[This Chapter Is Sponsored by Cade Atkinson! Everyone, please thank him in the comment!]

"MotherF*cker, Stop!"

Upon witnessing the energy cannon launched by Genos, Fang Mo was instantly shocked.

Without a moment to spare, Fang Mo immediately immersed his consciousness into his storage space and activated the power of the Sword of Time, exclaiming, "Za Warudo!"

A spherical time field rapidly expanded outward, freezing everything in that instant. Fang Mo hurriedly flew over, first slapping the energy cannon, sending it spinning into the air, and then heaving a sigh of relief, silently canceling the time stop.

Time resumed its flow.

The dull world regained its colors.

The formidable incendiary cannon was slapped by Fang Mo into the air, resembling a massive firework that disappeared into the clouds.

It was a long while before a dull booming sound came from the clouds.

"…Hmm?"

Genos, upon seeing this, seemed stunned as well.

"What are you doing?" At that moment, Saitama also turned to look at him: "Why did you suddenly start attacking without any reason?"

"Sensei, because this way, all the enemies can be wiped out at once."

Facing Saitama, Genos earnestly explained: "I call it efficiency."

"…You're a bit too extreme."

(TL: Like Kagura?)

Hearing this, Saitama couldn't help but comment, but soon he shook his head: "Well, I guess the enemies must have prepared in advance, anyway, let's first... uh, what is he doing now?"

He had barely finished speaking.

Saitama looked bewilderedly forward.

Genos, hearing this, also subconsciously looked up, only to see Fang Mo caressing the white exterior walls of the House of Evolution, his touch gentle, his face seemingly filled with a mysterious affection as if the wall were not merely plaster, but the skin of a beloved.

"This…"

Upon seeing this, Genos was clearly stunned.

His personality was originally very straightforward and even a bit dull, and even a CPU overload could not comprehend Fang Mo's actions at that moment.

However, fortunately, a woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind him at that moment.

"Maybe he's just looking for some fun."

Both turned to see that the speaker was the bald woman, Ancient One, whose expression was quite calm: "To alleviate boredom, he occasionally does some utterly outrageous things, but please make sure not to disturb his mood at this time... otherwise, the outcome will be very grim."

"How grim?"

Curious, Saitama asked.

"Maybe worse than death…"

However, before Ancient One could finish her sentence, Fang Mo suddenly stopped his actions, turned over, and landed back on the ground, chuckling as he interrupted her: "Probably turned into a tool for fun, all smiles transferred to my face... and then becoming a famously unsmiling person."

"Pff…"

Hearing Fang Mo's description, Saitama burst out laughing: "What kind of bizarre description is that?"

"…"

And beside him, Genos, hearing this, instead furrowed his brow.

In fact, being a person who rarely smiles himself, Genos could not understand what fun was, feeling as if Fang Mo was subtly mocking him.

As Genos pondered this.

Ancient One also curiously looked at Fang Mo.

"Your mood seems good, did something happy happen?"

"Yes, yes."

Facing Ancient One's inquiry, Fang Mo openly admitted: "Just now, I suddenly discovered a paradise in this world, truly, one's luck changes for the better when one has a partner... Why don't you find a partner too? I know a place in Pimp Alley that specializes in matchmaking, I'll write you a recommendation next time."

"Sorry, I don't need a partner."

Ancient One's expression clearly darkened, obviously not wanting to discuss this topic, so she straightforwardly shifted the conversation: "So the paradise you're talking about, is it here?"

"Correct! It's this House of Evolution!"

Fang Mo nodded emphatically, then began to declare: "Just now, I suddenly felt that the philosophy of the House of Evolution was just right…"

"…"

Before Fang Mo could finish speaking.

Ancient One felt a headache coming on again.

Honestly, had she known it would be like this, she would have preferred to be killed by Kaecilius in one stroke rather than accepting this ludicrous proposal from him to witness other universes and seek meaning and fun in a strange world...

Ancient One felt she was now just a source of amusement.

But speaking of which, does Fang Mo really agree with the philosophy of the House of Evolution?

He agrees my ass. What does human evolution have to do with him? Fang Mo's previous statement was merely because the House of Evolution offered so much.

In fact, from the beginning, Fang Mo had considered following the original storyline of One Punch Man.

