Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 210
Only Noblemtl
Ep. 209
I quickly raised my altitude by swinging my wings. The dark clouds that had split apart due to my fight with Ham Ort soon returned to their original positions.
There, amidst the snow, rain, and occasional lightning, you can see a star floating proudly.
I flew quickly and approached Adhai.
“Big adult”
[Zuzuzuzuzuzuzu (What happened?)]
“Fellow” “Chased”
[Zuzu (same race?)]
“I” “White Peers” “Encounter” “Ham Ort” “The Crowd”
As the guy said, the gallagons were flying towards this side and fighting. While the white gallagon being chased was covered in blood, the ten green gallagons chasing the guy looked relatively unharmed.
It wouldn’t be easy for a normal White Gallagon to fight 10 of them, unless it was Ham Ort, who is exceptional among the Gallagons. If left alone, it would be hunted and killed by the Green Gallagons.
“Big Adult” “White Peer” “Something to Say” “There Is”
[Zuzuzuzuzu (What do you want to say?)]
“Importance” “Trust” “Request”
I looked at the guy, wondering if he was trying to save his own kind, but it didn’t seem like that.
‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to eat some Green Gallagon right now.’
The symbol of hunting was finished before talking to Adhai earlier. It is highly likely that the predation effect will not be triggered, but it is not bad since it can fulfill the number of Apex points among the evolution conditions.
‘There are quite a few, but….’
I looked around. I couldn’t see any other Gallagons following me besides the ten.
[Zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzu (Let’s organize it first)]
“agreement”
“Let’s give him a good scolding!”
I spread my wings wide and glided in the direction they were. Adhai, who was flying next to me, flew past me at the same speed as her mother.
The guy who approached the group of Green Gallagons in the blink of an eye started moving quickly and shooting psychic breath.
‘Isn’t that great?’
According to the setting, Gallagon has to go through a series of charging processes before he can fire his psychic breath. As such, he stops moving before firing his breath.
This is also the case in reality. Even Gallagon, who has outstanding skills like Ham Ort, flinched for a moment when he shot his breath.
However, Adhai had no such weaknesses at all. He was using hyper-acceleration and firing short bursts of psychic breath.
The enemies were bewildered by the unheard and unseen attack method. They tried to use their super-acceleration ability to cling to Adhai, but even then, Adhai was much faster.
While Adhai was in the spotlight, the bloody White Gallagon also struck back at the enemies.
‘You fight better than I thought…’
A newly grown Gallagon and a badly injured White Gallagon are no match for ten enemies.
If the Green Gallagons use their numerical superiority to surround Aadhai, it will be difficult for him to take advantage of his strengths. It seems like they had similar thoughts to me, as they began to take up positions to surround him.
‘I can’t just leave it like that.’
I can fly pretty fast, even if I’m not as fast as Adhaina Ham Ort. I hid in the clouds and approached the Gallagons quietly.
The Green Gallagons were focused solely on the enemy in front of them. I leapt forward, waiting for one of them to fly near me.
“?!”
Green Gallagon is startled when a being three or four times larger than himself suddenly appears from the black cloud. The erosion tentacles on my back instantly wrap around the thing’s body.
“stomach…”
The creature tried to emit a warning blast, but I was faster. I opened my long, extended mouth wide and bit into its neck.
I returned into the clouds, carrying Gallagon’s limp body with his neck broken.
–
Lagmad, a grass-colored male belonging to the great Odd Grad’s herd, was in a good mood.
He never had a chance to mate until he grew from aquamarine to grass-green scales, as the great Odd Grad strictly controlled the males to ensure that no other males could find a mate.
The old black dragon is still so powerful that even the pure white adults are afraid. He has grass-colored scales and is no match for him.
One day, when he had finally given up and was just living quietly, an opportunity came to him.
Ham Ort, the third companion of Odd Grad and second in the pack hierarchy, has rebelled.
Despite her young age, the pure white queen possessed great power and was a female that even Ragmad admired. She rejected the rule of Odd Grad and created a new flock.
