Chapter 332 Complete Growth

The Devouring Star.

Civilized creatures gave this name to this creature made up of countless corpses.

The 'star' it refers to are these fragmented land masses, which are now connected together again to form a giant creature.

Although civilized creatures do not understand how this creature obtained knowledge that they have no record of, they know the purpose of this creature.

That's growth.

Like many creatures, it desires to grow larger and stronger.

The last hunt was just the beginning... The materials obtained by the Devouring Star from their prey allowed them to continue to create perpetual light.

Although the number of perpetual lights produced this time was small, they were more accurate.

Like last time, the body launched the perpetual motion light. The direction of the launch was very scattered last time, but this time it was almost all aimed in one direction.

After the perpetual light was emitted, several Ershi years passed...a huge creature appeared again.

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

These creatures are called "Stationary Wanderers". There are many types of them, and they are generally huge in size, floating in the surrounding void.

The creature this time was not completely dead yet, but it was almost dead. The cause of death was the same as last time, it was eaten to death by the parasites in its body. The perpetual light hit it very accurately.

The large amount of scattering last time was obviously because the Devouring Star was not sure where the target was so it was shooting everywhere to search, but this time it can be very sure of the target's location.

Although civilized creatures don't know how it is confirmed, it is obvious that it has its own way of learning and perceiving.

This time, when the creatures approached, a large number of their shells directly climbed onto the target without the need for roots.

They are mainly equipped with some small thrusters. After boarding the creatures, they begin to dismantle quickly. Of course, the civilized creatures also follow them.

This time, the civilized creatures studied this giant creature wandering in the void in more detail and discovered that the giant creature was essentially a biological aggregate.

This kind of aggregate is quite strange because it is somewhat different from the creations that civilized creatures are familiar with.

They have been using various internal organs, biological shells and other materials to construct new organisms, while the Devouring Star is made up of a large number of corpses, which can be said to be composed of disassembled structures.

The Wanderers, on the other hand, are made up of complete organisms, and what makes them up are... the parasitic organisms in their bodies.

This group of creatures may have originally lived in a place like a landmass, and when they exhausted the local resources, they began a civil war.

In the end, there will be a winner in the civil war, and it will devour the bodies of all the losers, thereby growing larger and larger, eventually reaching a size of several kilometers... and they were initially only a few meters in size.

Then, the victors, who eventually grow into giant creatures, will have the ability to move through the static void and they will go looking for those new resources.

The parasites in their bodies are also a group of losers, but these losers did not participate in the civil war. They hid everywhere and thus survived.

After the victor grows and begins to move, they live inside it as parasites.

These creatures themselves have almost no ability to store moving objects, but they will have them after they grow up... So these parasites themselves cannot cause much impact unless they are hit by the perpetual light.

It seems that the Devouring Star also has a deep understanding of this kind of wanderer.

After dismantling the first and second ones, the shells began to use the materials to construct perpetual light to attack more creatures.

This is actually a very long process, because it takes several Ersh years for the perpetual light to respond after it is emitted.

However, every time the perpetual light is launched, it is successful.

Only a small number of these giant creatures were used as the emission material of the perpetual light, and most of them were used for the growth of the Devouring Star itself.

After the Devouring Star obtained enough resources, it began to continue growing and transforming.

This time it did not grow randomly, but grew some strange structures.

This structure is actually the power organ of the drifter.

The Wanderer can move in the static void, relying on a special organ, and now the Devouring Star can create this organ.

However, the number of organs it produces is not enough to move all the land masses.

After hunting down ten Wanderers, it never emitted the Perpetual Light again.

Perhaps because it found that there were no more wanderers in the surrounding void, the Devouring Star gathered most of its body structure on a piece of land.

Although it is originally widely distributed, in fact, when the body is gathered together, it occupies a small area.

After it gathered here, it began to transform this land mass. In addition to producing a large number of shells, it also created a huge organ on this land mass that was hundreds of kilometers in size.

In fact, the resources obtained from hunting creatures cannot allow it to build such a large organ, so this organ is made from part of its own body.

Initially, the Devouring Planet seemed to want to grow by constantly hunting, but after discovering that this approach was not working, it concentrated its resources to move a land mass.

Finally, the other land masses were left, and the one with the organ left its original location.

It moved towards the depths of the static void, and of course the civilized creatures still left with this landmass.

The granular creatures that had been observing them were able to follow the landmasses away from their original positions, and for the first time after a long time, they could see other places in the void.

The journey begins.

After leaving the position originally affected by the activity field, the Devouring Star entered a state of stillness, but this had no effect on it, as many moving things were stored in its body on the landmass and the surface.

The Devouring Star is just as its name suggests, its journey is mainly to bring destruction to other creatures.

After traveling for a while, the Devouring Star encountered its first target to devour. It was also a broken world. There was nothing special about it, except that there were many creatures on it.

The Devouring Star sent out a large number of husks as an army, killing all the creatures on them as resource recycling.

At the same time, it also excavates the surface of this shattered world, taking away anything useful it can find.

What is special is that even though it killed so many creatures, it did not kill the civilized creatures that followed it.

After absorbing the resources of a place, it continues to move forward, moving deeper into the void...looking for more resources.

The creature will continue to grow like this until something changes.

While "observing" this information, Lin also discovered some special situations.
