Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 416
Only Krnovel
Number 26 carefully waved. As if reflecting its owner’s mood, its pink body shrank like a deflated balloon.
“Of course not. From what I have observed, it is impossible to artificially remove the reproductive capacity of Aimov. The ‘Middle Child’ has also stated that Aimov’s reproductive capacity exists.”
“Then why doesn’t the big baby pay attention to us?”
PS-111 has been analyzing data from various creatures. By comparing and observing this with Aimorph’s body, the following conclusions can be drawn.
“It is believed that the reproductive activity of Aimorph is affected by certain conditions and certain environments.”
Among the creatures living in harsh environments such as extreme regions, there are some that normally keep their reproductive organs inside their bodies. This is to prevent damage to their delicate parts. And these types of creatures only engage in reproductive activity when conditions such as appropriate temperature and a safe environment are met.
Likewise, it is highly probable that Aimorpha also had structures that protected their genitals.
‘It’s possible to change your body shape depending on the hunt, so this should be possible.’
However, because of their characteristic of quickly adapting to any environment, it has become difficult to create a situation in which they can express their sexual desires. Although I have observed Aimorphs so far, I have never seen their genitals.
“I don’t know what it means.”
“Explanation” “Easy”
“The probability that Aimov feels sexual intimacy with the two is calculated to be 87%. However, in order for it to lead to direct sexual activity, it seems that various factors such as the surrounding environment, temperature, and time must be taken into consideration.”
“Time?” “Temperature?”
“I! I know! ‘Atmosphere’ is important!”
Suddenly, No. 26’s body lit up like a light bulb.
“Atmosphere?” “What does it mean?”
“They say that people eat delicious food and make pretty nests to create a good atmosphere! The movie says that you need a good atmosphere to make a baby!”
“Surely” “Nel Germa” “Mating” “Before” “Good food” “A lot” “A lot” “Ate”
“Then, if I give the older one lots of delicious food and make the nest pretty, will it make babies?”
“One” “Question” “Big man” “Food” “Very” “A lot” “Eat” “But” “Copulation” “Interest” “No”
“Aimorphs are not human, so the conditions that can promote reproductive activity are different. We need to know those conditions.
To PS-111, who possesses the ability to manipulate genes, Aimorph is like a treasure chest containing the mysteries of God. He was very curious about whether he could leave behind offspring and how his offspring would be created through the combination of his genes.
‘Actually, I’d like to try it myself.’
According to the mock simulation, there was a 21% chance that Subcontroller 1 would accept the proposal. It was a chance worth trying, but the risk of failure was too high. And the main controller would not like it either.
“Alcohol” “Copulation” “Induction” “Condition” “Included”
“But the older child remains the same even after drinking alcohol. He’s different from other people.”
“More” “More” “A lot” “Faster” “Feed”
“Will it make a difference if I eat a lot at once?”
“maybe”
PS-111, who woke up after a moment of thought, was able to see No. 26 coming out of the storage room. Dozens of tentacles were holding various bottles of alcohol and metal cans.
“Why did you take that out?”
“I’m going to put all of this in.”
“yes?”
Number 26 poured all the liquid from the bottles and cans into the pot.
“Even a big kid would like this, right?”
‘Megacorp synthetic liquor, Lavaraptor flesh, stones, antipsychotic drugs, Hwasung Megasoda, rats, energy bars, laxatives, cyborg oil, human toes and eyes, cult-style sandwich chocolate…’
It’s too late to stop now. It was edible just a moment ago, but now it’s gone way beyond that. It’s become industrial waste that you would only see in a Star Union factory.
“It’s done!”
Number 26 lifted the pot. It was filled with a clear purple liquid. Green blobs rose to the surface every time the pot was shaken.
“Even big babies will feel better if they eat this!”
“Big adult” “Reaction” “Curious”
PS-111 was convinced that the ‘mixture’ could not possibly taste good, even though most of its body was mechanical. If a naked human or cultist were to come into contact with the chemical fumes coming from the pot, they would most likely die on the spot.
