Chapter 578: Mumen Rider rejecting the offer

"Ah, this..."

Seeing that no portals were being opened around, Fang Mo scratched his head in puzzlement.

"So, what's the situation here?"

Next to him, Saitama also asked again, "Could it be that the Ancient One was killed by the aftermath of the battle? I remember she was quite powerful."

"It shouldn't be the case."

Fang Mo shook his head upon hearing this: "She's been dealing with these evil gods for a long time. Though the Cthulhu deities and dimensional demons are indeed different, it shouldn't result in her death... Anyway, I'll take a look."

Saying this, Fang Mo closed his eyes to sense her presence.

With the authority of a dimensional demon activated, Fang Mo instantly sensed the location of the Ancient One.

Clearly, as Saitama mentioned, she was not killed by the shock, but she had indeed left the mirror space, probably to avoid being accidentally injured by the aftershocks of her own battle, deciding to wait outside instead.

"Never mind... as long as she's not dead."

After confirming the Ancient One wasn't dead, Fang Mo was relieved and began trying to draw a portal in mid-air.

After some awkward attempts.

A somewhat suspicious square portal appeared in the air.

"Let's go."

After creating the portal, Fang Mo turned to Saitama and called out, "It doesn't matter if the Ancient One doesn't want to open the portal, I have my own backdoor... Come on, let's take mine."

"Your way of putting it sounds so awkward..."

Saitama immediately facepalmed and then looked strangely at the portal in the air: "Huh? Why is your backdoor square..."

"Cough, don't mind the details."

In the meantime, the two walked into the portal one after another.

However, as previously mentioned, Fang Mo's accuracy in opening portals was very poor. For instance, now, they had just stepped in, and their feet were already hanging in mid-air.

"... What the hell?"

Fang Mo was startled at first, then looked down and realized that the portal was opened thousands of meters above the ground, even far above the clouds, and below the clouds was nothing but a vast ocean, with no trace of land in sight.

"Hey?"

At the same time, Saitama's voice came from beside him: "Where have we run off to?"

"Uh... the location might be a bit off."

Fang Mo, although initially confused, quickly calmed down, as he suddenly remembered that he had another transport point here, so he simply reached back and grabbed Saitama's shoulder: "Alright, let's correct the transport coordinates, let's go..."

As soon as he finished speaking, their bodies flashed with a dark light again.

And after this transport.

Fang Mo looked up to see that they were still on the same beach as before, but compared to the previous desolate and terrifying appearance when Cthulhu descended, the scene now was sunny and bright. The setting sun cast a golden veil over the beach, giving it a different kind of beauty.

Well, of course.

That is if you ignore the mountain-like pile of poop.

Yes, just thinking about the Sea King's way of dying made Fang Mo want to laugh, knowing that he was stabbed to death by a poop sword, making it truly grim... Wait.

Fang Mo frowned slightly.

Suddenly noticing a human-shaped pit on the pile of poop.

Before beating up Cthulhu, the Sea King was buried alive in this pile of poop, but now it seemed someone had dug him out, even leaving a poop-covered shovel next to it.

"Isn't it... who would even pick up a corpse?"

Seeing this scene, frankly, Fang Mo was also a bit shocked.

But before he could think much about it, suddenly the voice of Genos came from nearby: "Mr. Fang Mo, Saitama-sensei, you're back?"

Fang Mo turned around.

Just in time to see Genos standing not far away.

Along with Genos, the Puri-Puri Prisoner, the Ancient One, the Mumen Rider were also there, and even Fang Mo saw the two agents under Doctor Genus's command.

Of course, that included the superbly built Armored Gorilla and the loli Ground Dragon.

For some reason, the Ground Dragon looked quite aggrieved at the moment, sitting on the beach with a puffed-up little face, looking almost ready to cry.

Her grey fluffy short hair was somewhat damp, and although she was still wearing her sturdy, durable uniform, her knee-high boots and over-the-knee socks had been taken off and thrown far away, and she was continuously rubbing her little feet with seawater.

