Steve Chapter 172

"In your eyes, am I really that crazy?" 

After hearing Ancient One's statement, Fang Mo couldn't help but retort, "So casually using other-dimensional demon gods as batteries?" 

"In all the futures I've observed with the Time Stone, your likelihood of destroying the world is more than ten times greater than all other-dimensional demon gods combined. Doesn't that say something?" Ancient One calmly replied.

"That's just your personal opinion," Fang Mo argued. "Do you have any evidence? Right now, I'm the great hero who saved the world."

"Then would you care to explain the current situation?" Ancient One said, "Do you have any clue about this energy core from another dimension that's in front of you?"

"What clue could I possibly have?" Fang Mo said bluntly, "If you insist on saying that Diao Ling is a Lord of Dimensions, then there's nothing I can do. I can easily kill this thing hundreds of times over."

"So, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Upon hearing this, Ancient One became a little puzzled, "This is a dimensional treasure, you bringing it out can't just be for show, right?"

"Actually, I just want to conduct a small test," Fang Mo casually said. "But the problem is, I don't know your Kamar-Taj spells, can't open a mirror dimension, so I had to find a random place to test it. Don't you think the area here is quite spacious?"

"Spacious?" Ancient One couldn't help but say, "Its energy has already started affecting the whole of New York and is still spreading."

"Don't tell me you can't figure out its energy properties," Fang Mo said, "You may not believe it, but not long ago, an old Black friend of mine told me that New Yorkers are actually worshiping me as a god. So, I made an unfilial decision; New York... will be guarded by me!"

"Your so-called guarding, wouldn't happen to be beheading all the criminals and displaying them publicly, would it?" Ancient One asked, looking at Fang Mo.

"Kudos to the Sorcerer Supreme, you've guessed my thoughts exactly," Fang Mo gave a big thumbs up, "I plan to use the beacon to enhance their bodies so they can work 16 hours a day. Even if they stay up late and eat junk food, they won't get sick. As for the criminals, I'll behead them personally and hang them on the outer wall as a warning to others."

As he spoke, Fang Mo couldn't help but laugh at his own joke, "Hahaha, the good days are still ahead."

"Your statement..." 

Seeing Fang Mo laugh, Ancient One also realized that he was joking and shook his head helplessly, "Even Mephisto would have to kneel before you."

"Oh, right," Ancient One's words reminded Fang Mo, "You should know Mephisto, right? Why not call him over to play? Isn't he the Lord of Hell? My collection of hell jokes could use an update. I plan to develop some new plant jokes. What do you think of leeks?"

"Sorry, I'm allergic to hell jokes," Ancient One immediately said.

"Tsk, boring," hearing Ancient One's statement, Fang Mo looked disappointed.

"So what are you planning to do with this?" Ancient One pointed to the beacon not far away, "You're not going to leave it on the ground forever, are you?"

"Of course not," Fang Mo nodded, "I mainly just want to test its properties, I'll put it away after the research is done."

"In that case," Ancient One nodded, seemingly relieved, "I'll go back first..."

"Wait," Fang Mo suddenly said.

"Hm?" Ancient One's hand, poised to cast a spell, stopped mid-air, looking puzzled at Fang Mo.

"Why not research this thing together?"

Fang Mo pointed to the beacon next to him and asked Ancient One.

"Yes, the Nether Star and the beacon, after materializing, have completely broken away from the MC rules. Strictly speaking, they are indeed somewhat related to the Dimensional Demons, and Kamar-Taj is always studying Dimensional Demons, so this field is clearly relevant."

Fang Mo thought for a moment, feeling that Ancient One could provide some advice.

And indeed she did.

After briefly studying the beacon.

Ancient One quickly shared her thoughts with Fang Mo.

Similar to the information that suddenly appeared in Fang Mo's mind, Ancient One said that this thing is indeed the essence of some Dimensional Demon and theoretically contains astonishing energy.

However, the energy inside this crystal is not active.

On the contrary.

This is a kind of inert energy.

