Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 395



Only Noblemtl

My torso swelled up into a beetle-like shape, and I brought Isabel and PS-111 under my chest.

At that moment, the enemy’s energy cannon finished charging.

An energy beam of similar nature to the Giga Cracker’s ion cannon approaches, emitting light. Although it may not be a super weapon, it feels like it has enough energy to destroy a fleet.

A ray of heat flying at a terrifying speed collides with the complex spectral body. A giant plate of energy fields shakes and glows like a prism.

However, unlike usual, he was unable to immediately reflect the enemy’s attacks.

The Complex Spectrum only reflects attacks from energy types that I have been damaged by. Any other attacks, or attacks that cannot be reflected, take half the damage.

I wasn’t sure if I could reflect this since the restrictions were removed thanks to the Void Dice, so I took out insurance, and my prediction was right.

The spectrometer held out for a moment, weakening the heat ray before dissipating. The residual energy of the heat ray washed over me.

‘huh?’

Although I had increased my defenses through the variable bio-weapon, I didn’t expect it to completely offset the damage. The heat rays fired by the enemy ranker’s warship were so powerful that they could repeatedly activate ‘Pain Reduction’.

But the pain I felt was extremely minimal. The high fever was burning my body, but the damage did not penetrate deep into my body.

‘What is this?’

The moment the heat ray struck my body, the thorn clusters on the surface rippled like waves. All the thorns on my body folded like a hedgehog laying down its needles. As the thorns piled up one on top of the other, the distance between the shell and the thorns also became tighter.

“The outer shell structure is highly rigid, confirming, interesting.”

“Sister, take care of your head.”

PS-111 is exactly as it says.

These newly formed thorns are made of the same material as bone. They interlock with each other to form a biological shield, which increases their defense power exponentially.

Thanks to this, it was able to withstand the weakened heat rays passing through the complex spectrometer.

Soon, the enemy’s attacks gradually subsided. The thorns that had been tangled on the surface also straightened out again.

The Heavenly Sword, which had released a single ray of heat, retreats. Judging from the fact that its movements are more urgent than before, it seems that it did not expect this result.

‘Where are you going?’

Now there is about 1 minute and 30 seconds left.

I spread my wings and chased after it. The battleships protecting the enemy ranker rained down torpedoes and heat rays on me.

The thorns on the surface moved ceaselessly to defend against enemy attacks. PS-111 and Isabel, who were held in my small arms on my chest, also helped me keep the enemy at bay.

Before I could stop, enemy battleships rushed out in front of me.

A huge wall made of alloy blocks blocks me. If it were just before, I would have changed direction and gone around, but not this time. I rammed the enemy battleships without stopping or going around.

The intense explosion caused by the collision engulfs me. The unexploded battleships push me back. Megacorp and Star Union warships are using ramming tactics on their fronts.

It’s stupid. I put on the Ice Horror’s shell on my head and hit them. The sturdy ship’s armor, which can withstand even the harshness of space, crumbles like a sand castle.

Some ships aimed for my waist and chest. PS-111 and Isabel quickly climbed onto the ship’s deck.

“Don’t worry about us!”

“The Heavenly Sword must be removed.”

Isabel shot a strong blast of thought.

The guy is right. You can’t miss the enemy rankers here.

I cut through the battleships with the bone scythe arm attached to my lower back. The outer walls, which were several meters thick, were cut like sheets of paper. This was thanks to the application of the Pyromancer’s ability to the bone scythe arm.

And at once, he grabbed the two pieces of the battleship with his fighting arm. The fighting arm, which resembled the body of the Giganterium, swelled up terribly. He swung the battleship hard in that state.

The steel club in my hand swept through the enemies surrounding me. Explosions erupted one after another as the ships were destroyed. I pushed forward through the scorching heat.

There was the Heavenly Sword. It was preparing to fire its heat ray while the battleships were capturing me.

The distance isn’t that far. At this distance, you should be able to grab it with your erosion tentacles and pull it in.

At that moment, my body suddenly shook violently.

The Star Union’s Jax Alpha-class battleship, which was even larger than I was now, slammed down on me from above. The tentacles that protruded from its belly were blocked by the thick armor.

‘but….’

There is still one more means by which the enemy can be drawn.

I opened my mouth wide toward the Heavenly Sword. The muscles of my tongue connected to the double chin inside increased rapidly. Then, the tongue with the double chin popped out like a bullet.

