I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 283
Episode 283 – Cleaning up afterward (2)
‘What about this?’
The message in the text box was about the sign of a new powerful enemy.
There are a total of 3 perks taken from Jason before. Two of them were combined with the characteristics I possessed, becoming ‘Color of the Abyss’ and ‘Shape Ruler’ respectively.
Since it did not have the material properties to synthesize just one, it remained as an imperfect sign of a powerful enemy. Before coming to the fortress, I had acquired numerous characteristics, but there was not a single characteristic that suited me.
So I forgot, but I never thought I could get it here.
‘If you ask for a warp creature, that is?’
There is one thing I can guess.
Jason’s teleportation ability.
The guy’s head was cut off by me while he was using his ability, so only his body moved.
Among psychic power techniques, there is no technique that can move long distances at once. It either strengthens the body to move faster or is limited to moving a friendly target to a nearby point.
And, as far as I know, there is no long-distance teleportation equipment among the equipment worn by individuals rather than ships. At most, will there be a ‘Coordinator’ obtained as quest reward equipment?
Unless Jason created new equipment that did not exist, it would be reasonable to assume that this perk is closely related to the ability to teleport. Coincidentally, the characteristic that responds is the ‘Warp Creature’, which shortens the preparation time for faster-than-light navigation.
‘Whatever it is, it would be quicker to see it in person.’
The mark of a strong enemy is also subject to attribute enhancement. You can consume up to 10 material properties to create a stronger ‘Token of a Strong Enemy’.
‘It just so happened.’
Before getting the internal organ type, I just got whatever I could to increase the number of traits as much as possible. Thanks to this, I have accumulated many characteristics.
Thanks to the ‘Essence Rearrangement’ effect, which is the first stage reward for the space monster type, the type once acquired is maintained permanently. So, it would be okay to consume unnecessary characteristics here.
‘But we can’t write them all, let’s just write about five.’
There is still a need to combine the two unique characteristics, so there is no need to invest all of them here.
‘There is no need for heat dissipation secretion and heat dissipation. Also, strengthening digestive juice secretion is easy to obtain, so let’s add this as well, and add muscle strengthening and bone density strengthening.’
After setting the five material properties and selecting OK, the Strong Enemy Mark system was immediately activated.
｢The perk of ‘Jason (Jason Turningham)’ and the characteristics of ‘warp creature’ are combined. ‘Intervention of Warp’s ■⫯⪿⨕∬attribute enhancement system!｣
｢Evolve with the ‘Starlight Coordinates’ attribute!｣
｢Starlight Coordinates: You can teleport ordinary objects and friendly creatures to specific coordinates or make them travel at faster than light speeds.
*Caution: You cannot move for at least 1 minute after using the trait. The larger the object, the longer it will be unable to move.
*PS: Even those who decided on the constellations would never have imagined that there would be a being that travels directly between the stars.
“Starlight coordinates?”
Although it is a trait related to teleportation, it was slightly different from what I expected.
‘It’s a trait that allows other creatures to move.’
In Space Survival, there are only two creatures that can move other beings alone. The newly acquired strong enemy’s token characteristic had a similar effect to the ability possessed only by the two.
‘I need to experiment right now.’
Since it is impossible to confirm if you request faster-than-light navigation, we need to check teleportation first. I looked around and picked up the broken gun.
‘But how should I use it?’
I’ve decided on what to move, but I don’t know how to move it.
Similar to ‘Nightmare Horizon’, I pulled out the tentacle to see if it was moving with the erosion tentacle, but there was no response. I tried to spread the wing membrane like I did when traveling at faster than light speed, but again nothing happened.
‘How should I move it…’
While I was wondering, as I got closer to the gun I was holding with my fingers, the auxiliary organ under my chin twitched against my will. As the end of the auxiliary organ pointed toward the gun, a text box appeared.
｢Confirmed as a movable ‘item’. After moving, activity is suspended for ‘1 minute.’
‘You are designating it as an auxiliary organization.’
The role of a delicate sense organ, following its role in detecting future danger, has created a third role. I designated the object to be moved to the auxiliary organ and raised my head up.
‘It’ll be fine over there.’
The place to move items is the upper part of the command center covered with a shielding wall.