At that time, Lagmad also considered leaving the group, but he was afraid of Odd Grad’s wrath, so he did not dare to take action.
And his prediction was right. The people who followed Ham Ort could not escape the wrath of the black dragon. Most of them died, and the pure white leader was left to lay eggs until he died.
If he could kill the surviving Ham Ort hordes, Lagmad might get the chance he’s been waiting for.
This is the opportunity to mate with the pure white queen he has longed for. His dream is getting closer and closer to reality.
A little troublemaker showed up in the middle of the process and started to annoy him, but he wasn’t worried.
The unusually small, pure white race are very fast and strong, but that’s all. They are far more numerous with grass-colored scales.
It just takes some time, but the only ones who survive in this place are the Odd Grads.
With that thought in mind, Lagmad looked at his target. Two of his kind were fighting against the white kind.
Just when he was about to think that he was fighting well, Ragmad felt something strange.
Because originally there were only three comrades who were supposed to fight the white race.
“Ragmad!” “Target!” “Surround!” “Support!”
His own people called him to catch the little troublemaker. Ragmad, looking at his own people, realized that there was something strange about this side as well.
This place is also missing one.
“Question” “Fellow” “Inadequacy”
“Understand” “Impossible”
“Dongjok” “Yeol” “Now” “Eight”
“?”
His fellow countrymen, unable to understand his words, stopped in midair. At that moment, lightning struck in the dark sky.
A bolt of lightning rode through the clouds and spread across the sky.
In that brief moment, Lagmad saw.
A huge shadow within the dark clouds.
As soon as the lightning passed, the master of the shadows jumped out. Numerous heads grabbed one of his kind. That kind of person was dragged into the black clouds without even a sound of breathing.
The cloud that swallowed up one of its own kind floated away with the wind as if nothing had happened. No trace was left behind where the cloud had passed.
Lagmad, who watched the scene from beginning to end, felt emotions he had never felt in his entire life.
Even when he saw Odd Grad’s wrath up close, an emotion he had never felt before coursed through his scales.
The eerie feeling I felt throughout my body, it was an overwhelming fear.
“Enemy!” “Enemy!” “New Enemy!” “Discovery!”
When he realized that, Lagmad screamed involuntarily. His feelings were completely absorbed into the thoughts he shot.
Lagmad’s compatriots, sensing his panic, quickly took up a state of alert. The little white troublemaker had disappeared. Their target was also nowhere to be seen.
Maybe that guy was also eaten by “something” in the clouds.
That fearsome and greedy being now targets them.
At that moment, a purple flash burst out of the clouds. It was the breath of the pure white intruder. One of the grass-colored kin quickly stepped back to avoid it.
“Danger!” “Caution!”
“stomach…?”
At that moment, a thick darkness covered the compatriots who were trying to escape. The compatriots who were attacked from behind were defeated without even being able to fight back. The darkness was as black as the night sky, or rather, it was something that flapped its wings that looked like darkness and hid itself in the dark clouds again.
“Black compatriots!” “Danger!”
“Odd Grad” “Need!”
“impossibility!”
“True” “All” “Approach” “Necessary”
Lagmad called his panicked compatriots together. If they gathered in one place, that hidden “something” would not be able to prey on them.
I thought so, but then lightning struck again.
Unlike the white flash from earlier, this time it was a bright golden lightning.
“?”
It wasn’t just the color of the lightning that was strange. Strangely, instead of the lightning that should have been splitting into small pieces and scattering, it was clumping together and flying in a specific direction.
Directly towards the group of Lagmads who were closing the distance between them.
A lightning serpent as fast as light tore his compatriots to pieces.
Amidst the torrent of blood and flesh fragments, he saw what lay beyond the lightning.
The “something” sitting on the heavenly throne was the King of Black Death. The many heads the King possessed were holding back Lagmad’s kin.
And the white lion sent by the black king spit purple flames at him.
–
‘It was easier than I expected.’
