I Became an Evolving Space Monster Chapter 226

Ep. 226

The conversation with Ham Ort lasted quite a long time.

This was because he knew more about Odd Grad than I thought.

‘Is it natural since I’ve been his companion for a long time?’

Anyway, to summarize the information I heard from him, there are two things.

‘A ring that manipulates emotions and the power of foresight.’

The guy said that Odd Grad carries around an unidentified ring. He said he couldn’t remember exactly when, but he was certain that he had at least obtained it after becoming the leader.

And because of that ring, Ham Ort was late to notice that the man was becoming strange.

‘Gallagon can’t lie.’

Because the setting is to communicate by expressing emotions through ideological means, there is no concept of lying. Although it is possible to convey incorrect information due to misunderstanding or ignorance, it is impossible to lie intentionally.

So Gallagons basically trust their own compatriots.

Ham Ort also said that he didn’t notice anything strange about him at first. Even though he became violent, I thought it was because he was having a hard time with the pressure of leading a group.

But that wasn’t it.

He happened to witness Od Grad killing his own people.

The deceased was Od Grad’s first companion and the longest-living female White Gallagon in the group. Odd Grad mercilessly dealt with the person who had been with him the longest.

Just before his death, the old companion cut off the animal’s tail, and the ring it was wearing fell off for a moment. Ham Ort, who was secretly watching this, was able to get a glimpse of the emotions of the person he loved the most the moment the ring fell.

The guy was beside himself with inexplicable anger and desperation. There is no wonderful black dragon that he knows, only a crazy tyrant remains.

The guy who had his tail cut off and put the ring on his paw calmly lied in front of his compatriots the next day. They say that old White Gallagon died after being attacked by Skywhale.

‘It’s a ring that distorts emotions.’

This is equipment that does not exist in the game. What is the meaning of a ring that hides one’s feelings?

Moreover, it is difficult to say that it is particularly useful for creatures where emotional expression is important, such as Gallagon. For Gallagon, who deeply trusts his people, such a tool would be unnecessary.

‘Except for those who can read the future.’

Looking at the example of Aadhai, in order to grow further in White Gallagon, you have to prey on White Gallagon.

Therefore, the process of moving to the next level in White Gallagon naturally leads to a battle with the pack leader or a war with another group. White Gallagons that safely survived the war become Black Gallagons and compete for the position of leader or become independent as new groups.

That is Gallagon’s ecological cycle.

In fact, Gallagon’s growth process is not clearly known in the game. I also know for sure because I came to this planet and witnessed Aadhai’s transformation first-hand.

‘He can see the distant future, so he must have seen the competition for leadership.’

There were no Gallagon groups on this planet other than the Od Grad group. The only way for White Gallagon to grow is to kill its leader.

‘It’s impossible for a normal White Gallagon to beat a Black Gallagon.’

Only someone who can become Red Gallagon can defeat Black Gallagon.

‘He used his ability to read the future to eliminate threats to his position in advance.’

In fact, it is said that he regularly kills hatchlings and throws the eggs outside the nest. Since the group is starving, it is in the name of reducing the number of weak individuals. Perhaps the reason Aadhai was kicked out was also related to this.

‘I wouldn’t have been able to do this if I didn’t have the ring.’

What would happen if other compatriots found out that he killed his compatriots just to survive? What if you are a mother like Ham Oort who lost her child because of him?

‘I will never forgive you.’

At this point, the ring is the only means of solidifying its dominance over the pack. Once the ring is gone, it’s only a matter of time before the group collapses.

‘That’s enough about the ring.’

Next is foresight. By talking to him, I was able to get some interesting information about his abilities.

Od Grad always sleeps before making important decisions in the group. It is said that they make decisions as soon as they wake up, so there is no one they don’t know about among their companions.

‘Is sleep a catalyst that unlocks the ability to foresee the long-term future?’

It is unclear whether sleep is exactly the means by which the ability is activated, but it can be assumed that foresight is possible only in a generally stable state of the body.

‘If he is not stable, he cannot see the distant future.’

Even if you see the future in a dream and take action, you do not know what form the future will take in the meantime. Of course, we have to move in a way to avoid the predicted future, but to make this clear, we need to re-observe the future.

For example, let’s say I predicted a future where I would be hit by a car and die.

I might move far away from the road to avoid cars, but if the building next to the sidewalk suddenly collapses, I have no choice but to die. To avoid this, I have to observe the future again where I die by being crushed by a building due to my actions of avoiding a car.

‘Simply put, all you have to do is attract successfully.’

Because it means you can’t see the future while you’re fighting with me.

