks were also covered back over the earth, and the destroyed giant light tentacles were restored to their original state.
Even the members of the Guardians of the Gxy.
Were also confusedly reverted to below the light tendrils.
"What''s going on?"
Star-Lord, now awakened to his celestial heritage, also felt an eerie sense of disharmony and quickly asked the others, "Do you feel like we''ve seen this scene before?"
"It is a bit strange."
Rocket Roon scratched his head, seemingly puzzled: "It feels... like I''ve seen this scene somewhere?"
However, at this moment, Drax suddenly spoke up.
"Look at how inexperienced you all are." Drax, leaning on his frying pan, spoke in an experienced tone: "The ''time'' just now was obviously reversed a bit, you might be experiencing this for the first time, so your senses are a bit disoriented... but not me, I''m almost used to this feeling."
"Right, the ''sense of time'' just now was indeed a bit strange."
Mantis chimed in hesitantly: "This feeling is like when I peered into the abyss before and forgot many things, but if I try to remember, I can feel a strange dissonance."
"So, Fang Mo has woken up?"
Star-Lord understood what the others meant and heaved a sigh of relief: "That''s great, we finally have hope..."
But he had just finished speaking.
Just then, a few people were looking at him with a strange gaze.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Star-Lord was a bit confused as he looked at the people around him. "Did I...say something wrong?"
"Actually, ording to normal understanding, the strongest among us has awakened, and indeed, we are saved," Rocket Roon suddenly retorted. "But have you ever thought about one thing... that is, why did we mysteriously experience a time reversal?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Rocket Roon''s statement, Star-Lord was also stunned.
Right...
Why did time reverse?
"Could it be..." Mantis hesitated and asked, "He didn''t manage to save us in time, so he used time reversal to bring us back to life?"
"Or maybe he was woken up by the noise and got out of bed grumpy, and just punched Quill''s dad to death," Rocket Roon immediately continued. "Now we all know, Quill''s dad is a living, and if that exploded, we certainly wouldn''t survive. So, we were identally killed by the aftermath, and that guy reluctantly brought us back to life."
"Perhaps the real situation is even worse."
Drax shrugged his shoulders, offering another possibility: "He didn''t even think of us still being here. He was just not vented enough, so he thought of reviving Ego to kill again, just like he once taught me... I will kill you a thousand times!"
"Oh my God..."
After hearing the spections of others, Star-Lord waspletely dumbfounded and subconsciously said: "No, why is this guy''s morning mood so..."
However, just as Star-Lord finished speaking.
A deep blue hole suddenly copsed in the space behind him.
Then, Fang Mo slowly walked out from inside: "What, you think my morning mood is very bad?"
"Cough cough... How could it be?"
Star-Lord was startled by Fang Mo''s sudden appearance, but then he sighed in relief, turned his head to the others, and said: "See, I told you it''s fine. As long as Fang Mo is awake, we will be fine. But you had to scare me, talking about time reversal and all..."
"Time reversal is real."
Before Star-Lord could finish, Fang Mo directly interrupted him.
"Uh..." Star-Lord''s smile suddenly stiffened, and he quickly became a bit nervous and asked: "Then you mean to say..."
"Okay, I admit my morning mood is indeed quite heavy."
Fang Mo spread his hands and then suddenly did a backflip in ce. While everyone was confused, he calmly continued: "I was so angry just now that I stomped my foot... probably identally affected you guys, but it''s not a big deal, I''ve livened things up for everyone."
"You''re saying your angry stomping somehow affected us?"
Star-Lord, clearly perplexed, couldn''t help asking: "Isn''t it just a stomp? Can that really be enough to kill us all?"
"What should I do then? Should I demonstrate it again?"
Fang Mo looked at Star-Lord, who indeed had a talent for courting death.
"I..."
Before Star-Lord could say anything, Rocket Roon and Drax already pulled him aside.
"No need for a demonstration, buddy."
Rocket Roon quickly said, covering Star-Lord''s mouth: "We believe, we really believe."
