I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Chapter 331

Starshark, nicknamed the space shark, is one of the subspecies of Skywhale.

However, even if it is a subspecies, it is much weaker than Skywhale, which is classified as an Apex creature.

Comparing its size, the Starshark cannot exceed 5m. It is a world away from Sky Whale, whose body length exceeds tens of meters on average. Likewise, its combat power is very low. If Starshark was an Apex-class creature, it would have been impossible to tame it with weapons.

The appearance is also very different. Skywhale looks like a whale with 6 wings and 8 eyes, but it is not a Starshark. They resemble a marlin with transparent skin and two wings.

Because the skin is transparent, the internal organs are clearly visible, and the bones even contain luminescent substances. Thanks to this, the fish bones appear to be floating when viewed from a distance.

These two creatures, different in every way, have one thing in common: they feed on energy.

Star sharks do not obtain nutrients by eating organic matter like ordinary creatures, but live by inhaling various types of energy.

However, like space whales, they do not have the ability to convert the consumed energy into photon cannons. Instead, it stores the energy it eats in its wings and uses it to move its body quickly. Thanks to this, it is much more agile than Sky Whale.

And Starshark has one more important advantage that space whales do not have.

They have a ‘herd mentality’ like outspacers or metallic gremlins.

What this means is that the entire group follows the leader’s control. It is thanks to this feature that the Eye of Revelation priests tamed the ferocious space sharks. A number of Star Sharks can be easily controlled through a thoroughly trained leader.

And now, hundreds of ghost fish are standing in line and attacking me.

I prepared an enhanced ‘Acid Fungal Gland’, or Acid Breath. A thick liquid welled up from inside the three-pronged throat. Without daring to block that feeling, he vomited it towards the enemies descending to the ground.

Three acidic heat rays with terrifying destructive power tore through the air. The buildings blocking my path were hit by the heat rays and split in two.

The Star Sharks quickly widened the gap. They skillfully avoided the heat rays and falling building debris.

The priests riding the 5m bio-fighter paid no heed and pointed their material decomposition weapon ‘Slayer’ at me. Hundreds of dark blue energy bullets rained down on me.

I spread my wings wide to protect them from getting hit. Every time the Slayer’s light bullet hit me, the carapace and scales disappeared in clumps.

I was thinking of using a ‘complex spectral object’ that can reflect attacks, but I plan to save that for when I fight rankers.

I didn’t block the enemy’s attack and just took the hit. The Slayer’s attack, which decomposes matter, caused quite a bit of damage to me, but it didn’t matter. This level of injury can be covered by the regenerative ability.

‘Anyway, you have to take a fair amount of damage for it to be effective.’

After firing once, the priests tried to circle over my head and into the sky, like birds of prey catching prey in the river.

At that moment, the children who were protected by my wings ran out.

Adhai was the first to fly and penetrated the group of priests.

?King of the Sky??Similar??Die?
“Oh no! Everyone’s bleeding…!”

The guy swung his wings covered in ‘Red Armor’ towards the space sharks. Wings with absolute defensive power even gained acceleration? It’s literally like a flying guillotine. Starshark, whose leather was not as strong as Skywhale’s but was quite hard, was cut like paper.

The Mother of Heaven appeared behind Aadhai, who had gone ahead. She followed closely behind the enemies who were gaining altitude. Every time the griffon, which was a combination of a lion and an eagle, flapped its wings, agate-colored particles spread into the air.

“Keuok?!”
“Knock!”

The ability she gained as she rose to the level of deification is to spray particles that can manipulate pressure. The bodies of the members who were touched by the particles were crushed like crumpled paper.

The Star Sharks that lost their pilots were dealt with directly by Heavenly Mother and Adhai.

“Priests! Switch to the long-distance shooting camp!”

The person in the lead shouts in a loud voice. Except for a few to kill time, the rest quickly slipped out of our attack range.

Other warships can be seen flying behind those who have widened the distance. Seeing a few battleships sparsely visible among the patrol ships, it seems that all nearby ships have come here.

“Bad people!”

Number 26, who was hiding inside the carapace on the back of my head, also recognized that a new enemy had appeared. He launched himself onto the water that filled the center of the city.

The guy fell and the turbulent water rippled slightly.

And then a huge pink tentacle popped out through the water. Tentacles reminiscent of octopus legs, except for their color, wrapped around the remains of collapsed buildings and other buildings.

Among the numerous tentacles, there was a body tens of meters long in the center. The appearance was reminiscent of a sea monster crawling up from the deep sea.

Countless eyes were floating on the purple and pink body.

Hundreds or thousands of eyes emit an eerie light and look at the enemies. The psychic power flowing through No. 26’s now gigantic body swelled like a balloon.

Sea Demon’s unique skill, ‘Terror of the Deep’, unfolds in the middle of a water fortress. Thanks to the auxiliary organs attached to each head, the form of the energy aggregate is clearly visible.

“A large amount of psychic power is converging.”
?…Is that really made by No. 26??
?Yes??Little Adult??Full Power?

The psychic illusion created by No. 26 was a ‘me’ so large that it reached the end of the bio-dome. In addition, it had numerous eyes all over its body, making it look even more sinister than the original.

