The Battle in the Sky

Simple contact and reconnaissance in the sea using Creep and some Swarm units did not reveal any signs of life.

Therefore, life can only exist in the sky above this planet.

Over the past five years, the Swarm has made numerous attempts to discover that Atmospheric Creature can indeed only exist in the high atmosphere and cannot come to low-altitude areas.

However, those Atmospheric Creature still have many advantages in the sky. They are superior to the Swarm's aerial units in terms of size, speed, strength, and attack methods.

Therefore, over the years, Swarm and Atmospheric Creature have kept to themselves, with Atmospheric Creature creating clouds in the sky and Swarm focusing on development on land.

Before Rowan arrived, the Swarm had no need to fight the enemy on a battlefield where they were at a disadvantage.

However, they weren't doing nothing. Within the Swarm Network, there was a specially assigned Blade Team that continuously observed the insects and Creep covering A7B5, 24/7.

Although Atmospheric Creature can disguise themselves as clouds and remain motionless for months or even years, Swarm still managed to track down some of these Cloud Creature through subtle clues.

The Spore Sac meteorite that Rowan was riding on this time specifically chose a path with a particularly large number of Atmospheric Creature. If the Spore Sac meteorite could be "played with" by the Atmospheric Creature like last time, leaving behind a lot of transparent fluid, then he only needed to lick it thoroughly to complete this mission easily.

In an effort to attract the attention of Atmospheric Creature, the Spore Sac meteorite didn't even slow down to a safe level; instead, it streaked through the atmosphere at a relatively high speed, leaving a trail of sparks.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The Spore Sac meteorite that Rowan was riding on simply swaggered across the red sky, glowing red. More than half of the surrounding white clouds were actually Atmospheric Creature in disguise. But even after the meteorite landed and Rowan emerged from the Spore Sac looking completely bewildered, he hadn't been attacked at all.

Have all the Atmospheric Creature gone into hibernation?

Rowan and the Intellect racked their brains for a long time, but due to the lack of information, they couldn't come up with a solution. However, it didn't matter; even if Plan One failed, there was still Plan Two.

Over the Insect Empress, along with the energy accumulated by the Creep that has spread across the entire continent, have done much more than simply monitor and investigate Atmospheric Creature.

Suddenly, cracks appeared on the boundless purplish-gray Creep, revealing underground passages hidden behind it.

One after another, enormous Wind God crawled out of the underground passage, densely packed together, numbering in the tens of thousands.

After crawling out of the tunnel and onto the ground, they moved around a little, their bodies stiff from a long hibernation. Then, suddenly, they pushed off the ground with their two forelimbs, flapped their wings, and flew towards the direction where Rowan Wen was.

These tens of thousands of Wind God are part of the results of the four Swarm bases over the past five years. This is because the gravity of A7B5 is much weaker than that of the Origin Star.

Therefore, using the same template, on A7B5, you can easily make the actual product larger.

These Wind God are larger than their counterparts on the Origin Star, with wingspans exceeding 20 meters. To avoid conflicts with Atmospheric Creature mid-flight, the Wind God fly at extremely low altitudes.

Tens of thousands of Wind God, like fighter jets, converged on a single point from all directions. Their low-flying silhouettes blotted out the earth, and the gales stirred up by their flapping wings whipped up dust, creating a magnificent spectacle that blocked out the sun.

Above the main body of the Rowan, the number of confirmed Atmospheric Creature is 75, while the number of unconfirmed organisms, based on the number of clouds, is at most four or five.

In other words, there are at most 80 Atmospheric Creature in this area. Although they have a comprehensive advantage in air combat, their numbers are too far outnumbered.

With 80 against 10,000+, Rowan doesn't even need to fight them; he only needs to fight to the death and obtain their bodies to win the battle.

Half an hour later, everyone was in position. These enormous creatures, each over ten meters tall, stood together in groups of tens of thousands, completely surrounding a tiny insect that was only thirty centimeters in size.

After a brief rest, Rowan Wen gave the order, and the tens of thousands of wind Wind God took flight, swooping down on the Atmospheric Creature that were still masquerading as white clouds above.

The Atmospheric Creature may have been dormant before, and were caught off guard by the tens of thousands of Wind God. Before half of the Atmospheric Creature could even fight back, they were torn to pieces by the swarming Wind God.

By observing the multiple contacts of the Swarm Meteor with Atmospheric Creature beforehand, it can be found that although the exact composition of their bodies is unknown, they were still capable of being destroyed.

Being able to be destroyed means being able to be injured, and being able to be injured means being able to be killed. Rowan didn't believe that they were like him, possessing advanced technology like the Swarm Network, so that even if their bodies were killed, it would just be a matter of changing clothes.

Several Wind God opened their mouths and devoured the torn bodies of the Atmospheric Creature. These Atmospheric Creature creatures had extremely low density and were very light in weight; if they hadn't been devoured, they would have simply floated in the air and wouldn't have fallen to the ground.

These wind Wind God are special versions with added Storage Stomach Pouch, allowing them to perfectly preserve the body tissues of the Atmospheric Creature they devour.

On the ground, the Creep behind Rowan split open, revealing a huge underground passage. Rowan was the first to crawl inside; he had achieved his goal and didn't bother to look at the rest.

Meanwhile, within the Swarm Network, another group of hundreds of Intellect and Blade were watching the battle. Whether he watched or not was irrelevant; any new discoveries would be recorded meticulously, leaving nothing out.

Then, the Wind God that had just devoured the body tissues of Atmospheric Creature also landed and entered the passage.

In the sky, the battle intensified, and the awakened Atmospheric Creature displayed formidable combat abilities. They might not be good at pulling rocks, but they were still very effective against a flesh-and-blood creature like the Wind God.

The Wind God fly and perform various maneuvers by flapping their wings and using air currents, making them much more agile than many steel creations.

However, when faced with Atmospheric Creature that were also biological but powered by electromagnetic energy, they were completely outmatched in terms of agility and other aspects.

This is similar to the difference in combat capability between an old-fashioned jet fighter and a fifth-generation high-tech fighter jet; the gap is simply too large.

For example, the speed of the Wind God during gliding is only a little over 100 kilometers per hour. Through continuous acceleration over long distances, they can increase their speed to 500 kilometers per hour, but this speed cannot be sustained.

Atmospheric Creature could easily catch up with Spore Sac meteorite with a dive speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour; this simple data clearly demonstrates the difference.
