I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 342
–
‘omg?!’
Alshas opened his eyes.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the white ceiling. The design had marble blocks arranged neatly, creating a luxurious atmosphere.
But I couldn’t feel its beauty at all because of the terrible stench coming from somewhere.
‘W-Where are you?’
White ceiling and terrible smell. I had no idea where I was.
I tried to turn my head to check my surroundings, but my body didn’t move. I had no feeling in my whole body and could barely blink my eyes.
‘Now that I think about it, back then…’
She recalled what happened before she lost consciousness.
When she encountered Aimorph, she immediately used ‘Simulacrum’ without any hesitation. The intention was to run away while buying time with the clone.
It wasn’t a bad idea, and the result was pretty good. While he was tearing the clone to death, she was able to safely climb out of the airship.
I ran toward the door of the hangar, leaving behind the clones that were shrinking in real time. But along the way, something unknown pricked the back of her neck. By the time I felt the sting, I had already fallen to the floor.
My current physical condition was like that, and I felt like I had been poisoned with paralyzing poison. He must have moved her collapsed body to this room.
‘…You need to recover quickly.’
I don’t know why he was kept alive, but he is the infamous Aimorph. If I don’t quickly regain my senses, I don’t know what will happen.
“Are you awake?”
Then she heard a woman’s voice in her ears. It was a familiar yet strangely different voice.
‘Who is it?’
“I am PS-111. He serves the main controller ‘Sea Demon’ and the sub-controller ‘Aimorph’.”
‘Amorph? Wait, how did you know what I was thinking?’
“Eimov spoke. The subject had the ability to create clones using his voice. So I made it so I couldn’t speak.”
‘what?’
“But don’t worry. “I can confirm all the thoughts of the test subject.”
The condition for activating the simulacrum is to bleed from your hand and then shout a command into the blood.
Looking at the unidentified voice speaking, it seemed like they didn’t even know that blood was needed.
However, if she thought about it in her head, the other person would notice, so she quickly thought of something else.
‘Where is this place?’
“This is the ‘Giga Cracker’ built by Megacorp Noble Capital St. K. “I am managing it under the command of the sub-controller.”
‘…Giga cracker?’
“yes. Please note that this is a remodeling factory. “It was created by consolidating unnecessary facilities.”
If what he says is true, escaping will be very difficult. There is no way that Aimorph, who has obtained a super weapon, will be lax in managing it.
The good news is that the owner of the familiar voice answers the questions she asks. If you lure him out well, you might be able to get out of here safely.
‘PS-111. Can you help me? I am a person without any sin. Having to fight with him and Eimoff is not what I wanted. It was planned by those above me.’
“Is that so?”
‘yes. ‘You can read what I’m thinking, so you know what I’m saying is true, right?’
She is adept at deceiving others, whether in reality or in this world. Managing your thoughts is very easy.
“It cannot be confirmed as false based on the body’s reaction.”
The other person was silent for a moment and then affirmed. She gained confidence and got straight to the point.
‘You don’t need to help me with much. Just one thing, please tell me where the hangar is. I’ll take care of the rest.’
“The hangar is at the end of corridor 51.”
‘thank you! What a kind person you are!’
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Once you know where the hangar is, the rest is easy. Once your paralyzed body is relieved, you can overpower your opponent and run right away.
As she was trying to hide her joy at finding hope, the other person’s voice continued.
“But even if I know the location, I can’t go there.”
‘yes?’
“This is because the subject’s body is not suitable for movement.”
For someone telling us not to run away, the content was strange.
If the captor tries to escape, they usually threaten to kill him or tell him not to go because it is dangerous. It is rare to be told not to go because it is not suitable for transportation.
Moreover, he has been calling her a test subject since a while ago.
“Now that I think about it, in the current state, it is impossible for the test subject to check the body on its own. “I will help you.”
As soon as the other person finished speaking, I heard the sound of friction between metal and my vision shifted. The bed she was lying on was raised like a chair.
Thanks to this, she clearly knew where she was. I wonder where the bad smell that has been bothering me ever since came from.
The only thing in the space surrounding her that could be described as clean was the ceiling. The walls had exposed steel frames and wires, like a building with little interior work, and the floor was littered with large and small machines and equipment connected to cables.
The machines were filled with corpses of cult members and unidentifiable chunks of black meat. There was a lot of red blood and black liquid underneath.
‘What is this?!’
“To create a new body for ‘little brother’, a significant amount of organic matter is needed, but Gigacracker does not have cultivation facilities. “Those are organic substances supplied by Amorph.”
The other person spoke as if to answer her question.
“But when it came time to transplant your brother’s brain, fresh organic matter was not available. “There were frozen test subjects, but that wasn’t enough.”
