I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Chapter 338

Among the NPCs in Space Survival, what is the single entity with the strongest power?

Most players choose the ultra-powerful Apex creatures that appear as raid bosses. Red Gallagon, who united all Gallagons, Vortex One, whose psychic power was taken away by Outspacer, Sea Demon, who lives on an ocean-type planet, Arcane Orca, who lives on a giant gas planet, etc.

They are very difficult to deal with due to the environment that is difficult for players to conquer and the individual specifications.

So, let’s change the question.

What species has the most power?

In the case of this question, the answer tends to be unified.

A being with many nicknames, including space demon and abyss dweller.

Vortex One.

However, due to the setting, there are some aspects that make it difficult to view the Vortex Ones, who came from another universe, as a single race. This is because their appearance, strength, and habits are all different.

However, Vortex One is the only entity whose body is made up of an unidentified energy called the ‘Power of the Abyss’, so it is only a matter of uniting them.

Beings classified as Vortex Ones all show the strength of the highest level of Apex. Even the weakest entity has a power that far surpasses that of Black Gallagon.

In addition, the things you need to pay attention to are very different for each individual, so if you attack without knowing, you will most likely end up in big trouble.

I have fought against Vortex One before and been defeated several times. Even though it was an adult and possessed many unique characteristics.

One of those dangerous beings appeared before me.

Even though it was cut in half, it was a huge black ring that was about 1.5 times bigger than me in the ‘bone beast’ state. The ‘Ring of Agony’ that had just appeared was floating in the sky without moving.

‘...I guess I should be glad that it wasn’t a masquerade.’

After watching Isabel’s summoning ritual, there were two Vortex One candidates I expected.

The more dangerous of these is the one called ‘Masquerade’.

It’s a Vortex One that specializes in mind control, so it’s very difficult to deal with. Because he’s the one who uses the only trait I have, ‘Herald of Chaos’, on a planetary basis.

The chain of agony is weaker than that of the masquerade. Additionally, since it was summoned incompletely, it would not be able to fully demonstrate its original power.

‘But it’s not that easy.’

There are two main things to keep in mind when dealing with the Ring of Anguish. Numerous arms attached to the surface of the ring, and the ring itself.

Each and every one of those countless arms is his weapon. Depending on how that arm moves, its attack or movement changes.

The next thing to be careful of is the ring, but fortunately it is now broken and only half is left, so I don’t think you need to worry too much.

‘Originally, the energy cannon was fired through that ring.’

It can collect energy and fire it by rotating the ring at high speed.

Its power is powerful enough to easily split a planet. It is very threatening because it nullifies most defensive abilities, with a few exceptions such as Red Armor. So, when catching him in the game, you had to catch him before the ring started spinning.

‘Thank goodness there is no time limit here....’

At that time, the ring of agony that had been floating still in the sky began to move.

“Big baby, big baby. Look over there.」

[Zuzuzu (Be careful)]

No. 26 and I prepared for the upcoming attack.

One guy’s movements were different from what I expected. The arms on the surface of the ring were clasped together and stretched downward.

‘what?’

That posture taken by the arms of the ring is usually shown when moving very quickly.

As I thought, the altitude of the entire ring rose sharply. As a result, the size of the huge aircraft rapidly decreases.

‘Where are we going?’

Of course I thought they would attack me first, but I was surprised.

If you see yourself moving upwards after assuming a moving posture, the target is not a being on this earth. It is targeting beings outside the atmosphere, that is, in space outside the planet.

‘There’s something outside the planet... wait a minute.’

For a moment, I am reminded of the scene I saw earlier.

Isabel was performing the summoning ritual and Alshas was looking at it with fearful eyes. After seeing that, I guessed that it wasn’t a summons he ordered. There is no way Alshas can defeat Vortex One, which is too much for me to deal with right now.

But looking at the current situation, I think I misjudged.

Alshas did not react that way because Isabelle behaved unexpectedly.

‘Instead of sacrificing her life, Isabel asked to kill Alshas.’

So why bother bringing in such a dangerous monster?

‘It must be because of Alshas’s privileges.’

It can create identical copies of itself. I actually tried eating meat, but there was little difference from other cults. In other words, even for Amorphs with transcendental senses, it is difficult to tell whether they are clones or not.

But with Vortex One, it’s a different story.

As can be seen from their appearance, their cognitive abilities transcend the general laws of physics. No matter how far away the goal is, it is clearly recognized. No matter how good your concealment techniques are, or whether you hide in a completely protected, enclosed facility, you can’t escape from this guy.

This is probably what Isabel was aiming for. If you’re a Vortex One, you won’t be fooled by copies and will follow the original.

‘Should I say I’m glad we didn’t fight right away?’

While I was lost in thought, he had already gone far away and was out of sight. You won’t attack me until you achieve your goal.

After the clone disappeared, she immediately left the surveillance office’s situation room.

