Chapter 578: Mumen Rider rejecting the offer

"Ah, this..."

Seeing that no portals were being opened around, Fang Mo scratched his head in puzzlement.

"So, what's the situation here?"

Next to him, Saitama also asked again, "Could it be that the Ancient One was killed by the aftermath of the battle? I remember she was quite powerful."

"It shouldn't be the case."

Fang Mo shook his head upon hearing this: "She's been dealing with these evil gods for a long time. Though the Cthulhu deities and dimensional demons are indeed different, it shouldn't result in her death... Anyway, I'll take a look."

Saying this, Fang Mo closed his eyes to sense her presence.

With the authority of a dimensional demon activated, Fang Mo instantly sensed the location of the Ancient One.

Clearly, as Saitama mentioned, she was not killed by the shock, but she had indeed left the mirror space, probably to avoid being accidentally injured by the aftershocks of her own battle, deciding to wait outside instead.

"Never mind... as long as she's not dead."

After confirming the Ancient One wasn't dead, Fang Mo was relieved and began trying to draw a portal in mid-air.

After some awkward attempts.

A somewhat suspicious square portal appeared in the air.

"Let's go."

After creating the portal, Fang Mo turned to Saitama and called out, "It doesn't matter if the Ancient One doesn't want to open the portal, I have my own backdoor… Come on, let's take mine."

"Your way of putting it sounds so awkward..."

Saitama immediately facepalmed and then looked strangely at the portal in the air: "Huh? Why is your backdoor square..."

"Cough, don't mind the details."

In the meantime, the two walked into the portal one after another.

However, as previously mentioned, Fang Mo's accuracy in opening portals was very poor. For instance, now, they had just stepped in, and their feet were already hanging in mid-air.

"... What the hell?"

Fang Mo was startled at first, then looked down and realized that the portal was opened thousands of meters above the ground, even far above the clouds, and below the clouds was nothing but a vast ocean, with no trace of land in sight.

"Hey?"

At the same time, Saitama's voice came from beside him: "Where have we run off to?"

"Uh... the location might be a bit off."

Fang Mo, although initially confused, quickly calmed down, as he suddenly remembered that he had another transport point here, so he simply reached back and grabbed Saitama's shoulder: "Alright, let's correct the transport coordinates, let's go…"

As soon as he finished speaking, their bodies flashed with a dark light again.

And after this transport.

Fang Mo looked up to see that they were still on the same beach as before, but compared to the previous desolate and terrifying appearance when Cthulhu descended, the scene now was sunny and bright. The setting sun cast a golden veil over the beach, giving it a different kind of beauty.

Well, of course.

That is if you ignore the mountain-like pile of poop.

Yes, just thinking about the Sea King's way of dying made Fang Mo want to laugh, knowing that he was stabbed to death by a poop sword, making it truly grim... Wait.

Fang Mo frowned slightly.

Suddenly noticing a human-shaped pit on the pile of poop.

Before beating up Cthulhu, the Sea King was buried alive in this pile of poop, but now it seemed someone had dug him out, even leaving a poop-covered shovel next to it.

"Isn't it... who would even pick up a corpse?"

Seeing this scene, frankly, Fang Mo was also a bit shocked.

But before he could think much about it, suddenly the voice of Genos came from nearby: "Mr. Fang Mo, Saitama-sensei, you're back?"

Fang Mo turned around.

Just in time to see Genos standing not far away.

Along with Genos, the Puri-Puri Prisoner, the Ancient One, the Mumen Rider were also there, and even Fang Mo saw the two agents under Doctor Genus's command.

Of course, that included the superbly built Armored Gorilla and the loli Ground Dragon.

For some reason, the Ground Dragon looked quite aggrieved at the moment, sitting on the beach with a puffed-up little face, looking almost ready to cry.

