I Became an Evolving Space Monster Chapter 63

Ep. 63

–

“Damn it! Peter! Charlie!”

Vice-Captain Vickers of the Silver Lion Knights continued to try to contact him.

But the only sound coming from the communicator was ominous static.

The last communication left to him by Peter.

Peter said his colleagues Milburn and Fifield had already suffered. After that, neither Peter nor Charlie heard from me.

This pointed to only one fact.

That they were all wiped out.

‘I can’t do this. We must dispatch a Templar and report to His Majesty.’

Vickers quickly summoned the waiting knights.

Excluding the troops who must guard Denver and the members dispatched to investigate the security, the total number of troops he can immediately operate is 20.

Armed knights entered the spacious guest room provided to the vice-captain one after another.

Since it was free time, they were all taking off their helmets.

Although they were a mix of all races and genders, including white women with reddish-blonde hair, yellow men with black hair, and black men with skinheads, they all had one thing in common.

The point was that they were all handsome men and women, and boasted a huge height that was 1.5 times that of an average adult man.

The Knights of the Silver Lion were able to maintain their outstanding beauty and height because all of them underwent genetic improvement under Denver’s instructions. People say that Denver values its image, but Vickers knows the truth.

That they are nothing more than a by-product of the Hulk Mutant Project.

“Did you call the vice-captain?”

“Um, are you here?”

The skinhead black man in front bowed his head politely in front of Vickers. Vickers came out of his thoughts and explained the situation to them.

“The situation is serious. “I can’t reach the people who went to protect the police under His Majesty’s orders.”

“yes?”

“We sent Charlie Peter Milburn Fifield to the hospital. “No one is responding since the last call from Peter was 5 minutes ago.”

“….”

Everyone here knows well the level of power of the Silver Lion Knights. Therefore, the fact that four of them were killed in action was something that could never be ignored.

“So, I will report it to Your Majesty right away. “Jacob, I ask you to lead them on my behalf.”

“I will do my best.”

“…I can’t believe something like this happened right before the board meeting.”

After sending the knights to the hospital, Vickers hurried to the banquet hall.

‘Your Majesty wants Saddam Chamberlain to become CEO, but this has happened.’

Vickers is Denver’s closest associate, so he knows what he’s after.

Before coming to this city, Denver met with Saddam in advance to discuss how the board meeting would proceed. During the discussion, Saddam expressed that he had high expectations for his daughter Laila, and Denver also read Saddam’s intentions.

I don’t know what Lila would think, but Denver didn’t have any ill feelings toward her. So he made a lot of preparations to help her before coming here.

All preparations were completed, so all that remained was for the board meeting to proceed safely, but this major accident occurred.

‘It is important to know who killed the Knights Templar at the hospital, but more important than that…’

is the fact that an attendant of Prime Capital died at Noble Capital’s territory.

There is no way Saddam’s competitors would pass up such a good meal. If you just move on from here, things will definitely come out.

They say that TNC and Edgerton are having an argument before electing the CEO.

It is true that all kinds of conspiracies and secret agreements run rampant during the CEO voting process, but these issues have never surfaced.

Officially, Megacorp is an organization that selects its CEO through democratic procedures, and there should be no corruption in the process.

If this is caught, it is natural that Saddam will be excluded from being a CEO candidate, and in extreme cases, it may even be said that the T&C family’s Noble Capital qualifications should be revoked.

‘But it’s also problematic that Your Majesty is taking such a hard line.’

If Denver deliberately pretends to criticize T&C, that is also a problem.

Among the elders of the Edgerton family, most are unaware of the affair between TNC and Edgerton.

It was obvious that they, who knew nothing, would abandon Mr. TNC, who was not good at managing security, and choose another candidate.

In that case, T&C’s financial support would have to be seen as being in vain.

‘How should I do this…’ As

he was almost running, he saw the door of the banquet hall in the distance in front of him. At the door, a woman was being inspected by a security guard to enter.

She is Lila’s secretary. Vickers was also someone I knew well.

When I looked up close, I saw that her complexion had turned pale.

She probably came here for the same reason.

‘Lady also with this problem?’

‘Vice-captain too?’

The two only exchanged glances, but they could immediately tell what each other was thinking.

It seemed like tonight’s soiree would be long.

–

The being that bothered me is dead.

I judged him competent and kept him alive, but in the end, the gain and loss were 50%.

‘I never thought I would risk my life even though it is reality. I’ll have to be careful in the future.’

Maybe I overlooked human will too much. I think I’ll have to use it with caution until I get the infection-enhanced type.

‘Let’s destroy the central AI computer and go out.’

The remaining time is running out, but it is necessary. I went down to the basement carrying him, who had been cut in two.

As I went down the emergency stairs, I tasted the upper body first.

‘Should I have eaten sooner?’

Maybe it was because they were harassing me, but the taste wasn’t very good. It was originally good quality meat, but it felt like it had become slightly stale due to being stored in the refrigerator incorrectly.

While eating, a parasite hurriedly came out of the corpse’s nostrils as if asking not to be eaten. He went back to his house on my arm.

With one leg left, I was able to arrive in front of the server room where the main computer was located. I put down the leg I was eating and hit the door with the horns of my head.

Even an alloy door with a thickness of 10 cm was powerless in front of Aimov’s monstrous power. The central AI, detecting my intrusion, cried loudly.

“warning! warning! “An unidentified creature has approached!”

I swung my tail and destroyed the speakers hanging from the corner of the ceiling. The noisy warning sound disappeared and only the regular noise of the air conditioner running in the server room remained.

