I Became an Evolving Space Monster

–

“Holy shit! “Why isn’t the light on yet?”

Frank shouted inside the dark situation room. The light of the flashlight in his hand wavered, representing his feelings.

“Well, it looks like there is a problem with the energy management system.”
“so?”
“I guess I’ll have to go and check for myself…”
“What the fuck? The fucked chews are around. If we can’t move the ship right away, we’ll all be lost! know?”

I tried to run away while the mysterious ship caught my attention, and this is what it looks like.

After the ship suddenly shook violently, many of the internal facilities became inoperable. The life support system was still operating, but there was no relief.

If he doesn’t run away right away, his future is only set.

‘shit!’

I’m glad that the newly appeared ship is taking its time, but I don’t know how long that luck will last.

“you. “Fix it here until it gets back to normal.”
“yes? but….”

Anxiety and resistance appear in the eyes of the subordinates. Frank knew that too, so he added a word.

“know. You bastard. “I’ll go and check, so wait here.”
“Ah, yep!”

The subordinates, who had been anxious, looked relieved when the deputy commander said he would go and check it out in person.

“Your personal communicator works, right? Turn it on and wait. “You, you follow me.”

Frank, holding a plasma rifle in his hand, left the situation room with two of his subordinates.

The hallway where the energy supply was cut off was really dark. The three walked on the metal passageway, relying on the light of the flashlight.

“Why is it so quiet?”
“Where has everyone gone?”
“Shut up, you bastards.”

Even though it is immersed in darkness, it is the road I usually take. As long as you have a flashlight, there is no problem in moving around.

The problem was sound.

The hallway they were walking through was extremely quiet.

Even if there was a problem with the ship’s equipment, it was not normal for no sound to be heard this much.

But Frank was rather relieved by this silence.

‘There’s still time.’

If a group of metallic gremlins attacked, there was no way it would be as quiet as it is now. We must run away as quickly as possible before their airstrikes begin.

While they were thinking like that, a fork in the road appeared in front of them. Unlike his men who tried to go right, Frank headed left.

“uh? “Isn’t this the way?”
“If you go this way, you’ll find a hangar…”
“I know.”
“yes?”

From Frank’s perspective, it was impossible to escape with this ship. Even before the ship collided with something and ended up like this, there was already a problem with the propulsion. At that time, the fate of this ship was already decided.

“Escape this ship by boarding the aircraft carrier.”
“yes?”
“You’re boarding an aircraft carrier when there’s a bastard outside?”

The subordinates looked like they had heard a ridiculous joke, but Frank was sincere.

There are a lot of metallic gremlins out there. Since there are so many mouths to feed, they will naturally target the larger prey first.

“You can just fucking bounce while I kill time on this boat.”
“Uh, well, that’s…”
“The cartel won’t sit still!”
“As long as the three of us get along, we won’t get caught. So just shut up.”

With those words, Frank aimed his plasma rifle at his men. The subordinates kept quiet.

“Don’t think about unnecessary things, just be careful….”

While he was warning his subordinates, he heard a sound. It was the sound of light footsteps and heavy breathing.

He wasn’t the only one who heard the sound. The flashlights held by the three of them were pointed forward into the thick darkness.

Eventually, the person who made the footsteps appeared in front of them.

“what?”
“Is that the vice-minister’s…?”

The opponent was a cyborg slave brought by Frank. The naked sex slave ran and fell into the arms of her master.

“Why are you here?”
“Lord, master! “There’s a monster over there!”
“what?”

All three of them stiffened at the word ‘monster’ that came out of the slave’s mouth.

Frank sent a hand signal to his men. The two subordinates moved towards the front, tense.

The moment they turned right at the crossroads at the end of the hallway, they had no choice but to stop.

‘Why did you stop going….’

Frank, who was following with a rifle, thought his heart would stop as soon as he saw the scene.

The floor and walls made of alloy plates were drenched in red blood. Above it stood something with a metallic colored skin.

The being with what seemed to be dozens of arms was swallowing something whole. Two legs were briefly visible between the blood-covered arms, and then disappeared.

