Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 252
Only Noblemtl
Ep. 251
–
Captain Baltajei, who was assigned to the 8th Fleet of the 12th Fleet and the Red Tail Fleet, and was temporarily assigned to a reconnaissance unit, is very excited right now.
Are you nervous about the upcoming battle? Or is it because it’s a large-scale operation involving four elite fleets?
Not everyone. He is a veteran soldier who has been through many battles. He is not a novice who gets excited by such things.
The reason he is excited is because the Grand Commander is participating in this battle.
Up until now, it has been rare for the highest dignity of the Star Union to personally go into battle. Even the cyborgs superior to Baltajei have rarely conducted operations with the Grand Commander.
But today he had the honor of walking the battlefield with that great leader.
‘Today is truly the best day ever.’
“Planetary siege in progress.”
“Okay. First, activate the warp finder, then activate the constellation surveillance radar. If anything abnormal occurs, report it immediately.”
“check.”
Aside from his heart pounding, his reason is working coolly. Since this is a battle in which the Grand Commander himself is participating, he absolutely cannot fail.
He began his scouting mission, synchronized with the ship’s computer.
As he was analyzing the data transmitted through the cable and giving orders, something strange caught his eye.
Two red marks that I had never seen before appeared on the 3D map of the constellations.
‘what?’
I thought I was seeing things, but I was wrong. One of them was still, away from the targeted planet.
And the other one is… .
“Enemy! Enemy! All scouts, prepare for battle!”
“Confirmed. Order delivered.”
A red light quickly approaching a ship attempting to initiate a siege.
Soon it started to split into many parts.
–
[Zuz …
“Worry” “Unnecessary” “Same-gender” “Strong”
I shot a thought wave that said I was proud of the Adhai next to me. Then, the other Gallagons following behind also scattered thoughts with feelings of agreement.
[Zuzuzuzuzuzu (Aim for the target)]
“huh”
“Ham Ort” “Remember”
I’m currently flying through space with 15 Gallagons.
The members are the same as when I fought Pira Eleven. Adhai who gained the power of Red Gallagon, Black Gallagon Ham Ort, and 13 White Gallagons are following me.
And at the end of the direction my snout is pointing, there are enemy ships.
33 large ships, and numerous patrol ships guarding the area. It is so large that it could be called a regular fleet rather than a reconnaissance force.
The enemies who discovered us quickly formed a battle formation.
Lights twinkle between the stars that are embedded like grains on a black background. Torpedoes and drones fired by them fly towards us.
The Gallagons, including Adhai, moved behind me without me having to say anything. My new body can’t hide 15 Gallagons, but that’s only in my normal state.
My body floating above the weightless space is incomparably larger than usual.
After hunting the Ice Horror in the past, I acquired the flesh-related fusion trait ‘Bone Beast’. This fusion trait has the effect of transforming me into a giant monster for 60 minutes.
When I fought Jason before, thanks to using the Bone Beast and the special state ‘King of Monsters’ from ‘Organic Evolution’ together, my body grew to almost 300m in height.
Of course, my body is not that big right now. This is because the cooldown of the organic evolution trait has not ended yet, so I cannot use it yet.
‘Still, it’s 80m long, so it’s big enough.’
Moreover, in the Jason War, they didn’t have wings, but not anymore. The wingspan alone is well over 100m, so it’s wider than it is long.
The black-covered carapace was double-layered with white carapace layers added by the bone beast transformation. To others, it would look like I was wearing the bones of a large monster like an ice horror.
‘Then shall we begin?’
I spread my huge wings to protect the Gallagons and headed towards the flying torpedoes and drones.
Even though there was no wind at all, the tentacles of the monster on my neck were shaking. It wasn’t the wind, but the psychic powers flowing out of its body that were moving the tentacles.
And then a psychic breath more powerful than ever before poured down on the subjects.
Every time the purple line moved, a fireworks display unfolded. The Star Union’s torpedoes were powerless in the face of the flames of the Bone Beast and the amplified supernatural power of the ‘Dragon’s Heart’.