Her grey fluffy short hair was somewhat damp, and although she was still wearing her sturdy, durable uniform, her knee-high boots and over-the-knee socks had been taken off and thrown far away, and she was continuously rubbing her little feet with seawater.

The sparkling water splashed around, making her tiny toes look as white and delicate as pearls.

"Ground Dragon, Gorilla?"

Seeing these two, Fang Mo also felt a bit surprised: "How come you two are here as well?"

"Mr. Fang Mo, it's like this."

The Armored Gorilla, seeing that it was Fang Mo, immediately began to explain: "Doctor Genus saw that there was a crisis of a sea creature invasion in J City and immediately sent us to help... Although we came by car, we actually arrived quite early, it's just that we've been dealing with those sea creatures in the city all this time."

"Coming by car to fight monsters is quite something."

Fang Mo commented, then pointed to the nearby Ground Dragon: "What's her story? Why is she crying?"

"This..."

"Couldn't it be an athlete's foot?" Fang Mo, seeing the other party's demeanor, couldn't help but scratch his head and say: "I've seen those Terra people wearing this every day and never saw anyone have a problem..."

"...That's not it, Mr. Fang Mo."

The Armored Gorilla, hearing this, couldn't help but rub his forehead: "Ground Dragon was just collecting samples from the sea creatures when she accidentally stepped in poop. It's probably a bit disgusting for her, considering she's actually very clean."

"...So, was that poop pile dug up by you?"

Fang Mo couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

The Armored Gorilla nodded: "Please understand, but this was not our decision alone, we consulted with the doctor." 𝗳r𝐞𝐞w𝐞bn𝚘ve𝚕.co𝐦

"What did Doctor Genus say?"

Fang Mo asked curiously.

"He said it was okay." The Armored Gorilla said this with a somewhat strange expression: "To be honest, Mr. Fang Mo, I feel like the doctor's personality has become more and more strange, is it really okay for us to continue deceiving him like this?"

"Oh, what has he been up to lately?"

Fang Mo inquired.

"Recently, due to a lack of research materials, besides writing his ideas in his notes, he's been watching TV a lot, occasionally fiddling with that chirping strange bug."

"That's my repair chirp, not a bug, okay?"

Fang Mo rolled his eyes and said: "Never mind, I'll talk to him in person when I get back... By the way, what TV shows does he usually watch?"

The Armored Gorilla tilted his head and said: "Seems like some Kamen Rider?"

"Oh, then he's behaving normally."

Fang Mo was relieved to hear this, then waved his hand: "Okay, just go back and clean up, and directly let Doctor Genus study the Sea King, try to get a few cute sea-creature agents out, and as for Babel... I'll also find a way to rebuild the House of Evolution."

After saying these things.

Fang Mo turned his head again towards the Ancient One.

To be honest, he originally wanted to say a few words to her, but the Ancient One was currently squatting in front of the Mumen Rider, apparently trying to heal him with magic.

"..."

Fang Mo touched his head, but swallowed his words back down.

After thinking about it.

"There were no fatal injuries originally."

The Ancient One, maintaining the magic on her hands, calmly said: "But he suddenly woke up earlier, instinctively trying to struggle to stand up, and it seems to have caused internal bleeding."

"He really dares to face the monsters."

Fang Mo couldn't help but facepalm: "He doesn't hesitate even in front of dragon-level disasters, this guy really can handle it."

Saying this.

Fang Mo also pointed a finger in the air.

The gentle energy of the Netherworld spread around, and the injuries on the Mumen Rider's body visibly started healing, and as he recovered, only a groan was heard, and the Mumen Rider slowly woke up.

"Damn it! The monsters!"

Just as the Mumen Rider suddenly jolted, he immediately sat up.

However, the next second, a hand directly pressed on his shoulder, and the Mumen Rider instinctively looked up to see a black-haired man dressed in priestly attire.

"Don't worry, my disciple, those monsters have already been dealt with by your master."

The man revealed a sunny smile.

"...What?"