The monster that swallowed one pirate in an instant saw the light of the flashlight and slowly turned its head.

The face of that being was more fascinating than the sex slave Frank was holding. If it weren’t for the blood on the corner of its mouth, you wouldn’t have thought it had killed and eaten a pirate.

The monster with eyes as blue as the sky stared at the pirates and opened its mouth. The jaw opened wide enough to easily swallow a person, and two hooked teeth reminiscent of tusks protruded from the jaw.

“Hey?!”
“Ugh!”

The pirates screamed as their exotic faces turned into hideous monsters. They tried to attack the monster with the laser rifle they were holding. However, the monster’s movements were much faster than that.

The monster approached in an instant and used its long snake-like body to entangle two of Frank’s men at the same time. The fact that the numerous arms attached to its body tore apart the bodies of its subordinates was a bonus.

“Keck!”
“Save me…”

The subordinates could not scream even though their entire bodies were covered in blood. It was probably because the monster wrapped around my body and I was suffocated.

Only then did Frank realize why he couldn’t hear anything.

“Fuck, fuck!”

I have a plasma rifle, but I don’t think I can beat it. Frank’s choice was not to save his subordinates, but to run away.

“Eat this!”
“Kyaaah…Kahahah?!”

He pushed hard on the cyborg slave he was holding. The slave who fell forward was stabbed by the sharp thorns on the monster’s tail.

“…?”

A monster tilting its head as it looks at a female slave who was stabbed by its own tail. While the enemy was paying attention to the slaves, Frank hurried to the other side.

“I can’t die! How did you survive! “I will never die!”

Thanks to his mad sprint, he quickly arrived at the hangar where the aircraft was located. The monster didn’t chase after him, perhaps because it was busy eating the slave he abandoned.

He set the hangar door so that it could be opened from the aircraft and quickly boarded the small fighter jet.

“I’m not dying. “I won’t die.”
He survived the collapse of the Marcio Cartel. There was no way he was that lucky and would die in a place like this.

Believing so, Frank opened the hangar door.

When the door opened, the scenery outside was visible.

A ship is floating in outer space where there is almost no light. This is a pirate ship under his command.

And behind it, there was a ship I had never seen before. The ship was close to the pirate ship.

“huh?”

When I looked again, they weren’t close together.

To be precise, an unfamiliar ship was swallowing up a pirate ship.

This is not a concept where a large destroyer or large battleship loads a small corvette on board.

Literally, the unknown ship was chewing the entire pirate ship with its large teeth and jaws. The scattered metal fragments were taken care of by a silver cloud hovering around them.

Frank saw that and let go of the control stick.

–

The owners of the ships that were attacked by the Metallic Gremlins were people I did not expect.

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (He’s the deputy leader of the Shinomitsu Cartel?)]
“Yes.”

Isabel answered my question in the affirmative.

I heard that there are a lot of pirates roaming around here.

A pirate might know about the Shino Alliance, so I asked Isabel. While I’m swallowing the ship, I want you to infiltrate another ship and read their information.

In fact, I didn’t have high expectations because there was no space dog mark on the surface of the ship, and it wasn’t as messily remodeled as a typical pirate ship. I thought it would be a small fleet made up of ordinary merchant ships.

‘That’s right, but he’s a pirate belonging to the Shino Alliance.’

I almost ate it all without realizing it.

I looked down at the vice president, feeling fortunate that I had sent Isabel away first. He was staring at the wall in fascination.

[Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (But why is it like that?)]
“I didn’t do anything to the deputy leader. “It was like that even when I tried to catch it.”

So far, people who have encountered my true body have had one of two reactions. Either they’re scared and trembling, or they’re gritting their teeth because they want to kill me. A pirate named Frank was none of these.

｢I think I know why it’s like that.｣
｢Geuuuu｣

Mother Sky, who was feeding the ship’s alloy fragments to a tamed mountain crawler, joined the conversation.