The APD, which was a counter-superpower weapon, held out, but it could not avoid the torpedoes exploding at close range. The drones caught in the explosions exploded or malfunctioned and were launched into space.
Having nullified the first attack with a single blow, I charged towards the enemy ships. The special waves flowing from the membranes on my wings helped me move very nimbly even in space.
Likewise, the Gallagons also followed me, using psychic powers as a propellant.
They tried to pour down more fire, but I was already close to the scattered enemy ships.
The patrol ships surrounding the destroyer poured super-vibration torpedoes at me, but it was useless. The shells piled up in the middle prevented the vibrations from seeping inside.
I boarded one of the patrol ships, trusting in its defenses. There must have been chaos inside. A monster bigger than the ship they were on was holding the ship in its hands.
I picked up the corvette and threw it at another corvette that was firing torpedoes. The ship rocked wildly and flew away, crashing into the other ship.
A deathly flash appeared from the colliding ships. The X10-class destroyer, protected by the corvette, saw the sight and tried to retreat quickly.
‘Where are you going?’
I pulled out the erosion tentacles on the spot. The erosion tentacles, which had grown to the same size as the wings and body due to the Bone Beast effect, grabbed the back of the destroyer.
The cannon of the destroyer, which was about five times larger than me, was aiming at me and the erosion tentacle. I pulled the tentacle and pressed my body against the destroyer.
‘Is this the bridge?’
I poke my head into the slightly raised area on the top of the ship, where dozens of tiny cameras, surrounded by alloy casings, are filming my snout.
I opened my mouth wide in front of him. A green wave rose from the inside of my throat and poured down onto the outer wall of the destroyer.
All of Star Union’s ships are armed with overwhelming heavy armor, but they are useless in the face of a massive amount of acid. As their bodies have grown larger, the amount of acid fungi they can fire has also increased.
In the blink of an eye, the outer wall melted and the half-destroyed situation room of the bridge came into view. The cyborgs in the situation room were dizzy. It was unclear whether they were surprised to see me or were exposed to space.
I shot my enhanced psychic breath above to quickly end his suffering.
A large bubble with a diameter of at least 10 meters seeped into the ship. The cyborgs, who were struggling to survive, became prey to the greedy bubbles.
Seeing the cyborgs melting away while screaming silently reminds me of a classic American sci-fi creature movie, where a town is reduced to ashes by a pink slime monster flying in from outer space, and it’s very similar to what happens on the destroyer.
‘Then this… .’
After destroying the situation room and disabling the destroyer’s controls, I used my tentacles to grab the destroyer and forcefully pushed it towards the other enemies.
The destroyers that came to support their comrades collided with ships flying toward them. In the process, the psychic breath that entered the ship I threw moved to another ship in search of new prey. The destroyers that collided with their comrades’ ships were unable to even properly attack due to the psychic breath that had entered their interior.
Then I finished them off by shooting my normal psychic breath at the ones who were running around in confusion.
‘Okay. Let’s do it now.’
One of the destroyers that fell prey to the psychic breath contained a warp finder.
PS-111 said that five warp finders were deployed on three XAX-5 class fast battleships and two destroyers.
I just broke one, so now there are four left.
I checked out how the other guys were fighting while fighting the scouts that were rushing at me as if they were going to bite me.
In the distance, a cluster of red, black, and white stars swim across a sea of stars.
The red star that decorates the peak of the meteor shower rushes toward the patrol ships. The patrol ships that are pierced by the star explode one after another, decorating the black canvas.
The small patrol ships fired torpedoes and drones to catch the guy, but it was too fast for them to use. As if proving that the expression ‘meteor’ was not in vain, the red star moved at high speed and trampled the patrol ships.
The destroyer behind moves its cannon to eliminate the red star that is raging fiercely, but it is a trap. A black malevolent star with scales as dark as the universe attacks the destroyer.
Like a ferocious guard dog biting and suffocating its prey’s neck, the black star pressed its body against the destroyer and breathed out purple breath.
