I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 234

Ep. 234

The forest is moving. An artificial metallic sound can be heard amidst the sound of the wind blowing between the trees.

Hundreds of screamers are coming this way.

｢Elder Adult｣｢Kingdom｣｢Are you okay?｣

Adhai, who was hiding behind me using me as cover, asked worriedly.

‘Not all of them would have died.’

The place where we and the Screamers are now is the forest on the other side of the cliff where the nest is located.

If you come out of the forest and go to the steep cliff, you will see a huge river flowing between them. This is the road that Heavenly Mother and Ham Ort used to escape.

And the cliff across the river has numerous caves here and there. This cave is the entrance to the dragon’s nest.

Just looking at the terrain itself, it is a natural fortress that is not easy to attack. A Screamer without the ability to fly would have to suffer a significant amount of blood loss to penetrate that area.

‘It’s expected, but it’s highly likely that the Gallagons are fortifying.’

I guess it is true that many of the gallagons in the nest are dead. At first, they would have come out and fought the Screamer, but as the damage became more serious, they would have changed their strategy and chosen to defend themselves inside the nest.

If the Gallagons had been wiped out, the enemies would have surprised us from the nest instead of here.

[Zuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (don’t worry, I’ll take the opportunity and go to the nest)]

｢Okay.｣

Gallagons who are sensitive to psychic power would have definitely sensed Aadhai’s arrival. However, the fact that it did not come out means that the situation inside the nest is not good. Maybe something bad happened to Nell Germa, who was in charge of the nest.

‘I guess I’ll have to join the nest side.’

The distance from the nest here is not that far. I think I should fight them and then take my chance and make my move.

Even while I am lost in thought, the enemies are still moving. The movement detected by the auxiliary organ under the chin increases exponentially.

While I was wondering what timing would be best to strike, number 26, who was held in my small arms near my chest, tapped me.

｢Big baby.｣

[Zuzuz (What’s wrong?)]

｢I feel similar to a friend over there.｣

[Zuzuz Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzu Zuzuzuzu (They’re not friends, they’re bad enemies)]

PS-111 Commander-level mutant screamers, including , contain the Sea Demon’s genes. Because of that, No. 26 considers PS-111 to be similar to its own kind.

‘I guess it’ll be okay since I scolded him so hard last time…’

I thought he might hesitate again, so I tried to warn him again, but No. 26 was the first to make a fuss.

｢Bad kids are talking to each other.｣

[zuzu zuzuzuzu (talking?)]

｢Yes. “I don’t know what you mean because you just use difficult words.”

I tried concentrating on the auxiliary organ again, but other than the weak electromagnetic waves coming from the special machine, I couldn’t feel any psychic waves.

‘Is this a wavelength that only the Bubble Amoeba Sea Demon can detect?’

“No. 26 detected their conversation. “Can you hear anything?”

As I asked the question, a voice came from above. It was PS-111, completely hidden in the tree branches.

“It is impossible to use and detect the dedicated line for the PS model because it has been rebuilt as an independent line to fit the new main controller.”

“okay?”

If you can eavesdrop on their communications, you can take advantage of the enemy’s plans. PS-111 is said to be impossible, so there is nothing we can do. I asked No. 26 if he could relay what he heard.

“What the hell?” Uwag Tayoung?｣

[Zuzu zuzuzuzuzu zuzu zuzuzu (I think it means a strike to bypass orders)]

｢What is a strike to bypass orders?｣

Unfortunately, even though No. 26 could eavesdrop, he did not understand what it meant. It would be nice to have time to slowly interpret the information he intercepted, but that’s impossible.

‘No, wait a minute.’

While I was feeling sad, an idea suddenly occurred to me.

No. 26 can create an EMP-like effect by spreading its psychic power widely. The force is strong enough to stop a ship sailing through space.

‘Then wouldn’t we be able to prevent them from contacting us?’

When I asked him if he could, he beamed and said he could.

“I can tell you to be quiet. Shall we do it now?」

[Zuzzuzu zuzuzu zuzu (No, if I give you the signal)]

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to write it right away, but I decided to wait longer.

As you can see from PS-111, it is a biological weapon that Mutant Screamers learn through battle. Even if you block their communication, if one or two of them sneak out, it’s like losing a card.

‘You have to aim for a situation where you can make a sweeping move.’

And there are so many gaps in this place for them to escape.

At that moment, I could see them between the trees.

There is a pale human face on the head, but underneath it is a mixture of mechanical parts, tubes, and a hard metal skeleton.

The biomechanical body had eight long legs. Three alloy claws can be seen at the ends of the legs, which are made up of exposed red muscles and metal tubes, without any skin.

They resemble mechanical spiders with human heads, and their eyes glow red.

