I Became an Evolving Space Monster Chapter 100

Ep. 100

–

“Stax? “I can’t see any signal from here.”

｢Chijijik help and chijijik｣

“What? I can not hear you! In other words!”

｢Chijijijijik, this place is chijijijik, oh chijijik｣

“Holy shit!”

When the communication ended, Milo cursed harshly.

“hey! “Can’t this restore communication?”

“I’ll check.”

There was no problem until I passed the docking port. Thanks to the signal chip attached to the spacesuit, signals were displayed well and communication was carried out without any problems except for some noise.

However, after they entered the ship, they disappeared from the detector one by one, and communication stopped.

“The signal goes well without any problem, but there seems to be something interfering with it.”

“How can we not solve it?”

“Well, I guess I’ll have to go in and deal with it myself.”

Did they send another person knowing what would happen to those who went in?

‘Should I just throw it away?’

Milo was also not the type to value the lives of his subordinates like other Space Dog cartels.

‘Still, Stax and Justin are a bit of a waste.’

The vice-captain is a smuggler who has worked with Milo for a long time, and Justin is a valuable engineer within Space Dog.

While he was wondering whether to abandon them or not, a subordinate from the situation room called him.

“Captain, is there a signal?”

“huh? who is this?”

“It’s Justin.”

Justin’s movements appeared on the detector, saying that even the wolf god would listen to his prayers if he spoke to him.

The light on the detector was getting closer to where the docking port was connected.

“Didn’t he go to the engine room? “Why are you coming back?”

“well.”

“Try using the docking port camera.”

The camera screen was displayed at the bottom of the large display in the situation room.

A moment later, Justin walked into the docking port.

He was taking off his transparent helmet, wondering where he had thrown it away. Thanks to this, his dazed face was captured on camera.

“uh? “Why is he taking his helmet off?”

“Oh my gosh! “That bastard is holding a bomb!”

Justin was holding the bomb that he had given the vice-captain to detonate if there was nothing of value on board.

“It’s inside the docking port, so if it explodes, it’ll cause a lot of damage!”

“I know, bitch! hey! “Turn on the speakers!”

Milo hurriedly picked up the microphone and called Justin.

“Justin! “What are you doing now?”

“Captain.”

Justin, who had been walking with a bomb in his dazed state, stopped on the spot.

“Where is Stax going and why are you carrying that bomb?”

“Captain, I…”

When Milo saw him, Justin didn’t look sane.

It was suspicious that he had the bomb that was given to the vice captain in the first place, and it was strange that he was walking around without his helmet without knowing what was inside the spaceship.

However, if he detonated a bomb in the docking port, it was clear that the Calvin would suffer great damage.

“I’m scared.”

“Hey, what are you so scared of? “What’s so scary about you pirate bastard?”

Milo gestured to his subordinates while talking to Justin.

This was to shield all surrounding areas connected to the docking port on the Calvin.

“That’s it. Let’s put the bomb down and come in and talk. huh?”

“Captain, you don’t know anything. “I’m trying to protect the Calvin.”

“What?

Justin, who was suddenly making strange noises, looked at the camera and smiled strangely.

“Kkkkk no, it’s already too late. Darkness, darkness will swallow this ship.”

“What?”

｢Kihihi kihihihihihi!｣

“Wait…!”

Justin laughed from ear to ear and pressed the switch on the bomb.

Before Milo could stop him, the bomb exploded and the ship shook greatly.

–

‘That’s it.’

As soon as I heard the vibrations from the ship, I prepared to leave.

‘First the structure.’

The structure of the ship was changed so that there is a straight line between the side where the explosion occurred and the space where the children in the engine room are.

The black walls wiggled and changed shape, and the space where No. 26 and Aadhai were located became one with the engine room.

After breaking the helmet of the spacesuit and taking off Helmet No. 26, which had dozens of tentacles pushed inside, Aadhai, who was sucking blood, looked at me and pretended to know me.

｢Big baby!｣

｢Me｣｢Hunting｣｢Success｣

[Zuzu zuzuzu (Good job everyone)]

About half of the enemies who entered the ship fell into the trap I made and died.

There were some who were struggling to escape, but they were dealt with by No. 26 and Adhai.

‘It’s fortunate that the predatory effect can be achieved with the erosion tentacles.’

Aimorph’s predation effect does not occur when it eats dead corpses.

To be exact, the predation effect only works when you consume the creature you killed. Similarly, in the evolution condition, which requires catching an intelligent species, only the creatures you kill are counted.