I was a little worried because there were 10 of them, but they were resolved more easily than I thought. They were young and inexperienced, so they got scared quickly. If there had been a White Gallagon in command among the enemies, they wouldn’t have been defeated so quickly.
‘Probably one or two of them ran away and brought their companions.’
From then on, an endless hellish wheel war awaits me. The Gallagons will keep charging at me until I die.
‘I’m glad that didn’t happen.’
After clearing out the green Gallagon herd, we returned to the ground.
“Is this the new Gallagon?”
[Zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz (Body fragments fell on the forest)]
“You want me to collect it? Okay.”
“I’ll help you too, baby in the middle.”
“… Could you please change the name?”
“Not possible due to lack of authority or unmet conditions.”
While Heavenly Mother and PS-111 were in the forest, White Gallagon approached me.
“Nell Germa” “Black Pedigree” “Thanks”
The female white gallagoon, who introduced herself as Nel Germara, thanked me.
‘Are you one of Ham Ort’s subordinates?’
I looked over the injured Gallagon. He was very weak, covered in wounds all over his body. If I attacked him right away, he would die right away.
‘Let’s ask about Adhai first and then deal with it.’
As I was about to move the monster’s tentacles to ask a question, Nel Germa shot a thought wave first.
“The Daughter of the Star” “Ham Ort” “The Message” “Existence”
“Message?” “Me?”
“Odd Grad” “The Crowd” “Raid” “The Same People” “Most” “Death”
“!”
“Younger Kindred” “How Much” “Not Much Left” “The Rest” “Death”
Adhai and I were startled by Nel Germa’s words. The creature with wide eyes that resembled amethyst soon began to flap its wings. It was furious at the news that its young compatriots had been brutally killed.
“Odd Grad” “Bad!” “Younger Brotherhood” “Poor!”
However, in my case, the feeling was slightly different.
‘He beat the player.’
It seems that while Ham Ort was away with Adhai, Black Gallagon set up their nest.
This side had no leader, but the other side had a leader, and a Black Gallagon who was more powerful than the Whites, so it was obvious what would happen next. There would have been a massacre.
That must be why Ham Ort turned back in a hurry while fighting me. He must have intended to join his people and fight Black Gallagon, even if it was late.
‘It seems like a failure considering the circumstances.’
Anyway, if that bastard attacked the nest and slaughtered the Gallagons, it would be a huge loss for me, because it would reduce the amount of genetic essence I can take.
‘No. Even if the genetic essence is like that, the conditions for evolution are the problem.’
In order to evolve into an adult, I must kill an Apex myself. My evolution condition will not be fulfilled by killing another creature first and eating its corpse.
I asked Nel Germa.
[Zuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuz (What happened to Ham Ort?)]
“I” “When I leave” “Odd Grad” “Ham Ort” “Fight”
Most likely, Ham Ort is dead. Even if he is stronger than a normal White Gallagon, it’s not enough to overcome the difference in color.
“More than that” “Important things” “The daughter of a meteor”
“?”
“Ham Ort” “Speech” “Savior” “Condition”
“King of Heaven” “Already” “Eat”
“Next” “Condition” “White People” “Eating”
“Dongjok” “Eat?”
“Ham Ort” “Suicide” “The Daughter of the Meteor” “Growth” “Sacrifice” “Wanting”
“Trust!” “Impossible!” “Impossible!”
Adhai, hearing Nel Germa’s words, reacted in disbelief.
“Ham Ort” “Me” “Abandonment!” “Sacrifice” “Lies!”
It seemed unrealistic to him that his mother, who had abandoned him in the past, was now sacrificing her life for him.
Even if they are blood relatives, it would be hard to trust someone who once abandoned you. I could understand his feelings because I had a similar experience.
‘Maybe even worse than me.’
On this harsh ice planet, leaving the nest without the ability to hunt means immediate death. The group that abandoned Adhai clearly wanted him dead.
“Fact” “Ham Ort” “Sacrifice” “Impossible” “Instead” “Nel Germa” “Sacrifice”
“Trust” “Impossible!”
