The Ultimate Borer

As a light curtain flashed by, Fang Mu and his four companions appeared in a square.

"Is this the Iron Dimension? It looks no different from the Gold Dimension!"

Wang Dadong was curiously looking around while talking. Just when they were full of novelty about the new environment, Fang Mu's time and space phone suddenly rang.

"Fang Mu... where are you now? We have already joined forces with the Silver Time and Space forces. Come quickly!"

Xia Yu's anxious voice came from the other end of the line. Fang Mu replied briefly and then rushed to Xia's house with Wang Dadong and the others.

As soon as he entered the Xia family, Fang Mu saw Grandpa sitting in front of the TV in a daze. Grandpa, who usually loved watching cartoons, looked worried at this moment. Even the lively scenes on TV could not attract his attention.

"Grandpa!"

Fang Mu shouted.

Grandpa raised his head and saw Wang Dadong, Wang Yaser and Ding Xiaoyu behind Fang Mu, and his face was immediately filled with confusion.

"Xia Tian, ​​Lanling Wang, Alliance Leader, why are you three still here? Xia Tian, ​​where's your handsome coat? Why are you dressed like a high school student? And Lanling Wang, how did your armor turn into a suit?"

Grandpa's gaze finally fell on Ding Xiaoyu, and he spoke with even greater surprise.

"Wow, Alliance Leader, how did you become so weak? Could it be that you ate the food that Brother Xiong cooked before the battle, and all your superpowers were lost?"

"Dad, stop talking nonsense!"

Xiong Ge came down from upstairs just in time. Her eyes were still a little red and swollen, obviously she had just cried. Seeing Fang Mu, she quickly wiped away her tears and put on her usual gentle smile.

"Fang Mu, you're here! Xia Tian and the others left early due to the urgent battle situation and didn't wait for you! Don't blame them!"

As he spoke, Brother Xiong quickly brought some washed fruits for them, and Wang Dadong and the others politely thanked him repeatedly.

"Dad, they're not Xia Tian. They're Xia Tian, ​​Lanling King and the Alliance Leader's clones in the Golden Time and Space. Didn't Xia Tian and the others say they would help them recover their powers ten years ago? You don't remember? They must be here this time for the war!"

Brother Xiong patiently explained to Grandpa, and her eyes swept over Wang Dadong and others one by one, especially staying on Wang Dadong for a while.

"Oh, looking at Dadong reminds me of my summer. I wonder if he's eating enough in the wormhole now, and if he has enough clothes..."

As he was talking, Brother Xiong was reminded of the past and his eyes became moist again.

"Alright, alright, Brother Xiong, don't cry. As the parents of Xia Tian, ​​the ultimate iron man, we should be stronger and let Xia Tian and his family have no worries!"

The leader of the dead group also came down from upstairs at this time, hugged Xiong Ge and whispered comforting words. Afterwards, he smiled at Wang Dadong and the other two with a little embarrassment.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh!"

Wang Dadong and the other two looked at each other and nodded. They immediately recognized that the leader of the dead in front of them was the incarnation of the Heartbroken Man in the Iron Time and Space. His nanny-like tone and movements were so easy to recognize.

"Brother Xiong, Captain of the Dead, Grandpa, the situation is urgent, we have to enter the wormhole quickly!"

Fang Mu put down the fruit core and said seriously. Then he glanced at Wang Dadong and the other two, who immediately stood up and said they were ready to leave at any time.

Brother Xiong suddenly ran over with a panicked look on his face, waving his hands in the air as if to block their way.

"Hey, Fang Mu, don't be in such a hurry to leave! You must be exhausted after all this travel."

As she spoke, she wiped her forehead with her hand and tried to force a natural smile.

"Take a break first, eat something, and replenish your energy. Brother Xiong, I just made some snacks, they are delicious, you must try them!"

Having said that, he pulled Fang Mu into the house without saying anything.

Grandpa also walked over slowly with an unnatural smile on his face.

"That's right, this wormhole isn't going away, so it won't take too long. You young people, it's a rare opportunity for you to come to the Iron Dimension, so you should experience the local customs and culture here. The nights in this Iron Dimension are so beautiful, so much more beautiful than those in the Gold Dimension!"

