I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 201

Ep. In the world of 201

Space Survival, the ability to travel through space is very important. It’s a game set in space, so it’s only natural.

However, the point at which space travel becomes easy varies from species to species.

Space pirates who make a living by robbing other ships, such as Megacorp, who started as a Space Dog patrol ship captain, are capable of space travel from a very early age. This is because they are a force that is recommended to use their own ships to engage in smuggling or recruit mercenaries.

On the other hand, there are races that specialize in activities in space, but advance into space at a late stage due to various restrictions.

For example, in the case of metallic gremlins, they are capable of space travel from birth, but have limited means of exiting the atmosphere. Outspacer can go straight into space as soon as it starts, but it doesn’t have much meaning because it doesn’t have any defense measures.

In the case of Metallic Gremlin Outspacer, you can play the game easily only after laying a sufficient foundation on the starting planet and then going out into space.

If we had to classify Amorph, it falls into the latter type. It is possible to survive in outer space without any major problems, but it is difficult to advance early due to the lack of space flight capabilities. To go to another planet, you must infiltrate the player’s or NPC’s ship and move there.

As you grow step by step, once you gain the ability to fly in space, your play style will change a lot from then on. This is because the stage of activity moves from moving on a single continent within a planet to the entire universe, at a small scale.

‘The ability to fly in space also comes with the ability to travel at faster than light speeds.’

However, this does not mean that you can use it at any time. Faster-than-light travel consumes an enormous amount of energy. Therefore, as much preparation is required as when infiltrating another ship.

‘If you just use it without thinking, you’re likely to run out of energy and starve to death.’

Before setting off, you need to eat as much food as possible and make sure you have supplies to replenish while on the move.

Another drawback is that it cannot be used during battle. There is a long waiting period before moving at faster than light speed, so if you use it during battle, you will be killed by enemy ship guns.

‘In the game, I had to use it carefully because of this risk…’

It’s different in this world. Because I have another interstellar navigation ability.

The only characteristic is ‘Nightmare Horizon’. It is a characteristic that assimilates with a spaceship and turns it into a type of biological ship.

‘If you look at just one, it has many limitations and is difficult, but if you have both, it’s a different story.’

Nightmare Horizon and Monster’s Reinforced Wings. Each has distinct advantages and disadvantages.

Nightmare Horizon’s utility is much lower, but it can store much more energy, making it suitable for ultra-long-distance voyages across star systems. Instead, it has the disadvantage of being able to only take control of one spaceship once every seven days.

Conversely, the monster’s reinforced wings are effective for movement between planets or within a planet. Unlike Nightmare Horizon, it is not easy to cross the star system several times due to food supply issues.

In other words, depending on how the two characteristics are used, they can compensate for each other’s shortcomings.

‘When on a planet or inside a star system, it would be good to use the wings and when you want to move far away, you could attack the ship and use Nightmare Horizon.’

There may be many other uses, but let’s look at them little by little.

I looked down at my arm where the ‘monster’s reinforced wings’ had been applied.

The first trait I acquired after coming to this world was ‘wings’. At the time, like insects such as scarabs, it usually covered its body like a carapace and unfolded when necessary.

However, the wings obtained this time have a very different shape. Of the six combat arms I have, the uppermost pair of arms turned into wings.

Originally, all of my combat arms were the same length and shape. It only changes when using a special transformation mode.

However, the arm with wings is now much longer and larger than the other arms. I would say it’s roughly between 2 and 3 times. Even if you stretch out your wings and arms without bending your upper body at all, the tips of your fingers are long enough to touch the ground.

The carapace of the arms has a row of small holes covered with a thin membrane, and these are the holes that spray the propellant needed for faster-than-light travel or space flight.

And except for one of the four fingers, the rest became very long and strong. A large skin grew between the changed fingers and across the entire arm. It can be thought of as having a shape similar to a bat’s wings.

The outside of the skin is covered with scales, making it feel rough and rough, but small downy hairs grow on the inside, making it very soft to the touch.

The outer surface of the wings is relatively hard and is resistant to energy weapons. Its defense is at a level that can block the plasma cannon mounted on the ship at least once, so it can be used for defense when in a hurry.

‘It’s not a good choice because it gets torn if you get hit often.’