No emotion was felt in the red eyes other than the goal of tearing the enemy to pieces.

I opened my jaw wide and activated my acid-fungal glands. An oval green lump flew out of my mouth and hit the base of a tree far away.

In an instant, the tree with the top part of its roots melted fell down in the direction they were coming from. Some of the running screamers launched themselves into the air.

And I fired a psychic breath at them in the air. The breath of the dragon that appears in the movie literally poured down on them.

“Defense the room with black metal…”

The screamers floating in the air were unable to finish their sentences and crumbled into dust. The screamers following behind saw that and started talking.

“Special Target A. Confirmed to use ultra-high risk psychic breath.”

“Recording.”

As expected, they were recording their battle with me. Perhaps that information will be immediately sent to their leader, Pyrrha Eleven.

‘doesn’t care.’

I have more than one or two characteristics. And some of the effects can be changed at will.

‘Sometimes what you know can be worse than what you don’t know.’

I deliberately leaked information to the enemies and continued to pour out psychic breath. Purple flames engulfed the densely grown trees, but the Screamers were able to dodge them well.

“Confirmed that improved cluster bombs are not effective. Replaced with high-velocity impact bombs.”

“Confirm replacement order.”

Meanwhile, other screamers also approached where we were. As the distance became close enough to be seen with the naked eye, the screamers prepared to shoot. Their legs twisted and transformed into a shape similar to the gun barrel of an RPG-7.

Then, their muzzles are pointed directly at my head.

As a light flashed like lightning in the dark forest, I felt a sharp pain in my head.

‘It’s a high-velocity impact bomb.’

Just as Megacorp uses a plasma launcher when dealing with heavily armored enemies, Star Union also has a similar weapon.

HSB (Heavy Shock Blaster) is a piece of equipment nicknamed the so-called shocker. According to the setting, it is a weapon developed to counter heavily armored biological weapons such as Megacorp’s Hulk Mutant, and boasts considerable killing power.

This is because the shocker’s bullet does not penetrate the enemy, but causes ultravibration upon impact, causing damage to the inside of the armor. For example, if a thickly armored creature such as a mountain crawler is hit by a high-velocity impact bullet, the inside of the body will be completely destroyed, even if it looks fine on the outside.

Because of that, I also felt a sharp pain in the area where I was hit, even though there was no scratch.

‘I responded quite smartly, though.’

Unless they have thousands of high-velocity bombs inside, it would be impossible for them to kill me. Even if my insides are in shambles, I have many means to quickly restore my body, including regenerative properties.

‘Besides, Shocker has its drawbacks.’

Then they fire high-velocity bombs again. Along with the toxic smoke, chunks of alloy flew in from all directions to smash my head.

But none of the high-velocity bombs reached my head.

“An incomprehensible situation occurred.”

“It is assumed that the laws of physics have been distorted due to the enormous psychic power. “Analysis required.”

Bullets are floating in the air as if time has stopped. Anyone sensitive to psychic power would be able to tell that the bullets were caught in a net made of invisible thread.

｢I really hate kids who hit older babies!｣

The owner of the transparent net shakes his tentacles vigorously.

The high-velocity impact bullet changed direction and began to fly toward its owners and explode. The screamers probably didn’t expect this and exploded before they could avoid it.

In the meantime, I took out two cards to confuse them.

‘It’s time to work. ‘Everything comes out.’

The tooth fairy’s nest located just before the start of the carapace on the tail and the human face bug host that nested on the back when not hunting were all activated.

Fleas with big teeth tear the nest on my body and fall to the floor. On the back, human face bugs with the faces of intelligent beings and the bodies of insects tear open the membrane resembling a human face and emerge.

‘The tooth fairies disturb them, and the face bugs keep commander-level entities in check.’

The army of bugs moves under my command.

“Enemy entities multiply.”

“Small in size. “Cannot be responded to with high-velocity impact bombs.”

Tooth fairies crossed the shallow snow-covered battlefield and clung to the screamers’ legs. And it gnawed at the metal skeletons with its hard teeth, which could even destroy aircraft carriers.

“Ignore small objects. Instead of shooting, engage in close combat…Geek?!”

Commander-level PS models located in the rear flinch after being attacked by Inmyeon bugs during command. This is because the entire body was paralyzed by the sound waves emitted by the insect.

‘It wouldn’t have worked if it were a machine, but not with them.’

Mutant Screamer is a fusion of biology and machine. And although it is controlled by machines, hearing still exists and is therefore subject to paralyzing sound waves.

“Presumed to be an attack targeting hearing. “Everyone turn off hearing…Geek!”

