Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 212
Only Noblemtl
Ep. 211
It’s called PH-101 in Megacorp, and Cygil-08 in the Cult Empire.
The planet, designated as a holy place by the cult, has mysterious and dangerous nature and diverse ecosystems. Rare creatures that are not commonly seen roam the planet, and there is a tribe of Wolf natives who maintain their own civilization while being hostile to the outside world.
If I were to define it simply, it would be ‘a dangerous paradise’.
This planet, which has been largely untouched by outside civilization, is heavily guarded by the Cult Empire. Occasionally, pirates, smugglers, and fanatic researchers from Megacorp have attempted to invade the paradise, but these have been rare. Most have been destroyed by the Imperial defense fleet before they even enter the planet’s atmosphere.
However, the idea that the planet had well-preserved nature is now a thing of the past.
Black flames descended from the ends of the sky, and golden lightning shot from the ground by demons. The aftereffects of the war between the transcendent beings were spreading throughout the planet.
The planet’s skies were a mess, with magnetic storms and the remains of a massively exploded carrier battle group. The trees that had once colored the surface green were in flames, and countless creatures inside were burned to death.
Some creatures were lucky enough to survive, but their situation was not all good. The fire spread more and more as time passed, and their territory was shrinking.
Living things that normally eat and are eaten were avoiding fire together at this moment.
A predator with a body resembling a black panther and the legs of a spider, the Nightstalker. It secretly licked its lips as it watched the Wood Devil running away with it.
The body of the guy who was slightly charred by the flames gave off a unique smell. That delicious smell drove Nightstalker crazy.
He knew that avoiding fire was a priority now rather than attacking each other, but the smell was so alluring that it made him lose his senses.
“Krrrrrr.”
Nightstalker, controlled by his overwhelming appetite, ran and drooled. Wood Devil had no idea what the being behind him was thinking.
“Kr… Luck?!”
The moment when the Nightstalker is about to rush towards its prey.
His body stopped as if it were frozen in midair. The panicked man tried to escape from the invisible force, but it was no use.
The invisible force crushed the Nightstalker’s bones before he could even resist. The Wood Devil in front of him also met the same fate.
In an instant, the two creatures, whose bones were shattered all over their bodies, floated in the air and flew off somewhere.
They flew through the burning trees and landed in front of the pink creature.
The pink creature looked like a jellyfish, but its size was incomparably larger. The combined corpses of the Nightstalker and Wood Devil were less than half the size of the creature.
Underneath its round body, numerous fins and tentacles extended out. Inside the fins and tentacles, small claws reminiscent of saw blades were densely located.
It was a creature that was never seen in a forest like this. The monster’s habitat was not on land, but deep in the blue sea.
Sea Demon, the monster of monsters, nicknamed the devil of the deep sea.
The creature extended its tentacles and wrapped them around the corpses.
“I have to give it to the big baby quickly.”
Sea Demon 26 started moving, carrying the corpses.
The fire that had engulfed the entire forest rushed to burn the guy’s soft skin.
She unleashed her psychic powers whenever the flames got close. Every time, not only the flames but also the trees were destroyed, but she didn’t care at all.
A wide open space appeared in front of No. 26, who was moving while burning down the forest. In fact, it was not an open space, but rather a small plain or something close to it, where her most precious thing was lying.
The giant monster that set the sky on fire fell into a deep sleep after pouring out all its power.
In front of the monster’s long snout, there was a mountain of meat from all kinds of creatures, all prepared to be fed to the monster.
Number 26 approached the pile of corpses to place the food in a shape that would be easy to eat. As he was about to place the food, something small fell from the sky.
They were small animals or insects that lived in the forest.
“Food” “Brought to you”
Soon, the being that had dropped the small prey landed in front of No. 26.
A being with a long, sleek body, a bundle of small tentacles instead of a mouth, and wings as large as its body. It was a rare creature from a place far away from this planet, a Gallagon.
Judging from the green color of its scales, it was a fairly grown individual, but its size was very small compared to other Green Gallagons of the same species.
The mutant female Gallagon, Adhai, nodded with satisfaction at the prey she had caught.
“I” “a lot” “bring”
Adhai’s tone was to tell her to hurry up and praise him, but No. 26 didn’t want to do that. Because the guy’s behavior just now had upset her.
“?”
“I piled it up so it would be easy to eat, but the little one ruined it.”
