Black Shadow had always been fast. Within a few days, Fang Zheng received a report and live footage from the Shadow Special Operations Ship.
"Looks like Sidonia has started moving too."
In the footage, Fang Zheng watched several sharp-angled armored ships detach from Sidonia and fly toward the star. The entire process was under surveillance, practically like a blockbuster movie, with every angle covered.
"What are they going to do?"
"I don't know either..."
Faced with Fang Zheng's question, Hoshijiro Shizuka shook her head. Beside her, the Gauna curiously stretched itself toward the screen as well—its body, over ten meters tall, obviously could not enter the bridge, but threading its tentacles through the ventilation ducts was no problem. Now, its plump white tentacle swayed back and forth, while two smaller tentacles poked here and rubbed there, much like a human idly passing the time.
Soon, they encountered a connected Gauna—Gauna did not have clearly defined individual bodies. They could merge with one another, and when hundreds or thousands fused together, they formed a Gauna roughly the size of a Destroyer. With even more numbers, they became a Collective Ship, and with still more, a Mass Collective Ship...
This showed that the Gauna had one advantage over the Zerg: at the very least, their numbers had no upper limit.
Their only weakness was that whether fused or alone, the moment their core was hit, their entire bodies would immediately disintegrate. Even a gigantic Collective Ship as large as two stars was no exception. That was probably why Sidonia dared to confront them head-on. Otherwise, something that enormous would be enough to scare them off through sheer volume alone.
Before this Mass Collective Ship, even a moon-sized planet was like a marble. Without a one-hit-kill weakness, charging in would be nothing but
