「I can fluffy too!」
「Slow」「Me」「Much」「Fast」
「If I study, I too will become fluffy quickly.」
No. 26’s acquisition of the ability to fly was a completely unexpected change. It swam smoothly as if the hangar was an ocean.
“Isn’t it amazing? Isn’t it amazing?」
[Zuzuzuzu (Amazing)]
As I admired him, his body lit up as if he was in a good mood. The arm-shaped tentacles frequently changed shape depending on the owner’s mood. It becomes the shape of a hand, then into the saw blade tentacles it was before, and so on. Each tentacle transformed at a very fast rate.
‘That seems like a new ability.’
Originally, there were tentacles responsible for mutation, but not all tentacles could be changed like now. The speed of transformation also increased dramatically, to the point where the shape could change rapidly according to the flow of emotions.
‘The ability to transform and fly all tentacles.’
At first glance, it may not seem very helpful, but in fact, it is not. Number 26 is the least mobile among us, but that weakness has been compensated for. The ability to change the shape of the tentacles also has potential.
「Me too!」「Me too」「I’ll show you」
[Z(Yes)]
When I nodded, it spread its wings. Aadhai takes flight with his chubby body. It was quite cute, but the guy’s attitude was so serious that I didn’t laugh.
“Open”
“Yes.”
Number 26, who was leisurely floating inside the hangar, lightly touched the switch next to the door. Aadhai nodded at me and walked out of the gigacracker.
‘What are you trying to show me?’
Has this guy’s flight ability been enhanced, similar to No. 26? Or have I gained a new kind of power?
I followed him out into space.
A pantheon of stars spread out like a vast ocean. In the center, a rose-colored nebula burns like a bonfire.
Under the stars, Adhai stood on a giga cracker.
「Star Power」「I got it」
[Zuzu (Really?)]
「Previous」「Cannot be used」「But」「Now」「It is possible」「I’ll show you」
The guy who said that concentrated with his wings spread. The white scales with red patterns turned red like when using red armor.
‘Has the Red Armor range increased… huh?’
The red color of the wings and patterns gradually changes. The light, a mixture of red and purple, reminded me of the color of the nebula observing us from afar.
‘Dark purple light, and…’
I have felt this flow of energy before, making my auxiliary organs and my whole body tense.
Od Grad, an evil tyrant who oppressed A’dhai’s compatriots in the past and was A’dhai’s father.
It was very similar to the last attack he made before he died.
‘Star Flame!’
Adhai lifted his head upward as if to confirm that my prediction was correct. The chubby guy’s body suddenly became thin, and an energy sphere was launched from the tentacle in its mouth.
The purple sphere continued to fly without stopping. In the direction the sphere was facing, there was a group of rocks floating in space.
The moment the small sphere launched by Aadhai collided with a group of rocks, an intense flash of light flashed. A huge explosion swept through the rock swarm like a shining sun. Rocks ranging from as small as tens of meters to as large as several kilometers were swallowed up by the purple energy explosion.
After the light went out, all that remained was a very small amount of rock fragments.
It was so destructive that it was hard to believe it was created by a sphere smaller than the guy’s head. For now, we shot it at a group of rocks as a test, but if we shot it at a dwarf planet with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, we would get similar results.
‘The power itself is the same as the Star Flame I know.’
Red Gallagon’s ‘Star Flame’ has about 0.8 times the power of Gigacracker’s Ion Cannon. You might think it looks weaker than a super weapon, but that’s definitely not the case.
‘Because they become speakers.’
Unlike the Cosmic Bolt, which takes a long time to charge, and the Ion Cannon, which charges quickly but requires a long rest period after firing once, Star Flame has no limitations.
The only drawback is that the brilliance of the heat ray is so clear that it can be seen even from a distance.
‘The problem is that Aadhai’s Star Flame is in the form of a sphere.’
Moreover, its size is as small as a small gym ball used when exercising. In that case, it would be nearly impossible to avoid even ships equipped with cutting-edge detection capabilities.
‘I don’t know if it’s like that because it ate Vortex One, or because it’s a mutation.’
Perhaps the former merely served as a kind of awakening opportunity, and the latter may be correct. The psychic breath it uses is not in the form of a purple heat ray, but in the form of small energy bullets.
「Big adult」「Strength」「Similar?」
[zu zuzu zuzuzu (I think I’m stronger)]
「Really?」「Really?」
[zu zuzuzu (yes, you did well)]
The guy who heard my praise started jumping around on the outer wall of Giga Cracker. My once plump stomach had suddenly become slender.
‘…Is energy consumption the problem instead?’
If you lose weight just by shooting it once, you won’t be able to use it anytime like Red Gallagon in the game. To be precise, the continuous shooting itself is possible, but its power will be significantly reduced.
‘I have to see it as a secret trick.’
In fact, it is a very big benefit since you are carrying a small gigacracker with you.
