I Became an Evolving Space Monster

After returning to the star system where Gallagon’s nest is located, I headed straight to Gigacracker.

A huge spaceship moving along the orbit of a pure white planet reacted immediately as I approached. The large gate connected to the mineral storage facility was wide open.

When I went inside, I noticed a huge mountain crawler the size of a hill among the piled up minerals.

｢Hello, Ddandan!｣
｢Geuwoo｣

After hearing No. 26’s greeting, Mountain Crawler closed his four eyes and fell asleep again.

“Where did Seo-ah go?”

As Isabel said, the owner was nowhere to be seen.

‘The treatment would have been over long ago, right?’

At that time, a mini screamer crawled by. A thing with the head of a human woman and long, thin metal legs stood still and looked up at me.

“It’s MPS-03, right?”
“hit. hit.”

I imitated the voice with its mimicry organ and asked, and MPS-03 twitched its metal leg.

“Where is everyone?”
“nest. ‘Little baby’ treatment. therapy.”
“In Gallagon’s lair? “Not a Screamer support ship?”
“nest. “No cure.”
The moment I heard that treatment was not possible, my heart sank. Something is wrong.

“I’ll go down and come back.”
｢Big baby, I want to go too!｣
“Wait a minute. “Let’s go together.”

I quickly opened the storage gate and came out. 26 and Isabel followed me.

‘With PS-111’s skills, eliminating APNC is no problem.’

He can design and manufacture Screamer himself, which is the essence of genetic engineering. Isabel, the MPS series are all his works. The probability that a technician with such outstanding skills will fail to remove a bullet is low.

‘It’s clear that Akira did something to APNC.’

He planted a trap on his subordinate’s body to catch me. I also suffered during the battle because of that. If Aadhai was hit by a specially treated bullet, it would be difficult to recover using normal methods.

In my case, because I had excellent physical ability, I was able to survive even if I fell into his trap. On the other hand, Aadhai is weak, so he will be able to endure it for a much shorter time than me.

‘…No, I don’t know yet.’

My thoughts keep flowing negatively. No matter how serious the situation is, you must remain calm. Instead of thinking about useless things, I just focused on getting down to the nest.

I could feel the cold atmosphere of the frozen star above my carapace and bundle of tentacles. A white land spread beyond the natural barrier of ice and wind. On one side, you can see the entrance leading to the basement.

As I went down through the hole, a huge underground world appeared before me.

There is a Screamer support ship stuck in the ice below, rising like a tower. Normally I would have stopped by there first, but not this time. I flew at full speed towards the dragon’s nest.

Thanks to focusing all my attention on flying, I soon arrived at the valley where Gallagon’s nest was located.

｢Companion of the great Adhai｣

Belmarg, a white male Gallagon sha, sensed my visit and came out to meet me.

[Zuzuzu zuzuzu (Where is he?)]
｢This way｣

Following his guidance, I crawled deep into the cave created in the cliff.

After a while, I arrived at a cavity that was about four times the size of my body.

There were pieces of colorful, shiny minerals scattered on the floor, and dried vines and moss on the ceiling.

‘Is this Aadhai’s room?’

Looking at the scenery like a child’s secret base, it really looked like a guy.

However, there was a strange feeling that was difficult to explain in words. Would you say it feels like something invisible is clinging to me and sucking my energy out? After entering the space, an unknown feeling of helplessness enveloped my entire body.

“Are you here?”
“Amorph, you’re safe!”

As I was thinking about my unreasonable discomfort, I felt a familiar voice and a thought wave. PS-111, the mother of the sky who took the form of a thunderbird and had various surgical tools on her arms, welcomed me.

“sister!”
｢Hello middle child! Hello friend!”

Isabel and No. 26, who returned alive from a life-threatening battle, also expressed their joy at seeing them.

‘Neither of them were injured.’

After checking with auxiliary agencies, both showed no signs of serious injury. It’s fortunate that the two are okay, but Aadhai is missing.

“What about Aadhai?”

In response to my question, PS-111 extended his finger and pointed toward the middle of the cavity. There, a large ruby gemstone measuring 10 meters in height was stuck in the ground.

I got closer to the ruby-like mineral. When I looked closely, there was a long white object inside. Judging from its small size and uniquely beautiful physique, it was undoubtedly Aadhai.

‘How did this happen?’

I don’t understand why Aadhai, who needs treatment, is inside the ruby. At that time, Heavenly Mother sent me a thought wave.

“That’s not ruby. However, it is not like a mineral.”
“That substance is the result of crystallization of the energy body released by ‘Little Baby’ during treatment.”
“what?”
“From arrival to treatment, everything went according to Amov’s plan.”

When I expressed my doubt, PS-111 began to explain.

“’Middle Baby’ succeeded in activating the limited ability to modify genetic models. Through this, we were able to continuously inject healing fluid into the little baby, lowering the probability of surgery failure by 16%.”

