Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 428
Only Krnovel
Even Pisces had no idea that the enemy could create such a high-level program in such a short period of time.
But it doesn’t matter.
Pisces is a top member who specializes in collecting and organizing information. For her, information warfare is as easy as breathing for a human.
She quickly figured out the structure of the opponent’s security program, modified it at will, and took control.
In response, the opponent tried to respond by creating a new security program, but she was able to build a firewall that could nullify the opponent’s intrusion itself before that.
One, two, the ships that the enemy had taken control of quickly returned to Pisces’ hands.
There is now only one ship left.
They realized that hacking the enemy was no match for them, so they changed their strategy.
That is, attacking the Sachs 02-class battleship that Pisces was on with the last remaining destroyer.
Fiskes remained unfazed and gradually regained control of the destroyer.
Eventually, the destroyer, which had lost control of the ship, stopped near the battleship.
Now that we have our fleet back, all that remains is to eliminate the means through which the enemy hacked us.
The communications satellites that manage this constellation’s communications network are currently under Screamer control.
If we leave that satellite alone, we don’t know what variables may arise.
While preparing for an orbital bombardment, Pisces simultaneously attempted to hack into a communications satellite.
The satellite’s firewall was very strong, but it was useless against her.
The enemy’s security system, which seemed to have been prepared for a long time, was destroyed in a matter of minutes.
And the last trap remained before her.
It was a code encrypted in a different way than before.
No amount of encrypted codes, created in hundreds or thousands of different ways, can stop her.
Pisces quickly deciphered the code.
“hmm?”
The decrypted code was not a program, but a message.
“The best way, King, is to use physical force? What is this…?”
At that moment, her real body detected some movement.
An intruder had entered her room, where no one should be present.
“?!”
She returns to reality in a hurry and sees a large blade in front of her.
She quickly raised both arms.
A strong spark flew as the rushing blade collided with her arm.
Beyond the flames, a mechanical weapon was seen, consisting of the head of a human woman and the body of a large spider.
“That is correct.”
The red-eyed screamer, who had been bothering Pisces until now, spoke softly.
–
Pisces dodged the intruder’s attack to the side and then dodged to the other side.
The Screamer’s hand, with its hook-shaped blades attached to its fingers, was stuck into the wall behind her.
After dodging the first attack, she activated the Nano Spartan module installed in her body.
The body that resembled a human female was instantly dyed blue.
The special feature of this module is that it uses nanomachines to dramatically enhance the physical abilities of cyborgs or androids.
Pisces slammed the Screamer’s hand into the wall with a reinforced fist.
“!”
A loud, thunderous noise tore through the air.
The fist she swung was damaged, and the enemy’s hooked claws were greatly bent.
It was an unexpected result.
Contrary to the intention, the hooked claw did not break, and instead, the striking side suffered greater damage.
The attacked Screamer turned around sharply, pulling back its hooked claws.
The tail attached to the buttocks flew towards her riding the momentum.
Instead of dodging, Pisces activated the shield module implanted on his chest.
A purple shield appeared in front, absorbing the energy contained in the tail.
While defending with a shield, his left arm split open and the plasma rifle hidden inside popped out.
I tried to counterattack with that, but I was a step too late.
This is because the Screamer attacked by spewing white flames from its cylindrical pillar-shaped arms.
Its firepower and heat are estimated to be at least plasma-level. There is a limit to the protection provided by shields.
Pisces jumped to the ceiling to escape the fire.
The luxurious carpets on the floor quickly turned to ash, and the metal walls and floors melted.
The entire room instantly became a sea of fire.
Pisces thought.
Continuing to fight like this is not a good choice.
The Supreme Council member’s body is so strong that it is difficult to compare it to a normal android.
However, this is only for survival, not for combat.
Just then the Screamer stopped breathing fire.
Steam pours out of pipes rising above the spider-like body.
It is to cool down the heat that has risen rapidly.
Now is your chance to get out.
There are monster walkers available in the ship’s armory.