The size of the capsule is almost as large as my body, but it is now folded so it is not that big. When the wing arms are folded, the film flows down, making it look like it is wearing a very large cloak.

‘Amorpha wearing a cloak.’

If it evolves into an adult in this state, it will look pretty cool. This is because it has a similar shape to the three-headed dragon that appears in classic Japanese monster movies.

‘adult.’

Now that I have gained the ability to freely roam the universe, I can fulfill the evolution conditions faster than before. Now that I have acquired a superior means of transportation, the entire planet is my hunting ground.

There is still a long way to go before becoming an adult, but the conditions will be met faster than before.

“Do you like it that much?” As

I was looking at my wings and feeling happy, the Mother of Heaven came towards me.

After the effect of the symbol of hunting ended, everyone retreated for a moment in case I attacked them. Unit 26 and PS-111 followed behind her.

[Zuzzuzu zuzu (I made you worry)]

｢What. I already knew everything.」

｢Big baby, are you full now?｣

[Zuzzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (I’m sorry I ate too much)]

｢Babies usually get hungry quickly, so it’s okay!’

When the side effects of the image were over and I came to my senses, The only food left in front was half the body of a female Crystal Wing. The male’s body went into my stomach, leaving nothing behind.

“As a result of conducting preliminary simulations of the energy consumption of the enhanced form, it is estimated that a sufficient amount of energy has not yet been distributed.”

[Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzu (It’s okay now that reason has returned)]

“I heard that ‘Aimorph”s shortcomings can be removed through genetic modification. We recommend that you eliminate this shortcoming by consuming other organic substances.”

Even if you don’t say it, I think so. Now that I have the flying ability I want, I need to catch a shark bear and get a new characteristic.

[Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzuzu (If we finish eating, let’s go find food for the birds)]

｢Good!｣

“Good.”

No. 26 and PS-111, who were engrossed in eating Crystal Wing’s meat, responded energetically.

“Oh, by the way, I have something to show you.”

Instead of answering, the Heavenly Mother showed me a small piece of metal. The item she showed me was a half-melted ivory metal moonsilver.

[Zuzu Zuzu Zuzuzu (Moonsilver? Where did you get this?)]

｢I found something being digested in the intestines of a female.｣

She was examining the female while I ate the male’s head to get the characteristics. This was because the heart and organs had to be consumed to increase the level of deification. The piece of Moonsilver must have been discovered while working.

‘But why is Crystal Wing Moonsilver?’

I looked closely at the Moonsilver fragments.

[Zuzuzu zuzuz (It’s not in mineral state)]

“Yes. “It’s a refined Moonsilver alloy.”

When I heard that, I had an idea. She nodded silently, probably thinking the same thing as me.

Moonsilver is a mineral mainly used by cults. Moonsilver alloy has the effect of amplifying psychic power effects, so it is often used not only in weapon reinforcement suits but also in ships.

Then there is only one answer.

‘Jason.’

It must be traces of the spaceship he and his men came on. Looking at the degree of melting of the metal, it seemed that some time had passed since it had been extinguished.

‘I think it’s been at least a day.’

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (Anything else besides this?)]

｢I didn’t find any other traces.｣

If the male body was still left, I would have looked further, but unfortunately, I ate it all.

‘It’s a spaceship.’

When interrogating Jason, who became a criminal, we already heard that he brought several subordinates with him. And the fact that his men set up camp in Black Gallagon’s nest.

It would have been impossible originally, but it was a miracle made possible thanks to Black Gallagon’s close relationship with his fellow players.

‘He said he would never leave until he came back.’

However, looking at the current situation, it is highly likely that the subordinates suffered a disaster while trying to leave the planet. There is no way Crystal Wing would enter Black Gallagon’s territory and attack the cults.

‘Or is it a completely different force?’

Perhaps pirates formed into a cult may have set foot here. Like Muriel’s cartel.

‘There’s no need to make it complicated.’

If necessary, you can find out for yourself.

After organizing my thoughts, I looked at the kids. No. 26 and PS-111 had already finished their short meal.

[Zuzuzuz (Did you eat well?)]

“Yes.”

“I’m satisfied, but I need more energy.”

[Zuzuzu (Really? That’s good)]

I guess I ate some food and got some wings.

It is the perfect time to fly and hunt.

–

“All repairs have been completed.”

