Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 205



Only Noblemtl

Ep. 204

The cult cruiser landed on the forest floor quite a distance from the nest I had set up. The ground around the nest was not very good.

After landing, the eight survivors were sent out of the situation room to sort out the bodies strewn about.

I put my erosion tentacles inside the situation room and sucked up the corpses one by one. Then I discovered something strange.

‘There is no knowledge manager?’

The Knowledge Manager is the key officer and chief engineer of a Cult ship.

As a species that uses psychic powers, the Cult can transmit records and information stored on computers to individuals. Therefore, the Cult does not have a central information processing organization like Megacorp’s data archive or Star Union’s Starlink database. Perhaps the Prophet’s Council, one of the three major power organizations of the Empire, can be seen as playing a similar role.

Anyway, the knowledge managers on board the ship are the ones who mainly acquire various information necessary for navigation, such as battles, routes, ship structures, and trends of the empire and other forces.

While other factions rely heavily on the performance of their ship’s computers, the Cult’s are different in that their computers and knowledge managers work together to aid navigation.

‘As far as I know, a cruiser always has a knowledge manager.’

It is not usually boarded on patrol ships, but it is boarded on medium and large warships such as destroyers and larger.

However, the knowledge manager was missing from the corpses lying in the situation room.

[Zuz …

“Huh? I subdued it with the Ice Demon earlier. It should be in the situation room.”

The Heavenly Mother answered my question with a wave I shot. She is currently in another area of ​​the ship, looking for equipment that could be taken as loot. After hearing her answer, I searched the bodies again, but still couldn’t find anything.

Knowledge managers look exactly like regular cult members, but they wear a special badge on their clothes. It is a badge shaped like the cult’s eye, and is often called the Illuminati in the community.

‘Is it because the bodies are mixed up? I can’t find it.’

As I was going through the clothes of each corpse, PS-111, who was hovering around the computer, asked me.

“What are you looking for?”

[Zuzuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu (corpse wearing an eye-shaped badge)]

“I ate that corpse before ‘Aimoph’ came.”

[Zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzu (You ate it? When?)]

“‘Middle Baby’ was working on the computer. I didn’t realize it was an important subject. I’m sorry.”

PS-111 bowed and apologized.

‘Why is that guy, who doesn’t usually do that?’

He’s always talking about energy replenishment, but he’s never touched the food first. It’s true that he’s a special individual, but he’s still under machine control. I think he’s unlikely to make a mistake.

Moreover, as always, it was a monotonous female voice mixed with mechanical sounds, but it felt subtly different.

‘hmm.’

I looked at the guy. There was no change in the face of PS-111, a being that was half machine. But his voice and his expressionless face felt different.

If I had to describe the feeling that permeated the surface of my pure white face… .

‘Is it a feeling?’

He had previously shown a sullen expression when he was scolded by No. 26. At that time, it felt more like an artificial expression that the machine made to fit a specific situation.

But now he looked much more human.

‘A human machine.’

As this guy is a new Screamer model and a commander-level entity, he has relatively high autonomy. Therefore, it is unclear whether this change is due to his design or whether he is transforming into a new entity.

‘This is similar to number 26.’

I had similar concerns when I first met him. At that time, I decided to watch him, and that decision ended up being a great help to me.

‘Let’s wait a little longer.’

If you’re going to fool me, there are better ways to do it than by fooling me awkwardly like this. If you haven’t, then I guess you don’t mean to harm me.

After thinking about it for a moment, I decided to overlook PS-111’s ‘mistake’.

[Zuz …

“thank you.”

The knowledge manager finished it off and went back to devouring the corpses with his erosion tentacles. Soon after, I cleaned up all the corpses and came out of the cruiser with PS-111.

“The big kid and his friend came out.”

“What’s taking so long?”

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (I have something to do)]

When I came out, Heavenly Mother and No. 26 were waiting for us.

