I Became an Evolving Space Monster

I looked at the chip from the acting governor’s head.

Its appearance was similar to an obedience device implanted in employees. As the surface was very hot, it was clear that this small device was responsible for killing the parasite and the acting governor.

‘Why does this person have something like this on his head?’

This brain-melted corpse was, until a few seconds ago, an agent of the colony’s highest authority. It is absurd to carry a bomb to your head when you are not an employee.

‘I didn’t do it voluntarily.’

Li Zhao, Prime Capital of Megacorp and Governor of LV-06. He put a bomb on his agent’s head.

In this world, there are not many beings who have the ability to take over and control the brains of intelligent beings. Among them, there is only one who enjoys the strategy of disrupting the enemy’s lines by infecting traitors.

‘You were targeting me!’

The moment I realized this, the building shook violently. The trap set by the enemy began to operate.

I hastily turned off ‘clever underdog’. My body grew rapidly and broke down the walls around me. Inside the collapsing building, I spread my wings and arms wide and flew upward.

When I was in the air and looked down, I saw several buildings collapsing at the same time. The road itself was cracking and the ground itself was collapsing.

That’s not what I did.

Star Union, which specializes in conventional weapons, has superweapon-level bombs. Its power is so great that it can destroy the entire planet.

The official name is ‘PMB (Particle Manipulation Bomb)’. This bomb is often referred to by the nickname ‘Alpha Boy’ rather than its official name.

This bomb boasts the most powerful power among all implantable bombs in the game.

I’ve experienced this many times in the game when fighting Star Union. So we know very well what happens when the bomb is activated.

The city that is sinking into the ground is the result of PMB.

‘I made it work when the chip inside the Acting Governor’s head is activated.’

A bomb was planted on the heads of Megacorp’s upper class, and a super weapon from the hostile Star Union was hidden in the colony.

‘And they turned the entire planet into a trap just to catch me.’

These are all things that only a player can do.

Li Zhao and the players knew I would come here and set a trap.

‘…If it’s PMB, you need to avoid it quickly.’

The surface damaged by the energy emitted by the bomb is already in the process of being destroyed.

The sky above is still better, but it’s not normal. Because the planet’s atmosphere is distorted by energy, colorful auroras appear everywhere.

If I go any further than this, I will be finished, so I must quickly escape the bomb’s influence.

As I flew above the rainbow-colored sky covered in all kinds of colors, I saw a large pink jellyfish floating in the distance.

It was number 26 that went into battle mode. It hugged the other kids with its fins and tried to protect them.

Above that, Aadhai, wearing ‘red armor’, was seen spinning round and round. Perhaps thanks to his almost all-purpose defensive ability, the guy looked fine.

However, it is not possible to completely protect the entire body, so if it takes longer than this, it will be in danger. I moved the monster’s tentacles and sent out an intangible wave.

[■zu zu■zu(■are you okay?)]
｢■uh■!｣
[■zu zu■zu■ zu(■two these■u■)]

Did the energy created by the bomb interfere? Strangely enough, the waves are interrupted. Aadhai’s thought waves also felt strange, as if they were noisier than usual.

Still, the smart guy immediately understood what I meant and flew over. The left side of my head opened its mouth and he went inside.

｢Big adult｣｢Little adult｣｢Quickly｣｢Help me｣

Even if you don’t worry, it’s true. Picking up Aadhai first, I approached number 26.

Due to the energy waves emitted by the bomb, its outer layer was peeling off little by little. Even though it must have been quite painful, he persevered and was protecting the other kids.

[Zu■zuzu (Go■)]
｢■■■ Hey?｣

I put the three heads close to its fin. The group of people who were protected by the fin crossed over to me safely. The last remaining number 26 also quickly shrank its body and jumped into my mouth.

｢Little Adult｣｢Are you okay?｣
｢It hurts….｣
“Why is Star Union’s PMB here?”
｢Amorph! Even you, the alpha boy, are dangerous! “If we don’t get away quickly…”

No. 26, Adhai, Mother of Heaven, PS-111, Isabel. Everyone is safe. To escape from this, we prepared a faster-than-light voyage.

The energy produced within the body is emitted and turns into a blue halo. Just as the whole body was about to turn blue as usual, the light suddenly went out as if blinking.

‘huh?’

I once again attempted the aborted faster-than-light voyage. However, just like before, the light enveloped the body and then cut off. It’s as if something is interfering with it.

‘Why are you doing this?’

At that time, PS-111, inside the right side of my head, spoke to me.

“‘Aimov’. A special energy field is currently being detected, believed to originate outside the planet. That energy field is blocking faster-than-light travel.”
[Z(What?)]

After listening to him, I focused on the auxiliary organs. Perhaps because I was in the area affected by the energy emitted by PMB, I could not feel the energy field he mentioned.

‘An energy field that interferes with faster-than-light navigation….’

