Chapter 438: One Punch Man

With a rough idea in mind,

Fang Mo quickly began to craft the tool.

The Tinker' Construct actually came with two types of sickles: one was the horticultural sickle used for agriculture, somewhat like what Fang Mo's hometown used to cut elephant grass, which is a one-handed German small sickle.

As for the other type, it was quite terrifying.

That was the American large sickle, which required both hands to hold barely.

Of course, these were sickles, not something else. In the game, the horticultural sickle could be swung with one hand, while the combat sickle required both hands to use. Compared to traditional agricultural tools, this indeed resemble more of a combat weapon with a range, much like the sickle used by Kayn in LOL.

And this was exactly what Fang Mo intended to create.

Unlike the horticultural sickle, the combat sickle was made of two sturdy handles, a sturdy binding joint, and a sickle blade.

After some thought, Fang Mo used phosphorite and red garnet for the handles, cobalt blue for the binding joint, and wrought iron for the sickle blade, and even inscribed a molten gold into it.

As a result, the sickle simultaneously possessed characteristics of ripening, healing, lightweight, cloning, deliciousness, and bacon. Once aimed at wheat and right-clicked, it would quickly ripen the wheat and automatically harvest and replant it. With cloning and fortune, it could achieve a wheat yield of eighteen hundred per mu.

Of course, the same applied to leeks. After one harvest, another would grow back, making it truly a miraculous healer.

And considering the "bacon" characteristic,

It could occasionally drop a piece of bacon while ripening the wheat.

Of course, if one didn't like bacon, they could pull out a small knife for cutting meat, stab it into a cow's behind, and just heal the wound with the sickle afterward.

Even if you were quick enough, you could milk the cow before it ran away.

Honestly,

This was just too damn convenient.

Thinking of this, Fang Mo was so delighted that he began to crazily enhance it. Since he had plenty of materials, he went straight to enhance and enchant it to the max, with things like attack speed, fortune, efficiency, sharpness, etc.

It's worth mentioning that Fang Mo made two sickles.

One was for Steve to use to ripen the crops in MC, and for the other, Fang Mo replaced the wrought iron sickle blade with resonant ender metal and enhanced a healing magatama, planning to use it to replace the previous divine healing sword.

As the saying goes...

"A village of two li has three scholars, who dare to teach without knowing the Four Books and the Five Classics and the Six Arts, audaciously teaching seventy-eighty-nine children, utterly bold.

Ten treatments lead to nine deaths, resulting in eight years of imprisonment, after taking medicine seven times, six people died. Silently count down four-three-two seconds, and then pass away.

Fang Mo wishes to name this sickle "Blade of Xiongfeng Mountain."

Of course, aside from this weapon, Fang Mo also moved a nest for Aizen and Baraggan.

There's not much to say about Aizen's sword; it was merely a remake of a broad-bladed giant sword housing a nine-tailed fox.

However, regarding the weapons of Baraggan, Fang Mo devoted some time to research and eventually chose plutonium for the durable handle, Nihilite as the core, withering and crystal matrix locks for the blade, and then integrated the spatial resonance power of ender metal into it.

Plutonium can ignore defenses and cause continuous bleeding.

Nihilite inherently possesses the soul-devouring trait.

As for the withering lock... This thing needs to be first mixed with electrum and wither dust dropped after killing a Wither to make an inert withering lock, and then poured over with blood to fully activate the internal power of withering.

The withering lock has two characteristics: Lionheart, which can increase armor value by a percentage, and Withering Flow, which can weaken and wither the target. Theoretically, the moment Fang Mo uses this sword to strike someone, that person would simultaneously suffer from five types of damage.

Thus, Fang Mo named this sword the "Sword of Deathly Luminescence."

As someone who has a collecting hobby, several more artifacts were added to the collection, and Fang Mo's mood significantly improved.

So, taking advantage of the good mood, he decided to study the crafting table.

After tinkering with a book on it for a while, Fang Mo finally succeeded in creating the Book of the Dead.

"yes!!!"

Seeing the Book of the Dead on the crafting table, Fang Mo immediately cheered.

The Book of the Dead is a fictional book from the Cthulhu Mythos, but in MC, it is set as a tutorial book for the AbyssalCraft mod, similar to the Tinker's Construct manual. With this item, even without access to the crafting list, one can complete the AbyssalCraft mod.

Fang Mo then controlled Steve to open the Book of the Dead and began reading it seriously.

As mentioned before, the AbyssalCraft adds four new dimensions to the MC world, strictly speaking, it is an adventure mod.

However, compared to the Twilight Forest, many things here are much more complicated.

Fang Mo briefly flipped through the book, which simply recorded some settings about how to go to the new world, spatial energy, rituals, etc.

The AbyssalCraft mod was unlocked by Fang Mo from Nyarlathotep, so without a doubt, it is a Cthulhu-themed mod. Players can consult a large number of mysterious rituals through the Book of the Dead, performing rituals to gain more conveniences for themselves.

There are many rituals, like mating rituals, antimatter extinction, the coming of darkness, spreading plagues, enchanting, resurrection of the dead, etc...

In short, it's indeed very useful.

However, it's worth mentioning that conducting rituals requires energy.

