Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 224



Only Noblemtl

Ep. 223

Adhai’s growth issues are over with this, but there are still some left.

Red Gallagon was originally included in the plan to conquer Odd Grad, but that card is no longer usable.

‘So we have to change our plans to fight without Red Gallagon.’

It is true that there are some regrettable aspects, regardless of the guy’s choice.

Red Gallagon is a terrifying top predator, both in terms of setting and in the actual game, even more so than Sea Demon or Black Gallagon. There are only a handful of creatures with more power than red dragons.

However, we cannot expect that much power from the current Adhai. It is unknown how much of Red Gallagon’s power he can use, but it will obviously be weaker than the original.

‘Let’s look into that later.’

There are things I need to check first. I looked up to my mother in heaven.

She went into the nest herself to rescue Ham Ort. There are many things to ask, such as how he was rescued, the size and condition of the enemy forces, etc.

“I saw in the sky that you had used the scepter of God.”

She knew what I wanted to ask, so she slowly began to explain what had happened in the dragon’s nest.

“I debated whether or not I should retreat and support you, but I can’t fly. I thought that going ahead without thinking would be useless. In that case, I thought it would be better to build a nest, so I did that.”

[Zuzu (Hinji)]

“I thought it would be worth a try since all the White Gallagons had left the nest. It wasn’t hard to actually get into the nest either.”

The black fur of the Wendigo is home to microscopic bacteria. These bacteria do not cause much harm to other creatures, but they can cause temporary cognitive impairment.

Wendigo can artificially spread germs on its body. Those who inhale the germs or are infected will experience a loss of direction and confusion of the five senses for a short period of time.

‘It’s a skill that’s perfect for infiltration or surprise attacks.’

She probably knows as much about Wendigos as I do, so she must have intentionally transformed into one.

By the way, this ability can only be used when transformed into a Wendigo, as the setting states that bacteria are generated from the black fur.

[Zuzuzu zuuzuzu zuuzuzu zuuzuzu (How many Gallagons were in the nest?)]

“I don’t know exactly because I try to avoid them as much as possible, but I think there are over 50 Green Gallagons.”

[Zuzu (there are a lot)]

Taking into account the Gallagon Sun and hatchlings she had not seen, the Odd Grad pack must number close to 100 members.

As far as I know, a single Gallagon herd rarely exceeds 60 members, because if it grows beyond that, it becomes difficult to obtain food.

‘Come to think of it, this is where I first fought the mutant Screamer.’

There was a time when the thing self-destructed, causing a fire in the forest and killing many creatures. At that time, the Gallagons that flew in were busy gathering food and flying away rather than anything else.

Gallagons are predators that enjoy hunting living creatures. They will also eat dead creatures, but they are of lower priority. Nevertheless, Gallagons are keen on moving charred corpses.

[Zuz …

“I haven’t been to where the eggs are kept, but I think so. There are too many to support.”

[Zuzuzu zuuzuzu zuuzuzu zuuzuzu zuuzuzu (Even though there were a lot of them, I managed to save Ham Ort)]

“It was close. And the situation was good.”

[Zuzu zuzuzu (what does it mean?)]

“Ham Ort was also waiting for his chance. When I met him and gave him a brief explanation, he understood right away. Thanks to his cooperation, we were able to minimize the fight.”

I was a little surprised by her words. Should I really call her Adhai’s mother? She had extraordinary judgment and courage.

She said that she had no difficulty escaping the nest thanks to the active cooperation of the rescue target. This was thanks to the Wendigo’s powerful special ability, the ‘Ice Spirit’.

Creatures afflicted by the Ice Wraith lose all sense of reason due to their abnormal hunger. She moves by making the green gallagons that circle the nest go wild, thereby diverting the attention of her enemies.

Moreover, it is said that the cliff, which was expected to be the biggest obstacle in escaping, was easily passed thanks to the advice provided by Ham Ort.

“I originally planned to climb up and escape, but the guy said there was water flowing under the cliff. So I escaped that way.”

As they jumped off the cliff, Ham Ort used his psychic powers to slow their fall, allowing the two to land on the water without serious injuries.

“If we had been even a little bit late, it would have been dangerous. Odd Grad came back while we were escaping.”

It was a terrible coincidence. If she had returned to the nest, or if it had taken just a little longer to rescue Ham Ort, they would have both been finished.

She escaped by using the waterway and returned to the nest.

“When I came back, they were all hiding in holes dug in front of the nest.”

‘It’s the hole I saw earlier.’

The guys almost attacked the Sky Mother when she transformed into a Wendigo, but thanks to Ham Ort, no fight broke out.

“After that, I went out to hunt for food and scout from time to time. Just in case you came with Gallagon.”

[Zuzuzu (good job)]

As expected of a ranker, it was an appropriate judgment and action. When I praised her, the amber flames that had bloomed in her eye sockets gently flickered.

“Mopbak has been getting a lot of compliments lately.”

[Zuzuzu (Should I cancel?)]

“I’m joking. By the way, I heard from Ham Ort that Odd Grad has some strange powers?”

[Zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu (Yeah. He can predict the crisis)]

“Crisis prediction?”

At my words, the Heavenly Mother scratched her black skull with her hand.

“Are you talking about the ability to foresee? It wasn’t that great in the game.”

[Zuzuzuzuz zuuzuzuz zuuzuzuzuz zuuzuzuzuzuz (not here. because I’m reading the real future)]

She straightened her posture as she understood the meaning of those words. She must have known how serious a problem it was that the Black Gallagon, which occupies the top ranks of the ecosystem, could read the future.

“… It won’t be easy. How much do you think you can read?”

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (Life-threatening situation that occurs in less than 5 minutes)]

I don’t know exactly how much time I have left to look forward to, but I know for sure that I’m responding to a life-threatening situation.

