I Became an Evolving Space Monster

–

“Enemy raids…ugh?!”

I expected it to be a roar, but the size of ‘it’ was bigger than I expected.

Judging by the appearance of its upper body alone, it appeared to be almost the size of a small destroyer. Ventress had never seen a creature as large as this before.

Its long neck can be seen behind its pillar-like, thick legs. At the end is ‘it”s head.

A long, protruding snout, and large horns rising above it. It was similar in appearance to the carnivorous reptile ‘Horned Gigante’, but had many differences. Not only was it much larger, but it had no sensing organs such as eyes, nose, or ears.

The hand holding the pirate goes up. Its maw opens wide, revealing its vicious teeth. Even though it had no eyes, ‘it’ naturally swallowed its food.

｢Grrrrrrr｣
“Crazy! What is that!”
“Everyone attack!”

The pirates who saw this began their attack, screaming with profanity.

The first thing that flew was a flash bomb. Bright light, as if condensed from the sun, exploded and illuminated the warehouse. Ventress saw that and screamed.

“You idiots! “What kind of flashbang can you throw at a guy with no eyes!”

It is the first ammunition used when hunting wild animals, but it was not appropriate in the current situation. In fact, ‘it’ moved fine even in the blinding light.

The monster that crawled into the warehouse stretched out its long arms and grabbed a handful of pirates. Contrary to its appearance, its movements were surprisingly fast and quiet.

“Aaaah! Shibaaal!”
“If you don’t want to get kicked, shoot!”

Although the captured people struggled hard, there were not even small scratches on their bodies.

‘It’ put all the food into its mouth and chewed it. Human blood poured like a waterfall, soaking the floor. The sight was so gruesome that it made even veterans of the battle flinch.

“Everyone, come to your senses! Replace all flash bombs with trapping bombs, and the bastards at the front use containers as cover!”

Ventress continued to give instructions to her subordinates so that they would not be agitated. The frozen members of the organization hurriedly moved when they heard their superior’s voice.

Pirates armed with heavy weapons fired bombs at their target. What they were targeting was not a monster, but containers stored in a warehouse. The container tower collapsed and hit ‘it’.

｢Grrr｣

The guy growls briefly. Even though each container was crushed by a huge weight, it showed no signs of pain.

But even Ventress expected that much.

“now!”

The pirates, who had replaced it with confinement bombs, fired one after another at the ‘thing’ lying on the container.

When the fired bullet hit the target, the particles contained within spread out in all directions. The gaseous particles instantly solidified in the air and turned into a pumpkin-like shape.

Binding bullets are items created by Star Union to subdue Megacorp’s Hulk Mutants. It is effective in taking away the mobility of large enemies.

Chunks from hundreds of confinement bombs caught ‘it’. The guy fell forward with a heavy lump on his head and neck.

｢Grrr?｣
“Crazy!”
“It’s still moving?”

A single bullet is enough to incapacitate a Hulk mutant. But that monster still moved even after being hit with hundreds of times. The guy waved his arms wildly, trying to remove the lumps from his body.

“Damn it! “Aim for his arm with the launcher!”

Still, it is a clear fact that the enemy has slowed down. One of the pirates took out a plasma launcher and aimed at ‘it”s arm. While those holding the confinement bombs were taking their time, the launcher’s energy quickly filled up.

Then, suddenly, the ceiling above the head of the person holding the launcher collapsed.

“What?!”

Between the fragments, large claws measuring several meters can be seen. The claw struck down those holding the launcher.

Heavy drinking followed by strong shock. Ventress realized that she was floating in the air. The launcher that was charging exploded on impact, sending him flying. His body flew across the warehouse and landed against the wall.

“Ugh!”

I felt pain all over my body, but fortunately there were no major injuries. It was thanks to wearing good reinforced clothing. He quickly came to his senses and got up.

“Oh, it hurts! help me!”
“Kwaaaaaaaa! “It’s hot!”
“Someone help me!”

Unlike him, who only suffered bruises, the condition of his subordinates was not that good. Those who were close to the gang member holding the launcher were oxidized, and many of those who were far away were seriously injured. There were only a handful of pirates in good standing.

And the culprit of this tragedy was floating in the middle of the corpses. Even though it was caught in the explosion, the tongs were intact, only slightly scorched on the outside.

The large pillar-like part attached to the back of the pincer moves slowly. The tongs passed over the corpse and approached ‘it’. And I hit hard on the stuck lumps of bullets and broke them apart.

Only then did Ventress realize that the pincer was part of the monster. The man’s lower body, which had been hidden from view due to the wall of the warehouse, moved.

‘Do, you have to run away!’

I didn’t know if that was its appendage or its tail, but it didn’t matter.

It would be foolish to continue fighting now that most of my subordinates have suffered. We need to get out of here quickly.

Ventress hit the wall behind her hard. He knocked down the wall with his strengthened fist and quickly escaped from the warehouse.

“Boss?”
“shit! They abandoned us…Ahh!”

My subordinates called from behind, but I ignored them all. Using the gang members as shields, he bought time and ran down the messed up runway.