‘I would have to become weak to attract him.’

It’s not impossible, but it’s not an easy path either. There are also many dangerous variables.

‘…You have to brace yourself.’

After quickly gathering my thoughts, I asked Ham Ort again.

[zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (Was there anything strange when fighting that guy?)]

｢Understand｣｢I didn’t｣｢In detail｣｢Explanation｣｢Request｣

[Zuz zuzuzu zuzu zuzu zuzuzuzuzu zuzuzu (the bastard) Knowing this attack in advance and avoiding it or something like that)]

“Totally” “Overwhelmed” “Threat” “Impossible”

[Zuzuzu (I see)]

In fact, just blocking the ability to observe the long-term future is a great harvest. The ‘predator sense’ is also helpful in compensating for imminent danger, but it cannot change the structure in which the danger arises.

‘I have no choice but to check the rest by face-to-face with him.’

[Zuzuzu zuzuz (one last thing)]

｢Ask a question｣

[Zuzuzuz zuzuz (not a question this time)]

｢?｣

There is one last thing I need to confirm for the plan I will put into action from now on. .

[Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzuzu (I will stop at nothing to kill Odd Grad)] ｢I agree｣ [

Zuzuzu

Zuzuzuzu (Can you risk your life?)]

｢Meteor’s “Daughter,” “My people,” “To save her,” “I decided,” “My life,” “It doesn’t matter,”

was the immediate answer. There was not a single hesitation felt in the guy’s thoughts.

When talking to him, as well as his answer just now, he seemed to have quite a strong sense of brotherhood, even among Gallagons.

‘He is not someone who can easily abandon his child.’

I’m not Gallagon, but I could clearly tell what kind of feelings he had for Aadhai. Although his attitude toward his daughter was ambiguous, he was not so cold-blooded as to kill her just because she was born weak.

‘It seems like there’s an inside story.’

I don’t really need to know that part. That’s a problem that needs to be solved between Aadhai and him.

‘I checked everything that needed to be checked.’

[Zuzzu zuzu zuzuzu zu zuzuzu zuzuzu (This is the end of my questions. Go inside and rest)]

Ham Ort nodded at me and turned around. Before entering the nest, the guy looked once in the direction where Aadhai had disappeared.

The kids haven’t come back yet. After standing for a moment and looking out over the forest, I went into the nest.

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (just bring some food for them)]

｢Okay.｣

[Zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzu (And on the way in, take the backpack with the equipment inside)] ｢

…I’m your mother. “Do you know that it is?”

Heaven’s mother grumbled, but accepted my request. After going into the cave, she handed me her backpack.

“I think this is enough to collect information. “What are you going to do from now on?”

She was listening to the conversation between me and Ham Ort from the side, so I think she was thinking the same thing as me. Now all that’s left is to fight Od Grad.

‘I think we have different ideas about how to fight.’

If it were any other time, I would have answered, but not now. Because it may affect the future that Od Grad sees.

‘The fight against him has already begun.’

[Zuz zuzuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (You will never be disappointed)]

｢…Huh?｣

She tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what I was saying. When I stayed silent and didn’t explain further, she didn’t ask any more questions.

The Mother of Sky who went in and out of the cave to take care of the gallagons eating outside the nest.

Everyone went into the nest, but I continued to wait outside for them.

While I was waiting for him, various plans and strategies were constantly going through my head.

It is a plan that has never been attempted either in this world or in the real world. Caution must be exercised.

After some time, the guys came back.

｢Eldest adult｣｢I｣｢I came｣

｢Why is the eldest child outside alone?｣

“We waited until we came.”

‘I guess I persuaded you well.’

Aadhai was looking depressed, but seeing him flapping his wings with strength made him seem to be in a much better mood. It’s probably thanks to No. 26’s timing.

‘Because he’s a deep thinker.’

Regardless of his childish way of speaking, sometimes his words and actions touch my heart. Looking at things like that, I’m glad I didn’t eat it when I first encountered it on the research vessel.

He’s such a good guy, but from now on I’m going to do terrible things to him. Not No. 26, but Adhai PS-111, Mother of Heaven, to everyone present here.

[Zuzuzu zuzuz (Ham Ort, come out)]

“Big adult?”

“I guess the big baby is trying to reconcile.”

Instead of answering their questions, I called Ham Ort again. After a while, Ham Ort and the Heavenly Mother came out of the nest together.

[Zuzuzu zuz zuzuzzu zuzuz zuzuzu (Ham Oort caused trouble in my group)]

｢What?｣

｢Big adult｣｢What are you saying?｣

｢Big baby?｣

When I showed behavior that was completely different from what they expected, everyone said is embarrassed. On the other hand, Ham Oort showed no particular reaction.

