The battle at this United Systems bastion isn't just being watched by the belligerents.

The young civilizations of the galaxy are also observing this battle, and the war here will determine their actual strategy.

The "Cordyceps Disease" that was thought to be effectively contained has brought greater harm. No one thought that those ancient "mythical creatures" in space would actually become part of the "Cordyceps Disease".

"That's the Space Whale Clan Mother, and..." The commander of the combined fleet who was commanding this battle finally showed a desperate expression at this moment.

In addition to the clan mother who leads the way, more and more huge "mythical creatures" appear from the dark void.

Some of them have been documented by the Milky Way, but the vast majority are creatures that have never been discovered.

Only then did the galactic civilizations understand that there were still so many mysterious space beasts in the galaxy.

All civilizations, including the Fire Alliance, feel solemn about this. Just here, so many space behemoths infected with "Cordyceps Disease" can gather.

This "mythical creature" has the ability to rival an entire fleet, so how many will they have to face by then?

"Among the 'mythical creatures' currently appearing here, the ones that have been recorded include the Space Whale Clan Mother and the Split Claw Dragon..."

A scientist from the Fire Alliance looked at the scene that was interrupted from time to time due to unknown influences, and kept flipping through their files.

The Space Whale Clan Mother has many records of encounters in the galaxy, and the information about it is also the most detailed, making it easy to recognize it at a glance.

The Splitclaw Dragon has only one recorded encounter, and the scientist who discovered it unfortunately died in the mouth of this space beast.

However, the information related to it was still recorded and was quickly found by scientists from the Fire Alliance.

This "mythical creature" originated from an archaeological relic. The civilization responsible for the excavation at that time finally discovered the planet that the relic pointed to after a long period of hard work and inspection of several related galaxies.

The civilization at that time thought that their efforts were about to reap rewards, but just when they were about to open the ruins, the "Split Claw Dragon" appeared out of thin air in that galaxy and destroyed that civilization's archaeological spacecraft.

This disaster from the sky made the galaxy aware of the existence of this "mythical creature", although there have always been civilizations that had thoughts about this "Split Claw Dragon" and the ruins there that were still in the final step.

But due to various reasons, they failed to organize a decent force to destroy this space beast.

Now, the split-claw dragon that had never had time to deal with it became one of the machetes swinging at them. It was strengthened by "Cordyceps Disease" and now became even more terrifying.

From time to time, disgusting hyphae protrude from the rotting flesh, swaying in the universe. Under the huge dragon body, there is a strange blue light spreading.

A strange beam of light erupted from the mouth of the Crackclaw Dragon, destroying the fleet it swept like a dragon's breath. The shields and armor were dissolved in the incomprehensible biological energy, making people unable to help but worship it.

"...these two 'mythical creatures' have been recorded by us. Even if they were modified by the 'Cordyceps Disease', they are basically the same as the descriptions in the documents,"

"But... what are those other 'things'?"

More than one person had the same question as this Fire Alliance scientist, because this was the first time they saw the remaining "creatures".

Those that follow the space behemoths are a kind of "moving planet".

At first observers thought they were mistaken and thought it was a drifting planet.

But through the detection of signal fluctuations and gravitational anomalies, they confirmed that those planets can also be regarded as some kind of biological weapons.

These planets may have been habitable stars before they were alive, but now they are infected by a terrifying number of fungi, starting from the surface and reaching the core of the planet.

Land masses are constantly cracking due to fungal activity, causing the rock surface to be thrown into space due to huge stress.

But at the moment the rock formation detached, the mycelium buried deep in the ground pulled the rock formation back like tentacles and then stuck it back together.

On a seemingly uninhabited planet, a huge number of biological signals can be detected.

Because it was so powerful, observers even thought that other "mythical creatures" had come here.

When everyone was still wondering what this strange planet could do, they saw that the disgusting mycelium on the surface of the planet began to gather and tangle, and soon formed something similar to the roots of a tree.

Those "mycelium rhizomes" began to grow longer and longer, breaking through the thin atmosphere and enveloping the corpses of broken space creatures that were approaching due to gravity.

Then everyone understood what this kind of planet was for.

I saw that the "Cordyceps organisms" that had been inactive due to various attacks showed signs of activity again under the wrapping of mycelium, and once again made an attacking posture.

The efficiency of this kind of "repair" has exceeded imagination. Even if 80% of the body is missing, only a pile of minced meat can be seen, and even the original body is unrecognizable. It has been sewn and repaired for a period of time.

He gained combat effectiveness through supplementation.

Even if these corpses can be considered fungal organisms based on their physical components, as long as they still have usable organs, they can become the targets of fungal "resurrection".

Most of the corpses that had been confirmed to be dead before returned to the battlefield, and only those parts that were completely destroyed disappeared forever in the sea of ​​​​stars.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the fleet stationed here.

Originally, their battle loss ratio could barely reach 1 to 1.5 or even 1 to 2, but now that those corpses regarded as "head count" stood in front of them again, their battle loss ratio reached a terrifying 5 to 1 ratio.

1.

They need the saturation firepower of several warships to completely destroy a "corpse", but those corpses that cannot be completely destroyed will soon stand in front of them with another appearance.

The battle lines are retreating, and virus missiles regarded as "fungus nemesis" are also difficult to work.

Although the virus in this missile can indeed effectively interrupt the activity of fungi, the toxins can be easily decomposed under planet-level purification.

The commander here is still working hard to prevent the defeat of the front, but this is only a matter of time. Soon he himself will have to get on a special plane and leave here.

Obviously, this battle that was supposed to be a great victory against "Cordyceps" has gone down the road of failure.

"Perhaps... this strange 'fungal planet' is the root cause of the 'Cordyceps disease'. If we can completely destroy this kind of planet, then we may be able to end this crisis."

"...It's difficult. These planets are capable of interstellar movement due to unknown biological activities, and the mycelium inside is deeply rooted, which means that it is basically impossible for us to completely destroy them through simple orbital bombing."

"But at least we have new information and our focus can shift to this aspect."

"The naming of 'Fungal Planet' is too arbitrary. As an object that needs to be focused on, we have to give it a new name to emphasize that this is the focus of 'Galactic Crisis'."

In the "Galaxy Community", the remaining young civilizations who were still fiercely fighting this crisis quickly passed the shift in the focus of the galaxy.

This is a critical moment, and among the proposals in parliament, there are only things related to resolving the crisis.

"Galaxy Focus: Fungus Control; Goal: Destroy all 'Graveyard Planets'."

"Graveyard planet" is the special name given by these young civilizations to that kind of strange active planet. It is an enemy that only exists in this crisis.

This kind of planet is like a cemetery, and it seems to be able to give birth to endless "space undead" characteristics, which gives them this name.
