Seeing the brown sludge jetting out, Fang Mo was also startled.

Due to the overly horrifying color, he even subconsciously covered his nose and mouth, fearing that this substance might accidentally splash into his mouth.

The power of the Hot Spring Sword was astonishing. It is important to note that the flow rate of this substance increased exponentially. Originally, the mother planet of the Kree people, Hala Planet, was plunged into a sword by Fang Mo, and in just a few days, it became a lifeless ocean planet.

Therefore, if Fang Mo disregards the sword in front of him,

In no more than three hours, this basin would turn into a brown lake.

But to be honest, facing the mysterious brown liquid jetting out from the sword, Fang Mo himself was a bit bewildered.

He had used this Hot Spring Sword a few times before, and it indeed produced normal hot spring water. However, for some reason, it suddenly turned out like this, which felt somewhat strange.

And just as Fang Mo was stunned,

The brown liquid sprayed from the Hot Spring Sword had already gathered into a pond.

This brown thick slurry gathered together, even emitting wisps of steam, and despite Fang Mo covering his nose and mouth, a hint of the smell still managed to seep through his fingers.

Upon smelling this scent, Fang Mo was suddenly taken aback.

"Hm?"

Fang Mo's face showed a surprised expression, and then he lowered his hand, subconsciously saying, "Delicious…"

Of course, this doesn't mean Fang Mo has lost his senses, or suddenly became possessed by some odd spirit wanting to perform a public eating show. Instead, the smell was genuinely pleasant because the brown liquid was not what he imagined it to be, but an exceptionally rich and fragrant hot coffee.

Fang Mo materialized a wooden bowl from Steve's hand and carefully scooped up the coffee to taste.

"It's even Italian espresso…"

Honestly, the taste of the coffee was indeed very good, even Fang Mo was a bit surprised. However, he was even more puzzled. The taste was good, but what he originally wanted was a hot spring, so why did it suddenly turn into coffee?

However, at least the coffee was better than the alternative, at least Fang Mo dared to touch it with his hand. So, he immediately pulled the sword out of the ground and took a closer look.

Upon examining it, Fang Mo indeed found the problem.

This sword was made by Fang Mo a long time ago, originally just a very ordinary Ender Greatsword, used to catch some interesting creatures like Tailed Beasts.

However, later during the Bleach's world, Fang Mo accidentally unlocked the Sakura Module. Because the Sakura Module and the Bamboo Module had a high degree of similarity, the two were fused together. Following this, Fang Mo used the linkage right to combine the complete set of Bamboo and Sakura with the Tinkers' Construct, leading to a bunch of strange enhancements in the Tinkers' Manual.

Out of curiosity, Fang Mo casually enhanced an Ender Greatsword with a Hot Spring mechanism.

Afterwards, there's not much to say, except that Fang Mo understood the specific use of the Hot Spring Sword, creating floods by sticking it in the ground, and that's how Hala Planet was flooded, and he also incidentally abducted an Ice Cream Intell… Supreme Intelligence.

But after that,

Fang Mo entered the Chainsaw Man's world.

To test whether the name tag could change the Devil's name, he specifically caught a few Devils in the Devil Prison of the Devil Science Department, like the Broom Devil, Tomato Devil, Turtle Devil, etc.

Among them, there was a guy named Coffee Devil.

This item was casually sealed inside this hot spring sword by Fang Mo, who honestly had forgotten about the whole affair, as this entity was pitifully weak. When other beings are sealed inside, the appearance of the sword changes. However, this entity was sealed without even altering the weapon's appearance.

But then again, who would be afraid of coffee?

At most, some might dislike drinking coffee, but it hardly escalates to fear, right? It's worth noting that in the world of Chainsaw Man, there's no someone who casually... serves an aunt a cup of cappuccino or anything of the sort.

"So that's how it is..."

After understanding this layer of relationship, Fang Mo came to a realization: "Is it because of the Coffee Devil?"

