Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 345: Chapter 342: This is Makima's Heart

Regarding the Cthulhu mythos, Fang Mo is not entirely ignorant.

In his early years, when he played another sandbox game, Terraria, with friends, it contained many elements from the Cthulhu series. Fang Mo was quite immersed in the game at that time, so he specifically researched related materials. During that period, the Cthulhu elements were quite popular, and many commentators (YouTubers) were riding on its popularity. Thus, while eating instant noodles, Fang Mo watched some videos and learned quite a bit about this topic.

If I remember correctly, Shoggoth should originate from the creatures in the Mountains of Madness. The Elder Beings, using the cells of the Outer God and 'Ultimate Ancestor', Ubbo-Sathla, created Shoggoth and controlled it through hypnotic suggestion, turning Shoggoth into an indefatigable slave.

However, after countless divisions and reproductions, Shoggoth suddenly had an epiphany. They no longer wanted to be slaves, so they constantly rebelled against the Elder Beings and ultimately succeeded in completely consuming them.

The above is the depiction of Shoggoth in the Cthulhu novels. Many joke that Shoggoths are "25th children" because they like to betray their masters.

But the Shoggoth in Fang Mo's hands is not from the Cthulhu mythology, but a unique creature from the MC mod, the AbyssalCraft.

Once MC creatures are materialized, Fang Mo is their only absolute object of loyalty. This is not a hypnotic suggestion, but an inviolable supreme law, similar to 'materialization', which even Fang Mo himself cannot reverse.

Long ago in the Marvel Universe, Fang Mo used MC creatures for related tests. He summoned a villager and then used the Mind Stone to command him to defy himself. However, it was futile; an unprecedented powerful force instantly dissolved the Mind Stone's suggestion.

Therefore, Fang Mo is quite confident about Shoggoth. Currently, this little guy is in its infancy, with very simple thinking. It just chirps and stretches out its tentacles to touch Fang Mo, expressing simple emotions like "master" and "like".

It's... quite innocent. Fang Mo really likes this childlike innocence. So, he directly took out some raw meat steaks and started feeding Shoggoth. The basin-sized steak thudded onto Shoggoth, who contracted its body and let out a chirp. Then, it tentatively touched the steak with a few tentacles and started chirping at Fang Mo.

This chirping contained a hint of confusion, probably not understanding why Fang Mo hit it with something.

"This is food, it's Tauren meat," Fang Mo explained a bit: "Try it. If you like it, I'll get you more next time. My box is almost full of these things."

"Chirp!"

Shoggoth made a sound, and then the steaks sank into its body.

The steaks began to decompose at a visible speed, like melting butter, and soon they disappeared, replaced by Shoggoth's excited chirps.

"Ji! Ji!"

After eating something, Shoggoth seemed to become happier.

It began to move around the room, occasionally poking the bedside table with its tentacles, or rolling the bedsheet into its body, digesting and decomposing it, displaying a nature full of curiosity.

Fang Mo smiled and didn't continue to pay attention to it.

Now that there was plenty of time, Fang Mo planned to materialize a few more items.

Thus, with a thought, a bizarre blue-green statue appeared directly in Steve's hands, and Fang Mo reached out to touch the statue, intending to materialize it.

However, at that moment.

The entire eighth floor of the hotel suddenly shook violently.

An extremely unpleasant, hoarse cry came from outside the door, followed by a change in the gravity on the eighth floor, as if it had tilted ninety degrees, and everything in the room smashed against the wall on the right.

Even Shoggoth, who was constantly exploring, thudded against the wall, emitting a "ji" sound.

"Damn, my newly acquired Shoggoth!"

Seeing this scene, Fang Mo became somewhat displeased.

So, he kicked open the room door and quickly stepped into the hallway.

It's worth mentioning that Fang Mo himself can control gravity, so he was not affected by the change in gravity's direction.

When he reached the hallway, he saw that the rotten flesh not far away had swelled quite a bit, now filling most of the eighth floor, like a wall of flesh, with many disgusting human heads growing on it, all laughing madly and roaring.

"Quick! Let me devour the heart of the chainsaw!"

Fang Mo ignored this thing and walked directly towards the room where Hayakawa Aki was.

However, before Fang Mo could reach the place, he heard various arguments and fighting noises inside. Fang Mo looked in and saw Hayakawa Aki holding his stomach, sweating, with a knife wound that had appeared at some point.

Not far away, Himeno was already scared silly, kneeling on the ground with a face full of despair and dullness.

Meanwhile, Kobeni was holding a knife, also screaming in fright, crying and saying to Denji beside her, "It's all... all your fault! It would have been better if you were just eaten by the Devil!"

"What, are you guys sick or something?"