I have to go there.
She crawled upside down from the ceiling toward the collapsed wall.
“Where are you going?”
Just as I was leaving the room, a projectile made of psychic power slashed my back and passed by.
Fortunately, thanks to the Nano Spartan module, there was no major damage.
She ran down the hallway outside the room as the nanomachines from the module repaired the damaged area.
“There is no escape.”
I hear a sharp cracking sound as metal clashes behind me.
The Screamer chases after you, wagging his eight legs.
There are a lot of pirates on this huge ship.
He’ll be here soon to catch that bastard.
At that moment, the sound of multiple footsteps was detected at the end of the corridor ahead.
They must have come to catch the Screamer.
However, the behavior of those who emerged from the front was different from what she had expected.
The armor he was wearing was soaked in blood, and his face was clearly terrified.
“Hurry up! We have to run away before he gets here… Kkwak!”
As the pirate in the lead spoke, his body crumpled like scrap metal in a compressor.
Soon after, others met the same end.
Where the armed pirates had been, only red blood remained.
It was a bizarre situation that even the highest committee members could not understand, but one thing was certain.
That there was someone else who intruded onto this ship besides the Screamers.
Pisces immediately corrected his destination.
Instead of going to the armory, go to the hangar where the aircraft are stored.
Since the enemy is stronger than expected, using walkers is pointless.
It would be much more reasonable to escape and hide on another planet nearby.
She took a detour in the middle of the hallway and flexed her strengthened legs.
But I fell after only taking a few steps.
“What is this?”
She looked down at her twisted legs.
The broken bridge was not repaired even though the nanomachines were still operational.
It was because of the unidentified amber particles floating around the lower body.
“Didn’t I tell you that you can’t run away?”
A screamer crawled towards her as she fell.
The bastard tore off the left arm, which contained the plasma rifle, with a curved hooked claw.
“Did you catch it?”
“yes.”
A second intruder appears behind the Screamer.
The identity of the opponent was a female wolf with the head of a bird.
However, unlike the regular Wolf, it had wings made of pumpkin-colored particles on its back.
Things are not going well.
You can’t escape because the particles are blocking the effects of the Nano Spartan Module.
So she revised her plans.
“Tool of the dangerous creature ‘Aimov’. Fiskes Twelve requests negotiation.” “Negotiation?”
“It is assumed that you have come to obtain the core components of the ‘Prometheus V2’.
“Is it true?”
“Yes.”
“If you remove me, you won’t be able to use the machine even if you find the parts.”
The Screamer, who had been flicking his hooked claws threateningly, stopped moving when he heard those words.
“What does that mean?”
“Prometheus V2 requires an active Supreme Council member to function.
“Without me, that weapon is useless.”
That is one of the reasons why Prometheus V2 cannot be mass-produced and operated.
Because it had so many more features than the previous model, it was impossible to control it with a normal ship computer.
A person with the level of brainpower of a top member would have been able to successfully manage Prometheus V2.
The opponent is a screamer with such good performance that he can wage an information war against the Supreme Council.
You must know that it is to your advantage to accept her offer.
But the answer she got back was once again beyond her expectations.
“I know.” “You know?”
“We have confirmed through simulations that high-performance computers are necessary to operate weapons reliably.
“The missing part from the warehouse is the operating system of Prometheus V2: you.”
“… … .”
“If I subdue you and check your memory, I can figure out how to control you.
“There is no need to negotiate.”
The negotiations broke down.
Now there was only one way left for Pisces.
“Incineration protocol initiated. 10, 9… .”
“Huh? Is this really true?”
Since the disbandment of Pira Eleven in the past, all Supreme Council members have had suicide devices implanted in their bodies.
This was to prevent information leaks due to unexpected circumstances.
“It’s a self-destruct timer!”
As the countdown began, the data in my head was quickly erased.
His ability to think also rapidly declined.
The last thing Pisces saw before his brain shut off was a bundle of cables slowly approaching.
–
“2, 1… Incineration protocol interrupted, middle, jooooooooooooooooooooooo.”
