Reborn with Steve Stand

"Do you know who you are?"

Looking at the Heaven Expeller in front of him, Fang Mo suddenly asked.

"I... who am I?"

The Heaven Expeller was bewildered by the question. It looked around blankly, finding everything unfamiliar, as if its memory was malfunctioning. Only the man before it evoked a strange sense of familiarity.

"Yes," Fang Mo seized the moment, nodding. "Do you not remember who you are?"

"I, I don't know..."

The Heaven Expeller's tone was hesitant. "Who am I? Who are you? Where is this place?"

"I am your master! Bruce!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Mo immediately cried out in grief and emotion.

The Heaven Expeller was stunned, but perhaps that sense of familiarity stirred something in its heart, leading it to quickly accept this notion. "So, you are my master?"

Listening to this, Summon couldn't help but wipe her face.

Yes, she had witnessed the whole process and understood what was happening.

Originally, Fang Mo had dragged her into this act. Both of them started by lying on the ground, with Fang Mo shouting, "Oh, don't hurt my little Bruce!" But although the Heaven Expeller hesitated, it quickly launched an attack, swinging its lightsaber and sending lightning bolts crashing down.

After that, Fang Mo stopped playing the helpless victim.

Instead, he employed his usual tactics against other lords... first eliminating a bunch of minions, then bringing the lord down and coercing it.

In Summon's view, the journey through the Vestibule of Darkness should have ended quickly.

Unexpectedly, this Heaven Expeller was extraordinarily stubborn, fighting to the death.

Seeing this, Fang Mo tried various methods, but whether through beating or persuasion, the Heaven Expeller remained unyielding. In the end, even though its entire army was decimated, it continued to fight alone.

This was in stark contrast to the previous lords, Lakius the Dragonoid and Dogrie the Puppet King.

However, one couldn't blame them. After all, both the Dragonoid and the Puppeteer were emotional beings, unlike these Exiles.

They were just a bunch of magically driven armors, feeling neither pain nor fear.

Understanding this principle naturally led to a solution.

So, in Summon's view, Fang Mo suddenly took out a book, grabbed the Heaven Expeller, and slammed it onto an anvil, pressing the book into it.

This book was nothing else but an enchantment book named 'Loyalty.'

After a song of loyalty, Fang Mo summoned Steve to use a renaming card, right-clicking to rename the Heaven Expeller to Dark Knight Bruce, leading to the initial scene.

The Heaven Expeller seemed to be completely formatted.

Realizing this, Fang Mo immediately began brainwashing it.

"You were originally Bruce Wayne, a famous wealthy young man."

"One day, when you were still young, you traveled with your parents. Passing by the Elvenguard, you wandered into a small alley... no, you wandered into the Screaming Cavern and witnessed a woman named Hilder performing a forbidden teleportation spell, transferring the Apostle Sirocco deep into the Screaming Cavern."

"You witnessed this, so Hilder killed your parents with magic to silence them. You were too young to be targeted and escaped."

"Even so, you could never forget that scene, your parents dying in front of you, their pearl necklace and belongings scattered, taken by the evil Buffalo team. Listening to their laughter, you vowed to avenge against the Second Apostle Hilder."

"After many twists and turns, you met Bakal, the Tyrant Dragon King, also an Apostle."

"Upon learning of your desire for revenge, Bakal told you Hilder's plot was to kill all Apostles, and you asked for power."

"Bakal used magic to turn you into a Heaven Expeller, losing your identity and becoming cold armor. You fought everywhere, seeking to oppose Hilder alongside Bakal."

"Bakal feared his own death and entrusted you to me, hoping I could fulfill your wish."

"Eventually, Bakal did die in Hilder's conspiracy. I was lost in the dimensional rift until I recently found you, knowing you lost all memory, eternally asleep in the Sky City."

"In short, this is your life as the Dark Knight."

Fang Mo solemnly looked at the Heaven Expeller, filling in the gaps in its memory. "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it."

"Is... is that so?"

The Heaven Expeller, now renamed Dark Knight Bruce, took a few shocked steps back. "Lord Bakal... no wonder you feel so familiar, so that's why."

"Yes, yes, yes," Fang Mo nodded happily. "I am going to kill Hilder now, will you join me?"

"Please allow me to offer my strength!"

The Dark Knight immediately became excited, and a sinister red glow emerged from the gaps in his armor: "I will kill Hilder! I will avenge my family... I will avenge Lord Bakal!"

"Very good, very good."

Fang Mo raised his hand and pointed to the Summon next to him: "Then go and make a contract with her. She is Bakal's illegitimate daughter, you can call her Long Yutao..."

"Are you looking for trouble!?"

The Summon couldn't help but roar on the spot: "I've said it, I'm not a dragon!"

"Ahem..."

Fang Mo ignored her and explained directly to the Dark Knight: "She was persecuted by Hilder and is no longer a dragon descendant. She has even been transformed into a demon, all due to Hilder's evil schemes."

"Damn Hilder..."

The Dark Knight was visibly furious but soon suppressed his anger, quickly walked over, and knelt down on one knee: "Please make a contract with me!"

"I..."

The Summon was at a loss for words.

Taking a deep breath, she finally chose to compromise, gently pressing her hand on the Dark Knight's helmet.

In the next second, the light of contract magic flashed.