As far as I know, there is only one entity that can prevent faster-than-light travel: Vortex One, which specializes in large-scale warp capabilities. It can artificially block the faster-than-light movement of other beings.

‘He’s here?’

This is not its habitat. Unless Coldblood summons him, it is impossible for him to appear here.

‘…no. Let’s leave that aside for now.’

Getting out of LV-06 is more important now. Since faster-than-light navigation is impossible, you must fly out of the way yourself.

I swung my wing arm hard and hit the air. The air is pushed out and my body stretches forward.

Due to the ‘Destroyer Carapace’ effect, my outer shell, which is a mixture of black and red, becomes red. This is not simply due to the heat of the atmosphere. This is because the energy generated when PMB operates is burning my body.

｢Pain reduction activated!｣
‘Ugh!’

A text box warns you to get out of here immediately.

The skin of the wings is torn, and the carapace that protects the body surface gradually turns into dust. The pain feels as if my whole body has been put into a shredder.

Bad memories come to mind, perhaps because of the pain of my body melting away. The accident that day changed my life and the lives of my family.

‘no. ‘I can bear this much.’

Unlike the past, I now have a strong body and characteristics. I didn’t stop and kept going upwards.

Did Amov’s body also understand my will? The skin, which seemed as if it would be torn apart at any moment, began to slowly regenerate. The outer skin and carapace also slowly regained their original form.

The powerful healing ability ‘Superior Homeostasis’ and the ‘Pain Relief’ that relieves pain are helping my will to survive not break down.

‘little bit more…!’

As I flew around so frantically, the surroundings suddenly became dark. It has escaped the atmosphere.

We’re almost off the planet, but we shouldn’t be complacent here. PMB, which has eaten the entire planet, finally releases a huge amount of energy. If I get caught up in it, I will definitely die.

‘We need to quickly widen the distance.’

As I was flying with even more power than when I left the planet, I saw a small dot in the distance. I thought it was a meteorite fragment floating in space, but it wasn’t.

‘enemy!’

More than hundreds of torpedoes are flying towards me. It’s hard to tell exactly what grade the torpedo is because it’s small, but it probably has considerable power.

‘We can’t waste time responding here.’

It is difficult for me to shoot them down one by one because I have to focus on things that are outside the scope of the PMB.

Of course, it’s different if it’s the guys riding in my body.

[Zuuuu (adhai)]

When he opened his mouth with the left side of his head, Adhai took out the attack card he had prepared inside.

The guy with red radiance all over his body raised his head towards the direction from which the torpedo was flying. A mythical power that only Red Gallagon, the greatest of the dragons of the universe, can wield. A ‘Star Flame’ made by condensing starlight erupted from the end of its tentacles.

A purple sphere flying at high speed collides with a torpedo. The explosion occurred as if the sun had appeared in its place. The torpedoes that were flying disappeared in an instant.

[Zuzuzu (good job)]
｢Star power｣｢Use｣｢I’m hungry｣
[Zuzuzu zuzuzuzu zuzu (I’ll give you something delicious later)]

Perhaps because he had expended a lot of strength, he leaned against my teeth.

Having blocked the torpedo thanks to Adhai, I continued my flight to get away from LV-06.

And after a while, my auxiliary organ trembled violently. A shock beyond the pain I felt when leaving the planet hit my body.

｢Big■■!｣
｢■■■■! “Jeong■■ryeo!”

A storm of energy greater than the star flame Aadhai shot hit me. My body went out of control and collided with a small meteorite floating in space.

“■This■■’s wealth■ is ■joint■. “I’m doing something.”
“Eon■! If it’s not me!”

I can feel the kids inside my mouth saying something. I don’t know if it’s because I was caught in the explosion or because of the pain, but it’s okay.

I raised my head in the middle while my body was buried in the meteorite.

In the distance, I saw a huge vortex of light rushing over a space filled with darkness. What was a megacorp colony just a few minutes ago is now dust in space.

‘I survived somehow.’

We really narrowly escaped PMB’s influence. If it had been even a little later, I would have ended up in the same situation as the planet that was shattered into pieces.

Of course, he is still quite injured, but this is minor. Since there is superior homeostasis, it can be recovered as time passes.

While thinking that, I was trying to pull out the body stuck in the meteorite, when the auxiliary engine beeped.

“I encountered beings I couldn’t escape.”

Scenes filled with fog appeared and disappeared one after another.

It’s been a long time since my ‘predator sense’, a trait that warns me whenever my life is in danger, has been activated.

And beings who forcibly activated their predator senses appeared in outer space.

‘…this.’

Star Union, Megacorp, and Outspacer.

The fleets of three races that can never mix, either in the game or in this world, are surrounding me.

A word from the author (author’s review) ｢Predator sense: The ‘extra sense’ characteristic is strengthened. Based on the information you have, you can detect threats that will occur in the near future in advance.
