UUUUUUUU-WOOOOOOOONG!
A sound so deep and heavy that it made everyone’s back teeth vibrate echoed across the vacuum of space through pure gravitational waves.
Out of the tearing black spatial rift five hundred miles ahead swam twelve Rank 8 Early Void Whales.
Even from that distance, they did not look like animals—they looked like twelve floating mountain ranges that had grown fins and tails! The lead Void Whale was a hundred and twenty miles long from its scarred, flat nose to the tip of its notched tail fin. Wrecks of ancient iron warships, bent dreadnought anchors, and jagged asteroid boulders were stuck all over its thick gray hide like burrs on a sheepdog’s coat.
When the lead Void Whale opened its jaws, the inside of its mouth looked like a pitch-black wormhole wide enough to swallow three capital cities side by side!
“Battle stations! All hands to battle stations!” General Tie Zhan roared, tossing the last bite of his steamed pork bun into his mouth and drawing his hundred-foot black-iron halberd. “Tug-ships, fall back behind the locomotive! Artillery cars, load the Six-Barrel Fireball Cannons! Ye Guhan, get ready to slice that lead monster’s tongue if it tries to bite the front bumper!”
