I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 238

Ep. 238

“No defense. Incineration Proto…”

I opened my jaw wide and chewed hard on Screamer’s head. The body of the guy who lost his command collapsed helplessly.

‘It’s over.’

There were so many of them that it took quite a while to catch them all. All around me I saw the remains of melted metal skeletons. The black slime was diligently melting it and converting it into nutrients.

‘Let’s look at the other side as well.’

It’s unlikely, but kids might miss it by mistake.

I swallowed the screamer head that went into my mouth and linked it with the nest.

My senses spread throughout the cave and I sense movements walking across the black slime. There were many creatures walking around, but there was no Screamer among them.

‘No Gallagon died in battle.’

This side’s loss was 0. It was good news in a situation where many of the Gallagons were already dead.

Two of the kids who won the battle are coming this way. As I unlocked the link and waited, No. 26 and PS-111 appeared from the back of the passage.

｢I scolded the bad friends who were mean to the babies.｣

[Zuzuzu (Good job)]

To be honest, I was a little worried that No. 26 would hesitate, but it was unfounded.

When he saw Adhai mourning the loss of the Gallagons, he did not show any mercy to the Screamers. Every time he encountered screamers, the energy supplied through human sacrifice increased explosively.

PS-111 also showed decent skills. Is it because we fought together with the Adhai Gallagons many times? They took turns acting as bait to confuse the enemy.

｢Where did the little one go?｣

“I went to protect the ‘Gallagon’ hatchling.”

As he said, Adhai went to check on the hidden hatchlings instead of returning. I know that the hidden Blue Gallagons are safe thanks to the link with the nest, but Aadhai doesn’t know that fact.

‘I’m worried because a lot of Gallagons have died.’

Although he won with no damage, it was a fight in which the losses were greater than the gains. Many people were killed by them before I returned.

‘Let’s leave it alone for now.’

[Zuuuu zuzuz zuzuz (Adhai needs time)]

“Yes.”

Number 26 also had the experience of losing his people to Megacorp, so he didn’t say much. It seemed like he also thought he needed time.

I called PS-111 to change the subject and confirm an important fact.

“What happened to what I said?”

“As you ordered, we have rebooted the systems of some of the S model screamers.”

The guy proudly took out the results of his creation.

‘This?’

He said this when he first met PS-111. If the opponent is a low-level entity, an S model, limited control is possible.

At the time, the guy put a clue that physical contact was necessary. So I didn’t expect it to turn out so well, but I also didn’t expect it to turn out the way it did now.

‘Only the head remains, right?’

Its three clawed hands were holding each of the Screamer’s heads.

A spine with small chips attached was seen hanging down from the violently torn neck. When I saw the guy holding the head with the spine sticking out, it reminded me of a character who had completed a finishing technique in a classic fighting game.

As I stayed still and didn’t say anything, he seemed to realize that this wasn’t what I wanted. The guy added a word as if making an excuse.

“The resistance was so strong that we had no choice but to subdue it.”

“Can these heads regenerate their bodies like you can?”

“These heads are impossible.”

“why?”

“Self-repair capabilities do not exist in the S model. Moreover, their life support functions are completely dependent on me. You will die as soon as you are separated.”

After hearing that, I realized that the ends of the three vertebrae on the head were all connected to metal hoses protruding from the guy’s back.

‘I guess I’ll just have to take information this time.’

This wasn’t what I originally planned.

If he succeeded in hacking the screamers, he was thinking of forming an army made up of S models.

‘It’s unfortunate, but there’s still a chance.’

If the opponent cannot resist, he may be able to dominate while leaving his body intact. For example, it has just been produced and is about to be finalized.

“If you take control of the system responsible for the production process, you can achieve the results you want.”

PS-111 also said something similar to my thoughts.

Now that the topic has come up, I have to ask. I asked him the most important thing.

“Where are both of their ships, Pyrrha Eleven?”

“I’ll check.”

The guy closed his eyes to view the information. Then the heads he was holding began to tremble.

“Gigikigeek.”

“Ah ah ah ah ah.”

“Gegege.”

The Screamer’s heads are turning their eyes upside down, with only the head remaining. A mechanical sound similar to a beat came out of their mouths. It was a sight that would have frightened any sane person, but there were no ordinary people in this place.

“My friend is strange. Why are you doing that?”

[Zuzuz, zuzuzu, zuzuzuzuzu (I’m looking for an important memory)]

“Memory? “How do I find it?”

Number 26 seemed curious about PS-111’s actions. While PS-111 was extracting information, I chatted with Number 26.

｢Looking at memories seems fun.｣

[Z(Really?)]

｢Yes. A friend becomes the same as a friend.”

[Zu zuzuzu (a little different)]

“Is it different?”

The guy who was depressed about Aadhai showed interest in an unexpected part. I never thought he would be interested in reading or understanding the thoughts of other beings.

‘Do you think there is something to learn from your own people?’

No. 26 has thought of PS-111 as a compatriot since he first met him. So maybe he believes that he can do what PS-111 can do.

‘Read memories.’

Among psychic techniques, there is a technique that reads an opponent’s actions through traces left behind. However, as far as I know, the Sea Demon in the game does not have such characteristics.

‘No, I don’t know that.’

