To be honest, even Bai Zhi himself had not expected that Small Wooden Block to be so ferocious.
That thing ate everything, and it could eat anything.
Whether tangible or intangible, whether illusory rules or human-defined concepts, all of it was on its menu.
Perhaps because it had been confined for too long, after seeing daylight again, Little Wooden Cube had become quite restless, constantly trying to find ways to escape his side.
Back at the tower, his original intention had been to capture Four Knights of Weather and bring him to the Temporary Underworld for a slow working-over. At the very least, he could have been used as an underworld laborer.
But Little Wooden Cube had taken advantage of his inattention and suddenly gone feral, swallowing him in a single bite. After that, it had devoured the entire tower as well. If Bai Zhi had not reacted quickly enough to grab a few Atmospheric Ducks in time, this thing would probably have eaten them into extinction on the spot.
Bai Zhi had originally wanted to stop it, but it pitifully conveyed an overwhelming sense of hunger to him. After thinking it over for a moment, he ultimately permitted it to treat the entire city as food.
It was better to guide than block. That thing was far too vicious. If not for the Jade Disc Fragment keeping watch over it, the wooden cube would have unhesitatingly eaten everyone in the city.
...Just like Four Knights of Weather, whom it had eaten first.
Of course, eating was not the main point. The main point was the consequences of being eaten.
Anything consumed by Little Wooden Cube truly disappeared in every sense of the word. Even special existences like Shadow guards, which could revive infinitely, would suffer true death once eaten
