"You really are a cunning creature, but I like it!"
Looking at the Capybara before him, who was both adorable and powerful.
A devilish smile hung on Babata's face.
His eyes darted around, as if he were calculating something.
According to the original story, the successor Babata sought was for the Falling Ink Star.
However, this successor had a rigid requirement.
That was the necessity of possessing powerful spiritual telekinesis.
Although the Capybara before him had been selected.
There were still some flaws to be found.
At this moment, he was not in human form, nor did he have the inheritance of spiritual telekinesis.
It seemed he did not meet that rigid standard.
But Babata bringing him here surely meant he had some ulterior motive.
"You lured me here; surely you don't just want to chat with me?"
Even though he felt the other party was not entirely sincere, the Capybara remained unhurried.
Because he now knew the other party's location.
The spaceship before him was no longer capable of taking off.
Therefore, there was no need to worry about Babata escaping.
It was just that, for the moment, he did not want to resort to violence.
After all, what Babata could offer was far more than just a few Wood Bud Crystals.
The greatest utility of this little devil was bringing Earth's civilization into the universe!
Whoever could control Babata would have the potential to advance into an infinite powerhouse!
"Don't be so impatient. Look, I'm here to treat you to something delicious!"
Sensing the impatience of the cute creature before him.
Babata immediately pulled out a large pile of Wood Bud Crystals as if performing a magic trick.
Judging by the quantity, there were at least over 100 of them.
In an instant, he had captured the Capybara's attention.
But there was no follow-up.
There was no request for him to take Hu Yanbo as his master.
And certainly no display of the three massive wealth accounts of the Falling Ink Star.
What is this?
Are you trying to raise me like a guard dog to watch the house?
Do not be fooled by the Capybara's adorable appearance.
As a transmigrator, he was crystal clear on the situation.
"How about it? Do you like it or not? If you are willing to stay and help me guard the ship, there are even better things to come!"
Clearly.
Babata had miscalculated the intelligence of the monster before him.
He still thought this was an existence that could be handled with food.
Just like that Tentacle Monster outside.
As long as he provided a fixed amount of food and constant temptation, he could control the other party.
"Is there anything else? I'm getting a bit tired of eating this stuff!"
Sure enough, the Capybara was not so easily fooled.
Compared to those three universe bank accounts of Hu Yanbo, this little pile of items was nothing more than a snack.
"Eh?"
Watching the Capybara's gaze, which appeared innocent but actually carried a hint of scrutiny and playfulness, Babata's heart skipped a beat.
This little guy doesn't seem so easy to fool!
"What? You don't like these things?"
Babata squeezed out an even "kinder" smile, attempting to mask the calculations in his heart.
"Then you keep eating, I'll go prepare a grand feast for you!"
He snapped his fingers, and a robot immediately slid over, pushing the hundred-plus Wood Bud Crystals in front of the Capybara.
Then, Babata made a move to turn around, as if he were truly going to prepare something better.
"Wait."
A clear mental thought halted Babata's steps.
Babata's body stiffened, and it slowly turned around, a smile still plastered on its face.
"What is it, little guy? Is there something else?"
Pybara did not immediately touch the Wood Bud Crystals, instead sauntering slowly over to the pile of crystals.
He pawed at them a few times, then lifted his dark, bright eyes to look at Babata:
"Babata, let's not beat around the bush.
You lured me here, surely not just to find a... watchdog, right?"
The thought conveyed by his mental power was calm, yet carried an unquestionable sense of penetration.
"Since you know my abilities and have seen my potential, don't you think using just these few Wood Bud Crystals to tether me here is... a bit stingy?"
The smile on Babata's face became difficult to maintain; its large red eyes flickered a few times, and it let out two dry laughs.
"Haha, how could it be a watchdog? It's a guardian!
A glorious spaceship guardian! And this is just a small welcoming gift..."
"Oh? A guardian?"
Pybara tilted his head, his mental tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"Guarding this spaceship that has been crashed for fifty thousand years, with even its master having fallen?
And then what? Guard these Wood Bud Crystals until the end of the universe?"
He took two steps forward, and despite his round physique, the pressure belonging to an Emperor-level monster, along with the faint, flickering fluctuations of a Black Hole behind him, exerted significant pressure on Babata.
"Babata, you have waited for fifty thousand years.
You are waiting for a true successor, someone who can inherit the mantle of Hu Yanbo and perhaps even avenge him in the future.
Not a... pet kept in a cage at the door, right?"
Pybara's words were like needles, precisely piercing through Babata's little schemes.
It had indeed taken a liking to Pybara's potential and uniqueness.
But it had hesitated because of Pybara's non-human identity, unwilling to easily hand over the core inheritance.
It only wanted to dangle benefits to keep him as a defensive force for the ship.
Having been called out directly, Babata's small face turned red and then white.
It was a mix of embarrassment and anger at being seen through: "You!
How do you know the Master's name? And revenge... what exactly are you?!"
"What I am is not important,"
Pybara said in a calm tone.
"I just want one word from you: will you give me the inheritance or not?"
Good grief!
Is he really being this blunt?
Babata was at a loss.
"You, you are being too much, and you don't meet the criteria for the inheritance!"
This Babata was truly loyal.
And clearly angry.
At this moment, deep down, it felt a vague sense of having invited a wolf into the house.
It was easy to invite a god, but hard to send one away.
However, Babata had its own strategy.
With a flash in mid-air, it vanished.
As an intelligent life form, Babata could perform short-range teleportation within the space around the spaceship.
However, Pybara did not pursue.
Instead, he sauntered over to the pile of Wood Bud Crystals.
He opened the Black Hole behind him and swallowed them first as a courtesy!
"Hmph, trying to hide? Under my nose, where do you think you can go?"
At this moment, Pybara was full of confidence.
Although these Wood Bud Crystals became less useful the further one progressed, they were still valuable.
Better to have it than not.
Once everything had been fully absorbed.
It was enough to push his strength to the peak of the Emperor-level monster rank, a level of power that did not even lose to that Thunder Dragon Emperor in the sea.
After finishing his meal, the diameter of the Black Hole behind Pybara had also exceeded 50 meters.
It was time to end this game of hide-and-seek with Babata!
"Hoo!"
Because the underground space was inherently cramped.
Coupled with the powerful pulling force generated by this 50-meter-diameter Black Hole.
The massive spaceship parked deep underground actually began to sway uncontrollably.
Under the tug of the Black Hole's power, its aged metal hull even began to deform.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?"
Feeling this terrifying threat.
Babata's voice rang out from inside the spaceship.
Her tone was filled with panic.
That little girl should be able to see it now.
If she didn't agree, the Black Hole behind Pybara could swallow their entire ship whole!
