Chapter 144: graveyard planet

The battle at this United Galactic Fortress isn't the only one the belligerents are watching.

The young civilizations of the galaxy are also observing this battle, and the battle here will determine their actual strategy.

The "cordyceps disease", which was thought to be effectively curbed, brought even greater harm. No one thought that those ancient space "mythical creatures" would actually become part of the "cordyceps disease".

"That's the Mother Space Whale, and..." The combined fleet commander who commanded the battle finally showed a desperate expression at this moment.

In addition to the Patriarch who took the lead, more and more huge "mythical creatures" appeared from the void in the darkness.

Some of these are recorded by the galaxy, but the vast majority are undiscovered creatures.

It was not until this time that the civilizations of the galaxy realized that there are so many mysterious space behemoths in the galaxy.

Civilizations including the Tinder Alliance are all serious about this, because so many space behemoths infected with "cordyceps disease" can gather here alone.

This "mythical creature" has the ability to rival an entire fleet, so how many will they have to face by then? .

"Among the 'mythical creatures' that have appeared here, the ones that have been recorded are the Space Whale Clan Mother and the Split Claw Dragon..."

A Tinder Alliance scientist keeps flipping through their files, watching footage interrupted by unknown influences.

The Space Whale mother has many encounter records in the galaxy, and the information about it is also the most detailed, and it is easy to recognize at a glance.

But there is only one encounter record with the Cleftclaw Giant Dragon, and the scientist who discovered it also unfortunately died in the mouth of this space behemoth.

However, the information related to it was recorded and was quickly found by the scientists of the Tinder Alliance.

This "mythical creature" originated from an archaeological relic. The civilization responsible for the excavation at that time finally discovered the planet pointed to by the relic after a long effort and inspection of several galaxies related to it.

The civilization at that time thought that their efforts were about to reap rewards, but just as they were about to open the ruins, the "Splitting Claw Dragon" appeared in that galaxy out of thin air and destroyed the archaeological spaceship of that civilization.

This catastrophe from the sky made the galaxy aware of the existence of this "mythical creature", although some civilizations have always had thoughts about this "split-clawed dragon" and the ruins that are still short of the last step.

But due to various reasons, they failed to organize a decent force to destroy this space behemoth.

Now, the split-clawed giant dragon, which has not been able to deal with it in time, has become one of the machetes swung at them. It has been strengthened by "Cordyceps disease", and now it becomes even more terrifying.

Disgusting hyphae protrude from the rotting flesh from time to time, swaying in the universe. Under the huge dragon body, there is a strange blue light spreading.

A strange beam of light spewed out from the mouth of the split-claw dragon, destroying the swept fleet like a dragon's breath. The shields and armor were dissolved in the incomprehensible biological energy, which made people fall in love with it.

"...these two 'mythical creatures' were recorded by us, and even though they have been modified by 'cordyceps disease', they are basically the same as the description in the document,"

"But... what are those other 'stuff'?"

More than one person had the same question as this Tinder Alliance scientist, because it was the first time they had seen the remaining "creatures".

Those that follow the Space Behemoths are a kind of "moving planet".

At first, the observers thought they had misread it, thinking it was a drifting planet.

But through the detection of signal fluctuations and gravitational anomalies, they confirmed that those planets can also be counted as some kind of biological weapons.

There are continuous blocks of land cracking due to fungal activities, causing the rocky surface to be thrown into space due to huge stress.

But at the moment when the rock layer was detached, the hyphae buried deep in the ground pulled the rock layer back like tentacles, and then stuck it again.

On the seemingly uninhabited planet, a huge number of biological signals can be detected.

Because it was so powerful, the observers even thought that other "mythical creatures" had come here.

When people were still wondering what this strange planet could do, they saw that the disgusting hyphae on the surface of the planet began to gather and entangle, and soon formed something similar to the roots of trees.

Those "mycelium rhizomes" began to grow longer and longer, breaking through the meager atmosphere, engulfing the broken space creature corpses that approached due to gravity.

Then everyone understood what this kind of planet was for.

I saw that the "cordyceps organisms" that had been inactivated due to various attacks showed signs of activity again under the wrapping of mycelium, and once again made an attacking posture.

The efficiency of this kind of "repair" has exceeded imagination. Even the body fragments that are missing 80% of the body, can only see a pile of minced meat, and cannot even recognize the original body, have been mended for a period of time. After supplementing, he gained combat power.

Even if these corpses are already regarded as fungal organisms from the perspective of their physical components, as long as they still have usable organs, they can become the targets of fungal "resurrection".

Most of the dead bodies that had been confirmed before had returned to the battlefield, and only those parts that were completely destroyed disappeared forever in the sea of stars.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the fleet stationed here.

Originally, their battle loss ratio could barely reach 1:1.5 or even 1:2, but now that those corpses that were regarded as "head count" stood in front of them again, their battle loss ratio reached a terrifying 5:1 1.

They need the saturated firepower of several warships to completely destroy a "corpse", but those corpses that are not completely destroyed will stand in front of them in another posture in a short time.

The battle line is retreating, and virus missiles, which are regarded as "fungus killers", are also difficult to play a role.

Although the virus in the missile can effectively interrupt the activity of the fungus, under planetary-level purification, the toxin can be easily broken down.

The commander here is still working hard to prevent the rout of the front line, but it is only a matter of time, and it won't be long before he himself has to take a special plane to leave here.

Obviously, this campaign that was supposed to be a great victory against "cordyceps disease" went to the road of failure.

"Perhaps... this strange 'fungus planet' is the root cause of 'cordyceps disease'. If we can completely destroy this planet, then we may be able to end this crisis."

"...It's very difficult. These planets can move interstellarly due to unknown biological activities, and the internal hyphae are deeply rooted, which means that it is basically impossible for us to completely destroy them through simple orbital bombing."

"But at least we have new information and we can shift our focus to that."

"The naming of 'Fungus Planet' is too arbitrary. As an object that needs to be focused on, we have to come up with a new name to emphasize that this is the focus of 'Galaxy Crisis'."

Among the "galactic community", the remaining young civilizations who are still fighting fiercely against this crisis quickly passed the shift of the focus of the galaxy.

Now is a critical moment. Among the parliamentary proposals, there are only matters related to solving the crisis.

"Galaxy Focus: Fungal Control; Goal: Destroy all 'graveyard planets'."

"Graveyard Planet" is the special name given by these young civilizations to that kind of strange active planet, and it is an enemy that only exists in this crisis.

This kind of planet is like a cemetery, as if it can give birth to endless "space undead", which gave them this name.

With the update of the Galaxy Notice, the "crisis fighters" who are still struggling to resist have a clearer understanding of this crisis, and have shifted their focus to how to destroy those "cemetery planets".
