So, although she was wary of me, she wasn't afraid of me.
That was why she was always able to keep smiling.
But things were different now. Tuanzi's existence was her most important trump card—the one thing that meant she absolutely couldn't kill me.
By revealing that trump card today, I was also subtly threatening her.
After all, I figured I wouldn't be able to get rid of this woman from now on. But if humans harassed her too much, she was gradually
learning enough about human society that it was hard
to say whether, on an impulse, she might wipe out all of humanity.
By revealing Tuanzi today, I wanted to tell her that I had the ability to take the entire Earth down with me. Tuanzi probably wouldn't die in
space. It wasn't entirely carbon-based life, after

other planets, then fall asleep,
drifting wherever it pleased.
As for how long Tuanzi could live, I really had no idea. What if it could live forever? Maybe
after countless billions of years, it would have devoured
the entire Milky Way?
Tsk... Thinking about it, I had to admit Tuanzi really was terrifying. Of course, there was always the chance it might fall into a
black hole and get crushed into black hole

Tuanzi was no exception.
All in all, apart from certain special celestial bodies, Tuanzi could basically devour every other kind of matter in the universe.
That was what made Tuanzi so terrifying. If I died, the entire Earth would go down with me, so... even now,
I still didn't know whether I could die.
