I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Chapter 334

–

A surveillance office in the Aur star system located close to the red jewel Berzan 02.

The Surveillance Office is an organization that oversees the safety of the entire star system. As a result, it is always busy without any downtime.

But not like today.

The entire surveillance office was put on alert due to an urgent report that came out of nowhere.

“Be, check for traces of bars and bio portals throughout Berzan 02!”
“Outspacers are pouring in!”
“We lost contact with the water fortress!”
“Gu, rescue calls are flooding in! How do I do this?”

All situation rooms in the surveillance office were busy with reports coming in. The inside of the situation room was filled with psychic images created by the cult, so much so that it was difficult to even see the faces of the opponents.

The director of the surveillance office, who was receiving reports from his subordinates in the situation room, thought it would be nice if this situation were just a dream.

Although he had held important positions within the empire for a long time, this was the first time he had encountered a situation as serious as this.

Outspacer’s invasion of Berzan 02. It was a catastrophe that will be remembered in history.

“Director of surveillance! How do I do this?”
“Give me instructions!”
“….”

The knowledge managers were waiting for orders, but the director of the surveillance office could not open his mouth hastily.

Currently, there is a sharp conflict between the Providentist faction and the Innovation faction in the Imperial Diet. If he, who supports the innovative faction, reacts poorly here, it could be a big problem.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can keep your mouth shut forever.

“Well, first of all, the safety of His Excellency the Governor….”
“Please wait a moment.”

Then a familiar voice stopped him. He turned his head and saw a silver-haired female cult member he had met not long ago.

“Captain Alshas?”

The person who appeared in the situation room was Alshas, the captain of the imperial carrier ‘Defender of Berzan 02’.

“I barely escaped just before disaster struck the water fortress.”
“Your Excellency the Governor-General? Or rather, is the elder Kisos okay?”
“sorry. “Providence itself took them from them.”
“Unbelievable!”

When the director of the surveillance office heard the sad news, he almost collapsed on the spot. Kisos, the leader of the innovation faction, is the political mentor of the Director of the Surveillance Office. When we hear that such a being has left Providence, we cannot help but feel greatly shaken.

“Director of Surveillance, now is not the time to be like this. “If you make a mistake, you may lose Berzan 02.”
“Well, that’s right! “We must quickly assemble the fleet…!”

Just as the Director of Monitoring, who had somehow gathered his composure, was about to give an order, Alshas came close to him.

“It looks like you’re having a hard time, but I’ll help you.”
“what…?”

She suddenly whispers in my ear.

He was embarrassed and tried to push Alshas, but his body did not move.

At the same time, the scene inside the situation room in front of me suddenly darkened. The busy cultists seemed completely oblivious to the sudden darkness.

When the surveillance director saw that, he realized.

That Alshas had applied ‘Ultra Control’, a technique that controls one’s mind, to oneself.

‘Why on earth?’

He didn’t understand the situation, but there was no one here who could answer his questions.

“good. “It’s easy to get caught because it catches you off guard.”

Alshas raised the corners of his mouth when he saw the Director of the Surveillance Office who had become a living puppet.

Ultra Control does not work well on those with strong psychic powers. If the director of the surveillance office had not been in a state of confusion like he is now, he would not have been caught.

‘Then let’s deploy the elite fleet.’
“Prepare for the sortie of the Observatory’s elite fleet. “We will strike the enemies in the water fortress.”
“All right!”

Alshas began issuing orders to the knowledge managers through the mouth of the Director of the Surveillance Office.

‘Moffak. You are done now.’

In addition to the 4th rank Empress’s legion, the elite fleet and imperial carriers belonging to the Observatory.

Even if there was someone in first place, they would never win.

Confident of victory, she laughed quietly.

–

In Space Survival, there are only two races that use ‘genetic essence’ as a resource.

Outspacer, which absorbs genetic essence and grows as a colony, and Aimorph, which preys on essence and evolves itself endlessly.

The former is based on the motif of the monster race ‘Jeo

In fact, if you only look at the motif, you might think that they are not very different since both are branched off from the insect-type alien race of a famous science fiction novel.

However, not many people see the two races in the game and feel that they are similar. This is because the characteristics created by genetic essence are different, and the play style is also different.

Unlike Aimorphs, who fight and evolve alone, it is important for Outspacers to upgrade their corps, not individuals. The strength of a colony is determined by how its components are designed.

For example, an entity that goes directly into battle evolves so that it can inflict more damage to the opponent even if its survivability is slightly lower. The individual in command is poor at combat, but specializes in supporting his fellow creatures well.

The same goes for the flying monsters and ‘collecting bugs’ that look similar to wasps that are flying towards me right now. Their role is to collect essence under the queen’s orders. It specializes in moving quickly around the battlefield, taking the lives of enemies and taking their essence.

?Sussssss?
?ssssss?

Countless collecting bugs cling to my body. Then, it started to melt my carapace by spewing out very powerful gastric acid from its mouth.

Due to the settings, Outspacers cannot use psychic power. A queen or royal guard would have evolved to be able to use energy, but it is impossible to make collecting bugs that way.

However, that doesn’t mean you should feel reassured. This is because there are no restrictions on evolving body parts.

Even now, holes are forming in my carapace due to the stomach acid attack from the collecting bugs. This is a carapace that is not particularly damaged by plasma weapons.

‘I mixed the genes of a metallic gremlin with the genes of a creature that vomits acid.’

Just looking at the power, it is much weaker than the acid breath I fire. However, because there were so many individuals vomiting stomach acid, it was quite threatening.