[Zuzzu zuzuz zuzuz zuzuz (targeting the paralyzed and the fallen ones)]

Mutant screamers can self-destruct if necessary. If its function is not stopped, we never know when it might explode and cause harm to us.

Adhai heard my wave and quickly fired a psychic breath. The guy who was good at shooting repeatedly quickly took care of the incapacitated screamers.

“Special Target B has been confirmed to have a special shield.”

“Cannot be unlocked with existing equipment. “You have to aim for areas without shields.”

They also looked for the moment when Aadhai would expose his head to shoot his breath, but it was no use at all.

Because even his head can be protected with red armor. No matter what weapon you bring, you cannot crush Adhai’s head.

Of course, there were quite a few screamers trying to target the body or wings, but each time I spread my wing arms to protect them.

In other words, the Screamers are unlikely to win unless they kill us all at the same time.

‘It’s the same for us too.’

I expected that there would be hundreds of them when attacked from the sky, but it was indeed different. There were too many of them.

Moreover, as time goes by, their response skills are getting better.

Right now, we can’t respond because a series of unique attacks are coming from here, but even that has its limits. If they find a strategy, this area will also suffer great damage.

‘If you make up your mind to destroy yourself, you won’t be able to respond.’

So, you have to move to the nest quickly.

I moved little by little while dealing with them. Some of the screamers gave up shooting and approached me.

Each time, I responded by pulling out my erosion tentacles. Long tentacles like snakes came out from my back and struck the guys. Then, luckily, a screamer escaped the tentacles and came inside.

The moment he took aim to shoot No. 26 with a cluster bomb, a dark blue energy bullet flew from the tree. Screamer, whose head was blown off by the bullet, collapsed on the spot.

“We will not forgive anyone who touches the main controller.”

“Need to keep enemies in check on trees.”

“Confirmed to be a discarded PS model. The model year is estimated to be number 100. Check your weaknesses.”

They seemed to have changed their target to PS-111 instead of me and rained bullets on the tree. In the meantime, I put Aadhai on my tail and ran toward the nest.

“The enemy’s movement path is expected to move towards Gallagon’s nest.”

“We have to stop it before it joins…gigeek.”

The screamers quickly figured out my intentions and tried to attack me. However, I was unable to properly stop it due to the interference from the Tooth Fairies and Human Insects who had received my orders, and the active checks from the kids.

“Main Controller Pyrrha Eleven’s commands have been modified. Retreat and reorganize your battle lines. “Additional response plans are being prepared.”

“check.”

Perhaps because there was an order from the leader, the screamers stopped chasing us.

PS-111 and I escaped through the gap to the cliff where the nest was.

As soon as I left the forest, I spread my wings without hesitation on the cliff I saw. The insects that flew out after stopping their checks also clung to my back and returned to the place they came from.

“thank you.”

Holding on to PS-111, who was following behind me, with the claws of its tail, I glided and entered one of the nest entrances.

Not long after stepping into the cave, a Gallagon appeared from inside. It was the skinny White Gallagonsha Belmarg who first rebelled against Od Grad.

｢Shah Belmag｣｢Great Adhai｣｢Welcome｣

The guy’s condition was never good. Its wings were torn here and there, and all of its hind legs had been blown off, so it was crawling on its front legs.

Adhai, who saw this, shot a thought wave filled with embarrassment.

｢What happened｣｢What happened?｣

｢Smelly enemy｣｢Raid｣｢White kin｣｢Strength｣｢Combined｣｢Barely｣｢Putting out｣｢Kingdom｣｢Multiple｣｢Death｣ ｢What about Nell Germa?｣

｢

Nell Germa ｣｢Injured｣｢Serious｣｢Activity｣｢Unable｣

Gallagon is an important combatant. I can’t lose everything like this.

I grabbed Char Belmag with my fighting arm.

[Zuzuzu (Guide)] Following the guidance of

“Gil” and “Over there,”

we entered the dragon’s nest.

The entire cliff here seemed to be a dragon’s nest. The cave was very long and had many intersections. The width of the passage was wide enough that I had no problem walking around, and it wasn’t dark because there were minerals that absorbed psychic power here and there.

To be honest, it was such a beautiful place that I wanted to leisurely observe it unless there was an emergency.

After passing through such a long and complicated natural maze, we came into an open cavity. The light of the minerals sparkling like starlight illuminated the countless fallen Gallagons.

“Everyone” “Injury” “Severe!”

It was just as Adhai said.

There was a shallow lake in the center of the cavity, and because Gallagon’s blood had flowed into it, it almost looked like a lake of blood.

‘It won’t work.’

There is only one way to treat this many Gallagons. I put down Sha Belmag and crawled into the lake.

Soon, black mucus started pouring out of my body.