Looking at the case of Odd Grad, it is difficult to think of it only as a standard in the game. Maybe No. 26 could also gain abilities that I don’t know about.

‘Of course, if that were the case, I would have gotten it a long time ago.’

Looking at him, it was more like he was asking questions out of curiosity rather than because of his new abilities. I felt a desire to learn by using abilities unknown to their own people.

‘Learning is a good thing.’

The Sea Demon is a very powerful creature, but in this vast universe, there are countless threats to its life. If you follow me, you will face beings with much more terrifying power than this guy. In order to survive or hunt powerful enemies, you must constantly study.

I petted the guy with a strange feeling. The guy expressed joy at my touch, but didn’t stop asking questions.

While we were talking, PS-111, who had taken all the information from the Screamers, opened his eyes.

“I confirmed the location. Pyrrha Eleven and the ship are in the same location.”

“I’m glad.”

Now that you know the enemy’s location, all that remains is attack.

‘Before that, let’s first bring Heavenly Mother and Ort.’

The dragon’s nest was so large that it was laid out to its limit. Previously installed nests automatically decayed. The Heavenly Mother went to the former nest together to treat Ham Oort. She would know what it means for the nest to disappear.

‘Because you fought with me many times.’

Maybe it’s coming this way by now.

“I’ll hear more details later.”

“All right.”

“Friend, I have a question.”

“Please feel free to ask me anything.”

I left the two of them talking intently and headed towards the direction of the cave entrance.

As I walked along the long, dark passage, stepping on sticky slime, I began to see an entrance.

The light streaming in from outside suddenly became dark. Because someone is blocking the entrance.

｢Seeing that you came all the way here, I guess the situation is already over?｣

｢The Black Fellow｣｢Yuseong’s Daughter?｣

Even the tiger said he would come if I told him to.

There was no need to go looking for them.

–

An unknown planet whose name and route have not been recorded.

The place, which looked dull and gray from the outside because of the clouds in the atmosphere, had recently become rapidly noisy due to the sudden appearance of outside invaders.

The clouds parted, revealing the planet’s surface, and the aftermath of the massive energy collision spread throughout the planet.

The artificially generated energy storm affected not only the inside but also the outside of the planet.

“Minseok, the atmosphere has stabilized.”

“Good. “Report to me when communication lines and satellite radar are restored.”

“yep!”

In the situation room inside Sihyeon Eugene’s flagship, the crew was busy moving around.

Due to recent abnormal weather conditions, communication with the interior of the planet was not smooth. Even two bodies would not be enough to normalize this.

On the noisy bridge, Acting Captain Minseok Eugene was looking at the holographic planetary map with a stern expression.

There was a red mark floating in one part of the map, which had the same spherical shape as the planet.

This is the place where Minseok’s owner, Sihyeon Eugene, led the exploration team down.

‘Damn it.’

Minseok started to not like the behavior of Sihyeon Eugene’s clone.

The master he served devoted his life to ensuring justice for his family. Condemn Akira Yujin, who usurped the position of head of the family, and ensure that the rightful bloodline rules the family. That was Sihyeon Eugene’s purpose and everyone else’s purpose here.

However, the clone of that visionary Eugene seemed more interested in other things than the Great Work.

Is that all? Sihyeon and Eugene are straying from the path they should take. I need to meet the main members of the family and recruit them right away, but they are doing such useless things.

Currently, a civil war is in full swing within Megacorp between Noble Capital T&C and Prime Capital Edgerton. Akira, the CEO, is busy mediating this. This is the only opportunity to quickly increase power without checks.

Sihyeon Eugene also clearly knew this, but instead of going to Earth, he came to this remote planet.

‘I would understand if your goal was to secure credit, but…’

Minseok looked at the satellite radar when it was normal. This planet was a treasure trove of resources. Not only was there a large deposit of Novametal, a cult favorite, but it was also full of creatures with rare genes. If this is utilized well, Sihyeon Eugene’s forces will be able to obtain enormous credits.

However, instead of thinking about earning credits through the planet, Sihyeon Eugene was obsessed with an artifact he had never heard of or seen.

‘Antiquities? ‘That’s nonsense.’

Most of Megacorp’s Noble Capitals own multiple planets. The Eugene family is still continuously exploring planets to expand their gene pool.

Therefore, Minseok knows very well that there are no secrets in this universe.

Secret weapons left behind by fallen empires, relics of ancient civilizations, treasures that operate on super-scientific principles do not exist. These are all just elements created to deceive the ignorant public.

Sihyeon Eugene is ignoring a fact that everyone in Megacorp’s upper class knows.

‘…is it a defective product?’

It was a very blasphemous thought, but Minseok was half convinced. The replica of Si-hyeon that went down for a vain goal is a defective product.

‘I’ll have to come up with a plan when I get back.’

A new clone cannot be created without Sihyeon Eugene’s consent. However, excluding her is an even more serious problem. Because everyone here has gathered to follow Jungwoo Eugene’s only bloodline.

Then there is only one way left.

‘I have no choice but to use the items he left behind.’

There is an item that Sihyeon Eugene left behind before his death out of concern about defects in his clone. If you use it, you will be able to guide Sihyeon’s clone on the right path.

Minseok’s cool gaze was focused on the red mark on the holographic map.
