It began struggling.
However, once Tuanzi came into contact with a substance, it was impossible to shake Tuanzi off. Tuanzi's body had probably reached the nanoscale, or even the molecular scale.
Otherwise, it would not have been able to corrode inorganic matter.
Although it was difficult for it to obtain any nutrients from inorganic matter, this alone told me that Tuanzi truly had the potential to devour the entire world. If I let it develop freely,
then one day, its body would gradually grow larger—so large that I would have to consume more and more nutrients to supply it.
By then, even devouring every living creature in the world might not be impossible.
But... fortunately, I wasn't stupid. I could control Tuanzi, which meant I could control the space in which it grew.
As long as I didn't let Tuanzi escape my control, this world would be safe.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a trace of lingering fear over my previous act of throwing Tuanzi away.
Without me, with its devouring speed accelerated, Tuanzi might very well turn the entire world into a world without any living creatures while I was asleep.
When that happened, Tuanzi would also certainly die. I would die too, and so would my newborn self.
Fortunately... fortunately, Tuanzi still knew restraint.
Tuanzi absorbed things extremely quickly. Basically, after covering him, the man's lower body had already lost the ability to resist within a few seconds, and was rapidly

Just imagine it: once this kind of creature developed to a certain scale, devouring every living creature on Earth would be merely a matter of time.
Tuanzi now had metal-level hardness and wasn't afraid of flames at all. It could survive in water and wasn't afraid of high temperatures. Low
