I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Ep. 263

–

“What is that?”

A loud roar and smoke billowing from afar.

Ino, who had only been an executive for less than a day, was surprised to see the scene.

“What happened to that just now?”

“I can’t contact them over there!”

“what? Try again!”

“yep!”

The operation to incinerate the pollutants was led by Deputy Chief Kadun, the most powerful member of the Marcio Cartel. So he wasn’t too worried. I expected that any damage would end in the deaths of some of my subordinates.

But even before the battle, the signs were unusual.

Before entering, it was heavily seasoned with toxic gas to easily remove the source of contamination. Although the gas was removed from the area upon entering, toxic elements are still in the air. So much so that all pirates, including Ino, had to wear gas masks.

But even that didn’t seem to be of much help in weakening him.

“What happened to the dock leader?”

The pirate shook his head at Ino’s question.

‘…there was only one explosion. The kids who went with Kadoon will be fine.’

Even though I couldn’t contact him, it was hard to believe that something had happened to the vice president. No matter how strong the monster is, it is impossible to kill Kadun without making any noise. They’re probably moving in the direction where the explosion occurred.

If you go in the direction where the pollution source is, you will be able to merge naturally.

“Let’s move over there first. “They’re going into battle, so we need to support them.”

“…Shit. “I didn’t know it would be like this.”

The pirates grumbled but followed Ino’s words. It’s not because he has outstanding charisma. This was because he was afraid of the vice-minister Kadun behind him.

Ino and the pirates moved toward the direction from which the smoke was rising.

They all had experience sneaking into ships to plunder, so they were adept at moving secretly. They each loaded their weapons and paid attention to their steps. Everyone was wearing a gas mask, so I couldn’t see their faces, but they all seemed nervous.

The pirates ran between the abandoned buildings with careful movements.

Cult symbols in the process of decay, neglected churches are watching them. Ino felt somehow intimidated by the girlish atmosphere.

I’ve flown over this area a few times on patrol, but this was the first time I felt anything like this. What was just a cool metal structure built on steel was now squeezing him like a living creature.

Ino wasn’t the only one feeling this unknown pressure. The breathing sounds of the subordinates wearing gas masks are gradually becoming heavier.

“300m remaining distance to goal.”

At that time, the voice of the pirate in the lead awakened Ino’s spirit.

Just as they were about to turn the corner of the building, the lead pirate quickly raised his hand. Seeing that, other gang members tensed up.

“Is it a goal?”

“…an unknown creature is at the intersection.”

An unknown creature? He stuck his head out slightly toward the street outside the corner.

“!”

When he saw it at the intersection, he felt his heart stop.

‘What on earth is that?’

Would we dare call that a living thing?

The being he saw had eight legs and a tail. Its long legs were covered in a thick carapace, with black claws and ghastly white scythes. The body size was considerable, ranging from 6m to 7m, excluding the tail.

That alone was ugly enough, but what really shocked him was his head. It was hard to see because of the long, thick cable hair hanging down, but it was clearly a human head.

To put it as gently as possible, it was a scorpion with the head of a woman.

‘Huh Hulk Mutant?’

Ino was a researcher at Megacorp before joining the Marcio Cartel. So, he was more knowledgeable about the Hulk mutant than others.

But even he and Ino had never seen such a hideous-looking Hulk mutant.

At that time, the guy lifted his head from his lowered position. Ino took a deep breath when she saw the guy’s face.

As expected, its face was female. A beautiful woman with skin as white as snow and without any blemishes.

But Ino could guarantee it. No one would like a woman with blood-stained eyes.

Its red eyes slowly shake along its head. At the same time, the thin cable hanging under the chin also flutters.

Ino, who almost made eye contact with the guy for a moment, quickly put her head back. Cold sweat poured down the back of his neck.

“Fuck, everyone ready for battle…”

Before he could finish his words, a dark blue photon bomb flew into the building where they were hiding. No matter how unmaintained the buildings here are, they are made of special alloy and boast considerable durability. Nevertheless, the church hit by the blue energy bullet collapsed like a sand castle swept away by waves.

“What the fuck?! “Demolisher!”

Someone from the organization shouted.

