Reborn with Steve Stand-Chapter 596: Strike Team Goes to Ship

"So... Can my disciples can join as well?"

Atomic Samurai scratched his head and asked, "Is it that... uh, the church you created called what?"

"Of course, they can."

Upon hearing this, Fang Mo immediately showed a benevolent and amiable expression, opening his arms as if to welcome: "There are no special rules in our church, you see, even Puri-Puri Prisoner, the gay guy, has already become a believer of the Original God... after all, God loves all people, and under the Original God, all beings are equal."

"This sounds like a rather gentle church."

Atomic Samurai also stroked his chin, seemingly pondering something.

"Of course," Fang Mo quickly agreed: "Our church's faith is actually very tolerant. We say Original God, but this 'original' can be interpreted in countless ways; you could understand it as the God of origin and creation, the God of atoms and stardust, the God of gemstones and krypton, or even the God of original flavor flying spaghetti, ah, it's indescribably wonderful."

"You believe in atoms in your church?"

Hearing this, Atomic Samurai was a bit surprised: "Hmm... God of Atoms, that goes quite well with my hero name, doesn't it?"

"Right?"

Fang Mo chuckled and said: "Not only is our church liberal in its faith, but the gifts we give to believers are also very liberal... for example, if you join, I would give you katanas as gifts, but if it were old men and women, I would give eggs and sheep milk powder."

"Since that's the case, then I might as well join."

Having heard so much, Atomic Samurai was almost convinced by Fang Mo, and immediately nodded: "If it's good, I can introduce people from the Sword Saint Association to join the church."

"Master, that..."

However, seeing his master's demeanor, Iaian couldn't help but speak up to remind him: "I've heard that the Church of the Original God has quite a few fanatics..."

"Hmm?"

Fang Mo suddenly turned his head and glanced at him.

Without any warning, Iaian suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

"What's wrong, Iai?"

Atomic Samurai also turned his head to look at his disciple: "What were you about to say? What fanatics?"

"It's the fanatical believers." Iaian shifted his gaze and said: "I think it must be because this church is very appealing that it attracts many fervent believers."

"Is that so."

Hearing his disciple say this, Atomic Samurai nodded more assuredly: "Very well, then let's all join together. Your weapons also need to be changed."

"Remember to come to me for new equipment after this monster incident is over."

Fang Mo was naturally very pleased, his face again breaking into an innocuous smile, patting Atomic Samurai on the shoulder.

At this point, the task of deceiving the other party had been successful.

What followed was to trick him into using a giant black rubber bull to perform the Atomic Slash... but that would be a more difficult task, so what should he do next?

However, just as Fang Mo fell into thought,

Tatsumaki once again attacked the spaceship in the sky.

Due to Fang Mo twisting the original plot, A City was not reduced to ruins, so Tatsumaki couldn't use telekinesis to grab concrete and smash the spaceship directly.

But that didn't mean she lacked other means of attack.

At that moment, Tatsumaki raised her hands above her head, slowly making a motion similar to wringing a towel.

In fact, this was Tatsumaki's ultimate move, turning her mental power into a giant telekinetic Tatsumaki, sucking in all enemies and shredding them to pieces. Because the move was brutal and extremely powerful, she was known as the terrifying Tornado.

Under Tatsumaki's fearsome telekinetic force, even a super-sized battleship capable of crossing the universe could not help but emit a metal-twisting creak.

Many parts of the ship's hull were directly deformed, with some areas even exploding, sending out bursts of flames.

Unfortunately, it wasn't long before the spaceship suddenly lit up with a burst of blue-purple light.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Tatsumaki frowned: "The level of psychic power... There's actually a dragon-level monster on this spaceship?"

And because Groribas had just been directly smashed to death by Fang Mo's cleaver, and Puri-Puri Prisoner had successfully held off Melzargard, the heroes were now relatively free, and Bang casually walked towards Tatsumaki.