No matter how strong the outer wall of the destroyer is, it is impossible to survive being hit by the dragon’s breath at such close range. The long, narrow destroyer was split in two.
Cyborgs and androids poured out from inside. They floundered in the bottomless, infinite space and soon stopped moving.
The other ships spread out and tried to surround the two dragons, but the pure white vassals who serve the great daughter of the meteor would not tolerate this. The thirteen white dragons held them back by emitting psychic breath.
‘You’re fighting well.’
The destroyer that Ham Ort just destroyed is the one carrying the warp finder. This is the second one.
‘There are 3 left…’
At that moment, a torpedo that was incomparably larger than the torpedoes fired by other ships flew towards me.
I wrapped my erosion tentacles around the wreckage of the destroyer floating around, and threw it at the flying torpedo. It was a smart torpedo with AI, but I didn’t expect the Star Union-made ship to use it as a shield. The intense explosion shook the black space where there was nothing.
‘That’s a good thing.’
Beyond the explosion, I see a series of enemies. A ship larger than a destroyer, escorted by a patrol ship, is targeting me.
The ship that attacked me was a XAX-5 class battleship carrying one of the Warp Finders.
As if they had noticed my gaze, the men finished reloading and fired their torpedoes at me again.
A torpedo of a size that makes your heart shiver just looking at it is approaching at high speed. If I were hit by that, I would be seriously injured.
‘If only I hadn’t used the Bone Beast.’
I was hit hard by a torpedo right before it collided with me, and a huge shock and flames engulfed my body.
–
“Ha, haha, hahahaha! I’m dead! I killed that crazy monster!”
Baltajei, who was watching the explosion through the ship’s camera mounted on the outer wall of the battleship, cheered.
He was shocked to see the ‘Operational Objective’ throw the destroyer at his comrades. Even as a veteran soldier, he had never seen a monster do such an outrageous thing.
Especially when the guy who blocked the first shot turned his gaze this way, he felt chills in his stomach.
But it doesn’t matter now, because he was finished off by a torpedo fired from the battleship’s main gun.
“The remaining ships will continue to maintain their warp finders, and those monsters too… .”
“Warning. ‘Operational target’ survival confirmed.”
“what?”
Baltajei opened his eyes wide at the urgent report from the ship’s computer. Real-time video information recorded by the camera was transmitted to his eyes through the cable.
‘Sir, really?!’
Long arms rose from the black flames. Fire and smoke billowed as the membranes beneath the arms shook.
Behind it, the head of a creature with a long snout and large horns is faintly visible. Despite being hit directly by a torpedo, the creature appears to be intact except for a slight fracture to its head.
Cloudy eyes like a dead fish. The devil’s eyes were staring at Baltazei.
“Everyone, reload the main gun now! Kill that bastard!”
“check.”
As he screamed, the ‘operational target’ moved again. The black wings that sucked in all the light fluttered and the monster’s appearance grew rapidly. It was as if it was greatly enlarged because it was approaching so quickly.
The patrol ships and destroyers escorting the Baltic moved ahead to buy time.
Unfortunately, this was a mistake. Six tentacles sprouted from its back and grabbed the approaching corvettes. It swung its ship like a blunt weapon, smashing the approaching corvettes.
The destroyers tried to keep their distance and fire at the thing, but it was meaningless. Purple heat rays shot out from the bundle of tentacles on its neck and destroyed the destroyers.
‘Ugh, I have to retreat…!’
The order Baltaje received was to buy time until the main force arrived. The main force still needed more time to arrive.
“After firing the main gun, back at full speed… .”
The moment he was about to give the order, the ship shook violently. It was a strong shock, like being hit by the main gun of another battleship.
He slumped forward in his chair and saw the bastard’s head. The bastard was now facing the ship’s camera, his mouth wide open.
“Hee, heek!”
The overwhelming fear did not last long.
As the purple flames melted the entire bridge and the fragile cyborg’s body.