Kesha Arma is a space fortress of a cult. Everyone has seen the Demolisher stored in the 1st Command Armory. I know not only its shape but also its power.

“Everyone scatter!”

“shit! “Why is Demolisher here?”

They cursed and dispersed.

A photon bomb flew again through the dust rising from the ruins. One of the gang members who was retreating was unable to dodge and was hit. He couldn’t even scream and just turned into dust.

“Shit!”

“Bow your heads, you bastards!”

Ino and two gang members urgently fired back. Meanwhile, his subordinates lowered themselves and ran into a nearby building for cover.

“Coil gun! “I’ll take my time, so I’ll pierce that monster’s head with the coil gun!”

“yep!”

The pirate next to him put down his Gauss rifle and pulled out a long coil gun strapped to his back. Meanwhile, Ino and the other pirates fired their psychic rifles at the dust behind the remaining wall.

At that moment, a pitch black claw emerged from the dust. The claws narrowly grazed the top of Ino’s head. I lowered my head for a moment to check the remaining psychic energy, but thanks to that, I missed the mark.

“Huh?!”

Next, a red-eyed woman with pale skin revealed her face. Red eyes without any emotion were watching him, as if there were camera lenses attached to the eyes.

At that moment, the guy’s neck suddenly turned. The pirate next to him had fired a coil gun from close range.

But no one cheered. Even though it was hit directly on the head, its legs were still moving.

“Get back!”

I don’t know when he will come to his senses again. The three turned their backs and ran straight away.

“Where are the other cubs?”

“He was definitely hiding in the building…”

The gang member who was running with him stopped mid-sentence. His eyes were fixed on the building.

“it’s crazy? Why did you stop…”

Ino’s subordinate’s strange behavior also focused her gaze on the rooftop of the building where her subordinate was looking. And he could understand why his subordinate was distraught.

There were men on top of the building.

No, to be precise, it was floating in the sky above the building.

Dozens of subordinates were all hanging in the air in bizarre positions. Something invisible is entangling them like flies caught in a spider’s web.

And behind the men, a yellow cloud was floating. It looked very similar to the poisonous gas they sprayed before entering the area.

‘What is that…?’

The bizarre phenomenon that caused Ino to freeze did not end there.

“It” appeared from the yellow cloud.

giant? no.

“It” is numerous eyes. Hundreds, if not thousands, of eyes are all watching Ino.

“It” is numerous snakes. Hundreds of gigantic tentacles wriggle like burning flames.

The eyes of an indescribable being watch the subordinates floating in the air. The gang members struggled to resist, but in front of that being, they were just pathetic squirms.

Long, huge tentacles get closer to the subordinates. And then they started taking off the gas masks one by one.

“Ke keek! “Keueeeeek….”

There is still toxic gas around here. What’s more, the gas has condensed thickly around this unholy being. The members of the organization whose masks were removed began to tremble, with blood foaming at their mouths.

“Fuck you!”

The subordinate next to him raised his coil gun and shot at the guy. It’s a coil gun that even a scorpion with a woman’s head can’t avoid. The bullet fired at incredible speed pierced its tentacles.

No, it almost pierced through.

The bullet stopped in the air almost before it reached. Just like other gang members floating above the building. A small bullet, crushed by an invisible force, fell to the bottom of the building.

“Nonsense!”

The subordinate who fired the coil gun was frightened by a sight that was incomprehensible to common sense. Then, all eyes of “it” were focused on him.

｢ ■■■ ■■■ ■■!｣

“Huh?”

｢■■!｣

Ino did not understand what happened right after that.

A strange feeling of wind swept past him. When I looked to the side, the subordinate holding the coil gun had disappeared before I knew it. Instead, only a red lump remained in its place.

The members of the gang who were captured by “it” were slowly showing what had become of him.

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”

“Save me…!”

“Aaaahhh!”

“Eugh!”

The subordinates’ entire bodies were twisted uncontrollably, like dolls hanging by invisible threads.

Some people began to turn counterclockwise from the tips of their fingers, while others had their limbs stretched by something as if they were snapping a rubber band.