"Oh, as long as you believe."
Fang Mo nodded, then snapped his fingers, and the profound space door opened again: "Hurry back to the Mno. I remember there''s popcorn and jellybeans on the ship. Make sure to choose a good spot, watch me tear apart your dear dad..."
"Didn''t you already kill him once?"
Rocket Roon asked curiously.
"Yeah."
Fang Mo didn''t deny it: "Seriously flipping the table and punching him directly shattered his brain, but I wasn''t satisfied. I''ve decided to kill him a few hundred more times..."
"Just because he woke you up?" Rocket asked.
"Just because he woke me up." Fang Mo affirmed with a nod.
Everyone was silent, looking towards Star-Lord who realized his foolishness. If he had really woken Fang Mo, he might be the one getting killed hundreds of times now. Cold sweat ran down his forehead.
"Let''s go, quickly."
Rocket Roon nced at Star-Lord and then led him towards the portal.
Following his lead, everyone hurriedly ran back to the Mno, a bit fearful that Fang Mo might suddenly lose his temper.
After they left, Fang Mo took out a golden apple and started munching on it, then waved at the Mno in space.
After that, Fang Mo suddenly activated the power of the Sword of Time. With a shout of ''The world'', everything in the world paused at that moment.
Fang Mo raised his hand and swung it down, the gravity ray instantly piercing the earth.
And so, he slowly sank into the ground, quickly returning to the center of this, the region where the Ego core is located.
Looking at the core of Ego in front of him, Fang Mo did not choose to kill it with a punch but summoned Steve after some thought. Then Steve took a greyish-white bucket out of the inventory.
Steve raised his hand and right-clicked, and a greyish-white liquid block appeared instantly on the ground.
Since time was at a standstill, the bucket of antimatter did not explode immediately upon being poured onto the ground. Fang Mo thought for a moment and then snapped his fingers on the spot.
The Space Stone emitted an unprecedentedly bright light, followed by a vast, boundless supermassive portal that suddenly opened. At the other end of the deep blue void was an endless sea of light and heat, a zing white ocean of super-hot sma as far as the eye can see.
Even though time was still at a standstill, Fang Mo felt a bit uneasy and quickly teleported into the distant cosmos.
Only after this did Fang Mo breathe a sigh of relief.
He smiled, looking at the Ego, his lips buzzing, silently uttering a sentence.
Celestial Colossus: Terra Rupture Ster Burst! At the thought, Fang Mo lifted the time stop.
The next second, the whole Ego suddenly fell into a strange silence. All the white light on the surface extinguished, and the seemed to have lost all vitality.
Inside, the portal continued to expand, and the super-high pressure atomic nuclei undergoing fusion reactions poured out like raging tides. At the same time, a ton of antimatter instantly annihted with the matter, converting into pure energy.
Just one gram of antimatter releases energy equivalent to tens of thousands of tons of TNT upon annihtion.
And this whole cubic meter of antimatter, along with the supermassive portal from the ster core... Of course, mainly the boundless power of the star core, Ego, even as a god, could not withstand such terrifying power.
Its core was almost instantly vaporized into nothingness.
And after that, the energy stored in Ego''s fleshwork alsopletely lost control and went berserk.
Deep within the, the power from the ster core continuously poured in, like a celestial ''cream puff'', filling the interior of the Ego quickly with nuclear thermal flow far exceeding a million degrees Celsius. An astronomical ultimate explosion began to brew rapidly, its explosive yield and scale surpassing any conventional scientific measure.
The whole trembled uneasily.
The surface tes of Ego began with intense trembling and roaring.
Then the whole began to visibly soften and redden, all organic life burned to ashes by the high temperature. But soon, the temperature plummeted, and the surface of the slowly turned into a quiet ck again, as ifpletely dead.
But this was just a brief silence.
Soon, an endless dazzling light burst from the rifts.
