I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 215

Ep. 215

｢Just now｣｢What is it?｣

[Zuz zuzu zuzu (I don’t know either)]

Adhai, who was riding on my back, sticks out his head and asks.

As I approached the nest, something suddenly jumped out. I wondered if there were any enemies left, so I struck them away with my wings without even looking. Thanks to this, the opponent’s entire body was shattered and he died.

Upon checking the body, it was discovered that the dead subject was a human being.

‘Why are people here?’

He was wearing a specially designed reinforced suit. It was equipment that focused on life support functions such as cold protection and temperature control rather than combat power.

Looking at their uniforms, they looked like researchers or an exploration team rather than combatants, but this is also questionable. He couldn’t have come here alone, so there must be a group or organization that brought him here.

‘This planet is a place that cannot be reached by navigation.’

Jason was able to find this planet thanks to receiving information about its location from fellow players. It was said that the location of this planet was not recorded in the Cult Empire’s route. I too was able to come thanks to Adhai’s detailed instructions, otherwise I would not have been able to come here easily.

In the outskirts of the universe, where few people know, an unidentified human group has already appeared, following the Star Union’s Screamers.

‘Are these people also coming to catch me?’

Jason said that no other players would come here but him. This is because I decided that he alone would be able to defeat me.

However, this is his only opinion and it is unclear what exactly his colleagues will think. Jason may have put up insurance in case he fails.

If you’re unlucky, you may have to fight with new players other than Gallagon.

‘Let’s check.’

I stuffed the tattered corpse into my mouth. While chewing the tasteless meat, I activated the ‘Host of the Human Insects’ trait.

The genetic information contained in the corpse was passed on to the organization that manages the human disease. The organization that received the new information destroyed one of the five genetic information it had previously stored. Even in the nest on its back, the existing one instantly melted away and disappeared, giving birth to a new one.

‘Come out.’

Upon receiving my command, the gnat worm tore the membrane of the tumor-like nest and came out. The bug, which had the same face as the corpse it had just eaten, looked around as if it did not understand its situation.

“?!”

Next, the guy who realizes that he has become an insect starts to go crazy. I forcibly calmed him down by shooting him brainwaves that controlled the Inmyeonworm.

“I have something to ask. “Answer me.”

As a human voice came out of my mouth, the fly monster with a human head began to tremble.

“Who are you and where do you belong?”

“■■ ■son…I am Colin Russell.”

A fly monster that can use human language thanks to my permission. The thing under my control stuttered at first, then gradually stabilized.

“I serve Sihyeon Eugene.”

“Sihyeon Eugene?”

“yes. He came here to accomplish his great work.”

What he said was something I didn’t expect at all.

‘You’re Sihyeon Eugene?’

It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. The first powerful enemy I faced since coming to this world.

‘She must be dead?’

Two of my main traits were obtained by preying on her. ‘Mimetic organs’ and ‘monster tentacles’.

Nowadays, thanks to the essence harvester’s jaws, only the head can be eaten, but this was not the case before. In order to obtain the genetic essence from an opponent, one had to eat it all without leaving a single piece of flesh behind.

‘She’s definitely dead. In that case, it means that he is either a clone or someone impersonating her.’

When she encountered Sihyeon Eugene, she was disguised as a member of the Space Dog Cartel. As the name suggests, her real identity is a member of the Eugene family, one of Megacorp’s Noble Capitals. It is not very likely that they stole the technology to create clones, a core technology of the hostile force Star Union.

‘Besides, cloned humans have many side effects.’

Star Union’s clones have imperfect minds. Since they are only interested in their own identity, they are not under anyone’s control. To put it mildly, clones appear as Star Union’s main enemies in the game.

Would Noble Capital, with its sky-high ego, really invest in such uncertain factors? That is unlikely.

‘Then what’s left is…’

“She died to me a few months ago.”

“no. That can’t be true. “He has never rested for a single day since the day he swore to accomplish his great cause.”

“Great job?”

“Regaining the name Eugene. Punishing the traitor who usurped the position of head of the family. That is Sihyeon Eugene’s fate.”

After listening to it, I can guess something. One of the players Jason told me about was the head of the Eugene family.