‘Everyone gained a lot from hunting Vortex One.’
Now, if PS-111 succeeds in safely transferring Isabelle to a new body, all the goals I have planned will be achieved.
[Zuzzuzuzu(Then shall we go back)]
「I」「Big Adult」「Together」「Flying Game」
[Zuzuzuz(Flying Game?)]
Aadhai came running next to me. I think you want to spend some time flying with me.
‘I think PS-111 will need more time.’
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to fly around Giga Cracker with him to help digest the food.
“Why are you two playing alone?”
At that time, number 26 came out of the hangar. It swam through the weightless space, flapping its fins and tentacles.
「Little adult」「Food」「Storage」「Storage」「Don’t you?」
「The little one will eat it too, so do it together.」
「I」「Busy」
「Storage is more important than play.」
「No.」「Play」「 “More” “It’s important”
[zuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (let’s both stay together and then go in)]
“Okay.”
“This is” “It’s not it.”
Aadhai didn’t seem to like the size 26. However, to make No. 26, which is not yet familiar with it, fly as desired, you must practice consistently.
‘You won’t like it because Aadhai is so fast.’
Here, it is right to consider No. 26.
[Zuzuzuz (I’ll help you)]
「Good!」
「Wait」「Me」「More」「Teach me well」
「I’ll learn from the big baby.」
「Me」「Flight」「Skill」「Excellent」「Me」「Study 」「Teach me well」
[zuzu zuzuzu (that’s right)]
「This way」「Fly」
「Yes.」
「Pain!」「Why」「Hit me?」
「It’s a mistake.」
So, after enjoying the flight under the pretense of practice for a while, we returned to the hangar.
“Are you here?”
As soon as I entered the hangar, a familiar voice greeted me.
‘Finally successful… huh?’
When I looked at PS-111, I was taken aback for the first time since I saw the changes in the kids.
His impression was very different from what I saw before I fell asleep. Until yesterday, the metal shell was filled with muscle and flesh, giving the legs and torso some volume, but now that wasn’t the case.
Like other mutant screamers, its body was so thin that its metal skeleton was exposed. It was as if almost all of the flesh inside the body had been removed.
But the reason I was really embarrassed wasn’t just because of his condition.
“I ended up using more than planned during the experiment. sorry.”
The guy was holding a ‘lump’ with a familiar face with his claws.
“sorry. Help me. I won’t do that again. Please kill me instead. Please don’t cut that part….”
The identity of the mass was Alshas, with only the head and part of the upper body remaining.
The guy, who had life support devices connected to every part of his body, was unconscious and kept mumbling apologies.
“I thought you told me to leave the hair on?”
“The head was not touched.”
“okay? “But why is it in that state?”
“I was shocked to see the body being mutilated. “We’ve given you the right amount of tranquilizer, so you’ll be fine soon.”
Among us, he is smarter than anyone else when it comes to genetic manipulation and biotechnology. Besides, there’s no way a guy whose brain was half a computer wouldn’t have known Alshas would react like this.
‘Half experiment, half revenge?’
PS-111 did not remember Isabelle, but she seemed to care for her quite a bit. Perhaps it is a reflection of the unconsciousness of its true original, 18th ranked Penelope.
In that case, it is understandable that Alshas was made like that. This guy is the enemy who enslaved Isabel, who could be said to be his younger sister, and caused her death.
‘It’s a little different than I thought, but I still saved it.’
It’s a strange situation where a promise is neither broken nor kept, but I don’t want to scold him for this. Since I was the one who handed Isabel over to that guy in the first place, I guess I have some responsibility as well.
Moreover, it is not very important what Alshas thinks or what pain he has suffered. One way or another, the process is different, but it’s going to go into my stomach.
‘If he comes back to his senses, we’ll interrogate him. If not, we’ll just eat him and turn him into a human being.’
I decided in my mind what to do with the guy and looked back at PS-111.
“Seeing as you returned Alshas, I guess Isabelle is complete?”
“Yes, but.”
“huh?”
The red camera lens wandered in the air and was tilted to the side.
“what’s the matter? Did you really fail?”
“The body is complete, and the brain transplant surgery was successful.”
“however?”
“….”
“Is something wrong?”
Even though I kept asking, he didn’t open his mouth. The camera lens that replaced the eye kept blinking.
‘Is this your first time seeing such an attitude?’
Since its face is originally covered with metal skin, it is difficult to read its emotions. But not like today.
The guy is very anxious.
“Don’t worry if you run into trouble. “We will help you.”
The guy who stayed silent for a long time finally opened his mouth.
“‘Little brother’ is refusing to wake up for unknown reasons.”
“refusal?”
“yes. “The adaptation test, immune response check, and reception of vital signs were all confirmed to be normal. As a result of this, there was an 88% probability that my younger brother chose to fall asleep on his own.”
Isabelle sleeps in her new body and does not wake up.
Something happened that I never expected.