"Tatsumaki, how's it going over here?"

Bang asked.

"Some fool is trying to stop me." Tatsumaki was as haughty as ever, staring at the spaceship and said: "Just wait a bit, I'll soon have that guy twisted into a pile of debris."

"That... I have something to tell everyone."

Just then, Child Emperor seemed to have also realized something, and hurriedly came over to speak: "The dragon-level monster on that spaceship should not be the leader, there's another monster above it, a terrifying existence that we might not be able to defeat even if we join forces."

"Huh?"

However, Tatsumaki just raised an eyebrow: "A monster that we can't deal with even if we join forces? How could such a thing exist? If you're scared, just go home, kid, leave it all to me to handle."

"I..."

Child Emperor was about to explain something else.

But at that moment, a restless large hand pressed down on his head.

"Huh?"

Child Emperor seemed stunned for a moment.

But in the next second, Fang Mo's voice quickly rang out: "Hey, why look down on my Child Emperor... Aren't you a child yourself?"

"Since when did you become my uncle?"

Tatsumaki's brow furrowed.

"Oh... sorry, I got carried away." Fang Mo said nonchalantly: "Anyway, Boros that guy is indeed pretty tough, I suggest you don't try to be a hero."

Finally, Fang Mo thought for a moment and added: "Of course, seeing that you're indeed quite cute, you could really consider calling me uncle... The treatment would definitely be adequate, starting with at least universal meatballs and star-studded toast for three meals, would you consider that?"

"Forget it, I don't want to rely on others."

Hearing Fang Mo say this, Tatsumaki unexpectedly just turned her head away.

"Or I can be your dad too."

Fang Mo spread his hands out: "Speaking of which, I only know you as Tornado, I don't even know your real name... How about I call you Aki Tsuki Love from now on?"

(TL: So he's been calling her Tornado the whole time? Tornado/Tatsumaki translate the same wtf)

"Get lost!"

Tatsumaki, hearing this, naturally exploded in anger, her green curly hair moving as if windless, feeling like even the art style was about to change.

"Or call her Sylvie, cool down, come on, master will pat your head..."

"I'll kill you, you bastard!"

Tatsumaki couldn't help but roar, and just then, in that moment of distraction, the spaceship in the sky suddenly broke free of her telekinesis and began to rise rapidly, catching Tatsumaki off guard, who then angrily reached out towards the spaceship with a virtual grasp: "Don't think about escaping!"

Like a sea of psychic power pouring out of her body, she forcibly pulled the giant spaceship.

And after securing the giant spaceship, Tatsumaki glared fiercely at Fang Mo like an angry kitten: "Don't you run either, I'll deal with you after I've handled this spaceship!"

"Hey, hey, I'm just being nice..."

As Fang Mo was about to speak, Bang immediately raised his hand to stop him.

"Priest, and Tatsumaki, now is not the time for arguing and bickering."

Bang spoke in a calm tone, trying to mediate: "This is still A City, have you thought about... if these monsters really make a scene, what will happen to the citizens?"

"..."

Hearing this, Tatsumaki bit her lip and remained silent.

Indeed, although she had a bad temper, she was actually kind-hearted at heart, and as a hero, Tatsumaki would not let her quarreling affect the innocent citizens of A City.

"What to do? What else can we do? Revive them."

However, Fang Mo was less concerned about this, and immediately spread his hands and said: "If the casualties are really too heavy, I'll just go to the neighboring Ninja World and gouge out Black Zetsu's eyeball, and then perform a mass resurrection with the Edo Tensei..."

"...Could you talk less?"

Bang, hearing this, obviously started to have a headache as well.

Actually, there are indeed many unique individuals in the S-class hero team, such as the delinquent Metal Bat, and the gay Puri-Puri Prisoner, among others.

But no matter what, everyone is very righteous, or rather, wholly benevolent, and any danger to civilians would immediately prompt these S-class heroes to act, no matter who it was.