Fang Mo, with a thought, had Steve flip through the Tinker' Construct Guide to revisit the description related to the enhancement of the hot spring mechanism, discovering that it reads:

Hot Spring Mechanism Enhancement: SHIFT + right-click to plant the weapon into the ground, after which the weapon activates underground water veins, rapidly generating hot springs around until the water covers the hilt. Depending on the material, characteristics, and enhancements of the weapon, the effects of the spring water gushing from the ground vary.

"Emmm…"

After reviewing the introduction of the hot spring mechanism again, Fang Mo finally understood the principle.

It's clearly the resonance of ender metal's characteristics that affect the spring's effects. Sealing the Coffee Devil meant coffee was sprayed out; if it were the Tomato Devil, probably ketchup would be sprayed instead. If Power-chan were sealed inside, perhaps it would madly spray blood.

Of course, this characteristic probably doesn't only involve the resonance of ender metals.

Theoretically, other enhancements or material characteristics could also affect the liquid produced by the hot spring mechanism.

Like if Fang Mo used the materials from the Poop Module... hardened poop to make a weapon and then applied a hot spring mechanism enhancement, that sword would truly be the most terrifying magic sword, only controllable by the hero Sun Zha from the third arm spiral of the Xitel galaxy on the planet Debate Star.

(TL: no idea)

Stab it into the ground, and all the dung beetles in the world would bow down to you.

Similarly, if you used nuclear-powered chocolate as the material, stabbing it into the ground would probably keep spraying chocolate out. And given the MC's reputation for quality, the smoothness of this chocolate would likely far surpass Dove's.

The only thing to be careful about is not to mix up these two swords when planning to taste them...

"This bamboo module is really strong, always giving me such surprises." After studying a bit more about the additional features of the hot spring sword, Fang Mo couldn't help but laugh: "Had I known, I would have caught more devils in Chainsaw Man. If I had caught a Milky Devil, wouldn't that be..."

"Milky?"

Before Fang Mo could finish, a little girl's voice suddenly asked, "Where's the Milky?"

"...How did you get here again?"

Turning his head, Fang Mo saw the little pink-haired girl had run over, and immediately started to complain: "Big sister, you're just the Sex Devil, not a pervert. Could you please not appear suddenly whenever someone mentions a keyword?"

"It was you who made such a big commotion and attracted my attention."

As Xiao Fen Mao spoke, she raised her hand and pointed towards the distance. Fang Mo followed the gesture and found that at the edge of the basin, a large group of Devils stood there, as if they were watching him. Fang Mo even spotted Ulquiorra and Coyote Starrk among them.

Noticing Fang Mo's gaze, the two simply flew over.

"So where did you get these guys from?"

As soon as he came over, Starrk directly pointed at the Devils in the distance: "Why are they all looking at you with such fervor? The Hollows' attitude towards Aizen wasn't even this good. How did you manage that?"

"I can't really explain that to you."

Fang Mo thought for a moment and said, "If I had to say... I gave them all thoughts, memories, personalities, powers, and life, so they probably regard me as their master."

"Did you use the Hōgyoku for this?"

Starrk was full of curiosity.

"It has nothing to do with Hōgyoku. The principle is actually somewhat similar to your situation," Fang Mo thought for a moment and said, "Strictly speaking, they should also be considered a part of me, understand?"

"Oh, I see."

Starrk nodded subconsciously: "So, you are planning to..."

"This place is too desolate, so I'm planning to add a bit of liveliness here. But I don't have any experience with farming, so I'll start by building a small village. Ulquiorra, I'll leave this task to you. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask others. No problem, right?"

"At your command, Lord Fang Mo."

Ulquiorra simply nodded, without saying much.

Unlike Coyote Starrk, Ulquiorra was thrown here by Fang Mo only a few days ago, so he obviously felt a bit unaccustomed. Although he had already been persuaded by Fang Mo to become a subordinate, it would probably take more time for him to completely get used to everything here.

But Fang Mo personally liked this guy.

Smart, loyal, honest, and hardworking, employees like him are hard to find nowadays.

In fact, Fang Mo was very self-aware, knowing that what he liked to do most was to cause trouble and then leave others to deal with the mess.

Is there anyone more suitable than Ulquiorra to handle these messes?

