Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 332
Only Noblemtl
‘I don’t know what you’re thinking, but….’
This time, things won’t go as planned.
Just before boarding the personal airship, the sword hanging from his waist briefly flashed.
It was similar to the eerie light that bathed the warehouse.
–
The airship carrying Isabel and the Cult Ranker flies to the outskirts of the city.
Despite being protected by shields, the ship continued to shake. In fact, considering what was happening outside the ship, this level of vibration was nothing.
Not long after the airship surfaced, a massive shockwave shook the entire biodome surrounding the city.
Is this what it would feel like to be in the middle of an erupting volcano’s crater?
Isabel had never experienced such an intense burst of energy, or the results.
Beyond the airship’s glass windows, a large hole can be seen in the biodome.
The walls that make up the dome are not single walls, but rather multi-layered structures. And the gaps between the walls are between tens and hundreds of meters. Even when bombarded by orbital weapons such as the Thunder God, it is rare for the walls of the dome to be penetrated.
However, it would be safe to say that the current dome was virtually destroyed.
Walls collapsed, buildings were set ablaze, and the city became an absolute hell as countless ships crashed in the wake of energy explosions.
The image of a beautiful city representing Berzan02 could not be found anywhere.
“That crazy guy. He’s determined to destroy the city.”
The cultist muttered as he looked at the disaster reflected on the other side of the glass. His voice was devoid of any emotion, contrary to what he said.
‘What on earth are you thinking?’
The opponent has lived in this world longer than Isabel. Not only is his personal power considerable, but his power is also considerable.
But it means nothing in front of the infamous ranker, Aimov. In the game, he was hunting rankers even before he entered the rankings.
Moreover, seeing as he destroyed the bio dome, it was clear that he had become much stronger than in the game. Perhaps he had acquired a trait that did not exist in the game.
The other person must have known that. I couldn’t understand why he was taking such a relaxed attitude when he could have run away right away.
“I guess you’re wondering why I’m doing this.”
“… … .”
“Well, it’s not just any other guy, it’s ‘that Aimov’, so you’d think he’d be taking it easy. Especially the 14th ranked Naburangi.”
“…No matter what you prepare, it will be difficult to beat him.”
From Isabel’s perspective, it was to her advantage to have her enemies suffer at the hands of Aimoff, but she couldn’t say it honestly.
She has to protect those she hates the most. It’s because of the contract Cynthia made when she saved her life in the past. That’s why she hid her true feelings and responded obediently.
“I guess so. If you’re alone.”
“alone?”
While the two were talking, the airship reached its destination.
‘Here?’
When I got down, I saw that it was a familiar place.
“Are you thinking of holding a sit-in at home?”
“Similar, but slightly different.”
The other person just kept saying ambiguous things that seemed like they might or might not make sense.
The two entered a mansion that looked relatively simple. Normally, the slaves who managed the mansion should have come out to greet them, but they all ran away, so there wasn’t a single one to be seen.
Well, except for one person.
“You came.”
A cult with familiar faces greeted visitors to the mansion.
Two cultists standing facing each other.
Strangely enough, the two were exactly alike, as if they were mirror images. They had sleek, silvery hair, and even the tips of the yak horns on their temples.
It wasn’t just the appearance that was similar. Even the voice was exactly the same, as if it had been recorded and played.
Isabelle also looks exactly like her twin sister Penelope, but not quite as similar. The two cults she’s looking at are identical, as if they were made in a factory.
“Isabel, I don’t think I need to explain this further.”
“Because you’ll see the privileges I have.”
Isabel nodded at their words.
‘Simulacrum’.
The ability to create duplicates of oneself by consuming large amounts of energy.
This is the unique ability of Alshas, who was once ranked 14th and currently commands the imperial carrier ‘Defender of Berzan 02’.
Although there are psychic techniques that create clones in games, Alshas’s ability is truly out of the norm. This is because it is cloned with the same self, abilities, and equipment as the original. If someone fights Alshas, it is expected that they will fight multiple rankers.
Of course, there are some fatal flaws, but the advantages outweigh them so they are not a big problem.
‘But that alone won’t be enough to defeat Aimov.’
It’s true that Simulacrum is a powerful perk, but it’s not enough to subdue Aimov. If he fought him a few times, he would definitely be able to figure out Alshas’ weaknesses.
“Ready?”
“It’s all over.”
“Okay. Guide us.”
“Isabel too?”
“Isabel will fight with us anyway. Right?”
To Alshas’ question about ‘who brought the airship’, Isabel nodded silently.
“Well, it’s ‘my’ decision, so there shouldn’t be a problem. Follow me.”
‘Alshas in the mansion’ guided the two to the elevator inside the mansion. As the three got on, the elevator began to descend quickly.
“What about them? They came up with this plan.”
“You don’t have to say anything. That guy hates Morphbak so much. He’s so passionate that it’s unnecessarily annoying.”
“It must be a memory from decades ago, but it’s still poisonous. What a cowardly person.”
“That’s not for us to say.”
“I guess that’s true.”
The elevator that was going down endlessly stopped.
As the door opened, a pungent smell enveloped Isabel’s antennae. It was like the smell of melted asphalt. It was so bad that it made her antennae tingle.
Alshas and the clone got off the elevator as if nothing had happened. The first thing she saw as she followed them out was an enormous underground cavern.
“This is a space dug up under the pretext of building a hover bus center.”
“Well, the project fell through in the middle.”
“It doesn’t matter, since this was the intention from the beginning.”
“According to the original plan, we should have dug more.”
“It can’t be helped, the situation has changed. If it’s on this scale, there won’t be a problem.”
