Facing Pei Guang's answer, Acheron was initially confused.
She wondered if drawing her blade too frequently recently had affected her mind and comprehension.
But soon, after slightly drawing her blade, she confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her mind.
To avoid any misunderstanding caused by mishearing, Acheron asked in an uncertain tone: "Can you... say what you want to do again? I was distracted just now."
"I said, I want to use Nihility as a fleshlight~ Don't you know what a fleshlight is? It's..."
Having traveled the universe for so long, what hadn't she seen? She just wasn't sure if this was what Pei Guang meant.
Now that it was confirmed, she was completely bewildered.
A Nihility fleshlight... this person really dares to imagine, doesn't he?
Setting aside Pei Guang's abilities that didn't belong to this world, just his mindset wasn't something a normal person in this world could possess.
However, she didn't know how to reply to Pei Guang, because she could feel from his words that he genuinely thought that way.
"You..."
Acheron looked at the person in front of her, not knowing how to speak. Logically, she should say something, but she couldn't say a word.
After organizing her chaotic thoughts for a long time, Acheron slowly spoke: "I know your answer. If you think you can withstand this power, I can return to reality at any time. Just let him kill me when facing the enemy, is that it?"
Acheron had also experienced death in the Dreamscape: she could confirm that death in a normal state meant returning to reality.
Let alone a normal state, in fact, even Something Unto Death couldn't do anything to her.
She was someone walking on the Path of Nihility, and Something Unto Death was essentially just another name for life moving towards Nihility.
For her, who was already in Nihility, the effect of Something Unto Death might not be as good as her going all out herself.
And Pei Guang... since he wanted to use the power of Nihility to make a fleshlight? Then she wanted to see if Pei Guang would really turn Nihility into a fleshlight if he obtained that power.
Leaving aside how Pei Guang would obtain her power, if he could really get the power of Nihility from her and make it into a fleshlight, everyone in the universe walking on the Path of Nihility and resisting being swallowed by it would seek out Pei Guang to make a Nihility fleshlight.
The reason was simple: Nihility essentially shouldn't have a material manifestation, but he could f*cking make it into a fleshlight? Turning Nihility into matter?
Any person who accidentally fell into this Path would probably be able to live a few more days just by seeing a Nihility fleshlight.
Maybe using it would let them live a few more days too.
If for nothing else, just to see if Pei Guang could turn Nihility into a fleshlight, Acheron agreed to Pei Guang's plan.
If Pei Guang couldn't do it himself, she could thoughtfully send Nihility to him, guaranteeing the purity would be sufficient.
Hearing Acheron agree, Pei Guang nodded: "That's right. In a combat state, if people around me are killed by the enemy, I can obtain all the power of the dead unit. It's useless in reality, but in the Dreamscape, it's a god-tier skill!"
This skill didn't distinguish between reality and dreams.
How to put it? If he didn't want to save people in reality, this skill would still be god-tier.
But there were too many people he liked, and too many places to farm favorability. Plus, he wanted to try for a pacifist route in the first playthrough, so this skill wasn't very useful.
Only in this Dreamscape of Penacony could the effect of this skill be maximized.
Acheron: "It doesn't matter. If it fails then, and if you still want it, I will let you personally experience Nothingness."
Pei Guang: "Good, good~"
While Pei Guang was complaining here, Stelle leaned over curiously from the other side: "I remember Nihility has no form, right? If you say I want to poke Nihility's butt in the future, where should I poke?"
"Simple. Just poke whatever is at the bottom when you first see it." Pei Guang gave his understanding of a butt.
Stelle: "So that's how it is, is that how to distinguish it? I understand. In the future, when facing units whose butts I can't distinguish, I'll use this method to mess with them~"
Hearing Pei Guang's suggestion, Stelle felt enlightened.
Infinite ideas instantly appeared in her mind, and even her gaze towards Pei Guang became unkind.
Pei Guang: "You stay enlightened for now. This place is going to be a boss fight scene next. I'll get the people from the Family to clear out."
March 7th: "Does your word carry weight?"
Pei Guang: "My word might not carry weight, but Harmony's word does~"
Pei Guang didn't plan to speak directly, but asked Xipe Cake to help transmit the message to the Family.
Pei Guang had seen through it: his favorability wasn't important. The most important thing was Xipe Cake's command.
According to the settings, Xipe Cake should be considered at the level of an Emanator, so its words definitely carried weight.
Although Xipe Cake had such strong power, Pei Guang felt that the power it could exert in the upcoming plot might not be great. After all, in the plot, except for necessary units in scripted kills, other powerful existences would definitely go offline for various reasons.
If nothing else, he felt that Acheron, this "Emanator of Nihility", might step down after this mid-boss fight. She definitely wouldn't let him face the final boss easily.
But it wasn't a big problem. Pei Guang was used to it.
Let alone powerful combat power being sealed, even having powerful characters become cameramen during boss fights, or being unable to exert their strength due to being scared by the enemy, was a daily occurrence.
While Pei Guang was preparing for the upcoming battle, the others felt their heads buzzing listening to the exchange between these two. Although everyone chatted about Aeons, only Pei Guang and Stelle would think about how to mess with Aeons like this.
While the group chatted and waited, inside Clock Studios Theme Park, under Xipe Cake's command, members of the Family frantically drove the tourists out of the park, and all Family members also voluntarily evacuated.
As for the Dreammaster? He wanted to speak, but couldn't: Xipe Cake still had him blocked. In terms of the power of Harmony, the Dreammaster was inferior to Xipe Cake.
Moreover, besides Harmony, Xipe Cake also possessed the power of Elation wearing other Path masks.
Of course, Xipe Cake's future didn't stop here. Aha was looking forward to the day Xipe Cake could become a true Aeon.
It had even thought up lyrics to sing Xipe Cake's praises.
"I am a cake, a happy Aeon Cake~"
Just thinking about the members of the Family singing these lines in the future filled Aha with motivation.
But there was no rush: that could be played with later. Right now, watching Pei Guang's actions was more interesting.
It was looking forward to the Nihility fleshlight.
If Pei Guang could really pull it off, It would promote it heavily to Its old friends. If Its good friends didn't mind, It would even actively help them use it.
It couldn't be helped: who asked It to be such a warm-hearted person?
