Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 226



Only Noblemtl

Ep. 225

The effect of ‘Mimicry Scales’ is to provide a high level of resistance to certain energies.

Now that we’ve gained immunity to psychic powers, Odd Grad’s breath shouldn’t be much of a problem.

‘It may be painful, but I can handle it.’

Its breath is overwhelmingly stronger than that of other Gallagons. It is unlikely to absorb the shock completely when hit.

But it’s not enough to threaten my life. I don’t have to run around trying to avoid its breath anymore.

‘The problem is the ability to detect crisis…’

We’ve prepared a way to disintegrate his horde, a way to withstand his attacks, but there’s just one problem.

How to attack an enemy that can see into the future.

I kept thinking as I returned to the nest with Adhai and No. 26.

There are no skills or characteristics that can read the future in Space Survival. This is only natural since it is an online VR game with a large number of players.

The name is ‘Future Prediction’ or ‘Prophecy’, but in reality, it only upgrades evasion ability or shows enemy movements on the minimap.

So, it would be fair to say that Odd Grad was the first incomprehensible enemy I faced in this world.

‘No, but there is a clue.’

I have been exposed to the ability to foresee the future. I have a ‘predator sense’.

I’ve gotten out of many crises thanks to my precognitive crisis detection trait. Without it, I wouldn’t have gotten this far.

In my memory, the scope of the future that my predator sense conveys is not very long. It gives me a preview of what will happen to my body in a matter of minutes or so.

The only exception is when you use ‘The Symbol of the Hunt’.

‘In the state of hunting symbolism, the area where one can see the future has expanded.’

The first time I felt this was when I was escaping from the hospital in the TNC Special Trade Center. At that time, the Edgerton Knights were moving to surround the hospital, but I was able to avoid them safely because I sensed them in advance.

This is probably because it exaggerates the characteristics and type effects of the hunting symbol.

‘If you think about it, his ability is unique.’

It is clear that the bastard’s ability is to foresee a dangerous future, but the scope is quite vague.

Because he anticipated that I would attack the White Gallagon I had gone hunting for, and he came to attack me.

On the other hand, he would sense every time I used ‘Color of the Abyss’ like a ghost. Even though he had never seen it before, he would try to avoid it.

‘That means you can see it beyond the immediate crisis… .’

In the long run, my hunting of White Gallagons could be detrimental to him, since my goal was always to kill him.

If that’s the case, then it would explain why he didn’t attack me right away when I arrived on this planet. He came to this planet to capture Gallagon and Apex, but not exactly to kill Odd Grad.

‘… Let’s change our minds for a moment.’

He’s already way out of the game. So we need to broaden our thinking.

‘What if he could see different types of futures?’

For example, a future similar to mine can be distinguished between a future that can only be seen in certain situations and a future that can be seen in normal times.

To summarize, there are two futures he can see.

‘The danger that is happening right before our eyes and the dangerous future that will come in the distant future.’

Based on the information given, it seems reasonable to assume this.

And here’s the important part.

Odd Grad set a trap to kill me, who could ‘pose a danger’ to his life. I was caught in his scheme and had to fight in an imperfect state. As a result, I exposed most of my secret weapons.

But he didn’t know that he could die fighting me. In fact, he almost died because of the colors of the deep sea and the whirlwind of God.

Taking this into account, a new hypothesis can be formulated.

‘The futures he sees are limited.’

First, let’s look at the ability to detect risks that may occur in the long-term future.

This can only be seen in certain cycles or under certain circumstances, and is unlikely to be seen frequently. That is why it does not reflect future changes in the middle.

‘The ability to detect impending danger within a second.’

As it is a similar effect to the predator sense I have, its limitations are similar. It is helpful in dealing with danger when a certain situation arises, but it is impossible to avoid the ‘dangerous situation itself’.

So, to kill him, you have to target the gap that occurs between two types of futures.

‘If you move rashly, you’ll get caught by that guy.’

Ham Ort’s escape, Adhai’s growth, information about the ring he has, and even the imitation scales. He has a lot of cards, but if he uses them recklessly, he will detect them in advance.

‘If I do something wrong, he might run away.’

Odd Grad is the only Black Gallagon on this planet. Missing it here would mean missing out on one of its unique traits.

‘We have to create a future that is not disadvantageous to him and lead him there.’

While we were wondering how to hit the guy, we arrived at the nest.

I could see the Heavenly Mother sitting at the entrance to the nest, and the bruised White Gallagon lying beside her.

