I Became an Evolving Space Monster Chapter 123

Ep. 123

‘Is this the end?’

Muriel’s body was clean and without a single wound.

However, the suit covering her body was not like that. Because there were holes here and there, exposing her white inner skin.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Nano Spartan module is the best among defense modules, but it is not all-purpose. If it is damaged to that extent, it can only be restored to its original state by replenishing nanomachines.

‘But I’ve probably already used up that extra amount.’

You can tell by looking at those trembling eyes.

That she doesn’t have many cards left.

‘I have already confirmed all the equipment and techniques that Heavenly Mother taught me.’

Also, I recalled one by one the memories of fighting the rankers before fighting Muriel.

What kind of race they were, what skills they had, how strong the equipment they wore, and what strategies they mainly used.

Therefore, we were able to fully predict what modules Muriel was equipped with and what kind of psychic power technology she would use in what situations.

‘I fought pretty well, though.’

Muriel’s skills weren’t bad. I don’t know why, but since he brought with him a fraudulent combination of a hybrid between a cult and a cyborg, it would be enough to call him a formidable enemy.

If she had known a little more about my condition, my abilities, etc., she wouldn’t have suffered so easily.

‘At least I would have waited until I could use my trump card like the Thunder God.’

If Muriel decides to run away in the first place, it will not be easy for me to chase after her.

The large camp we are standing in has a long-distance transportation vehicle called a transport ship. Even if it couldn’t go off the planet, it would never have been able to catch up if it had gone to another continent.

‘But…’

Even though she had several chances to live, she didn’t act like that.

And now.

The time to pay the price is approaching.

“…Tsk!”

Muriel let out a short nap. The confident smile from when we first fought is nowhere to be seen.

With only one chance left as a coordinator, she completely lost her will to fight.

There is only one path she can take instead of fighting.

“shit! “We’ll see!”

Muriel screamed and pressed the buttons on the side of her neck with her mechanical arm.

Then her body suddenly blurred like smoke and soon disappeared into the fog. It was a perfect hiding, as if it had never been there to begin with.

‘I can’t even see it in my field of vision.’

It was so bad that even auxiliary organs could not detect it properly.

If it weren’t for the vibrations created by Muriel’s exhaled breath and her footsteps hitting the floor, I would have had no idea which direction she was running.

Heavenly Mother, whose vision was much better than mine, kept turning her head to find Muriel.

“That year, there was still something left behind.”

“I, Jeong, Do, Eun, God, Module, Eun, Ge, Im, have never seen anything before.”

“…First of all, it is invisible to my eyes.”

Considering that such a high-level stealth module had not been used until now, it was clear that there was a limit to its use in battle or a limit on the number of times it could be used.

“What are you going to do?”

The Heavenly Mother, who could not find Muriel, turns her head to me.

‘How do you do it?’

Asking the obvious.

“Jap·a·seo·juk·in·da.”

｢…Good.｣

No matter how excellent her hiding equipment is, she is ultimately in the palm of my hand.

‘Because this is my nest.’

Right now, it is difficult to find her directly using only my auxiliary organs.

But the traces she left behind. They are easy to catch as long as you have a nest and a link.

‘I’ve said this several times.’

Running away before fighting me was the only way for Muriel to survive.

–

‘Fuck, fuck, fuck…’

In a forest covered in thick fog.

Muriel was hiding in the branches of a redwood tree hundreds of meters high.

This module was an experimental module developed by Megacorp Ranker, who shares the same ideas as her.

It is a module made using ‘Giant Chameleon’ as a material and grants a high level of hiding ability to the person who wears it. Of course, it is impossible to see with the naked eye, and it is not detected by detection equipment or technology.

However, since it was not yet completed, there were many unstable aspects.

It’s okay when you move carefully, but if you move vigorously for battle or are attacked by an enemy, the stealth effect is immediately canceled.

The ranker who developed this module even said that since it is still an unfinished work, it would be best to use it only for escape when in a hurry.

Although they succeeded in escaping from the enemy, problems remain.

The likelihood that that terrible Aimorph or the Heavenly Mother with a strong grudge would give up their pursuit of her was close to zero.

‘…I don’t have time to wait for the coordinator to reset.’

Time acts equally on both sides. She has no choice but to hide for 24 hours, but not over there.

‘If that morph is a bastard, it might burn down this entire forest.’

If you’re a guy who hangs corpses on trees, that’s okay.

When she remembered the cruel sight of her subordinates, she flinched involuntarily. This was because I had a strong feeling that a skinned corpse might be my future.

