Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 186



Only Noblemtl

Ep. 185

I looked down at the dot standing out in the white snow.

Jason, whose calf wound had quickly recovered thanks to the effects of the Black Gallagon’s armor, was looking up at me.

Although he may be considered small compared to the 6m tall golden formation, Jason’s height was objectively difficult to call small. At 2m tall, he was considered quite tall even for a cult male.

‘It means nothing to me.’

Whether it’s 2m or 6m, it doesn’t mean anything to me.

Thanks to the additional use of the special state of ‘Organic Evolution’ called ‘King of Monsters’ while in the Bone Beast state, my body grew to be incredibly large. My body length reached 300m, and the length of my lower jaw easily exceeded several dozen meters.

If you exaggerate a bit, it’s no different from a moving mountain.

‘I didn’t know it would grow this big even though it’s not even an adult.’

There’s no way Jason would know something I didn’t expect, since I know everything about Aimov. He didn’t even notice me with my mouth wide open under his eyes.

Of course, he guessed that I was hiding, so he attacked me with his golden figure. One of his fighting arms was badly injured, but I felt relieved.

‘Originally, it was enough power to blow away a third of my body.’

The fatal attack only managed to injure one arm. And through that attack, I was certain of one thing.

It takes time for the golden shape to change.

It wasn’t a long time, but it didn’t matter. In a fight like this, even that short cooldown could be a fatal weakness.

“What the heck?! I’ve never heard of anything like this!”

Jason, who had been relaxed until just a moment ago, didn’t look that way now. He seemed to have lost his composure at my appearance, which had grown larger than he had imagined.

‘Actually, the situation here isn’t that good either.’

The King of Monsters requires enormous energy to maintain. Even at this moment, the energy within his body is being depleted at an incredible rate.

‘If I hadn’t eaten the Ice Horror, it would have been over soon.’

Thanks to eating a lot of high-energy meat, I have a lot of energy stored up.

Unless you use a high energy consumption trait like God’s Whirlwind, even the King of Monsters should be able to sustain it for 10 minutes.

I slammed my combat arm into the space Jason was standing in. As the combat arm, the size of a small park, fell, the bastard raised both arms in panic.

As my hand collided with the ice, a tremendous amount of wind pressure was generated, kicking away the snow. He was no longer visible beyond the flurry of snow.

‘Where did you go?’

“… This fucking morph-bag!”

As if answering my question, I heard the bastard’s voice from afar. Then, a golden-shaped greatsword flew towards me, aiming for my auxiliary organ.

I raised my other fighting arm to cover my auxiliary organ. The greatsword he had made cut through my forearm.

But since my arm itself was so large, the golden-shaped sword only cut through the shell covering my wrist. Realizing that the attack was shallow, the creature let out a short curse.

“shit!”

Jason was currently wearing a headband that I hadn’t seen before. A cross-shaped headband with a purple glow. It was the ‘Adjuster’ that I got as a reward for completing the 9th stage quest.

‘Let’s just do it now.’

There are a total of 5 extra lives that can be gained through the Coordinator. I’ve used it once so far, so there are 4 left.

I extended my fighting arms to grab the guy. My arms moved to grab him, sweeping the snow off the ground. Just before my hands could grab him, he raised his left hand.

Then my hand started moving on its own, without my will. I guess I was using a combination of gravity control and reflection to push my arm away.

As Jason blocked my attack, the golden shape surrounding him changed shape again.

The particles that made up the shape disintegrated and changed into the form of a beam of light, which then flew up carrying his body.

‘That’s how you got out of the basement.’

I pulled out my erosion tentacles to catch the one trying to get away.

The six erosion tentacles are usually stored in a coiled form inside the hollow carapace. Then, when I want them, they quickly burst out by tearing the thin membrane covering the six holes.

These erosion tentacles are the longest of any body part I have, even without any special effects. Since my entire body has grown to over 10 times its original size, the erosion tentacles have naturally grown to an absurd size as well.

In this blizzard-swept place, six erosion tentacles stretch out along golden rays as if a dragon is ascending to the sky.

The golden beam of light dodged like an aerobatic flight, but how long could he avoid the tentacles pressing in from all directions?

Jason must have had similar thoughts to me as he threw the ‘Purification’ he was holding into the air. The silver stick with a blade made of black fire spun like a windmill and attacked my tentacles.

The Purification is a weapon modeled after a famous sword from classic space opera media. Just as the original is capable of cutting through anything, the Purification is also characterized by extremely powerful attacks.