After all, the storyline on that side is quite classic, except for the author's sudden illness in the later reset version, there's hardly any dull moment; following the storyline even as just watching a movie is thrilling, but… the House of Evolution is too tempting, Fang Mo then just let himself go and exploited the mods, if things go south, Saitama is still there to cover for him.

Yes, the unlockable mods in this place are ridiculously plentiful.

Fang Mo, just standing here, could hear a series of system notification sounds.

For instance, just now, he merely touched the building's exterior wall, and immediately a mod unlock sound echoed in his mind.

[System Notification: Concepts such as 'Lower Monsters,' 'Ordinary Monsters,' 'Top-tier Monsters,' 'Level System,' 'Combat Buildings' researched, you have obtained download permission for a new mod.]

[System Notification: Battle Tower Mod begins downloading.]

[System Notification: Battle Tower Mod downloaded completely, load it?]

[System Notification: Mod loaded successfully.]

[System Notification: Since you have downloaded and run a brand-new mod, you have obtained a lucky block, which will randomly draw an item from any known mod.]

AtomicStryker's Battle Towers, as the name suggests.

This is a mod whose content is clear from its name.

Unlike large-scale tech mods, the Battle Tower is a small-scale adventure mod.

It generates several stone towers randomly on the MC map, each floor populated with different monsters and monster spawners, and each floor contains a reward box, while the top floor features a boss called the Tower Golem.

Of course, the reward on the top floor is the most generous.

However, sneaky tactics are not allowed; to obtain the top-floor reward, one must defeat the Tower Golem.

Fang Mo had played this mod several times in his early years, but at that time there were too many powerful mods in the server; clad in Chaos Craft armor, he would fly in from the sky, kill the Tower Golem with one strike, collect the rewards, and fly away, the entire process not even taking a second.

Compared to the regular approach.

His method was a dimensional reduction attack.

"From now on, this place shall be known as Fang Mo's Home!" Fang Mo said, thumbing toward himself: "So I must fight for this home… Huh?"

Mid-sentence, Fang Mo seemed to recall something.

And under everyone's gaze, he suddenly pulled out a baby still in swaddling clothes like a magician, then after playing with the big-nosed baby for a bit, he slowly raised it above his head like that from Lion King and uttered.

"...So I must fight for this home!"

To be honest.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

Especially Genos, at this moment he felt his brain was overheating, mouth agape for a long while before he managed to ask: "But... Mr. Fang Mo, where did this child come from?"

"Oh, traded it for an emerald."

Fang Mo said, and then casually stuffed the child back into the pure white timespace.

Indeed, it was a villager's child; initially, to expand Ego Planet, Fang Mo had indeed invested a lot of manpower and resources, including realistically manifested MC creatures.

"So you're planning to join the House of Evolution?"

Unlike Genos, Saitama didn't pay much attention to the details, just scratching his head in confusion at the moment: "Isn't that an illegal organization? Are you really going to join them?"

"I…"

Fang Mo was about to speak when the ground suddenly shook violently.

Immediately after, the tower of the House of Evolution behind Fang Mo exploded, dust billowing and huge stones flying everywhere, smashing many surrounding trees.

"Mr. Fang Mo, your house is gone."

Seeing this, Genos was stunned for a moment, but then turned to remind Fang Mo.

"I saw it a long time ago..."

In fact, Fang Mo's face was also dark at the moment; although the battle tower had been unlocked, who knew if there were other mods in the building that could still be unlocked, now that it had exploded, everything was ruined.

But before the others could say anything.

Soon, a powerful presence emanated from the smoke.

Followed by dull footsteps, a huge figure slowly emerged.

"It's an enemy!"

Genos, equipped with a life-sensing device, reacted immediately, turning to take a defensive stance: "Saitama-sensei, Mr. Fang Mo, there are two life readings ahead!"

"I saw it..."

Fang Mo, with a dark face, slowly turned around.

And just then, a breeze blew through the woods, clearing some of the lingering smoke and exposing the enemy.

The enemy looked extremely exaggerated, resembling a very large insect-like creature, somewhat like a rhinoceros beetle, its entire carapace glossy black, with a horn-like fork on its head but a human-like face below.

