Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 604: Garou's Arc is here!

Indeed, it is Boros.

Initially in the Mirror Space of A City, Boros was indeed shot dead by Fang Mo's serious shot.

But as mentioned earlier, Boros's character design is somewhat likable. Although he is a cosmic overlord, he is purely a battle fanatic without much guile, quite unlike characters such as Frieza or Thanos.

If one must make a comparison, he is more similar to Zaraki Kenpachi, the eleventh division captain from Bleach.

Fang Mo actually quite likes such characters. After giving it some thought, he simply used abyssal magic to resurrect Boros.

At first, right after being resurrected.

Boros seemed a bit confused.

However, after Fang Mo explained the situation to him, he quickly accepted this setting.

According to Boros, although he had a satisfying battle before he died, to be honest, he hadn't had enough fun yet when he was killed by Fang Mo... That was too much of a loss.

Now that he has been resurrected, doesn't that mean he can challenge Fang Mo again?

Of course, Boros is not the only one who thinks this way.

In fact, even Fang Mo, by resurrecting Boros, did so for this very reason... which is to lure him into the pure white space-time and use him as a sparring partner.

After all, Fang Mo is a PvP player.

Although he does cheat, but that's only against dungeon bosses.

For instance, it's quite similar to when he played DNF in his previous life.

When Fang Mo encounters those annoying mechanic monsters while grinding maps, he would not hesitate to cheat to defeat them. However, when he entered the PvP arena, he fought earnestly and never cheated.

And truth be told, Boros's combat ability is indeed quite formidable.

If Fang Mo doesn't use Tinker' Construct and equivalent exchange items, it would not be easy to defeat him.

"Hey, Fang Mo."

As Fang Mo was pondering these things, Boros, as if sensing something, spoke up: "How about we have another fight after breakfast?"

"Oh, okay."

Fang Mo chewed on his star-embedded toast, making crunching sounds: "Let Ancient One open a mirror space later. This time I won't use the Longbow, I'll try a different tactic."

"Haha, I can't wait."

Boros, hearing Fang Mo's agreement, immediately laughed excitedly: "If I had known earlier that Earth had someone like you, I would have ordered my spaceship to advance at full speed, at least arriving on Earth about five years earlier."

"Five years earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Then Earth might really have been doomed..."

"Why?"

Boros was also startled upon hearing this.

"Because I hadn't arrived five years ago." Fang Mo spread his hands: "I just got here half a month ago, just a little before you did."

"Ah?"

Boros scratched his head: "Then... What about Saitama? Didn't you say he was also very strong? I wanted to challenge him yesterday but you stopped me."

"Saitama seems to have only gone bald... and become strong these past two years."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Mo said: "If you had come five years ago, he would have been just an ordinary person. I guess no one on Earth could have stopped you then. Maybe Blast could have bumped into you, but I haven't seen his real strength, so I'm not sure."

"Oh, is that so?"

Hearing this, Boros seemed to smile as well: "That kind of feels like what the prophet said, what's that word... Oh right, fate."

"Maybe."

Fang Mo noncommittally shrugged. He didn't believe in fate at all; if fate were real, Boros would have been defeated by Saitama's punch long ago.

Or to put it another way, Fang Mo came here specifically to disrupt fate.

Shaking his head, Fang Mo then gulped down his milk.

Then he turned his head to look at Ancient One: "Alright, I'm done eating, just open a mirror spac..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Suddenly, a bell rang at the door.

"Hmm?"

This unexpected doorbell sound caught the attention of everyone eating, even the three operatives under the doctor stopped their hearty meals.

"...Who is that?"

Fang Mo instinctively looked at the mini-map, only to see a completely unfamiliar chibi avatar, not someone he knew, so he simply motioned to Ah Xue to go and open the door.

Ah Xue nodded obediently and walked towards the door.

Soon the door was opened.

A man in a suit stood at the door.