‘I can’t leave it like this.’

I took a spin in the air with hundreds of collecting bugs hanging from my body. The impact caused the insects to fall off the rainwater tree.

?Go away!?
?Suss?!?

No. 26’s tentacles fly toward the collecting bugs that fell from my body. Tentacles with pointed ends like the thorns of a chestnut pierced through the collecting bugs.

Dozens of animals lost their lives in an instant, but the number remaining was much higher than that. Newly appeared insects took the place of their dead colleagues.

They must have thought that No. 26 was more dangerous than me, so they attacked its tentacles.

?Ah, come on!?
[Zuzu zuzu (shorten your body)]

Sea Demon, which has raid boss-level strength, also has very high defense. However, they melt my shell, which has a higher defense than No. 26. It’s not easy for him to hold on.

Moreover, since they are like biological machines with no ego, they are not greatly affected by the ‘terror of the deep sea’. There is no reason for him to grow bigger.

The guy who heard me shortened his body to 10m. Meanwhile, I used my tentacles to swat away the collecting bugs that were sticking around him. Some were eaten by my tentacles, and some were turned into chunks of quartz due to their ‘Medusa organs’.

?Flies??A lot?
?More like wasps than flies!?
“Wasps. Presumed to be the ancestor of the terrestrial carnivorous insect ‘devil bee’. “The last record of it was discovered 400 years ago.”

Not only me, but also Adhai, Heavenly Mother, and PS-111 are diligently moving around and reducing the number of enemies.

Adhai used his wings reinforced with ‘Red Armor’ like dual swords to cut down the collecting bugs. Those who were lucky enough to avoid the attack followed behind Adhai. The goal is to target the hind legs or tail where Red Armor is not activated.

That’s when they open their sharp-toothed mouths and shoot out stomach acid. Agate-colored particles appeared from nowhere and surrounded them. Enemies that touched the particles were crushed in the air like cans in a press.

Behind them was the Mother of Heaven, with her agate-colored wings in full bloom. After rescuing Aadhai from danger, she lured her enemies to the other side.

?Sussssu?
?Suss?

Hundreds of flying monsters keep their distance from the flying griffon and shoot stomach acid.

No matter how ranker you are, it is impossible to completely avoid the acid coming from all directions. The golden fur that had been hit by stomach acid was tanned black.

It was PS-111 above my head that helped her in crisis. It swung its claws implanted with Gallagon’s claw swords and launched a sword blast, while firing a material decomposition bomb from the muzzle at the end of its long tail.

Outspacers cannot use psychic power, but all entities have a certain level of resistance to psychic power. As a result, it was difficult to inflict significant damage with sword wind alone.

Of course, he knew that well, so he aimed for the thin wings instead of the less effective body.

Collecting insects, which have a body similar to a wasp, become extremely slow if even one of their wings is damaged. The slow enemy was handled by Nana No. 26.

My big tentacles and his pink tentacles dance on the ball called the sky. Sometimes the appendages of the eroding tentacles cut the insects in pieces, and sometimes the pink serrated tentacles grabbed and crushed the enemies.

‘The breathing itself is fine, but…’

We are killing dozens of them every second. Despite this, the number of enemies showed no sign of decreasing.

‘That pit.’

I glared at the hole that had formed where Alshas’ mansion was. Even now, insects are constantly pouring out from there. There’s probably a bio portal down there that summons them.

‘Either break the portal or…’

That monster flying around with Alshas and Isabelle on board. I’ve been worried about that guy ever since.

‘It’s my first time seeing this design.’

Its body was wrapped in small, thin tentacles. There were eyes at the ends of the numerous tentacles. Each eye blinked and moved non-stop, perhaps acting as a sense organ.

It is a type of object that has never been seen in a game. It is unclear what genetic essence was applied and what abilities it has.

Considering that it has developed detection organs and that it stays in the rear, there is a high possibility that that individual is the queen.

As I was looking at him for a moment, 3m piles flew towards me from the ground.

The ‘Pilebugs’, 30m tall monsters that appeared after destroying the mansion, are diligently firing at me.

Pilebugs are one of the few organisms in the swarm that utilize energy. However, he doesn’t vomit out that energy directly like I do.

Instead, it circulates a huge amount of energy in the body without stopping. Using the power generated there, it fires biological bullets called ‘bio files’ out of the body. In that respect, it can be seen as similar to the principle of firing a firearm.

The problem is that the penetration power of those living piles is very high. It is useful when dealing with heavily armored enemies or battleships.

In other words, from my point of view, flying around in heavy armor, it is a very annoying enemy.

‘It won’t work.’

As time passes, more entities will come through the bio portal. You have to do something, whether it’s eliminating the queen or destroying the bio portal.

And I have a weapon that is optimal for dealing with enemies made of organic matter.

‘I need to use the colors of the abyss.’

Outspacers, whose entire race is like biological weapons. There is no weapon more deadly to them than this.

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzu (Everyone go to the ground and take care of those guys)]
?What about you??
[Zu zuzuzuzuzu zuzuzuzuzuzu (I’m going to wipe out the collecting bugs)]

Since there are so many collecting bugs around, if we make a mistake, our side may get involved. Since I didn’t have to worry about being alone, I decided to send all the kids to the ground.

“good. “I’ll see if the cold bloods are okay on the way.”
“Big adult” “Be careful.”

Immediately after the two left, I activated the color of the abyss.

A word from the author (author review) Dear readers who took the CSAT yesterday, thank you very much for your hard work!

I hope you get good results. ? Watch the next episode”
