Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 393



Only Noblemtl

‘Eimov.’

In the N-51 system, Megacorp’s territory and the place where the Queen died, a battle is in full swing. The punitive force led by Akira, the leader of the ruling faction, is fighting the infamous Aimov Ranker.

‘Still, I’m glad that the desired result came out.’

Aimoff was so focused on the Queen that he didn’t notice the trap Akira had prepared.

Akira’s trap is very fatal to those who use genetic essence like him or Aimorph, because he made it difficult by using the privilege he possessed.

In addition, the ruling faction members continue to send reinforcements to N-51. Even for him, it won’t be easy to survive.

‘Our alliance ends here, Akira.’

The troops he had supported were nearly all killed in the fight against Aimov. He could have sent in more men, but he didn’t.

I only cooperated briefly because of Aimov, and I had no intention of joining the ruling faction. They, like Aimov, are just targets to be dealt with.

‘While they were distracted, we were laying the groundwork for the solar system… .’

He stopped thinking about Aimov and tried to think about his next plan, when a communications stone lying on the ground interrupted his thoughts.

“Message arrived.”

‘hmm?’

The mucous membrane flowing out of his body detected the activated stone.

There is only one person who can contact him at the moment. His beloved lover and fellow Outspacer from the Returning Faction.

‘You must be busy with the planetary expansion?’

I still vividly remember him sobbing that he thought he wouldn’t be able to contact me for a while, which was surprising. Of course, that didn’t mean he didn’t welcome messages from his lover.

He checked the message that appeared on the computer connected to the tombstone.

‘huh?’

Contrary to expectations, it wasn’t his lover who contacted him. He created a tentacle on his mucous membrane and typed the message.

“Beomho? What brings you here?”

“Message arrived.”

The Empress was surprised by the reply that came immediately after writing.

‘You’re hiding in the Aimop subjugation force?’

If everything goes according to plan, Beom-ho should be waiting for a ‘guest’ brought by another compatriot.

The guest is a very important element in the grand scheme of the return party. It is something that Beom-ho, the person who made the plan, always emphasized.

He, who was like that, changed his plans himself.

The leader of the Returning Faction is now in the N-51 constellation, where war is raging.

–

Highly concentrated energies hit my body.

The carapace and shell covering the body are slowly breaking, and blood and flesh are slowly leaking out into space.

Wounds that would normally heal quickly are not getting any better.

“Hey, Morph! Ranker’s special privilege, huh!”

As the energy beams fired by the battleship passed back and forth, Isabel sent me a thought wave. She confirmed the abnormal phenomenon occurring in my body with the Heavenly Eye of Mansang.

[Zuzu (special privilege?)]

“The gene is a privilege that creates the electrons that pollute the essence. That gene is interfering with recovery.”

When Amorph becomes a semi-adult, he gains immunity to poisons and viruses. This immunity allows him to use all sorts of bacteria, viruses, and parasites as weapons.

No matter how strong the toxin is that enters the stomach, it is simply digested and cannot cause any damage.

‘If only it weren’t poison…’

That’s a different story.

Isabel told me that the cause of my problems was a ‘gene’ that was contaminating my genetic essence. It was probably acquired when I devoured the shadows.

‘There was no special message when the predation effect occurred.’

Whenever Aimorph succeeds in predation, the relevant information is always printed in the text box. The only genetic essence I have stolen from the shadow is ‘Ultra Control’.

Just because it doesn’t appear in the text box doesn’t mean the genes of the food you ingested are completely gone. This is because some of them are stored by organs such as mimetic organs, parasitic colonies, and human-faced worm hosts.

These organs cannot be controlled as I wish. It is the same reason that a person can move his hands and feet as he pleases, but cannot do the same with his liver or gallbladder.

‘A trap you can’t avoid once you eat it.’

The master of shadows shot me squarely.

‘Besides, there’s a problem with the dragon’s heart.’

There has been a throbbing pain inside my chest for some time now. The dragon’s heart must have been included in the trap.

‘The energy supply is also a mess.’

It is estimated that the effectiveness has dropped to approximately one-quarter.

Even if it doesn’t recover, it’s fatal if the energy supply is cut off. This is because all of my attack characteristics and superluminal travel consume enormous amounts of energy.

And because the balance maintained by the Dragon’s Heart was broken, the penalty for the ‘Hunger’ trait was reactivated. If you use your power recklessly, you will lose your mind and fall into madness.

‘You can get energy by eating enemies directly, but… .

They may have also planted traps like shadows for the crews of those battleships. They cannot prey rashly, as they may make a mistake while eating the ships.

“Be careful, you won’t be able to use the recovery trait for an hour.”

It’s fortunate that there’s a time limit, but we can’t be completely at ease. It’s basically like all means of recovery are sealed for 60 minutes.

Meanwhile, enemy reinforcements are constantly pouring in. There are more ships pouring firepower on me than when the battle started.

It’s okay now because the injury isn’t serious, but the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it becomes for me.

At that moment, a strong energy response was detected from afar. It was a heat ray fired by the main gun of the Sachs Alpha-class battleship, which was much larger and had stronger firepower than a normal battleship.

I stopped thinking and quickly dodged. The heat ray as thick as my body narrowly missed me.

Then came the onslaught of other battleships. Green flashes of light formed a dense net. A net of energy followed, trying to ensnare me.

If I get trapped in there now, I’m in big trouble. I accelerated and got out of their attack range.

Behind me, the Heavenly Mother and the ‘right head’ followed.

“Eimov? What about that wound?”

The Heavenly Mother asked as she saw blood spurting from the broken shell.