"Good day, Mr. Priest." The visitor was quite polite, bowing first upon seeing Fang Mo, before continuing: "I am a senior liaison from the Hero Association."

"A liaison?"

Fang Mo nodded, then slowly walked towards the door: "What about the others who came before?"

"They were attacked by monsters on their way here."

The visitor sighed: "I'm afraid, Mr. Priest, the area you live in is the most dangerous uninhabited zone in Z City, often plagued by monsters, and they are just ordinary people... encountering danger is inevitable."

"Oh, I see."

Fang Mo nodded: "Are they seriously injured? And what brings you here this time?"

"They've only sustained some minor external injuries, nothing serious."

The senior liaison said: "As for my visit... It mainly concerns the matter of Hero Hunter. Have you heard about it?"

"Hero Hunter?"

Upon hearing these words, Fang Mo quickly reacted.

Yes, this so-called Hero Hunter is another major event following the invasion of Earth by Boros, occurring concurrently with the Monster Association event.

As for the Hero Hunter mentioned by the association's liaison, it refers to an old acquaintance.

That is, the rebel Garou.

Because Garou was forced to play the role of a monster during his childhood hero games, then brutally beaten by the "heroes", and after fighting back, was beaten up by everyone, even scolded by his teacher for not being able to take the game and not distinguishing between the game and reality, he eventually became somewhat twisted.

Now, the situation is basically that Garou has always harbored a deep hatred for heroes, finding them hypocritical and disgusting. Now that he has mastered martial arts, he has begun hunting other heroes.

To be honest, Fang Mo's view of Garou is surprisingly in sync with Saitama.

The child is ignorant.

Maybe just a beating would fix him.

But to be fair, One Punch Man is an anime from Japan, and as for the bullying culture in Japanese schools... Honestly, Fang Mo finds it quite disgusting.

Unlike adults, the evil in children can sometimes be very pure.

Fang Mo was also bullied by classmates as a child, but he was not just a PvP player in games; he was in real life too, catching a leader and beating him to near death, almost gouging out his eyes, and afterward, naturally, no one dared to bully him anymore. However, Fang Mo was also isolated by everyone, but he went home and went online, finding online friends much more interesting than classmates, so he didn't feel bad about it.

But Garou's situation is clearly different.

His resistance wasn't fierce enough, or perhaps the bullying culture in Japan is culturally different from where Fang Mo was... In the end, he was still tortured by bullying into a twisted mentality, and now that he's stronger, he's out challenging heroes to duels.

However, although Garou is hunting heroes, he has never killed any, at most just crippling them.

Perhaps that's why the original Saitama didn't take real action against him.

Probably because he thought there was still hope for him.

But no matter what, Garou is indeed quite unscrupulous, and also because he crippled other disciples in Bang's dojo, leading to Bang's dojo being empty, preventing anyone from inheriting his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.

"Hmm... wait, Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist?"

Thinking of Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, Fang Mo suddenly reacted.

Previously, when at the Hero Association headquarters, he seemed to have triggered a punching module, but then Atomic Samurai interrupted him and he forgot about it. It seems he really needs to find Bang now.

Other things aside.

He must use this fist today.

"Mr. Priest."

As Fang Mo was deep in thought, the association's liaison spoke again: "Looking at your expression... You have heard about Hero Hunter, haven't you?"

"Oh, I have heard."

Hearing this, Fang Mo also nodded naturally: "It's that guy who's always singing a different tune from the heroes, right? What does the association plan to do?"

"The association hadn't really paid much attention to him."

The liaison said: "After all, being a hero... indeed brings many enemies, and it's normal to be occasionally attacked. We don't specifically manage the personal enmities of heroes."

"But if it were just a B-class hero, it would be fine, this kind of thing has happened before."

Here, the liaison's expression became a bit strange: "But just yesterday, Hero Hunter attacked an S-class hero and successfully sent him to the hospital."