“Feed” “Stomach” “Digestion” “Same” “Shape” “Relation” “Nothing”
Adhai argued that everything that goes into the mouth is the same. However, No. 26 could not agree.
The sleeping big baby is a bit picky when it comes to eating. Unlike her, who eats everything, the big baby is very picky about which food tastes good and which part of the food he eats first.
So I intentionally left the food out there for the older child to like, but Adhai messed it up.
“Put it back up.”
“Understand” “Impossible”
“I’ll start by giving the baby the food he likes.”
Adhai looked dissatisfied, but he followed No. 26’s words without a word. They both wanted to give good food to the being they loved.
Adhai lifted the boar carcass with dozens of thorns on its head and placed it on top. No. 26 became irritated when the guy placed the food he had caught on the end.
“what!”
“Big man” “This” “More” “I like it”
“No! I like this better!”
“negative”
As No. 26 was trying to move the food with its tentacles, Adhai stopped him in the middle. She used her psychic powers as if she was swatting away a flying insect and swept the thing aside.
“Lethal!”
The other side used psychic power first. Adhai decided to do the same. When 26 cleared the boar and placed another one, Adhai quickly moved with his hyper-acceleration ability and restored it to its original state.
“Why are you cleaning it up!”
“This” “More” “Good”
As the two were glaring at each other, a griffon appeared from the burning forest carrying a load of food on its back.
The phantom beast had a head like a bald eagle, a golden mane, and a body like a lioness, and a sapphire necklace hung around its neck.
The companion of the monsters in this place, the Mother of Heaven. No. 26, like Adhai, she had come from the forest to find food, and tilted her head at the strange atmosphere.
“What? You two are here… Why is the atmosphere like this?”
“Little Adult” “Me” “Bullying”
“The little one was the first to make a mistake!”
“Understand” “Impossible” “Little Adult” “Food” “As You Wish” “Clean Up”
“The big kid doesn’t like that.”
“No” “Little adult” “I don’t know” “Not at all” “I don’t know”
“Wait a minute. Morph Park… Ahem, ahem, is that because you’re going to give something to the big baby first?”
“huh.”
“agreement”
The Heavenly Mother was dumbfounded by their words.
The giant monster lying before them now, Morphbak, is a being that sees all living things as genetic essences. It is a creature that eats everything without discrimination if it is edible.
“He’ll like everything anyway, so why don’t we just stack them together?”
“No. This won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
“Little Adult” “Different” “Wrong” “But” “Words” “Right”
“You’re a bad kid! Bad kids need to be punished!”
“Fight” “Do not avoid”
“Wait, wait, wait!”
As the atmosphere between Sea Demon and Gallagon became tense, the Heavenly Mother quickly intervened.
If the two of them fight, Adhai will be finished. That pink slime is not only cute in speech, but it is also a monster that can throw a boulder the size of a house hundreds of meters away. If you use that power on Adhai, it will definitely not be able to pick up even a bone.
“Why don’t you just stack them separately?”
“separately?”
“Yeah. Then the big baby will wake up and eat whatever he wants.”
“Troublesome” “Useless”
“Both of you want to give what you brought first. This one would be more certain. Don’t you think?”
As she desperately tried to persuade them, the feelings between No. 26 and Adhai quickly subsided. Their anger towards each other subsided, but instead, their competitiveness began to slowly rise.
“I’ll bring more!”
“Little Adult” “Slow” “Me” “Fast”
Adhai spread his wings wide and flew up with all his might. He flew across the forest much faster than when he fought Pale Mask in the sea.
“I won’t lose either!”
No. 26 also moved its fins diligently and entered the forest filled with flames.
As the two little monsters disappeared, the Heavenly Mother sighed. Her amber eyes looked longingly at the sleeping giant beast.
‘You little punk Morphbak, you’re going to be in big trouble later.’
Last time, they asked how to lay eggs, and they competed to see who could serve food better. If they were both ordinary creatures, it wouldn’t be an issue, but they are both at the top of their ecosystems.
If the two fight later, a bloody battle will unfold.
‘I was going to bring more food…’
The Heavenly Mother piled the food she had carried on her back into a corner. Then she fell down on the dry ground, holding a small piece of food she had just brought in her mouth.
‘I don’t think that’s necessary.’
While waiting for the squid to bite and eat its prey, Adhai appeared first. It flew at incredible speed and dropped its prey from the sky without even landing on the ground.
The guy who had been carpet-bombing the prey like a bomber turned around and flew away again.
