I Became an Evolving Space Monster Chapter 232

Ep. 232

After the fight, Od Grad, no, the guys that were now Adhai’s group returned to their former nest. Their command was decided to be Nel Germa.

Ham Ort had not yet fully recovered from his injuries, so he returned to the cave nest I created with the Heavenly Mother. After treating his wounds there, he plans to gather Blue Gallagons and join Od Grad’s nest.

The rest of us are currently searching the forest near Twin Peaks. This is to collect Gallagons that fell during battle.

As I was looking for the body, PS-111 approached me.

Since PS-111 is interested in biological genes and energy supply, he did not go with Nel Germa but stayed here.

The snow banshee was caught in its clawed hands.

“As a result of analyzing combat, we found that body size has a significant correlation to combat. “Can I use this creature as an energy source to recondition my body?”

“Quick! “Geek!”

It looks like he was captured by PS-111 while coveting Gallagon’s body.

Not long after coming down to the forest, the symbolic effect of hunting ended. Even if I eat a Snow Banshee now, the probability of getting the genetic essence is low.

‘There won’t be any problem if I hand it over.’

[Zuzuzzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (leave only Gallagon’s body)]

“Confirmed.”

“Quick?!”

As soon as I gave permission, it swung its arm with sickle-shaped claws. Then, an invisible wind came out and slashed at the snow banshee.

Hot blood and intestines spilled onto the cold floor. An appetizing smell spread throughout the dry forest. He picked up the shredded corpse and ate it.

There isn’t really anything around here that could threaten him. I left behind the guy who was eating intently and moved into the forest.

｢Big baby, aren’t you hungry?｣

[Zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (I’m going to eat something else)]

Broken trees were seen some distance away from the twin peaks. Looking at the widely spread branches being broken, it was easy to see that it was a sign of a collision with something that had fallen from the sky.

And there was a black lump where the end of the broken branch pointed.

What looked like a meteorite from outside the planet was Od Grad’s body with his head blown off.

It wasn’t just the neck that was blown off. Due to the impact of hitting the ground, the wings were completely crumpled and the waist was bent into a bizarre shape.

These were the miserable words of a black dragon who was overconfident in his abilities and obsessed with the power of his leader.

“Are you a bad boss?”

[Zuzu (right)]

Black Gallagon’s meat is an excellent source of nutrition. Because it was able to obtain a large amount of energy just from its front paws and head.

‘Plus it tastes really good.’

The meat of Apex creatures all boasted a deep flavor that gave me pleasure. And Black Gallagon is the most powerful Apex I have ever eaten. The taste was also overwhelmingly excellent.

‘You don’t have to be thirsty for energy anymore…’

It is true that thanks to Berserker Synapse and Dragon’s Heart, energy supply and demand are more relaxed than before. But that doesn’t mean you have to avoid the opportunity to enjoy delicious cuisine.

｢Are you going to eat the intestines?｣

[Z(Yes)]

｢Eat it with pleasure.｣

I stopped while trying to tear the body apart. Because something suddenly occurred to me.

Number 26 riding on my head.

Now it has shrunk down to only 50cm in size, but originally it was almost 10m long. This is because in the past, it grew significantly as a result of absorbing the psychic power of the Adult Sea Demon.

‘Then wouldn’t eating Black Gallagon have a similar effect?’

In the game, Gallagons and Sea Demons have a reputation as advanced psychic creatures. Although they are very different in appearance, habitat, environment, and habits, they all use very powerful psychic power techniques.

Gallagons grow in nests that emit large amounts of psychic power and accumulate a large amount of energy in their bodies. On the other hand, the Sea Demon maintains and inherits the accumulated psychic power by transferring the power to other Sea Demons before the adult body dies.

‘The method is different, but it is the same in that it contains a large amount of psychic power.’

In fact, No. 26 once supplied psychic power to the Blue Gallagons. This time, the opposite is true: we use Gallagon’s corpse to give him strength.

I thrust my fighting arms into Black Gallagon’s stomach.

I can feel the warm intestines and flesh at my fingertips. They grabbed the guy’s heart and other major organs and pulled them out.

It is still warm and a delicious smell comes from the warm organ. I handed the food I had just taken out to number 26 above my head.

[Zuzu zuzu zuzuzuzu (Do you want to try this?)]

｢It’s food caught by a big baby.｣ [

Zuzuzu zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzu (I’m so full that I can’t eat it alone. It’s delicious, so try it)] No.

26 is It stretched its tentacles long and wrapped around the prey in my hand. Then, it stretched its body like a thinly rolled out dough and sucked in the food with its tentacles.

Soon, its body glowed with bright colors.

[Zuzu Zuzuzu (How do you think? Is it delicious?)]

｢Delicious!｣

[Zuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (There’s still a lot, so eat more)]

As soon as I gave permission, it got down from its head and started eating Od Grad’s body.

He was originally a good eater, but he seemed to really like Black Gallagon’s talent.

Not long after No. 26 started eating, a presence was felt from above.

It was Gallagon Adhai with four red wings. It came through an open gap in a branch and landed next to me.

｢Corpse｣｢Not far｣｢Soon｣｢Arriving｣

[Zuzuz zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzu (I’ll just eat this and go there)]

｢Confirm｣

[Zuzuzuzuz zuzu zuzu (It’s delicious, so you eat it too)]

｢Big Adult｣｢Prey｣

[Zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (We caught it together. We should share the loot)]

｢Is that so?｣

When I nodded, he also participated in the dinner. It climbed on top of the corpse, stuck its tentacles through the torn skin, and sucked and drank the blood.