Ego, in this sun-like brilliant light,pletely shattered, disintegrated, exploding into countless fragments that scattered outward, numerous points of light like stardust res thrown outwards, the whole process immensely shocking.
After doing all this.
Fang Mo satisfactorily closed the portal and teleported to the Mno.
At this moment, everyone didn''t even notice Fang Mo. Their entire attention was on the Ego in front of them, which wasn''t even a anymore. It had been sted into countless fragments, lifelessly floating in the cosmic space.
"Hey, bro."
Fang Mo patted Star-Lord''s shoulder with a grin: "Your dad has be a mine!"
"Fuck!" Star-Lord was so scared he almost jumped out of his seat. Turning his head and seeing Fang Mo, he then gasped, holding his chest: "Bro, you almost scared me to death..."
"Look how scared you got."
Fang Mo alsoughed: "This is the basic operation for us Celestial yers, Terra Rupture Ster Burst, just the basics, don''t worry..."
"You''ve once again refreshed my understanding of you."
Rocket Roon couldn''t help but speak up at this moment, "You''re too brutal, destroying wholes like that. Doesn''t Ego have a core? Why don''t you just deal with his core? Not to mention Quill, even a widely experienced guy like me is scared to death. Are you really some kind of dimensional demon?"
"Some might call this extinction of celestial bodies, destroying everything, as the act of an evil dimensional demon," Fang Mo said with an indifferent smile. "But I call it efficiency."
"But this is too damn efficient."
Rocket Roon facepalmed.
"So what should I call it then?" Fang Mo spread his hands, "Filial piety? But this is Quill''s dad we''re talking about. ying the filial piety card would be to Ego''s advantage, wouldn''t it?"
"So what do you n to do next?"
Rocket Roon sighed, "You''ve killed him twice now... Aren''t you satisfied yet?"
"Satisfied?"
Fang Mo directlyughed, his hand lighting up with green light again, "I''ll leave these words here today. I''ll consider this matter closed when I drink beef and radish soup."
"Wait, beef and radish soup?"
Star-Lord was stunned, "You mean Earth''s radish and beef?"
"No, we are in outer space," said Rocket Roon, unable to help himself. "Where do you expect me to find that stupid radish and meat? Besides, who among us would even know how to make that stuff? We don''t even have a proper chef."
"But at least we have a frying pan," Drax chimed in.
"I am Groot. (Keep that pan for yourself.)" Even Groot couldn''t help but make a remark.
"I am Groot. (Keep your stinky pot for stewing poop!)" The hothead also said mockingly, fortunately, Drax doesn''t understand Groot''snguage, or else the two would probably start fighting.
"Who said we don''t have a chef?"
Fang Mo said, then stabbed Rahab Sword into the ground, and the next second, Ah Xue walked out from it.
"She can cook?"
Rocket Roon was also stunned.
"Ah Xue, here, it''s up to you," Fang Mo said, handing over some carrots, salt, and beef to her from Steve''s belongings, "Remember to call me when the soup is ready."
"Okay, master."
Ah Xue did not ask further but simply smiled and took the ingredients.
During the time Ah Xue made the soup,
Fang Mo relentlessly tormented Ego, sparing no props in his hands, using every possible method to torture the deity, such as barrels of liquid antimatter, Ender Pearls, Infinity Stones, and ck Hole Hooks, employing almost every means avable.
While Ego was continuously killed and revived, then killed again.
Honestly, his brain was almost regretting green.
He did resist, but frankly, he overestimated his strength. Under the power of the Infinity Stones, his resistance only made Fang Mo more excited.
Fang Mo even teleported Ego''s star into a sun,
Then reset it using the Time Stone.
He even materialized some vegetable oil from Pam''s Harvestcraft, adding some green onion, chili, and minced garlic, heated it till it smoked, and poured it all over Ego''s brain.
Or sealed the other''s brain in a dagger, then casually summoned a pig and inserted the sword into the pig''s intestine, realizing the famous conjecture in the science, philosophy, and amusement circles, the Brain in the Anus.