The Heavenly Mother attached a string to the Demolisher and hung it on her right shoulder, and wore the Champion Shield on her left wrist. She had a similar appearance to the Temple Guardians, but did not wear the Dragon Scale Uniform.

Wolf cannot wear normal armor except for special material equipment. This is because of Wolf’s ability to transform. When he transforms, his body becomes twice as large and his body shape changes, so normal clothes will be ruined in an instant.

Number 26 next to him was carrying a backpack full of loot with his tentacles.

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (Then let’s go back to the nest)]

“Are you flapping your wings?”

[Yeah]

“ha….”

It was No. 26 who always loved flying. When I lay down and lowered my body, the guy jumped up and got on my back. The mother of the sky, who did not enjoy flying despite her name, sighed and followed No. 26.

I flew into the sky carrying PS-111.

‘Let’s take a short rest in the nest and then go catch some new food.’

Now that my existence is known, a fight with Gallagon is not far off. Any group will try to exclude me regardless.

The Black Gallagons who banished Adhai will not be happy about a new competitor. Ham Ort, who I have met before, will not rush in because he has a promise, but that does not mean I can be at ease. He may be more wary because he thinks I am after Adhai.

‘I originally planned to prepare more, but I couldn’t help it.’

The Gallagon horde is as difficult of an enemy as the player. I was planning to get 10+ Apex traits and clear them, but I’ll have to change my plans.

‘Let’s just take care of Shark Bear and that guy first.’

A creature that never comes down to earth after being born.

A noble being called the whale of the universe.

I’m talking about Skywhale.

–

“The Master of the Red Forest” “Dead?”

When the Queen of Pure White asked about the unbelievable news, the White Gallagon nodded.

Why would the king, who had been alive and well until recently, suddenly die? Ham Ort could not understand this situation.

“Odd Grad” “Did you kill him?”

“Nel Germa” “Uncleanness” “King” “Already” “Death”

I asked just in case, but it wasn’t true.

“Corpse” “Bring”

All that the white female Nel Germa held out was a fragment of a wing left behind by the master of the red forest. Ham Ort barely managed to suppress a sigh when he saw that.

This little piece doesn’t mean much. It just means that we need to find another Red King somewhere on this planet.

“Ham Ort” “Name” “The New Red Forest Master” “Search”

“Nel Germa” “Opposition” “Fellow People” “Tiredness” “Rest” “Necessity”

It was unthinkable for a young child to object to her leader. Nel Germa was one of the most obedient of her kind. For her to object meant that the situation was not good.

Besides, Ham Ort rebelled because he didn’t like Odd Grad’s oppression of his own people. If she were to forcefully give orders here, he would be just like Odd Grad.

“Ham Ort” “Modify” “Nel Germa” “Dongjok” “Rest in Peace”

“Thank you”

Ham Ort, who had sent Nel Germa back, quickly thought about it.

There isn’t much time left for her now. For now, the cruel black dragon is just letting her be and doing her bidding, but no one knows how long that will last.

If Odd Grad steps forward now, many of her people will die, even if she sacrifices her life.

So before that, we must make the daughter of the meteor a savior as quickly as possible. Ham Ort entered the nest with the wing fragment.

In the large cave, a small creature was lying.

A species with impressive scales the color of grass, a size smaller than the water-colored young ones, and a plump tail. She was Adhai, the daughter of Meteor.

She raised her head, her wings now covered in small white spots the size of stones scattered on the ground, unlike when we first met.

“Red Forest Master” “Death?”

“Yes”

Adhai spoke as if he already knew everything.

Recently, she has been practicing the subtle manipulation of her psychic powers. Now, not only the cave, but also the forest outside the cave has entered her sensing range.

From a mother’s perspective, there is nothing more joyful than seeing her daughter grow up, but she cannot be completely happy about it. Because Adhai only thought of running away from her whenever he got a chance.