‘I can’t do this.’

She observed the surroundings using the strengthening effect of psionium that still remained. I could feel it with my developed senses, and there were no other enemies nearby.

‘I didn’t want to write this, but…’

There is nothing I can do because my life is in danger.

Determined that there were no enemies nearby, she pressed the button on the side of her neck. Then, a long string came out from the nano suit that covered her from the neck down and stuck in her ear.

The device she had now activated was a device that made interstellar communication possible.

Before fighting Aimorph, she had fused a military communicator stored in a safe with a nano Spartan module.

Originally, she was going to use it to order her men on another planet to bring back a spaceship after a battle.

The reason it was not used during battle is because communication between stars consumes a lot of energy. When this communication ends, the Nano Spartan module is likely to consume all of its remaining energy and be automatically deactivated.

‘Please take it!’

In other words, this one communication is her lifeline.

While the short connection sound was ringing, the sound of a loud wind suddenly reached her ears.

When a huge bird flaps its wings, the sound is heard briefly and then disappears.

‘what?’

I looked up and looked over the trees, but couldn’t see anything.

I was wondering if I should change my seat, when the communicator beeped.

And a beautiful male voice is heard.

｢My Honey? Why didn’t you say that communication could be wiretapped?”

“Oppa!”

I never thought that the voice I always thought was unlucky would be as welcome as it is now. Muriel could barely stop herself from bursting into tears.

“Oppa, I’m in big trouble now! “Help me now!”

｢What?｣

“I lost my men and my spaceship to these guys, and I’m being chased now! “Please come quickly!”

“Are they those bastards again? They said it was a truce, but you… wait a minute? Then what do you do with my request? “I asked you to save the female Wolff.”

Muriel became irritated by the other person’s reaction, calling her a slave even in an urgent situation.

“No shit! brother! My younger brother says he’s going to collapse. Does that matter? And it’s not them, it’s someone else! “There are only two of us, but our skills are no joke, so we have to come prepared properly!”

“two? “There are only two of you, and you attacked My Honey?”

“One is a Wolf Player who wanted to give it to my brother, and the other is an Aimorph Player!”

“…what? Amorph?」

“Huh! “I said I was the 5th ranker!”

When Muriel spoke of the enemy pursuing her, the other party fell silent.

“Anyway, I don’t have time! Get ready as quickly as possible…huh? brother?”

｢….｣

“Oppa?”

｢Oh Shit…Sudden]

“Oppa? Oppa? Holy shit! It was cut off, right?!”

Due to the sudden termination of communication, Muriel hurriedly called again. However, the connection tone continued to ring and the other party did not answer.

“shit! Oh no! “Uh, if you bet my sister…”

She tried to call for help somehow, but a red light came on from her wrist.

It was an indication that the Nano Spartan module was being released. As soon as the red light went out, the nano suit surrounding her body disappeared and turned into a small disk-shaped machine.

Because the suit was gone, she was almost naked. Although she was a strong cyborg, she was meaningless in front of the monsters pursuing her.

The hiding effect from the experimental module is still being applied, but it is not permanent. When the effect ends, her life is over.

“Uh oh! no! “No!”

Muriel, almost delirious, shook the disc to somehow get the module to work again. Even so, there was no way the nano machines would come back when all their energy had been used up, but she didn’t have enough reason left to judge this right now.

“It can’t be like this… hehe?!”

As she was photographing a tree with a disk, she heard the sound of leaves rustling in her ears. An animal was approaching under the tree where she was hiding.

There are only two animals that can walk so calmly in this toxic fog.

After a while, an animal with the head of an eagle and the body of a lioness with flexible but strong muscles appeared.

She took advantage of the excellent vision unique to birds of prey and carefully scanned the surroundings and the treetops.

Muriel remained still, holding her breath. The griffon passed by the tree where she was hiding and disappeared beyond the fog.

“phew.”

Only after confirming that she had left was Muriel able to breathe.

‘…I need to move.’

I don’t know when that griffon will return. Engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Gryphon Wolff without any protective equipment is literally suicidal.

‘Because I can’t even see the damn Morph Park.’

I had to get out of this place right away.

After making that promise, Muriel retrieved the disk that had hit the tree.

“huh?”

The disk was covered in black slime. Her eyes turned to the wound in the tree.

From there, sticky mucus was flowing instead of sap.

‘….’

She knows what that black liquid is.

That is a substance automatically secreted from the Amorph’s nest.