‘Come to think of it, Ham Ort also fought that guy.’

[Zzzzzzzz zzzzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzz (You said you heard it from Ham Ort? I’ll have to ask him when he wakes up.)]

“Huh? I don’t know if Ham Ort knows.”

[Huh?]

“The ability the guy was talking about was a different ability. It wasn’t the ability of foresight.”

[Zuzu zuzuzu zu zuzuzu (There are other abilities?)]

When I heard that, even I couldn’t help but be flustered.

“Unlike the ability of foresight, this isn’t an ability related to combat. No, it’s ambiguous to even call it an ability in the first place.”

[Zuzu zuzuzuzu (What kind of ability is it?)]

“According to Ham Ort’s expression, he is said to possess a mineral that has the power to deceive his own kind.”

[Zuzu (mineral?)]

When I heard that, something suddenly came to mind.

‘Ore? Maybe?’

The creature wore a large ring with a refined gem set into its foreleg.

Gallagon is intelligent, but he has no concept of adorning himself with equipment or clothing. That’s why I thought his ring was unusual.

[Zuzuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu (Come to think of it, he was wearing a ring with a jewel on it)]

“A gem ring. I think that’s what he’s talking about. He said he never lets the mineral imbued with power leave his body.”

If Ham Ort’s words are true, it would explain why Odd Grad, despite his unusual personality for a Gallagon, was able to command so many of his own kind. Where the ring came from is a different matter.

‘Whatever it is, the fact that the ring is the key to his control is important information.’

What if he loses his ring during a fight?

His men will be very agitated. They are already starving, and their ruler is manipulating his people in suspicious ways.

If you use this well, you can deal a fatal blow to Odd Grad.

I looked down at Adhai, who was rubbing his head against the back of my hand.

Looking at him made me think about what I should do when fighting Odd Grad.

‘good.’

I got enough information from Heavenly Mother. I organized the information and thought about what to do next.

Now there are three things left.

Waiting for Ham Ort to wake up, and… .

‘To check Aadhai’s abilities and activate my mimic scales.’

These are two related issues. They can be dealt with at the same time.

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (Let’s go back to the nest for now. There’s a lot to do.)]

“okay.”

“Story” “Is it over?”

[Yeah]

Hearing what I said, the guy slowly took his head off my hand. He definitely looked different, perhaps because he had some of Red Gallagon’s traits mixed in.

Of course, the body had grown larger, and the colors of the horns and wings had changed, but more fundamentally, it felt different.

‘The ideology has changed.’

If in the past, it was said that the primitive emotions were conveyed and then shot, the current wave of thoughts was much more refined. Just like when No. 26 or Odd Grad conveyed their intentions.

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (Your communication skills are getting better)]

“Change” “Not so much?”

[Zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzu zuzuzuzu (No. Growing up is good)]

The guy’s ideology was simple, but there were quite a few parts that were difficult to understand. It was much easier for me now.

‘I feel a little sorry, though.’

With that thought in mind, I picked up the remaining Gallagon corpse.

So when I returned to the nest with Adhai, the Mother of Heaven, and Nel Germa, I saw the Green Gallagons that had gone out hunting.

The guys were stuck to No. 26’s body like a blue gallagon. It was because of the cold of this planet that even gallagons had a hard time enduring it.

‘Should I plant the spores of the symbiotic organism?’

Then the guys saw us and took off from No. 26. They came in front of us, lowered their wings and upper body to the ground, and lowered their heads.

‘what?’

Their bowed horns were all pointed towards a single being.

It was Adhai climbing onto my back.

‘hmm.’

This is the first time I’ve seen other Gallagons react this way to Adhai. He may not have become a Red Gallagon, but the Gallagons don’t seem to think so.

The Gallagons, who had greeted each other in unison, stood up, took out the corpses they had placed in the pit, and placed them in front of me. The scene was similar to servants bringing food to their master.

‘No, in this case, is it the appearance of a subject offering a gift to the queen?’

Adhai tilted his head, wondering why they were doing this.

“Me” “Full” “Food” “You don’t have to give it to me” “You guys” “Eat”

“Thank you”

Only after the guy refused did the green gallagons start eating the prey they had caught. While the green gallagons were eating, I attached the symbiotic spores to their bodies.

And Adhai gave some of the remains of the White Gallagon that he had left behind to No. 26.

[Zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu (We have something to eat and do together)]

“What to do?”

[Zuzu zuuuuu zuuu zuuuu (I need both you and Adhai)]

“Okay. Big kid, trust me!”

He’s a guy who always says good things to me.

I lifted my winged arm and patted the guy with gratitude. The guy’s body sparkled as if he was happy.

After sharing the corpses of No. 26 and Gallagon, I took them out of the nest again.

‘I think this will suffice.’

I stopped at a suitable empty space and explained to Adhai and No. 26 what we were going to do here.

[Zuzu zuuuuu zuuu zuuu zuuu zuuu zuuuu zuuuu (First, Adhai will test his new power)]

We need to see how much of Red Gallagon’s power we can unleash.

‘Because Red Gallagon uses a new type of power called Dragon Power.’

The schedule will change slightly depending on how much dragon power the guy uses.

In order to grant psychic resistance to the Mimic Scale, it must be hit only by pure psychic power attacks. Even if it gains resistance to dragon power, it will not help at all right now.

The immunity effect provided by the Mimic Scale only applies to one type of energy at a time. It takes several days for the immunity effect to wear off, so be careful not to waste time.

“Now” “Try it?”

[Zu zu zu zu zu (Yes. As much as I can)]

When I nodded, Adhai’s eyes lit up.

Then, a red stream of air began to emanate from the guy’s body.