But I couldn’t say no to the sight of the delighted main controller.
“Hey buddy, when is the big baby coming?”
“They should be back from hunting by now.”
“That’s great!”
Anyway, Aimoff, who is a living fighting machine, can digest that mixture. It is his choice whether to eat it or not. There is no need for PS-111 to stop him.
That ended the conversation between the two monsters and the fusion of machine and creature that had formed on the crashed spaceship.
Unfortunately, the love dish made by No. 26 and Adhai did not reach their lovers. This was because the ‘middle child’ who was taking care of the giant mountain crawler entered the ship and saw the ‘mixture’.
“Oh, there wasn’t much fresh food left, what is this!”
The Heavenly Mother was extremely angry and as soon as she saw the pot containing the food, she pierced it with her spear.
“We worked hard to make this!”
“Ugly Friend” “Appearance” “Personality” “Everything” “Bad!”
“… You guys, haven’t you tried this? Try it yourself and then decide.”
The two who tasted it directly as the Heavenly Mother said could not help but agree with her actions.
“It tastes weird. I put something delicious in it, so why is it like this?”
“Guweeeeek”
No. 26 expressed his doubts by changing the color of his body, and Adhai just vomited it out.
“From today onwards, cooking is prohibited when we’re alone together. Got it?”
“huh.”
“Eeeeek”
The Heavenly Mother gave a firm warning and went back down to the basement where the Mountain Crawler was.
Adhai, who had been showing off his bizarre behavior of vomiting what he had eaten with a bunch of tentacles for a long time, left the ship with tired steps. Only No. 26 and PS-111 remained in the diner car, which was in a miserable state.
“I did what people do, but why does it taste weird? Do people like this kind of thing?”
“I suspect there is a problem with the combination.”
“mixture?”
“When food is mixed together, it has a special effect. It not only tastes better, but also has a new effect.”
“Really? I have to study cooking hard too!”
No. 26, who was worried about the failed results, soon regained his energy. PS-111, who was watching him, thought.
‘Registering records. Modifying some of the main controller’s personalities. Never giving up on anything related to the big baby.’
“I will help you study.”
“Yeah! Hey buddy!”
So another line was added to the report in Mutant Screamer’s head.
After evolving into a fluid, I set one goal.
The final stage and ending of Aimov, entering ascension.
When you reach Ascension, you will learn why you came to this cruel dystopian world and how to leave it.
My goals have changed many times over the years of my survival, but this one has never changed.
But now, a being who knows the secrets of this world has appeared before me.
But the feeling I had was questionable.
‘Why did you show up now?’
I’ve been in Kochi more than once or twice. The fact that I’ve come out now clearly means that there’s an intention. And I don’t know yet whether that intention will help me or harm me.
‘Is it because of the illusion I saw last time?’
Rankers who fall into this world see powerful hallucinations as they get one step closer to the ending. The division into the ruling faction and the returning faction is also related to this. The illusions limit their thinking and induce certain actions.
But there I chose the third option, neither of the two. As far as I know, no other player made the same choice as I did. I was the only one who escaped the intention of the being who showed me the illusion.
And that being introduced itself as a being that coordinates the recipient’s thought system. It would not be pleased with my unusual choice.
‘Have you come here to brainwash me again?’
“no.”
‘No?’
“I currently have no power to manipulate the inmate’s thought processes. Therefore, I can only intervene in limited situations and times, as is the case now.”
In short, it means that brainwashing is not possible right now.
It is an entity that wants to make players who enjoy the game into puppets. If you want me to get out of control, just show me an illusion containing that intention. There is no need to act like you are doing now.
‘Then why did you come to see me?’
“As I told you, I am here to give you the information you need.”
‘What information do I need?’
“Yes. This is information about the changed ending mission.”
When I heard that, I remembered a story I had heard from Heavenly Mother before. It was a story about rankers who had challenged the ending a long time ago.
‘But it failed.’
