Baphot’s goat body trembled as a telepathic voice, "You’ve taken away my position, it’s of little use, so you might as well keep , I can help you."
Once again, Wei Tianyang asked, "What exactly can you do?"
"In terms you can understand, I am a bookmark, I am a footnote, I am that mark you make under a sentence when you read a story," Baphot lifted its goat-face, seemingly smiling.
Wei Tianyang stomped on its head and said disdainfully, "Speak in a way I can understand."
"I can between Chapters..." Baphot started to explain but seeing Wei Tianyang’s look, it changed its phrasing, "No matter where you are, I can instantly pull you to where I am."
"Oh?" Wei Tianyang pinched his chin and moved his foot off Baphot’s head.
This ant he could use Baphot as an anchor point for instantaneous, wide-range movent.
Although he already had the ability to teleport over wide ranges, the problem was... it was damn far... Just thinking about moving in the objective reality made him feel like a motherless child, lonely and bitter. He got so exhausted from the journey, and yet others thought he crossed hundreds of kiloters effortlessly...
"Can you appear... outside in your current state?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"Of course, but you’ll need to provide protection," Baphot made a request.
Baphot was now a Black Mountain Goat, easily slaughtered for hotpot if left outside.
But... Such a strong survival capability, wasn’t it superpower? Maybe, it was secretly recovering, waiting for the day to unexpectedly strike back for revenge?
No, no... This character must not remain...
Wei Tianyang frowned and shook his head, lifting his left foot to deliver a fatal blow.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute..." Baphot pleaded again.
"I know your concerns, but trust , unless you actively feed another creature with a position, otherwise... I cannot return to my previous form..." Baphot explained.
Wei Tianyang squinted at Baphot and asked, "You won’t steal food yourself?"
"In my current form, I can’t do that..." Baphot bleated.
"You are still sowhat useful, but I can’t fully trust you, especially... half an hour ago, you were still disemboweling ," Wei Tianyang said.
"It’s about complete annihilation, our fights were that brutal, but now that the victor is decided, I’ve lost my original power, only this last position remains, I am very useful to you!!" Baphot once again pressed its horns to the ground, kowtowing to Wei Tianyang.
Damn, is kowtowing the universally accepted gesture of submission across the universe?
"If I take you with , I’d have to feed you, too troubleso, I don’t like keeping pets," Wei Tianyang said.
"I will run out to find grass to eat myself," Baphot crawled over, rubbing Wei Tianyang’s leg with its horns.
"You’ll still need to shit, right?" Wei Tianyang asked again.
"This beastly body can only maintain its existence through this primitive way of absorption and excretion, I can’t help it, but I promise you won’t see do it," Baphot’s telepathic voice ca.
Wei Tianyang thought again, having an extra transporter actually wasn’t bad, especially since it was essentially a living Heavenly Falling Object, and he could gain so unique knowledge from it that others couldn’t provide.
"I can’t let you roam free. My house is very big, and I’ll only let you out when I need to go sowhere. The rest of the ti, you can only stay in the yard," Wei Tianyang said.
After knowing Wei Tianyang’s intention, Baphot called out, "That’s great, actually, I don’t like running around either. Just prepare so soft hay for my bedding."
"By the way... can you transmit this mind-reading ability to ordinary people?" Wei Tianyang asked.
If it’s tied at ho, its daily manipulation of people’s hearts would also be a disaster.
"What do you an by ordinary people?" Baphot didn’t understand the term.
"I an, anyone other than ," Wei Tianyang said.
"You an those residents with incomplete spirits? All can hear voices, after all, it’s a sense as well," Baphot called out.
The Superpower Special Departnt that had previously been dispatched might have also heard what Baphot said.
"Damn, so you an, anyone who has taken Black dicine can be harassed by you...?" Wei Tianyang’s gaze hardened.
Baphot sensed the danger and quickly kowtowed again, "Actually, you don’t have to worry! Once a thought is sent out, you will definitely hear it. Besides, I have no reason or interest to communicate with others."
"Alright, but if I find that you’ve done sothing beyond the rules, I’ll eat you," Wei Tianyang said.
Baphot cried out and kowtowed several tis to Wei Tianyang to accept the conditions.
At that mont, Baphot’s originally headless corpse slowly turned black and malodorous, gradually dissolving back into black flesh. Then, it slowly beca transparent, sinking into the chitinous ground, shrinking under Baphot’s feet, becoming its shadow.
"This is the true essence; my previous real existence, but now, only a lump of dead flesh remains. Your true essence is not It... It has no horn," Baphot transmitted telepathically.
Wei Tianyang looked at the shadow beneath his feet. It resembled a giant with wings, a horn protruding from its head, and a long claw extended from its right hand.
During the ti in the black house, he had also seen this shadow and had thought it was a hallucination, but it turned out to be real.
However, the image seen at that ti was incomplete; now, it had beco a complete humanoid form.
Wei Tianyang and Baphot exited objective reality, standing on the barren black soil, which made a comical sight.
With Wei Tianyang’s current speed, Baphot couldn’t keep up, so he could only hold onto one of Baphot’s horns, slowly walking in one direction.
As they walked, Wei Tianyang inquired about other matters.
For instance, objective reality, according to Baphot, was entering the true "Chapter" before the "great narrative," a place where nothing exists.
The so-called clans are beings with spirits who distribute their powers to lower beings without spirits, occupying their minds and thoughts afterward, forming a "blood kinship."
According to Baphot, independently thinking "supporting characters" should never be trusted, as they too yearn to have their own "Chapter." Thus, turning other beings into a clan is the best way to "expand one’s Chapter."
And as for "Chapters" and the "great narrative," it’s suffice to understand that the world will ultimately co to an end, and the number of characters that the end can accommodate is limited; so all "characters" are fighting each other, converting one another, and expanding their own character factions to secure a place in the end.
After all, characters who fail to secure a position in the end will face true annihilation.
That’s a fate worse than death, where all traces of existence are erased.
Characters in the story can die, but they will remain within the narrative, while total annihilation is equivalent to tearing a whole page of their existing "Chapter"...
