Ep. 231
–
Od Grad’s pet Char Lumera couldn’t be trusted.
That great black male is invincible. No matter what crisis came, the leader led the group to victory. Char Rumera is not old, but he never saw Od Grad defeated.
So I thought it would be like that today too.
He would wipe out the traitors and feast on their blood.
But reality turned out differently than she thought.
The male she loved was nowhere to be seen and a black star appeared instead. He appeared with wings spread like a snow storm and stood next to the dwarf female.
There was no one here who did not know what this meant.
｢Od Grad the Liar｣｢Defeated!｣
The dwarf leader, protected by the black slayer, shouts.
｢Great Odd Grad｣｢Defeat｣｢Impossible!｣
｢Defeat｣｢Impossible!｣
The other companions rush in, denying the female’s words.
Even if all the companions join forces, they cannot defeat Od Grad. The black slayer who defeated Ohd Grad must be much stronger.
Unfortunately, this time she was right.
One of the white companions breathed out at the dwarf female. Then the black slayer spread his wings and wrapped them around his leader.
The companion’s strength did not damage the creature’s wings at all. While the guy was blocking it, the little leader turned around and rushed towards his companion.
My pet, who was breathing heavily, tried to avoid it, but it was too late. The leader pierced the pet’s body before it could avoid it.
Meanwhile, the black killer moved to catch his young companion, who was fighting two enemies alone.
A pure white queen who moves slowly due to injured wings and a small being who uses ominous powers. The pet that was fighting with the two had no idea that a black killer had appeared.
It used to be a pet that liked to fight, but now it looked like it was half out of its mind. Just as the inexperienced compatriots were drunk on blood while fighting, the companion focused only on attacking the Pure White Queen, Ham Ort.
The young companion, who had succeeded in approaching the Pure White Queen, held on tightly to Ham Ort with both front paws. The young pet, who was holding his body close, let out a breath, and Ham Oort barely escaped the force by twisting his flexible neck.
Even though the attack failed, the young companion did not give up and gathered strength again.
“Danger!”
Char Rubera quickly warned, but she did not listen. The price of not heeding the warning was not light.
A black killer appears like a shadow behind the young pet. Several arms attached to the creature grabbed the young pet. The power gathered around the pet’s mouth dispersed like snow blown by the wind.
And Ham Ort unleashed the power he had gathered towards his young companion’s head. Although it wasn’t a strong power for a pure white queen, it was enough to blow off the heads of her compatriots.
It hasn’t been long since the black killer reappeared, but three people are already dead.
Only then did Char Rubera realize.
The Od Grad group lost the fight against that group.
Char Rumera looked at his companion who was fighting with him. The two, who had the same thoughts, nodded.
“There is a 93% chance that the enemies will escape.”
A metal-smelling creature riding on top of its white kin, Nell Germa, emits waves along with a strange noise. It must have been an order to chase them down. The two ran away with all their might.
Char Rubera is the second fastest in this position after the little leader. The Grassbit compatriots and Nel Germa cannot pursue her.
The pet that was running away next to her gradually fell behind, but Char Rubera didn’t care.
We must quickly leave our hometown and run away to the stars in the sky. Because if they were there, they wouldn’t be able to follow her.
At that moment, a snake appeared and swallowed the pet that was lagging behind.
When she saw her pet disappear, leaving only the tip of its tail behind, she thought her heart would stop.
There was a huge snake there. A snake with thousands, if not tens of thousands of heads, so large that it covers the sky.
The moment she saw the snake’s tail, she recognized its identity.
It was a collection of an enormous amount of power that she could not imagine.
No other compatriot could display such awe-inspiring power. Even the great Od Grad, the being she loved the most.
The snake that swallows the sky flicks its tongue to eat her.
She ran away with all her might, just like she did when she came out of the egg.
The snake behind her tail gets closer and closer.
Char Rubera did not want to die. She still had many things she wanted to do and eat. I couldn’t die here.
While she was flying with that thought in mind, she suddenly felt a strong shock in her chest.
The strength left her body with an intense pain, as if she had been stabbed by a very small, sharp piece of metal.
That was her last memory.
–
‘What is it?’
White Gallagon, who was running away from the psychic breath I shot, suddenly slowed down. I don’t know why the guy who was running away like crazy just now gave up on life.
‘That’s why I couldn’t aim properly.’
The output of the psychic breath fired after obtaining the dragon’s heart was beyond my imagination. Before, it was in the form of a refined energy heat ray, but now the shape has changed. Perhaps because a huge amount of energy was erupted all at once, it resembled a blazing fire.
‘Thanks to Nightmare Horizon, the firepower has increased.’
