Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 219: Steve

The moving process for Surtur went very smoothly.

To prevent him from demolishing the entire underground cavern, Fang Mo first created an ultra-low temperature field around the area to suppress Surtur's attributes.

Next, he stabbed the End Sword into the ground.

With a slight movement of his thoughts, Fang Mo's strong mental will unsealed the End Resonance.

Ash, lava, heatwaves, and flames gushed out from the End Sword, quickly forming the body of the fire giant Surtur. However, this guy was so enormous that even sitting would pierce the ceiling of the cave and risk being discovered by patrolling Reapers.

So Fang Mo had to use the gravity field of the Void Ring to forcibly pin him to the ground.

As soon as Surtur emerged, he was suppressed. He initially wanted to rage, but he backed down immediately after seeing Fang Mo and Steve approach.

No choice, Surtur could resist Fang Mo's physical attacks, but the square-shaped creature next to him was too weird. His elemental defenses couldn't block the attacks; a few cuts almost killed him. Surtur had been thinking about this for months in the End Sword and still couldn't figure it out.

After friendly negotiations, Surtur agreed to be sealed into a new weapon.

Since he was so cooperative, Fang Mo didn't beat him up but instead threw the sword to him.

A look of resignation appeared on Surtur's lava-composed face. His gigantic body that nearly filled the entire testing field rapidly shrank and was consumed by the giant sword in front of him.

After gaining the fire giant as its core, Laevatein instantly emitted a blinding light like the sun.

Not to mention Ichigo Kurosaki and Yoruichi, even the sunglasses-wearing Uncle Zangetsu couldn't help but shield his eyes from the light.

After a while, the light dissipated.

A sword as thick as a door was stuck in the ground.

Fang Mo walked up, pulled the sword out of the ground.

The reforged Laevatein was over two meters long, taller than a door frame, and its blade width also exceeded forty centimeters.

Honestly, this sword could serve as a shield just by standing it up.

Due to various enhancements and the influence of the fire giant Surtur, the reforged Laevatein exhibited a golden-red metallic texture.

The sword hilt was a semi-transparent red gem, inside which seemed to burn an intense fire.

As for the guard, it wasn't an ordinary metal handguard but formed from Surtur's twisted crown. The bifurcated guard looked like devil's horns.

At the center of this crown-like guard, a core made of flame crystal was embedded.

Looking further up, the wide blade protruded from above Surtur's crown, as if flames were burning atop his head. Contrary to MC game settings, the blade was not made of starmetal and blazing iron on either side but fused into an unknown alloy that even Fang Mo didn't know the composition of.

The hilt, crossguard, and the latter half of the blade of this sword are deep red. From the middle of the blade towards the tip, the color gradually changes from orange-red to radiant gold, then to blazing white.

The whole sword looks both aesthetically pleasing and carries a sense of destructive power.

Fang Mo's thoughts move slightly.

Instantly, Laevatein erupts into a burst of flames.

With a thunderous explosion, it feels as if the entire underground space shakes.

A terrifying heatwave instantly sweeps through the space; the hot springs begin to evaporate, and the hair of Ichigo Kurosaki and Yoruichi starts to curl and smoke.

"Hey hey! What are you doing?"

Yoruichi quickly uses spiritual pressure to protect her body and shouts at Fang Mo.

The next second, a burst of cold air lowers the temperature of the entire space. Then, from the smoke, Fang Mo's excited voice rings out.

"Holy crap, this great sword is so intense!"

Accompanying this voice, Fang Mo slowly emerges from the dispersed smoke.

At this moment, he is carrying this door-sized, massive flaming sword. Rolling flames emerge from the blade; even with a zero-degree ring constantly cooling, the places he passes are instantly melted into almost boiling lava.

The previous explosion sound was actually because the temperature was too high, causing the rocks on the ground to instantly sublimate into gas.

This reaction process is extremely fast, so it looked like an explosion.

"What on Earth did you create?"

Seeing Fang Mo approach, Yoruichi also quickly takes a step back, "Did you steal the abilities of the Head Captain's Zanpakuto? It's too similar..."

"Already struggling and I haven't even gone all out?"

At this moment, Fang Mo is like a child who has found a new toy, excitedly swinging the Laevatein sword, "This thing is so cool, the Tinker' Construct is amazing...I'm truly putting in effort!"

Yes, Fang Mo has indeed not gone all out yet.

The flames burning on the blade right now aren't even considered a regular attack.