The guy’s eyes briefly turn to Adhai. For a fleeting moment, the image of a small Gallagon born from a star appears in eyes resembling amethyst.

Finally, after fully capturing the image of his daughter, he turned his gaze back to me. There was no emotion in the eyes of the guy who made eye contact with me.

The guy had already made enough preparations. I stretched out my wing arm and grabbed the guy’s neck.

“hey! Wait a minute….｣

[Zuzzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (So I will kill you and eat the meat)]

Heavenly Mother, sensing that I was sincerely trying to eat Ham Ort, stretched out her hand to me. Before that I opened my jaw wide.

The moment when the bifurcated jaw was about to swallow Ham Ort’s head.

｢Big Adult｣｢Stop!｣

My body was pushed to the side with a strong impact. Ham Ort also lost his grip due to the shock, which was strong enough to shake his entire body.

｢Meteor’s Daughter?｣

｢Big Adult｣｢I Have Something to Say｣｣｣｢Wait｣ It

was Adhai who attacked me.

Looking at the red makeup on his head, it was clear that he had used Red Gallagon’s ability ‘Red Armor’.

‘I was planning to teach you later.’

I tried to teach him how to use Red Armor usefully in both defense and defense, but he was a smart guy, so he learned it himself.

While Adhaj stood between Ham Ort and me, the Heavenly Mother also jumped in front of me.

“What are you doing now?”

[Zuzuzu zuzuzzu zuzuzuz (I’m just trying to protect my group. Don’t stop me)]

｢Are you serious?｣

[Zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzuzu (If you disturb me, I will clean it

up)] I swung my tail without mercy. Startled, she slammed her legs into the ground. My tail struck the ground mercilessly and shattered it.

“crazy! Moffak, this idiot is real!”

Since she shouldn’t have used the ‘Ice Demon’, I retrieved her tail and opened my mouth wide. A glob of acidic fungus shot out from the inside of my throat and flew towards her.

At that time, the flying fungus stopped in the air.

“Big baby, what’s wrong?”

Number 26, who used restraints against Jingyun, asked me. The concern for me was clearly evident in the waves.

I didn’t answer and instead called PS-111.

[Zuz zuzu zuzu zu zuzu zu (Help me attack them)]

“Reject the attack order. “No damage can be caused to the main controller.”

[Zuzzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzu (Then attack the other guys first)]

PS-111 rarely showed an embarrassed attitude at my words. The guy shook his head with an expressionless face.

“It’s impossible. Currently, ‘Aimov’ is in a state of apparent delirium and is in a state of loss of judgment. “I advise you to take rest.”

The guy who said that stood next to number 26 and opened his mouth to me. His mouth was wide open as if he was going to shoot the demolisher if the situation arises.

‘Anyway, there’s nothing that fits the mechanical theme.’

Contrary to his analysis, my mind is completely intact. I’m trying to be sane and act like I’m keeping up with everyone.

I put this plan into action based on an extremely rational decision to trust everyone who has been with me up to this point.

‘Still, I’m glad I made the right choice.’

I turned my head and glanced at everyone. No one here agreed with my sudden actions.

It’s natural. Because my actions now were clearly an attempt to embarrass the crowd.

‘good.’

[Zuzuz Zuzuzu Zuzu ZuzuZuzzu Zuzu Zuzuzuzu (Everyone in the group has betrayed me, so I’m leaving)]

｢Wait!｣

[Zuzuz Zuzuzu Zuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzuzu (I’ll get the parasite on your head back too) ]

｢Wait… Pfft!｣

By my will, the parasite on the Heavenly Mother’s head came out through her eye socket. As it transformed into the wendigo form, its nostrils disappeared and came out through another hole instead.

She stumbles under the unpleasant feeling of a parasite escaping. As I retrieved the parasite, I also packed a bag with my equipment.

“Big baby, is it true? Are you really going?」

｢Big adult」「Are you kidding?」

[Zuz zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzuzu (I have never lied to you since we first met)]

They would understand what I mean. It would be possible.

‘Otherwise it would be difficult.’

After completing all preparations, I spread my wings and arms. A film as wide as the night sky above my head appeared, and my body rose toward the sky.

As I flew away, no creature followed me.

Seeing that, I felt a little relief and bitterness at the same time.

‘No, if it doesn’t work out like this, it’ll be difficult.’

I passed through the dark clouds and shook my head.

The board Od Grad wanted was fully laid out.

Now it’s time for me to pull him into the trap.