‘Absolutely’ ‘Good’

The guy shook his neck as if impressed and drank the blood diligently. Like Gallagon, who cares for his compatriots but is ruthless to his enemies, Aadhai had no hesitation in eating Od Grad’s corpse.

‘It’s not something I, as Amorph, would say.’

I thought there wouldn’t be anything left to eat if it got any later, so I got ready to eat with them.

While I was wondering where to start eating, the half-left front leg caught my eye. That neatly cut cross section is the trace I made.

The ring that was on that front paw is currently being held tightly in my small hand near my chest.

I got down to the ground and tried to force the ring on, but there was no special effect. The ability to hide emotions was not activated at all.

It is unclear whether other conditions must be met to use it or whether it is exclusive to Od Grad. The ring I have now is just a gem ring with no effect.

‘Tsk.’

It was a truly bland ending for equipment that did not exist in the game. I’ve thought about throwing it away, but maybe there’s something I don’t know about. I decided to carry it with my small arms for the time being.

‘The ring is done. ‘Let’s eat now.’

I took my eyes off the front paws and grabbed the hind legs and tore them apart. And then I took a big bite.

‘Good.’

How can I explain the taste of Black Gallagon? It is a complex taste that is difficult to define in one word.

‘The flavor is like a mixture of truffle oil and pepper.’

I’ve tasted food with artificial truffle oil in the past, and it felt very similar to that experience. It felt like the sharp, spicy scent from the blood neutralized the greasy smell from the flesh.

Also, unlike other Apex, Black Gallagon’s meat has a unique part: the leather part.

The skin was crunchy, like the skin of grilled pork. The texture was fun, but the taste was even better. Because the deep flavor that further concentrated the taste of the meat leaked out.

The meat itself was quite tough, but it was definitely not enough to put a strain on Aimov’s jaw. Rather, I was able to enjoy the rich taste of the meat because I was able to chew it properly.

‘This time too, the formula that the stronger the enemy, the tastier it is, has been maintained.’

I quickly finished off its hind legs and reached out for its tail.

“Are you eating?”

I was about to grab the tail and rip it off when I heard a voice behind me.

When I turned around, it was PS-111. While we were eating, there was a white Gallagon corpse lying next to it, as if they had collected the corpses.

[Zuzuzu zuzuzu (You brought the body)]

“Yes.”

The guy looked at me with his characteristic expressionless face.

Or, to be more precise, I was looking at my hands tightly gripping Black Gallagon’s tail.

Screamer is controlled by a mechanical device connected to the brain. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that all physical activities are under the control of machines. This also applies to mutant screamers.

But at this moment, I knew what he wanted.

I used my strength to tear off the tail and held it out to him.

“it’s okay.”

[Zuzu zuzu (eat when given)]

“Thank you.”

He was the kind of guy who wouldn’t say no twice because he was afraid that someone might call him a machine.

After a short dinner, I went to the place Aadhai told me and retrieved the bodies.

Since I couldn’t take everything with me, I disposed of everything except 4 at this location. These four bodies will be used for treatment by Ham Ort and as food for the Gallagons.

Since I was big, I decided to hold 3 balls and No. 26 returned to his original body and picked up 1 ball. After finishing the hunt and carrying the loot we had secured, we set off for the cave nest.

‘It seems like things have changed.’

The appearance of No. 26, with its inflated body, did not change much from before. The fins reminiscent of jellyfish and the tentacles protruding from various parts of the body were all familiar.

‘Has your body gotten bigger?’

No. 26 can freely adjust its body size. Therefore, it was not easy to notice the change.

It would be most accurate to check the amount of energy contained in the body, but No. 26 is good at hiding its psychic power. You won’t know how strong he has become until he enters battle.

‘Well, it may not have grown, so let’s not worry too much about it.’

There are still a few things left to try. For example, a dragon’s nest where psychic power is constantly gushing out.

As I was returning to the nest, thinking about this and that, my auxiliary organ caught a scent.

‘huh?’

The smell was similar to fresh blood, but slightly different. Rather, I would say it is closer to the smell of iron. Although its identity was unknown, it was a vaguely familiar smell.

I stopped in place.

“Big baby, what’s wrong?”

“What’s going on?”

[Zuzu (quiet)]

I lowered my head and put it close to the ground. I thought it was the smell of metal embedded in the ground, but it didn’t seem like it.

While checking the smell, my eyes landed on PS-111. Screamer’s unique biomechanical body, a mixture of metal and organic matter, gave off a metallic smell and the smell of chemicals used to sustain life.

It was quite similar to this smell detected by the auxiliary organ.

[Zuzuzu zuzuzu zzuzuzu zzuzuzu (Is this area also within Screamer’s range of activity?)]

“It wasn’t until my main controller was changed.”

I have been to the surrounding forest leading to the Twin Peaks several times. If there was a screamer, we would have encountered it a long time ago.

[Zuzzuzu zuzuzu zu zuzuzu (I smell a screamer. Check it out)]

“I understand.”

Sensing equipment reminiscent of a snail’s antennae protruded from PS-111’s eyes. He lowered himself to the ground and used a hose-type sensing device to trace the traces left on the floor.

Not long after, he found footprints on the floor.

Three claw marks reminiscent of a bird’s feet.

It was the traces of a screamer.