The power of the Fire Giant Surtur and the flame mode of his arcane ring haven't even been activated. Earlier, the arcane ring absorbed the Eternal Fire, making the flames released possess some characteristics of the Eternal Fire.

Combine the Eternal Fire with Surtur, and add the flame ring; destroying Seireitei would be a piece of cake, okay?

This sword was originally forged with stellar metal. Although Fang Mo isn't clear on how to determine what qualifies as stellar metal, Uru is said to be produced in dying stars, which is likely a type of stellar metal. In other words, the lowest limit of this sword is a weapon of the God-King level.

As for its upper limit, Fang Mo hasn't figured it out yet.

"How is it?"

Fang Mo grinned and waved the Laevatein in his hand, then asked Yoruichi, "Is my big sword impressive? Who's bigger, mine or the Head Captain ?"

"Can you please put away your power?"

Veins popped on Yoruichi's forehead, "If you don't put this thing away, all the hot springs here will evaporate."

"Hahaha, alright."

Fang Mo was in a good mood and extinguished the flames on the sword with a thought.

He then walked over to the hot springs and poured several buckets of blue-green hot spring water from Steve's body, replenishing the half-evaporated hot spring.

After doing all of this,

Fang Mo walked over to the fallen Ichigo Kurosaki.

Yes, Ichigo Kurosaki had fainted from the heat. Unfortunately, although his spiritual pressure is strong, his application skills are poor and can't compare to Yoruichi. Especially since he had been sparring intensely with Uncle Zangetsu, he was exhausted and had passed out.

Seeing this, Fang Mo activated his gravity field and directly lifted him off the ground.

"Good grief, little Ichigo has been baked to a curl..."

Fang Mo couldn't bear to look and immediately threw Ichigo Kurosaki into the nearly boiling hot spring. The healing power of the holy spring was very strong, and within a few seconds, Ichigo Kurosaki woke up and screamed, jumping out of the hot spring.

"Hey, hey, you can't even last a few seconds?"

Fang Mo saw Ichigo Kurosaki jump out and couldn't help but mock him, "This is a sign of kidney deficiency; as a man, sit back down and soak for a while."

"I'm just a high school student, okay!?"

Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't help but shout.

"So you have kidney deficiency in high school and that's justified?" Fang Mo perked up upon hearing this, "Wait until you marry Orihime Inoue, you'll have a lot to answer for!"

"Eh? What...what...!?"

Hearing this, Ichigo Kurosaki's face turned red instantly: "Inoue-san... getting married? What... what are you talking about?"

"You'll know eventually."

After teasing Ichigo Kurosaki briefly, Fang Mo no longer paid him any attention and went to soak in the hot spring by himself.

Looking at the bubbling pool in front of him, and the blocks of magma not far away, Fang Mo's memories began to drift. He remembered the times in the server when his partner built a hot spring pool at home using magma blocks and hot spring water to level up their armor.

However, somehow the news leaked, and as a result, people from the entire server came every day to soak their feet.

A perfectly good old industrial base was turned into a bathhouse by them!

Recalling his partner's angry look, and the scenes of those friends soaking in the virtual bath while boasting and chattering, it seemed like a long time ago.

"Sigh"

Thinking of this, Fang Mo let out a long sigh.

Then he took out a crystal greatsword and released the Snow Queen from within.

"Master."

Ah Xue respectfully stood beside the hot spring pool: "May I assist you with anything?"

"Come and try it."

Fang Mo gestured to Ah Xue.

"But, Master," Ah Xue seemed hesitant, "I have a chill in me..."

"It's fine, isn't there a magma block?"

Fang Mo pointed to the reddish-brown blocks in front of him: "Come and try it."

"Alright."

Ah Xue nodded, then without hesitation, removed her clothes and entered the hot spring pool.

The entire pool's temperature dropped the moment she entered. It had been boiling, but now the boiling stopped, leaving only a faint steam lingering.

Fortunately, the magma blocks were a heat source, constantly warming the pool water.

As Ah Xue tried to restrain her chill, a subtle balance was struck between her chill and the heat from the magma blocks.

"See, it worked out, didn't it?"

Seeing this, Fang Mo immediately revealed a satisfied smile, then asked Ah Xue: "Do you know about the kidney reflex zone?"

"Eh? What?"

Ah Xue blinked in confusion: "Master, what is that?"

"You don't know?"

Fang Mo rubbed his chin, then waved his hand: "It's fine, it's not important. Today I'll teach you a skill that can earn you a living. Pay attention, we'll start by recognizing the acupoints on the soles of the feet"
