The corpse of the Black Sheep Giant was temporarily placed within objective reality, and Wei Tianyang, in human form, approached the body to try and absorb its powers.
Since Incident 091, it was only the second ti Wei Tianyang had observed such a large humanoid creature up close. The Black Sheep Giant was about as tall as 091, and even taller if horns were included. Earlier, he had either used Bug Eye vision or been engulfed in darkness and hadn’t properly observed this being. Now, looking up close, he felt like he was facing a hairy dam, remarkably oppressive.
Just now, the Black Sheep Giant hadn’t used any powers, rely employing brute force to batter 091. Perhaps because 091 was physically impaired and had lost its sense of self, the Black Sheep Giant deed it unnecessary to use powers to end the fight, or maybe its superpower was to develop a kinship?
Guessing was pointless; he would suck the power and see.
But as he raised his hand, Wei Tianyang received a telepathic ssage in his mind,
"Wait."
Wei Tianyang raised an eyebrow. Wasn’t this thing dead?
Watch finish it off with one more blow...
"Wait... just wait, wait a minute!"
It was indeed the Black Sheep Giant, not only alive, but its telepathic voice even carried human emotions.
Wei Tianyang felt sothing odd behind him. Turning, he discovered a black male mountain goat standing not far away.
"You are..." Wei Tianyang spoke out.
The goat bleated twice, then a voice ca telepathically: "My na cannot be uttered in the language of beings at this level. You can just call Baphot."
"Your articulation has improved quite a bit," said Wei Tianyang.
"You killed my physical form. In that instant, I projected my main existence into the second layer of reality and learned your language," transmitted Baphot.
"You read my mind?!" Wei Tianyang exclaid in shock.
"No... that’s not what I ant," Baphot stepped back, then continued, "Through your thoughts, I learned your language structure and emotional expression."
"It’s no different from mind-reading. Can you also read my mories?" asked Wei Tianyang.
"You are not Him; you are a being from this Chapter, so... this sort of thing concerns you," ca Baphot’s telepathic reply.
"What do you an? What Chapter? Where exactly did you fall from?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"This battle was none of your concern initially, but due to its magnitude, a rift occurred between Chapters, and we fell from the previous one. You are far from the ’Grand Climax,’ residing in the ’Great Narrative’s’ first Chapter. Beyond this lies the Void," Baphot bleated.
"You are not aliens?" Wei Tianyang questioned.
"I don’t know what aliens are... but your species definitely isn’t familiar with the ’Great Narrative’," Baphot conveyed telepathically.
"I don’t understand what you’re saying. Aren’t you from outer space?" Wei Tianyang shook his head.
"What is the universe?" Baphot also seed confused.
"It is..." Wei Tianyang pointed to the sky, continuing, "From here, it looks black, and if you keep flying up, you’ll break through Earth’s atmosphere and enter outer space, which is a vacuum," he explained.
"Why not take up there to see?" suggested Baphot telepathically.
Wei Tianyang shook his head, "I can’t fly."
"You’ve beco Him, you should be able to fly," Baphot shook its goat horns.
"He can fly?!" Wei Tianyang was surprised.
Baphot’s eerily black eyes stared at Wei Tianyang as if examining the specific aning of his statent.
Wei Tianyang tried, but no matter what, he couldn’t find the sensation of flying.
Using superpowers was very mystical, no learning required. Once injected with Black dicine, it was as if an instinct arose—you’d know how to use the power imdiately if you had it, and if not, you wouldn’t feel it.
"I don’t feel it; I can’t fly," Wei Tianyang stated.
"You are not Him, although you’ve occupied His body. Oddly enough, your thod of killing isn’t His usual style," Baphot chomped his mouth.
"Does He absorb other ... counterparts’ abilities?" Wei Tianyang speculated.
Baphot tilted its head, pondering the aning of the question. After a mont, it responded, "Do you an usurping positions?"
"Whatever it’s called, that’s what I an," Wei Tianyang declared.
"If They had that capability, they wouldn’t have been shattered by us," Baphot’s mouth made a scoffing sound as if mocking.
Wei Tianyang was shocked. The ability to absorb superpowers wasn’t innate to 091?!
"You are residents of the ’Great Narrative’s’ Act One, Chapter One, far from the ’Grand Climax.’ It’s normal for you to be unaware of these matters," Baphot shook its head.
"What you’re referring to as the ’Great Narrative,’ is that a country?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"I don’t know what a ’country’ is. All existence is written within the ’Chapters’ of the ’Great Narrative.’ The closer a Chapter is to the ’Grand Climax,’ the deeper its levels, the higher its energy, and the higher the positions of its residents. The ’Chapter’ your species resides in can’t even see the ’Great Foreshadowing;’ it lacks any position," Baphot continued shaking its head.
Wei Tianyang sowhat understood; these Heavenly Falling Objects, were essentially, not much different from aliens in nature, but their description of the world was like a novel.
"The ones who fell were mostly corpses; what happened in the later part of this ’Great Narrative’?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"The ending hasn’t been decided yet, everything remains unclear. All residents are fighting for a significant position, or rather... vying for their existence in future ’Chapters.’ Therefore... they engage in conflicts," Baphot explained.
"How pointless..." Wei Tianyang remarked.
"I sense other existences; you’ve occupied more than just Him, haven’t you?" Baphot grew curious.
Wei Tianyang sneered, and at that mont, a long spider leg suddenly thrust in from behind Baphot, landing right in front of him.
Simultaneously, a massive moth landed nearby, followed closely by a four-winged slug flying behind Wei Tianyang, settling beside the colossal corpse of Baphot, flagging its two tentacles. Half a warhorse also appeared on the other side, lying on the ground, its head turned to one side, staring with crimson eyes at the small goat.
"I don’t know what you an by position. You say He doesn’t have the power to usurp positions, but why can I possess so many..." Wei Tianyang inquired.
Baphot surveyed the surroundings, the small goat appearing helpless and pitiable amidst the massive encirclent of Heavenly Falling Objects.
"Enough talk, you’ll beco one of them too," Wei Tianyang raised his right hand towards the Black Mountain Goat.
Baphot was startled, dropping to its front hooves and pushing both horns to the ground, hurriedly transmitting a telepathic ssage:
"Wait! Wait... I don’t have a position now, killing again is pointless!"
