Chapter 639: [Sponsored]: Going back to Teyvat

"Ah?"

Upon hearing his son's statement, Narinki was momentarily stunned.

"Ahem..."

However, at that moment, Fang Mo suddenly grabbed Waganma and shoved him back into the portal: "Sorry, I took the wrong one..."

"No, you didn't!"

Narinki immediately shouted, "This is my son, Waganma!"

"Waganma is a good child; how could he falsely accuse me?" Fang Mo declared confidently, "So this must be an monster. Someone is pretending to be your child and trying to kill you..."

"That's impossible!"

Narinki instantly rejected the idea: "How could I not recognize my own son?"

"Oh, what if I do this?"

Fang Mo shrugged and then activated his custom Steve ability, instantly transforming into Waganma... while still holding the original Waganma. This bizarre scene stunned not only Narinki but also the other heroes present.

"What... is this?"

Narinki was completely dumbfounded.

However, Fang Mo didn't give Narinki a chance to speak. In the next second, he returned to his original form and smiled at Narinki: "See, even I can shapeshift. So those monsters could too. I suspect Mihoyo is behind this. They're trying to get close to you and kill you, cutting off your funding to the Hero Association. This monster aims to sow discord between us, causing internal strife."

"Then..."

Hearing Fang Mo's analysis, Narinki seemed somewhat convinced: "What should I do then?"

"Kill him!"

Fang Mo looked at Narinki with absolute certainty.

"Huh?"

Narinki didn't know how to respond to this. Killing him outright seemed too extreme. At this moment, another hero stepped up to help: "Um... Priest, what if this child really is Waganma?"

"Revive him, my good son!"

Fang Mo immediately shouted.

"This..."

At this point, the other heroes were at a loss for words. Just then, the surrounding space trembled inexplicably, and a strange-looking portal suddenly opened. A blood-covered black figure rushed out from it, chased by a terrifying white figure.

"Hmm? What is this..."

Sensing the terrifying aura from the portal, everyone's expressions changed.

But Fang Mo reacted swiftly, delivering a lightning-fast kick that sent the black figure flying back into the portal.

"Alright, it's all taken care of."

Dusting off his pants, Fang Mo nonchalantly said to everyone.

"Priest," this time it wasn't Narinki who spoke but Bang, who had a peculiar expression: "That just now, could it be..."

"Oh, something like that."

Fang Mo casually nodded: "That was indeed Garou. He's mostly just a bit of a chunibyo, but that despicable Psykos manipulated him, worsening his condition. Now, our director Boros is trying to treat him..."

"Priest, are you dissatisfied with our Hero Association?"

Sekingar got a bit anxious hearing this; after all, Fang Mo was a major shareholder of the association. Losing him would be a big problem, so he quickly said, "If there's anything the Hero Association can improve, please let us know. You are an invaluable asset to our association."

"No, I'm quite satisfied with you."

Fang Mo glanced at Sekingar. Honestly, he had a good impression of the Hero Association. The lower levels worked hard, and the heroes were responsible.

The only issue was the corruption and greed at the top, but... Fang Mo knew that all organizations became like this over time. He wasn't short on money, so he didn't mind their corruption as long as they got things done.

After a brief explanation, the others roughly understood Fang Mo's intentions.

They interpreted it as Fang Mo becoming an S-class hero for the Hero Association by divine will. The gods could not bear to see suffering and sent Fang Mo to save humanity.

This matched Fang Mo's mysterious origins.

Actually, this is no longer a secret. Someone as powerful as Fang Mo appearing inexplicably in Z City, without any prior information about him, is quite strange, isn't it?

And now, with the reason being "the descent of a proxy god," everything seems to make sense.

The explanation is that Fang Mo is originally a divine being from the divine kingdom created by the original god, Teyvat. Now that his mission is over, he naturally has to return.

"So, that's how it is?"

After hearing this explanation, the expressions of the heroes varied. Some were relieved, others were disappointed, and most remained silent, lost in their thoughts.

"Priest..."

At this moment, Child Emperor spoke first, reluctantly looking up at Fang Mo: "When do you plan to leave here?"

"In a day or two, probably," Fang Mo replied after some thought. Although he was tempted by the promises made earlier by Xiao Yao, there was a lot of mess he had to clean up.

"I see."

Child Emperor nodded. Although they had won a significant victory against the Monster Association, he couldn't feel happy and felt a bit down. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Can I visit you at your place tonight?"

"It's possible, but I might have to change my residence," Fang Mo replied, glancing around. The no-man's-land in Z City had been turned into a huge crater by his ultimate move, so he had to use the World Box to retrieve his villa.

"Why not come to my place instead?" King suggested. "You've helped me a lot before, so let me return the favor this time."

"That works too," Fang Mo agreed, as it didn't matter where he wrapped things up.

Thus, the discussion quickly ended. As the place was still technically a battlefield, the heroes quickly got back to work, trying to rescue any survivors.

Being quite capable heroes, they soon had some initial success in their search and rescue efforts. The mercenaries hired by Narinki, saved by Pig God, survived thanks to their high-tech battle suits and were soon found, having been thrown into the sea along with the rubble.

Apart from this, no other survivors were found. The area was initially deserted, and due to the Monster Association, it was overrun by monsters, so anyone who could escape had already fled. Even the bravest wouldn't stay.

Moreover, many heroes were concerned about the surviving monster, Pochi. Even the Hero Association's senior officer, Sekingar, sensed that Pochi had a catastrophic threat level, at least Dragon level, making everyone wary.

Sweet Mask even wanted to eliminate it, but Fang Mo intervened, saying it was just his dog, and anyone who killed it would have to take its place as his dog. Pochi barked cooperatively and even changed its size. Narinki also supported Fang Mo, saying that having monsters as pets was not uncommon among the world's top tycoons.

Given that both Fang Mo and Narinki were major shareholders, Sekingar had no choice but to comply, as offending them both could mean the end of the Hero Association.

The rescue work concluded quickly. The intense battle had affected other cities in the country, so the Hero Association promptly issued deployment orders, sending many heroes to other cities to handle the aftermath. Tatsumaki, for instance, hadn't shown up because she was busy dealing with the repercussions of natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis.

Many heroes were dispatched to deal with these disasters, including Fang Mo's helper, Ancient One, who went to another city to help with the rescue.

However, it was worth noting that Bang remained there, not speaking but standing with a complex expression, seemingly waiting for an outcome. His brother, Bomb, patted his shoulder in a comforting manner.

Fang Mo glanced at the mirror dimension and saw that the battle between Garou and Boros had finally ended. Surprisingly, their fight unlocked a new module for him.
