Chapter 169: An Unexpected Enemy

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As a ‘real natural disaster’ that was dealt with before it could wreak havoc in the galaxy, the caterpillar fungus lifeforms that caused great trouble for the Milky Way civilizations were destroyed by the ‘Presolin.’

The acidic spray of various biochemical substances in their bodies had a terrifying corrosive power comparable to that of a Matter Separator. The caterpillar fungus lifeforms that were sprayed were turned into white smoke in less than half a minute.

Li Wenyuan, who had seen the ‘Presolin’ battling for the first time, also lit up a new technology he had not seen for a long time.

[Diverse Natural Disaster Weapon (Solin Protozoa)]

[Technology Level: 6]

[Introduction: These poor bugs can only use the chemicals produced in their bodies to defend themselves. The acid they spit out can even be scattered by some defensive weapons. Can’t they shoot a big, thick beam like the Ether Dragons? Maybe we should use genetic engineering to give them better self-defense.]

[Possible Technology: None]

Along with that technology, a unique planetary obliteration weapon component was unlocked.

[Incubation Injection]

[Component: Planetary obliteration weapon]

[Introduction: The research on ‘Presolin’ has allowed us to inject a large amount of nutrient solution into the inside of the planet through the Colossus. In this way, a planetary-level ‘egg’ will be born! We can speed up this process, or we can wait and see until the ‘egg’ hatches.]

It sounded like a space-level ‘incubator,’ but the result of the incubation of a planet regarded as an ‘egg’ was enough to prove the words ‘planetary obliteration weapon.’

However, those new things weren’t of much use to Li Wenyuan. He was more interested in watching the ‘Presolin’ battling.

That group of giant beasts that were far more terrifying than the caterpillar fungus lifeforms showed their true strength.

The acidic spray initially used was put aside after evaporating countless caterpillar fungus lifeforms. After calming down from their anger, the ‘Presolin’ began to feel sorry for those lifeforms that were ‘completely destroyed.’

To them, they were all edible food!

Although it was food that could run, there must be a way to solve that problem.

Therefore, the ‘Presolin’ gave up on the acid attack and turned to the most primitive bite to deal with the flesh stitched up by the fungi.

The caterpillar fungi, which had always succeeded in their parasitic ways, met their natural enemy at that moment. Their tentacles were completely helpless against the powerful bodies of the ‘Presolin.’

Even if there were spores that were lucky enough to enter the wounds of the ‘Presolin,’ they would be turned into nutrients by that lifeform’s immune system.

Not to mention the parts that were swallowed, most of them became the energy of the ‘Presolin’ in just a few minutes.

For the ‘Presolin,’ the caterpillar fungi that made the Milky Way pale was a kind of fungi that could be eaten. It was a kind of ‘food.’

Some pieces of meat were still moving because of the activity of the fungi inside, even after being cut into pieces. But the ‘Presolin’ quickly evolved a specialized poison gland. A bite could turn the caterpillar fungus lifeform into a corpse again.

As a result, the caterpillar fungus lifeforms that invaded the ‘Granary’ galaxy were quickly cleaned up. Not only did the amount of food in Presolin not decrease, but it increased.

Even though the lifeform fleet of the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ seemed endless, the ‘Presolin’ was completely crushing them.

Those refugees from beyond the Milky Way also had a terrifying ability to proliferate, but they had no interest in that matter and only wanted to store food, which made their numbers seem much smaller.

However, if they decided to use the accumulated food to reproduce, their numbers could reach a terrifying level after some time.

After Queen ‘Presolin’s’ anger subsided, she began to calculate how many caterpillar fungus lifeforms there were in the Milky Way and how she could get more ‘food’ with the least amount of food.

She had already discovered that those caterpillar fungus lifeforms had no intelligence. The threat that was difficult to deal with for the Milky Way civilizations was like a group of moving chicken legs to her. She really wanted to put them into the Granary of ‘Presolin.’

Hence, she thought for a moment and tentatively asked the Administrator’ about the feasibility of that matter.

If the ‘Administrator’ didn’t allow it, she could only hold a regretful attitude and obediently wait for her death at the ‘Hatchery.’

“…That…These caterpillar fungus lifeforms have no inteliigence…Can we eat them?”

She asked carefully, but Li Wenyuan did not stop her.

He had always been curious about what the ‘Benevolent Host’ wanted to do. The purpose of that lost empire seemed to be related to the Milky Way civilizations.

They were trying to put all the Milky Way civilizations under their control. As for whether they really wanted to have a showdown against the ‘caterpillar fungus disease,’ that was still open to discussion.

However, there was no need for ‘Presolin’ to do anything. He would have also taken action after the Milky Way civilizations tried their best but could still not clean up the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ and eliminate that threat.

No matter what the ‘Benevolent Host’ wanted to do, attempting to control and destroy the entire Milky Way civilizations was not allowed.

As for ‘Presolin,’ she was just taking his place in advance.

Therefore, the Milky Way civilizations, including the ‘Galaxy Community,’ soon received an unexpected announcement.

[The ‘Granary’ has been eaten by detestable ‘rats’…]

[This kind of behavior is not tolerated by the ‘Presolin’…]

[We will clean up these disgusting ‘rats’ and…recover their corpses]

That baffling news surprised the civilizations at first, but after seeing the civilization that sent the message, their doubts were immediately solved.

“It’s the ‘Lost Beehive Empire’! 1 was wondering why ‘Granary’ sounded so familiar….”

“It’s a good thing that they’re participating in the battle. The pressure on us will definitely decrease by a lot! So…how did they participate in the battle?”

“…They mentioned that the ‘Granary’ was eaten by rats…Perhaps the ‘Granary’ galaxy had suffered? But shouldn’t that place be far from the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’?”

The ‘Galaxy Community’s’ conference room plunged into a weird silence. According to their calculation, the spread of the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ would lead them to a decisive battle with it before those space undead spread to the ‘Granary.’

However, an unexpected situation that no one knew about had dragged the lost empire, which was not supposed to participate in the war, into the battle, causing everyone to be puzzled.

Hence, the representatives of the civilizations looked at each other, guessing who had caused all of that.

“But it’s a good thing. The ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ certainly didn’t expect to meet such an ‘unexpected enemy,’ right?”

However, unlike the excitement of the others, the Pyro Alliance was very uneasy. They felt that things were developing in an unexpected way.

The leader of the Pyro Alliance also learned about the exchanges in the ‘Galaxy Community’ and revealed a look of worry.

“An ‘unexpected enemy,’ huh….”

He thought of the lost empire that was full of mysteries and seemed closely related to the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ crisis.

“…Hopefully, they won’t be the real ‘unexpected enemy’….”