In fact, the black sword Jason threw was under his control and was cutting through my tentacles quite easily. The only problem was that… .

‘The tentacles are big, so there’s not much damage.’

The thickness of each erosion tentacle alone far surpasses Jason’s height. Even if you attack hard with the purification that stays at the 1m length of the sword, it is not easy to inflict fatal damage.

The current attack is like an ant stabbing a person with a toothpick. Unless you stab a vital point with a toothpick, it is not easy for an ant to kill a person.

Even if the wound is deep, I have the ‘Regenerative Power’ trait. As long as the tentacles are not completely severed, this level of wound will heal quickly.

‘Of course, it consumes a lot of energy.’

As the erosion tentacles cut deeper, the time it took to sustain the King of Monsters decreased, but I didn’t show it.

What I have to do is simple.

Making it look like you’re overwhelming the guy with your massive size.

That is, violence of size. This is the weapon I have prepared.

“Huh!”

Jason decided that attacking with Purification was pointless and took his sword back. The beam of light that had surrounded him reverted to a golden figure hanging from his back.

As I swung my arms while floating in the air with gravity control, the golden shape began to attack.

A shining golden sword was thrust into one of the erosion tentacles, successfully cutting through more than half of it but not completely cutting it off.

It was painful enough to relieve the pain, but I didn’t show it. Instead, I took advantage of the moment when the figure couldn’t move and targeted Jason’s body with other erosion tentacles.

He quickly stretched out his left hand as he saw the erosion tentacles rushing towards him with their appendages spread wide. Reflection activated and he repelled the tentacles.

However, it is by no means easy to shake off all the tentacles that are coming from six directions, each of which is hundreds of meters long. This is no matter how skilled a ranker he is.

“Ugh!”

The sharp appendages of the erosion tentacles slid across the thing’s legs, where my teeth had torn and then healed.

“This kid is real!”

Jason screamed as I kept hitting the same spot. With that, a huge purple whip shot out from his left hand and swatted away my tentacles.

While he was venting his anger by fighting the tentacles, I quickly approached the creature. As the giant, hundreds of meters tall, galloped, the ice beneath him shook and shattered.

I opened my mouth wide in the mist that rose as I moved. My lower jaw split open in two, exposing the teeth packed tightly inside.

‘I’ll swallow it as is.’

If other humans had seen me, they would have trembled at my hideous appearance, like a mouth in the abyss. Jason also let out a short curse as the giant mouth, which was dozens of meters long, closed in.

“Shit!”

As if in response to the bastard’s swearing, the golden figure transformed into a beam of light. Jason narrowly escaped my mouth. The bastard let out a shrill scream as the jaws closed with a bang.

“This crazy kid!”

As soon as I heard his scream, an invisible force came over my neck and head. Gravity control, binding, and several more psychic power techniques were applied to my head and neck.

‘Ugh!’

It’s an incredible power. Regardless of skill, the output of the opponent’s superpower surpasses that of No. 26.

My super reflective gloves were supposed to reflect it, but the bastard was even reflecting it back to me, damaging me.

“Die… Huh?!”

He was about to scream and wring my neck, when suddenly his body stopped moving like a puppet whose strings had snapped. Before I knew it, invisible strings were squeezing his body.

It goes without saying who owns that thread made of highly compressed energy.

“Bad guy! What are you doing to my baby!”

Beyond the growing snow storm, a creature of almost purple pink color is seen.

A notorious enemy in the game and someone who was thought to never be an ally.

And the first friend I made since coming to this world.

It was Sea Demon No. 26.

While No. 26 was exerting all his might to unleash the restraints, a dragon flew up behind him.

“Me” “Cold” “Patience”

The impressive creature with vivid green wings and a long, plump tail was the small Gallagon, Adha. On its back was a water creature with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion.

“You fucking punk, you know how to let it go?”

The Heavenly Mother, in griffon beast mode, growls and releases waves of thought. The two have worked together many times before, so this time they are preparing for a joint attack as well.

Jason’s eyes widened as he saw Gallagon and Wolf approaching at great speed.

“What the heck!”

Purple flames burned from his eyes, and purple energy began to leave his body, transforming into numerous thorns.

An advanced psychic power technique called ‘Morta’ has the effect of nullifying the effects of other psychic powers.

“Huh? It’s solved!”

As the sharp thorns touched the invisible thread, No. 26’s bonds were immediately released.