Nightmare Horizon strengthens the effect of the unique attribute you have. Seeing that the breath’s firepower increased compared to the game, it was clear that the Dragon’s Heart also benefited from it. It not only supplies nearly infinite energy, but also increases the firepower of psychic power attacks. If you later gain a new trait that consumes psychic power, you will also benefit from the enhanced Dragon’s Heart.
‘Is the power about half that of God’s whip?’
Even if the firepower is slightly lower, this is much better. Unlike God’s whip, this one can be fired in succession.
‘It would be great when fighting the fleet.’
It may be a waste to lose the enemy’s genetic essence, but let’s consider it a good experience.
The tentacle that had been moving to shoot the breath went limp, and when I turned my head, Ham Ort approached me. There was a strangeness in the eyes that resembled amethyst. He must have been surprised because he had never seen a psychic breath of this much force before.
“Black kind” “Strength” “Very” “Very” “Strong” “Amazing”
[Zuzu (body?)]
“No problem” “Nothing” “Small being” “Ham Ort” “He helped”
That guy’s broken The Mother of Heaven stuck her head out between the horns.
“What was that just now? It’s a psychic breath, but why is the output like that?”
[Zuzuzu zuzuz (I got the heart of the dragon)]
“Is it still that strong? Is it because it overlaps with the symbolic effect of hunting?”
[Zuzuzuz (possibly)]
“As expected… no. That’s not the point. “You crazy bastard!”
She paused in the middle of speaking, sighed briefly, and let out a wave of thoughts like a rapid-fire gun.
“Did you deliberately let me find out late to avoid Yeji? Do you know how much we suffered because of you?”
[Zuz, zuzu, zuzu, zuzu, zuzu (I would have left the spear behind?)]
“If you just leave the spear, how will we know? Don’t you need to know where to fight? Because of that, the whole area around here was searched!”
[Zuzuz, Zuzu, Zuzuzu, Zuzuzuzu, Zuzuzuzu, Zuzuzuzu (I thought that if I fought, they would see it there anyway)] ”
Ugh, let me not say anything.”
Inside the eye socket. Her amber eyes trembled as if representing her emotions. It was the first time she had reacted this emotionally since the fight with Muriel.
‘…Was I a little harsh?’
There was no other way to catch Od Grad. In fact, my operation was successful.
However, apart from that, it is also true that Heavenly Mother was shocked by my actions. Conversely, if she had acted similarly, I would have been quite confused.
[Zuzuzzu zuzuzzu (I’ll be careful from now on)]
She shook her bird skull-shaped head.
“I know what you were thinking, but I wish we would pay attention too. It’s okay for me, but it’s not for them.”
Her fingers point behind me. When I turned around, there was Aadhai and number 26.
｢A big adult｣｢Too much｣｢Me｣｢Abandonment｣｢Very much｣｢Very much｣｢I hate it｣
Listening to his sincere thoughts, I had nothing to say. As I stayed still, it came up to me and scratched the carapace of my head with its claws.
“But” “It’s really” “It’s not like I threw it away”
so I guess that’s what they’re saying they’ll see it as.
I was trying to express my gratitude, but number 26 jumped out of his head.
“Bad girl! “Really, really bad girl!”
Number 26 emitted a wavelength so intense that I had never seen it before, and stretched out its tentacles. The tentacle was expanded to its original size and hit my head.
‘Huh?!’
It hit me so hard that I thought my neck was broken for a moment. A message appeared before my eyes saying that pain relief had been activated, and my skull caved in.
“Scold the bad boy who bullies children and abandons his family!”
The body of the guy who said that was completely white.
It’s the first time I’ve seen that since I was forcibly administered psionium on a Megacorp research ship a long time ago. That’s why my leaving was so shocking to him.
In the end, there was only one thing I could say to the guy who was running wild all the time.
[Zuzuzu (I’m sorry)]
Did you understand the sincerity in my apology? The guy who was about to hit me more with his tentacles stopped.
After a while, its body gradually returned to pink. The one with small tentacles moved from Aadhai’s head to my head.
｢Are you not going to do anything naughty in the future?｣
[Z(Yes)]
｢If you do something naughty, you will be scolded. “I’m going to hit you hard.”
[Z(Yes)]
The guy curled the end of his tentacle and waved it as if he was clenching his fist. I guess it means a warning not to do that in the future.
‘Heavenly Mother is right.’
They are not easy tools for my slaves to use. Beings who move with me by their own will. They are truly precious to me.
I’ve always lived alone, both in games and in real life, but not here.
The strategy I took this time was to take advantage of their minds. In the end, it was right, but it ended up hurting them.
‘It’s never a good thing in the long run.’
To me or to the kids.
Although Od Grad is a unique entity, there is a good chance that we will encounter enemies with precognitive abilities in the future. At that time, I will review the tactics I used yesterday. Because I was able to survive until now because I did not choose any means.
