I Became an Evolving Space Monster Chapter 93

Ep. 93

I caught Denver as he fell with my fighting arms.

‘You said your last name was Egerton, right?’

Considering that he was wearing unique armor and had the last name of Edgerton, this man’s status did not seem that low.

‘Let’s try an experiment.’

I just bitten Denver’s neck to paralyze him. In the process, the genetic information contained in his blood has been absorbed into me, so I can imitate his voice.

‘The mimicry organ is sealed, but the voice can only be imitated to a limited extent.’

I turned off Denver’s power suit and pulled out the communicator attached to my waist.

“Help me.”

“Your Majesty!”

I held the communicator with the small arm on my chest and imitated Denver’s voice, and the knights all stopped moving.

“Your Majesty has been captured!”

“You damn monster!”

You can hear the knights expressing their anger through the communicator.

They were talking as if they were going to chew me up right away, but no one was rushing at me carelessly.

‘oh?’

I held on to Denver and called the kids. As No. 26 and Adhai approached me, the knights flinched.

This became clear after seeing the knights’ reactions.

This man, Denver Edgerton, is a man of quite high status.

‘Then you tried to negotiate with me.’

He may be a person who holds an important position within the family.

No, maybe….

‘Is he the head of the family?’

It was caught so easily that I thought it might be Edgerton’s matriarch, but looking at their overreaction, I think it was indeed the matriarch.

If Denver is the right choice for me, my options become much wider.

‘Shall we try a little more here?’

Even if we win against the knights, it will be nearly impossible to sneak out of the city since we have already been discovered.

‘Even if we win the battle, we are still at a disadvantage in the war.’

If they give up my body and open fire on me, my children and I will die.

Also, even if I somehow manage to escape this place and hide in the spaceship, if a warship comes after me, that’s the end of it.

‘but.’

That was before I got hold of Denver.

Now that it’s clear that Denver is a high-value hostage, I think it’s okay to take a step further.

“…Is that monster holding Your Majesty hostage?”

“I heard you have intelligence, but I never expected it to be like this.” “

Your Highness is being held hostage, so everyone, don’t act rashly.”

These are the contents of the articles being talked about on the communicator. I can hear it.

It goes without saying, but they don’t know that I can understand human speech.

‘Come to think of it, Denver was like that.’

As soon as he saw me, he decided I was a Hulk mutant.

If they don’t know Amorph, it’s not really a wrong decision.

I should have already known during the fight that my body contains the genes of many living things. In that case, it was natural to assume that it was a similar being, the Hulk Mutant.

Of course, other than Hulk mutants, there are outspacers who evolve through gene absorption, but similar to No. 26, they communicate with a unique wavelength that only their species shares.

‘Even the original Hulk mutant can’t speak as well as me.’

That’s also true in games.

Haven’t you already met a Hulk mutant who can not only talk but also pirate?

‘If they judge me as a Hulk mutant…’

How can I fool them?

‘By design, the Hulk Mutant requires genetic manipulation technology that can fuse genes without side effects.’

Of course, for this to happen, a laboratory equipped with cutting-edge equipment to fuse large-scale capital genes must be prepared.

In other words, not just anyone can make it.

‘Let’s take advantage of that.’

After thinking for a short time, I manipulated the communication channel with my small arm.

‘I was able to communicate with a warship… Oh, here it is.’

He switched to the public channel and broke Denver’s right arm with his fighting arm. There would be no pain since the entire body was paralyzed, but there was no way those knights would know that fact.

｢Your Highness!｣

｢You bastard!｣

“I will inform everyone.”

“majesty? Why on this channel…?”

“Your Majesty has been taken hostage!”

The communicator was noisy with the panicked voices of the knights here and the subordinates waiting on the warship.

Regardless of their reactions, I continued talking.

“He’s not your average Hulk mutant.”

“majesty! The injury is serious! You don’t have to say any more…!”

“This guy, hit T&C, the monster created by T&C.”

“No way!”

The reaction from both the knights and the warship became fiercer at my words.

The reaction was that they had to hit TNC right away, the reaction that Denver was distraught due to the injury, etc.

But none of them doubted me.

‘Of course there is no doubt.’

Denver’s height is close to 2m 50cm thanks to the reinforced suit.

Since I stand on both feet a little over 3m, it is difficult to know whether I am secretly communicating through the communicator unless you approach closely from the other side and check.

How much more would anyone dare to imagine that an unknown monster could imitate the voice of a perfectly living matriarch?

‘The voice is a little different, but I calculated that too.’

Currently, I cannot fully imitate the voice due to the limitations of the transcendental system. This is because there is noise like a broken radio.

So I intentionally injured Denver in front of them. To portray a person who cannot speak out due to pain.

‘Besides, T&C is an appropriate target to divert the enemy’s attention.’

Hulk Mutant requires such advanced technology that even Prime Capital found it difficult to develop.

In that case, in their opinion, there is only one person who can develop a Hulk mutant as good as me.

This is TNC, which has announced groundbreaking achievements in genetic manipulation technology over the past few days.

‘We need to drive a wedge here.’

“There is a device on the Earth’s border that controls this thing.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Destroy the border checkpoint.”

“Now wait a minute! If that happens, war will break out with T&C!”

What the warship said is correct.

If you go from sewer to armed conflict and even fire naval artillery fire at checkpoints, the only thing left is war.

