4668 Chapter 4668 Full Growth (1/2)

The Star of Devouring Things.

Civilized creatures gave this creature such a name due to the countless corpses it was made of.

The 'star' it spoke of was these land masses that had fallen apart and were now joined together again to form a giant creature.

Although the civilized creature did not yet understand exactly how this creature had acquired their completely unrecorded knowledge, it knew the creature's purpose.

And that was to grow.

Like many creatures, it aspired to grow bigger and stronger.

The last hunt was just the beginning ...... The materials the Devouring Stars obtained from their prey allowed them to go on to create the Light of Eternal Motion.

Although they made very little of it this time, they were able to hit it more accurately.

Like last time, the carapace fired the created light, the last time in a very scattered direction, but this time, they were almost all aimed in one direction.

After the Eternal Light was fired, a few eras passed and a huge creature reappeared on .......

This creature was similar to the last one, a creature several kilometers in size.

These creatures are called 'stationary drifters', and they come in many varieties, generally of great size, and float in the surrounding void.

The creature that came this time wasn't dead yet, though it was close, and died the same way it did last time, from being eaten to death by a parasite inside its body, and the light of eternal motion hit it very precisely.

The last time there was a lot of scattering, apparently because the Star of Prey wasn't sure where the target was, so it was shooting all over the place to search for it, but this time it was able to determine the target's location.

Although the civilized creature didn't know exactly how it confirmed this, it clearly had a way of learning and perceiving things.

Once the creature was close enough, a large number of carcasses went straight to the target without the need for roots.

They were mainly equipped with small thrusters, and once aboard the creatures, they began to dismantle them quickly, but of course the civilized creatures went with them.

The civilized creatures studied the giant creatures wandering in the void in some detail this time, and discovered that the giant creatures were essentially a kind of bio-aggregate.

The aggregates were wonderful, because they happened to be somewhat different from the creations with which the civilized creature was familiar.

They had been constructing new creatures out of a variety of internal organs, biological bodies, and other materials, whereas the Devouring Star was made up of a large number of corpses, which could be said to be disassembled structures.

The Drifters, on the other hand, are made up of complete creatures, and the creatures that make up ...... are the same parasitic organisms that live inside them.

These creatures may have lived in places like land masses, and when they run out of local resources, they will start a civil war.

There is a victor in the civil war, which devours the corpses of all the losers and grows larger and larger, eventually reaching a size of several kilometers ...... while they are initially only a few meters in size.

Then the victor, which eventually grows into a giant creature, will have the ability to move through a static void, and they will seek out new resources.

The parasites inside them are also a group of losers, but these losers did not participate in the civil war, they hid everywhere and survived.

After the victors grew and began to move, they lived inside it as parasites.

The creatures themselves have little ability to store anything that moves, and when they grow they have ...... so the parasites themselves can't make much of a difference unless they are hit by an eternal light.

It seems that the Devouring Star also has a deep knowledge of such drifters.
