Song Chen offered no further explanation. He cut the comms, switched the Shadow Bee to autopilot follow mode, then ejected from the cockpit.
Dark gray Silver Radiance Battle Armor covered his entire body, and the Falling Star Blade was already in his hand.
In the void, the colossal warship's shadow blotted out everything. The distant purple planet rotated slowly below, while the warship's descent accelerated.
He flew straight toward the breach in the warship's side.
Beyond the breach lay a broad corridor, wide enough for several small shuttles to fly abreast.
Blood-Eclipse Organisms had completely overrun it.
The moment Song Chen flew inside, he saw Blood-Eclipse forms even more astonishing than those on KG-11.
These had to be the Blood-Eclipse Civilization's true elite troops. Ordinary small blood masses were almost nowhere to be seen, replaced by all manner of highly specialized combat forms.
One was a slender Leaping Form, with sharp bone blades at the ends of its limbs. It moved by launching itself between the walls and ceiling in instantaneous bursts, its speed incredible.
Another was a Fortress Form covered in heavy carapace, its enormous body like a mobile steel fortress. Crystals reflecting a cold gleam studded its surface, and it was attacking structures on the ceiling with the large tentacles mounted on its back.
There was also a flying form he could not name. Its lower body was a cloud of floating blood mist, while its upper body was a twisted humanoid torso with nothing on its face but an enormous mouth.
That mouth constantly spat dark red acid projectiles. Every shot that struck a wall corroded a crater several meters across.
Blood-Eclipse Lifeforms packed the entire corridor, numbering at least tens of thousands, and every single one radiated an aura of at least Peak Sixth Rank.