Seeing this scene, Fang Mo finally couldn't help but speak, "Are you seriously infighting at a time like this?"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone instinctively looked towards the door, only to see Fang Mo standing there, seemingly unaffected by gravity, which left them all momentarily stunned.

"Right... Right!" Himeno was the first to react, hastily running over and shouting, "Happy Devil! I want to make a contract with you, anything is fine, please kill that Devil!"

"Wait... Wait! Himeno-senpai!"

Hayakawa Aki, sweating profusely with a pained expression, quickly tried to intervene: "I should handle this matter, please don't..."

"Making a Contract?"

Seeing this, Fang Mo touched his chin and said, "However, your purity is somewhat low, the cost of making a Contract with me will be high, is that okay with you?"

"I..."

"I said let me do it!"

Hayakawa Aki, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, yelled, "Fang Mo! I am the one who really made a contract with you, you should prioritize fulfilling our pact!"

"Look at how much pain the child is in." Fang Mo said with a smile, "How about you first pay 1000 pain points, and I'll go buy you some ibuprofen? This stuff is in high demand right now..."

"Do you think that's what I'm lacking right now!?"

Hayakawa Aki couldn't help but shout, "Quick, find a way to kill that damned Devil!"

"Then don't regret later if you have a headache."

After hearing this, Fang Mo agreed with a smile, then turned to look towards the Eternity Devil not far away.

"Hehehe, do you think you can kill me?"

The Eternity Devil also heard this conversation, but it was not afraid; instead, it began to laugh sinisterly, "This is my stomach, you cannot possibly defeat me..."

"You say this is your stomach?"

After hearing what the other party said, Fang Mo also started to laugh, "Then... how about learning about gallstones?"

"What?"

The Eternity Devil was startled.

"Finish him off, smart guy." Fang Mo couldn't be bothered to continue talking nonsense with the other party, and directly took out his simple-state greatsword, releasing the bedrock golem inside.

A flash of white light, and the huge, gray-black stone statue smashed down onto the Eternity Devil.

The Eternity Devil didn't seem to react much, and when it suddenly saw something falling, it opened its mouth to catch it, instantly swallowing the lower half of the bedrock golem, and then bit down hard with its two rows of large teeth.

As a result, these two rows of teeth were instantly shattered.

On the other hand, the bedrock golem didn't even have a single mark on it.

"This... what?!"

The Eternity Devil was also stunned.

However, just at this moment, the bedrock golem slowly lowered its head to look at the Eternity Devil.

"..."

For some reason, the Eternity Devil suddenly felt the other's anger. Yes, although it looked like a stone statue, it somehow felt the fury of the other party.

In the next second, the huge black-grey hand forcefully slammed down.

The Eternity Devil didn't have time to react before its body exploded into a bloodbath.

With just this one blow, countless limbs were crushed into pulp by the immense force. However, this place was, after all, the stomach of the Eternity Devil, and soon these flesh and blood reformed into limbs and started to attack the bedrock golem.

The Eternity Devil, roaring, bit towards the bedrock golem.

Then its teeth were shattered, and these toothless heads started to continuously scream, "Ah... it hurts..."

Immediately after, the Eternity Devil transformed countless arms, attempting to attack the bedrock golem, but these arms were also smashed into a bloody mess, and the bedrock golem remained unscathed.

On the other hand, the bedrock golem...

With a casual swing of his big bag, he could make the Eternity Devil explode into a rain of blood.

"Ouch, it hurts so much..."

Seeing this, the Eternity Devil also felt a bit helpless: "What the heck is this thing! Why is it so hard!!!"

"Silly child, this is the heart of Makima."

Fang Mo, who was watching the drama unfold, chuckled and replied, "This woman's heart, the more you lick it, the harder it gets. If you don't believe it, try biting it a few more times."

"Eh?"

Denji, who was also watching from not too far away, seemed stunned for a moment: "Is a woman's heart really like that?"

But before he could figure it out,

Another scream came from the Eternity Devil below.

As for Fang Mo, he slowly walked into the guest room where the others were.

"All done."

Fang Mo clapped his hands towards Hayakawa Aki and said, "Anyway, just wait a little longer, and this Devil will be in so much pain that it will want to kill itself. Now, it's time for us to discuss the payment."

"What do you want to do?"

Hayakawa Aki looked at Fang Mo and asked.

"Oh, nothing much."

Fang Mo smiled and waved his hand: "It's just that I think there are too many people in this world who keep dogs, so I also want to follow the trend and keep one. Now that we're on the subject, let me introduce you to my newly adopted little dog."

Saying this, Fang Mo turned his head and called out into the corridor.

"Shoggoth!"
