I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Episode 295 – Rest (2)

‘Hmm.’

This time, I focused on helping Aadhai hunt. So I didn’t even use the symbol of hunting. I never thought I would get the trait, but the results were unexpected.

‘Furthermore…’

｢Successful acquisition of the ‘Tyrantroid’ genetic essence.｣

｢Taken away ‘Tyrantroid’ among the biological characteristics of ‘Giganterium’.｣

｢Would you like to apply ‘Tyrantroid’?｣

Among the numerous characteristics I never thought I would get this.

The name of the trait obtained by preying on Apex creatures is ‘Tyrantroid’.

At first glance, it may seem like a physical trait or internal organ-related trait, but this trait is an environmental adaptation trait.

By default, Gigantherium’s body contains organs that help it acquire and utilize energy effectively even in limited situations. Tyrantroids are special chemicals secreted by this organ. Thanks to this substance, it can survive in any environment without major limitations.

What is important here is that this substance is related to its fighting ability. It’s all thanks to Tyrantroid that it grows bigger every time it gets angry.

‘Now, the characteristics I will use are also the same.’

Tyrantroid is a type of trait that significantly changes the body, similar to ‘Bone Beast’ or ‘Hunting Symbol’. However, it is similar to the ‘Revenant Agency’ in that it only activates conditionally.

‘It’s easier to activate than the Revenant Agency.’

There is only one condition for activating Tyrantroid. It is activated automatically when a major injury is received to the body. With this trait, as the injury becomes more severe, strength and energy output increase significantly and the body becomes massive.

However, in return, the movement becomes as slow as a slug. The larger the body, the larger the area it can be hit by, but the slower the speed, which can be said to be a fatal flaw.

‘Of course, this is only when limited to this one characteristic.’

It is very powerful when combined with the Bone Beast, whose carapace becomes hard as it grows larger, and the Revenant Engine, which is conditionally activated only when very seriously injured. Should I call it an Aimov-style bamboo spear?

The unfortunate thing is that this combo assumes injury. If you are unable to suppress the enemy during the time the characteristics are activated, you will be at a great disadvantage. At the very least, there must be a means of allowing the body to recover quickly from injury or remove the lowered speed penalty.

‘I currently have two means of recovery.’

It is ‘regenerative power’ and ‘the hand of a predatory leech’. The predatory leech’s hand requires you to grab the enemy yourself, and the regenerative power has a limited recovery speed. Playback isn’t bad, but it’s not perfect.

This is not a game, this is reality. If you die, it’s over. This combo is sealed until the shortcomings can be sufficiently compensated.

‘Well, it’s still better than nothing.’

I feel good because I received a gift I didn’t expect at all.

｢Why｣｢Not moving?｣

｢Big adult｣｢Head｣｢When I eat｣｢Sometimes｣｢That way｣

｢Taste｣｢Impression?｣

｢Maybe｣

‘Ah.’

Feeling the waves of thought coming from all over, I turned off the semi-transparent text box.

In the darkness, purple eyes resembling amethyst were shining and looking at me. It seemed like he was waiting for me to finish eating the head.

[Zuzzuzuzu (I ate it all)]

After hearing what I said, Adhai cut off both arms of Giganterium with the tips of his wings using Red Armor.

Giganterium’s body looks like a mix between a gorilla and a bear, so its arms are quite developed. As a result, the severed arm alone was quite large. Because the arm length alone reached 10m.

Aadhai placed a large piece of food on the floor and sprayed thought waves at his compatriots.

“Big adult,” “Reward,” “The end,” “We too,” “Let’s eat.” As soon as the

thought wave spread, the Gallagons began to rush into the arms.

First, the white gallagons cut off the fur and skin with their sharp claws and inserted the tentacles around the mouth inside. Adhaj peeled off the skin so that other gallagons could eat it easily and then participated in the feast.

The Green Gallagons, which were relatively weak, stuck their tentacles into the wounds made by Aadhai and the Gallagons and sucked the blood.

The gallagons had different green and white scales, but their tentacle colors were the same. Each time the purple biological straws embedded in the arm wriggled, the size of the arm decreased in real time.

There are a total of 10 gallagons that Aadhai brought here. There are three White Gallagons and seven Green Gallagons. As the 11 Gallagons, including Adhai, sucked blood furiously, Giganterium’s two arms quickly became mummified.

｢Taste｣｢Excellent｣

｢Delicious｣

｢Not enough｣｢Food｣｢More｣｢Need｣

After finishing the short meal, the Gallagons raised their heads. The Green Gallagons, who were still young, looked towards Giganterium’s body as if they were lusting after it.

Seeing that, Aadhai kicked the ground hard with his back foot. The gallagons flinched as the sharp sound of the impact rang out.

｢Food｣｢Nest｣｢I will take it｣｢Eating｣｢Now｣｢End｣ ｢

Great Adhai｣｢Mal｣｢Following｣

At the queen’s cool threat, the Green Gallagons hastily bowed their heads. Adhai, who warned his greedy compatriots, cut off Giganterium’s healthy left leg.

｢Sha Belmag｣｢This｣｢Companion｣｢Nel Germa｣｢Give me｣

｢Great Aadhai｣｢Consideration｣｢Thank you｣

The skinny white gallagon Shah Belmag bent his front legs and expressed his gratitude to Aadhai. . While Adhaj stood proudly with his head raised, Shah Belmaag took the gifts bestowed by the queen.

‘So, did you say that Nell Germa was incubating an egg?’

Nell Germa, the White Gallagon who helped us the most in the past at the Dragon’s Nest.

It laid an egg just before we arrived and is now incubating the egg in the nest.

Originally, Adhaj planned to bring Nel Germa, with whom he fought and worked well, on the hunt instead of Shah Belmag. However, because the situation was like this, Shah Belmarg participated in the hunt on behalf of his wife.

