I Became an Evolving Space Monster Chapter 296

Episode 296 – Rest (3)

The day after I hunted Giganterium, I left the nest alone.

Ham Ort said he didn’t really need me on any other hunts. It is said that Aadhai’s skills are at a level that will allow his compatriots to return safely.

Adhaj leads the group out hunting, and No. 26 is busy playing with the young cubs.

I didn’t know about them because they weren’t specifically described in the game, but I was quite curious about the Blue Gallagons. Except when I was consuming energy or sleeping, I kept wandering around looking for new interests. It would be okay if you only wandered around the cave inside the canyon, but it was a problem because some people tried to come out.

Between the canyons flows an acidic river boiling due to geothermal heat. Unlike white or green gallagons, blue gallagons have weak scales, so they can suffer serious injuries if they fall into the water.

Because of this, the Gallagons in charge of childcare were having a hard time taking care of the playful pups, but it is said that the arrival of No. 26 put them at ease.

He used his newly acquired mutant tentacles to satisfy the curiosity of the Blue Gallagons. Dozens of tentacles constantly transform into new types of toys, so even young Gallagons are bound to be satisfied.

‘As a bonus, it also supplies psychic power.’

Adhai No. 26 Since both of us are busy, I am going to go to PS-111 by myself today.

After getting out of the canyon, I flew in the opposite direction from where I came yesterday. Below, plants resembling oyster mushrooms tens of meters in size were visible.

I adjusted the position of my wing arms to lower my altitude and used my fighting arms to tear off the end of a strange-looking plant. And then he poured the crushed lump into the center’s mouth.

‘hmm.’

It looks like a mushroom, but the taste is completely different.

To put it specifically, it feels like eating fruit mixed with almond milk and soy milk. The taste itself is not bad, but the texture is poor because it is too watery.

‘But it’s still rich in nutrients.’

I’ve seen gallagons feed their babies this plant in addition to their psychic powers, and I understand why.

The environment here is very different from where they stayed, so it is not easy to raise the chicks properly. Fortunately, there is plenty of nutritious food around, so it is unlikely that any chicks will have difficulty growing.

‘I hope they like this taste.’

After tasting the oyster mushrooms that tasted like almond milk, I used my fighting arms and legs to tear off handfuls of other plants around me. It moved leisurely, showing the two heads on either side a taste.

As it moved so slowly, at some point frost began to form on its wing membranes and carapace. Looking down, there were fewer and fewer living plants, and icicles bigger than me were hanging from the ice ceiling.

Unlike other areas, the ice layer around here is thin. The reason is related to the artificial structure visible in the distance.

A broken tower rises from the frozen, lifeless land.

The identity of that structure, which is tilted like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, is a Screamer support ship obtained after defeating Pyrrha Eleven. This is what happened when I crash-landed on this planet after fighting the Gorgon Swarm. The rear part is completely destroyed, and holes so large that they cannot be repaired can be seen throughout the exterior walls.

The support ship, which had completely lost its function, was shining on its own as its owner came to visit after a long time.

I went into the open aft section. When I went inside, the lights that were still intact flickered. It looked as if it was welcoming me into the room.

‘He probably already knows.’

Immediately after the battle with the Gorgon Swarm, PS-111 converted this damaged support ship into a kind of communications relay. So that when we get new ships or mechanical structures in the future, we can manage them effectively.

In the end, his judgment was correct. Gigacracker, which cannot land on a planet, stays in orbit around the planet by remote control. Otherwise, he would have had to remain in space to manage Gigacracker.

I folded my wing arms, lowered myself, and crawled inside the tilted structure. I went downstairs, thinking I was in the situation room, but the light cut off midway.

‘Isn’t it the situation room?’

The passage below was completely dark. I checked the information board for the location just before the lights went out.

‘It’s a production compartment.’

Now that I think about it, this place where I am is near the storage area where the genetic samples and frozen containers were. My guess is that this is where screamers are made using materials stored in storage.

‘Are you trying to modify your body again?’

There are no more genetic samples left on this ship.

‘Let’s go first.’

After crawling down a little further, I grabbed the half-open iron door with my wing arm and opened it. As I went inside, leaving the falling ice cubes behind, I was greeted by an unstable blinking light.

The atmosphere inside the production room was very gloomy.

All of the plywood on the ceiling and walls had been peeled off, exposing steel frames and pipes, and frozen wires were tangled in a mess on the floor.

In that bizarre space, production facilities that had been restored in a somewhat clumsy manner were moving around. The noise made by the steel meeting each other and the sparks flying from the joints connected to the pipes made this place even more eerie.

