Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 232



Only Noblemtl

Ep. 231

–

Oddgrad’s companion, Charumera, was unbelievable.

The great black male is undefeated. No matter what crisis he faces, the leader leads his pack to victory. Although Charumera is not old, he has never seen Odd Grad defeated.

So I thought it would be the same today.

I will sweep away the traitors and feast on their blood.

But reality turned out differently from what she had expected.

The male she loved was nowhere to be seen, and instead a black star appeared. It appeared with wings like a blizzard and stood next to the small female.

There was no one in this place who did not know what this meant.

“Liar Odd Grad” “I lost!”

A small leader protected by a black murderer shouts.

“Great Odd Grad” “Defeat” “Impossible!”

“Defeat” “Impossible!”

The other companions deny the female’s words and rush towards her.

Even if all the companions combined, they couldn’t defeat Odd Grad. The black murderer who defeated Odd Grad must be much stronger.

Unfortunately, this time her prediction was correct.

One of the white companions breathed at the dwarf female, and the black killer spread his wings and wrapped them around his leader.

The force of the companion did not damage the wing at all. While the creature was blocking it, the small leader turned around and charged towards the companion.

The companion, who was breathing heavily, tried to dodge belatedly, but it was too late. The leader pierced the companion’s body before he could dodge.

Meanwhile, the black murderer moved to capture his young companion who was fighting two enemies alone.

A pure white queen who moves slowly due to her injured wings and a small being who uses ominous powers. The companion who was fighting the two was completely unaware that a black murderer had appeared.

Although he was originally a companion who loved to fight, he now seemed half-mad. Like his immature compatriots who were drunk on blood from fighting, he was solely focused on attacking the pure-white queen, Ham Ort.

The young companion, who had succeeded in approaching the pure-white queen, held onto Ham Ort tightly with both forelegs. The young companion, who had pressed his body close, let out a breath, and Ham Ort barely managed to avoid the force by twisting his flexible neck.

Even though the attack failed, the young companion did not give up and gathered his strength again.

“danger!”

Charuvera warned her urgently, but she did not listen. The price of not listening to a warning was never light.

A black murderer appeared like a shadow behind the young companion. The many arms attached to the creature grabbed the young companion. The power gathered at the corners of the companion’s mouth dispersed like snow blown by the wind.

And Ham Ort unleashed the power he had gathered towards his young companion’s head. It wasn’t a strong power for a pure white queen, but it was enough to blow away the head of her compatriot.

It wasn’t long before the black murderer showed up again and three people were already dead.

It was only then that I realized it was Charuvera.

The Odd Grad horde lost the fight against that horde.

Charumera looked at her companion who had been fighting alongside her. The two nodded as their thoughts coincided.

“There is a 93% chance that the enemies will escape.”

A metallic creature riding on top of the white-clad Nell Germa emits waves along with strange noises. It must be ordering them to pursue. The two run away with all their might.

Charuvera is the second fastest in this position after the small leader. The Grass Tribe and Nel Germa cannot chase her.

Although his companion, who had been running away beside him, fell behind more and more, Charuvera paid no attention to him.

She must leave her hometown and run away to the stars in the sky. There, they will not be able to follow her.

At that moment, a snake appeared and swallowed the companion who was lagging behind.

She thought her heart stopped beating when she saw her companion disappear, leaving only the tip of his tail behind.

There was a huge snake there. A snake with thousands, if not tens of thousands of heads, so big that it covered the sky.

The moment she saw the snake’s tail, she could tell what it was.

It was a gathering of power of such enormous magnitude that she could not have imagined.

None of her kind could wield such awesome power, not even the great Odd Grad, her greatest lover.

The serpent that swallows the sky flicks its tongue to eat her.

She ran away with all her might, as if she was breaking out of an egg.

A snake moves closer behind her tail.

Charuvera didn’t want to die. She still had so many things she wanted to do and eat. She couldn’t die here.

As she was flying with that thought, she suddenly felt a strong shock in her chest.

The strength left her body with an intense pain, as if she had been stabbed by some small, sharp chunk of metal.

That was her last memory.

–

‘what?’

The White Gallagon, which was running away from the psychic breath I shot, suddenly slowed down. I don’t know why the guy who was running away like crazy just now gave up on life.

‘That’s why I couldn’t aim properly.’

The output of the psychic breath I fired after obtaining the Dragon’s Heart was beyond my imagination. Previously, it was in the form of a refined energy ray, but now its shape has changed. Perhaps because it emitted a huge amount of energy at once, it was in the form of a blazing flame.

‘Thanks to the Nightmare Horizon, the firepower has increased.’