A pattern of the Ring of Domination appeared on the Dark Knight's armor. The golden armor gradually became more profound and eventually turned into a dark gold color, and possibly due to some enchantment, it felt even more powerful.

In short, this guy successfully became one of the summons of the little demon world.

"Alright, you continue to sleep here."

Seeing the contract established, Fang Mo waved his hand at the Dark Knight: "We will summon you if we need you."

"Yes, master."

The Dark Knight responded briefly.

Soon, a layer of gray stone appeared, once again enveloping his body.

"Alright, let's go."

After this, Fang Mo turned to the Summon: "The next level should be the last. Once you capture the Lord of Light Castellan, Sieghart, we should be almost through."

"So, what tricks are you up to next?"

The Summon asked: "I even suspect now that you are the Dragon King Bakal... Do you actually want to confront Hilder yourself?"

"What? Do you want me to resurrect Bakal to show you?"

Fang Mo glanced at her: "Do you believe I can make him acknowledge you as his daughter with just a word?"

"...No need."

Hearing this, the Summon felt a bit disheartened.

"I am kindly helping you increase your strength, and not only are you ungrateful, but you also dare to question me." Fang Mo continued assertively: "To be honest, if it weren't for my help, you probably wouldn't have even gotten past the Puppet King..."

As he was speaking.

A sudden system notification popped up in Fang Mo's mind.

"Hmm?"

This unexpected system notification surprised Fang Mo. He looked and found it was a teleportation request from Xiao Yao.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Fang Mo suddenly go quiet, the Summon curiously looked around.

"Hmm..."

Fang Mo glanced at the nearby Loli demon, who was still wearing that silly snowman suit, and thought there was no need to hide it, so he said directly: "I just got a message. My wife is coming to check on me, please cooperate."

"Ah?"

The Summon was also momentarily stunned.

At this moment, Fang Mo had already controlled Steve to input the acceptance command.

Soon, a petite figure appeared beside Fang Mo, and the Summon instinctively looked over.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yao also instinctively observed her surroundings upon arrival.

Although the visibility in the Vestibule of Darkness was poor, the snowman-suited magician was obviously noticeable: "Is this... a player?"

"Oh, no."

Fang Mo explained briefly: "Just an ordinary native. I forced her to wear the snowman suit."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao nodded and then curiously observed the other party. Compared to Fang Mo, she was more polite to strangers: "Hello, I'm Xiao Yao, his partner."

"Huh?"

This sudden politeness left Summon a bit stunned.

Given Fang Mo's personality, she thought the other person would also be someone with a dark sense of humor. So she quickly said: "Uh, hello, my name is Summon... no, I mean, my name is Flavo."

"Don't listen to her."

Fang Mo quickly interjected: "She's now called Summon."

"...Is she the Summon I know?" Xiao Yao's expression turned a bit odd upon hearing this: "This is the game world of Dungeon and Warrior, not the game world of Glory of Hearts, right?"

"Ahem, just a joke."

Fang Mo's eyes darted: "Don't mind the details."

"Tsk, I knew it..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao rolled her eyes at Fang Mo: "You almost made me think I met an old friend. As I expected, Sister Yudi can't possibly be here. Can't you be a bit more restrained with your jokes next time?"

Her criticism wasn't unfounded.

Because she actually knew this 'Summon.'

Previously, it was mentioned that Fang Mo deliberately gave this little demon world person this name to commemorate an old friend, whom Xiao Yao also knew. Strictly speaking, they were mutual friends, just like Xiaoyue and the others.

"Sigh, you don't understand."

Fang Mo shrugged indifferently: "This is my unique way of remembering friends, keeping them on my lips all the time..."

"Why don't you just keep them in your mouth then?"

Xiao Yao retorted, then quickly got to the point: "Alright, enough joking. I've finished setting up those portals. They're now stored in the world box. Can you materialize them when you have time?"

"So fast?"

Fang Mo was a bit surprised.

"There's no shortage of materials at home." Xiao Yao said casually: "The real time-consuming part was making the Linking Book and binding the coordinates to each world."

"How many worlds can be materialized now?"

Fang Mo asked curiously.

"Well..."

Xiao Yao tilted her head slightly and said: "The main world, the Nether, the End, the Twilight Forest, the Mechanical Dimension, the Antimatter World, the Chaos Land, and the nine different worlds of Mystcraft, along with the four dimensions of the Abyss Realm and the four dimensions of the Dimensional Gate... Excluding the worlds you've already materialized, there should be about twenty left?"

"What?"

Fang Mo was stunned: "That many?"

"Yes."

Xiao Yao nodded: "You've materialized all the dimensions of the Abyss Realm, but you haven't materialized the dangerous void and dimensional prison of the Dimensional Gate mod. Adding them up, it's about right."

"Damn... won't I soar this time?"

Fang Mo was visibly excited.

"So, do you want to try?" Xiao Yao looked around: "There's plenty of space here. How about we set one up here?"

"Do it, do it now."

Fang Mo nodded quickly. To be honest, he was also quite curious about how the main world would look after being materialized. He immediately said: "Let's test the main world first."

"Alright then."

Xiao Yao responded, and then her expression became unfocused. Soon, Alex emerged from her body, took out a world box, and placed it on the ground.

As the world box was opened.

A crystal-clear blue portal appeared in front of them.

The portal rippled like water waves, seemingly connecting to an ancient and endless time-space.