The tongue of the Dreadsong, implemented by the variable bio-weapon, was stuck in the front of the Heavenly Sword. The creature was unable to dodge as it was unable to move while preparing the heat ray.

I pulled my tongue, which was stuck in the outer wall of the front of the ship, towards me. As the distance between us narrowed, the energy that had been gathering in the enemy ship began to disperse. It was clear that they were canceling their heat ray weapons and pulling out another card.

There are only about ten seconds left.

There are too many obstacles to fly in and attack the enemy directly, and time is limited.

‘Is that all there is?’

I tried not to use it as much as possible since the Dragon’s Heart was disabled, but I couldn’t help it.

The monster’s tentacles move according to my will. The energy stored in its body is converted into psychic power and gathered into the tentacles. The white tentacles are soaked in a familiar purple color.

A visible mass of concentrated psychic power emerged from the tentacles and gathered in front of the snout.

‘Five seconds now.’

The sphere floating in front of my head becomes elongated. The purple line stretches out like the horizon created by dawn.

A powerful shield, usable only by cultists, appears from the Heavenly Sword to defend against psychic breath. However, even that cannot overcome the breath created by the power of the dragon.

The shield that had been holding on for a moment was broken, and the breath directly struck the Heavenly Sword. An explosion more powerful than a single battleship exploded, and the shockwave swept away the surrounding ships.

The thorns that protected me shattered as soon as they hit the shockwave. At the same time, my enlarged body slowly shrank.

“I don’t know what it is, but is it over?”

“Energy loss, body color, shape, restored to previous state.”

The Bone Beast is being dispelled because the duration of the Void Dice has expired.

‘The symbol of the hunt still remains.’

Since they are incompatible characteristics, it seemed like only one of them was canceled.

‘Still, it’s fortunate that it ended before the effects wore off.’

As I was thinking that, suddenly a huge flow of energy was detected from far away.

‘Supersonic speed travel!’

Judging by the amount of energy felt through the auxiliary organs, a considerable fleet is attempting to travel at superluminal speeds. The enemy rankers must have called for reinforcements just before they were annihilated along with the ships.

‘It’s dangerous.’

I have already spent a lot of strength and characteristics. It is not good to continue fighting a large fleet. Moreover, if there is another ranker among the enemies, things will become much more complicated.

‘Here we have the black devourer cannon… .’

While he was thinking that, the enemy fleet leapt into the constellation. Hundreds of battleships appeared, tearing through the black space, surrounded by blue light.

You may lose your mind due to the energy drain, but you no longer have time to consider risks.

As I was quickly preparing the Black Devourer Cannon, I felt a familiar presence behind me.

It was Gallagon, Adhai, faster than anyone I knew. A purple sphere burst out of the bundle of tentacles at the corner of its mouth and flew towards the fleet.

The small sphere looked very fragile and insignificant. However, the master who created the sphere was the great dragon queen, Red Gallagon, whose power was tempered with starlight.

As the purple sphere, Starflame, collided with the vanguard of the fleet, a tremendous wave of energy spread out in all directions. It was a tremendous explosion of energy that paralyzed the auxiliary engines for a moment.

After the energy dissipated and the shockwaves passed, nothing could be felt in the area where the Starflame had swept through. The reinforcements the enemy had called had disappeared without leaving even a speck of dust behind.

“Power of the Stars” “Twice” “It’s Hard”

Adhai staggers toward him after clearing out his enemies. He looks very tired, perhaps because he kept firing Starflames while not in full Red Gallagon form. He must have been so exhausted that he couldn’t even maintain his Red Armor.

“Big man” “Me” “Did you do well?”

[Zzuzuzu zuzuzuzu (That was a perfect move)]

“Praise!” “Happy!”

The guy who felt sincerity in my short compliment expressed his delight.

‘He’s done enough.’

Now it’s time to rest. Of course, the battle isn’t over yet, so I have to protect it. I stretched out my wing arms toward the guy.

At that moment, Adhai’s body trembled.

‘huh?’

A sticky liquid oozes out of the little Gallagon’s abdomen and spreads into space. The creature slowly collapses onto my hand.

‘Adhai?’

As soon as I realized that the liquid was blood, I quickly grabbed the guy and pulled him inside my body.

“Aim, P! Up ahead, in the rubble, enemy!”

Without even worrying about Adhai’s condition, Isabel’s thought wave flew in.

