"… What?"
With a confused expression, Atlan stared at the sky.
"What's coming?" The sky was still shrouded in fog. The fungal powder only allowed him to see the dim light in the sky. However, he noticed that there was a place in the sky that was much darker than the rest.
It was as if something huge was there.
"It wants to stop us." The beetle stood beside Atlan and said, "We won't let that happen. We want … revenge!
After that, the beetle ran off again.
"Revenge? What revenge? "Atlan turned around and found that Beetle was nowhere to be found.
The beetle had always been like this. He would come over to say a few words and then run away. Then, he would appear again at some point. Even with this strange situation, he was still the same.
Rumble … As he was thinking, Atlan heard a roar in the sky.
That huge shadow was getting closer and closer, and countless dust particles were stirred up by its appearance, forming a small whirlwind.
Atlan slowly saw the shadow in the sky clearly. It seemed to be a huge … aircraft.
"Could it be …" Atlan suddenly remembered the promise that Maya had made to him. He became excited … Could it be that the aircraft was Maya coming to save him?
Its kind that had just finished assembling the cubes seemed to have the opposite idea. Although they were in a trance, they still knew how to look up at the sky. However, when they saw the aircraft in the sky, they all seemed to be frightened and ran away in an instant.
"Wait! You guys! "
Atlan thought that Maya would save them all so he tried to stop his companions. However, his companions didn't listen to him this time. They had all run away.
The huge aircraft was close to the ground.
The aircraft was more than 50 meters long. The overall shape was like a ship. However, to Atlan, it was strange because he had never seen a ship before.
Clack clack clack …
When the aircraft was about a hundred meters away from the ground, Atlan heard a lot of noises around him. A large number of skeletons appeared on the ground around him. They all ran to the bottom of the aircraft and stared at it with their glowing eyes. They kept biting their lips and making clicking sounds. It felt rather … terrifying.
At this time, the aircraft in the sky also moved. A large number of holes suddenly opened on both sides of the aircraft. Some metal ball-like objects flew out from the holes and shot towards the skeletons on the ground.
Boom! The first metal ball smashed heavily into the group of skeletons, causing dust to splatter everywhere. At the same time, it crushed a large number of skeletons.
Crack! The surrounding skeletons pounced on the sphere in a frenzy. They kept biting the sphere with their sharp nails and teeth, but it was to no avail.
Boom! More metal balls fell to the ground, and more dust rose into the air. Atlan could barely see the situation in front of him clearly.
However, Atlan still heard all sorts of noises coming from the smoke. Among these noises, the sound of bones breaking was the most common.
When the dust slowly dissipated, Atlan saw that the ground was littered with broken bones. Some oddly colored liquid flowed out from the broken bones.
A group of strange creatures stood on top of the broken bones.
These creatures looked like a type of creature called a praying mantis, but Atlan had never seen a praying mantis before, so it was very strange to him.
These creatures were about one and a half meters tall. Although they looked like insects, they were wearing metal armor that perfectly protected their heads, bodies, and every limb. When they wrapped themselves tightly, the dust here couldn't infect them.
Atlan noticed that among these creatures wearing armor, there was a creature with a different shape.
This creature looked like it had a very big mouth, which was also wearing armor. It was now walking towards Atlan.
"You're still alive."
When it walked in front of Atlan, this was the first thing it said.
"I … You're Maya?" Atlan was stunned. Then he asked the creature, "Are you here to take us away?"
"Yes, I'm Maya," the creature said to him. The creature said to Atlan, "I will fulfill my promise, but you have to tell me what they are doing here."
"You've already seen it." Atlan pointed at the square not far away and said, "They … They want us to make that thing."
Then Atlan told some of the things that happened here. The creature that said it was Maya but was actually a Cryopteris said to him, "Now I understand."
"They want to use this thing to go somewhere else and do something," the creature from Maya said, "But they're …"
Boom! The ground shook and interrupted the creature's words.