Isabel asked Vortex One to kill her by pinpointing her. Unless the elite fleet or the Outspacer Corps remain, it would be difficult to catch him with just the forces currently at the Observatory.

‘It’s difficult with only the remaining imperial carriers!’

The Imperial Carrier’s firepower is among the top five of all Cult ships, but there is a problem. Once you pour in your firepower, you can’t do anything.

Because the Cosmic Bolt is a delicate organ, it has a very long rest period after firing once. This is true even if the power is reduced as in a fleet battle.

So, a fleet was needed to support the mother ship, but all of it was blown away because of Aimorph. This difficulty cannot be solved with the remaining ships of the carrier battle group.

‘Plus, a masquerade! If the masquerade comes on, I’m done!’

As the name suggests, the Vortex One Masquerade can turn anyone into a clown. All creatures that come into contact with the wavelength it emits fall into a state of madness that makes it impossible to identify them as friend or foe.

Looking at this alone, you might think that you can just avoid it, but the problem is that it is very difficult.

Even if she is lucky enough to not fall into madness, the crisis is not over. Because there are other crew members left. Everyone around the Surveillance Office, the Imperial Mothership, and Berzan 02 will rush to catch her.

‘I can’t die here!’

The airship crossed the interior of the surveillance office at incredible speed. In an instant, she arrived at the exit outside the surveillance office.

「Entry to this place is currently prohibited.」

“I am Alshas, the captain of ‘Defender of Berzan 02’! “Open the door right now!”

“yes? “Just wait a moment...”

“Damn it! “I can’t open the door quickly!”

The moment she screamed into the communication device inside the airship, a loud siren was suddenly heard outside.

“Unidentified entity approaching! “Unidentified entity approaching!”

“Wow, it’s here! “It’s here!”

The loud warning sounds were intermittently mixed with pounding explosions. It is the sound of the main guns of the ships guarding the surveillance office and the fortress guns mounted outside the facility spouting fire.

‘I can’t go out!’

A terrifying cosmic demon is closing in to kill her. If you leave here, you will be killed immediately.

She had no choice but to turn the airship around.

‘Please, if a miracle happens...!’

How happy I would be if an unknown ranker at the Surveillance Office took care of that Vortex One. It was truly a ridiculous imagination, but she was that desperate right now.

Even as the airship wandered, the sirens and explosions did not stop.

Rather, the entire surveillance building was now shaking. The control tower where the situation room was located shook, and various debris fell from the ceiling.

Contrary to her expectations, he is getting closer very quickly.

And within a few minutes, the lights inside the surveillance office went out. Emergency power was turned on and a red light illuminated the entire structure.

In what seemed like a sea of blood, only the airship on which Alshas was floating was alone.

‘...Communication! okay! If you contact the Empress, she will come to your rescue!’

She got up from the passenger seat and quickly picked up the communication tombstone. The Empress already knows that she is important within the Returning Sect. If they were people who valued useful people, they would definitely come to her rescue.

Just as she was about to pull out the wires inside the airship and connect them to the monument, a huge shock hit the surveillance office and her airship.

“W-what is it?”

Startled, she looked out the windshield of the airship.

There was a ‘devil’ there.

The outer wall of the surveillance office collapsed, creating a huge ring with tens or hundreds of thousands of arms hanging from it.

‘A ring of agony!’

The Vortex One, which was tearing through the outer wall with its numerous arms, was something she knew. It’s better than the Masquerade, but it doesn’t make much of a difference in that she’s not a monster worth dealing with.

Alshas hurriedly returned to the passenger seat and took the control. Accelerating the airship rapidly, she tried to escape behind the black ring.

But the cosmic demon had no intention of letting her go. Some of the numerous arms moved nimbly and grabbed the airship.

“Hey, let go of this! “Let go of this!”

In panic, she grabbed the steering wheel and screamed. The dignity of an imperial carrier captain well versed in psychic powers was nowhere to be seen in that appearance.

Another arm moves leisurely. A hand as big as an airship covered the windshield. Inside the palm was a mouth shaped like a whirlpool.

Soon that mouth will swallow her airship whole.

That’s when I thought so.

Gori’s body twitched and trembled. Something appeared behind the torn exterior wall, holding the ring tightly.

「Grrrr」

「Grrrrr」

「Grrrrr」

Then, a familiar cry was heard, and the ring of agony began to be dragged out of the surveillance office. She, caught by the devil’s hand, was also dragged into the black sea.

Her life was extended thanks to a savior who suddenly appeared, but she was not happy at all.

This is because I know who that being as large as Vortex One is.

The infamous 5th ranker, Eimov.

A monster as fearsome as the devil reached out to capture her.

A word from the author (author review) Please take care of zakuti.

As I announced, I have contracted coronavirus.

I feel like I’m feeling a little better after sleeping for a while, so I’m posting this right now.

“I’ll take a day off tomorrow, and if I’m feeling better, I’ll resume normal serialization on Thursday. See the next episode.”