“Time” “None” “Odd Grad” “The Remaining Young Kindred” “What to Find”
As the boy shook his head, Nel Germa desperately tried to persuade her.
As I was watching the two, number 26 came towards me. He pulled out a tentacle and poked me.
“Big baby.”
[Zuzuzu (What’s wrong?)]
“Big flap flap. Are you the little baby’s mother?”
[Z zu zu zu zu zu zu zu zu zu zu (Yeah. It was a long time ago, so not anymore)]
“Once a mother, always a mother.”
To be honest, I didn’t want to talk to No. 26 about such a worthless topic in the current situation. So I just stayed quiet, and he continued the conversation.
“I told you when I was running away.”
[Huh?]
“Please take good care of the little one.”
I tried to ignore it because it was so ridiculous, but then something suddenly occurred to me.
When Ham Ort tricked me and retreated, he sent me a short wave. At the time, I was so out of my mind that I thought Adhai was in danger that I didn’t hear it properly.
“I said I wanted the little one to live.”
[Zuzu (that)]
“Is it because the big flap flap is my mom?”
I was left speechless at number 26.
‘… If you think about it that way, it makes sense.’
Why did Ham Ort so easily pass up his daughter, who was so important to him?
When he talked to his kin, he realized that the nest was under attack. Furthermore, Skywhale had already been taken from me, so Adhai’s growth was in jeopardy. That’s why he left his daughter with me and went to guard the nest.
‘That’s not all. I thought I wasn’t enough on my own, so I took out insurance.’
He knew how strong I was, but he judged me to be weaker than the Black Dragon. So he told White Gallagon to send me to Adhai while we were fighting in the nest.
‘It’s the same whether Adhai wants to eat it or I kill Nel Germa and feed it to him.’
Whatever it was, if Adhai got stronger, he could survive the Black Dragon, so he must have gambled one last time.
‘Ha. How clever.’
I don’t think I’ve ever met an enemy in this world as smart as him. That includes Noble Capital from Megacorp, Androids from Star Union, and even the players.
‘Is it motherhood…?’
It would be ridiculous to apply human standards to Gallagon, but there is no concept more appropriate to describe this situation: a mother’s wish for her daughter’s peace and happiness.
Or perhaps Ham Ort wanted to atone for the daughter he had abandoned in the past.
Adhai’s momentum suddenly died down, as if he had understood the wavelength of No. 26. Confusing emotions were pouring out of his head.
‘Tsk.’
It is pointless to speculate on what Ham Ort’s intentions were in doing this. He is dead anyway, and we are left with a formidable enemy in the form of the Black Gallagon.
I forced myself to clear my mind of the thoughts that were pricking a corner of my heart and called out to Nel Germa.
[Zuz …
“Odd Grad” “Mysterious Power” “There Is”
[Zuzuzuzuzu (mysterious power?)]
“Odd Grad” “Opponent” “Heart” “Read” “Thanks to” “Injury” “Not getting hurt”
As far as I know, Black Gallagon doesn’t have such an ability. It’s a flying, psychic-like creature, but it doesn’t have mind-reading or invulnerable skin.
‘No. I don’t know. There may be a power I don’t know about.’
If an already powerful guy has an unknown power, he is by no means an easy opponent. He is a problem in and of himself, but his group must also be considered. He will definitely mobilize his subordinates to fight me.
‘Then we need reinforcements too.’
I don’t have enough strength to fight right now. So I have to make up for what I lack somehow.
[Zuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuz (I have something to ask)]
“Black People” “Question” “Answer”
[Zuzuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu (Eating white compatriots. Are there any other conditions?)]
“Probably” “It will be”
Nel Germa nods.
‘That’s good.’
I need more and stronger allies now.
It is more advantageous to use Nel Germa to fight against the other side rather than killing him here. It is said that Aadhai can eat any White Gallagon to grow anyway.
If so, the answer is set.
‘Just save someone else.’
As a member of the Odd Grad group.