“Ham Ort?”

Adhai let out a thought wave. Ham Ort, who sensed the guy’s thought wave, raised his head and looked at her.

The mother’s purple eyes filled with confusion as she saw her daughter.

“The Daughter of the Star” “The Savior” “Did You Fail?” “Why?” “Why?”

“I” “Savior” “Rejected”

When he heard Adhai’s answer, Ham Ort jumped up from his seat. The Heavenly Mother who was next to him also got up following him.

“Be careful. Your wound hasn’t completely healed yet.”

“Why?” “You” “Choice” “Wrong!” “Odd Grad” “Can’t Stop It!”

Ham Ort seemed shocked by the fact that his daughter had refused to be transformed into Red Gallagon. He was usually cool-headed even when fighting, but now he was showing his anger without any filter.

Adhai, who responded to Ham Ort’s passionate ideology, did not back down and poured out his ideology.

“Me” “New compatriots” “Chosen” “Past compatriots” “Important but” “This way” “More” “Important!”

“Odd Grad” “Younger Peers” “Adult Peers” “All” “Kill!

“Worry” “Unnecessary” “Big adult” “Small adult” “Ugly friend” “Sick child” “Same race” “Everyone” “Strength” “We will fight together”

“Odd Grad” “Strength” “Powerful” “Black Kindred” “Victory” “Impossible” “Odd Grad” “Black Kindred” “Kill”

“Big man” “I’m not weak” “Ham Ort” “Don’t insult me!”

“Ham Ort! Calm down!”

Ham Ort was ready to rush at Adhai at any moment. If his wings and body were intact, and if the Heavenly Mother had not stopped him, he would have done so without a doubt.

“Disappointment” “Disappointed” “Disappointed!” “The Daughter of the Meteorite” “Blessing” “Abandoned!” “Expectations of the Peers” “Abandoned!”

“Disappointed?” “Me” “More” “Disappointed” “Ham Ort” “Same-race” “Me” “Weak” “I abandoned you!”

“Negative!” “Weak compatriot!” “Never abandoned!”

“Lies!” “Ham Ort” “Liar” “Me” “Abandon” “Savior” “Comrades” “Salvation” “Force” “Abomination!”

“!”

As the two’s emotions intensified, the waves of thought gradually changed into a primitive form. The waves of thoughts mixed with Ham Ort’s disappointment and anger and Adhai’s sorrow and resentment made my monster’s tentacles tingle.

Even the 26th, which is sensitive to wavelength detection, seems to have been affected, as its body color has changed to a dark pink.

“I” “I’ll go out and come back”

In the end, the first one to retreat was Adhai. He kicked the ground hard with his hind legs and flew into the forest.

“What’s going on?”

PS-111, who had been tending to the Blue Gallagon with symbiotic spores inside the nest, walked out.

“I had a fight with my mom and the little baby.”

“After analyzing the surrounding environmental factors, there is no evidence of combat between the ‘Little Baby’ and the ‘Ham Ort’.”

“My friend’s words are so difficult that I don’t know what they mean.”

While PS-111 was having an unexpected conversation with No. 26, Ham Ort was just staring blankly in the direction where his daughter had disappeared. He must have been in a state of shock, as unbridled emotions poured out of his body.

“This forest is safe, but just in case. 26 and PS-111, bring Adhai to me.”

“Okay. I’ll protect the little one. Let’s go, my friend.”

“All right.”

No. 26 shrank down and climbed onto the back of PS-111. One Sea Demon and one Mutant Screamer disappeared into the forest.

Only after seeing them follow, Ort lowered his head as if he had come to his senses. The emotions that had been spreading out in the form of disorderly thoughts also gradually calmed down.

Ham Ort barely managed to come to his senses and looked up at me.

“You” “Black compatriot?”

[Z (Yeah)]

“The Daughter of a Meteorite” “You” “Story” “A Lot” “Did” “You” “The Daughter of a Meteorite” “Taught”

As I nodded, thinking it was true, Ham Ort bent his front legs in front of me and lowered his head slightly.

“Ham Ort” “Thank You” “The Daughter of the Meteor” “What Saved You” “What Cared for You”

The guy who briefly expressed his gratitude immediately straightened up. I could sense a complex emotion from the amethyst eyes looking at me.

“But” “The Daughter of the Star” “Because of You” “The Savior” “I Gave Up” “Odd Grad” “The Same Race” “All” “I Will Kill”

[Zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu (That won’t happen)]

I’ll stop him before he does something like that.

