Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 294

Episode 294 – Rest (1)
It has been 15 years since Heavenly Mother came to this world.
And the first time she met her deceased husband, ‘Father of the Earth’, was 10 years ago. Even after she became connected with Father of the Earth, she continued to interact with players for some time.
But she was already fed up with the endless struggles between players. The relationship didn’t last long. Perhaps it was meant to be from the moment she decided to share her fate with the inhabitants of this world.
However, that doesn’t mean there weren’t any players who had close relationships with her. Before she withdrew, there was one player who hung out with her.
That being is the 22nd ranked Coldblood player. He is the one who did not make it into the top 20 and thus did not see the ending.
The point at which the Heavenly Mother met the 22nd was ten years ago, that is, not long after she met the Earthly Father.
At the time, she is said to have been contemplating whether to help the still immature 22nd or stay with the Father of the Earth.
So after marriage, I lost contact with other players, but I kept in touch with No. 22 for about a year. At some point, No. 22 stopped contacting me, and that’s when our relationship ended.
She said that the device she used to contact the 22nd was left in a place known only to her. In order to reactivate the device, Heavenly Mother returned to the continent of Saintopia 02 on the planet PH-101.
She was able to do this because she gained wings upon reaching the higher level of deification, and similar to me, she gained the ability to travel at superluminal speeds. Furthermore, she is also small, so it would not be difficult for her to enter the planet while avoiding the cult’s surveillance network.
Before leaving, she said it would take about a week. In the meantime, the kids and I would wait on the planet where the Gallagon herd was staying.
This place, which Adhai calls ‘White Stone’, was once a planet within the Gorgon Swarm’s sphere of activity.
The Gorgon Swarms that roam the universe were a terror to ships, so no one ever came to this constellation on purpose. Since no one came to this constellation, no one knew that such a planet existed.
‘Even if you know, it doesn’t mean you can easily enter.’
As its nickname, White Stone, suggests, the entire surface of the planet is covered in ice. The average temperature is much lower than Aadhai’s homeworld, making it seem like it would be impossible for life to exist.
However, if you go down through the thick ice layer, a completely different world unfolds. Due to the geothermal heat emitted by the planet, an ecosystem has formed beneath the ice layer where life can live. There is a lake that could be called a sea, and some of the creatures that can be seen on the ice planet have also lived there.
The Adhai group settled down safely thanks to the psychic powers flowing out from the area where the geothermal energy was radiating.
This underworld is the new kingdom of the Gallagons.
And now the master of that kingdom is moving to defeat the foreign enemy.
“Goooooooooooo!”
A gigantic creature with the head of a mammoth and the body of a mix of a bear and a gorilla roars.
Two pairs of 6-meter-long giant tusks flew towards my abdomen at lightning speed. My wing arms and fighting arms reacted quickly and caught the tusks.
This ignorant predator that I was fighting was very strong and heavy. It actively used its strengths, putting its weight on its fangs to push me away. As a result, my legs took a step back.
But he has one misconception. He thinks that my power is stronger than his.
I tightened my grip on the four arms that held my mother. The muscles in my arms bulged out and twitched.
Soon, the bastard’s body began to slowly rise upward.
“Huh?”
The creature is flustered when its body is lifted while its teeth are still being held. It is only natural that it would be so, as it has never encountered an enemy stronger than itself while living in this underworld.
“Goooooo!”
My arms are tightly gripping the fangs, so I can’t get away. The creature knows this, so instead, it swings its developed front legs in a big way.
Those forelegs, resembling the front legs of a bear, are like living battering rams. Just as that monstrous weapon was about to strike down my wing arms, the two necks on either side of my head wrapped around the creature’s arms.
The two heads at the end of the long neck opened their mouths wide and bit the bastard’s shoulder and nape, respectively.
“Goooooooooo!”
“Grrrrrrr”
The beast howls in agony as its flesh is torn off. Its flesh and blood seep into its two mouths from inside its thick fur.