‘Did you say Akira Eugene?’

A player who insists on only having a Japanese name and, according to Jason, acts like an old man with a chubby disease.

There is only one ranker with two characteristics. If this guy is the ‘Megacorp Ranker’ I know, there will definitely be a lot of bloodshed when he takes control of the family.

‘The skills are good, but the personality is very shitty.’

He was a ranker who was called a sociopath even in the community, so here he goes even further.

‘I know roughly what the situation is.’

Before being eaten by me, Sihyeon Eugene was likely the representative of the force purged by Akira Eugene. The Russell family is a false family name used by the remnants to hide their true identity.

Since she died fighting me, it must have been quite embarrassing for the purge force.

‘So you hired a double.’

The Sihyeon Eugene he talks about is probably a stand-in for the dead leader. It would seem that someone impersonating her came here with his men.

I asked why I came here.

“Sihyeon Eugene said that there are important relics here.”

“relics? “What kind of artifact is it?”

“I don’t know that either. “I was just told that the artifact was somewhere in the Black Mountains and that I had to find it.”

Afterwards, I asked a few more questions, but nothing more nutritious came out. Even when I asked him about Screamer, he didn’t know anything about it.

‘are you okay. I got all the information I needed.’

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with the players. Conversely, the force led by Sihyeon Eugene, or rather her double, is closer to a force that hates the player.

‘I’ll have to look for it after I catch Od Grad.’

There is one important piece of information that he didn’t tell you. Exploring this barren planet requires a lot of preparation. Weapon equipment and various materials necessary for survival.

Of course, ships are needed to supply it. It’s also a fairly large ship.

‘It’s probably somewhere outside the planet, right?’

If you hit a ship, you can find out what Sihyeon Eugene’s forces are doing and where they are.

After gathering my thoughts, I sent the human insect back to its nest. Then Aadhai, who was bored on his back, smiled brightly.

｢Finished?｣

[zuzuzu zuzuzu (I’m sorry. It was boring, right?)]

｢Okay｣

[Zuzzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzu (let’s just take what’s inside and let’s go)]

I got interesting information from an unexpected place.

Afterwards, I and Adhai robbed the Hellside Hornet’s food warehouse. Thanks to the traces left by Colin Russell, I was able to go straight to the food warehouse without wandering through the maze.

I checked to see if there were any other new sources of information in the warehouse, but no living creatures survived. The confined space was filled with cocoons filled with putrid fermented liquid.

“This” “Taste” “Good”

The guy who stuck his tentacle into the cocoon and tasted it immediately had his eyes widened like a crescent moon. It was my first time seeing Aadhai make such an expression.

‘Is it that delicious?’

I picked one of the dozens of cocoons hanging from the ceiling and drank it all down. My eyes were out of my control and bent into the same crescent shape as his.

‘It’s really delicious?’

The taste was similar to mojito, but had a much more tangy taste. The scent was so exquisite that I felt a refreshing feeling spreading across my throat and entire body. It tasted so good that I almost forgot about the injuries I suffered from the battle.

[Zuzzuzuzu(How many should I take)]

｢Agree｣｢Agree｣｢Agree!｣

I took as many cocoons as I could. Using all of my fighting arms and tentacles, I was able to lift about 15 of them. The rest went into Aadhai and my stomach.

Just like that, we made a clean trip to Hellside Hornet’s warehouse and headed out.

[Zuz Zuzuz (Let’s go back then)]

Adhai and I spread our wings wide and flew into the sky. By the time we arrive at the nest, there will be some movement in the Od Grad flock.

‘Heals wounds quickly in the nest.’

Aiming at White Gallagon, who is out hunting.

‘Then the problem is how to hunt them…’

Even as I was flying through the clouds, I kept thinking about how to fight the Od Grad group.

–

The forest was very old, full of trees with dozens or hundreds of branches. In a place where the lifespan of the youngest of the trees was hundreds of years, an animal was crouching down.

The beast, whose amber eyes resemble lanterns glowing even in the thick darkness, has the head of a flying animal, four legs, and a thin tail. Two sharp horns rose from its head.

The beast plucked mushroom-like plants growing on the ground with its thick paws. He then picked up the plant with his beak and chewed it gently.