Jason, now free, quickly twisted his waist to the side. The Heavenly Mother, who was already close enough to touch if he stretched out her hand, swung the priest’s golden spear.

“Tch!”

The blade passed through the creature’s armor just in time for it to pass. The armor on its abdomen cracked, sending fragments of the Black Gallagon’s scales flying into the air.

“How dare you…!”

An enraged Jason roared and swung his arms at the Heavenly Mother. The golden figure in sync with him also transformed his arms into sword form and swung them wildly.

Adhai, carrying the Heavenly Mother, performed amazing aerobatics to dodge the creature’s attacks. Jason watched Adhai’s movements while blocking my erosion tentacles with reflection.

“You cheeky brat!”

“Danger!” “Danger!”

As Jason reached out, Adhai froze as if frozen in midair. He too had used restraints like No. 26.

Taking advantage of the gap, the golden figure swung his sword in a straight line to cut Adhai and the Heavenly Mother in two.

‘Do you think I’ll just leave it like that?’

I opened up all the gliding membranes on my combat arms and swung them vigorously in the direction Jason was hovering.

The result of the three elements—size, weight, and power—was truly terrifying. A strong wind of incredible force blew hard at Jason.

“Ugh?!”

He had no choice but to suffer the natural phenomenon I had created, as I could not even reflect the wind with my reflection.

He closed his eyes as the air rushed out and snow particles hit his face. The golden shape that reacted to vision crumbled into particles just as it was about to cut down Adhai.

“Don’t hit the little one and the middle one!”

The psychic power of No. 26 on the snowfield flowed into Adhai. The power of the two powerful psychics clashed, and the restraints on Adhai were weakened.

“thanks!”

Adhai, freed from his bonds, flapped his wings once and flew away with his characteristic lightning-quick speed, hiding behind me.

“You little punk Morphbak! What the hell were you doing to control Sea Demon and Gallagon!”

Jason opened his eyes and saw the sight, and groaned. He seemed more shocked by the fact that I was moving with the other monsters than by the link.

‘Control?’

He seems to think that I control them with parasites, but that is impossible. Parasites cannot control a large number of people in such a detailed manner.

And I don’t have just three colleagues.

‘There’s still one more left.’

On the ice covered in white snow that falls relentlessly, No. 26 is not the only one. A special friend he brought is waiting, hiding under the snow.

[Zuzu (now!)]

The Screamer, or rather PS-111, who received my signal, jumped out, spraying snow.

PS-111, a spider-like monster with the head of a human woman and four pairs of legs. The thing, which had nothing but a mixture of machinery and flesh, had a new part growing on its buttocks.

It was a tail. It was curved upwards like a scorpion’s tail, but instead of a stinger, there was something else attached to the end of the tail.

The sharp point, like the tip of a harpoon, reminded me of a demolisher.

‘It was a success.’

I secretly gave the guy an order. He was to wander around and absorb the demolishers while I fought and distracted Jason’s men.

The guy who absorbed the Demolisher and created a new weapon activated the weapon he had prepared.

A blue energy bullet flew by, evaporating the falling snow. Its target was right at Jason’s feet.

“!”

He realized it too late and tried to avoid it by twisting his body. But this time, his paralyzed thigh was the problem again.

The demolition force that disintegrated everything engulfed the lower part of his left ankle.

“Keep, keaaaah!”

Jason screamed as his left foot was blown clean off. I slammed my fighting arm into the guy to inflict as much damage as possible while he was panicking.

I could clearly feel my fingertips, but I couldn’t see the thing flying away after being hit.

Soon, far away from us, a purple light flashed and the creature’s body reformed. Its missing ankle also returned to its original state, but it seemed as if it had not forgotten the pain it had just felt.

“I will kill all of you!”

With a roar, a purple line shot out from above the bastard’s head and flew into the sky. I know what that means.

‘Thunderer!’

Like Muriel, he also brought a brainwashing spell.

‘If I write here, I’ll get caught up in it too.’

Even if you dodge with the Coordinator effect, it is impossible to completely avoid the Brain God’s attack range because it is very wide. Jason is a cult ranker, so he should know this better than anyone else here.

‘Either you believe in something or… .’

Or you’ve lost your mind due to anger.

Whatever it was, I think the bastard figured he could kill me with his brain.

If it were a game, his judgment would be correct, but not here. With the King of Monsters and two Bone Beasts, I wouldn’t die even if I was hit directly by the Brain God.

‘But not the kids.’