The Mumen Rider, hearing this, was also a bit confused, then he looked around uncertainty, and then hesitantly looked up at the other party: "I'm sorry, but do you have me mistaken for someone else?"

"You're the Mumen Rider, right?"

Fang Mo asked.

"Uh... Yes." The Mumen Rider instinctively nodded: "I'm the number one C-class active hero, the Mumen Rider."

"That's right."

Fang Mo smiled and nodded: "I'm your master, the Racial Knight."

"...Huh?"

Hearing this, the Mumen Rider was really a bit confused.

He had only been fighting monsters and then got knocked out, honestly, it wasn't the first time he had been knocked out, waking up and continuing the fight was enough, after all, he couldn't really be used for anything else, even if it was just to delay the monsters for a while, that was good too.

But this time when he woke up.

Why did he suddenly have a master?

The Mumen Rider instinctively looked around, the weather in J City had already returned to normal, it was clear that the monsters had truly been defeated, but what exactly had happened in the meantime?

"What's wrong, disciple, are you looking for your bicycle?"

Fang Mo, seeing the Mumen Rider's actions, casually pointed to the nearby pile of poop: "Your beloved bike was crushed by the Sea King, but your master helped you piece it together."

"Ah, thank you."

The Mumen Rider, hearing this, was a bit flattered and nodded his head.

But quickly, his peripheral vision suddenly noticed a man standing against the sun not far away, the man's explosive hair and muscles were so obvious that he immediately recognized him: "Hm? Is that the S-class Puri-Puri Prisoner? You... came to deal with the monsters too?"

"Yep, that's right."

The Puri-Puri Prisoner had been closing his eyes and enjoying the sun, the warm feeling on his butt was very comfortable, but now hearing the Mumen Rider's words, he opened his eyes: "But I didn't really play a role, this disaster was basically resolved by the priest bro and this bald bro..."

"Change your way of addressing me, dammit!"

Saitama couldn't help but shout: "Damn, why is Fang Mo's name so normal?"

"...Priest?" And hearing the Puri-Puri Prisoner's words, the Mumen Rider also unexpectedly looked towards Fang Mo: "You are... the newly joined S-class hero, Priest?"

"Yes."

Fang Mo, with a loving face, pulled out the Abyssal Book cosplaying as the Bible: "May... God bless you."

"Thank... Thank you for your blessing."

The Mumen Rider felt he was still a bit confused, but still politely said a word.

"No big deal." Fang Mo casually waved his hand, then said to the Mumen Rider: "Anyway, it's late today, just go home and rest, come to my place tomorrow to start training."

"Ah?"

The Mumen Rider, hearing this, was still a bit confused: "Are... are you serious?"

"I never lie..."

"But aren't they calling you Fang Mo?"

"Don't mind these details." Fang Mo said, directly waving his hand, then pointed to the Ancient One next to him: "Look, she is your senior sister, now that the mirror world has opened even dragon-level monsters can't handle her, you'll be the same once you've learned, you can even open portals for traveling, no need to ride a bicycle anymore."

"Oh right, if you really want to ride a bicycle, that's fine too."

Fang Mo suddenly remembered and said: "I just slightly modified your bicycle, now its top speed can reach about eighty miles per hour, if you train a little with me, later you can directly reach several Mach speeds."

"This..."

Hearing this, to be honest, the Mumen Rider was also a bit tempted.

You know, people always admire strength, although the Mumen Rider had accepted his own weakness, but who doesn't want to become stronger, the other party is a top combat power of the Hero Association, a legendary S-class hero.

The other party saying he wanted to take him as a disciple, to be honest, the Mumen Rider was tempted, that's for sure.

But after he thought about it seriously for a while, he ultimately went against his own inner desire, apologetically bowed to Fang Mo.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Priest."

The Mumen Rider very sincerely said: "I'm very thankful that you chose me, but I might really not be able to become your disciple."

"Nani?"