Even while it was simply appeasing its hunger, the beast’s gaze was fixed on one place.

The place the beast is looking at is outside the forest. There were sheer rock cliffs and several caves. Most of the cliffs on this planet resemble crevasses where the icy ground cracks, but this wasn’t it.

Rather, hot heat continued to rise from underneath the rock cliff instead of cold air. If there was someone here who could sense psychic power, they would have sensed the vortex of energy rising from the bottom of that cliff.

That rocky cliff that the beast is looking at is the dragon’s nest, the habitat of gallagons.

“….”

The animal Sky Mother, who ate the plant, did not move again and concentrated on surveillance. For the past two days, she hasn’t moved at all, except for brief meal times. I was well aware of how dangerous it was to deal with Gallagon, so I was trying to be as careful as possible.

Moreover, as if she were alone, she now has colleagues behind her.

‘A colleague.’

Sea Demon Gallagon Screamer and.

‘Aimov.’

How would you react if you told your real-life self, Choi Seo-ah, that she was moving with 5th ranked ranker Moff Park? I’m sure you’ll get angry and tell me not to talk bullshit.

I don’t know about Moffak, but she originally didn’t like him. To be honest, it was closer to hating it. If I had met him when I had just arrived in this world, I would have tried to kill him somehow.

‘Because the clan split because of that guy.’

Then she realized. How easy it is for relationships in the game world to break down.

Her clan, the Savage Clan, originally had not that many members due to its unique concept. However, after the battle with Moffak, she was the only one left in the clan. All of her friends got fed up and quit the game or left to join other clans.

Thanks to this, she also had no choice but to be semi-forcibly kicked out into the real world. At the time, Seo-Ah Choi was escaping reality for various reasons, so she hated Mop Park extremely.

‘…It’s ironic.’

Because of that guy, we had to quit the game halfway and get kicked out to reality, but now we are comrades who fought through the firing line. What’s even more surprising is that his relationship with Moff Park has become much closer than that with his colleagues in the Savage Clan.

After confiding my feelings in front of him not long ago, I felt a lot more at ease. He probably doesn’t know.

‘You seemed oblivious.’

Otherwise, there is no way that No. 26 or Adhai would know what they are thinking. It was like that in the game as well, but he seemed to have very narrow interpersonal relationships.

‘No, you don’t know that?’

Neither Heavenly Mother nor Morph Park know what kind of people they were in reality. Even though we had a close relationship, no one brought up that topic first.

‘Isn’t it obvious?’

Now she has a strong body, a slim body, and a nice mane, but she is not like that in real life. Because ‘Choi Seo-ah’, who was not the mother of heaven, was nothing more than an insignificant being below average.

That’s why she didn’t want to tell anyone about Choi Seo-ah. Maybe Morph Park would be similar.

‘If you look at her personality, she obviously doesn’t have any friends… hmm?’

While she was chewing on her food, she stopped thinking when she noticed movement in the nest.

She strained her eyes to concentrate. Several Gallagons were coming out of a cave in the cliff.

‘What about that?’

Two gallagons with green scales were carrying one gallagon to another cave. Gallagon, who was being held by his compatriots, was covered in blood all over, and none of his arms or legs were intact.

‘Ham Oort?’

Gallagon was a mess, but she remembered that look.

The dying White Gallagon, with its horn broken and its wings torn off, must have been Aadhai’s mother ship Ort. The Green Gallagons next to him roughly dragged Ham Ort into another cave.

‘What happened? Wasn’t he dead?’

Considering that he was seriously injured, it didn’t seem surprising if he died right away. And seeing as other Gallagons treated him harshly, it didn’t seem like he betrayed him too late.

‘Have you been taken prisoner?’

That’s when you think it’s important information and you should remember it.

Twelve White Gallagons popped out from another cave. They spread their wings and flew over the cliff and disappeared into the sky.

‘It’s started!’

After seeing them go hunting, she waited quietly for a while. Only after there was no more movement did she move cautiously.

The black sky above the forest fluctuates.

As if in response, thick darkness leapt out from a cave deep beneath the cliff. The shadow that rose without a sound quickly flew up and disappeared into the clouds.