‘First, destroy the computer in charge of air conditioning.’

There were a lot of computers in the server room, but I also visited the hospital more than once or twice. It was difficult to get this far, but after that it is easy.

I hit each of the computers listed on the far right with my back arm. Sparks flew and the red light on each computer disappeared.

After a while, all internal ventilation fans stopped and the internal temperature began to rise rapidly. The sensitive electronic devices inside screamed at the internal temperature, which surpassed that of a sauna.

‘This isn’t the end.’

I used all my arms to destroy the data server devices one by one.

It either tore the computer to shreds with its fighting arms, or swung its tail to turn the data storage device into unrecoverable waste.

Thanks to its larger body, it didn’t take long to destroy the electronic devices in the large server room.

Since the important equipment was largely destroyed, it was decided to finish off the remaining items by other means. I bit my arm, scarred it, and sprayed acid rain everywhere.

Thanks to the complete organism, the effect of acidic blood was greatly increased, and electronic devices that came in contact with the blood droplets melted without a trace. Then, flames erupted as if a short had occurred in the wires inside the broken computer.

‘That’s enough for here.’

A fire of this magnitude cannot damage the double-reinforced inner shell. I walked leisurely through the fire and entered the server room.

Inside was a cylindrical computer wrapped in tempered glass. That is the main computer containing the central AI. Green numbers constantly appeared and disappeared on the black, matte surface.

That cylindrical computer has a unique Megacorp design, and the AI computer on board the ship also looks similar to that.

“warning! warning! “Threatening damage to the central AI!”

The AI sent out a final warning with an electronic sound as if it didn’t want to die, but it was meaningless. When the spine was fired at the tempered glass, the glass wall shattered.

The spine broke the glass wall and pierced the main computer, but there was no peace of mind. Only by completely destroying it will the enemy be able to collect the data.

‘I made a mistake before and got in trouble once.’

In the game, I had to sneak into the space city hospital for a while because I had to kill someone.

At that time, I was a semi-adult and had 6 types, so it was very easy to assassinate the enemy without being caught by anyone.

But maybe it was because it was too easy?

I let my guard down, and because of that, my use of the characteristics was exposed to the central AI.

The member of the hostile clan who was killed by me easily obtained my information through central AI. They got revenge on me by spreading the strategies I used at the hospital throughout the community.

‘Since then, it’s been difficult to come up with a completely new strategy.’

Of course, I later repaid them double, but I have no desire to relive the memories of that time. I sprayed acid and completely melted the main computer.

‘It ended well.’

After leaving the server room with the fire burning brightly, I finished eating William’s remaining leg.

Once again, a text box related to the predation effect appeared and I paused while trying to scroll through the text box.

‘for a moment? this?’

I quickly checked the text box.

“Predation effect activated! Successfully acquired the ‘insight’ gene essence.｣

｢Taken away ‘insight’ among the biological characteristics of ‘humans’.｣

｢Would you like to apply ‘insight’?｣

‘Huh?’

Insight.

This is a trait I also know.

When you look at a creature or object with the naked eye with the ‘Insight’ attribute activated, you can check the object’s unique characteristics, characteristics, skills, etc.

It is not possible to know everything, and the information that can be known at once is determined randomly, with a daily limit of 5 times.

For example, if you use Insight on an opponent wearing a reinforced suit, information about the enhanced suit may come out, or the characteristics or skills possessed by the wearer may come out.

And if you use Insight more than 5 times a day, you will be notified that you cannot use it from then on.

‘I was curious about what would come out of William, and this is what came out.’

I thought he was an unusual person, but if he had insight, it was understandable. Thanks to his latent characteristics, he may have had a keener sense than others.

‘I guess it was thanks to my insight that I quickly figured out my weaknesses.’

When I think about it, William was the first enemy in this city to corner me. Although he did not have high combat power like Sihyeon Eugene or the Hulk Mutant, he targeted my weaknesses using only his intuition.

I infected him with parasites, but he didn’t give up and gave me a headache until the end.

‘I never thought the person who did that would give me a gift at the end like this.’

We were enemies in the past, but I think we can forgive each other at this point.

As can be seen from the effect, insight is an advantageous characteristic in fights between players, that is, PK. As someone who doesn’t fight players, it’s not a trait I need right away.

Still, there is only one reason why I am happy.

‘Because insight is a supernatural ability type trait.’

Including insight, the total number of psychic abilities I possess is 6. In other words, it means that all the conditions for the superpower enhancement type have been met.

The characteristics acquired by eating knights and patients are still on hold as there is some time left until cancellation, but the insight I have now is different.

‘It’s an opportunity to acquire a type, so you can’t miss it.’

I immediately accepted to gain insight.

As the characteristics were applied, I felt the structure of my eyes change. The inside of my eyeballs felt stiff, as if I were tired, and my eyebrows twitched. My eyes felt itchy, but I stayed still because it was a natural change caused by applying the trait.

Perhaps because the application area was not wide, the change ended quickly. I activated Insight and looked around.

‘what?’

I learned it, but nothing changed. Information about objects should appear randomly, but I couldn’t see anything.

‘right. ‘I’m blind now.’

Insight is a characteristic that must be seen with the naked eye to be effective.

Currently, I am in a situation where my eyes are blocked due to the symbolic effect of hunting. Of course, I can’t see anything.

‘It doesn’t matter because there are other important things anyway.’

Deciding to check the effect of the insight later, I opened the long-awaited text box.

｢There is one ‘type’ that can be specialized.｣

｢Do you want to unlock the ‘super power enhancement type’?｣

After acquiring the first type, the second type is waiting for me.