But just this group of people.

There was also Fang Mo, a real oddball mixed in.

It was a situation where lives could have been directly saved, but he had to watch people die thoroughly first, then perform magic to revive them... So what kind of logic is that?

"Forget it, I'll handle it this time."

Thinking this, Bang also helplessly sighed, albeit Fang Mo was also his benefactor, so he didn't really want to say much: "Tatsumaki, can you send me up to the spaceship? You deal with the psychic monster, I'll handle their leader."

"I said, I can handle this crisis by myself!"

However, Tatsumaki was also stubborn, almost without thinking she refused Bang's proposal.

"Stop being stubborn at times like these Bang sighed, "Sometimes the stronger ones are more stubborn, huh?"

But luckily, at this moment, Child Emperor, who had been silently enduring Fang Mo's head-rubbing, also spoke up: "To be able to pilot a spaceship of this scale, the monsters this time are definitely not ordinary... Even if Tatsumaki can handle them, any mistake that hurts the innocents would be bad, so I suggest forming a strike team to board their ship directly, while Tatsumaki stays on the ground."

"Why should I stay on the ground..."

"Because only your strength can control the entire situation, no one else can do that." Child Emperor interrupted Tatsumaki before she could finish speaking, his face serious.

"Ugh, fine."

Hearing this, Tatsumaki's expression softened a bit.

Given the urgency of the situation, the members of the strike team were quickly arranged.

Led by Bang, the team included Child Emperor, Metal Bat, Tanktop Master, and Fang Mo. The five of them together planned to infiltrate the spaceship and defeat its masters.

As for Genos and Sorcerer Supreme, two of the newly advanced S-class heroes, they were responsible for staying on the ground with Tatsumaki, partly to prevent any unexpected situations with the spaceship and partly to help keep an eye on Puri-Puri Prisoner, who was currently engaged in a battle with Melzargard. His potential defeat was also a factor to consider.

Speaking of S-class heroes.

There were still two S-class heroes who had not been counted in this operation.

One of them was Atomic Samurai, who hadn't joined the assault on the spaceship simply because his sword had broken.

Although he claimed he could use his disciple's sword just as well, after deliberation, Child Emperor felt that the current strength of the team was sufficient. After all, it was a strike team, and there couldn't be too many people.

If they really encountered an unbeatable situation, they could always ask Sorcerer Supreme to open a portal and call for reinforcements from the ground, so Atomic Samurai was not included.

Besides Atomic Samurai.

The other S-class hero who hadn't shown much presence was KING.

Now, he was a real heavyweight. Allegedly, his track record was terrifying, known as having blasted his way through various dragon-level monsters to quickly rise to S-class, even respected by other S-class heroes as "the strongest man on the earth." Once the King Engine started, all evil would vanish in an instant.

But in reality, the situation was completely the opposite.

He had absolutely no combat ability and was the kind of comedic character typically found in Japanese anime, somewhat like Mr. Satan from Dragon Ball.

As for his so-called track record, it was all fake.

He just happened to pass by, then coincidentally encountered a monster that had been killed by Saitama's punch, and then froze in place, scared silly. Passersby discovered him and assumed he had defeated the monster, inexplicably elevating him to an S-class position.

And because of this, KING obviously couldn't participate in the strike team.

Honestly, he was scared to death right now, but fortunately, he had met Saitama here, which allowed him to relax a bit.

The arrangements were quickly made.

With the help of the Ancient One's portal, the team was soon transported to the spaceship.

But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they stepped through the orange-red ring of fire, they immediately encountered a one-eyed monster wearing armor.

"Who are you?"

The monster seemed quite surprised: "You've already fought your way here?"

"Are you just fodder?" The Tanktop Master, who had been slacking off until now, seemed to want to show off a bit, so he gathered some strength and charged forward: "Anyway, if it's just fodder, leave it to me..."

"TankTop Tackle!"