However, since the sample is treated as genetic essence purified using inferior technology, it is not subject to the restrictions of ‘the creature I killed’.

Anyway, even if I, who had assimilated the ship, killed an enemy with a trap and then ate the meat, the predation effect activated without a problem.

‘Thanks to you, I gained some interesting fusion characteristics, but I’ll check that later.’

Now is the time to change ships.

[Let’s go]

“Yes!”

The wall in front of the engine room disappeared, revealing outer space.

The outer wall of a pirate ship can be seen dozens of meters away from us. The broken wreckage and pirates inside the ship were being sucked out of the damaged docking port hole into outer space.

I released the erosion tentacles.

All of my senses that had spread throughout my stomach disappeared, along with a sense of loss as if I had lost my body.

At the same time, the black mucus covering the stomach began to dry out rapidly.

I strengthened my legs and kicked hard.

My body, enlarged by the back armor, swims in space.

Following this, No. 26 flew in, similar to me, gaining propulsion by pushing its body with its fins. Beside No. 26, Aadhai was flying leisurely without any restrictions, like a space dragon.

In front of us, we see the entire huge ship operated by pirates.

‘Looking at the damage, it’s not bad.’

I controlled pirate engineer Justin as a parasite to blow up a docking port.

What I aimed for was two things.

The first thing to do is to drill a hole in the outer wall of the enemy ship so that I can safely sneak into the ship.

The ship they use is equipped with numerous plasma batteries and is also equipped with a system that can detect me attached to the outer wall.

So, in order to divert the attention of the enemies and sneak into the ship, I had to draw their attention and create a door in the outer wall through which I could enter safely.

‘That role was Justin.’

The firepower of the bomb was stronger than I expected, so the hole in the enemy ship was quite large. Thanks to this, I think I can achieve my second intention without difficulty.

‘For a while, we won’t be able to travel at faster than light speeds either.’

My second intention is to prevent the pirate ship from leaving this spot by traveling at faster than light speeds.

I know that there is a pirate hideout around here.

If this ship flies to the hideout at faster than light speeds, I will be the one at a disadvantage.

To prevent this, we had to create a situation in which they could not use the speed of light engine without permission.

‘If the ship is damaged, the light engine will not operate in most cases.’

Although it is not impossible, the load on the hull increases during faster-than-light voyages. If done incorrectly, the ship may split during the faster-than-light voyage.

‘I wouldn’t care if we were at war, but not now.’

Unless they somehow fill the hole in the outer wall, they will refrain from using the speed of light engine.

Anyway, I achieved all my intentions with this.

We entered the broken hole without any problems.

After stepping into the ship, I ran through the corridors of the area without stopping.

‘It’s not over yet.’

You must get through the shielded door surrounding this area before it closes.

Number 26 and Adhai, who landed almost at the same time as me, followed me without hesitation.

At the far end of the hallway, you can see the unclosed shield door.

‘camera.’

Through auxiliary organs, the movement of a surveillance camera can be felt beyond the shielded door.

As I ran, I stretched out my erosion tentacles and destroyed the surveillance cameras.

If you want to take control of this ship, you’ll have to face the pirates directly, but there’s no need to get caught early.

After destroying the surveillance camera, we managed to get through the shield door.

‘The entry was successful and successful.’

People will come soon to repair the ship. I have to get out of this place before that happens.

[Zuzu (over there)]

When I was controlling Justin, I was told where he could hide on the pirate ship.

According to Justin, this ship is a remodeled ship based on Star Union’s trading ship, so the first and second floors are entirely used as cargo holds.

Normally, creatures and cargo for sale are stored in the cargo holds, but since this ship was on its way back after completing a transaction, some of the cargo holds are empty.

‘Products are stored only on the second floor and the first floor is empty.’

Since there is nothing to protect, there are no guards and only patrols are made roughly, so it is the perfect place for me to hide.

‘Because we are on the third floor.’

If we continue like this, we will 100% be caught on camera. The back is closed with a shielded door, and the only way to get there is to the other side.

If you go that direction, there is a high possibility that you will encounter pirates coming to repair the area.

‘Let’s go through the floor.’

First, I have to go down to the second floor and then go back another way.

I cut my arm and let the acid blood fall on the floor. As the solid metal plate melted, toxic smoke rose.

‘It’s not good because I’m getting bigger.’

Adha or No. 26, who can shrink himself, would be able to easily escape through the hole just created, but not me.

