Chapter 1428 Maybe Ancestor

"This thing can't roll over."

This is within the institute... a room in the herbarium, so to speak.

Transparent walls are used to separate rooms here, and there are some immobile specimens placed in each room.

But there are also some that can move... *specimens.

A metal spider was standing between the herbariums, looking at one of the herbariums and at the creature inside.

This specimen room contains a creature that looks like... a scallop, and its precise name is 'Swallow'.

"What a casual name, it should be called Unroller II." The metal spider looked at the creature inside, and the 'passenger' inside the spider was also studying some situations.

It just came here, mainly to study some of the creatures here...such as this 'Swallow'.

Swallow is a creature that is very good at... decomposing. The purpose of its habit is currently unclear. It is said that this creature will create a "tearing force" to break any material that is close to it.

And it swallows the torn material into the body, but it does not actually eat the swallowed material. The things that enter the body may appear in certain places in the pipe. Because the location of the appearance has a certain pattern, it is easy to Just found out.

Therefore, I have never known the meaning of tearing and devouring them. Since they are not used as food, why should they be... devoured?

Later, new discoveries were made about this phenomenon. One research study found that fragments of objects that were swallowed and torn appeared in another place.

Different from the past, what appeared in another place this time was not a fragment, but a complete... object.

After careful inspection, it was discovered that the object was indeed reassembled from the swallowed fragments. This quickly aroused the curiosity of the researchers, who discovered that some swallows would indeed reassemble the torn objects.

It may be reorganized into a brand new thing, but it has no known use, or it may be reorganized into its original appearance.

There are still many, many studies on swallows, but given that swallows themselves are difficult to...capture, and they often appear in various situations, such as 'powdering'.

Powdering is an accidental situation, that is, all the objects around it turn into dust, and it does not swallow it.

This usually happens without any attention, so researchers can't figure out exactly how it happens.

In the end, there was only one stable swallow left in the institute, which is the one now in the specimen room. This is the only swallow that will not have any problems.

It is left here for occasional research, but relatively nothing happens to it, and it rarely does any other actions. To be precise, it is very lazy. Generally, it does not decompose or reorganize objects, and does not like to cooperate with research. .

So it has always been placed here, forgotten here, until...

It comes to see it.

"So, this Non-Roller II should be the Steamer." Metal Spider said: "It will make small particles roll, but it will not roll itself."

"Don't always name yourself." Another voice rang out from the metal spider: "This should be the ancestor of the Evaporator, because they are very similar. Before Midgard fell asleep, the Evaporator also came to Midgard. Galt, the content of their communication should be...those things."

"Which ones?"

"They asked Midgard to help with the project, or they wanted to evaporate some buildings in Midgard. No matter what it was, Midgard did not agree."

"Then, are they coming for revenge now?"

"I don't know if it's revenge...but the anomalies here may be caused by them. Only they can do these...things."

"So we have to stop them." "Yes... we have to stop them, and get rid of that thing first!"

.........At this time, on the other side......

This is the surface of a scorching world...the Meltdown Zone.

In the hot sky, a huge figure appeared.

Stars gathered, and it flew straight down from the sky. When the scorched black earth covered with orange cracks became more and more clear, it twisted its body and flew in another direction at high speed.

It did not hit the ground directly, but passed over the hot earth. It seemed to be looking for something.

It has left the brave octopus far away, so it feels that it is safe now, and its flying speed has therefore become slower.

but……

'boom--! ’

The roar of explosions sounded around Xingju. It twisted its body slightly and looked into the distance with eyes that didn't know where it was.

I saw in the distant sky, a machine with eight legs like an octopus, but not an octopus... flew towards this side quickly.

This is a... metal spider.

There are two metal spiders, one is very small and stares at 'Swallow' in the research institute, and the other...that is, this one is very large, with its legs spread out to nearly a hundred meters, and its mission is to chase stars. gather.

"Quickly, blast it until it rolls!"

No matter which spider it was, it was controlled by two creatures. Several missiles flew out from the back of the metal spider and flew towards the stars in the distance.

Xingju twisted its body to let the missiles fly between its bodies, but the missiles quickly changed direction and flew back again, hitting it.

'boom--'

The explosion sounded again, perhaps because it had suffered a lot of damage in the previous battle with the octopus, and it was unable to maintain its flight in the sky, so it crashed onto the hot ground.

A deep ditch was created on the ground by the huge weight. Xing Ju twisted his body and crawled on the ditch, squeezing away a large area of ​​charred land while moving forward.

'boom--! ’

The spider missiles in the sky did not stop. Countless missiles fell, seeming to completely devour the stars, but these missiles... not all hit the target.

Because some shiny things on the ground flew up and collided with the missiles, causing a large number of fireworks to bloom above Xingju's body.

"What it is?"

The spiders raised questions. They saw that the ground next to Xingju's body had raised many... hills, to be precise... small volcanoes.

The tops of these mountains are hollow and fire lava balls at the missiles, preventing them from bombing.

"Maybe it's local creatures, just ignore them and keep bombing!"

The spider's attack continued. Although part of it was intercepted, many others hit Xingju's back.

Amidst the roar, the speed of Xingju 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.)