[Zuzu zuzu (everyone gather together)]

I stretched out my combat arm and picked up No. 26 and PS-111. I was about to fall back, hugging everyone in my small arms to my chest, when Jason rushed at me.

“Where are you going!”

Dozens of psychic techniques he unleashed held my lower body in place.

“Morphack! You’re going to die here!”

Jason’s face was distorted like a demon’s. The golden blade behind him flew towards my carapace.

–

‘… As expected from Morphbak. He’s damn strong.’

Jason clicked his tongue inwardly.

He knew full well that the bastard was notorious for his devilish skills, but he didn’t know that he could fight this well in real life.

Of all the rankers he killed, none was as annoying as Morphbak.

‘Damn it. I should’ve just waited for Gallagon.’

Even though Coldblood Ranker was no pushover when it came to strength, he had helpers at the time. Thanks to Chloe and Cynthia, he was able to win without much difficulty.

In fact, if Black Gallagon had been present in this fight, Morphbak would already be dead.

‘Tch, I didn’t expect you to have colleagues.’

Even Akira, who knows Morphbak the best among his group mates, can confidently say that he will go alone. Jason has also fought Morphbak several times, so he knows what kind of personality he has.

In the game, he was a complete loner. He didn’t communicate with anyone, let alone cooperate.

To Aimov, who wanted to devour all life, all beings were enemies.

No wonder there was even talk in the community that the guy was an AI created by the developer.

That’s why Jason was shocked to see that the thing was dragging NPCs around. It was unclear whether they were slaves controlled by parasites or if it was a special effect the thing had.

‘If we can’t finish it with this attack, we’ll have to retreat.’

It’s a very shameful conclusion, but there’s no other way. Today, I have no choice but to be satisfied with getting information about the bastard.

“Die! Die!”

Unlike his cold, calm inner self, he screams as if he is consumed by rage. His appearance of going crazy was an act.

There was no way to keep the target from growing so large.

‘I can get out anyway.’

The third perk he got. The ability he got by catching the Metallic Gremlin Ranker could easily get him out of this place.

While the battle between the monsters and Jason continued, the Brain God finished all the preparations.

‘Kill me!’

“asleep!”

The moment Jason’s insides and outs became one and he shouted, yellow flames fell from the sky.

A transcendent power created by an orbital weapon called Brain God.

Before the sacred fire, which could be called a manifestation of the will of God, Aimov tried to rebel. Just as the demon imitated and blasphemed the power of God, yellow flames poured out from his mouth as well.

The power of the two gods of thunder shook the sky. Psychic manifestations in the form of snow, ice, and thunder. The dance of the gods of thunder created by matter and power was truly magnificent.

It was such an awe-inspiring sight that even Jason Jorja, who had expected it, was amazed. He lost his mind for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.

‘As expected, it’s weak!’

Compared to the attacks he fired when fighting the Imperial Carrier, the attacks he fired now were definitely weaker. It was as if he was lacking in energy output.

‘Yeah. Double giantization and the power of the brain god. It’d be hard to use both.’

When the thing grew to the size of a mountain, Jason thought, if it kept growing like that, the amount of energy it would consume from its body would be extreme.

His prediction was correct. He could see cracks appearing in the armor of the guy who was channeling the power of the brain god.

As a result of the double gigantism, its armor has become terrifyingly thick, but it has now reached its limit.

‘The opportunity is now!’

As Jason focused, the golden figure began to shrink, but the sword part of the thing continued to grow infinitely.

After a moment, the golden shape disappeared, leaving only a huge mass of light covering Jason’s body.

Jason, who had transformed his golden form into the beam of light he had been using for evasion until now, reset his target.

It was a kind of trick that he only used for evasion. The golden shape in the form of a beam of light is one of the most powerful offensive weapons he possesses.

‘My body is turning into a bullet.’

Aimorph’s shell is beginning to break and shrink. The lightning bolts fired by the Brain God are also rapidly losing their power.

‘Just a little more… now!’

The moment the light of the brain god went out, Jason gave a command to the golden figure.

Fly forward and smash the bastard’s head.

The moment he thought that, his body was no longer on the snowfield. The pitch-black blood that covered the entire golden figure was instantly absorbed by the particles.

He turned his head and looked back.

What was there was a giant monster with a huge hole in its neck. Even then, the thing dodged his attacks, so it was the neck that was pierced instead of the head.

Of course, that doesn’t change the fact that the wound he sustained was fatal.

The monster’s body slowly collapsed like a kite with a broken string.