Atlan looked at the source of the earthquake. In the surrounding fog, a large number of huge creatures appeared.
These were the modified forms of the "monsters" they saw before. They came here. These huge monsters tilted their heads and looked at Maya's army, as if they would attack them at any time.
Maya's army seemed to ignore these "monsters." They were all looking at the square in the middle.
"We just need to destroy the square."
When the Cryopteris said this, Maya's mantis army all rushed towards the square. They jumped on the square and waved the sharp blades on their forelimbs to cut the outer shell of the square.
The sharp knife that was swung out at high speed instantly left a crack on the cube. The seemingly ordinary attack had easily scratched the cube.
Boom! At this moment, all the giant monsters in the surroundings moved. They ran wildly on the fungal carpet with heavy steps, kicking up a cloud of dust as they rushed towards the Mayan troops.
The moment the first troll approached, a group of Mayan troops suddenly turned their heads and looked at it. They immediately jumped down from the blocks and rushed towards the troll.
These armored insects climbed up the monster's legs and continuously used their forelimbs to cut the monster. A large amount of liquid gushed out of the monster's wounds, and pieces of meat scattered in the air like raindrops.
Not long after, more than half of the flesh on the giant monster was cut off by the Mayan troops. The giant monster now looked like it had deep wounds all over its body, and it could no longer stand. With a loud bang, the giant monster fell to the ground.
Maya's army then turned to the other monsters. They used the same method to quickly cut off the flesh on the monsters' bodies. As long as the muscles on their legs were cut off, they could no longer stand and fell to the ground.
As the monsters fell one by one, a large number of cracks appeared on the army on the square. Some insects had already drilled into the cracks and continued to slash at the monsters inside.
Maya obviously wanted to destroy the square. Atlan watched from the side. He should have supported Maya's actions because he didn't want the terrifying fungus to go anywhere else. Besides, Maya said that she wanted to save them.
However, he felt that there was an emotion in his mind. He felt that he should stop Maya from doing this.
However, he didn't say anything and didn't stop Maya.
It just stood there and watched as the monsters in front of it slowly turned into skeletons and fell to the ground one by one under Maya's attack. It watched as the cube put together by their companions was slowly broken down by Maya bit by bit.
After almost all the monsters were dealt with, the fungus didn't send any more troops. Atlan also didn't see the beetle again.
At the same time, the square was slowly broken down under Maya's attack and turned back into its original parts.
No, these were just parts. Now, none of the parts were complete. It was obviously impossible to put them back together.
"Alright, they're no longer a threat."
Cryopteris walked in front of Atlan and said, "Now, I can take you and your companions away from here."
"I …"
This should have been a very exciting thing for Atlan, but now, he felt that there was a strange emotion surrounding him.
"I … Got it."
Looking at the debris on the ground in the distance, Atlan stabilized the strange feeling in his mind and said, "Take me … Away."
After that, Maya let the Atlans board the aircraft first. Then, the aircraft left this place and flew to the Atlans' camps outside the fungus area. Then, the Atlans there were picked up by Maya.
Every Atlan received a detailed inspection before boarding the aircraft. Maya made sure that they didn't carry any fungus before letting them board the aircraft.
As for the Atlan that were already under the control of the fungus, Maya didn't save them. She only caught one back for some research.
After that, Maya also explored this world. She found many underground bases of the Brain Spirits and destroyed the technology left behind in those bases.
However, without the Atlan, the fungus wouldn't have been able to use those technologies.
Maya also wanted to clean up the fungus, but it was a little difficult at the moment. So, she decided to bring the Atlan to Moon's place to settle down. When they left, all the Atlan were extremely happy and excited. They could finally leave this nightmarish world.
Except for one Atlan, who didn't seem to be excited …
Regardless, Maya left this world. Because she destroyed the Brain Spirit technology and took the Atlan with her, the fungus couldn't leave this place.
Just like that, the fungus' problem was solved. The Atlan also left. The fungus incident ended just like that …? Floating astronomy.