In other words, this tree she has been hiding in has been contaminated by Aimorph’s nest.

‘Now that I think about it….’

Suddenly, she remembered the sound of wings flapping before she called for help through the communicator.

Except for three, there are no living creatures in this forest.

So who made that sound?

Muriel felt the blood throughout her body turn cold.

It’s not just the feeling. Her body was also shaking as if it had been doused with cold water.

She slowly raised her head. Above her head was nothing but branches and leaves.

Shaking all over, she threw the disc upward.

Since there was nothing, the disc, which was supposed to fly upward, hit something in the air and fell. The figure of the

bastard

slowly appeared above the head of Muriel, who was shaking like a woman possessed by a ghost.

A creature with a long body like a snake was coiled around a redwood tree and looking down at her as she took cover.

“Hee hee hee!”

She tried to run, but he was faster. A tentacle shot out from its back and grabbed her leg.

“Let go of this… AAAAAAAAA!”

The six sharp appendages on the tentacle grabbed her leg and crushed it. Then other tentacles grabbed her arms and legs.

“Save me! “Please save me!”

“Yes, I said it. “Bae·le·go·la·seo·nae·jang·eul·show·ye·ju·do·da·go.”

“That’s it! Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

As the healthy limbs were slowly crushed, the light in Muriel’s purple eyes disappeared. The psychic power technique had to be canceled mid-cast due to the terrible pain.

“Off….”

“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time now, but I haven’t done it.” ·uh.”

It seemed as if the bastard would carry out his words at any moment, so Muriel hurriedly opened her mouth.

“Wait! Let’s talk! “Give me just a moment!”

“conversation?”

Amov paused at her words.

Muriel, who realized that the keyword she spoke of was the last hope, continued.

–

“I have a lot of good cards! Because it will definitely be advantageous for you! So, let’s negotiate!”

Muriel speaks to me in an obedient manner because her life is at stake. I withdrew my hand that I had extended to her.

‘It’s a negotiation.’

Now it is too late to talk about the word negotiation. She threatened my life several times and her men tried to kill No. 26 and Aadhai.

Plus, she knows too much about me now.

‘If it gets passed over to other players, it’s a big problem.’

I heard her talking on the phone with the communication device built into the suit earlier, and it seemed like there were other players who knew her.

To prevent information leaks, Muriel must die by my hands.

‘Yes, but.’

Information about those other players becomes quite interesting.

“Woah, if you want, I will serve you! You know it! Even Aimorph can do something like that!”

Did he think that I was tempted by his offer because I was quiet?

Instead of answering, I came down from the tree holding Muriel.

‘You don’t know me very well yet.’

Since they don’t know me, they can say such arrogant things without permission.

“I don’t mind doing it anytime, as long as you let me live… Huh?!”

I lifted the eroding tendril that was holding her leg high. And then they hung her body on the ground.

“Keuuk!”

“Illusion, mistake, ha, ji, ma, la.”

Muriel coughing up black blood.

I didn’t care about her reaction and lifted the tentacle that had grabbed her again. Muriel’s eyes showed pain and fear, but I did not hesitate.

“Kwaek!”

“Your body can do this.”

“That bastard! That’s it!”

“There is only one thing to do.”

“Eh eoapiiiaaaaan keung!”

After hitting her more than ten times, bones and various mechanical modules from her body broke through her skin and protruded out.

‘Because I’m a cyborg, I can’t die like this.’

Since I had no intention of killing him yet, I hit him just enough to break his backbone.

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…?”

Muriel, lying on the floor moaning, looked like a dissected frog with only the nerves barely alive.

The white jade-like skin, beautiful appearance, and nice horns are everywhere, and all that remains is a broken, ugly mechanical doll.

“Did you ask for my negotiation? good. Deul·uh·ju·ji.”

When she heard my dry voice, she lifted her head with difficulty.

“You’re giving me my life?”

“Dae·sin·jo·geon·is·da.”

“I’ll listen to anything! “I can do everything the city tells me to do!”

Even if I don’t say that much, you will have no choice but to listen to what I say anyway.

I activated the parasite colony right in front of her. The type-enhanced parasite stretches out its body as if it feels good to be out in the open air for the first time in a long time.

“That’s it! Now sleep!”

I grabbed Muriel’s head so she couldn’t resist and let the parasites out. A black parasite wriggled and crawled into her nostril.

“Keeek! Kekkeek! “Wow!”

“Won, Rae, Ra, Myeon, Lee, Sang, Tae, Ro, Sim, Moon, Ha, Will, Ji, Man.”