I memorized the image and concentrated as if I were sailing at the speed of light. Then the auxiliary organ began to glow blue. As if in resonance with the auxiliary organ, the gun glowed blue and soon disappeared between my fingers.
‘Confirmation…oops.’
I tried to raise my head to check if I had moved properly, but my body didn’t listen. It was like I was being held down by scissors, and even though my mind was fine, I couldn’t lift a finger.
A moment later, the sound of a gun hitting the ground was heard nearby.
｢Hmm?｣
｢Big adult｣｢Dwarf｣｢Thing｣｢Disappeared｣
｢Big baby, are you sleepy? “Why are you still?”
“It looks like they are experimenting with something. “Let’s wait a moment.”
“Yes.”
The kids think it’s strange that I stay still. It seems that Mother Heaven sensed that I was experimenting with my newly acquired powers.
After a minute while everyone waited quietly, control of my body quickly returned. I shook my head once.
‘There’s still a little time left in one minute.’
You can’t move for a minute, and even after that time passes, it takes a few more seconds for your frozen body to recover.
‘If I’m going to use it during battle, I’ll have to use it with good judgment.’
‘Starlight Coordinates’ was a very useful feature when used well, but it was also a very risky feature.
‘Shall we experiment with something other than guns?’
Looking at the text box, it is said that as the size of the object increases, the time it cannot move becomes longer. Other than that, there were no particular restrictions.
‘Is it possible to move this fortress as well?’
I bent down and placed the assistive organ close to the floor.
｢Confirmed as a movable ‘item’. After the move, activity was halted for ‘6872 hours.’
‘This isn’t going to work.’
When I saw the message that I couldn’t move for more than 6,000 hours, I gave up. Time is time, but not being able to move with a sound mind for 6,000 hours is no different from hell.
Unless a way to save time is found, moving large objects is on hold.
‘Next are friendly creatures.’
Due to the setting and system, there can be no beings that are friendly to Amorph. Except for one exception.
‘You probably mean the object to which the symbiotic spores were implanted.’
It’s not clearly explained in the text box, but it’s probably correct. I used the assistive device under the chin to get close to the kids.
｢Itchy!｣
｢What is it?｣｢What is it?｣
｢…Hey, wait a minute. “What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
Just as each person reacted differently, the messages in the text box were also different.
No. 26 and Adhai were classified as friendly creatures, but they were not the Mother of Heaven. This may be because the symbiotic spores were forcibly released as the level of deification was raised.
[Zuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzu (Help me for a moment. I have something to experiment with)]
“If you’re going to do that, tell me in advance.”
I transplanted the symbiotic spores back to the Heavenly Mother and prepared the starlight coordinates. A blue light fell on the golden fur that covered her body, and her figure disappeared in front of her.
At the same time, a blue light flashed like when traveling at faster than light speed on top of a collapsed building in the distance, and she jumped out.
｢This seems similar to the warguide, but is it a little different?｣
｢Wow! “How did you do it?”
“Ugly Friend” “Star Power” “Can I use it?” “Amazing”
She spread her wings on top of the building and flew towards me. No. 26 and Adhai chattered about how amazing teleportation was.
“It looks like there are some restrictions.”
She frowned slightly as I was not moving due to a penalty. The penalty was lifted a minute later, and I belatedly nodded.
[zuzuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzuzuzu zuzuzuzuzu zuzuzuzu (It’s a trait that allows you to teleport creatures or objects. They say it’s possible to travel at faster than light speeds)] ｢In return, you can’t move after using it?｣
[
Zu Zuzu (exactly)]
｢Hmm. I think it would be useful when there are no ships or during a raid.”
As expected of a ranker, he quickly picks up the pros and cons.
I was about to exchange opinions with her about starlight coordinates when No. 26 tapped me with a tentacle.
“Big baby. me too. “I want to do it too.”
[Zu (Huh?)]
“I want to do it too. Ta-da!」
“I” “I’m curious” “Me too”
Looking at his reaction, I think I need to do more starlight coordinate experiments.
after that.
Experimentation with the new talent ended after the Bone Beast effect ended.
The guys played to their heart’s content and seemed quite satisfied with the results of the experiment.
‘It’s okay if you like it.’
Thanks to this, I learned about parts that were not written in the text box.
