Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 421



Only Noblemtl

421

There were quite a few players in Space Survival who hated me.

Not only the rankers, but also those belonging to large clans and large alliances targeted me. There were also cases where the community recruited Eimov subjugation forces to attack me. If I ever encountered them, my information would spread in an instant.

As a result, it was rare for him to share information with anyone, except when he was spreading false information to confuse his enemies.

Maybe that’s why.

This situation of trusting others and confessing what I know felt strange and amazing.

The information function that showed me illusions of players who had aimed for the ending in the past, the Amorph-type creatures that replaced the existing ending bosses, and so on.

I told her everything I had seen, without leaving anything out.

The time spent talking itself wasn’t that long, but there was a lot of information in it. That’s why Heavenly Mother, who heard the whole story, remained silent.

“… I’ll organize it.”

She was lost in thought and sent out a thought wave.

“There are two things that are certain at the moment. The ending boss has changed into a monster that looks like Aimorph, and Akira, who took part in the siege, knows the secret of the ending, right?”

“That’s correct.”

“Can we trust what that information function says?”

“I don’t think there’s any reason to lie. If you’re going to fool me, there are probably easier ways to do it.”

There are many ways, such as showing me a stronger illusion than I have now, or controlling me with an ability I don’t know about, etc.

She nodded, as if she had the same thoughts as me.

“Is it true that we have to go to Earth in the end?”

“maybe.”

“Even for you, it wouldn’t be easy to break through the solar system.”

“You don’t necessarily have to go into the solar system. You can just drag it out.”

“How… Ah. So you’re thinking of using the 25th place.”

“okay.”

The leader of the pirates who are coming here is friendly with Akira. If we capture him, we can obtain information that can be used to lure Akira.

“The main pirate force will arrive in about 12 days. You can prepare before then and attack them.”

The opponent is a strong player aiming for the top apex. It is by no means an easy opponent.

That’s why I plan to make this place a trap to hunt the rankers.

PS-111 has completely taken over the planet’s communications systems, and I have also set up several nests. The conditions for carrying out the plan are more or less in place.

“Anyway, I think we’ve covered all the important stuff.”

Of course, we are still very much unprepared.

We need to build more nests, eat more genetic samples from the research complex above, and check out other cities to see if there are any useful humans. There’s a lot to do.

Then the Heavenly Mother asked me.

“What are you going to do with those kids?”

“children?”

“… Excuse me, can I take care of the kids?”

Her eyes were focused inside the nest where the young wolves were.

In fact, once you have enough information you need, they are unnecessary.

Since he was born into a primitive tribe, he cannot fly a spaceship or operate machinery right away. It would take a long time to teach him how to do this. However, he is too young and weak to be used as a simple combatant.

It has no real use other than for experimenting with enhanced parasites or creating human-faced insects.

That is why the words that Heavenly Mother spoke were unexpected to me.

“Wolves, I don’t think they’ll be of much use.”

“You might be so shocked that you don’t remember important information.”

“hmm.”

“There’s no reason to get rid of it right away anyway, so I’ll keep it.”

The Mother of Heaven spoke, scratching her beak with her forefeet. Her gaze was still fixed on the inside of the nest.

‘what?’

It was a different attitude than usual. Even while talking, his gaze was fixed on the children, and his slightly shaking eyes showed signs of agitation.

‘Are you reminded of the old days?’

She lost her family to the ruling faction’s ranker Muriel just before she met me. Her husband, ‘Father Earth’, and the Wolf tribe she had been caring for were all annihilated.

After Muriel died, she collected the bodies of the Wolfs that had been left lying around. I remember there were quite a few young Wolfs among them.

‘Now that I think about it, the corpses from back then and the survivors here are of similar age.’

I think it might be because I acted more aggressively than necessary when we met earlier, perhaps because I’ve been through similar situations in the past.

‘Still, it’s surprising.’

I have encountered slave traders and pirates many times in my life, but I have never been so shaken by a slave as I am now. Naturally, this is the first time they have asked me for something like this.

“Okay. If you take it with you, it will help you in some way.”

I was going to ask for more details, but I gave up.

For someone who has suffered in the past, thoughtless questions and words can be hurtful. I know this because I have had similar experiences.

‘I’ll tell you when I’ve made up my mind.’

There’s no need to nag me when it’s not a problem.

“Once you’re fully recovered, you can stay at the research complex above. Since you’re Wolf, you’ll probably like it there better than here.”

“…thank you.”

I left Wolf’s treatment to the Heavenly Mother and took down the pirates that had been pasted on the wall.

“You guys have to go with me.”

Unlike Wolf, they are useful. The high-ranking officers, including Ventress, will be used to report falsely to the main force of the Shino Group. The rest of the ragtag group will be used as bait to lure traps.

I took the pirates and came out of the nest.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve used a planet as a trap.’