Fear of the Deep Sea is a trait that drives multiple enemies crazy by showing them scary illusions. Even just looking at it makes me think it’s scary, but the enemy must be terrifying. The Star Sharks under the control of the priesthood became frightened and began to leave their ranks.

You’ll be lucky if you just run away. Some became confused and attacked their owners or other sharks. The orderly camp suddenly became a mess.

But none of the pilots blamed this. They too must have been gripped by quite a bit of fear. If they hadn’t received advanced training, they would have ended up like those animals.

Those who did not lose their senses fell to the rear to avoid the rampaging Star Sharks. And prepared to fire with the battleships.

The members on the space shark aimed the Slayer at me and No. 26. The battleships and patrol ships also turned their main guns in our direction.

After a short preparation time, large and small weapons opened fire.

A meteor shower of dark blue and purple colors covers the sky. I stood in front of number 26 with my wings spread wide.

A halo of light that was as deadly as it was beautiful struck my entire body. The Slayer’s energy bullets turned my carapace into dust, and the battleship’s main guns tore the flesh and muscles inside the shattered carapace to shreds.

?Pain reduction activated!?

A familiar message came to mind, but it was more of a wishful thinking. My body is breaking down faster than it can be recovered by my regenerative properties.

?Big baby!?
[Zuzuzuzuzzuzuzu (don’t worry, it’s okay)]

Currently, I have a characteristic that my energy output and strength become stronger as my injury gets worse. Traits obtained from Apex creatures hunted on planets inhabited by Aadhai’s horde.

‘Tyrantroid.’

The fruit has ripened.

I no longer feel the pain that came from being mercilessly broken. Two hearts within the chest pump sadistically, producing enormous amounts of energy. If I was feeling the way I am now, it would be okay if all my limbs were torn off and only my head and torso remained.

I can feel the current covering my lower body shaking. It’s not because of No. 26 or other factors that are causing it to waver. The water is shaking because energy is leaking through the body’s biological pipes.

Heads imbued with great power move slowly.

If only there was someone who could see psychic power with their own eyes.

My appearance now will appear to be wrapped in purple radiance.

The moment the three heads wielded their power, the sky shattered.

–

A dark warehouse.

The miscellaneous items on the floor were slightly dusty. Among them was an interstellar communication device resembling a 1-meter obelisk.

It looked like a warehouse rarely visited by outsiders, but there was one unusual element.

The walls and ceiling are covered in bizarre patterns. The pattern itself was creepy, but what was truly bizarre was the color.

Sometimes purple, sometimes green, sometimes golden. All kinds of colors were intertwined and shining.

The light of the pattern begins to flow like waves.

Light that moves slowly as if hundreds of millions of ants are moving around.

What was at the end was a curved sword.

As the light touched the blade, the warehouse became dark. This is because the pattern has lost its shine. All that remained of the warehouse was an unpleasant-looking mural.

In the darkness, Isabelle, the short Coldblood, stood up.

She watched the scene from beginning to end and held the curved sword on the floor in her hand.

“…preparations are complete.”

To others, it was just a curved sword with a little dust on it, but to her, it looked different.

The planned ceremony is a success. Now she is like a grenade with the safety pin pulled out. If you let your guard down even for a moment, it explodes.

The relief that comes from achieving a goal, and the fear of the future ahead. While I was in a complicated mood due to ambivalent feelings, the basement suddenly shook violently.

“What about that now?”

With the curved sword on her waist, she hurried out of the warehouse.

The first thing she saw outside was warships flying in the sky inside the biodome. The direction the warship was heading was towards the center of the water fortress.

And the destinations of those countless ships looked completely different from usual. The artificial waterfall, the landmark of the fortress, was nowhere to be found, and most of the skyscrapers surrounding the waterfall were also collapsed.

“no way?”

While I was concentrating on my ritual in the basement, the water fortress became a battlefield.

It was very clear who caused this situation.

‘Goofy! ‘Just leave!’

Now that the ritual is complete, this city, no, this planet cannot avoid destruction.

I made arrangements to leave in advance, but I had no idea it would turn out this way.

‘First of all…’

The slave district where Isabel is located is quite far from the center that became the battlefield.

But no one knows when the fire of war will hit this place. We must somehow quickly evacuate the hidden Coldblood slaves.

“Where are you going?”

The moment she was about to move quickly, a voice from behind called her out. Knowing who the owner of the voice was, she stiffened.

The person you most want to meet in this situation is behind you.

“I bet you haven’t forgotten our contract.”

She was troubled by the words of the being who communicated with her every day through the tombstone.

To prepare for this situation, we have prepared a trump card, but there is one problem. If I played that card here, the legacy my sister left behind would evaporate.

“…I haven’t forgotten.”

In the end, Isabel decided to aim for the right timing.

“good. “I’m glad you have a good memory.”
“….”
“Follow me. “I think Moppak, who runs wild without fear, needs some proper discipline.”
“I will follow your orders.”

She obediently followed what the other person said.

The other person is a bastard who is good at doing dirty tricks. Even though the water fortress has become a battlefield, it is clear that they are up to something.

‘I don’t know what you’re thinking…’

This time things won’t go as planned.

Just before boarding the private airship, the curved sword hanging from my waist briefly glowed.

It was similar to the eerie light that colored the warehouse.
