I Became an Evolving Space Monster Chapter 427

–

The appearances of the beings that crawled out of the pit were diverse.

Some were of dirty homeless people, while others were of common citizens.

They all have different clothes and body types, but if there is one thing they have in common, it is that they take on the shape of an ordinary human being.

But no one here thought it was a person.

“Holy shit! “Get these bastards away!”

Dozens of ‘things’ covered Monster Walker.

Walker tried his best to dislodge his enemies. The plasma cutter mounted on the arm cut off the torso of ‘them’, and the heavy legs kicked away the remains. The alloy armor was dirty with shattered pieces of meat.

If it were a normal human being, that would have neutralized it, but not ‘those’. Each time the body was split and crushed, a group of black worms popped out from within. Large numbers of worms burrowed into crevices throughout the walker’s body.

Monster Walkers are protected by thick armor, but their entire bodies are not completely protected. Since it is a moving weapon, there are bound to be gaps in areas such as joints. As countless worms stuck to his joints, Walker’s movements became increasingly sluggish.

“You bastards! Get out!”
“There are enemies everywhere!”

The movement of the walkers gradually became slower, but the number of enemies did not decrease. Rather, the number of ‘things’ emitted by the pit increased.

“Damn it! “When will it end?!”

Even ‘those’ weren’t the only enemies the walkers faced.

｢I’m going to burn these damn bastards… Ugh!｣
｢Crazy! “Everyone be careful!”

A green heat ray suddenly flew in and struck the walker who was tied up by ‘them’. The giant, hit by a heat ray in the location where the cockpit was located, stumbled and fell. The enemy who shot down Walker fled into the building.

Other pilots who saw this were embarrassed. This is because the person who fired the launcher was wearing a reinforced suit provided by Shino Group.

“Isn’t that a launcher?”
“That bastard is on our side?!” Why are you attacking us?”
“Commander, what should we do!” If we keep going like this…”
“….”

Amid the chaos of communications, Sutherland’s message came to Shinobu.

The situation has already gone beyond what Sutherland can do. Nothing can be done until the head gives permission.

However, Shinobu did not respond and turned off Sutherland’s communication.

He is currently discussing with the Fisces Twelve, something more important than the Scarecrow.

“…It’s Amov’s doing.”
｢Fiskes Twelve. I ask. Are you referring to the entity that the Megacorp/Star Union mixed fleet tried to subdue last time?”
“Yes. “There is only one person who would do something like this.”
“question. It was observed that ‘Aimorph’ does not possess such advanced hacking skills.”
“I heard there is a Screamer among those baby pets? “You must have ordered it from him.”
“Even improved Screamers don’t have that kind of ability…”
“Chikushio! (Damn it!) I guess that’s fine! “Since Amorph is here, we must run away now!”

Shinobu knows her limitations well.

Even Akira Yujin, who was supported by a large fleet, could not compete with him, and there was no way he would win.

Moreover, this place has been Eimorph’s nest for a long time. You can tell by looking at the ‘hiveformers’, those monsters that attack walkers.

If we fight like this, defeat is a foregone conclusion. The best course of action in this situation is to run away.

“Prepare for orbital bombing right now. “In the meantime, I’ll get out of here.”
｢What should we do with Prometheus V2?｣
“…Tch, it’s a shame, but I have to give up now.”

Shinobu hesitated for a moment before answering Pisces’ question.

There are only two of those weapons in Star Union. The other is used only for defense against Jaxx-01, so it can be said that there is only one weapon that can be practically used.

I don’t like having to leave such a precious item behind, but I can’t help it.

“If it were him, he would definitely use it as bait. “If you get caught up in it, it’s over.”

This has happened more than once in the game as well. You can’t suffer the same thing here.

“And as you know, Aimov cannot use that weapon. “It’s not too late to catch him and retrieve him.”

Unlike the regular version, Prometheus V2 can only be operated with ‘special materials’. And that material can never be obtained by Aimorph.

“It is a reasonable judgment.”

Fiskes seemed to have thought the same thing and immediately agreed.

“We will prepare bombing according to your opinion. “Leave the area within 10 minutes.”
“10 minutes? okay.”

With that, communication ended.

‘I guess I can buy some time with this.’

There is something to do during that time.

Just use the perk.

Shinobu operated the communication device that had been turned off for a while.

“Listen everyone. “I will lead from now on, so obey.”
｢Huh?｣
｢Who are you just now?｣
｢Um, that’s the commander! “Everyone follow his orders!”
“Those who can hear my voice, switch the communication system to a ship line.”

Now that Aimorph has taken control of the communication satellite, using the general communication network is dangerous. Shinobu, who took steps to prevent information from being leaked, continued to issue orders.

“The fleet in orbit will bombard this place in 10 minutes, so we need to get out before then.”
“Hours, 10 minutes?! All right!”

The pirates, who knew how scary orbital bombing was, moved quickly. They slowly retreated, supporting the approaching enemy with plasma throwers.

But something was strange. The number of walkers who fell to the rear was less than half. The other walkers stayed there and fought ‘them’ as if they had not received any orders.

“They’re trying to buy time for us. never mind.”
｢Ah, yep!｣

They were bait. A bait to buy time for Shinobu and a small number of walkers to escape. Therefore, no separate communication was sent to them.

The retreating pirates also noticed the intention but said nothing.

However, there is something that the Walker pilots who safely retreated do not know.

‘There were 7 walkers who escaped, excluding me. Since we left out only the talented ones, it would be good to use them as a shield.’

Shinobu ran out of the harbor with seven walkers to use as shields.

