Chapter 31: Chapter 30
Fang Mo, now awakened with Stand Steve, felt a gentle warmth permeating his digitized body and pondered, "Hmm? What is this sensation?"
Having been digitized for a considerable period, Fang Mo had long forgotten what it felt like.
With a skeptical gaze fixed upon the green pulp lying on the ground, he questioned, "Could this thing truly be of use?"
After masticating the Experience Berry, the once vibrant and translucent green pulp lost its vitality, transforming into a sticky, lifeless mass.
Deep in thought, Fang Mo stared at the unappetizing substance before him.
"Damn it, let's give it another shot!" he exclaimed, firmly resolving himself.
With unwavering determination, Steve handed him another string of crystal-clear Essence Berries.
Fang Mo held his breath and swallowed the entire string of berries without chewing, feeling the cool juice cascading down his throat.
Instantly, a strange surge of power coursed through his body, reminiscent of jumping into a hot spring after a freezing winter night. It relieved all fatigue and provided unparalleled comfort.
Fang Mo couldn't discern if his digitized body possessed muscles, blood, or cells, but he sensed an elated presence within him, as if celebrating his rebirth. It was an intoxicating feeling.
However, the sensation faded quickly, leaving Fang Mo hesitating.
The experience was truly worth savoring, but the addiction to consuming berries posed a problem. Despite their disgusting taste, the Essence Berries confirmed Fang Mo's suspicions about their ability to enhance his strength.
Although he had only consumed one Essence Berry, Fang Mo could sense that he had become slightly stronger than before.
Realizing his inclination towards this addictive habit, Fang Mo facepalmed in self-disappointment.
The Minecraft world provided an abundant supply of Essence Berries, and Fang Mo had brought an entire group of Essence Berry bushes with him. However, the thought of swallowing such repugnant-tasting things in large quantities was difficult to accept.
After a period of internal struggle, Fang Mo's desire for power ultimately triumphed over his taste buds' protests.
With determination, Fang Mo pinched his nose and forced the Essence Berries into his mouth one by one. Eerie swallowing sounds echoed in the room, overwhelming even Fang Mo himself.
To alleviate the overwhelming taste, Fang Mo had Steve retrieve two baked potatoes. He chewed them while observing the changes in his body.
Indeed, after consuming the entire group of Essence Berries, Fang Mo underwent a noticeable transformation. The surging power within him was unmistakable.
In this moment, he felt incredibly powerful like never before.
"Now, let's put it to the test," Fang Mo decided, pondering for a brief moment.
With a single thought, he summoned Steve, who immediately placed a cobblestone on the ground.
Without hesitation, Fang Mo swung his fist forward like a lightning bolt. The sturdy rock cracked with a loud bang, forming deep fissures and countless stones that launched like projectiles, shattering the room's partitions.
The loud noise attracted a swarm of approaching footsteps from outside the room.
"What's going on?" Agent Coulson hurriedly rushed in, followed by Hawkeye. Their faces were filled with vigilance as they scanned the surroundings for enemies.
A group of agents flooded in, bewildered by the absence of any signs of a battle.
"Did that guy come to attack us?" Coulson asked, puzzled.
Preparing to explain, Fang Mo rubbed his chin and said, "I know you're anxious, but don't worry for now..."
Interrupting, Coulson's anxiety evident in his voice, he asked, "Did he come to take the hammer? How powerful is he? Did you get hurt?"
Reassuringly, Fang Mo smiled and said, "I'm invincible. Thor hasn't come to steal the hammer yet. This is a new magic I just researched called 'Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist'."
Hawkeye chimed in, unable to resist commenting, "That name doesn't sound much like magic. It sounds more like martial arts."
Dismissing their concerns with a wave of his hand, Fang Mo said, "Don't worry about those details. Anything that science can't explain is all magic!"
Coulson's relief was evident after hearing Fang Mo's explanation. He said, "I was worried he would descend from the sky, wield his hammer, and blast us into ashes with lightning before leaving coolly..."
Smirking, Fang Mo said, "Don't worry, his powers are sealed. He's full of crap. He's probably just slightly stronger than an average person. One gunshot can kill him, so you don't have to worry too much."
Speculating, Coulson pondered, "His powers are sealed in this hammer? He's trying to get it back to restore his divine power?"
Confirming, Fang Mo said, "He can't lift this hammer. He got punished by his dad because he got too cocky. It's like a trial or something. If he can't complete it, he can never restore his divine power."
Raising a question, Hawkeye asked, "Then why did he come here?"
Shrugging, Fang Mo replied, "He doesn't even know about all this. Not everyone can read fortunes, you know. How many people in this world have my level of insight into the mysteries of the heavens and the earth, the yin and yang, and the fortunes and misfortunes, from the highest heavens to the deepest abyss?"
At a loss for words, Coulson was about to respond when an agent rushed over, whispering in Coulson's ear about a suspicious vehicle parked nearby on the hillside and seeking instructions.
Receiving the report, Coulson looked at Fang Mo and said, "Well, it seems that guy has really come this time."
