Wei Tianyang was about to leave the desert when he noticed the sand beneath his feet gradually turn from white to black.
His legs seed as if they were imrsed in ink; the sandy sea rose above his ankles. Thinking that Lilith was making another coback, he braced himself for battle, but the black sand soared up like a curtain with a whoosh.
On closer inspection, he realized it wasn’t the sand turning black, but a large mass of black mist seeping out from between the grains of sand.
This black air surged into the sky like a mirage, forming into a series of black castles, and then, as if on cue, it simred down and fell back to the ground, after which, it was all absorbed into Wei Tianyang’s body.
He felt a power coursing chaotically within him, restless and seeming to want to escape through the crevices of his muscles, which he tried to suppress as a white light flickered at the chiseled contours of his chest and abdon.
Soon, the power cald, and at last, it beca a part of him.
"Mother..." he muttered to himself.
Baphot had confird that Wei Tianyang’s power, specifically the ability to absorb superpowers, didn’t solely co from Zero-Nine-One, but it wasn’t unrelated either.
Baphot was unclear about the specifics; the innate ability of Zero-Nine-One was solely annihilation, and the absorption ability belonged to Lilith. As an adherent, Zero-Nine-One gained a ’mimicking’ ability.
It could mimic the abilities of enemies it ca into contact with, then execute a weaker version.
However, in Wei Tianyang’s case, he had not only acquired Lilith’s master’s full absorption ability but was also able to enhance the power of those abilities after absorption.
That didn’t make sense.
The only possibility was that Wei Tianyang was a human anomaly.
The superpower special forces could only withstand the diluted Black dicine, and the undiluted original Black dicine would kill anyone injected with it, such as the dicine People.
Wei Tianyang, perhaps uniquely, was the only person on the planet who could withstand the original Black dicine, and it was indeed formidable.
Thus, he beca unparalleled.
He had also learned Lilith’s scalding carapace and gravity manipulation, as well as the ability to extend sharp spiked whips from his back.
Even more so, he learned to fly once again.
The Heavenly Falling Objects, floating fortresses of the Lingxian Sect above the ground, looked more like they were gliding. Therefore, Wei Tianyang could feel in his struggle against Lilith that his flying speed was nowhere near hers.
But now, his flying speed must have improved significantly.
Previously, his top flying speed barely exceeded 2.0 Mach, slower than the current twelfth-generation heavy-duty fighters of various countries.
Now, he could easily break 29 Mach, surpassing all missiles and aircraft.
Only space-bound rockets could potentially be faster than him.
Wei Tianyang left the desert and flew back to his apartnt in Heisai State.
When he pushed open the door and entered, he saw Yaha squatting on the floor, with Baphot lying on its side on the bed.
Just as he was about to get angry, he saw a small roll of blood-stained bandages next to Yaha, who was gently stroking Baphot’s bottom and wiping it with a tissue.
Approaching, Wei Tianyang saw a fork sticking out of Baphot’s rear.
"You’re back, Longhorn?" Baphot said.
"What happened?" Wei Tianyang asked.
Yaha looked up, babbling and gesturing, and Baphot briefly explained what had transpired after he left.
After he and Lilith flew away, the remaining three adherents started pursuing Yaha and Baphot.
It was carrying Yaha and had taken off running, kicking up sparks and lightning along the way, and it had taken the strength of nine oxen and two tigers to slightly shake them off.
Baphot had now lost all his abilities—aside from being able to bring soone into objective reality and transmit ssages, he was basically no different from an ordinary billy goat. As for Yaha, he was an even bigger idiot—combined, they still weren’t a match for three Black Uncles.
And the ban on Baphot’s objective reality traversal by Lilith lasted until her death. But before that happened, Rada Gan had appeared on the street, providing tily assistance.
Gang mbers accidentally shot and killed those three clan mbers who had no superpowers—Lilith was stingy, having never anticipated Wei Tianyang being so formidable, so she was not fully prepared.
"Rada Gan saved you? What about your ass, then?" Wei Tianyang asked again.
"That’s... another story..." Baphot said aningfully.
At that mont, Rada Gan walked into the room, holding two plates of cake.
"Rada Gan," Wei Tianyang said.
Rada Gan set down the cakes, smiled, and said, "I told that goat it should have confidence in you."
Baphot raised its head and bleated twice.
"Can you hear its voice?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"It has many thoughts. And quite an appetite. It told you probably won’t be able to co back anyti soon, and that you would have take good care of it, providing it with ample cakes, preserves, plums, and fruit tea daily... I suppose it’s quite important to you, being able to speak human language while being by your side," Rada Gan said with a smile.
Baphot bleated even louder.
"Otherwise, who would carry a goat around? Just a while ago, it accidentally fell over while drinking fruit tea. The cake was knocked over, and the fork fell to the ground. Unluckily... it ended up sitting on it too," Rada Gan explained.
Wei Tianyang reached out and grabbed Baphot’s ear, pulling it off the bed.
"You stupid fuck, I thought you got hurt protecting Yaha and almost felt compassion for you," Wei Tianyang said angrily.
"Uh..." Rada Gan crossed his arms and watched quietly.
"I’m just thinking of getting the treatnt that suits my status!" Baphot scread in pain.
"I’ve never seen a goat that loves drinking fruit tea this much, nor one that eats cakes and preserves every day!" Wei Tianyang shouted in anger.
"I... I’m not a goat... I’m Baphot! Baphot!!" Baphot protested.
"From a different perspective, it’s clear—you’re just a goat," Rada Gan said.
"Traitor!! You’re a traitor!!" Baphot cried out.
"Get out and eat so grass!" Wei Tianyang carried Baphot to the door, ready to kick it out.
Just then, Yaha rushed over, hugging Baphot and shouting, "Big Blackie! I want Big Blackie!"
"Your friend here seems very close to it," Rada Gan said.
Wei Tianyang let go, and Baphot zipped back onto the bed, heaving sighs of grief.
Yaha pounced on it, affectionately stroking its fur.
"Forget it, I don’t even want to sleep in this bed anymore..." Wei Tianyang shook his head.
"Don’t sigh like that. I’ve already secured the building and business permits for the hotel," Rada Gan said.
Wei Tianyang looked at him, smiled, and asked, "So sudden? What did you do?"
A golden glint flashed in Rada Gan’s eyes, and he said, "I funded an anti-governnt militia, and then, I donated a hefty sum to the governnt forces."