‘I’ve never heard of a monster like that here!’

There were two risk factors that he assumed before coming to AG-01. Separatists and T&C’s National Guard. I never thought that a monster would suddenly appear and annihilate the gang members.

‘Could it be the work of those crazy terrorists?’

This is a planet that was terraformed before he was even born. Most of the species that live there have been revealed. Among them, there are no dangerous creatures the size of a destroyer.

It was clear that someone had brought it from outside the planet. And the only people who have the motivation to do that are separatists.

Of course, it is unlikely that they captured it themselves with their crude level of force. It was probably supported by Star Union.

‘You damn bastards, how dare you stab me in the back like this?’

If you escape from here, I will definitely take revenge. With that promise, I continued to run on the quiet runway.

The screams and gunshots from behind had completely stopped. The sound of his footsteps was the only thing that broke the silence of the large space.

This means that the probability that ‘it’ will follow him has also increased. But the good news is that there is a boat out there for him to escape on.

Among the anchored ships, you can see a warship that resembles the Star Shark, which is said to be tamed and ridden by cultists. This is a ship commanded by the cartel’s vice leader, Ventress. There are crew members stationed there for management, so you can depart whenever necessary.

As he was running toward the only way out, something strange caught his eye.

A ship parked near a pirate ship. A hull similar in size to a small destroyer wriggles.

‘no way?’

I thought it was a spaceship, but I was mistaken. What was there was a living creature.

“…Holy shit!”

Ventress quickly stopped running and lowered her posture.

The beast, with a long neck, a large head on top, six arms, two legs, and a forked tail, was chewing on humans and ships.

Seeing that it had a familiar claw attached to one of its tails, it was clear that it was the ‘thing’ that had attacked the warehouse.

‘crazy! ‘When did you follow me here?’

I didn’t hear any other sounds while running all the way here. Unless it flew in, it was impossible for something that big to move without making a sound.

‘…Damn, I guess it doesn’t matter.’

Ventress approached the pirate ship, being careful not to make any noise.

Among the corpses it was eating, there were people wearing familiar clothes. They were all subordinates on the pirate ship. It seemed difficult to get out of here by boat.

But there is still a way.

‘Let’s take the transport ship.’

Inside is a small boat used to transport creatures for smuggling. It can be easily operated with just one pilot, so all you have to do is ride it and run away.

I walked slowly, step by step, and before I knew it, the pirate ship was right in front of me. The sight of ‘it’ was hidden by the ship, but the eerie sound of chewing bones and flesh continued.

He approached the rear of the ship with his body pressed against the outer wall. The door used to move supplies was wide open. After passing through the metal hatch and entering, he boarded the transport ship. And as soon as take-off preparations were completed, we departed immediately.

｢Grrrrr｣

A ship leaving the pirate ship flies over the harbor. The monster’s growling gradually decreased.

“Whoa.”

Ventress sighed deeply and leaned back in the cockpit. The tension was relieved because of the relief of getting out of hell.

At that time, the transport ship shook violently with a loud noise. The impact was strong enough to make him fall off his chair.

Sparks flew from the interior facility, and the sound of crushing metal could be heard everywhere. And the radar made a loud beep.

“W-what is it?”

A triangular mark was superimposed on the circled ship, from when it appeared. The moment I confirmed that, the boat started shaking wildly.

“Rain, damn it!”

Ventress barely sat down on the chair and grabbed the control stick. I tried to regain control somehow, but it was no use. No matter how powerful the thrusters fired, the unknown entity never let go of the ship.

As the position of the ship continued to change on the radar, the ship suddenly stopped. And the altitude began to drop rapidly.

“uh? Uh huh? for a moment?!”

Even if he was wearing a high-performance reinforced suit, a fall from this height would result in at least serious injury.

But there’s nothing he can do now. I just hope to survive and not die.

“Aaaah!”

The moment he was hit by a shock that even the reinforced suit couldn’t handle, he lost consciousness.

And then how much time passed?

A sound woke Ventress from her faint.

“We had a hard time blocking the communication network. “It would have been quite difficult if it weren’t for you.”
‘Shepard?’

It was the voice of a female subordinate who had gone to the research complex. A ringing sound, like a conversation in a cave, rang in his ears.

‘Where?’

When I opened my eyes, the whole place was dark. I tried to operate the terminal to adjust my field of vision, but my body did not move. No matter how much strength I put on my arms and legs, I couldn’t move.

When I lowered my head, I saw a strange object covering my torso. It seemed like this object was pinning him to the wall.

“You also want to look at the pirate ship’s data?”

I hear a voice again. As I watched it get bigger, it seemed like it was walking this way.

Just as I was about to ask her for help, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

At first, I wasn’t sure about the voice because it rang out, but when I listened to it again, there was something strange about it.

Currently, he is hanging on the wall. It is natural for sounds to come from the front or bottom. However, the voice of the approaching subordinate was heard far above him.

“No. I’d better check that.”

And now, that voice came from above my head.

His head slowly turned upward.

“Anyway, there are people here who can help.”

There was ‘it’ laughing, imitating a woman’s voice.