‘It’s Gallagon’s breeding.’

I’m not a Gallagon fan, but it’s a pretty interesting topic. Even in the game, it was not revealed how Gallagons reproduce.

‘If I think about it now, it may have not been implemented.’

Like most VR games, Space Survival also contains a significant amount of sexual content. Physical interactions between players, sexual services provided by NPCs, etc.

In Space Survival, as a game that paid a lot of attention to the implementation and setting of the ecosystem of NPCs, the reproductive activities of wild animals were implemented.

‘Not everything, though.’

In the case of creatures in which the male and female have a good relationship or have strong maternal love and nurturing is an important factor, reproductive activities are depicted. For example, the crystal wing that I hunted in the dragon’s nest was one of the species that embodied reproductive activities.

However, this detail became a hot topic in the public in a negative way and ultimately influenced the deliberation.

‘It didn’t pass the review because of its sensationalism.’

Since it wasn’t officially released in Korea, I had no choice but to get the foreign version and enjoy it. This is while relying on the translation function provided by the VR device itself.

In any case, Gallagon was a creature that could be described as breeding, so many people had high expectations. There was also a ranker who infiltrated Gallagon’s nest to check for himself, but ultimately failed to find out.

｢Big adult?｣

[Zu (Huh?)]

｢Nest｣｢Let’s go back｣

I was lost in old thoughts for a moment, but Adhai’s thought wave woke me up. The other Gallagons were preparing to return with their wings spread.

‘I should go back first.’

I picked up a Giganterium corpse that was missing everything from head to limbs. I held the corpse tightly to my body with my tentacles and spread my wing arms. I flapped my wings as big as my body and flew upward with the gallagons.

The underground caves and passages where Giganterium took refuge were relatively narrow places in this underworld. It wasn’t wide enough to feel narrow if me and the 11 gallagons flapped our wings at the same time.

However, once you leave the relatively small caves and narrow passages, a completely different world unfolds.

As I exited the underground passage following the 11 Gallagons ahead of me, my vision suddenly cleared up. There was a space so large that it would be more appropriate to call it an underground world rather than a cavity.

The ceiling, made up of a thick layer of ice, could easily be called a second sky, and a vast land spread out beneath it.

When you actually see the ice ceiling, not just a description, you get a feeling similar to the sky. The reason is because of the microorganisms on the outer part of the ice layer. These moss-like creatures emit light and heat from their bodies whenever they ingest and digest food. When viewed from a distance, it looks like a star in the night sky.

It looks like gallagons flying under the starlight densely packed in the frozen sky. It was a beautiful sight that I had never seen or seen anywhere else where I lived.

If you look down, you can see plants densely located between a few meters and tens of meters high on the underground land. Wild animals wander among plants with a unique appearance that is a mixture of mushrooms and rainbow grass.

The journey with the space dragons was not long. After passing through the forest of plants, we were greeted by a canyon with thick steam rising.

That place, where steam is spewing out due to geothermal heat, is the new palace of the Gallagons.

As we entered the canyon, there were numerous caves. As we entered the largest cave among them, the black dragon Ham Ort greeted us.

｢Ham Ort｣｢Great Aadhai｣｢Hunting｣｢Success｣｢Congratulations｣

｢Yes｣

Aadhai nodded to Ham Ort, who bowed in a polite manner.

It’s been a while since I last saw Ham Oort, and it looks quite different since the last time I saw it. All the scars on the scales disappeared and the body grew slightly larger.

‘I think I’ve gained a bit of weight because I’m living in a good environment.’

That doesn’t mean you’re fat. As anyone would guess, she was the mother of Aadhai, and her unique, alluring beauty still remained. Its obsidian-colored scales shined smoothly, and its four legs and long body were full of life thanks to its strong muscles.

The horns were not completely regenerated and were still unbalanced, but they had a wild feel that contrasted with the sleek body, giving it a unique charm.

Ham Ort, who greeted Adhaj, also slightly bowed his head to me.

｢Thank you｣

[zuzu zuzuzu zuzu (I didn’t do anything)]

｢Adhai’s companion｣｢Thanks to you｣｢Kingdom｣｢I wasn’t hurt｣ ｢Companion

｣｢No｣｢Not yet｣

｢Big baby, I had a good time. ?」

At that time, a large pink creature appeared from inside the cave. The being holding a bunch of small Blue Gallagons was number 26.

“You didn’t get hurt this time?”

[Zuzuzuzu (of course)]

“Good job!”

He brightened up as if he was happy that I came back without any injuries. Thanks to the 25m long luminous body, the dark cave became bright in an instant.

｢What is it?｣

｢Amazing｣

｢Again｣｢Again｣

The cubs that were being hugged by No. 26 and absorbing psychic power touched the cub’s body with their front paws as if they were curious.

I placed the corpse of the Giganterium on my back in front of Ham Ort.

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuzuzu (this. What Aadhai got)]

｢King of Beasts｣｢Corpse｣｢Why?｣ When

the guy tilted his head and expressed a question, Aadhai who was next to him answered on his behalf.

｢Young kin｣｢Feed｣｢Growth｣｢Nutrition｣｢Need｣

｢Great Adhai｣｢Mercy｣｢Thank you｣

When Adhai said that he brought it to feed his compatriots, Ham Ort gently waggled his tail. Anyone could see that they were parents who were proud of their daughter’s growth.

[Zuzu zuzu zuzu (Is there anything else to catch?)]

｢There is｣｢Just｣｢Kingdom｣｢Rest｣｢Need｣

[Zuzu zuzuzu (I guess so)]

Anyway, I have to stay on this planet for at least a week. There’s no need to be in a hurry.

Now that the hunt is over, it’s time to take a break.