Although Fang Mo indeed brought Aizen back as well, Aizen was only focused on standing above everyone else, rather than willingly becoming a soul battery.

Of course, Starrk was also not suitable.

Because his personality was the epitome of slacking off.

If Fang Mo asked him to build a village, he probably wouldn't even bother to build a shed, for a simple reason: Hollows don't need to shit. Fang Mo wanted to build a village similar to those he had seen in the ninja world, or at least something resembling a normal rural village. But Starrk might end up building something resembling an Indian village, so he was also excluded.

"Ulquiorra, feel free to ask if there's anything you don't understand."

Seeing Ulquiorra's silent demeanor, Fang Mo also spoke up to encourage him: "Two heads are better than one. Quanxi and Hayakawa Aki were also modern people before, so they should be able to offer you some help."

"I understand, Lord Fang Mo."

Ulquiorra nodded, then said, "You want to create your own world, so you start experimenting with a small group of people, but... I indeed have no experience in this area. Does the village need any specific facilities built, or should it be like Lord Aizen's Las Noches?"

"We need to build a shelter!"

Right after Ulquiorra finished speaking, the little pink-haired one immediately raised her hand and said, "Venting one's desires is a biological instinct, it's a necessity!"

"Ah, if that's the case..."

Starkk scratched his head after hearing this: "Lilynette seemed to want an amusement park, is that okay?"

"An amusement park is fine."

Fang Mo immediately said, "But the shelter is not."

"Why not!" The little pink-haired one clenched her fists in anger: "That's discrimination! I protest! You either feed me well today, or else..."

"Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking."

Fang Mo waved his hand and then pulled out a gadget made by Urahara Kisuke: "Here, go find somewhere to play with this egg, and don't bother us."

"Stingy."

The little pink-haired one pouted, but still snatched the thing from Fang Mo's hand and ran off: "You wait for me!"

Starrk and Ulquiorra looked at each other.

And without saying anything, they seemed to understand each other perfectly.

After this brief interlude, Fang Mo quickly got back to work, which was to create a lake. This time, he went back to the MC world to create a brand new Hot Spring Sword, and it was quite successful in filling up the basin.

And after that.

Fang Mo specifically created some giant lakes in several other places on Ego Planet.

It wasn't to act as oceans or anything, but to give Ego Planet a relatively complete ecological water cycle.

As mentioned before, Fang Mo is a player who explores and fights; he has no clue about farming or building and managing things, so he could only do whatever came to mind.

Like providing food, tools, consumables, and various materials.

However, what Fang Mo didn't expect was that his MC creatures were incredibly efficient, like the Redcap Goblins in the Twilight Forest, Goblins, Dwarves from the Gaia Grimoire, Worker Ants, and some of the original villagers. These creatures, after being materialized, naturally possessed unparalleled construction talents.

Besides, some monsters were also very learned.

Like Liches, Vampires, Nine-Tailed Foxes, Arachne, Anubis, and such.

Since the MC creatures were absolutely loyal to Fang Mo, there was no slacking off, and these monsters worked together, some helping with planning and design, others with the actual labor. With Ulquiorra's already high efficiency, the construction work on Ego Planet was surprisingly smooth.

Originally, he just wanted to build a village, but it seemed to be quickly approaching the scale of a small town.

Now that these monsters no longer needed his help, Fang Mo was happy to relax. After providing a bunch of basic materials, he once again became a hands-off manager, directly controlling Steve to open the Book of Ages and head to the Marvel Universe.

With rolling black mist and a brief feeling of weightlessness enveloping his body,

The next second, Fang Mo opened his eyes, and what he saw was a dim and silent world, one of the Nine Realms, Vanaheim. The last time he left the Marvel Universe, Nick Fury and Tony Stark were here helping with cotton farming.

"Ah, it's also time to get the brothers out of prison."

Returning to the familiar Marvel world, Fang Mo was in high spirits and flew directly to the location in his memory.

But what Fang Mo didn't expect at all was that just a few hundred meters ahead, there appeared a large area of ruins left after a battle, and a familiar figure lay in a pool of blood.

Fang Mo frowned at the sight and immediately recognized the person's identity.

"…Thor!?"