In the end,
Ego himself didn''t want to live anymore.
Fang Mo would kill him, then revive him with the Time Stone, bing more adept at controlling the Infinity Stones over time, and the efficiency of killing Ego also increased.
When Ah Xue finished making the soup,
Fang Mo had already killed Ego hundreds of times.
As for Ego, he had genuinely given up, toozy even to beg for mercy. He had be numb, waiting for Fang Mo to tire and grant him a swift end.
However, until the very end, Fang Mo did not let Ego go.
He drew a great sword and stabbed it into Ego''s core, intending to take it away.
But just at this moment,
An unexpected change urred.
Ego''s core, like a ball of dough, twisted and was sucked into the Ender Sword.
But after that, the vortex didn''t disappear; instead, it rapidly expanded, all the surrounding rocks, blood vessels, and surging blue-white energy, everything was sucked into the Ender Sword.
"What the heck??"
Even Fang Mo was stunned at this sight.
What was happening with the Ender Sword''s judgment, did it mistakenly identify the entire as Ego''s body? Wasn''t this considered a bug?
Fang Mo casually threw two carrots on the ground.
However, the vortex seemed to ept everything, and before the carrots even touched the ground, they were spun and swallowed by the Ender Sword''s vortex.
"This..."
Seeing this, Fang Mo was genuinely baffled.
Could it be that the Ender Sword really encountered some sort of bug?
Fang Mo pondered for a while and thought that there might be an issue with the Ender Sword''s capture judgment. The ''Honest Gentleman'' trait of Tinkers'' Construct, when materialized, can capture any defeated biological entity into the sword.
But Ego is not an ordinary biological entity.
He is a living.
His brain in the core is indeed his entity, but now it has grown countless biological vascrworks like blood vessels, covering the entire, perhaps this is why the Ender Sword''s capture judgment malfunctioned, considering the whole as Ego''s body.
In fact, not just Ego''s itself.
Any other object appearing on this was also judged as part of Ego.
Honestly, realizing this, even Fang Mo himself was somewhat amused. Is this considered a bug? Or is it a kind of... uh, MC''s unique trait?
But despite these thoughts,
Fang Mo''s mind was still quick.
He immediately pulled out an ender dagger, engraved a mark inside it with his mental power, and casually tossed it nearby.
Quickly, the ender dagger was sucked into the vortex.
Fang Mo closed his eyes to sense it and was actually able to perceive a mysterious coordinate.
"Can this really work?" he murmured, shocked, opening his eyes wide.
He raised his hand, and the Time Stone''s green light instantly lit up.
Everything around him began to elerate rapidly. The Ego, which was slowly being absorbed by the ender sword, vanished from the universe in less than half an hour.
Seeing this, Fang Mo immediately activated the mental coordinate in his mind.
His figure disappeared into thin air, reappearing standing on a familiar rednd.
Clearly, this was the surface of Ego, where the ender dagger was still inserted, butpared to the cosmic space before, it was now very dark.
Fang Mo looked up at the sky, pitch ck like the abyss, without stars or sunlight. The only source of light... was the light tentacles of Ego that hadn''t retracted, still twisting in mid-air, barely illuminating this world.
Obviously, this must be the sealed space inside the ender sword.
Fang Mo tried to fly upwards and easily flew out of the atmosphere. Using his teleportation ability, he quickly flew a great distance.
However, after flying a certain distance, he suddenly found grey-ck particles surrounding him.
It was like the bedrockyer of the main world. Fang Mo tentatively flew a distance inside, and soon found himself exiting from another side of space, right in front of the red-brown Ego again.
"Is it some kind of closed-loop space?" Fang Mo pondered, quickly epting this setting: "So the volume of this space is limited, flying out from the left side will return from the right, but is this volume fixed? Or does it change with the strength and size of living beings?"
"Never mind, I''ll just ask Ah Xue directly."
Shaking his head, Fang Mo was toozy to guess anymore, simply moved his mind, and teleported out using the coordinates on the Rahab sword.
