This was... a small battle in the void.
On one side, there were tens of thousands of pompoms, and on the other, there were thousands of flesh-covered aircrafts.
Most of these pompoms were about one to ten meters long, and they were all improvised by Lin.
The aircrafts also seemed to have been improvised. Of course, they were relatively large, about ten meters in size, and some even reached up to a hundred meters.
However, their weapons were relatively simple. Most of them were cannons, and some were less powerful missiles.
The continuous attacks continued to bombard the fluffy balls that were flying all over the place.
All the pompoms flew in the storm of bullets. They did not attack from a distance... Instead, they quickly approached the aircrafts, and then... Boom!
A one-meter pompom could blast a large hole in the surface of an aircraft that was tens of meters long. Because it usually hit the engine, the entire aircraft would be destroyed in an instant.
However, Lin noticed that when each aircraft exploded, it would spill a large amount of... meaty things. These meaty things would stick to the shells of nearby aircrafts.
Under Lin's continuous attacks, aircrafts were destroyed one after another, but the number of pompoms kept increasing.
In a large area of the void, many aircrafts gathered. Lin noticed that they had increased to tens of thousands, while the number of pompoms did not increase as quickly.
Lin had created these pompoms on the spot, but they had been here since the beginning.
It seemed that if the battle continued, all the aircrafts and space stations in the area would gather here...
Lin decided to stop the battle first. So, Lin withdrew all the pompoms into the model sand and closed the entrance.
This caused a large number of aircrafts to gather at the entrance, but because the entrance was closed, they could not enter even if they sensed that there was a space here.
However, this entrance was not closed by Lin, but... the brain of the tunnel.
It was now able to slowly control some parts of the sand.
Lin planned to do some... detailed investigation during this time.
There were many aircrafts in the model sand. They had all broken in before, but now they were all trapped by Lin's pompoms.
Each of them was entangled by a large amount of pompoms, and these pompoms were also examining all the details of the aircrafts.
These creatures were very similar to the gelatinous creatures Lin had encountered before. They were very strange creatures.
The main unit of this group of creatures was not cellular creatures, but creatures that looked like chunks of meat like the ones Lin was seeing now.
These creatures would quickly devour everything around them that could be decomposed and proliferate, which was quite similar to fungi.
However, they were actually completely unrelated to the gelatinous organisms and fungi. They were a new type of organism.
However, they were not completely new, as Lin noticed that these chunks of meat were actually quite similar to the Forerunners.
In other words, they could be … precursors. Although there was a huge difference in appearance, their internal structure was … very similar.
Another interesting thing about them was that when they spread to the inside of the aircraft, they would take control of … the engines and operating systems.
This allowed them to pilot aircraft and maintain them.
These pieces of meat would keep the aircraft in good condition … or more accurately, they would keep most of the aircraft in good condition. As for the appearance, it didn't matter how old it was.
Although they knew how to operate aircraft, they did not know how to upgrade aircraft.
Lin noticed that the aircrafts they were using were the same models used by the Void Empire a long time ago, and they had always been … operating these aircrafts, but they had never upgraded the aircrafts' functions.
They seemed to have been controlling the various things left behind by the Empire and had lived here for a long time.
But most importantly, Lin discovered that they … had brains.
After closing the entrance to the Sea of Sand, Lin discovered that these creatures … had all stopped moving.
Something was commanding these chunks of meat. After investigating with the help of some of the miniaturized soldiers outside, Lin discovered that the Void region outside was actually a 'signal zone'.
Within this signal zone, all the chunks of meat could move. Once they left this zone, they would be unable to move.
And the signal was sent from a certain place.
Lin had the miniaturized soldiers head towards that place … because it was quite far away, they would need to float for a while.
Lin could also take this opportunity to look at the … scenery here.
This place was filled with the Void Empire's transportation vehicles and space stations, which were all covered by chunks of meat. Apart from that, there seemed to be nothing special.
After floating for a while, Lin's miniaturized soldiers arrived at a …
In front of a huge space station.
This space station was the largest in this area. It was shaped like a tree.
It had a 'trunk' that was one kilometer wide and ten kilometers long. At the same time, there were many branch-like structures extending out from both ends.
However, its trunk was made of metal, while the 'branches' around it were made of flesh.
It looked … very strange.
And so, Lin had the miniaturized soldiers float to a certain entrance to the trunk.
The entrance appeared to be a round hatch, but it was open and appeared to be damaged.
After Lin had the miniaturized soldiers float inside, what Lin saw … was a place that looked like a storage room.
Within the room that was over one hundred meters wide, boxes of various sizes were floating everywhere. Most of these boxes were intact, but some were cracked. Inside the boxes were objects that looked like bottles.
This place … should not be anything special.
After looking around for a while, Lin had the miniaturized soldiers float into the storage room.
Lin noticed that … there were many cellular microorganisms floating everywhere in the storage room.
Lin believed that if she were to create a slightly larger soldier here, they would immediately be attacked. So, she did not devour the microorganisms to grow. Instead, she had the miniaturized soldiers float deeper.
After floating for a while, Lin arrived at the door to the storage room.
This should lead to the interior of the space station. But before going through the door, Lin noticed that there were some … strange creatures moving around.
These creatures gathered in front of the door. Their appearance was exactly the same as the space station, in the shape of a tree.
However, they were much smaller, only about one meter in size. There were a total of ten of them here. They seemed to be doing something here.