Ham Ort shook his head and denied what I said.

“Odd Grad” “Lies” “Compatriots” “Deceive” “Companions” “Young Compatriots” “Deceived” “Compatriots” “Odd Grad” “Order” “Follow” “Ham Ort” “Black Compatriots” “Strength” “Not Enough”

[Z (really?)]

“Black Kindred” “Strong” “But” “Odd Grad” “The Crowd” “More”

He’s the guy who fought me before, so he knows how strong I am. He probably wants to point out the numerical superiority of the enemy forces.

Of course, what he said isn’t wrong. If I had fought Odd Grad when I first encountered him, I would have lost.

‘Not now, though.’

But Ham Ort, unaware of that fact, seemed to want to convince me to avoid a fight. The guy shot the thought wave with desperation.

“Odd Grad” “Strong” “Daughter of the Meteor” “You” “Precious” “I think” “Then” “Survival” “More” “Important”

[Zuuuu zuuuu zuuuu zuuuuu zuuuuu zuuuuu (To save Adhai, you have to kill Odd Grad)]

“Black People” “Give Up” “Aren’t You Going To Do It?”

[Z zu zu zu zu zu zu (Yes. Odd Grad dies by my hand)]

“… ”

Ham Ort no longer sent out thought waves but instead glared at me in the eye.

I can sense the guy’s anxious feelings. But my intentions remain the same. I intend to kill the black dragon who screwed me over by any means necessary.

“Okay” “Ham Ort” “Black Kind” “I Believe”

[Zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu (Okay. Tell me about the situation when you fought that guy)]

“Ask a question” “Ask a question”

The guy who had been staring at me for a while finally gave up on persuading me. I started to ask him the questions I wanted to ask him one by one.

–

A huge canyon located across the frozen plains.

As you approach this deep canyon, which is so deep that it is faster to count in hundreds of meters, or even kilometers, you will hear a strange sound. It is the sound of wind passing through the huge ice canyon, a sound similar to the scream of an animal in pain.

Although it is a natural phenomenon, other creatures in the area are reluctant to approach the canyon because of the ominous sound. The only being who can freely enter and exit this canyon is the king of beasts who rules over this area.

However, the king of beasts had not been seen recently. It was not known whether he was in hiding or had left the canyon.

Instead, beings of a different form would occasionally enter the valley. Not knowing that this was the king’s territory, they would slaughter any living creatures they came across. They would kill anything that moved, whether it was a living thing or a plant. As a result, the valley, which originally had few living creatures, became a completely dead land.

The bizarre beings that had finished their slaughter today also entered the valley, leading chunks of meat.

The inside of the canyon was so deep that it should have been filled with nothing but darkness. As they came down, the red lights hidden in the darkness began to blink one by one.

After descending for a long time, they finally reached what could be called the bottom. They threw the chunks of meat they had brought down while hanging over the canyon.

Then, a red light that was incomparably larger than before opened its eyes and swallowed the chunk of meat in an instant.

“Mission to reconnoitre the surrounding area and secure energy sources completed.”

“The source of danger inside the supervolcano is currently unknown. Investigation is ongoing.”

“Traces of humanoid creatures active on this planet have been discovered. Their identities are presumed to be those of ‘Megacorp’. It has been confirmed that they have moved to investigate a giant volcano.”

“Anomalous weather patterns were observed on the planet two days ago. Based on the accumulated weather data and comparative analysis, it has been determined that the weather anomaly was caused by a battle between the planet’s native creatures.”

“Discovered while monitoring the nest of native creatures….”

They, or rather the mutant screamers, continued their report in a mechanical tone. Normally, they would have exchanged information they had gathered among themselves after a regular report, but today was different.

The red light that had swallowed the chunk of meat flashed again.

“Pira Eleven. Order.”

Everyone fell silent as the red light began to hum softly.

“The entity that caused the weather anomaly. When compared to the Starlink database, it is 82% similar to Special Objective A.”

An android whose body is being remodeled due to red light or major damage.

Said Pira Eleven, one of the highest ranking members of the Star Union Machinery Committee.

“Pira Eleven. Highest priority order announced. The 189 S-models and 20 PS-models remaining in the valley are to construct Special Objective A.”

“Confirmation of order.”

“command….”

At Pira Eleven’s words, countless red lights that had been sleeping opened their eyes.

An eerie sound mixed in with the canyon filled with the sound of the wind.
