I Became An Evolving Space Monster Chapter 436
“If you are Sihyeon Eugene, is this the shadow you met last time in Berzan 02?”
“That’s right.”
“Do you know that woman?”
“We ran into each other several times.”
I have seen and fought in person twice. I fought in the spaceship where I first opened my eyes, and in the underground crypt of Berzan 02. Besides that, I have fought with her subordinates several times.
“Is she also a member of the Shino Group?”
“no. “In the early days of the group, we only worked together for about half a year, and later moved to another cartel due to Akira’s orders.”
When first encountered, she belonged to a pirate cartel. I think he probably moved with Shinobu before that.
“So what did you hear from her?”
“Well, I don’t know if you know, but that bitch isn’t on good terms with Akira, even though she’s a shadow. “He thought he had been robbed of his position as the head of the Eugene family.”
When I heard it, I remembered it.
Her subordinate whom she encountered in Adhaj’s former hometown. He definitely said that.
The purpose of the vision is to regain the position of head of the family that Akira usurped.
“They say there is a place that Akira secretly visits on a regular basis.”
“A place you secretly visit?”
“yes. “I heard that he goes alone, without an attendant or a private boat.”
“Why did I tell you that?”
“She invited me to fight Akira with her. “I also heard this information at that time.”
From the looks of it, Sihyeon thought of Shinobu as a regular space dog and tried to recruit her. Of course, he knew Akira’s power well, so he would have rejected it right away.
“good. So where is it?”
“Actually, I didn’t hear that part properly because I declined it while receiving the offer. So I did some research separately, and let’s take a moment…”
Shinobu took the terminal from Heavenly Mother and entered something.
Those were the coordinates of a place.
“It’s Megacorp’s dump.”
“Do you know?”
“I’ve been there before in the game.”
Megacorp has a star system that collects waste generated in the solar system. All kinds of waste, including the remains of a space city discarded during construction, scrap metal ships, and dangerous industrial waste, are sent away at faster than light speeds.
Megacorp’s junkyard is an artificial planet created by accidental amalgamation of these things.
“I went into the Megacorp dump?”
“I went there to build a secret nest.”
“…This is why no one could find it.”
The Heavenly Mother shook her head.
Even in the game, entering the garbage dump was a very difficult task. A lot of garbage gathers like a cloud and surrounds the garbage dump, so access itself is quite difficult. What’s worse, even the metallic gremlins who are crazy about metal won’t want to go there.
I was successful in making the nest itself, but it was too cumbersome to get in and out, so I eventually gave up.
Visit such a place regularly, and without an attendant? It’s definitely not common.
There is something there that makes the cautious third place take on the hassle and risk. If you use this, it will be a great help in catching Akira.
However, there is still one question.
“Didn’t you tell Akira that you knew about the secret location?”
“yes.”
“Why? “It’s the same ruling faction.”
“You might get stabbed from over there later, right? “I also have to prepare at least one hidden move.”
In response to my question, the guy looked like he was asking something like that. It seemed like he wasn’t forcing himself to tell the truth because of parasites, but that he truly thought that way.
‘Well, he was originally like this.’
Even in games, he was notorious for only following the strong men who were supposed to protect him and betraying them from time to time. Even here, his personality seemed to have not changed.
“Then you also know the other members’ weaknesses, right?”
“Uh, it’s not enough to be considered a weakness, but there are a few things…”
Of course, I should say it was a benefit because I was able to find a useful source of information.
Anyway, I heard enough about what I needed to say. Now it’s time to think specifically about how to catch Akira.
‘Ah, before that…’
Suddenly, something occurred to me that I wanted to ask.
“You came to the Zer-11 conflict zone to capture Arcane Orca, right?”
“yes. That’s right.”
“What were you planning to do if the hunt failed?”
Arcane Orca is not something that can be easily hunted. There are perks, so the probability of success increases, but it is not perfect.
He has hunted powerful Apex creatures several times. Of course, preparations were made in case the hunt failed. For example, I collected information about a new Arcane Orca other than the one I hunted.
He rolled his eyes and opened his mouth as if he was troubled by what I said.
“Well, do you want to know the location of the other Arcane Orca?”
“okay.”
“Yes, actually, while collecting information, I obtained information about the second Arcane Orca. “There were some problems in the information acquisition process.”
“problem?”
“Chief Wolff, who knew about Arcane Orca, suddenly died…”
It seems that he killed Wolff, who knew the information, while torturing him.
｢….｣
The Mother of Heaven, who was listening to the story, clicked her beak hard. It was clear that he wanted to rip the guy’s mouth off right away.
“Who knows other than Chief Wolf? “Records or something.”
“Because they were such a stupid, primitive tribe, they only recorded their history through oral tradition or engravings. “After filming, we burned all the prints and killed all the remaining useless ones.”
“Where is the print data?”
“It was decided that Fiskes, that is, the Supreme Council, would manage it. “You would know because Mr. Amov would have won the Supreme Council as well.”
What he said is only half true.
It’s true that they won, but that’s because most of Fiskes’ data was erased before his death.
PS-111, who opened the Supreme Council member’s head, also did not know about the Wolf tribe’s engravings.
‘No, wait.’
Although the print was lost, there is a survivor that Shinobu doesn’t know about. 10 young Wolfs saved by Heavenly Mother.
The moment I turned my head, I made eye contact with the Mother of Heaven.
“I’ll ask the kids.”
She had the same thought as me and sent a message to the Wolfs through the communicator.
A few minutes later, the communication device started flashing. Her eyes lit up as she checked the reply.