However, now that I know the risks of this operation, I have no intention of doing the same. From a long-term perspective, it is in my interest to maintain a positive relationship with my children.
After hearing my apology, No. 26 was no longer angry. Of course, he was tapping the horn with his tentacle as if there was a little bit of sediment left.
“I’m not particularly opposed to it. The choice of ‘Aimov’ ultimately yielded the best results. “I believe there is room for learning.”
“…Don’t learn that kind of thing.”
First of all, Odd Grad and his companions are all dead.
What was left now were the Gallagons, who had withdrawn from the fight. The guys who were watching us from afar flinched when they felt our gaze.
‘What will they do?’
It would be a great benefit for me if I gorged on everything, but I don’t know what Aadhai would think.
At that time, a skinny white gallagon flew towards me.
｢I｣｢Sha Belmag｣｢Od Grad｣｢Defeat｣｢Acknowledged｣
The guy who introduced himself as Sha Belmagg was Gallagon, the first among the Od Grad group to refuse battle.
｢Sha Belmag｣｢New Chief｣｢Service｣｢Requested｣｢Mercy｣｢Plead｣ As the
thought wave of surrender sent by him spread quietly, other Gallagons also relaxed their battle stance and came towards us.
I looked at the remaining Gallagons. There weren’t that many White Gallagons, and most of them were Green Gallagons.
Currently, I have completed all Apex conditions. White Gallagons may have some decent characteristics, but Green Gallagons do not. There isn’t really any new trait to take from them.
‘And there’s not much time left for the hunt.’
Even if we catch them right now, we won’t be able to get much genetic essence.
After thinking about it, I looked at Adhai.
[Zuzu Zuzu (You decide)]
“Big adult” “Stronger” “I” “Rights” “No”
[Zuzuzu Zuzu Zuzu Zuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzu Zuzuzuzu (You’ve been thinking about it since you were kicked out of the group. That. It’s time to end your worries)]
｢!｣
Aadhai, who understood my wavelength, opened his eyes wide.
There is no other reason for handing over the choice to him.
Even after joining me, Aadhai sometimes seemed to be haunted by his past of being driven out due to his disability.
I plan to continue taking Aadhai with me in the future as well. So far, the pain of the past has not directly caused any problems, but there is no guarantee that will happen in the future.
So, I’m going to give him a chance to heal his pain.
Here, there is no particular disadvantage to me if he chooses war to relieve his hatred of the group. You won’t be able to fully enjoy the symbol effect, but if you catch that many Gallagons, you’ll be able to get one or two genetic essences.
Conversely, what if he chooses forgiveness?
That’s not bad either. Gallagon is a powerful fighting creature. You may not be able to carry it around all the time, but if you use it when attacking an important planet, there will be no ally as reliable as this.
Aadhai’s eyes turned towards me and then moved slowly. The guy looked at our group once in a while.
Number 26 in my head, I PS-111 and Nell Germa, the Green Gallagons behind them, and Ham Ort and the Mother of Heaven.
The guy who made eye contact with everyone seemed to have finally made a decision and turned his head to face the remnants of Odd Grad.
｢I｣｢Daughter of Ham Ort｣｢Aadhai!｣｢Children of Od Grad｣｢Obey!｣｢Obey!｣ ｢Shah Belmag｣｢Great Aadhai｣｢Service｣ ｢Zerkapcha
｣
｢ “The Great Adhaj” “Service”
“Od Jiaga” “The Great Adhaj” “Island…”
Starting with Shah Belmag, all the Gallagons present bowed their heads to Adhaj. The appearance was similar to when Aadhai got drunk when he saw me in the past.
It was an attitude of worship towards the new queen.
–
“Second secondary objective vital response lost.”
“Confirmed that Special Objective A has been suppressed. “The battle with dangerous creature ‘Gallagon’ has ended.”
“It was confirmed that Special Objective A merged the ‘Gallagon’ group based on Winshi logic.”
“As a result of the battle simulation, if the battle continues in the current state, there is a 17% chance of subjugating Special Objective A.”
“Reporting status to main controller Pyrrha Eleven.”
A dark forest where little sunlight enters.
There were small lights there, twinkling like fireflies. However, such halos were by no means a natural phenomenon on this icy planet.
In the first place, hundreds of blood-red lights flashing and making unknown sounds cannot be a normal natural phenomenon.
“Main Controller Pyrrha Eleven’s modification order confirmed. “We will strike the enemy’s base preemptively.”
“The additional missions will remain as is. After hitting, some of the energy sources needed are collected.”
“check. “Command sharing requested.”
“check.”
As if something had been decided, the halo of light disappeared all at once. The sounds of speech that came out every time the light flashed also stopped.
Instead, a sharp metallic sound rang out and the bushes and trees began to shake.
A eerie and ominous movement taking place inside the forest.
It was a sight that could never be seen from the sky.