[Zuzuzuz zu zu zu zu zu (I fell for the trap set by the ranker)]

“what?”

[Zuzuzuz zuuzuz zuuzuz zuuzuz zuuzuz zuuzuz zuuzuz (Cannot be played for 60 minutes. And energy cannot be recharged)]

“… … .”

As I was explaining to her the gravity of the situation, something changed in her body. The duration of the hunting symbol had come to an end.

My greatly enlarged body shrank, and my body shape and various body parts returned to their original state. When I opened my eyes, I saw my Heavenly Mother looking at me with a worried face.

‘It’s dangerous if we continue like this.’

We must use every means at our disposal to change this trend. Otherwise, there will only be defeat and death.

‘Let’s gather the kids first.’

After falling back, the enemy’s attacks became quieter. I think they are trying to reorganize their battle lines with the fleet that has newly entered the constellation. I took advantage of this gap and flew with the kids to the place where No. 26 and Adhai were fighting.

The patrol ships and aircraft that Adhai and ‘Left Head’ were dealing with had already been cleared out long ago. The two were helping No. 26 deal with the Screamers.

The psychic-specialized Screamers based on Jason were running out of numbers. They gave up the fight and retreated when they got close to me.

“Don’t run away!”

The tentacles of No. 26 grew long and thin like my erosion tentacles, wrapping themselves around two fleeing Screamers. They then dragged the captured enemies into their bodies and swallowed them.

Adhai, who saw that, shook off the bundle of tentacles hanging from the corner of his mouth.

“That” “Taste” “It wasn’t there”

“Grrr”

“Huh? The big baby is here!”

The guys who had been fighting hard were happy to see me. But that attitude didn’t last long because they noticed that my body was covered in wounds.

“Big man?” “Body” “Are you hurt?”

“The bad kids bullied the older kid!”

Adhai, who was worried about me, let out a thought wave filled with anxiety and worry. No. 26 also became angry, his pink body turning dark.

[Zuzuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu (I have a favor to ask. Call the guys.)]

I first asked 26 to call the Metallic Gremlins. With the Outspacer that prevented hypersonic travel gone, they can jump here at any time.

Metallic Gremlins are a race specialized in fleet battles. They will be a great help in fighting the combined fleets of Megacorp and Star Union.

‘If there weren’t any rankers, I would have won without difficulty.’

It is almost certain that the enemies are under the command of the ranker. The ranker will know what to do against the Metallic Gremlin. You will take some damage at first, but you will quickly respond.

But what I expect from these guys isn’t just the combat aspect.

‘Just introducing a variable that the enemy doesn’t know about here is meaningful.’

If a bunch of metallic gremlins suddenly appear, it is inevitable that the enemy’s attention will be distracted. While they buy time, we have to find a way to turn the tide of the battle.

For example, eliminating a ranker or disabling an enemy fleet’s command ship.

And there are still several Warp Boys left in the group following No. 26.

Right now, I’m in a situation where I need to conserve the energy stored in my body. If by any chance we have to escape, I’ll need their help.

‘It was impossible in the game, but not here.’

Since there’s a 26th that can talk to the guys, I guess I could ask them to move me to a neighboring constellation.

“Okay! I’ll call the sparkles.”

Number 26, who heard my request, took out a silver tentacle.

A small light emitted from the sphere at the end of the tentacle. The wave that summoned the metallic gremlin flew out of the constellation at incredible speed.

‘Okay. And….’

I opened a semi-transparent text box.

A number of characteristics clouded my vision. I looked at the ‘Mark of the Enemy’ and ‘Plunderer’s Irregular Polyhedron’ that I had obtained first.

‘I didn’t know I would use it here.’

Behind the predator’s irregular polyhedron were written the names of the abilities I gained by preying on special equipment.

‘The dice of emptiness.’

Power gained by preying on equipment previously owned by Sihyeon Eugene.

Using this ability allows you to use all characteristics without restrictions for 3 minutes.

It’s a very radical power, but because the cooldown is 66 days, I’ve only been able to use it once so far. If it weren’t for the ‘Revenant Organ’ that was activated when I fought Magmasaur last time, I would still be unable to use it.

‘Even our enemies don’t know about this power.’

My enemies think I’m greatly weakened. And indeed, they are.

‘It’s a good time to roll the dice.’

“The sparkles are here!”

At that moment, a blue halo gathered behind me along with the wavelength of number 26. It was a signal from the infamous Silver Marauders who had received the guy’s call.

Even enemies far away detect the intrusion of strangers and try to deter them. Before the battleships start firing, I quickly use ‘Complex Spectroscopy’.

A transparent mirror formed in front of me, containing various types of light. After a while, the heat rays fired by the battleships flew towards the circular prism. The huge transparent plate, instead of being hit by the heat rays and breaking, reflected all the attacks that flew at it.

While I was killing time, the horde of metallic gremlins successfully completed their jump.

“■■■”

“■■?”

“Yeah, yeah! Let’s get rid of the bad guys!”

“Words” “Strange” “Understandable” “Impossible”

The battleships’ attacks stop. They must have been taken aback by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

Now it’s our turn to counterattack.

Metallic Gremlins are not very tall. The largest ones are about 80cm tall, so most are about the size of a child.

But don’t ignore it just because it’s small.

These little demons with metal skin are the natural enemies of ships. Their nickname ‘Space Ravagers’ is not an empty boast.

The terrifying beings that drift across the sea called space advance.

Even though No. 26 didn’t say anything, the guys moved towards the enemy fleet on their own.