I was almost intoxicated by its sweetness, but I calmly gave the next command. The tentacles on the head in the center shook and emitted a unique wave.
[Zuzuzuzu (Now)]
The wide-spreading waves reached the ice ceiling above our heads. The gallagons that had been hanging and hiding from the ceiling spread their wings all at once.
The breath of Sha Belmarg, a white gallagoon with a long and lean physique, struck the back of the beast I was holding. The purple heat ray burned its back, but the wound was not serious.
Then, the breaths of the green-scaled Gallagons poured out from all sides and attacked the creature. A few of them hit my arm, but it didn’t hurt much.
“Gooooooh! Goooooooooo!”
But the guy didn’t suffer any major damage either. The vague pain seemed to have stimulated his anger instead.
Because the body of the guy facing me kept swelling up.
‘this.’
The teeth that had been embedded in the bastard’s shoulders and nape slowly came out. The bastard’s muscles were swollen and his skin was thick, so he couldn’t bite any longer.
In a matter of minutes, the creature had doubled in size. Now large enough to meet my gaze, it tried to push me back again. My feet were pushed back another step.
‘I thought it would be big because it was big, but this is….’
It was much more powerful than the Apex creatures I knew. Its size, strength, and fighting spirit were incomparable to those in the game. Just like the ‘Ice Horror’ I caught in the Dragon’s Nest before.
‘Should I use the symbol of the hunt?’
As I was thinking about pulling out a card I hadn’t used yet, a red light flashed behind him. Adhai flew in like a flash and struck the guy’s right leg.
The destructive power was truly terrifying, as the acceleration power of the horns protected by the ‘Red Armor’ was added. The legs of the thing, which were as thick as my tail, were turned into rags.
“That’s it!”
The furry predator let out a single scream and fell to the ground.
The venom in Hana’s eyes still remained. His elephant-like nose stretched out and he aimed after Adhai.
The sharp teeth on the tip of the nose flew in to rip off the Red Gallagon’s attractive tail. To stop them, my two heads grabbed the creature’s long nose.
“Goooooo!”
When I missed Adhai at the last minute, the creature became very angry. It raised its two front legs and slammed them hard on the ground. The ground shook as if there was an earthquake and my body was thrown to one side.
Because of that, the strength left my arms that were holding onto the monster’s fangs, and the monster’s fangs pierced my chest without any hindrance.
No, I almost got pierced.
“Huh?”
If the bastard’s fangs had grown to match his growing body whenever he got angry, it might have been dangerous. If not, the bastard’s fangs only managed to break off part of my thoracic shell.
I corrected my posture, which was leaning to one side, and pushed the thing hard with all my strength in my arms. The giant monster, which stood 40 meters tall, was pushed back by a large amount.
I put some distance between myself and the guy and used my ‘variable bio-weapon’.
The body part that changed was my head. The shells on my head mutated into a shape similar to the head of an Ice Horror.
Its only merits are that it is heavy and solid, but that alone is enough. The three bio-hammers hit the bastard hard.
“Wha?!”
The man who had been hit in the remaining leg, abdomen, and head vomited blood profusely. Perhaps his sense of direction was damaged, he staggered and fell backward.
“Adhai’s horde!” “Attack!”
The moment I heard Adhai’s thought wave from behind, I quickly fell to my knees. I saw dozens of psychic breaths flying over my back. At the end of them was an immobile prey.
“Goooooooo!”
“Strength” “More” “More!” “More!”
The purple breaths gradually became thicker as if Adhai’s encouragement was effective. The Green Gallagon, White Gallagon, and Adhai who had participated in the hunt poured out their dragon’s breath with all their might.
and.
“That, thatoooo… .”
The beast that had been tormenting me and the Gallagons groaned in a pitiful state.
Its name is Giganterium. It is an Apex creature that excels at land combat.