I don’t know exactly what process they went through to make it like that. I just assumed that it happened because they encountered a problem while trying to complete the ending. If the ending mission was changed to be much harder than the game itself, it wouldn’t be surprising for the rankers to fail.
Also, from my perspective of aspiring for ascension, that is not welcome news.
‘The question is, can we believe that?’
The information function is a being well-versed in human memory and thought. Even if it loses the power to brainwash, its experience and knowledge will not disappear. It is also possible that it will manipulate me by deceiving me with words.
“Your question is reasonable. However, I am not authorized to convey unauthorized information. Therefore, it is impossible for me to convince you.”
‘And yet you want me to believe you?’
“You have always thought and judged for yourself whenever you encountered new information. This time was no different.”
With those words, the information function quietly waited for my decision.
‘… It’s better to listen now.’
It is impossible to confirm the other side’s intentions. There is no point in continuing to doubt in this state. In that case, it would be better to at least listen to the words of that being and then decide whether to believe it or not.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to listen to the information parasite’s story.
‘Okay. Tell me what that information is.’
“I don’t have time, so I’ll show you how to do it myself.”
As the information function body raised its hand, the space where the two of them were together began to change.
The empty space is filled with new things. Large glass columns rise from the floor, and a curved ceiling with a grid pattern covers the space. The grid pattern of the ceiling contains numerous galaxies, and between the columns, an infinite sea of stars can be seen.
It resembles the ancient Roman temple, the Pantheon, but its scale is incomparably large. It is the ending mission that marks the end of space survival.
A fierce battle was taking place there, under the watchful eyes of the universe.
Above, several ships and jetpack-equipped humans zoomed across the battlefield at high speed. Below, heavily armed walkers and psychic-powered cultists held their own and advanced.
In front of them, there was a black molecular model toy that was dozens of meters in size. It was the boss that greeted those who challenged the ending, the ‘Observing Shadow’.
It must have been quite some time since the battle began, as the shadow that was being observed was badly damaged. The eye of the thing that resembled a molecular model was now gone.
As the name suggests, the eyes play a very important role for this creature. If the position of the eyes changes, the attack method also changes completely. When arranged in a straight line, it forms a defensive force field, and when arranged in a diamond, it fires energy cannons.
So it is important to destroy the eyes quickly, but it is not easy. The eyes multiply automatically. The shadows observed become stronger as the number of eyes increases. Because of this, the difficulty of the strategy increases rapidly as the battle goes on.
An entity that can only be conquered with overwhelming firepower and an understanding of the enemy’s attack types. That is the shadow that is being observed.
However, the Ranker Alliance present was overwhelming that difficult boss.
Jetpack-equipped humans would constantly change their body parts while flying to keep enemies in check. Ships would avoid energy rays while using superluminal travel without restrictions.
On the ground, Walker, whose design was never seen before, and Wolf, who had transformed into a giant monster, ran around freely and pressured their opponents.
It’s not just because they’re familiar with the strategy. The ships, equipment, and abilities they use are all things that don’t exist in the game.
‘It’s a privilege.’
A power that transcends the limits of race and shakes the very fabric of this world. Even the shadows that observe it are powerless before it.
The battle ended without any particular incident. The cyan beam fired by Walker pierced the enemy’s last eye. The rankers cheered as the shadow they were observing fell over the plaza.
After the battle, the ships that had been flying landed on the square. The pilot also disembarked from the walker that had delivered the final blow to the boss.
‘1st place?’
As soon as I saw his face, I knew who he was. A red-haired cyborg with the same appearance as in the game. The only ranker I had never beaten, the number one.
The rankers, who were intoxicated with the joy of victory, ran to the number one and shook his hand or hugged him. Judging from the atmosphere, it seemed like he was leading and directing the ending strategy.
‘Somehow it seemed like we had good chemistry together… Huh?’
While I was watching that scene, I suddenly had a strange feeling.
A cult boy with goat horns standing at the back of the crowd gathered in the square. He looked familiar even though I had clearly never seen him before.