Predation Rape Murder. The outlaws of the universe who committed all kinds of crimes were not there. There are only tiny beings that are overwhelmed by beings that cannot be understood.

“Hee hee hee!”

Ino, who saw the gang members dying horribly, took a step back.

You have to run away. He doesn’t want to die here.

The only remaining subordinate seemed to think the same thing and started running along with him.

It was a mistake to take this job. When Kadun gave him a mission, he should have just ignored it and left the fortress.

‘no. You can run away. There’s still a chance.’

he thought. There is a chance to make up for your mistakes. As soon as we arrive at the patrol ship, we will immediately leave this fortress without returning to headquarters.

And I will run away to a planet somewhere in the universe. All you have to do is forget everything you have done and live quietly.

“Kaaak!”

Just as he was thinking that, his subordinate fell. There was a long white sickle-like object stuck on the subordinate’s back.

As soon as she realized that, something hit Ino’s leg. It was the same claw that had tried to slit his throat.

The owner of the claw grabbed his fallen leg and lifted it up. The claws were tearing at his legs, but he felt no pain. This was because the fear that took over his entire body was greater.

A white face approaches him as he hangs upside down.

“Don’t do this! do not be like this!”

Did you understand what he said? Red eyes resembling camera lenses scanned his face once and then placed him on the floor. Instead of Ino, he caught a gang member with a hole in his back.

“Uh, uh, why am I…Kwaaaaaaaa!”

Ino’s men did not survive. Now all that’s left is him.

Of course, that didn’t give me peace of mind. That monster probably didn’t keep him alive because he thought he was pretty.

‘The reason’ slowly came to him.

“I believe this person’s brain contains useful information.”

｢■■ ■■■■ ?｣

“The human brain is a delicate organ. “If you don’t open it carefully, you will die, so be careful.”

｢ !｣

Until now, it was as big as a building, but now “it” has shrunk to less than 1 meter. Long tentacles protrude from the pink, round body and get closer to him.

“Ha ha ha ha ha. Hahahahaha….”

A subordinate who died with his head crushed. A member of the organization who died with his whole body twisted. A subordinate who was poisoned by gas and suffocated. which.

Who has a better death?

Whatever it was, it didn’t really matter to Ino.

Because he has no choice.

–

“Boss! “We must retreat!”

“Where the fuck are you attacking from…Aaaah!”

“crazy! “How can you match someone who’s faster than a bullet?”

“Boss!”

Before being picked up by Montana Marcio, Kadun lived in the arena.

Sometimes he killed his own kind, and sometimes he killed beasts that were overwhelmingly stronger than him. I went through a crisis that bordered on death every time, and more than once I actually died and came back to life.

But now his senses are warning him.

This place will be his grave.

“….”

The subordinates’ voices gradually become distant. The high-speed aircraft that the corvette encountered as soon as it landed was attracting them.

He should help his subordinates fight the high-speed aircraft right away, but there is a reason why he cannot move.

There was a Wolf standing tens of meters away from him.

The head of a white bird of prey with two horns. A female Wolff with beautiful amber eyes and a brilliant golden mane.

A being armed with a shining golden spear and a black dagger is blocking his movements.

‘…strong.’

Thanks to his experience fighting numerous strong opponents, Kadun was able to predict his opponent’s strength to some extent. But I couldn’t guess that female Wolff at all.

It’s one of two things. Either he is ridiculously weaker than Kadun, or on the contrary, he is overwhelmingly stronger.

He’s only felt this way once recently. There was only a female cult that Montana held dear.

“gulp.”

He swallowed without realizing it and activated the function of the advanced reinforced suit he was wearing. At the same time, all built-in reinforcers were administered.

He knows the side effects of strengthening drugs, but now is not the time to worry about them.

“Krrrrrrr.”

Kadun, whose physical abilities had increased dramatically, growled. The opponent also took a fighting stance, swinging his golden javelin once.

I don’t know how strong the unidentified female Wolf was. Still, he believed in his victory.

“Khuuuuuuu!”

Wolf, a white-furred tiger, roared loudly and kicked the ground.

As his tribal chief once said, ‘A journey to regain the status of a god.’

The fight that Kadun dismissed as superstition began in the space fortress.