"What? Even an S-class hero is in trouble?!"

Before Fang Mo could respond, a nearby Mumen Rider suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "May I be so bold to ask? Which S-class hero was it?"

"Uh..."

The liaison also glanced at Mumen Rider: "You are...?"

"Hello, I am the number one C-class, Mumen Rider." Mumen Rider introduced himself, but soon he awkwardly scratched his head: "Uh... but I haven't been active as a hero for a long time, perhaps I've already fallen from the top of C-class."

"You are Mumen Rider?"

The liaison was obviously a bit surprised, especially since Mumen Rider wasn't wearing his equipment, so he didn't recognize him right away: "Why are you here? We thought you had been attacked."

"Oh, he is my second disciple."

Fang Mo waved his hand and said: "He's currently in seclusion training here, you can just speak directly to me."

"... Is that so?"

The liaison was a bit surprised, as he hadn't received any information about S-class hero priest taking disciples.

However, since the matter was urgent, he continued directly: "The person who was attacked is Tanktop Master from the S-class heroes, apparently Hero Hunter first attacked several people from the Tanktop crew, and then Tanktop Master went to their aid, resulting in his injury, now he's in the hospital receivi..."

Before he could finish.

The liaison's phone suddenly rang.

"Sorry."

He apologetically glanced at Fang Mo, then flipped open his phone to look, suddenly showing a shocked expression: "This... what?!"

"What's wrong?"

Fang Mo curiously asked.

"Not good, Mr. Priest."

The liaison's expression clearly became a bit tense, looking up at Fang Mo: "Just now, I received news that another S-class hero, Super Alloy Darkshine... has also been sent to the hospital."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Fang Mo was indeed a bit surprised.

In the original, Garou did indeed defeat Darkshine, but that was much later, when Garou was starting to monsterize, which was a completely different level of strength from now.

However, it's just the beginning now, and he's already defeated Darkshine?

"Currently, the association has issued an order."

As Fang Mo was considering this, the liaison spoke up: "Hero Hunter has now been officially designated as a threat, with a threat level of... Dragon."

"Oh, is that so?"

Fang Mo nodded, probably the association's previous definition was Demon level, since Tanktop Master, being the weakest of the S-class, had only Demon-level strength, but Super Alloy Darkshine was different, being a top ten S-class hero, probably on the Dragon level.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Mo also spoke up: "Okay, I understand, I'll go out for a walk recently, and if I happen to encounter him, I'll just kill him."

"Then I ask for your help."

The association's liaison bowed again: "Then I'll take my leave now."

"Wait."

Seeing the other party ready to leave, Fang Mo suddenly called him back, then threw a small package his way: "Take this."

"This is..."

The association's liaison, puzzled, opened the package, only to find several bottles of potions and several heavy gold nuggets, and was immediately stunned: "Mr. Priest, what is this?"

"One part is for you, the rest is for the others, consider it workers' compensation."

Fang Mo nonchalantly waved his hand: "Go ahead, make sure you deliver the items to the hospital... But let me say this up front, I know what your association is like, but if anyone dares to embezzle this stuff, I'll personally blow up the Hero Association headquarters tomorrow."

"You are..."

Hearing this, the other party's expression also changed a bit, looking at Fang Mo with a mix of admiration and excitement, sincerely bowing: "On their behalf... I thank you for this valuable gift!"

After thanking him.

The association's senior liaison quickly left.

After all, he had said earlier, this place is the most dangerous uninhabited zone in Z City, and staying too long, even for him, could be dangerous.

However, what Fang Mo didn't expect was.

Just as the liaison had left, and before Fang Mo could turn around and say something to Boros, two more figures appeared outside the courtyard.

However, this time the visitors were not just any passersby.

On the contrary, Fang Mo's eyes lit up upon seeing these two.

Because the visitors to the villa this time were none other than Bang, who was distressed by the Garou affair, and behind him followed a spirited old man.