“Do you know who ‘Tane’ is?”
“Wolf with the jackal head?”
“huh. That child is the next tribal leader, and they say he knows all the engravings by heart. “If you give me the tools, I will draw it right away.”
The moment I heard her words, what I had to do next was confirmed.
“Tane and PS-111, please join us to find where Arcane Orca can be.”
“Okay.”
“And you.”
“yes?”
I stretched out my wing arms and picked up Shinobu.
“You said you know the other members’ weaknesses, right? From now on, tell me everything, one by one.”
“…yes.”
The guy’s complexion turned pale. It’s probably because he knows that his lifespan is fixed.
However, it is impossible to resist as long as there are parasites. All you have to do is smile and obey.
‘I unexpectedly got a second chance.’
Catching Akira will be after acquiring a new unique trait.
I smiled at Shinobu.
–
A drawing room full of static beauty.
A young woman and a black-haired man were sitting facing each other and drinking wine.
“Whoa.”
“How is it? “What does the vintage wine made to commemorate the coronation of the head of the family taste like?”
Chloe Carmelda, who was savoring the taste of wine with her eyes closed, nodded.
“Wei, that person, I really don’t like his personality, but his wine is excellent.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
“how is it? If you want, Lee can help you take the position of head of the family.”
“Thank you for your consideration, but I will only accept your feelings.”
“Well, I’m doing something more important, but would the position of head of the family be something that caught my eye?”
Li Zhao’s attitude of lowering his head instead of answering made Chloe chuckle and put down her glass.
“Well, okay. How is the project progressing recently?”
“Thanks to the data obtained two months ago, we are progressing smoothly. “It has a psychic power adaptability higher than that of a cult, and is showing meaningful results in environmental simulations.”
“no. Not that one. “A different project.”
Lee paused after hearing those words. He looked around the living room where there were only the two of them and cautiously opened his mouth.
“Can I speak here?”
“are you okay. Because there is no one eavesdropping now.
“…The ‘Dream’ hosted by the Grand Leader is also going smoothly. In addition, great progress has been made in stabilizing the ‘World Engine’ not long ago.”
“okay? “For some reason, he kept not answering my calls, saying he was busy.”
The official name is ‘Jacob’s dream’, and this so-called ‘dream’ project is currently being handled by Chloe and Zubacca together. Even Akira, the head of the ruling faction and CEO of Megacorp, does not know about this.
No, to be precise, the ‘dream’ is disguised as a supplementary project to a plan Akira had prepared for a long time. Additionally, to prevent Akira from finding out, this is being carried out within the territory of Star Union, not Megacorp.
“Once the world engine is completed, the project will be completed quickly. “How much longer will it take?”
“Currently, researchers predict at least one year.”
“It’s been a year. Is it because you got to that point? The progress has definitely sped up.”
Chloe was satisfied and drank the wine again.
Lee asked, pouring wine into Chloe’s empty glass.
“CEO, are you feeling better yet?”
“I checked yesterday and it’s still the same.”
“Is it ‘a coma of unknown cause’? With the Eugene family’s technology, they can’t even identify the cause, let alone treat it. “It’s a strange thing.”
Two months ago now.
He was defeated by Akira, who led the Megacorp/Star Union mixed fleet to subdue Amorph. Fortunately, he wasn’t eaten by Eimoff, but another problem arose instead.
While returning, Akira was suddenly attacked and fell into a coma. Although the identity of the culprit was revealed through the video stored on the ship, it was never possible to determine by what means he attacked Akira.
Of course, no ordinary assassin could make Akira like that. Both of us here know that very well.
“Could it be the work of ‘Aimov’?”
“no. “That won’t be it.”
Chloe shook her head and denied Lee’s words.
If it was that crazy monster, it would have been better to have eaten it on the spot and not let it live. Akira is nothing short of a treasure trove of genetic essence. The culprit is not Amorph but someone else.
‘…There is one person who can guess.’
Beom-ho, ranked 7th in strength and the leader of the returning faction.
His special privilege is the ability to control the minds of others. The possibility that he manipulated the assassin to target Akira cannot be ruled out.
Of course, this is just speculation. There is no need to say it.
And it didn’t matter to her who the culprit was.
“But thanks to you, I have an advantage in the next election. If things continue like this, T&C will get the CEO position.”
“If that happens, we can accelerate the progress of the project.”
The two smiled silently and raised their glasses.
Just as the glasses were about to hit each other, the light came on in the levitating chair Chloe was sitting on.
“huh?”
“Why are you doing that?”
A subordinate of the Carmelda family sent a message. Since there was an important meeting, he ordered the message to be sent later, but he violated this order.
‘Who dares….’
Just as she was frowning, someone knocked on the living room door.
“who is this?”
“This is Senior Researcher Li Zhao’s assistant! “I knocked on the door because I have something urgent to tell you!”
“come in.”
She pressed the button on the chair and the door opened automatically.
A yellow man covered in sweat hurriedly ran in and whispered to Li Zhao. Meanwhile, Chloe checked the message from her family.
‘what is this?’
“Wow, Chloe!”
Li Zhao jumped up from his seat with an embarrassed face. Chloe was also very surprised and did not blame him for his rudeness.
“Are outspacers occurring simultaneously within the Megacorp area?”
“Well, that’s not all! They say the Cult Empire is also being attacked by Outspacers!”
An outspacer that arose simultaneously from Megacorp and the Cult Empire.
She knows what this means.
‘…Empress, you crazy bastard!’
A major incident often mentioned in the history of both powers.
The Outspacer raid has just begun.
