"This thing can't move."
This was a room within the research institute … one could say that it was a specimen room.
The room was separated by a transparent wall, and each room had some specimens that could not move.
However, there were also some that could move … living specimens.
A metallic spider was standing between these specimen rooms. It was looking at one of the specimen rooms and the creature inside.
Inside this specimen room was a creature that looked like … a scallop. To be precise, it was called 'Devour'.
"What a random name. It should be called 'The Second'." The metallic spider looked at the creature inside. At the same time, the 'passenger' inside the spider was also studying the situation.
It had just arrived, and its main purpose was to study some of the creatures here … for example, this' Devour '.
Devour was a creature that was very good at … decomposing. The purpose of this habit was still unknown. It was said that this creature could create a 'tearing force' that could tear apart anything that came close to it.
It would swallow the torn material into its body, but in reality, it did not eat the material that it swallowed. The material that entered its body might appear in certain places in the tube. Because there was a certain pattern to where it appeared, it was easy to discover.
Therefore, the purpose of their tearing and swallowing was unknown. Since it was not for food, why would it … swallow?
Later, this phenomenon was discovered. Once, the research institute discovered that the torn pieces of the object appeared in another place.
Different from the past, this time, the object that appeared in another place was not a fragment but a complete … object.
After careful examination, it was discovered that this object was indeed formed from the fragments that had been swallowed. This quickly attracted the curiosity of the researchers. They discovered that some Devours could indeed reassemble the torn pieces.
It was possible to reassemble into a brand new object, but its purpose was unknown. It was also possible to reassemble into its original appearance.
There was still a lot of research on Devours. However, Devours were very difficult to … capture. Furthermore, they often encountered various situations, such as' powdering '.
Powdering was a situation that happened by chance. It meant that the objects around a Devour turned into dust, but it did not swallow them.
This usually happened without any attention, so the researchers didn't know how it happened.
In the end, there was only one stable Devon left in the research institute, which was the one in the specimen room. This was the only Devon that would not encounter any problems.
It was kept here to be used for research occasionally, but it rarely did anything else. To be precise, it was very lazy. Generally, it did not decompose or reassemble objects, and it did not like to cooperate with research.
So it had always been placed here, forgotten here, until …
It came to see it.
"Therefore, this Non-Rolling II should be the Steamer," the metal spider said. "It will make the small particles roll, but it will not roll itself."
"Don't keep naming yourself." Another voice came from the metal spider. "This should be the ancestor of the Transpiration because they are very similar. Before Midgard went into hibernation, the Transpiration also came to Midgard. The content of their conversation should be … that."
"Which ones?"
"They asked Midgard to help with the project, or they wanted to vaporize some of the buildings in Midgard. No matter what, Midgard did not agree."
"So, are they coming for revenge now?"
"I don't know … but the abnormality here might be caused by them. Only they can do these … things."
"So, we have to stop them. Yes … to stop them, we have to deal with that thing first! "
At the same time, on the other side …
This was a scorching world … the surface of the melting zone.
In the scorching sky, a giant figure appeared.
Xing Ju, it flew straight down from the sky. When the scorched earth full of orange cracks became clearer and clearer, it turned around and flew in another direction at high speed.
It did not crash into the ground directly. Instead, it flew across the scorching earth as if it was looking for something.
It had already left the Hero's octopus far behind, so it felt safe, and its flying speed slowed down.
But …
Boom!
The sound of explosions rang out beside Xing Ju. It twisted its body slightly and looked into the distance with its eyes that were somewhere unknown.
In the distant sky, a machine that had eight legs like the octopus but was not an octopus was flying quickly toward it.
It was a … metal spider.
There were two metallic spiders. One of them was very small and was' Devour 'in the research facility. The other one was … this one was very large and had a wingspan of nearly 100 meters. Its mission was to chase after Star Condensation.
"Hurry up, hit it until it rolls!"
No matter which spider it was, they were all controlled by two creatures. Several missiles flew out from the back of the metal spider, flying toward Xing Ju in the distance.
Xing Ju twisted its body, allowing the missiles to fly between its body. However, the missiles quickly turned around and flew back, crashing into its body.
Boom!
Another explosion sounded. Perhaps because it had suffered a lot of damage in the battle with the octopus, it could no longer fly in the sky and crashed onto the scorching earth.
A deep trench was formed in the ground by its huge weight. Xing Ju twisted its body and crawled on the trench, pushing away large patches of scorched earth as it moved forward.
Boom!
The spider missiles in the sky did not stop. Countless missiles fell as if they were going to swallow Xing Ju, but these missiles … did not all hit their targets.
Something shiny on the ground shot up and collided with the missiles. Fireworks bloomed above Xing Ju's body.
"What's that?"
The spiders asked. They saw that the ground beside Xing Ju's body had many … small mountains. More accurately, they were … small volcanoes.
The tops of these mountains were hollow, and they would shoot lava balls at the missiles to stop them from bombing.
"Maybe it's a local creature. Don't worry about it, continue bombing!"
The spiders' attacks continued. Although some of them were blocked, many still hit Xing Ju's back.
In the midst of the explosions, Xing Ju's speed became slower and slower, but … it still struggled to crawl forward.
It seemed that it wanted to enter the lava lake in front of it. (To be continued.)