A space so large that several battleships could fit inside.
There was a structure in the middle of it.
The organic tissue was clumped together in a ring shape about 200 meters in size, and a translucent membrane covered the inside of the ring. The vertical ring touched the ceiling and the floor, and the part that touched it was covered with a sticky mucous membrane.
She knows what that biological structure is.
Its name is ‘Bio Portal’. It is the means of transportation mainly used by Outspacers.
Alshas planned to bring in a large number of Outspacers to fight Aimov.
–
Metal rains down from the sky. Molten steel, lumps of various materials and metals pour down like a downpour.
Who would believe that just a few minutes ago those were the outer walls of a biodome, or a cult battleship?
The bio-dome surrounding the water fortress where I stand has a massive hole in it. It’s all the result of the psychic breath I fired.
Thanks to the activation of ‘Tyrantroid’, the energy output increased several times more than usual. This resulted in an unintended result.
‘I was only planning to clean up the battleships and the Eye of Revelation Priests.’
I didn’t know that the bio dome, which boasted such powerful defenses, could be destroyed. I’ve destroyed it many times in the game, but this is the first time I’ve destroyed it with my own strength. My favorite method was to crash the imperial carrier floating in the planet’s orbit to destroy the dome.
‘It was different from what I expected, but it turned out well.’
Tyrantroid’s effects become stronger the more severe my injuries become, so the power of Psychic Breath doesn’t end here.
‘It’s perfect, except that it’s hard to use as I wish.’
The overwhelming power I felt just before the monster’s tentacles breathed out was no longer felt. The vitality that had enveloped my entire body was rapidly diminishing.
Due to the regenerative property, the Tyrantroid effect decreases as the body recovers.
“Wow! Seriously!”
At that moment, a familiar yet strong wave was felt from behind. It was the wave shot by No. 26, who had grown larger.
“The big baby is going to get sick, so be careful!”
The guy stroked my damaged body with his large tentacles.
Currently, I am much larger due to the Tyrantroid’s augmentation effect. Although it is not as extreme as the ‘Bone Beast’ enlargement, I would say I am at least 1.5 times larger.
The size of the tentacles of No. 26 that were caressing my wounds was no less than my changed body. It wasn’t because of the ‘Fear of the Deep’ effect, but the guy was actually quite large.
According to the settings, the Sea Demon is between 20 and 30 meters in size, but when entering battle, it can temporarily inflate its body to a larger size. Thanks to this, the current guy is so majestic that he can be called a sea devil.
‘Of course the actions are still the same.’
“Doesn’t your injury hurt?”
[Zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzu (It’s okay, you’ll get better soon)]
“Due to the dramatically enhanced metabolism, damaged cells and tissues are repaired at a very rapid rate.”
As PS-111, who was riding on my shell, said. The shells that were broken by the Slayer and the main gun are slowly regenerating, although not very quickly.
I stretched out my winged arms and patted the guy who had entered battle mode. Every time my enlarged body moved, the buildings around me shook violently.
As the enemy was incinerated in an instant, Adhai and the Heavenly Mother also flew near me.
“Big man” “Very” “Very” “Big man!”
Adhai seemed to be very pleased with my changed appearance and the destruction I had shown him. I could tell how he was feeling by the way he jumped around on my back.
“Is it because I shot it while it was strengthened by Tyrantroid? Its breath is almost at the level of Red Gallagon.”
[Zuzuzuzuzuzuzu (Not that much)]
“What the heck? You made the water fortress look like this.”
The Heavenly Mother sticks out her tongue as she looks at the mess of the dome. She knows very well how difficult it is to destroy a bio-dome, so she takes such an attitude.
‘It seems like the enemies inside the fortress have been roughly dealt with.’
There is still time before the fleet stationed off-planet arrives.
Before that, we need to check the enemies who are presumed to be rankers.
[Zzuzuzu zzuzuzu (Is Alshas next?)]
“maybe.”
The vice-captain of the Eye of Revelation Priests was also a strong candidate for a ranker, but he disappeared without a trace due to my breath.
“Before you go, I would like to request that you check the Coldblood that ‘Little Brother’ brought.”
‘Ah. That’s right.’
I forgot.
The area where the slaves’ quarters were located was far from the center and was not affected by the flood. However, with the dome having collapsed significantly, it is doubtful whether the caves they were hiding in are still intact.
‘If those guys die, it’s a total bust.’
[Zuzuzu zuuzu zuuzu zu (Get on it because it’s going to move)]
“huh!”
Number 26 shrank down to about 20 meters in size and climbed on top of me. It felt like a huge water balloon was wrapping around my back, which was quite a strange feeling.
“Narrow” “Body” “More” “Reduce”
“It can’t be done because a bad person might appear.”
“If you don’t wrap your tentacles around it, it might fall. Please hold on tighter.”
“… I know this isn’t the time to say this, but you look a bit odd.”
I spread my wings wide with the kids on board. The Tyrantroid effect slowed my movements down, but it wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t fly. Even in this state, I was much faster than a personal airship.
With a few flaps of my wings, my body rose upward. I flapped my wings vigorously and headed towards the warehouse where the slaves were hiding.
Within a few minutes, I arrived at the area where the slaves’ quarters were gathered, and landed carefully on the ground.
“What the heck, it’s a monster!”
“Eww!”
The city residents who saw me started screaming and running around. Among them were the warriors and priests.
Left and right heads darted between the buildings, their mouths wide open, sucking in dozens of cultists.
While replenishing the energy expended in this way, he brought his wing arms closer to the ground to help the MPS-05 land easily.
[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzu (go and help them)]
“Okay. Okay.”
