The black core ship activated its Reverse Thrusters and slowly descended. This enormous spherical vessel, 1,029 meters in diameter, settled steadily onto the ground. But unlike an ordinary Luukri-Hok-class battleship, no hatch opened beneath it to unleash swarms of robots.
Instead, the core ship split apart entirely!
This was clearly a modified core ship. Its hull divided into four sections, fully exposing the structure within. And in the middle of the core ship stood a horrifying, disgusting insect nest!!