“Phew, that’s a relief.”

The captain, who had been anxious while the ship was being repaired, finally sighed. This terrible planet was filled with all kinds of terrifying monsters.

‘Not even a crazy day has passed and there have been 6 attacks!’

The spot where the cult cruiser crash-landed was near the side of a very large mountain. Although it was quite far from the gallagons’ nest, it was not a safe place.

Falling from Gallagon’s nest meant that there were many other wild animals living there. So, I expected there would be attacks, but I never dreamed that we would be attacked this often.

If it weren’t for the Temple Guardians, experts in hunting monsters, the crew of this ship would have long ago become food for wild beasts.

‘Still, I’m glad the Garan Agates didn’t come back.’

Garan agate has a special outer shell, so it cannot be caught by detection equipment. It is not easy to avoid their attack unless you see it with your own eyes or use special psychic power techniques.

In the first place, they suffered a disaster when they tried to leave the planet due to Garan Mano’s damned characteristics.

The temple guards turned on their eyes and watched for fear that they would attack again, but fortunately no such incident occurred.

“Providence helps us. Then everyone prepare for takeoff!”

“yes!”

Following the captain’s order, the crew began to move busily. The engine, which had stopped operating, burped and the hull, which had been chilled by the cold outside, became warm.

The cultists in the situation room used psychic power to synchronize with the newly awakened cruiser. The information stored at the time of the crash was transmitted one after another into the minds of the synchronized cult members. Among them, important information was displayed as a translucent image composed of energy in the center of the situation room.

“Engine activation 70%. “Continuing to rise up to 100%.”

“Energy remaining 67%. “Good.”

“Closure of damaged area completed.”

“Ready for takeoff.”

“good. “Get your engines ready to jump as soon as you go off-planet.”

“yep!”

“Watchers are to report any Gallagon or other threats as soon as they occur.”

“All right.”

After completing all preparations, the ship slowly began to rise in the air. The ivory-colored, long, lozenge-shaped cruiser shook slightly when first buoyed, but soon flew up into the sky without a problem.

‘Please don’t encounter any threats…’

“Vital signs are approaching quickly! “It’s Gallagon!”

“shit!”

The cult in charge of external surveillance of the ship quickly reported. At the same time, a tactical map in a much more elaborate form than the holograms created by Megacorp or Star Union was printed above the situation room.

A triangle-shaped marker was approaching the diamond located in the center of the tactical map.

“Can you confirm the color of Gallagon?”

“Based on its size, it is assumed to be green. If it moves on its current orbit, it is expected to collide with the target in 5 minutes.”

“…Turn to evasive maneuver, but maintain the current speed as much as possible. “Get away as fast as possible without counterattacking.”

“All right.”

Judging by the speed at which it was flying at full speed, it didn’t seem like they were trying to approach from the other side with friendly intentions. I don’t know why, but it was clear that they were targeting this cruiser.

That time when the crew is all nervous when an enemy suddenly appears.

The crew members in charge of surveillance and search turned pale.

“Emergency report! “Another unidentified target is approaching!”

“what?”

“In terms of size, it is at least white! The speed is incredible! “One minute left until crash!”

Everyone in the situation room was taken aback by the completely unexpected news. The captain, barely able to keep his composure, gave an urgent order.

“Ready to start the superlight engine! “Monitors should share video images captured by external cameras!”

“We can’t make it in time to start the engine!”

“Holy shit! Guess it somehow!”

While the atmosphere was tense, a video taken by an external camera was displayed in the middle of the situation room.

‘What about this?’

The captain was shocked when he saw it captured on camera.

It was like a black meteor floating in the dark sky. This is a bad omen that appears whenever a great disaster strikes the empire, according to Providence.

A black demon was approaching them, flapping its huge wings.

“uh? “What is that?”

While everyone was frozen at the sight of that fearful being, someone’s dumbfounded voice rang through the situation room. After hearing those words, the captain’s eyes were focused on the tempered glass on the front of the situation room.

A place full of only black clouds. There was something in that place where there was a snow and hail storm.

A black shadow that flashes every time lightning strikes.

The terrifying being captured on camera attacked them with its mouth wide open.

“Everyone is about to crash…!”

The moment the captain shouted at the top of his voice, the cruiser shook violently.
