Metavores were not traditional monsters. They were nothing like the famous monsters in Isaac's previous world.
They were parasites.
They were smaller than grains of dust, capable of latching onto even the tiniest components of machinery.
From there, they would spread.
Their kind operated through a shared hivemind, constantly relaying data among each other.
The more machines they consumed, the smarter they became. Each bit of metal, every circuit, was analyzed and assimilated into their ever-growing knowledge base.
Isaac sat still in his chair.
The briefing led by General Magnus was underway.
Dozens of powerhouses were seated in the hall.
Some of them had their own pad or hologram displaying the footage of the Metavore Brood seen near the stronghold.
Once a machine was consumed, the Metavores used its energy and design to fabricate new components, combining them with their own bio-engineered parts to form synthetic structures.
