"Quick, shoot it down!"
"No, we have to be careful here!"
Inside the giant pipe, the chase continued. On one side was Star Condensation, whose skin was glowing, and on the other was the octopus that the hero was piloting.
The chase had been going on for a long time. After countless dodges and explosions, Star Condensation was covered in wounds. It didn't seem like it wanted to hide anymore. Giant cracks appeared on the surface of its body. The octopus that the hero was piloting had also been hit … More than half of its tentacles were gone.
However, this didn't seem to affect the speed of the two parties. They were still chasing each other, but neither of them was shooting at the other.
This was because they were passing through … a place with many 'spectators.'
The 'pipe umbrella' was a large umbrella-shaped creature with a diameter of more than 100 meters. It was said that this creature liked to wander 'high in the sky,' which was the dark space 100 kilometers away from the pipe wall.
During the chase, Star Condensation flew higher and higher. The octopus that the hero was piloting followed and flew into the territory of a large group of 'pipe umbrellas.'
This place should have been very dark, but because the pipe umbrellas glowed, this place was filled with light. Around the octopus and Star Condensation, these glowing umbrellas were floating everywhere. This forced Star Condensation and the octopus to pass through them.
According to Dusty Crocodile, these umbrellas were very dangerous. They floated at such a height, and their only source of food was … aircraft made by various civilizations. It was said that many civilizations' dreams of flying in the void were destroyed by these umbrellas.
They could only eat once in thousands of years. When flying objects came, they would release an 'illusory light' that could affect the brains of most creatures, causing them to crash into them.
If they were attacked, they would fight back. With their … strength, they could win against races that had just learned how to fly at such a height.
However, the strange thing was that they didn't hunt creatures. They only captured aircraft. Although these umbrellas would glow when something flew over, they wouldn't attack creatures. Therefore, as long as they pretended to be normal creatures, they could fly over without any problems.
The only thing was that they couldn't be attacked.
Star Condensation and the hero that received the news followed this rule. They passed through the umbrellas and quickly flew into the distance.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Star Condensation pulled away from the octopus bit by bit. Star Condensation would sometimes crash into the umbrellas, but the umbrellas wouldn't react to it.
The Hero, on the other hand, had to perfectly dodge every single umbrella. This caused Star Condensation to move further and further away from it.
Seeing this situation, the Scholar Walker could not help but feel anxious because … she could still hear the voices in the mini Scholar Walker. Inside the mini Scholar Walker, the demons were saying that the new Demon King was about to appear.
Although the homing projectile had stopped, the Scholar was still able to receive information from the Hero.
For some reason, the Scholar had a feeling that this new Demon King might be a very dangerous character. It had a kind of … premonition. Therefore, before the new Demon King appeared, they had to deal with all the demons in the constellation.
But now, it seemed that it wouldn't be easy.
"Something's happening!" Suddenly, Dusty Crocodile, who was standing beside the Scholar, shouted, "Something is coming in!"
"What is it?" the Scholar asked. "Is there anything that can sneak in here?"
"Normal creatures can't enter, but special creatures can …" Dusty Crocodile said. "I have to check it out. You stay here and keep an eye on the situation!"
With that, Dusty Crocodile quickly ran to the other side. The Scholar hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll go too!"
"Okay, but be careful. Creatures that can enter might be very dangerous!" Dusty Crocodile said. "We have to be careful!"
Dusty Crocodile walked in front of the Scholar. They first entered a tunnel under the wall and followed the tunnel to a room.
This room … The Scholar felt that it was very similar to a room she had seen before. There were screens everywhere. After Dusty Crocodile entered, the screens kept flashing.
It changed almost every half a second. It seemed to be showing the various areas of the base. In the end, all the screens showed the same image.
They all showed the same location … This was where the homing projectile had been placed. Other than the homing projectile, there were many large machines and strange things of unknown use.
Among the large number of things, the Scholar saw … a creature.
This creature was quite big, about six meters wide. However, its body was very flat, only about one meter tall. Its shape was very similar to a creature called a scallop.
Although it looked like it had no legs, it crawled slowly on the ground.
"This is …" Dusty Crocodile was shocked. "This is one of the creatures that can freeze the void. It's called Devour."
"Devour?" The Scholar was confused. "Is that … the whole name?"
"Yes … I didn't come up with that name," Dusty Crocodile said. "It might have entered when we fired the homing projectile."
"It came in so early?" the Scholar asked. "You only noticed it now?"
"No, I mean it noticed … the homing projectile we fired. Then, it followed the projectile to find the base and sneaked in," Dusty Crocodile said. "This creature is not dangerous … It just has some problems."
"Problems?"
"Like this …"
When Dusty Crocodile finished speaking, Devour, which looked like a scallop, moved to the side of a large machine.
It stuck the edge of its body to the machine. The Scholar saw … the part of the machine that touched Devour instantly turned into a large number of small pieces and was absorbed into Devour's body.
"This is why it's called Devour," Dusty Crocodile said. Dust Crocodile said, "It can quickly break down anything it touches into small pieces and swallow them. It can destroy many things."
"Then what should we do?" the Scholar asked. "Should we stop it?"
"But if we stop it …"
Slap! Before Dusty Crocodile finished, there was a flash above Devour. Something appeared in the flash and smashed into Devour's body.
Devour was smashed to pieces in an instant because this thing was three times bigger than it. Furthermore, it seemed to be very heavy because it was a gigantic metallic spider.
"This spider …" The Scholar was stunned. She suddenly realized that the spider looked very familiar.
"This …" Dusty Crocodile was also stunned.
While they were stunned, a voice came from the spider. "Stop spacing out, idiots. Hurry up and deal with that thing called … Star Condensation! It's approaching the meltdown zone! "