However, since the head of the family is held in my hands, they have no choice but to follow my words.

‘Is it still not persuasive?’

I grabbed Denver’s legs with my lower arms and crushed them. Even though my whole body was numb, I must have been quite shocked by what I was experiencing, and a groaning sound was heard from inside the helmet.

I myself am so confused, so what about the other side?

An explosion of shouting came from the communicator.

Without hesitation, I opened my mouth and bit Denver’s shoulder. The thick pauldron shattered and my teeth sank into the dark shoulder inside.

The angry knights roared, but I couldn’t care less.

Because the blood gushing from Denver’s shoulder warmed my throat.

‘It tastes good.’

I could taste it slightly when I bit the neck, but I can definitely feel it since I drink such a large amount of blood.

Is this what high-quality wine aged for a long time tastes like? It was sweet and had a clean aftertaste.

‘I don’t think any genetic modification was done.’

Is it because I eat well and stay well? It was a different flavor from Sihyeon Eugene, which was the most delicious food I had ever eaten.

‘Not yet.’

This is an action taken to shake things up over there. It’s not about enjoying a dinner party.

I pulled the tooth from my shoulder with regret.

‘If I had done this, the other side would have understood.’

That there is only one action they can take unless they abandon the head of the family.

As I expected, a large warship anchored in the dock in the distance slowly began to rise.

‘phew.’

Only then could I barely relax.

‘Honestly, I thought there was a high chance of failure.’

Taking the head of the family hostage was a highly gambling option.

What if the person I caught wasn’t the head of the family?

Or what if the people on board the warship made a rational decision and opened fire on me?

That is the end of my fate and that of my children.

‘I’m glad they’re acting with a Megacorp mentality over there.’

Megacorp is a rigid society with severe gaps between capitals, but at the same time has a strange structure that tolerates infinite competition.

As a result, when losing in competition, capital often falls several levels.

This phenomenon is not limited to low capitals, but also applies to the top seven families.

‘If Denver dies, his subordinates will all be purged by the new head of the family.’

Not only the knights, but also the people on board the warship must somehow keep Denver alive in order to protect their own lives.

That’s why they follow the ridiculous orders given by their master like that.

While the warship was flying toward its target, I used the auxiliary engine to find a ship for us to board.

It was quite a distance to the dock, so I couldn’t check it in detail, but I was able to find a few spaceships that didn’t look bad.

‘When the warship shells the checkpoint, that’s when it’s time to move.’

If the defense fleet steps in to respond to Edgerton’s warship, this place will quickly become chaos. At that time, you can run to the dock and secretly board the spaceship.

[Zuzuzu zuzuz (run when there is a signal)]

It was not me who answered No. 26, who asked

“Signal?”

A huge explosion erupted from the border of the district, followed by a loud roar throughout the port district.

[Z(Now)]

I ran while holding on to Denver. No. 26 and Adhai also followed me.

‘No. 26 is faster than I thought.’

It moved forward by rapidly flicking its fins, which served as legs, while simultaneously pushing back with its tentacles.

I was worried because it was a creature that lives in the deep sea, but it didn’t seem to slow down much because it was on land.

As we walked away at a fast pace, the drivers were confused and chased after us.

｢A bad person is chasing you.｣

[Zuzuz zuzuzuzu zuzuzuzu (We don’t have to catch them)]

｢?｣

As soon as I finished speaking, the sky distorted and black lines were drawn everywhere.

The sky maintained by holograms and the artificial sun disappeared, revealing the metal dome surrounding the city.

Next, the shield door installed on the inner wall of the dome opened, and steel ships poured out from within.

[Zuzuzu zuzuzu (They’ll handle it)]

｢Wow!｣

The battleships that emerged from the shielded door near the port district fired plasma heat rays toward Egerton’s warship.

The sight of numerous steel ships shooting out rays of green light at once within the huge artificial structure was truly spectacular.

In response, blue light emanated from the front of Edgerton’s warship. The plasma shield, which is installed only on ships of battleship or higher, has been activated.

The green heat rays were unable to penetrate the shield protecting the warship and simply disappeared.

‘It wasn’t that bad to begin with, but it looks like they used a good ship for the head of the family.’

Numerous batteries mounted on the Edgerton warship opened fire simultaneously. Perhaps because they used better shields, the thickness of the heat ray fired from the warship was more than twice that of the T&C side.

The battleships also activated their shields, but they could not block the plasma heat rays fired by Edgerton. Battleships hit by heat rays fell over the city like moths to fire.

As war broke out in the middle of the city, the atmosphere at the dock changed drastically. The ships that were preparing to leave quickly got ready to sail, and the screams of people could be heard up to here.

｢Oh my God!｣

｢How could this happen….｣

The knights who were chasing us seemed to be mesmerized when they saw Edgerton’s warship and the defense fleet fighting.

They had forgotten that they were chasing us and were standing there looking up at the devastation.

Now they seemed to realize what they had done.

As I listened to the conversations full of devastated emotions being exchanged through the communicator, something suddenly occurred to me.

Shortly after arriving in this city, I suspected that Sihyeon Yujin’s subordinates were arbitrarily trying to start a civil war.

However, Eugene’s plot was foiled when I saved Gallagon Adhai, who was the key to the plot at the time.

‘It was definitely like that.’

Megacorp’s biggest event, a civil war, has now broken out in front of me.

And that too by my hands.

“and! Boom! Cool!」
