Void Meteor/Cell!
He had seen videos and images of planets affected by void creatures. All of them without exceptions appeared to be devoided of life.
That's because the void creatures absorb all elements and laws around them...Literally.
Air, gravity, earth, plant, water, moisture, heat, and everything that makes a planet look warm and habitable.
If Felix had to guess, this planet was at its last stretch since air and gravity were one the last elements absorbed by the void creatures.
"Some of you might already have guessed our location." The same middle-aged man appeared in front of everyone and sighed, "This is a real simulation of planet Devorra that was lost to the void abominations last decade."
Some of the recruits' expressions turned hateful and nasty at the sound of that.
When it came to a common enemy that everyone in the universe hates, void creatures were number one.
"I love the reactions but let's see if you will keep them when you see this." The middle-aged man chuckled bitterly as he snapped his finger.
The moment he did so, the sky got dimmer and dimmer until the recruits could barely see each other.
They all lifted their heads and were spooked at the harrowing sight before them. A massive dark purplish cloud was falling towards them like a meteor!
Those with better visions couldn't help but take a step back fearfully as they stared at the thousands of void creatures merged together like a big jelly slop.
Because they were in the UVR, no one was spooked enough to run away like a coward. However, they were still terrified by the mere implication that this could happen in real life.
Just as the army of void creatures reached a hundred meters above them, the middle-aged man froze their descent.
This cast a massive shadow above them. Still, everyone's hearts were beating out of their chests at the nightmarish image of those void creatures.
Some of them had multiple heads, some had only a big mouth in their neck, and some appeared to have limbs protruding from the sides of their heads.
Due to their massive numbers, they couldn't get any creepier.
"We call this Void Meteor or a Minor Void Cell." The Middle-aged man enlightened the recruits, "It's when the fleets in space had failed to exterminate a major void cell in space in one go. The minor cells that had survived, they enter the planet's atmosphere."
"Our job as mercs is to clear them out from the planet before they start doing serious damage to it."
Most recruits knew about this since it was only common sense to do extensive research like Felix before attempting to hunt those abominations.
Still, researching was one thing, and seeing it with their own eyes was another.
No one asked why the fleets in space couldn't just send spaceships below to take care of those escapees' cells.
Because they knew that the moment the cell touch the ground, they penetrate through its crust and move underground by absorbing anything that intercept their path.
Because they merged like a giant big slop, their speed while doing so was extremely efficient than a single void creature doing it on his own.
After the escapees' cell dive deep enough and outside the radars of spaceships, they split into hundreds of smaller parts.
Then, those parts spread into different directions and emerge in hundreds of locations on the planet.
After they reach the surface, the void creatures split from each other until the cell ceases to exist.