Nightmare Horizon enhances the effects of the only trait you have. Seeing that the firepower of your breath is higher than in the game, it is clear that Dragon Heart has benefited from it as well. It not only provides near-infinite energy, but also increases the firepower of your psychic power attacks. If you later acquire a new trait that consumes psychic power, you will also benefit from the enhanced Dragon Heart.

‘Is the power half that of the God’s Whirlwind?’

Even though the firepower is slightly lower, this is much better. Unlike the Whirlwind of God, this can be fired continuously.

‘It would be great to fight the fleet.’

It’s a shame to blow away the enemy’s genetic essence, but let’s consider it a good experience.

The tentacle that had moved to shoot the breath sagged and turned its head, and Ham Ort approached me. There was a strange light in his amethyst-like eyes. He must have been surprised because he had never seen a psychic breath of this strength before.

“Black kin” “Strength” “Very” “Very” “Strong” “Amazing”

[Zuzu (body?)]

“Problem” “Nothing” “Small Being” “Ham Ort” “Help”

The Heavenly Mother poked her head out between the boy’s broken horns.

“What was that just now? It was psychic breath, but why is the output like that?”

[Zuz …

“But does it still become that strong? Is it because of the effect of the symbol of hunting?”

[Zuuuuuuu (maybe so)]

“That’s right… No, that’s not the point. You crazy morph-bag!”

She paused mid-sentence, took a short breath, and then spewed out her thoughts at a rapid-fire rate.

“You deliberately made it so we realized it late to avoid foreshadowing, didn’t you? Do you know how much trouble we’ve had because of you?”

[Zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzuzu (I must have left the window behind?)]

“If you just leave the window, how are we supposed to know? We need to know where the fight is going to take place. That’s why we searched the whole area around here!”

[Zuzuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu (I thought that if I fought anyway, you would see it too)]

“Oh, let me stop talking.”

The amber eyes inside her eye sockets trembled as if to reflect her emotions. It was the first time since her fight with Muriel that she had shown such an emotional reaction.

‘…Maybe I was a bit harsh?’

There was no other way to capture Odd Grad. In fact, my operation was successful.

However, apart from that, it is also true that the Heavenly Mother was shocked by my actions. On the contrary, if she had acted similarly, I would have been quite confused as well.

[Zuz …

She shook her bird-skull-shaped head.

“I know what you were thinking, but I wish you would mind. It’s okay for me, but not for them.”

Her finger points behind me. When I turn around, there is Adhai and No. 26.

“Big man” “Too much” “Me” “Being abandoned” “Very” “Very” “I hate it”

I was speechless when I heard the guy’s heartfelt thoughts. As I sat still, the guy came over and scratched my scalp with his claws.

“Still” “Really” “Thrown Away” “No”

I guess this means they’ll let it slide.

I was trying to express my gratitude when number 26 jumped up from the guy’s head.

“Bad kid! Really, really bad kid!”

Number 26 emitted a wave of intensity I had never seen before and stretched out its tentacles. The tentacles, which had expanded to their original size, struck my head.

‘Ugh?!’

I thought my neck was going to break because he hit me so hard. A message popped up saying that pain relief had been activated, and my skull caved in.

“A bad child who bullies children and abandons his family will get a beating!”

The body of the guy who said that was completely white.

This is the first time I’ve seen him since he was forcibly administered psionium on the Megacorp research vessel a long time ago. That’s how shocking it must have been for him to have left.

In the end, I only had one thing to say to the guy who was running wild.

[Zuzuzu (I’m sorry)]

Did he understand the sincerity in my apology? The guy who was about to hit me with his tentacles stopped.

After a while, the guy’s body gradually turned pink again. The guy with the smaller tentacles moved from Adhai’s head to my head.

“You won’t do anything bad from now on, right?”

[Yeah]

“If you do something bad, you’ll get in trouble. I’ll beat you up.”

[Z (Yeah)]

The guy curled the tip of his tentacles into a ball and shook them as if he were making a fist. I guess it was a warning not to do that again.

‘Mother in Heaven is right.’

They are not my slaves, or tools for my use. They are beings who move with me of their own free will. They are truly precious to me.

I’ve always lived alone, both in games and in real life, but not here.

The strategy I took this time was to exploit their minds. It turned out to be right, but it ended up hurting them.

‘It’s never a good thing in the long run.’

For me or for the kids.

Although Odd Grad is a unique entity, there is a good chance that we will encounter enemies with foresight in the future. When that happens, I will review the tactics I used yesterday. I have survived until now because I have not been picky about the means and methods.