‘If you don’t clean up, we might fight.’
The Heavenly Mother piled the food that Adhai had left behind in front of Morphak.
When Adhai had come and gone about 10 times, No. 26 appeared. Seeing the guy appearing from the forest, Heavenly Mother dropped the food she was holding in her mouth.
‘Crazy?! What is that?’
The corpses of five fully grown Plantrizards and three or four monsters of similar size were floating and moving in the air. Below them, No. 26 was using his psychic powers to move the monster corpses.
“Where did you put it?”
“…excuse me.”
The guy dumped the corpses in the place that the Heavenly Mother had pointed out. Then, bouncing the ground with his fins, he disappeared beyond the forest.
As soon as the guy disappeared, Adhai appeared. The guy who had never landed before landed on the ground this time.
The beautiful amethyst eyes were fixed exactly on the pile of food that No. 26 had piled up.
“That thing” “Little adult” “Food?”
“okay.”
Adhai shook his head loudly as if he was annoyed and flew away again.
‘…Fuck, did I do something wrong?’
She had a feeling that the competition between the two was not simple. And her prediction was right.
The competition between the two continued until Adhai could no longer fly. At that time, No. 26 had also lost a lot of energy due to over-exploding energy.
In front of Aimov, there was a mountain of corpses. Some had been burned to death, but most were poor victims of the competition between the two small monsters.
‘…Scary guys.’
It would have been nice if it ended there, but this time something else became a problem.
“The food I brought is bigger!”
“I” “more” “more” “bring” “I” “win”
“No! Bigger prey is better!”
“Negative” “Little Adult” “I don’t know” “I don’t know” “I don’t know” “Not at all” “I don’t know!”
Adhai, too exhausted to even flap his wings, was only using his mouth to scratch No. 26’s nerves. No. 26 seemed to want to hit him with his tentacles, but he was too weak to move and could only grumble.
And the sparks flew to a third party.
“Middle child, who did better?”
“uh?”
“Good Friend” “Answer” “Please”
The Heavenly Mother was embarrassed when the two monsters looked at her.
‘Why are you asking me that?’
There would be no problem taking sides right now, but I was afraid of the aftermath. One side was a quasi-raid boss-level creature, and the other side was a creature that still had the potential to become a terrifying entity.
Having a grudge against one of the two was extremely burdensome for her, who had just joined the Morphak group.
“Uh, well, wouldn’t it be okay if we just count them both as winning? This guy wants that too… .”
“No. Big babies like big food too. They don’t like it if you give them a lot of small, tasteless food.”
“Little Adult” “All” “Wrong” “Big Adult” “Food” “Number” “Important” “Quantity” “Not Important”
Given the atmosphere, it is impossible to just gloss over it.
At that moment, she was at a loss as to what to say.
“Grrrrr”
The voice of the Savior was heard.
When she turned her head, the sleeping monster opened its eyes.
The monster, which had been sleeping for almost two days, sat up and stretched out its many arms.
[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (Something smells delicious)]
“No. 26 and Adhai brought food! Eat it quickly.”
[Zu zu zu (Huh? Really?)]
The Heavenly Mother quickly passed the decision to him. Just waking up, he scratched his chin with his arm and looked down at the pile of food.
And then he stretched out his arms, as if he had made up his mind.
“uh?”
Aimov used the membrane attached to his battle arm to scoop up the food piles and stuff them into his mouth. It happened so quickly that it was impossible to tell who ate first.
“Big man” “Eat it all”
“Then who won?”
Aimoff, who had eaten everything except a few corpses, stretched out his arms and hugged No. 26 and Adhai.
[Zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu (Thank you all for taking care of me)]
“Big baby, are you not in pain anymore?”
“Big man” “Are you okay?”
[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (Yeah. If it weren’t for you guys, we’d be in trouble. It’s all thanks to you guys)]
Is it because I’m tired, or is it because I’m wrapped in the shell of the person I love?
No. 26 and Adhai wanted to ask whose taste was better, but they couldn’t. The overwhelming waters had come down on them. They both fell asleep before they could ask.
[Zuzu zuzuzuzuzuzu (Are you really tired?)]
“… You seem to have many sins.”
[Zuzu (huh?)]
“It’s nothing.”
The Heavenly Mother let out a small sigh.
Amidst the burning of the sky and the earth, Aimoff patted the sleeping 26 and Adhai without knowing anything.