Overall, this creature looked like a product of genetic engineering, different from previous creatures like the Beast King or Mosquito Girl, emitting a crazy, brutal aura.

But it's worth mentioning.

This rhinoceros beetle-like terrifying monster was holding a human in a white lab coat, who also looked miserable, covered in blood, with a broken nose and blood spraying from his nostrils, his glasses having slid down to his mouth, appearing very disheveled.

"This guy…"

Genos, seeing the opponent, seemed to recognize him: "Could it be the leader of the House of Evolution? That Doctor?"

Since they had previously interrogated the Armored Gorilla.

So everyone had some information about the House of Evolution.

But the scene before them was clearly a bit off; logically speaking, if the doctor was the leader, why would he be beaten bloody by his own creation?

But just then.

The rhinoceros beetle monster also spoke.

"It's them, right?"

The rhinoceros beetle monster first sized up the people in front of him, then asked the doctor he was holding: "Which one is your target?"

"That bald one."

Although the doctor was continuously spitting blood, he responded quickly, saying without thinking as his gaze fell on the several people across from him, but he himself was also stunned: "Huh... why is there another bald one?"

"You better make it clear."

The rhinoceros beetle monster cruelly smiled: "If you pick the wrong one... hehehe, you'll have to piece together your experiment materials from a pile of flesh."

"Anyway, it's that man."

Ignoring the rhinoceros beetle monster's remarks, the doctor quickly said: "It's that bald man in a cape, as for the others, you can kill them too, just to vent your desire to kill."

"I was waiting for you to say that."

The rhinoceros beetle monster cruelly laughed, then suddenly charged and disappeared from the spot.

"What? So fast!"

Genos was shocked, barely having time to defend himself before being kicked by the opponent and sent flying, his body bursting open, scattering parts all over the ground, and as for himself, he crashed into a mountainside, embedding himself into it.

"I was… careless…"

Genos spat out some machine oil, struggling to say: "Saitama-sensei, Mr. Fang Mo, and Lady Ancient One, please be careful…"

"Even being careful is useless, you're all going to die here today."

The distant Carnage Kabuto suddenly grinned evilly, raising his wheel-like right hand and smashing it towards Ancient One: "To differentiate between the bald ones, I'll flatten your head first!"

"…"

Ancient One didn't speak, directly raising her hand to form a spell.

However, just as she started, the orange magic circle in her hand seemed to go out like a flame, flickering twice then extinguishing.

Luckily, Ancient One's reaction speed was fast enough, almost instantly switching to another spell, the orange magic circle immediately replaced by a green one, and the rhinoceros beetle monster's fist heavily smashed into this magic circle, but it only caused a slight ripple, not harming Ancient One in the slightest.

"Hmm?"

The rhinoceros beetle monster was also taken aback.

But before he could react further, a circular portal suddenly appeared under his feet, and he fell through, only to be ejected from the air hundreds of meters away.

Ancient One waved her hand, and the magic of the Abyssal Dimension immediately activated.

Abyssal Wasteland Asorah, the Fallen Locks.

Several magic circles appeared behind Ancient One, bright cyan abyssal energy transformed into several energy locks, shooting towards the rhinoceros beetle monster in mid-air.

Sensing the impending danger, the rhinoceros beetle monster hastily crossed his arms in front of him.

However, Ancient One was, after all, a Sorcerer Supreme, and if she really wanted to fight, even Thanos would have to yield to her; at this moment, her abyssal magic bombarded the rhinoceros beetle monster, no matter how hard its carapace was, harder than alloy, it all burst open at this moment, body fluids spraying out like plasma, the creature suffering heavy damage in just one strike.

"Damn! You idiot, you must have recognized the wrong person!"

Pained, the rhinoceros beetle monster roared at the doctor in mid-air: "That male bald one must be trash, this female bald one is the monster!"

"It can't be, that guy clearly killed Mosquito..."

The Doctor started to argue back, but the rhinoceros beetle monster, already insane, didn't listen at all, turning sharply in mid-air: "Forget it, let's get rid of the other trash first, and then enjoy killing this female bald one slowly!"

After saying that, he shot towards Fang Mo like a cannonball.

"…Ah?"

Fang Mo, seeing this, was clearly stunned.

But at the same time, another prompt sounded in his mind.