“… Phew.”
Mother Heaven breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the Supreme Council member barely come to a stop.
‘The plan almost went awry.’
The reason they came here was to bring back the core components of Prometheus V2, the Supreme Council.
Originally, PS-111 was supposed to infiltrate the ship alone.
She was to travel to various bases on the planet with Aimov to fight the rankers.
That all changed because of a question that PS-111 suddenly raised.
The question is whether the average person can easily assemble and disassemble the complex structure of Prometheus V2.
That superweapon is a delicate object that could be damaged or go out of control if assembled incorrectly.
Even if it was to prevent it from falling into enemy hands, it was not easy to reassemble it every time it was needed.
PS-111 speculated that the Supreme Council or at least someone of similar rank was in charge of Prometheus V2.
It was certainly a plausible hypothesis, so Aimov and her revised their plans at the last minute.
If there is a top-level android on the ship, it might be difficult for PS-111 to subdue it alone, so she should go with him.
And their judgment was correct.
“I didn’t know that the highest member would attempt suicide.”
It’s the first time since I saw a mutant Screamer self-destruct in Aadhai’s old hometown.
Even though it was 20 seconds back then, this time the countdown was only 10 seconds.
If PS-111 hadn’t taken quick action, it could have been a disaster.
She thanked PS-111 for attaching her cable to the back of the Supreme Council member’s neck.
“Thank you for saving my life. Thank you.”
“… … .”
Instead of answering, PS-111 rolls its red camera eyes around.
If it were any other time, he would have acted confidently, but it was unexpected.
The guy’s appearance now seemed to be that of a person feeling anxious.
“what’s the matter?”
“90% of the Supreme Council member’s memory data was lost due to the incineration protocol.
“The control method of Prometheus V2 has also been removed.”
“what?”
The Mother of Heaven was startled by the sudden bolt from the blue.
“Can’t it be repaired? Like by using the facilities of this ship or something?”
“It is impossible because it has been completely erased.
Even if some of them are revived, they will be incomplete memories and will not be of much help.”
PS-111 also felt sorry for what had happened and started stabbing the top member with his hooked claws.
“I came here to get a super weapon, but it was a shame.”
“Yes.”
“But you removed the variable called Supreme Councilor… Huh? What are you doing now?”
“So, I’m going to change the plan.”
At first I thought he was venting his anger, but upon closer inspection I realized he wasn’t.
PS-111 was disintegrating the body of the Supreme Council member.
“I will try to control Prometheus V2 by implanting Pisces’ parts into my body.”
“What? Is that possible?”
“Yes, the memory storage device is damaged, but some of the data processing units remain.
“If I connect my brain here, it will be available.”
The Mother of Heaven is not a technician.
One thing I could tell was that the PS-111 method wasn’t an easy one.
“… What if it fails? You said that last time. If you touch it wrong, the weapon will go out of control and explode.”
“It’s not impossible.”
“You know that and you still try?”
“Instead, if you succeed, you can become a better being than you are now.”
PS-111 nodded and continued speaking while continuing the disassembly work.
“My goal was to find out who I am.
To achieve this, I must protect those who know about me, the part of me that is ‘Penelope.’”
“So we have to get stronger? To protect ourselves?”
“Yes, that’s right.
“I believe that if you are a middle child, you will understand my judgment.”
“… … .”
The Heavenly Mother met the opponent’s red eyes with her amber eyes.
The eye is made of a camera lens.
It would be normal to not be able to read any emotions, but she felt different for some reason.
It is said that red eyes contain the emotion of ‘confidence’.
“Since you’re saying that, I guess you’re confident that you won’t fail. What can I help you with?”
“I want you to prepare to descend to the planet as soon as I complete the transplant.”
“okay.”
With that, the Heavenly Mother set out to seize the bridge.
“It doesn’t fail.”
PS-111, left alone, looked at the calculation device that Pisces had just taken out and made a resolution again.
This is the last registered episode