Next, the owner of the voice appeared.
‘!’
Above the bloody slaughterhouse stood a spider with several metal legs on the head of a human woman. It was holding something dearly with its skeletal legs.
“So, I reused the organic matter that makes up my body to create a temporary body capable of minimal life activities.”
The monster that introduced itself as PS-111 was holding another ‘monster’.
A face that is a mixture of human, cold blood, and mechanical parts, and even an elongated torso made by splicing together body parts of cult members underneath. If the being talking to her was a spider with a human head, then that monster was closer to a centipede with an intelligent body grafted onto it at random.
‘A monster made by knitting together intelligent beings? no way?’
Only then did she realize what the being was talking to her.
Chimera, a mixture of living things and machines, is the only one in Space Survival. The Star Union’s cursed biological weapon, Screamer.
“There is an error in my thinking, so I am correcting it. My brother is not a monster. “We have obtained all the necessary materials, so it will be completed with an excellent and efficient body.”
After saying that, PS-111 pulled out a hand mirror from the blood-soaked clothes. And Alshas’s appearance was reflected in the mirror.
‘uh?’
“The test subject’s arms, legs, and various organs were used to manufacture and experiment with my brother’s body.”
When she saw her reflection in the mirror, she felt her blood run cold.
There is a cult with only the head and body remaining on a chair-shaped bed.
Arms and legs, alluring silver hair, all gone. Not only that, there were cables and wires stuck to his head, and a thick oxygen tube stuck to his neck.
The cult member who was in such a miserable state was none other than Alshas himself.
“Aimov said that as long as you don’t die, it’s okay if only the head remains, so do whatever you want with the rest.”
‘Wait a minute, wait a minute!’
“Currently, the arms are used to complement this area, and the legs are used to complement this area here. Since the compatibility is excellent, we will remove the organ parts next.”
PS-111 kindly explained, pointing to this and that part of the terrible monster’s body with his sharp claws.
Seeing that, she immediately understood what he was trying to do. That monster was going to use her as material for that screamer.
‘Si, I hate it! ‘I don’t want to be like a screamer!’
“Only the body will be used by me, and the brain and head will be consumed by Amorph, so there is no need to worry.”
‘If that’s the case, kill me! ‘I don’t want to live as a slave forever!’
Alshas begged with tears and snot running down his face.
PS-111 carefully laid down the upper body of the artificial life form he had created and approached her. Then he bent down and brought his pale metal-covered face close to hers.
“Eimov spoke. “The reason your brother’s body is collapsing due to an unidentified virus is because of the experiment subject, no, you.”
‘Is it because of me? ‘What on earth have I done!’
Alshas didn’t know who said the monster was his younger brother. I felt unfair because I didn’t know why I had to suffer like this.
But PS-111 had no intention of explaining this in detail. The monster put down the mirror and raised its claws.
“You don’t need to know. “The explanation ends here and we move on to the next step.”
‘All right, next step? Heehee?!’
“Thanks to the neurotoxin I injected, there will be no pain.”
Even as his body was disintegrating alive, Alshas’s eyes continued to waver.
It was only the eyes of PS-111, the red camera lens, that watched her silent screams.
–
「Fluffy and delicious!」
「Taste」「Unique」「First time」「Eat it」
「I never imagined that Vortex One would taste like this.」
Above the hangar, three monsters are eating while chatting.
In front of them was the enormous corpse of Vortex One.
「It would be good for older children to eat too.」
「Agree」「Older adults」「Food」「I like it」
「I’m tired, so it’s better to let it rest now.」
The golden-furred griffon turned his head to appease the other two monsters.
Where their amber eyes were directed, a beast as large as the corpse in front of them lay prone.
A space monster that won against ‘Ring of Agony’, one of the demons of the universe.
Aimorph, loved by the Sea Demon and Red Gallagon, was currently in a deep sleep.
‘It was hard.’
Even though he was covered in wounds from a series of battles with powerful enemies, he couldn’t rest right away.
Because there was still some urgent work left for him to help with.
In Berzan 02, he sent PS-111 to Gigacracker first to save Isabel, the 22nd ranker. Then, she was sent to use Gigacracker as the Joker.
Thanks to Amorph, she returned to Gigacracker and checked PS-111 and Isabelle’s situation.
And I realized that Eimov’s predictions were very wrong.
‘I never thought we’d run out of organic matter.’
Because Gigacracker was not a research ship, there were no separate cell culture facilities on board. Still, the reason Amov wasn’t particularly worried was because the bodies of No. 26, Adhai, and the crew members she hunted were quite stored.
However, PS-111 said that a human corpse alone could not create a suitable body for Isabelle. Mutant Screamer can operate without problems if several genes are mixed and made to complement each other.