There was a guy in the middle of a space that looked like a mad scientist’s laboratory.

Its body, which resembles a spider scorpion and is 7 meters long (excluding its tail) and covered in a hard metal carapace, exudes quite a sense of intimidation.

Additionally, eight legs extend from the body. At the end of it were various weapons.

Some hands looked like human hands with only the fingers replaced with hooks, and some arms had long blades resembling machetes instead of hands. All of the arms had thorns measuring tens of centimeters protruding from them.

It had a body that seemed to specialize solely in cutting, tearing, and destroying living things, but ironically, its face was completely different.

The head on top of the large body was the pale, chrome face of a woman. The cables hanging down like hair and the four cable strands under the bright red eyes and chin are a bit strange, but they look attractive enough.

The beautiful woman’s face turned 180 degrees to face me.

“Are you here?”

PS-111, with cables connected to its neck and back, looked at me and greeted me.

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (I thought it was being remodeled?)]

“No. “I came here for an experiment.”

[Zuzu (experiment?)]

I approached him, being careful not to step on the wires and cables lying on the floor. In front of him was a being that he seemed to have seen many times before.

‘This?’

“This is a remote control model. “I made it based on ingredients obtained from Giga Cracker and indigenous creatures living in the area.”

The guy who sensed my question answered it on his own. I thought I came here to modify my body, but I was wrong. This guy was building the Screamer’s body based on the Screamer production drawings on the ship’s computer.

‘Besides, this…’

It looked very different from the screamers I had encountered. Rather, it feels similar to the early PS-111. Only the face and body parts are made, but when everything is completed, it will look very similar to this guy.

[Zuzuzuzuzuzu (remote control model?)]

“Yes. “If I had a body I could control remotely, I would be able to do more than I can now.”

After speaking, the guy lowered his head towards the Screamer body.

PS-111 brought his head close as if he was about to kiss a face that looked exactly like his. The cable under the chin moved on its own toward the cable in Screamer’s body.

A small spark flew as its cable connected to the cable of Screamer’s body. Screamer’s body trembled as if it had been hit by an electric shock.

When PS-111 hit its head, the Screamer’s body opened its eyes. The red camera lens that served as the eye blinked a few times and then turned towards me.

“How do you feel about the coordination being completed?”

“Coordination complete. How is it?”

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzuzuzuzu (They made this so quickly?)]

“This is thanks to reverse engineering my body structure and cloning my cellular tissue. “I believe that if we have the appropriate equipment and time, we can further improve the level of completion here.”

Although he spoke humbly, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

Screamer development itself is a long-term project that takes several weeks or more, even for games. This is reality, so it will take several months, even years.

Even if such a Screamer was an unfinished replica, the fact that it was created in such a bad environment was amazing.

[Zuzzu zuzu zu zuzu zuzu (I don’t think I have an ego)]

“Yes. Because the ability to carry out independent operations is unnecessary, the ability to think independently is not given. “It only works with the electrical signals I send.”

“There is no need to carry out independent operations.”

[Zuzu Zuzuzu Zuzu Zuzuzuzu (

I guess that’s because it’s a remote control model)] It looks like a Screamer, close to a terminal that only moves when under its control. Since it says the same thing as the main body, it appears to only function when synchronized with its mind.

Of course, it is still difficult to call it a screamer, but it is still a prototype. As time passes, there may be many screamers with performance comparable to the PS-111.

[Zuzuzuzu Zuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu (Amazing. So, is this complete?)]

“It will take more time to complete.”

“Wow, until it’s finished? It takes hours and hours and more.”

[Zuzuzuzu (also great)]

“No.”

“Oh no, that’s right! Thanks for the compliment! You are so nice….”

“Check for error in voice synchronization module. “There needs to be more coordination.”

The guy suddenly went into tune again towards the runaway clone. Mechanical arms located throughout the production room moved according to the owner’s will and began to modify the body of the ‘remote control model’.

As I watched it, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

‘Double Helix Monolith’, a space monster type level 2 reward.

This is a perk that allows you to transplant up to two general characteristics, excluding unique characteristics, to a friendly creature.

Since receiving the perk, I haven’t been able to test how it works. That’s because I don’t know what side effects there might be.

But what about the screamer he made?

Wouldn’t it be an appropriate test subject?

‘not bad.’

Since this is a screamer designed and managed by PS-111, you will easily be able to see how the characteristics I have given it work. Even if side effects occur, it can be discarded, so the risk is low.

‘It would be a waste to lose one trait.’

Still, it’s better than having other kids suffer.

After organizing my thoughts, I spoke to PS-111.

There is one thing I want to experiment with.