As the guy said, there was something among the debris left behind when the Heavenly Sword exploded. A strange-looking monster was staring at me, holding a rifle-like weapon.

‘Akira Eugene!’

The undead Megacorp ranker is after my neck.

I scanned the enemy with the auxiliary organ under my chin.

Akira Eugene floating among the wreckage of a broken ship.

I’ve fought the Megacorp rankers so many times in the game that it’s almost mind-boggling. I’ve also fought the 3rd rankers over a dozen times.

But the guy here now looked a lot different from what I remembered.

Megacorp players can enhance their bodies through genetic modifications, just like Amorph or Outspacer. However, unlike the other two races, the collected genes cannot be used immediately; they must be made into samples before they can be used.

And since the genetic samples have been altered for human use, their level is significantly lower than that of the original. Because of this, Megacorp’s humans cannot change into beings with completely different appearances like Amorph and Outspacer. At best, they end up with appearances similar to the Hulk mutant. In the case of Sihyeon Eugene and Code Black, who I have fought, they did not deviate much from the frame of being human.

But the Akira Eugene there was hard to see as a human.

Compound eyes reminiscent of insect eyes, four horns sprouting from the temples, a height of nearly 5m, scales covering its entire body, large wings, four long arms divided from the shoulder blades, and large wings sprouting from its back. All of these things were far from human.

If it weren’t for the rifle-shaped weapon in his right hand, it would be hard to believe he was human.

The moment I thought that, the bastard moved.

The bastard’s body approaches with terrifying speed, as if leaping through space.

The wings on its back aren’t just for decoration. It’s much faster than I thought. I quickly moved Adhai from its combat arm to the small arm on its chest.

The one who approached in an instant swung one of its four arms. The arm, which had a hook at the end, looked similar to the bone scythe arm I had.

Just before the hooked claw was stuck in the snout, he quickly pulled his neck back. As if it wasn’t just a resemblance, the claw cut through the carapace at the end of the snout.

If I had been even a little late, my snout would have been cut in half. I narrowly avoided a fatal wound and counterattacked with the erosion tentacles.

The erosion tentacles are equipped with a ‘Medusa Organ’. If you successfully stab the body with the tentacle’s appendages, you can turn the creature into a lump of quartz.

An enemy that does not react even when seeing the flying tentacles. Instead, the wings on its back begin to react by emitting energy.

‘this!’

Those wings, with their energy rapidly concentrated, I know what that means. I need to dodge right away, but the distance is too close.

Just as the beam was about to fire from my wing, my left wing melted and scattered like powder sprinkled on water. Isabel fired Vortex One’s pistol from above my wing arm.

The thing must have judged that this was dangerous, so it stopped attacking and tried to retreat. My erosion tentacles caught the thing’s leg precariously.

Akira is close to 5 meters tall, but my body is much larger than him. The tentacle appendage easily tore off the thing’s left leg. I was about to tear off the entire leg, but something came up behind me.

It was the battleships of Megacorp and Star Union that had blocked my attack on the Heavenly Sword. The torpedoes and heat rays they had fired struck my back. Akira escaped the tentacles while the battleships were keeping me in check.

Instead of chasing the guy, I moved out of the battleships’ firing range. The battleships continued to fire with their secondary batteries as they moved toward Akira.

It’s not pleasant to see enemies grouped together, but it can’t be helped. We also need time to regroup since we have Adhai with a critical injury.

‘Besides, Akira was also seriously injured.’

The one who quickly retreated cut off the wounded leg with a hooked claw, probably to avoid the Medusa organ.

As I was thinking that, something strange happened. New body parts sprouted from the places where the wings and legs had been cut off.

‘what?’

The leg that had protruded from the wound was protected by a thick carapace, and the newly grown wing was narrower and longer than the right one.

The regeneration and healing properties are about restoring damaged parts to their original form, not reconstructing them into something completely different. The new wings and legs it had acquired looked like they were taken from other creatures and replaced with body parts.

“Eimov, Joe, Deep Sea. His special, ya know.”

At that time, Isabel sent me a thought wave.

“It’s a privilege to create a body from stored genes, based on the body, and replace it quickly.”

It definitely felt more like replacing them with new legs and wings rather than regenerating them. It seems to be a perk similar to the cyborg’s module replacement ability.

‘No, rather, it is similar to a transformable bioweapon.’