I told her what would happen next as she coughed frantically.

“You gave me a lot of harm and insulted me. “I can repay that debt.”

“What is that?”

“Now, now, from now, from, from, from, to, from, to, from, to, from, to, from, to, from, to, from, to, from, to, from, to, from, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, etc. “Scratch it, I’ll give it to you.”

“what?”

After hearing what I said, she looks up at me with a dumb expression. It seems like you don’t understand what it means, but anyway, after a while, you will understand it on your own, even if you don’t want to.

“Sashimi · Sum · is · Inner, righteousness · Moon · · · · · Pool · Pool · Rill · When · · · · · ·

“Uh oh oh! “Wait, wait, wait, wait!”

“True, true, true, false, deed, word, silver, small, dragon, nothing.”

Muriel’s complexion turns pale when she sees that the Ghost Claws feature is activated on my hand.

She knows it well because she is a cult member too. How many things can I do with these nails?

“I will ask. “Who are you?”

As the interrogation began, my sharp fingernails flashed purple.

–

About six hours after the game of death began between Muriel and me, I was able to extract all useful information from Muriel.

‘It’s a huge obsession.’

Even though her spine was scratched hundreds of times by the ghost’s claws, Muriel did not go crazy. It was a glimpse into how great her desire for life was.

‘I almost died from the parasite’s sanctions because I had other thoughts several times.’

Thanks to my symbiotic spore properties, she didn’t die. Actually, I don’t know if that’s good for Muriel or not.

“There is nothing more worth seeing.”

“…So, if that’s the case, you’re buying me and saving my life…?”

“no.”

“That kind of thing!”

Muriel gives her a look that asks if she is different from her promise.

I shook my head.

“My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my mind, my, I, I, I, I, I, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done.”

“Da next?”

As I stepped back, a griffon appeared from behind.

｢Muriel….｣

“Ah ah ahhh.”

In the mouth of the Heavenly Mother was a piece of clothing that young Wolf had worn. Muriel, seeing this, began to tremble like an aspen tree.

“You killed my family.”

“Oh no! “There was a misunderstanding…!”

“I hesitated when you beheaded my lover and when you tortured me. “I wonder if it’s right to kill you.”

“Wait a minute! Sister Seo-a! Wow, we had a good relationship! huh?”

“okay. 2 years ago I saved you. “I saved you because I thought we were the same human…”

Heaven’s mother carefully put down the clothes she was holding.

Before she knew it, bloody tears were flowing from her eyes.

“I was wrong. “Players like you must go extinct.”

While the Heavenly Mother spoke, I checked the symbionts on Muriel’s body.

“Na·wa·dong·one·ha·ge·eight·six·hour·gan·eul·ju·ma. “I, go, eat, uh, ya, ha, ni, porridge, ii, ji, 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

“Okay.”

“This is different from the promise! They said they would save my life! “They said they would save my life!”

Muriel cries at me as I leave.

Why don’t you keep your promise?

‘I never made a promise in the first place, but I kept it and went to sleep.’

I said I would help you pay off your debt, but I never said I would save your life.

However, there is no need to point out that fact.

Six hours later.

I returned to where they were.

“Hee hee hee hee hee hee…”

Muriel was barely breathing, with only her head and upper body remaining. The Heavenly Mother could not be seen where she had gone.

I don’t know what their relationship was, but it seemed like Heavenly Mother didn’t want to see Muriel die.

‘There’s no need to call me.’

I picked up Muriel who had fallen.

“Mom…”

She quietly recited her last words.

Soon my jaws opened wide and I swallowed her whole body.

With that, Space Dog Ranker Muriel, who was ranked 20th, died.

“Predation effect activated! Succeeded in stealing ‘Muriel (Han Su-bin)’s perk!｣

｢The ‘Metal Absorption’ previously held can be fused.｣

｢The ‘Muriel (Han Su-bin)’ perk and the ‘Metal Absorption’ characteristic are fused. Evolve with the ‘Plunderer’s Irregular Polyhedron’ trait! ｣

“Plunderer’s Irregular Polyhedron: Devours a piece of equipment and specializes the equipment’s unique abilities. This can only be done once per piece of equipment, and when you feast on another piece of equipment, the characteristic effects of the previous piece of equipment are lost.

*PS: You are death and the destroyer of the universe. But be careful. The whole universe will be paying attention to you.”

What struck my head along with the taste of the sweet gourmet cake was the text box related to the new feature.
