Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 370: Chapter 367: A call from Makima

Under the 'cordial' hospitality of the scarred man,

The recovery abilities of the members of the Fourth Special Division have greatly improved.

As a result, in just one day, the strength of these people has seen a very significant advancement.

After the training ended, Fang Mo generously gave each person a sum of financial aid. Seeing the money, everyone felt much more balanced in their minds. The Violence Devil happily took Kobeni and the Angel Devil to eat ice cream.

Reze took Denji to a café, probably wanting to explain the cause and effect of this matter.

In short, it wasn't long before all the members of the Fourth Special Division had left.

Leaving only Fang Mo behind to clean up the battlefield.

But when it comes to cleaning up the battlefield, Fang Mo simply lets Shoggoth out to clean up the flesh scraps, bones, and the remaining blood in the blood pools.

It couldn't be helped.

If these weren't cleaned up,

In this weather, the flesh and blood would soon start to smell bad, and then this place would probably become a paradise for maggots. Fang Mo really disliked those things and would avoid them if possible.

Shoggoth's efficiency in cleaning the battlefield was very high.

Fang Mo just stood there in a daze for a while, and it had already completed its task.

"Chirp!"

Shoggoth, as if seeking praise, approached Fang Mo's leg, chirped softly, and then extended a tentacle to point at its body, probably wanting a pat on the head.

However, Fang Mo did not reach out, but instead touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Shoggoth, have you grown up?"

Indeed, this creature's diet had been excellent recently, so its size had also grown more than a little bit.

When Fang Mo ate, he fed Shoggoth meat in groups, and strictly speaking, Shoggoth wasn't a carnivore. It ate vegetables, microorganisms, and even soil. After all this indiscriminate eating, coupled with an endless supply of skinners, this creature had indeed grown a lot in size.

Initially, it was just a palm-sized black elastic gelatinous creature.

But now... it had grown almost half a person tall, looking like an overturned large water tank at first glance.

However, although it had grown quite a bit, Shoggoth didn't look scary. It could indeed materialize a bunch of eyes, mouths, and other organs, but Fang Mo didn't like that, so Shoggoth still maintained its most original appearance, which was a large lump of pure black elastic gelatinous creature.

But the problem was, with its increased size, Fang Mo couldn't play with it in his hand anymore.

"Ji?"

Upon hearing Fang Mo's words, Shoggoth seemed a bit puzzled: "Jiji?"

"Yes, I prefer smaller ones." Fang Mo smiled and nodded: "If you could become a bit smaller, I might like you even more. After all, a tiny Shoggoth is very cute."

"Ji..."

After listening to Fang Mo's words, Shoggoth seemed to seriously contemplate this idea.

Not long after, Shoggoth seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stretched out a tentacle towards Fang Mo, as if wanting to touch fingers with him.

Fang Mo instinctively extended his finger.

But as soon as his hand reached out, Shoggoth' tentacle suddenly broke in the middle. The broken half of the tentacle quickly shrank to the size of a palm and then 'pop' jumped onto Fang Mo's hand.

"Ji! Jiji!"

The Shoggoth that jumped onto Fang Mo's hand started calling out happily.

"Hm?"

Fang Mo was also stunned by this sight.

"Ji!"

Seeing this, Shoggoth called out again and then happily climbed onto Fang Mo's body, directly scaling his arm to the top of his head, and even lightly jumped a couple of times.

"You're saying you come with a consciousness network?"

After hearing Shoggoth' explanation, Fang Mo couldn't help but be amazed: "Wow, what a sage like slime... no, wait, this seems a bit conflicting. Well, let's just call you Root Shoggoth."

Fang Mo was not surprised that Shoggoth had the ability to split itself.

After all, even the slimes in the MC world can split.

But what Fang Mo didn't expect was that Shoggoth' splitting was not for reproduction or creating duplicates. Every cell of it was its own entity, similar to the slug sage in the world of Naruto, able to split and merge at will. All its split forms shared a single consciousness, the so-called quantum consciousness network. This was indeed impressive.

It was unexpected that such a strong effect would result from pouring a small bottle of Chemical X into it.

"Turn entirely into a small blob for me to see."

After pondering, Fang Mo issued an order to the Shoggoth in front of him.

As a result, in the next second, the Shoggoth in front of him exploded instantly. Yes, it exploded. Hundreds of small black sticky blobs jumped out from inside and began to scatter around joyfully.

These Shoggoth, looking like shiny coal balls, were full of elasticity. Some jumped onto Fang Mo, some bounced around on the ground, and others remained stationary but stretched out their small tentacles, waving them in the air. Each Shoggoth was chirping, making the whole scene look chaotic.

"Wow, they even seem a bit cute..."

Seeing this, Fang Mo also laughed and casually picked up two small Shoggoth and started rolling them in his hands.

Perhaps it was because of the consumption of Chemical X, or some other reason, but the Shoggoth indeed underwent significant evolution. This evolution not only turned them into root Shoggoth, but their body structure also changed.

Their bodies, unlike their kin's sticky, slime-like consistency, were instead very bouncy and flexible.

In Fang Mo's own words, the touch of Shoggoth felt like rubber when hard, and when soft... it was extremely soft and slippery, with a perfect elasticity when squeezed. This texture, as those who know, know, was something Fang Mo himself found endlessly enjoyable. If he had a bed full of Shoggoth and lay on it, it would be like enjoying heaven.

Of course, this would only be true for Fang Mo.

If it were someone else, they might actually end up in heaven.

In any case, after playing with the Shoggoth for a while, Fang Mo did not delay for too long. Now, Ah Xue had already prepared dinner at home, so he quickly took the Shoggoth back home.

Upon seeing this large group of Shoggoth, Ah Xue also seemed stunned.

However, she didn't say anything. These little guys were well-behaved and obedient, and always helped with the household chores, so Ah Xue quite liked them.

But this large group of jumping and hopping Shoggoth was indeed a bit noisy.

So, after dinner.

Fang Mo only kept a small group of Shoggoth and ordered the rest to converge together. Then he transferred this large mass to the planet Ego, letting them go play with the scarred man.

There's not much to say about that night. Fang Mo had been researching the materialization of the MC reality in the evenings, but today, at the persuasion of Ah Xue, he finally had a good sleep.

However, early the next morning, Fang Mo was directly awakened by a phone call.

After answering the phone, Fang Mo was stunned because the call was from Makima, who normally would never call him. After all, the two didn't get along, and she usually had Hayakawa Aki convey messages to him.

So, this phone call meant... something had happened.