He is immune to all types of poison, mind control, and physical restraint techniques, and his physical abilities are also very impressive. Not only that, whenever he gets angry, his body grows bigger, and his strength, defense, and speed all increase, making him quite difficult to deal with.
‘It’s especially notorious among cults.’
There is no way to block his movements, so close combat is forced, and as you can see, he is an Apex specialized in close combat. You can’t defeat him with just average skills.
Even if you try to catch it from a distance with a psychic attack, its hide is so tough that it is not easy to break through. Attacking it from a distance is counterproductive as it only provokes its rage without killing it.
As can be seen from these characteristics, Gallagon is a very difficult enemy.
Actually, before Adhai and I came back, the Gallagons were said to have been having a hard time because of that guy. Ham Ort came forward and tried to drive him out, but failed to kill him every time.
‘It can’t be helped.’
As if I was dealing with an already difficult enemy, the Giganterium in front of me was something out of the norm.
As far as I know, the size of Giganterium is between 8 and 10 meters. Even if it were angry, I’ve never seen one that was over 20 meters tall.
But that monster’s body before it gets angry is 20m long. Its fangs are also more than three times as long. When it gets angry, it becomes so large that it is about the same height as me.
Looking at that, it is clear that even Ham Ort is a difficult opponent to defeat.
‘The location isn’t that good either.’
Since this is an underground space under the ice layer, it is an unfavorable environment for Gallagon. It is difficult to fly, and Black Gallagon’s unique ability, ‘Maelstrom’, is sealed.
‘He was such a monster, yet somehow he defeated him.’
I looked at the Adhai and Gallagons gathered around the Giganterium.
This conquest operation was not planned by me, but by Adhai. I was merely acting as bait. The ones who defeated the formidable enemy were not me, but the dragons of the underground kingdom.
‘What a peculiar guy.’
Among the Gallagons, I see a guy with his head held high and his wings spread. It feels strange to see him planning his own operation and hunting down a formidable enemy with his kin.
At that moment, my eyes met with Adhai’s. He flew towards me.
“Big man” “Me” “Did you do well?”
[Zuzu zuzuzuzu (It was very good)]
“Yeah” “Me” “Star’s Daughter” “Great”
The guy seemed to like my compliments, as he waggled his tail diligently. Looking at his tail, which was so smooth and spotless, I couldn’t help but feel like poking it with my finger.
“Big adult”
[Huh?]
That’s when the guy called me.
“Big man” “Hunting” “Ball” “Set up” “Bait” “Very” “Important”
[Zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu (You guys were the ones who caught that guy)]
“Big man” “If there isn’t one” “Same race” “Hurt” “So” “Sir”
As the guy slightly nodded his head, the Gallagons surrounding the Giganterium all retreated.
“Big man” “Head” “Need it” “I’ll give in”
[Zzuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (You’re giving me your head?)]
“huh”
This time, it was a hunt for the guys. So I deliberately didn’t wear any hunting symbols and just focused on being the bait, but who would’ve thought the guys would come out like this?
‘Well, because I said I’d give it to you.’
Dozens of purple eyes were shining brightly as they looked at me, so I couldn’t help but refuse. I petted Adhai and then approached Giganterium.
“that….”
The tenacious vitality has now become poison. The Giganterium, completely bruised, is gasping for breath and hoping to die quickly.
I bit the bastard’s head with my central head. My jaw tightened and my teeth pierced through the skin and hide and sunk into the skull. The bastard convulsed once and then fell back.
After killing the Giganterium, I used my strength to pull back the head I was biting. The bastard’s neck trembled and was pulled out along with part of its spine.
The other Gallagons were fixated on my heads and mouth, as if they were interested in my meal.
‘then.’
I swallowed the steaming head while the Gallagons stared at me. The spine and pieces of flesh were eaten by the heads on either side.
‘The trait won’t show up anyway…’
“Predation effect activated!”
“bowl?”
A translucent text box that appears as soon as the food goes down the throat.
The head next to me licking the dripping blood expressed the emotions I felt very clearly.