“I was really scared when I saw the smell of blood coming from his body…”
“Pirates were using slaves on the ship. “That bastard even threw a slave as bait just to survive.”
“…You could have tormented me more instead of just scaring me. Or just kill him.”
“Guh?”

Both of them had memories of being slaves or almost becoming slaves, so there was no mercy when fighting Space Dog.

‘Well, even if you’re not sane, it’ll be okay because we’ll infect you with parasites.’

The good thing about parasites is that it doesn’t matter what the other person’s mental state is.

The parasites that came out of my body easily found a new body without much resistance.

‘Then let me ask you a few questions.’
“I heard that the Shino Alliance is a group of six cartels. Do you know where each one operates?”
“I don’t know exactly, but I know roughly.”

When I asked, imitating a human voice, Frank bowed his head meekly.

Is it because the name has a 3 in it? Frank knew more than any Shinoroku cartel leader he had met before.

“Then do you know who the leader of the alliance is?”
“I don’t know that. “I just know where it is.”
“You don’t know who it is, but you know where it is?”
“The union holds regular meetings. At that time, the leader of the alliance also participates in the meeting.”

That’s also quite interesting information.

‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to turn the Megacorp colony first and then target it.’

It is very likely that the current leader of the Shino Alliance is either a player or someone related to him. The faction is probably the ruling faction. Of course, he could be an outsider like me, but that’s probably not the case.

‘If that were the case, we wouldn’t have formed the alliance in the first place.’

Although not as much as Aimorph, Space Dog is hated by the sapient race. In such a situation, creating an alliance is perfect for getting attention from others.

Since the opponent is under the protection of the ruling faction, they are probably acting as a blatant coalition.

‘Good. ‘Because there is something to be calculated with the ruling faction.’

While Isabel has a bad relationship with the returning faction, the ruling faction has an enmity with the Mother of Heaven, PS-111. At some point, you will have to fight against Megacorp and Star Union rankers who belong to the ruling faction. Before that, it would be of great help to obtain information about the ruling faction through a pirate player.

I had PS-111 record information about the Shino Alliance players. After that, he was sent back to the broken down pirate ship. This is so that it will not be discovered that I was in contact with pirates like I did with the Shinoroku Cartel.

‘I stopped by to fill my stomach, but surprisingly I got a lot out of it.’

This is because we not only gained information about the Metallic Gremlin army and pirate players, but also gained new type characteristics.

‘Strictly speaking, it’s a trait I acquired before.’

Thanks to randomly eating a group of metallic gremlins, I was able to regain the ‘warp creature’ trait I had previously acquired. It’s a trait that can be obtained from ‘Warp Boy’ with a low probability, so I guess I was lucky.

It feels like the bad mood caused by the side effects of the ‘hunger’ trait has completely eased.

I still felt nervous as if someone was following me, but it wasn’t enough to bother me too much.

‘Then let’s fill our bellies a little more and leave.’

Even if it were me, the mountain crawler would be hungry.

After feeding the Mountain Crawler some rocks floating in space, I prepared to go faster than light again.

｢■■■｣

Taitabos and the group following No. 26 also followed me and started traveling at faster than light speed.

‘Sail at faster than light speed with Metallic Gremlin while being an Amorph.’

Every time I saw it in the game, I thought it was a rare genetic essence and liked it, but I never thought we would fly together like this. I don’t know what’s going on in the world.

Warp creatures have a trait that reduces the time required to enter super-light travel by half.

I left the star system much faster than before I came here.

–

The queen suddenly appeared in an empty space.

The queen, who was changing the color of her outer shell to resemble black space, confirmed the residual energy left behind by the ‘predator’.

｢The ‘predator’ meets the ‘beasts’ and takes unexpected action.’
｢The traces of the ‘beasts’ make it difficult to track them.’
｢There is no hindrance to the plans of the Empress and the ‘Great Enemy’. The ‘second trap’ is still effective.”
“Contacted with the ‘first bait.’ The ‘first trap’ is also effective.”
“Report to the Empress.”
“Stop the chase and return.”

With those words, the queen slowly melted into the darkness of space.