Activating it is not an easy task, unless you catalyze it with some sort of magical ritual (the beacon), otherwise, this energy is hard to utilize.

After hearing Ancient One's explanation.

Fang Mo also gave up the idea of stuffing Nether Stars into his body.

Instead.

He decided to directly stuff a pyramid into his body.

"Yes, although the energy inside the Nether Star is not active, the beacon is different. This thing is an excited state of the Nether Star, isn't it?"

According to Ancient One.

Leaving the beacon outside is not a good idea.

Her point was, Fang Mo's current strength is already very strong. If he encounters someone who needs him to fight at full strength, then putting a beacon outside is useless.

If the enemy discovers that this thing can amplify Fang Mo's power.

They would definitely blow it up immediately.

So placing it outside is really not as good as finding a way to stuff it inside, even though it may be a bit painful... No, even though it might be a bit troublesome, it is indeed better than putting it directly outside.

The materialized beacon is different from the MC beacon.

In the game, each beacon can only have one main effect and one auxiliary effect.

For example, if you want to have strength and life recovery.

You must give up boosts like speed or urgency.

However, the beacon in reality is more like an energy hub. It is well known that Dimensional Demons are bound to dimensions, so by exciting the Nether Star, the beacon can continuously draw power from the entire Nether dimension.

Actually, Fang Mo is also not clear about how the 'Nether dimension' in the real world is determined.

But this damn thing can inexplicably draw out power.

And the larger the base, the stronger the power.

For this reason, Fang Mo decided to first create a small pyramid to try.

Because of constantly consuming **hua berries, Fang Mo's strength has been continuously improving. The storage space inside his body has gradually expanded from a small room to a cubic structure with an edge length of nearly 100 meters.

He plans to first build a pyramid about 20 layers high.

If you want to build such a high pyramid, the base diameter would be about 49 meters, so just one layer would consume more than 2,400 blocks.

Approximately 30 or so groups.

"What the f***!?"

After calculating the amount of gold required, Fang Mo was stunned.

"What happened?"

Ancient One looked at Fang Mo strangely, not understanding why he suddenly shouted.

"I was too hasty."

Fang Mo rubbed his temples helplessly: "I didn't bring enough gold; I probably have to go back."

"Isn't your friend the richest man in the world?" Ancient One curiously said: "If it really won't work, you can ask him to lend you some. There's no need to go back and forth between two worlds for this, right?"

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Fang Mo rubbed his temples a bit painfully: "Mainly because the amount I need... might be a bit much."

"How much?"

Ancient One asked.

"Just to build one layer, I need more than 40,000 tons of gold," Fang Mo spread his hands: "Although the materials required for each layer of the pyramid will decrease, to complete 20 layers..."

"Sorry, I'm interrupting."

Ancient One, upon hearing this, directly opened a portal with her ring: "You go and gather materials, I need to go back to Kamar-Taj. Recently, Dormammu's activities have become more frequent, and I don't have much time to chat with you."

"Uh?"

Hearing Ancient One's words, Fang Mo was also stunned: "So you're about to die?"

"Yes."

Ancient One nodded, showing no signs of fear.

"Then after you die, come with me to see other worlds," Fang Mo smiled: "Strange is more than capable of inheriting your mantle."

"If it won't impact this world, I think I'd agree."

Ancient One nodded upon hearing this, after all, Fang Mo had mentioned this to her more than once. She was also a bit curious; after all, who really wants to die?

"Okay, it's settled then."

Fang Mo clapped his hands: "Don't worry, on the day of your funeral, I promise to make it grand."

"Not... Can't you let me die in peace?"

Upon hearing this, Ancient One finally couldn't hold back.

"No way, you're the Supreme Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj," Fang Mo shook his head: "Not only will I have JARVIS change all the WiFi passwords in the world to HHHHGYSL, but I'll also make a pure gold coffin for you. Then have an Ender Dragon pull your coffin directly into deep space. How awesome is that?"

"I don't want to go with you to other worlds anymore."

Ancient One said with a headache: "I just want to die now."
