Z-X9

Z-X9 was the successor of Z-29, developed during the War for the Chronicle Timeline by the Titan Regime, and only seen during the attack of the Negative Reality Driver.

Capabilities
Z-X9 is a semi-sentient viral bioweapon very similar to its predecessor, Z-29, although it is far deadlier and far faster. While Z-29 usually takes about two months to overrun an Old-Earth level planet, Z-X9 can do so in one month. However, if spewed out in initially massive quantaties rather than in a single host, Z-X9 can overrun a planet in the span of two hours. Unlike Z-29, Z-X9 can break down and absorb metals and other inorganic materials, even forms of energy, although heavy fire and other counterattacks cannot be easily absorbed. Z-X9 rarely does so, but can also reanimate corpses, usually covering them in biomass, making them into mutated monsters known as Uber-Bleeders. Uber-Bleeders, while also animal-like, are considerably more intelligent, and far stronger. Z-X9 also has the ability to condense its form into that of black mist and light, which it can use to travel through air and space, although it can only do this if it has eaten Magic or other forms of Celestial Energy. If Z-X9 goes without food for more than two months, it will naturally break down, often leaving only debris in its place.

Background
Z-X9 was produced by the Titan Regime, and created within the resurfaced Negative Reality Driver, as the absorbant properties of the virus came from the Negative Energy stores of the Driver. Z-X9 was used to destory worlds around the Driver, but did not last long once the Driver left.
