Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties

Chapter 98: Meeting: Visero

Unlike the previous morning, the Commander seemed to be one of the most rested of the bunch.

Once Roka entered the command room, she gave a few words, before inviting Raya to stand in front of the crewmates.

Her job for the previous day had been to look through the Database and find as much information on Serolia, the Planet they were heading towards, as well as Visero, and the Tsero Crystal they were aiming for.

This mostly meant going back and taking a look at the information she had gathered on their first trip towards Serolia, a much longer and more strenuous journey than their present one. Doing so had brought memories of her lost comrades and of that first journey, which no doubt was part of the reason that led to the typhoon of emotions that rose within her after Al had left her room later that night.

“Hu-Hum! A-Alright!” Raya stuttered as she placed herself in front of the group, explaining and telling information that they were pretty much already aware of.

Still, the goal was to inform those who didn’t know. Namely, the Paru.

He listened intently with his arms crossed.

‘She’s talking a whole lot about the atmosphere and all, but what it basically means is that…’

To put it simply and cut it short, Serolia’s atmosphere was very thick.

This could cause multiple issues when landing, such as reduced visibility, a great and sudden increase in pressure on the spaceship, risk of great turbulence, as well as increased atmospheric drag.

The Paru didn’t really care about those, as they were issues for Rea, the Navigator to deal with.

“Guess I’ll take a nap for a bit. We still have a couple of hours before that. You can deal with it, right?”

“Yes.” Roka nodded. “It seems that my idea of learning a bit more about how to operate the ship wasn’t a bad one.”

“Mm. You should be more than able to handle it while I take a nap!”

What interested the Paru, however, was the fact that the thick atmosphere was full of gazes with high electrical conductivity.

This was another problem for Rea to deal with, but as Raya said,

‘That means lightning strikes on that Planet… Judging from how she said it and how the others reacted, it must strike very often too… Lightning bolts descending randomly, that would be game over in an instant.’

The Planet of Serolia was covered by many, many types of Crystals, most of which had special properties.

Raya explained that most believed that this was partly due to the Planet’s very high temperatures in its lower layers, the Planet’s size which caused increased pressure on its interior, as well as its unique atmospheric make-up.

Some believed that the Planet was growing smaller and smaller in size, though very slowly, through its top layers being shaved off by the lightning strikes. This, over time, has caused Serolia’s countless Crystals to rise to the surface. Raya had only glossed over this part, as it was only added into the information about Serolia within the Database as a ‘Comment’.

‘Now comes the interesting part.’ The Paru listened, his eyes sparkling.

The living beings on Serolia were incredibly interesting to him right away.

Because all of them are referred to as ‘Visero’.

With bodies partly or completely covered by crystals that held special and different properties, one property was shared by most of those crystals and living beings.

‘The ability to take a lightning strike like nothing… As if a breeze was hitting them… How the fuck are we supposed to win against something that even lightning bolts can’t damage??’

Through Raya’s explanation, the Paru got a better idea of what Visero were.

‘It’s not exactly a Species… Visero is more like the categories of Primates or Apes. Within the Visero, there are numerous Species…’

Moments later, holograms appeared. The Paru’s favorite part of the meeting.

Four types of Visero were shown.

‘Now that I’m taller, looking at their size is more interesting. Before, everything looked big in comparison to me after all…’

One of the Species shown resembled an Armadillo with an armor-like shell covered in various crystals.

‘Cool… It’s even rolling around.’ The Paru chuckled internally as the hologram turned into a ball and rolled around for a moment, causing the crewmates to chuckle.

“So cute…!” Kris muttered before covering his mouth with a hand.

The Visero were true monsters, and just because one Species looked cute didn’t mean that they should be underestimated or looked at as anything other than a threat.

The Armadillo-like Visero hopped up before uncurling its body, revealing very sharp claws.

Despite its size, it shouldn’t be neglected.

The second Species of Visero shown resembled an upside-down lizard.

A lizard with a size similar to that of a wolf. Upside-down because of how strange its articulations and limbs seemed to stand.

As Raya explained, this Species’ internal organs hung on the upper side of its body where the back and spine would normally be.

Something that all Species of Visero had in common was that the portions of their bodies that were pointed at the sky above were always covered in Crystals.

On their stomach, which seemed to be their back, was an orifice through which this Species of Visero could intake the smaller Crystals that covered its body, and spit them out of its mouth with bullet-like precision and speed.

The Armadillo-like Species of Visero was called Cryllo. The second Species was called Cryat.

‘The sizes are manageable for now. Their abilities too.’

The Paru’s gaze moved on towards the third Species as its name was called out.

Cryna Hurna.

He couldn’t figure out why the Species’ name was made up of two words, but that wasn’t uncommon, so he wasn’t too worried about it.

Cryna Hurna was the Species that proliferated the most on Serolia. With hyena-like bodies and tiger-like size, they didn’t seem threatening when compared to Graniliths or Wizzos, let alone the Alphas from those Species.

That was until Raya explained that they could come up with complex and synergetic tactics and strategies to fight off their enemies or deal with their prey.

Synergetic, because not only did Cryna Hurna fight and move in groups that could hold up to a dozen members, but they could also use other Species to do their bidding.

‘So… Exactly what I did with that Granilith to fight the Wizzos’ Alpha?’

Liz scratched her arm as she turned to look at the fourth Species shown.

There had only been one of them, alerted and brought to them by the Cryna Hurna.

‘Holy shit…’

Its size was similar to that of a Wizzo’s Alpha.

‘Godzilla??’
