Who attacks a meteor?

Meanwhile, Carter had just sensed the spacecraft. "Bingo," he said with a smirk. After such a long search, he had finally found life. "System, I found an odd spaceship. Can you tell me what it is?"

[SYSTEM] The host has located one of the 13 cosmic prisons in this universe. Destroying it would provide the host with thousands of powerful alien equations. It is highly recommended that the host collide and destroy the X3X facility.

Carter's grin widened. "I was feeling bad about taking too much innocent life, but to my luck, there's something like this out here in space." Without hesitation, Carter sped toward the prison, and in less than a second, he collided with X3X.

The impact was massive, sending debris spiraling out in all directions. Almost immediately, Carter's system began flooding him with notifications.

[NOTICE] Xyldra species equation obtained.

Tarnok species equation obtained.

Vekkrol species equation obtained.

Nytherix species equation obtained.

Ozilath species equation obtained...

Then, abruptly, something strange happened. The system appeared to glitch for a moment, the stream of new species equations halting.

[SYSTEM] Danger is nearby.

Carter didn't need the system to tell him that. He could already sense it—something was wrong. His vision blurred slightly, and when it cleared, he saw... a shadow. A colossal shadow with massive, writhing tentacles emerging from its dark mass, floating ominously in space.

"What in the hell..." Carter muttered, trying to wrap his head around the sheer size of the creature. It seemed to blot out the stars, an eerie silhouette of unimaginable proportions.

Without warning, a massive tentacle lashed out toward him, tearing through the space between them. Carter vibrated violently, and he barely had time to react as the tentacle missed him by mere miles, the force alone shaking him to his core.

"What the hell is that?" Carter's voice was sharp with alarm.

[SYSTEM]

The host has encountered a planetary extinction-level alien known as a Shadrax. They are extremely rare beings, with approximately two existing per galaxy. This one measures over 20,000 feet, twice the size of the host. Shadraxes are known for their powerful tentacles, rapid regeneration, and speeds that match the current host.