As Grandpa spoke, he gestured with his hands, but his eyes drifted towards the wormhole from time to time, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.

The leader of the dead stood aside, folded his hands over his chest, nodded slightly, and agreed.

"Yes, the war is imminent, and maintaining good condition is the most important thing. Relaxing first will help you better prepare for the upcoming battle."

Although his tone was calm, his eyes revealed a subtle worry.

Wang Dadong scratched his head and looked at them with confusion.

"But aren't we pressed for time? A war could break out at any moment!"

When Brother Xiong heard this, his eyes widened and he quickly explained.

"How can we go so quickly? Even if we want to go, we have to be fully prepared, right? You're so anxious now, what if we run out of energy on the battlefield?"

Her voice trembled slightly and her eyes began to flicker.

Fang Mu stood quietly by, observing their every move. He keenly sensed something was amiss and thought to himself: Brother Xiong and the others are acting so strangely, they must be hiding something from us.

"Brother Xiong, Grandpa, the leader of the dead."

Fang Mu's voice was low and firm.

"You're not actually worried about our condition, but you don't want us to enter the wormhole, am I right?"

Fang Mu's eyes swept over the three people one by one, and wherever his eyes went, the faces of the three people changed suddenly.

Xiong's face turned pale. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. The smile on Grandpa's face instantly disappeared. The leader of the dead sighed helplessly and lowered his head, as if tacitly agreeing with Fang Mu's words.

"why?"

Fang Mu stared at them and continued to ask.

"We are all here to protect the war of the four great time and space. Why are you trying to stop us?"

There was a hint of confusion and anger in his voice.

Xiong Ge bit her lip, her eyes gradually moistening. She raised her head and looked at Fang Mu, her eyes full of guilt.

"Fang Mu, we...we can't do anything about it."

Her voice was choked and tears welled up in her eyes.

Grandpa sighed heavily.

"That's what summer means."

His voice was a little hoarse, as if carrying endless helplessness.

……

After Fang Mu's repeated questioning, Brother Xiong finally opened his mouth slowly and told the truth of the matter.

"Xia Tian said that you have done enough for the three great time and space of gold, silver and iron."

Brother Xiong's voice was filled with tears.

"You've stepped forward time and again, disregarding your own safety, and have sacrificed so much to protect everyone. He said you've already endured too much pressure and responsibility and shouldn't be dragged into this cruel war again."

As Brother Xiong spoke, he wiped away the tears that kept flowing from his eyes with his hands.

"Moreover, given your strength, even if the good side loses in the final battle, you will be able to survive."

The leader of the dead continued.

"Xia Tian doesn't want you to take risks. He wants you to be safe. He said you have your own life and shouldn't make unnecessary sacrifices for this war."

Brother Xiong raised his head, his eyes full of earnestness.

"Fang Mu, you have no idea how worried Xia Tian was about you. Before we left, he repeatedly told us to do everything we could to keep you and not let you take any risks. He said that if anything happened to you, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life."

Recalling Xia Tian's instructions, Xiong Ge felt mixed emotions. Before leaving, Xia Tian held her hand tightly, his eyes full of worry and determination.

He told Brother Xiong that Fang Mu was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. Once he decided to join the war, he would go all out, regardless of his own life or death. He didn't want to see Fang Mu suffer any misfortune because of this war, and hoped that Brother Xiong would keep Fang Mu no matter what.

Grandpa also nodded continuously.

"Yes, Xia Tian, ​​that kid, has always been thinking about you. He knows you are a brave warrior, but he hopes that you can live well."

Xiong and the others also thought Xia Tian was right. In their hearts, Fang Mu was like one of their own family members, and they couldn't bear to see Fang Mu face the unknown danger.

War is cruel, and no one knows what will happen on the other side of the wormhole. They didn't want Fang Mu to take the risk, and would rather bear the worry themselves, hoping that Fang Mu could stay away from the war.

"We know that this might make you confused or even angry with us."

Brother Xiong's voice was full of apology.

"But we really do this for your own good. We don't want to lose you, and we don't want you to face dangers that might hurt you."

Fang Mu listened quietly, a complex emotion welling up in his heart. He was touched by Xia Tian and Xiong Ge's concern, but he also had his own persistence.