From the shaking cockpit, he carefully removed a small ampoule.

This ampoule containing golden liquid is of enormous value. It was enough to buy hundreds of planets he was on.

Shinobu, who knew its value better than anyone else, poured the contents into her mouth without hesitation.

As the liquid passed through my throat, I immediately felt my body change. It was a signal that the special privilege had been activated.

‘it’s okay.’

Although it looked the same as before drinking the ampoule, he could tell.

This means that the entire body has become a kind of biological signal.

In fact, his perks are not suitable for combat. However, it is not helpful for survival, and the conditions for use are very strict.

However, if the conditions are met, it exerts tremendous power. The reason the ruling faction’s rankers supported him was because of the potential of the special.

‘Aimov. ‘I’ll pay you back for what you did.’

In the game, when Eimorph fights against multiple enemies, he often forces them to fight against each other.

This time, it’s his turn to suffer.

Just as I imagined revenge and smiled wickedly, something appeared in front of the running walker.

At the harbor border, a monster that looked like a white will-o-the-wisp blocked them.

And behind them stood an enormous number of Hiveformers.

｢Choi, Commander!｣
“…Tsk, everyone, get ready.”

As Shinobu’s walker pulled out the dual swords mounted on his back, the other walkers also took out their own weapons.

｢■■■■■■!｣

The white wisp, or rather Amorph, saw that and roared.

The hiveformer army began to move in accordance with the roar.

–

After terminating communication with Shinobu, Fiskes immediately began preparations for the bombing.

There are a total of 17 ships floating in orbit without landing. Among these, there are five ships with enough firepower to bomb a planet.

These alone cannot eliminate Amorph. According to observations made by the Supreme Council, Amov survived the explosion of a PMB (Particle Manipulation Bomb). It is difficult to cause significant damage through artillery fire from ordinary ships.

Of course, the XAX02 class battleship managed by Fiskes is loaded with various types of bombs, including PMB. These are all brought to hunt Arcane Orca.

But I can’t write it here and now. If that happens, Shinobu will turn into dust.

Shinobu on the ground must also be well aware of that fact. Instead of PMB, he requested an orbital bombardment that would not do much damage to Aimov.

That means there is a different intention.

“Orbital bombing is a means to distract Aimov. “It is understood that the intention is to prepare counterattack measures in the meantime.”

She doesn’t even know what the means of counterattacking are. There was one part that made me guess.

Until now, Shinobu had never once missed a creature she had designated as a hunting target. Hunting targets always went according to his plan. It’s as if we’re being guided by an unobserved, intangible force.

If he truly has the power to call wild animals, now is his chance. You will be able to summon Arcane Orca and fight Aimorph.

In any case, Shinobu’s intentions will be revealed after the orbital bombardment is carried out.

Fisces spread his consciousness through the communications network to take control of the remaining fleet in orbit.

“hmm?”

When I was trying to remotely control the computers of other ships, an unfamiliar signal was picked up. On 4 of the 17 ships, someone was attempting remote access like Fiskes.

The Screamer who came with Aimorph dared to hack in front of her.

“….”

If Fisces were human, he would have laughed.

She is Star Union’s technological singularity and the highest council member who represents the wishes of numerous androids and cyborgs.

How dare you attempt such a prank in front of such a being? Fiskes decided to eliminate the screamer immediately.

Her consciousness, trapped in a machine’s body, spreads across a wide communication network. The virtual space built with circuits and machine language was gradually being encroached upon by a single will.

A mysterious signal that tried to take control of the four ships resists. The signal was attempted to be defended by creating a security program consisting of encrypted code.

Even Fiskes had no idea that the enemy would create such a high-level program in such a short period of time.

But it doesn’t matter. Fiskes is the highest member who specializes in collecting and organizing information. To her, information warfare was as easy as breathing for humans.

She quickly figured out the structure of the opponent’s security program, modified it arbitrarily, and took control of it.

The opponent tried to respond by creating a new security program, but she first built a firewall that could nullify the opponent’s intrusion.

One ship, two ships, the ships controlled by the opponent quickly returned to Pisces’ hands.

There is now only one ship left.

The enemy must have realized that hacking was no match for them, so they revised their strategy. By attacking the XAX02 class battleship on board Fiskes with the last remaining destroyer.

Fiskes remained unfazed and gradually regained control of the destroyer. Eventually, the destroyer, having lost all control of the ship, stopped near the battleship.

Now that the fleet has been recovered, all that remains is to eliminate the means the enemy used to hack.

The communication satellite that manages the system’s communication network is currently controlled by Screamer. If we leave that satellite alone, we don’t know what variables will arise.

While preparing for an orbital bombardment, Fiskes simultaneously attempted to hack into a communications satellite.

The satellite’s firewall was very strong, but it was useless against her. The security system that the opponent seemed to have prepared for a long time was destroyed in a matter of minutes.

And the last trap remained in front of her. It was a code encrypted in a different way than before.

Even encryption codes created in hundreds or thousands of ways cannot stop her. Fiskes quickly cracked the code.

“hmm?”

The decoded code was not a program but a message.

“The best way to king is to use physical force? “What is this…”

At that moment, her body in reality detected some movement. An intruder entered her room where no one was supposed to be.

“?!”

She quickly returns to reality and sees a large blade in front of her. She quickly raised her arms.

When her arm collided with the rush of blades, strong sparks flew out. Beyond the flames, a mechanical weapon was seen combining the head of a human woman and the body of a large spider.

“That’s correct.”

The red-eyed Screamer, the enemy who had been bothering Fiskes until now, spoke softly.

“Watch next episode”