For example, the penalty received after moving an object was affected by my body size. There was a difference in penalty time when comparing when the bone beast increased its length to 80m and when it returned to its original size.
‘Should I find a way to bulk up?’
When they become adults, their bodies will be larger than they are now. Still, moving a huge structure like a fortress must be daunting. If we want to drastically shorten the penalty time, we will have to find another way.
For now, I decided to end my analysis of the newly acquired token of a powerful enemy.
‘There’s still work to be done.’
I crawled into the shield wall with my small body again.
[Zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu(Is there anyone left inside?)]
｢Dwarf｣｢Still｣｢｢｣
[Zuz zuzuzuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzuzu(Let’s clean up here and go pick up PS-111)]
｢Yes! My friend might be hungry, so let’s bring some food!」
[Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (It’s food. There will be a food warehouse here too, so let’s look for it)]
｢Food warehouse?｣｢What does it mean?｣
｢Me know! “It’s a place full of delicious food!”
“Phew. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten some human food.”
[Zuz, zuzu, zuzu, zuzu (let’s put the rest on the boat)]
“Thank you.”
We chatted with each other and looked around the headquarters.
Hidden pirates and survivors attacked us, but the outcome did not change. It didn’t matter whether it was the 1st or 3rd Command. Every moving being other than us has been purified.
Kesha Arma, who once exalted the glory of a cult empire.
It took less than a day until there was not a single human left in the great space fortress.
After cleaning up, my kids and I boarded the ship and left the fortress.
Shortly after we left, the fortress crashed onto a nearby mining planet. Before leaving, PS-111 damaged the fortress’ nuclear reactor, rendering it unable to remain in orbit.
All traces of me have disappeared, so no matter who comes, they won’t be able to find the culprit that caused Kesha Arma’s collapse.
Leaving the exploding fortress behind, the pirate ship under PS-111’s control entered super-light travel.
I fell to the floor of the cargo hold, feeling the energy flowing inside the ship.
The view from the cargo bay was much different than when we arrived at Kesha Armah. This is because new containers that were previously unseen were added. That huge frozen container is filled with ingredients brought from the headquarters. As a result, the hardened human stone statues were pushed to a corner.
‘Now then, all that’s left is…’
I ate one of the statues like it was candy and opened the translucent text box.
｢’Semi-Adult’ – >’Adult’
Apex 30/30 (achieved)
Unique characteristic possessed 8/10 (not achieved)
Type possessed 6/6 (achieved completed)｣
｢’Transcendence’ Material List: Reinforced Skull Gallagon’s Horn Thorn Hair Projection Tail Protein Assimilation Cluster Skin Tissue｣
｢’Transcendence’ Material List: Reinforced Large Tail Bioelectricity Discharge Tube Explosive Body Fluid Launcher Destruction Sonic Spore Cannon｣
Completing these two characteristics will achieve all adult evolution conditions. .
‘The Eucharist is just around the corner.’
It is the last remaining gateway before evolution. After adding the two unique properties and the strengthening material properties, I chose synthesis.
Mucus pours out of the body.
My consciousness gradually sank into the pouring mucus.
–
Huge flames rise from the dead planet. The metal star that orbited the planet had met its fate.
Hundreds of sensing organs that were watching this suddenly turned their sights.
Those who killed Sky Star left behind only a small blue light in the endless darkness.
Hundreds of sensing organs looking at the blue remnants. The being with a bunch of thin external organs did not move at all.
Unlike its appearance, which seemed as calm as a rock fragment floating in space, the being’s mind was complex. This is because a large amount of opinions were exchanged through their own communication system that only they used.
[His squire died.]
[He who kills a squire is dangerous.]
[‘Predator’?]
[‘Predator’.]
[Don’t you chase ‘predator’?]
[‘The Empress’ said. ‘Predator’ is stronger than ‘Queen’. So do not chase it.]
[Report the death of the squire to the Empress.]
[The Queen is important to the colony. Come back.]
After getting the answer she wanted, the ‘Queen’ retrieved the ‘hundreds of eyes’, the sense organs that protruded from the top of the outer shell, into her body. When all the eyes were put in, the Queen’s body began to glow blue.
Her people come from beyond the infinite universe.
Humans call them ‘outspacers’, meaning those who exist outside.
Only a halo of blue light remained where the Outspacer Queen left.