The sparkling water splashed around, making her tiny toes look as white and delicate as pearls.

"You're the Mumen Rider, right?"

Fang Mo asked.

"Uh... Yes." The Mumen Rider instinctively nodded: "I'm the number one C-class active hero, the Mumen Rider."

"That's right."

Fang Mo smiled and nodded: "I'm your master, the Racial Knight."

"...Huh?"

Hearing this, the Mumen Rider was really a bit confused.

He had only been fighting monsters and then got knocked out, honestly, it wasn't the first time he had been knocked out, waking up and continuing the fight was enough, after all, he couldn't really be used for anything else, even if it was just to delay the monsters for a while, that was good too.

But this time when he woke up.

Why did he suddenly have a master?

The Mumen Rider instinctively looked around, the weather in J City had already returned to normal, it was clear that the monsters had truly been defeated, but what exactly had happened in the meantime?

"What's wrong, disciple, are you looking for your bicycle?"

Fang Mo, seeing the Mumen Rider's actions, casually pointed to the nearby pile of poop: "Your beloved bike was crushed by the Sea King, but your master helped you piece it together."

"Ah, thank you."

The Mumen Rider, hearing this, was a bit flattered and nodded his head.

But quickly, his peripheral vision suddenly noticed a man standing against the sun not far away, the man's explosive hair and muscles were so obvious that he immediately recognized him: "Hm? Is that the S-class Puri-Puri Prisoner? You... came to deal with the monsters too?"

"Yep, that's right."

The Puri-Puri Prisoner had been closing his eyes and enjoying the sun, the warm feeling on his butt was very comfortable, but now hearing the Mumen Rider's words, he opened his eyes: "But I didn't really play a role, this disaster was basically resolved by the priest bro and this bald bro..."

"Change your way of addressing me, dammit!"

Saitama couldn't help but shout: "Damn, why is Fang Mo's name so normal?"

"...Priest?" And hearing the Puri-Puri Prisoner's words, the Mumen Rider also unexpectedly looked towards Fang Mo: "You are... the newly joined S-class hero, Priest?"

"Yes."

Fang Mo, with a loving face, pulled out the Abyssal Book cosplaying as the Bible: "May... God bless you."

"Thank... Thank you for your blessing."

The Mumen Rider felt he was still a bit confused, but still politely said a word.

"No big deal." Fang Mo casually waved his hand, then said to the Mumen Rider: "Anyway, it's late today, just go home and rest, come to my place tomorrow to start training."

"Ah?"

The Mumen Rider, hearing this, was still a bit confused: "Are... are you serious?"

"I never lie..."

"But aren't they calling you Fang Mo?"

"Don't mind these details." Fang Mo said, directly waving his hand, then pointed to the Ancient One next to him: "Look, she is your senior sister, now that the mirror world has opened even dragon-level monsters can't handle her, you'll be the same once you've learned, you can even open portals for traveling, no need to ride a bicycle anymore."

"Oh right, if you really want to ride a bicycle, that's fine too."

Fang Mo suddenly remembered and said: "I just slightly modified your bicycle, now its top speed can reach about eighty miles per hour, if you train a little with me, later you can directly reach several Mach speeds."

"This..."

Hearing this, to be honest, the Mumen Rider was also a bit tempted.

You know, people always admire strength, although the Mumen Rider had accepted his own weakness, but who doesn't want to become stronger, the other party is a top combat power of the Hero Association, a legendary S-class hero.

The other party saying he wanted to take him as a disciple, to be honest, the Mumen Rider was tempted, that's for sure.

But after he thought about it seriously for a while, he ultimately went against his own inner desire, apologetically bowed to Fang Mo.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Priest."

The Mumen Rider very sincerely said: "I'm very thankful that you chose me, but I might really not be able to become your disciple."

"Nani?"