In fact, it is rare to use a whole planet as a trap in a game. Because of its size, it takes a long time to lay a nest and expand it. Even I have failed many times because I was caught during preparation.

So I only made them when I was sure I could lure enemies, and when I needed a safe haven for my continued use.

‘In this case, I guess it should be the former?’

Of course, it is impossible to cover the entire star with a nest within 12 days due to time constraints. So you need to predict where the enemy will be stationed, where they will be lured to attack, and so on, and then set traps.

And that part is something I have to solve with my capabilities and my experience.

I spread my wings and flew into the sky covered with dark clouds. The view of the city covered in black mucus came into view.

25th place and his subordinates who are stirring things up here and there.

By the time they arrive, the scenery here will have changed a lot from before.

Because it won’t be a terraformed planet that welcomes guests, but a planet ruled by Aimorph.

–

A black universe where stars are scattered like sand dust.

In the middle of it all, a blue light suddenly flashed.

What appeared like a lightning bolt tearing through space was a fleet that had succeeded in superluminal travel.

The number of ships was close to 50, reminiscent of a fleet belonging to a great power. However, looking at the appearance of each ship, it was far from an elite fleet. This was because the shape, size, and specifications of each ship were all different.

Some ships have drone command towers attached to Cult-style cruiser bases, while others have plasma cannons attached to Megacorp mining ships.

Among them, there was a ship that boasted a particularly enormous size.

The ship with its three-pronged front that resembles a trident is the Star Union’s XAX02-class battleship, commonly known as the Jax Beta.

Originally, it should be working for the well-being of the cyborg people, but the ship in this place serves another master. The infamous Space Dog, and among them, the Pirate Union that shares the name ‘Sino’.

“Boss. We have arrived at the conflict zone.”

The bridge of the Jax Beta. The Insectman pirate reports to the human male sitting in the captain’s chair.

His name is Sutherland. He is the head of the Shinoichi Cartel, the first cartel to join the Shino Group.

“Who is the guy who got left behind?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Okay. First, scan the surrounding area, and then tell Shinoni to contact the kids who went down to the planet.”

“yep.”

The pirates under orders manipulated the computers installed arbitrarily on the bridge.

“Oh, over there, boss?”

Then, the pirate in charge of the ship’s detector called the leader.

“The situation is a bit strange. The planet’s atmosphere is extremely unstable.”

“how much?”

“A massive storm is forming in several locations on the planet, making ship scans difficult to read.”

Sutherland frowned at his subordinate’s words.

“You never said anything like that before you came here. What happened?”

“When I saw the sudden change in weather, I thought there was a problem with the terraforming machine.”

“Boss, we have received a reply from Shinoni.”

Then the cyborg pirate who was in charge of the contact joined the conversation.

“They say there was a terrorist attack by separatists three days ago. They say that caused problems with the terraforming machines.”

“Separatists? You said you cleared them all out in the regular report?”

“It seems there were some leftovers that had not been dealt with yet. They say they have all been dealt with now.”

“What should we do?”

Sutherland scratched his head nervously, scratching until his fingernails bled, and reluctantly opened his mouth.

“There are no problems at the planned meeting point?”

“There are no problems, except that the communication is a little unstable.”

“For now, keep scanning this ship, and land the rest. Oh, and the guys who switched to the mining ship without permission last time. I’ll give them a day to fix the terraforming machine as fast as possible.”

“Are you talking about the Shinoroku Cartel?”

“uh.”

“Okay, I’ll pass it on.”

“… I’ll rest in the captain’s cabin, so handle the rest as you did before.”

“yep!”

With those words, Sutherland left the bridge.

As he got closer to the captain’s cabin, the shadows on his face grew darker. There was a reason he had this expression on his face, even though he was just going to rest.

The other pirates think that Sutherland is the owner of this ship, but in fact, he is not. This ship and the cartel he belongs to are owned by someone else.

Sutherland quickly arrived at the captain’s cabin and knocked cautiously on the door.

“Sir Shino, this is Sutherland. I have something to report… Ugh?!”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly got a severe headache and collapsed on the floor without realizing it.

The young man’s voice pierced his ears as he writhe in pain.

“You incompetent bastards. Can’t you even handle such a simple task properly?”

“Ugh!”

“Should I change that bad hair while I’m at it?”

“Ugh, please forgive me just this once…!”

Despite the playful tone of his voice, which sounded like a joke, the obedience device was still working. Sutherland begged, even as blood poured out of his nose and ears.

“Pisces Twelve. Says. The target still has its use. It is inefficient to expend it at this point.”

Then, a woman’s voice mixed with a mechanical sound tried to dissuade the young man. It must have worked, because the owner of the voice stopped the obedience device before he lost consciousness.

“Well, it’s not as planned, but it’s not a big deal, so I’ll stop here. Thank you, right?”

“Oh, thank you! Thank you so much for saving my life!”

“Pisces Twelve. I command you. I need to supplement some of the subject’s instructions. Come in.”
