It seemed like God had launched the missile not too long after the truck had flown away.
Either that, or God's missile had flown very quickly.
The Scholar stood beside a large crater and came to this conclusion as he looked at the debris scattered all over the place. As for God …
Well, it was sitting nicely in this crater.
This tree-like object, which was close to 100 meters long, lay motionless in the crater formed by the explosion. Although the explosion seemed powerful, it did not seem to be affected at all.
God's body was still in its frozen state. The Scholar thought that it might wake up, but this was a good opportunity for the Scholar to study God's structure and collect some samples.
However, the Scholar was hesitant because he also wanted to investigate the disappearance of the mechanical dust crocodile and what happened to the two brain-creating monsters. Not only had they become crazier, but they were also … living well here.
The Scholar felt that they were no longer normal cellular creatures.
In any case, he would study it first.
Thinking about this, the Scholar climbed down from the edge of the crater and soon reached the bottom of the crater and walked to … God's side.
Boom … Just as the Scholar was about to collect samples, he heard a vibration coming from beside him. He turned around and saw a familiar figure slowly crawling toward him.
It was … a cloud of dust.
It was called that because this thing looked like a cloud of dust. Its whole body was made up of a large amount of dust. The Scholar also thought that there might be a real body under the outer layer of dust. It was generally gray. This one was smaller than the previous one, about six meters in diameter.
It seemed to have come out of the ground and was slowly moving toward them. It did not pay attention to the Scholar and moved to the Scholar's side.
The cloud of dust leaned against God's body and slowly turned in place … This cloud of dust seemed to be rubbing its whole body against God's skin.
The Scholar was wondering what it was doing when he suddenly heard another sound … He realized that more clouds of dust had appeared.
Some of them came out of the ground, and some of them climbed up from outside the crater. Large and small clouds of dust gathered with God's body as the center.
They pushed each other, pressing their bodies against God's body and began to rotate. Soon, a large number of clouds of dust squeezed the Scholar so tightly that he did not even have room to stand.
The Scholar did not need to stand because he jumped up and jumped onto God's body.
However, the scholar found that the body of the god was not a safe place. The dust would climb up, and the scholar had to leave.
It didn't want to come into contact with the dust cloud yet, in case of any accidents, but it still collected a sample of God.
The Scholar activated its flight function and flew out of the crater. When it reached the edge of the crater, it could see that the crater was already filled with dust.
This group of dust was like a scavenger. Once they found food … they would gather in large numbers and slowly devour the target.
They were indeed gnawing on the former Lava God.
As the dust swirled above, the scholar could see that the body of God was getting smaller and smaller. It would not be long before it was eaten up by these things.
Although it was not entirely certain whether they were eating or not, they were indeed reducing the body of God.
This probably meant that … this God might have originally been a species on this Tumbler, and it seemed that they were quite proficient in eating.
If one wanted to fully understand this, one would have to catch a dust cloud and study it. Thinking of this, the Scholar turned to look at a relatively small dust cloud.
This one was particularly small compared to the others of its kind, only about one meter in size. It also crawled very slowly. It appeared from the ground in the distance and crawled for a long time without reaching the edge of the crater.
It looked like it was easy to bully.
Looking at this small dust cloud, the Scholar approached it step by step. When the Scholar was about three meters away …
Boom! The dust cloud suddenly exploded, turning into real dust and drifting in all directions. This made the Scholar a little … stunned.
It thought that there was a body or something in the dust cloud, but it did not expect that there was nothing. It was really just a cloud of dust.
However, the Scholar did not give up. It tried to find the drifting dust on the ground and collect it as a sample. Soon, the Scholar found some and put it into the storage bag where the sample was stored.
Then …
The Scholar looked down at the crater filled with dust clouds and decided … to observe here first and replenish its energy at the same time. In fact, in such a hot and bright place, the Scholar had many ways to replenish its energy.
However, it would take some time, so it would be better to stay here first.
While staying here, the Scholar also saw the process of the dust cloud slowly eating up the god, but in reality … it was almost impossible to see the god itself.
All it could see was a large number of dust clouds. These things squeezed and squeezed, and after a full day of fluff, they all dispersed.
As for the god's body, it had disappeared without a trace.
They really did look like … scavenging creatures.
After a while, the Scholar returned to the truck. There was more dust on the truck and the footprints on the ground were less obvious. Other than that, there was no change.
The mechanical dust crocodile also showed no signs of returning.
The Scholar decided to go out and explore on its own.
There was no need to prepare anything. The Scholar left just like that and continued to step into the vast and hot wilderness. It was unknown when it would end.
Perhaps it was not the end.
… Just like that, a few more fluff days and nights passed by …
As usual, the Scholar studied its samples while walking in the wilderness.
The surrounding scenery was the same as before. The hot wind was still blowing on the ground. It did not encounter any dust clouds, brain monsters, strange bubbles, or the missing mechanical dust crocodile.
However, the Scholar's footsteps stopped.
Because it saw … the figure of a god.
A smaller … god.
It was about thirty meters tall, and its whole body seemed to be made of boiling lava. There was not only one, but a total of ten such 'gods'. They were moving slowly on the plains in the distance.
The Scholar thought … maybe it could try to communicate with them. Since the previous gods could communicate, maybe these could?
With this thought in mind, the Scholar slowly walked over. When it approached, it found that other than the god, there was something else there.
