They waited a while, but nothing rushed out of the pit . And gradually, the sounds of explosions became less and less frequent .
As everyone was still staring in confusion, their eyes drifted to the side of the pit . A small white paw with metal claws had risen just over the edge . The claws looked ferociously sharp, but the paw was only the size of a baby’s hand, though .
The small paw felt around for a grip on some surface . When it grasped the ground and started hauling itself up, a white metal face became visible . Its eyes were circular, and the skin looked like the skin of a lotus .
When it emerged fully from the pit, everyone was able to get a good look at it . The little white beast looked sort of similar to a pangolin . With the tail included, it probably wasn’t more than a meter long . Compared to the metal statues around it, the white metal beast looked like an ant .
After the little beast pulled itself onto the surface, its chubby body waddled toward them . It was not fast, though . And its tail and its butt shook like a baby’s bottom .
Han Sen looked at the beast with visible confusion . It might have looked like a pangolin, but it wasn’t exactly like a pangolin . Han Sen thought of a creature that looked even more similar to it .
“Metal Eater!” Han Sen remembered the Metal Eater he once adopted . This creature was a little smaller than the Metal Eater he had befriended, but other than that, it looked incredibly similar .
“Considering that this planet is formed wholly of metal, this might indeed be a Metal Eater . But that being said, its size suggests that it is a baby . Perhaps there is an adult one hiding in the cave?” Han Sen thought with worry .

Although this creature might not have been the exact same species as the one Han Sen had encountered in the sanctuaries, it was definitely the same type . The metal critter seemed quite confident as it waddled its way toward the feet of one of the metal statues .
“Grab it!” Klinsmann barked to his fellow metal statues . He was thinking similar thoughts to Han Sen . If the beast was the child of something far more dangerous lurking elsewhere, he wanted to capture it immediately . Doing so might prove useful .
The Destroyed that controlled the nearest metal statue heard Klinsmann’s order . He immediately moved the statue to pick up the little beast .
That beast was small and slow . The giant statue looked like it would have difficulty picking up the little creature without pulverizing it . As the enormous hand came down to grab the creature, it stared up at the hand helplessly .
But before the big hand landed, the critter opened its mouth . At that moment, everyone’s eyes opened wide . Even Han Sen’s . He had seen many scary creatures in his lifetime, and he had seen many animals devour others, but he had never seen a creature behave like this .
The little thing was so small, but when it opened its mouth, the head became extremely large . The entire creature turned into a gigantic metal mouth . Its throat looked like a dark abyss . The statue was a few hundred meters tall, but the tiny creature ate the statue in a single bite .
The sight was incredibly disturbing . It was more shocking than an ant eating an elephant .
But it happened, with no applause or fanfare . That metal statue vanished into the mouth, taking its Destroyed pilot along with it .

One bite . It was just one bite .
The little metal fiend swallowed and burped happily, and nasty chills started to run down the spines of everyone assembled there . Even the Destroyed that were controlling the metal statues for Klinsmann were rattled .
The little beast licked its lips with a long tongue, then looked at another of the metal statues that were near it . It jumped forward .
“Kill it!” Klinsmann shouted . He controlled a statue with three-heads and six-arms, and he used it to unleash three different lights to attack the metal fiend . The other metal statues also moved to attack the creature . Waves of fire and ice came shooting out of the metal statues to repel the beast .
The little creature’s body was suddenly wrapped up in a transparent shield . The shield intercepted the oncoming attacks and completely nullified them . They didn’t even rattle the transparent shield . In a flurry of sparks, their attempted attacks fizzled away .
“Metal Eater… It is a Metal Eater…” When Han Sen saw that shield, he received the final confirmation he needed that this creature was a Metal Eater . The powers they possessed were way too similar .
The Metal Eaters from the sanctuary could produce shields just like that . While the shield of Han Sen’s Metal Eater had been much weaker, the similarities between the two were obvious .
Katcha!

The little beast ran toward the nearest metal statue, and its originally amusing waddle had now become quite sinister . Again, it opened its mouth and swallowed the entire metal statue before the Destroyed inside had a chance to flee .
It was difficult to imagine how a beast so small could swallow a metal statue that was the size of a mountain .
All the Marquises watched in terror . The metal statues had King class strength, but they were getting swallowed one at a time . Despite the critter’s small stature, it had to be deified .
“Run!” Han Sen shouted as he switched off his Bai Sema . All the Marquises rushed to escape the city .
In front of a creature like that, the Marquises didn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell . Their only option was to run .
Few humans would pay enough attention to kill an ant deliberately . Hopefully, the beast was only interested in the Breaksky doll, not smaller creatures . It was the Marquises’ only chance of getting away .
Han Sen kept running, looking over his shoulder as he went . The little beast’s body was protected by its shield again . It was traveling between the metal statues .
The statues disappeared one-after-another . It made Han Sen think, “One bite, one child . ”
Although those metal statues were as big as mountains, before the metallic creature, they were like children . One bite really was enough to end any of them .
Han Sen was merely hoping that the metal beast was not interested in beings as small and weak as the members of his team . If it did have a taste for them, it was game over . Their only hope was that the Metal Eater would stay occupied with the statues .
Klinsmann and the others were in shock . They had now realized that what Han Sen had said was true . The deified Breaksky might really have been afraid of this being .
If it was able to scare off a deified elite, who knew what abilities the little creature truly held?
Without hesitation, Klinsmann turned around and started to run away . He also called on the Destroyed to do the same . But it was too late . The little critter-one bite, one child—didn’t take long to finish up the rest of the statues .
