Chapter 76: Chapter 75 - A Purple Titan
Kaneki Ken secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If there had been any real conflict, his cover as a normal employee could have been blown. The area was near Times Square, bustling with people. His mission was straightforward: ensure the company's comic releases were stable. Natasha's infiltration was pointless; the company had no secret documents or useful information.
Xu Mo had placed Kaneki in the company simply to prevent Natasha from investigating him and potentially discovering actual leads. No leads meant the need to continue undercover operations. The company wasn't going to be suddenly shut down by S.H.I.E.L.D., after all. They wouldn't burn out their agents like that.
Kaneki finished his coffee with a calm demeanor, his cute eyes narrowing in thought. Was Natasha's presence here a coincidence, or was it deliberate? Meanwhile, Natasha committed the face of this enigmatic man to memory, planning to run his features through the S.H.I.E.L.D. database later.
As they walked into the company side by side, Natasha tried to pry information from Kaneki. However, Kaneki was resolute and stoic, unfazed by her attempts. He internally chuckled, imagining her futile attempts to seduce him. "Nice try, but I'm not falling for that," he thought, amused.
While the subtle battle of wits continued between Kaneki and Natasha, Xu Mo was content to let things unfold. He was busy with another task entirely. "Master, please give an order," said a muscular figure that could easily be mistaken for Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was the Terminator T800, standing before Xu Mo.
Xu Mo sighed, feeling a bit underwhelmed. The T800 wasn't as versatile as the more advanced models like the TX, lacking the liquid metal transformation. It was durable, but once damaged, it required manual repairs. For most people, having a Terminator would be a dream come true, but Xu Mo found it somewhat impractical. "Might as well put it to some use," he thought.
"Or... you can start drawing," Xu Mo instructed the T800, seating it at an extra desk to copy sketches. True to its robotic nature, the Terminator could replicate drawings perfectly and tirelessly, as long as it had power. This gave Xu Mo more time to focus on planning the next issue of Juvenile Jump, the manga magazine currently serializing six titles: One Punch Man, Attack on Titan, Tokyo Ghoul, Naruto, Bleach, and Yu-Gi-Oh!.
The magazine featured 24 chapters per month, which was standard for a comic magazine, but not enough for Xu Mo. With only six series, the content felt lacking, especially for long-running shounen series. Xu Mo decided to increase the publication frequency and introduce another comic series while scaling back on the number of chapters for Attack on Titan. The initial explosive popularity of Attack on Titan had successfully established the company's reputation. Now, it was time to take things at a slower pace. Even summoning a 150-meter Titan in the Marvel universe wouldn't be of much help to the story.
Xu Mo sorted his notes, jotting down the plan, and sent them via email to Andy, the company's editor. "It's a peaceful life," Xu Mo mused, lounging on the balcony. Lorna Dane, Gali, and Alice all rolled their eyes at his apparent leisure. "Letting a Shadow Clone handle everything, and even delegating tasks to Kaneki. Can you be any lazier?"
As Xu Mo basked in his idle thoughts, an itch for excitement crept in. He remembered the thrill of drawing new comic chapters and felt the familiar urge to create. He had accumulated 6.8 million fan points and decided to use a million of them to try his luck with a lottery system he had developed.
[Congratulations, Host, you have received Any Door.]
"Jackpot!" Xu Mo couldn't believe his luck. The prize was a large, pink-framed door with a black metal interior. The door, known as "Any Door," allowed the user to think of a destination and open the door to that place, with a range limit of 10 light years.
Xu Mo grinned, eager to test it out. He fiddled with the doorknob and decided to visit Lorna's room. The door creaked open, and a transparent gap appeared, framing the air as if it had been cut. Xu Mo peeked through, careful not to alert Lorna. After a few more tries at home, he got an idea: "Why not visit an alien planet?" he thought. The vibrant images of Xandar from the movies came to mind, but the door wouldn't budge.
[Host, the effective range of Any Door is 10 light years. The target planet is beyond this range.]
"Ten light-years, huh? I guess I'll just pick somewhere random," Xu Mo mumbled. After thinking hard, he finally settled on a destination and opened the door. Stepping through, he found himself on a gray planet, the air filled with dust and yellow sand.
Xu Mo walked a few steps and saw towering ruins, remnants of a bygone civilization. The massive structures dwarfed anything on Earth. Above him, the planet's earthy-yellow rings loomed, giving the desolate landscape an eerie beauty. "Not much to see here," he muttered, unimpressed.
Just as Xu Mo was about to head back, a deep, resonant voice spoke from behind him, "Yeah, this place has always been boring."
Startled, Xu Mo felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around slowly, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. There stood a massive figure, unmistakable even in the dim light.
"Why are you here?" the voice continued, echoing with an ominous authority. "It's been a long time since anyone visited this planet. I come here every year to reflect on what once was."
"Wait... Titan?" Xu Mo stammered, the name striking a chord. As he turned fully, his eyes widened in horror. Before him stood the unmistakable form of Thanos, the Mad Titan himself.
In that moment, Xu Mo realized the gravity of his situation. He had stumbled onto the ruins of Titan and into the presence of one of the most dangerous beings in the universe. "MMP!! It's really him! The real deal!" Xu Mo's mind raced, trying to process the magnitude of his luck—or lack thereof.