Come to think of it, I’ve heard it from Amov before. It seems like the rankers who created the mutant screamer also went through a lot of trial and error.
Because of this, when she arrived at Gigacracker, PS-111 had already removed her body and used it to create Isabelle’s body. Thanks to his sacrifice, Isabel was able to overcome a great crisis.
‘I don’t know if it’s right to say that we’ve passed the turning point.’
Isabel’s former body completely collapsed as a result of summoning Vortex One. All that PS-111 saved was his twin brother’s brain, eyes, and a very few other organs. Of course, thanks to his quick response, he was able to protect at least those parts.
First of all, he says that since he has somehow prevented brain damage, there will be no problems with his intelligence even if he is resurrected in a new body.
Actually, that part was the problem.
Even if she were to be resurrected in a new body in that state, the question is whether she should be considered Isabel or not, whether she would be able to adapt well in the new body. If you’re not careful, you might end up blaming PS-111 for resurrecting you as a monster.
‘still….’
Only by living can you hate someone and resolve that hatred.
It would be a waste to send it away like this. Having worked hard for her sister, she deserves to enjoy happiness with her family.
In any case, a large number of corpses had to be rescued quickly, so she relayed this information to Aimov as soon as the Ring of Anguish died. He also recognized that the situation was urgent and moved immediately.
‘Still, I never thought you’d ask me to use Vortex One’s corpse.’
As soon as he heard her words, he removed parts of Vortex One’s body and moved them to the hangar. The reason was that having Vortex One’s body would help create Isabel’s new body.
‘Besides, he said I would need it too.’
As Aimov said, among Wolff’s exclusive equipment, there is an item that requires Vortex One’s body as a material. If you obtain that equipment, you can obtain a similar effect as raising the deification level by half.
‘I heard he secretly cares about me.’
They say it’s insurance, but both he and she know that they don’t actually think of it that way.
‘…Well, the fact that they brought in so many cult corpses was a bit disappointing.’
The next thing he brought after Vortex One’s body was the corpse of a cult member from the surveillance office.
In the aftermath of the fight between Aimorph and the Ring of Agony, there were massive casualties within the Observatory. It came with intact arms and tentacles full of corpses and poured them into the hangar. Most of them were cults, but there were quite a few slaves, so PS-111 was satisfied.
Immediately after retrieving a bunch of corpses, he returned to his original form. Since the strengthening effect was over, I thought I would collapse right away like before, but surprisingly, I endured it.
This is because Alshas still remained.
Using Aimorph’s unique extra senses, he found the airship that was wandering around the Observatory and brought it back. Alshas, who was inside, tried to escape somehow, but failed.
‘If I had decided to fight, it would have been quite annoying.’
The panicked guy was beaten by PS-111 who came to get the body. Eimov left Alshas’s treatment to PS-111 and immediately fell asleep.
Since he fell asleep, she took care of the rest.
40 Coldblood slaves saved by Isabel and MPS-05. The airship they were on was wandering in the orbit of Berzan 02, so they had to be brought in.
Since it wasn’t a particularly difficult task, it was over quickly, and the Cold Bloods are currently resting in the cabin used by the Giga Cracker crew.
After everything was over, they left the Aur system. Gigacracker, which traveled at faster than light speeds, is currently wandering in an unclaimed star system.
‘Then we should think about the treatment of slaves.’
The battle is over, but there is still a lot of work to be done. She glanced at Eimov, who was sleeping as if dead.
‘You can think about it later.’
We can discuss the rest together when he wakes up.
‘Discuss with Eimov. If it were a game, you’d think I was crazy.’
「Ugly friend」「Big adult」「Why」「Are you looking at me?」
「Huh?」
「From before」「Continued」「Did you see」
「Huh? Uh, that’s…”
The unexpected question brought a feeling of confusion into her thoughts.
「Ugly Friend」「Big Adult」「Do you care?」
「Care? I? Nonsense. Why do you care about me?”
“Is the middle child worried about the older one?” Do you care?”
“No. “Not at all.”
“Really? Really?」
「Emotions」「Suspicious」「Suspicious」
The guys, who usually bickered over trivial things, somehow got along well.
「Oh, that’s not it. Actually, I think the big baby is
hungry.
‘
I shot it with random thoughts, and surprisingly, it worked.
「Cut the delicious fluffy pieces and give them to you!」
「Agree」「Eat」「Strength」「Become strong」
The two monsters stopped questioning her and prepared to feed Aimorph some Vortex One meat.
‘phew.’
Seeing that, she sighed softly and took a bite of Vortex One’s flesh.
The taste of meat that the amber-eyed griffon felt was a rich chocolate taste.