I quickly enlarged the hole by bleeding more, grabbed the edge of the melted floor with my fighting arm, and opened it wide.

‘The hole is big, though.’

They’ll think it’s because of an explosion in an isolated area.

Of course, when you do the repairs, you’ll realize that it wasn’t caused by an explosion, but it doesn’t matter.

By then, there would have been so much chaos that it wouldn’t matter who made the traces.

[Zuzzuzuzu (go down first)]

“Yes.”

I sent No. 26 and Adhai down first, but I detected human movement not far away.

Pirates wearing space suits were coming here to repair the damaged area.

‘Should I use my newly acquired characteristics?

I thought about it for a moment, but I gave up.

‘no. There are many other ways.’

It is not advisable to give important information to the enemy early on.

Instead of my newfound talent, I used Dread Watch on one of the pirates across the hall.

Just as they were about to pass the corner, the pirate in the middle began to glow with fear.

“Ahhhh!”

“What’s wrong with this guy?”

“dark! Darkness devours us! “Kwaaaaaak!”

While the other pirates were calming their fearful colleagues, I melted the floor and jumped down.

Various facilities related to animals came into view, including numerous containers, large frozen capsules, and a rectangular prison with alloy bars.

[Zuzuzu (this way)]

I sensed it with my auxiliary device and found that there were stairs over there.

We ran in the direction of the stairs. The camera installed on the stairs was neutralized by shooting thorn hairs.

Only after hiding in a corner of the cargo hold on the first floor were we able to take a breather.

‘good. Now that we’ve come this far, what’s next…’

While I was thinking about what to do, I heard an explosion from above.

It was the sound of a plasma battery mounted on a pirate ship spewing fire.

The target is the ship I took control of and then abandoned.

The pirate expedition team was all dead and the ship was damaged, so the captain of this ship must have been quite upset.

‘For now, enjoy the captain’s position to the fullest.’

That place will soon be mine.

–

“It’s so fucking messed up.”

“How do I get rid of this?”

The engineers of the Rusrock Cartel sighed while wearing their spacesuits.

“The captain is angry, so we have to deal with it somehow. “Hughley and I will take care of the exterior walls, and Cooper, you take care of the inside.”

“Preload.”

Cooper alone grabbed a metal injector to repair damage to the ship’s interior.

A metal injector, which looks like a human-sized welder, is a tool mainly used to repair large artificial structures such as ships.

When several alloy plates are connected to the device and activated, liquid alloy comes out from the tip of the injector and welds the damaged area.

While repairing it with a metal injector for a while, he discovered something strange.

“This wasn’t caused by an explosion?”

The hole in the front floor of the shield door was melted at the edges, as if acid had been poured into it.

He lifted his head to check below.

At that moment, a hand came out from inside the hole and grabbed his helmet.

“!”

He couldn’t even scream and was dragged into the hole.

There was only a lonely metal injector left where Cooper was.

A few minutes later, Hughley, who had been making repairs on the outside wall, came inside to rest for a while.

“what? “Cooper, where did you go?”

He tilted his head when he saw that only the metal injector was left hanging in front of the large pit.

“cooper! “Where did you go?”

“Last floor, this floor.”

“Why did you go down there?”

There was no answer back. Huey waited for Cooper to come up, but there was no sign of him.

He had no choice but to jump down the pit.

“hey! “What are you doing in the cargo hold?”

“This way, this way.”

There was minimal light in the cargo hold to avoid irritating the smuggled animals.

Huey knew that too, but even taking that into account, the place was much darker than usual.

“Has the light gone out?”

Huey, who had not yet noticed anything strange, walked along where he heard the voice.

‘Did you hear it on the stairs?’

As far as Huey knows, there are currently no creatures or cargo stored on the first floor. Wanting to fool around together, he went down the stairs without suspecting anything.

“cooper?”

I thought the second floor was quite dark a while ago, but the first floor was nothing compared to that.

Even for Huey, whose head was like a flower garden, it took quite a bit of courage to go into such a dark place alone.

“Cooper! It’s so dark I can’t see anything!”

As he shouted, a white light turned on in the distance.

Huey, knowing that it was a flashlight attached to his helmet, was relieved and followed the light.

“What on earth am I doing here…”

Huey, who was following the light, met Cooper, who he had been looking forward to so much.

But Cooper was much different than he thought.

He wasn’t wearing a helmet.

To be exact, Cooper didn’t have a head that could fit a helmet.

So where does this light that illuminates them come from?
