Chapter 85
But that large expanse of white clearly violated this rule.
And it was extremely fast, so fast that it only took the time it took for the group of Siracusa people to be stunned.
The vast, white swarm of Sea Creatures crashed directly into them.
Only then did the group of Siracusa people realize that what appeared to be a vast expanse of white was actually tens of thousands of beautiful young girls with white hair, red eyes, small flowers on their heads, and wearing youthful and pretty dresses.
However, their behavior is far from what one would associate with the term "beautiful girl".
The Sea Creatures not only densely surrounded the entire interstellar warship, but their beautiful and delicate little faces were also pressed against the ship's portholes, staring intently at them.
"Wait! This is Sea Creatures!"
Finally, someone realized what was happening and shouted, "It's us! We all believe in the Lord God!"
But unfortunately.
Putting aside whether Sea Creatures could hear them or not, even if he could, he wouldn't recognize them.
After all, Sea Creatures's thought process is very simple—
[Sea Creatures 1: "What is this?"]
[Sea Creatures 2: "Canned food?"]
[Sea Creatures 3: "A ready-to-eat buffet?"]
[Sea Creatures 4: "Thank you for the gift, my Lord God!"]
[Sea Creatures 5: "Sisters, I'm going to start!"]
In the Hive Cluster Mind (Sea Creatures version), this group of Sea Creatures reached a consensus after a simple exchange.
So one second, these girls were Sea Creatures glamorous and beautiful, but the next second, they all opened their mouths.
Its mouthful of sharp teeth, like chainsaws, gnawed at the hull of the interstellar warship.
Since it's canned food, why can't we eat the outer metal shell? It's quite flavorful with all that juice on it.
The Sea Creatures weren't trying to scare people; they simply... well, they just wanted to devour the interstellar warship as well.
But the group of Siracusa on the starship were terrified.
Not only did the beautiful girl instantly transform into a monster with plummeting sanity, but also—
A click.
The porthole cracked instantly.
But it only cracked.
Because the instant the interstellar warship was damaged, an invisible barrier enveloped the entire warship.
Furthermore, that barrier directly repelled the Great Swarm of Sea Creatures.
Sea Creatures was completely stunned.
[Sea Creatures 1: Huh? How did I fly?]
[Sea Creatures 2: Did the food hit someone?]
[Sea Creatures 3: This can of food is so hard...]
[Sea Creatures 4: Do we want to eat more?]
[Sea Creatures 5: Eat!]
[Lord God: That's why I told you all not to put everything in your mouth!]
[Sea Creatures 6: It's Lord God!]
[Sea Creatures 7: My Lord God! I'm hungry, I need to eat!]
Chen Ran's speech in the Hive Cluster Mind (Sea Creatures version) immediately excited the Sea Creatures the Great Swarm.
However, Chen Ran glanced at the HP-1 interstellar warship and the shield that had only been activated now...
"Alright, this tin can... oh wait, this starship isn't for you to eat."
Chen Ran sighed softly and said, "Even if you don't know the Siracusa people, you must know Yal, right?"
[Sea Creatures 1: Yal?]
[Sea Creatures 2: Who is it?]
[Sea Creatures 3: Ah... I recognize this face...]
A nearby Sea Creatures saw Yal comforting everyone through the porthole.
The Sea Creatures recognized Yal, no, to be precise, they recognized Yelagund.
Yelagund once came to them and said that some of the Sea Creatures were her children.
The Sea Creatures used its Hive Cluster Mind to transmit the message to all the Sea Creatures the Great Swarm the colony.
Then, some of the Sea Creatures clearly showed signs of guilt.
The Sea Creatures, like children who had done something wrong, frantically floated to the starship, tore off pieces of their flesh, and pasted them onto the starship, filling the cracks in the portholes that they had bitten open.
Will this cause a second psychological trauma to those Siracusa people...? I don't know.
Instead, the Sea Creatures, who were trying to salvage the situation after the fact, all looked aggrieved, as if they were afraid that Chen Ran would get angry and stop feeding them.
This amused Chen Ran, who eventually waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, go back now. Remember not to put everything in your mouth in the future."
[Sea Creatures 1: Yes, my Lord God...]
[Sea Creatures 2: Goodbye, My Lord God...]
[Sea Creatures 3: That Lord God... will I still be able to eat after I go back?]
"Okay, go ahead and eat."
[Sea Creatures 4: Yay!]
Watching the swarm of Sea Creatures rush back to the Food Planet, Chen Ran turned his head and looked at the interstellar warship.
By this time, Yal had already calmed everyone down.
However, thanks to this, the group of Siracusa people finally lost their initial playful mood.
But they didn't act like they'd lost their minds and insist on going back.
Instead, after adjusting his mindset, he said with a serious expression:
"Has Sea Creatures been persuaded to return by the Lord God?"
"And what about us?"
"Yal, has the Lord God given us any tasks?"
Clearly, the Siracusa people seemed to have misunderstood something.
It's like saying, "Only those who are useful to the Lord God are qualified to live."
But before Yal could speak—
But they saw that the planets that had been rotating regularly in the vast starry sky had changed positions.
As if manipulated by hand, several planets were arranged into the shape of an arrow, pointing directly at the distant 'mining planet'.