But now that I know the risks of this operation, I don’t plan on doing the same thing. In the long run, it’s in my interest to maintain a positive relationship with the kids.

After hearing my apology, No. 26 was no longer angry. Of course, he still had some grudge left, so he kept tapping his horn with his tentacles.

“I don’t really disagree. The choice of ‘Aimop’ ultimately produced the best results. I think there is something to learn from.”

“… Don’t learn that kind of thing.”

First of all, Odd Grad and his companions were all dead.

Now all that was left were the hordes of Gallagons who had withdrawn from the fight. Those who had been watching us from afar flinched when they felt our gaze.

‘What will they do?’

It would be a great gain for me if I could eat them all, but I don’t know what Adhai would think.

At that moment, a skinny white gallagoon flew towards us.

“Me” “Sha Belmag” “Odd Grad” “Defeat” “Admit”

The man who introduced himself as Sha Belmagra was Gallagon, the first of the Odd Grad group to refuse battle.

“Sha Belmag” “New Leader” “Serving” “Request” “Mercy” “Plead”

As the waves of surrender sent by the guy began to spread, the other Gallagons also lowered their battle stance and approached us.

I looked at the remaining Gallagons. There weren’t many White Gallagons, and most of them were Green Gallagons.

Currently, I have completed all the Apex requirements. I can get some decent traits from White Gallagons, but not Green Gallagons. There are no new traits to take from them.

‘And the symbolic time of the hunt is running out.’

Even if we catch them right now, we won’t get much genetic essence.

After thinking about it, I looked at Adhai.

[Zuzu zuzu (you decide)]

“Big man” “Stronger” “Me” “Rights” “None”

[Zuzuzuzuz zuuzuz zuuzuz zuuzuz zuuzuz zuuzuzuz zuuzuzuz (You’ve been worrying ever since you were kicked out of the group. It’s time to stop worrying.)]

“!”

Adhai, who understood my wavelength, opened his eyes wide.

There is no other reason why I gave the choice to him.

Even after being with me, Adhai occasionally showed signs of being haunted by his past where he was driven out due to his disability.

I plan to continue to take Adhai with me in the future. So far, the pain of the past has not directly caused any problems, but there is no guarantee that it will in the future.

So I’m trying to give him a chance to heal his pain.

There’s no real downside to this guy choosing war to vent his hatred for the pack. I won’t get the full effect of the symbol, but I’ll probably get a genetic essence or two from killing all those Gallagons.

What if, on the other hand, the guy chooses forgiveness?

That’s not bad either. Gallagon is a powerful combat creature. You won’t be able to carry it around all the time, but when you’re attacking an important planet, there’s no other ally as solid as this one.

Adhai’s gaze shifted slowly towards me. He glanced at our group one by one.

Number 26 in my head, me, PS-111 and Nel Germa, the Green Gallagons behind them, and Ham Ort and the Sky Mother.

The guy who had met everyone’s gaze like that finally made a decision and turned his head forcefully to face the remnants of Odd Grad.

“I” “Daughter of Ham Ort” “Adhai!” “Children of Odd Grad” “Obey!” “Obey!”

“Sha Belmaag” “Great Adhai” “Serving”

“Jerkapcha” “Great Adhai” “Serving”

“Odd Zia” “Great Adhai” “Island…”

Beginning with Sha Belmarg, all the Gallagons in this place bowed their heads to Adhai. The sight was similar to when Adhai got drunk on seeing me in the past.

It was an attitude of adoration towards the new queen.

–

“Second target life response lost.”

“Special Objective A has been confirmed to have been subdued. Combat with the dangerous creature ‘Gallagon’ has ended.”

“Based on primitive logic, it is confirmed that Special Objective A has merged with the ‘Gallagon’ group.”

“Based on the results of the battle simulation, if we continue the battle in its current state, there is a 17% chance of defeating Special Objective A.”

“Reporting the status to Main Controller Pira Eleven.”

A dark forest with little sunlight.

There were little lights twinkling like fireflies, but on this icy planet such glows were by no means a natural phenomenon.

In the first place, it is unlikely that hundreds of blood-red lights flashing and making unknown sounds would be a normal natural phenomenon.

“Main Controller Pira Eleven’s corrective order has been confirmed. We will preemptively strike the enemy’s base.”

“The side mission remains as is. Some of the energy sources needed after the strike are collected.”

“Confirmed. Requesting command sharing.”

“check.”

As if something had been decided, the halo of light suddenly disappeared. The voices that came out every time the light flashed also suddenly stopped.

Instead, a sharp metallic sound resonated and the bushes and trees began to sway.

A creepy and ominous movement within the forest.

It was a sight never seen from above.