This energy is called spatial energy, referring to a kind of pure energy from a higher realm.

Normally, this type of energy is beyond human grasp and acquisition, but the mini Shoggoths have mastered a way to build statues of the Old Ones, allowing them to gaze upon this world through these statues.

If humans devoutly build shrines, place statues, and use all sorts of methods to please the gods, they can obtain spatial energy as if it were a divine gift.

Of course, this is just a game setting.

In Fang Mo's view, it was nothing more than placing the statue on top of a huge stone block, thereby forming a structure with multiple blocks.

After tinkering around for a bit, Fang Mo successfully conducted several rituals, creating the Evolution Orb and the Annihilation Medium, respectively. Following the recipe, he crafted a key on the workbench and went to the first world of the Abyssal Realm, which is the Abyssal Wasteland.

This is the first layer of the AbyssalCraft.

A dim, eerie green dimension filled with undead creatures.

Fang Mo observed the surroundings and noticed that both the sky and the ground were a dismal green. Countless huge chains hung from the sky, while various-sized green lakes were scattered across the ground.

Of course, these lakes were not filled with water.

Instead, they contained a terrifying liquid coral full of deadly plague.

The undead creatures in this place also carried the same origin plague. If attacked, one would suffer from a debuff called Coral Plague, which continuously drains health.

However, Steve had healing items and, coupled with his new, sufficiently powerful armor, he couldn't be bothered to make antidotes or armor. He simply brute-forced his way through, summoning the Forgotten Ones' kin, the slumbering Fallen Dragon Asolra, through rituals.

This creature was quite similar to the Ender Dragon and was quickly slain by Steve.

Fang Mo also obtained the Eye of the Fallen from it, and together with the Fear Energy Stone found in the Wasteland Fortress, he crafted a new key.

Of course, Fang Mo didn't forget to upgrade the Necronomicon with materials from the Abyssal Wasteland.

Before long, he arrived at the second world.

That is, the Land of Fear.

This is a world that looks entirely crimson at a glance.

According to the setting, this was originally the second layer of the Abyss, a dimension made of purple Abyssal essence.

However, due to an accident, a monster named Chagalos suddenly appeared. This monster carried a highly contagious curse, the Fear Plague, which seems similar to the Scarlet Rot mentioned in "Elden Ring". Consequently, the entire world was contaminated, turning miners and golems into zombies, with only a few survivors remaining.

There isn't much to say about this world.

It was merely about collecting materials to upgrade the Necronomicon, finding, and killing the boss Chagalos.

It's worth mentioning that the Fear Plague and Coral Plague are not the same thing. These two dreadfully similar substances could actually stack.

After a slight delay, Fang Mo quickly proceeded to the third world.

The third layer of the Abyss is known as Omothol, the true Abyss. Looking around, there is no light, only countless floating islands connected in the darkness. This place is also closest to where the Old Rulers slumber, and the temple of the Abyss Guardian J'zahar is located here.

And this so-called J'zahar is precisely Fang Mo's ultimate goal on this journey.

According to the setting of the Abyssal Realm, J'zahar is actually a mongrel offspring of the King in Yellow, Hastur. All other former rulers have been banished into the Eternal Void, hence he was appointed to guard the Abyss, accompanying those great beings who have fallen into a deep slumber.

After defeating J'zahar,

Players can acquire his power.

Elevating the Book of the Dead to its ultimate form, it transforms into the Book of the Abyss.

Similarly, one can also create J'zahar's scepter, which allows the wielder to open the gates of the Abyss at will or extract the essence of beings.

One could also head to the lair of shadow creatures, the Dark Realm, to farm some Shadow Gems or the like.

In fact, Fang Mo did exactly that. By employing the Great Wall Digging Technique, Steve quickly killed J'zahar, and he successfully upgraded his Book of the Dead into the Book of the Abyss.

However, after that, Fang Mo conducted a Time Reversal Ceremony, defeated J'zahar again, and made another Book of the Abyss using materials.

Yes, he plans to materialize this book and give it a try.

The Abyssal Realm is a major mod, after all, and it has quite a few elements of the Cthulhu Mythos. Fang Mo is indeed keen to delve deeper into it.

For example, what would those four worlds look like after being materialized, or what is recorded in the Book of the Abyss once it is materialized? Can certain rituals be performed in reality? If he finds the statue of Shub-Niggurath... Can he invite her to join in the fun?

Honestly, just thinking about it makes Fang Mo quite excited.

If it weren't for some matters that need to be dealt with in Minecraft, Fang Mo would probably have already gone to the Marvel Universe to study sorcery, especially since there's the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, who might be able to give him some guidance.

Though he's lost in thought, Fang Mo is quick to act.

Even though Steve can't fly, with the Ender Hand, he can still move quickly between two sky islands.

Unlike the Abyssal Wasteland and the Land of Fear, Omothol has many NPC villages, only here they are called Survivors, apparently descendants of J'zahar. Since there are villages, naturally, there would be chests to open.

However, what Fang Mo didn't expect was,

When he opened a plank crate in a Survivor's house,

Inside the crate, there surprisingly appeared a gold-covered book named "ONE PUNCH-MAN".

Even the Translator can't wait for the MC to go to One Punch Man.