“Big Adult” “Hunting” “Certainty”

“Ham Ort” “Denial” “Master of the Red Forest” “Not Weak” “Ugly Kindred” “The Hunt” “Impossible”

“Big man” “Appearance” “Change” “Real” “Appearance” “Much” “Cool” “Strong” “Strong!”

It’s been that way ever since I brought the snake king’s body with difficulty last time. Ham Ort knows who the ‘big man’ Adhai is talking about.

An ugly fellow tribesman who was present when Aadhai was discovered.

She remembers the ‘Big Adult’ as a being so bizarrely shaped that it was hard to tell if it was really their kind. If it hadn’t communicated in a similar way to their kind, she might have mistaken it for another creature.

Of course, the large horns on its head weren’t bad, but that was it. It was small and didn’t seem to be very strong. It was a miracle that the daughter of Yoo Sung, who was walking around with such a weak being, had survived until now.

“Fellows” “Appearance” “Cannot be changed” “The daughter of a meteor” “It’s an illusion”

“No” “Ham Ort” “Wrong” “I don’t know” “Not at all” “I don’t know”

When she saw Adhai speaking so meanly, she felt a desire to hit him, but she held it back. She threw a piece of wing in front of Adhai.

Ham Ort informed her as she grabbed the wing fragments with her forelegs and started to nibble them with her tentacles.

“Eat” “After eating” “Where to go” “There is”

“Where to go?”

It is impossible to eat the master of the Red Forest right now. So, we must hurry up and take care of the things that need to be done later.

“King of the Sky” “The Hunt”

“King of Heaven?”

“Ham Ort” “The Daughter of the Meteor” “We Go Together”

If the King of Heaven were to eat the daughter of the meteor, she would instantly rise to a similar level as her. So Ham Ort decided to take a gamble.

If her daughter really is the savior.

She will achieve her goal.

–

A cave boiling with geothermal heat.

The floor was covered with all kinds of precious minerals and jewels, and the walls and ceiling were filled with fragrant fruits.

In the middle of that cave, which was so luxurious that it was rarely seen in nature, the black master was lying there.

The being was sleeping with its long body curled up into a ball, but it still exuded a considerable sense of intimidation.

Its head had six curved horns growing out of it, its wings were as huge as rain-shedding dark clouds, its legs and body were filled with solid muscles, and its claws were as sharp as lightning in a storm.

He was the Black King, the Great Odgrad.

He was sleeping as usual, his body warmed by the geothermal heat. But today was a little different than usual. Even though he was clearly asleep, his tail was twitching as if it was uncomfortable.

After a moment, he raised his head. The entire cave shook violently as the huge body moved.

“What was that just now?”

Odd Grad’s eyes shook with anxiety, then slowly regained their composure. He had had a nightmare while sleeping.

In his dream he saw.

His own people rushed at him and beheaded him.

Even though I vividly saw the beheading and falling during the flight, the entity that had its beheading strangely remained vague.

It was not clear whether it was large or small. One thing that was clear was that the opponent’s body was black.

“…the future?”

Odd Grad has one very special ability.

He can foresee the future, either through precognitive dreams or visions, as he does now.

After realizing his ability to foresee the future, he always moved in a direction that avoided ominous futures. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to survive this long.

Anyway, at this point, there is only one being that can shed its black scales.

A white female who rebelled against him.

Odd Grad was using some trick to keep his kind from ‘growing up’. Somehow or another, the damned female must have discovered a molting condition somewhere unknown to him.

The future shown by the precognitive dream is something that has not yet become reality. Looking back at past precedents, there is still quite a bit of time left until the dream becomes reality. So it is highly likely that the white female is still in the process of molting.

Odd Grad called to his companion outside. When the white companion came in, he gave an order.

“Odd Grad” “I Command” “Compatriots” “Prepare All” “Traitors” “Eliminate”

The wait is over.

It is time to execute the traitors who have been neglected for so long.
