The dark sky …
The dark land …
This was the original color of this world. Although it was dark, it was very warm. Whether it was the temperature or the air, it was very suitable for multicellular life.
However, why was this world so dark in a suitable environment? All that could be seen in the vast wilderness were all kinds of rocks and sand. The surface of this world was like billions of lifeless rollers in the void.
That was because this world had been 'cleansed' by a special creature.
'Purger', 'Sweeper', and 'Cleaners'. This creature had many similar names. They were one meter tall, like a sphere with a big mouth and tentacles all over their bodies.
This creature was born from some special 'experiment'. Their purpose was to eat all the things in a world that multicellular life regarded as nutrients. They were used to prevent the creatures of that world from reviving after being destroyed.
Generally, a world that had been eaten by them would only have some microorganisms left. Everything else would disappear, and that world would also become a wasteland without any large life like the ordinary rollers.
However, this world that had been eaten was not completely useless. Recently, it had a new name — 'Reserve Land'. In order to invade a world, the brain spirit had arranged an army here.
This army included countless Sweepers, a large number of Atlan that had not been completely controlled, and a small number of mechanical troops.
The mechanical troops and Atlan were the vanguard of destruction, and the Sweepers were on standby in the Reserve Land, waiting for the news of destruction. They would then move out to devour the charred remains of the enemy.
However. What they waited for was not the news of victory that the enemy had been destroyed. Instead …
A huge rock fell from the sky.
Rather than a huge rock, it was more like a piece of land. This huge object smashed into the dark land with a loud bang, and along with it, thousands of Atlan fell.
They … were thrown back from the world they were about to invade and fell heavily to the ground.
However, what the Sweepers faced was not only the crisis of being smashed. They faced an even stronger creature. A creature that was better at devouring than them.
This creature had dyed the black land with another color …
…
"Go! Go! " Panicked screams and running footsteps echoed under the dark clouds. A small team of Atlan was running madly.
They ran behind a rock, and every Atlan was panting. Although they were trained to have good physical strength, it was difficult for them to withstand a long run.
There was another reason why they were panting.
"My gas conversion device is blocked … Huu … Huu … This has to be removed …" One of the Atlan reached out his hand to remove the helmet on his head. Another Atlan immediately stopped him and said, "Stop! That will infect those things! "
"You should be fine after running so far! If you don't clean the ventilation holes, you'll suffocate! "
"Haven't you ever thought about what is blocking the ventilation hole?"
"… Ah!" Hearing his companion's voice, the Atlan finally understood. Then, it said in despair, "Then … where can we go to be safe?"
"I'm afraid … no matter how far we run, we won't be safe." An Atlan climbed onto the rock and stood on a high spot. It looked into the distance and said, "They … are spreading very quickly."
In the distance, there was a piece of land that looked different from this place.
It was mainly white and covered a large area. It looked as soft as a carpet. On this white carpet, there were all kinds of strange structures.
These structures were as tall as towers, and some were constantly expanding like spheres. There were also some that were disc-shaped.
No matter what kind of structure it was, they were all shaking slightly. Large amounts of powder were sprinkled from their bodies. The powder was blown away by the wind.
"Leader … What should we do?"
The other Atlans stood under the rocks and looked at the land that was dyed white. The vast white land was slowly expanding. Although the Atlans ran much faster than the speed at which it was expanding, every Atlan knew very well that sooner or later, they would run to a place where they had nowhere to run.
"Those things, they said they would devour everything. But now, they are completely useless …"
Atlan could see many spherical creatures with tentacles crawling on the rocky ground around the white area. These creatures rushed towards the white area at a very fast speed and kept gnawing on the seemingly soft 'white carpet' on the ground as if they had gone mad. However, after they ate a part of it, they would quickly fall to the ground and slowly die ….. Atlan could see that there were many spherical creatures with tentacles crawling on the ground around the white area.
On the bodies of these creatures, a large number of silk threads would grow out. These silk threads slowly wrapped around their bodies and turned them into part of the white carpet.
"Even those monsters with the name of Sweepers have become nutrients for these things …" Standing on the rock, the Atlan who was called the leader said, "We can only hide underground."
"But what about those Burneds? Where are our weapons? " One of the Atlan said, "I haven't seen them since just now. If it's the Burneds, they should be able to burn them down!"
"They are not here anymore," the leader said. The captain said, "Those things … After the invading troops were teleported back, they all flew away for some reason. The only ones left are us, the infantry, and those Sweepers who kept on feeding … the fungi as fertilizer!"
"Yes …" Another Atlan said, "It is said that those flying machines have all flown away. They … have completely abandoned us here!"
"How is that possible … Didn't they promise to bring us back to the ancestral land?"
"They abandoned us!"
"I don't know what happened to them," the leader said. "But now is not the time to give up all hope. Since they are not going to give us a promise, we will fulfill it ourselves!"
"But, what should we do?"
The leader pointed at the Atlan and said, "You! Go and contact the other teams and confirm where we are scattered. You! Go to the nearest underground base. That should be a place to hide. At the same time, activate the weapons there. There should be some that can be used. And you … "
"Be careful!"