“In fact, PS-111 succeeded in neutralizing most of the APNC in Adhaj’s body.”
“Was there a problem with the APNC?”
“no. “There were no special features other than changing the shape of the bullet to increase penetration.”
“The problem arose after the treatment was over. “The psychic power in Aadhai’s body continued to decrease.”
“Psychic power?”

Absorbing the psychic power of the target it hits is a characteristic of APNC. If the bullet is neutralized, it is true that the psychic power that was consumed is regenerated.

“The psychic power is being lost within the little baby’s body and a new energy body is being created. “The substance that currently protects the little baby was formed when the energy body overgenerated during this process was crystallized and released to the outside.”

I looked at Aadhai, who was sleeping inside a rock that resembled a ruby. That color, like wine made from the blazing sun, was very similar to the red glow that appears when the guy wears red armor.

“Do not touch.”

I stretched out my wings and arms, wondering what would happen if I touched them, but Heavenly Mother stopped me.

“why?”
“After Aadhai is in that state, he is continuously absorbing all the energy. “If you touch it directly here…”

At that time, a new visitor entered the joint.

It was Ham Ort, a gallagon with beautiful scales that looked like they were carved from obsidian. She looked at me and lowered her head slightly.

｢Adhai’s companion｣｢Welcome｣｢I want it｣｢now｣｢It’s difficult｣
[Zuzuzu (It’s okay)]

She must have been out hunting, or she was holding on to a large corpse with her front paws. It was a Giganterium that a group of Gallagons had hunted before.

‘Why did you bring the body?’

She dragged the corpse and placed it on the crystal containing Aadhai.

Then something bizarre happened. The corpse was rapidly dried and distorted, as if gallagons were sucking the body fluids of their prey.

After a few seconds, only bony bones and skin remained around Aadhai.

“All the energy is absorbed like that.”
“The material that protects the little baby requires a continuous supply of energy. “If energy is not supplied as it is now, all energy existing around us is robbed.”
“That’s why Ham Ort and the other gallagons keep bringing us food.”

Now that I think about it, I wondered why I felt helpless when I came here, and this was the cause. Just by getting close to Aadhai, your energy is being sucked out.

“Will this guy’s life be in danger?”
“The surgery was completed successfully. “As long as an energy source exists, the probability that something will go wrong with the little one’s life is currently calculated to be 11%.”
“Isabel?”

Isabel, who had received my request, looked at Adhai with her heavenly eyes.

“It is currently said to be in a ‘dormant’ state. “As you said, I don’t think there will be any particular problems now that the energy is supplied.”

The Screamer sisters came to the same conclusion.

First of all, it is fortunate that Aadhai escaped the danger of his life, but it is too early to feel at ease.

As far as I know, there is no technique that uses dragon power to absorb it in that way. His current state should be considered an unknown state that has not been seen in the game.

‘No, wait.’

Requiring a large amount of energy, being in a forced dormant state, and protecting one’s body by secreting special substances. These are all elements that we have seen a lot somewhere.

‘When I evolve.’

Now that I think about it, there is something Adhai told me when he first gained the power of Red Gallagon. I’m sorry I failed.

As he was growing up, he felt strange and gave up on becoming Red Gallagon. When I heard that, I thought it was because she wanted to remain by my side rather than become the Queen of Gallagon.

Now that I think about it, I may have given up my power because I was worried about the current situation. At that time, we were facing a fight against a powerful enemy called Odd Grad. If he hadn’t participated in the battle, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

“Aadhai’s condition. “Maybe we are preparing for evolution?”
“Evolution? ah!”

Heavenly Mother heard me and opened her pumpkin-colored eyes wide.

“This is an interesting opinion, but we believe it differs from previously recorded growth processes.”
“No, something else might be right.”

If you think about the being that is trying to become Aadhai now, it is normal for it to be different from before.

“Because this is the first time he has challenged the full Red Gallagon.”
“Red Gallagon?”
“It’s a Gallagon that has fully grown. “He is the most superior of all Gallagons.”

PS-111 nodded as if he was interested in hearing about the existence of Red Gallagon for the first time.

“Similar to Aimorph, if mutations occur at the genetic level, it is advantageous to have means to protect the body. In fact, the substances secreted by small babies are suitable for minimizing the risks that occur during the mutation process.”
“okay.”
“But this won’t be everything. “If Red Gallagon could be made by simply supplying energy, it wouldn’t be this rare.”

It’s just as she said.

It is too easy to simply go inside the red crystal and absorb the energy. There are definitely other conditions. This is a very difficult condition to achieve for an ordinary Gallagon.

Then Isabel joined the conversation.

“I heard about Red Gallagon from ‘Sister Penelope’ before.”
“From Penelope?”
“Yes. “Gallagons tend to believe that they are descendants of star power.”

There is definitely a trend like that just looking at Aadhai. When using dragon power or when I wielded strong power, he described it as star power.

“Then how can you become the most superior Gallagon? “I thought it would be like eating a shining star.”
“Eating a star is physically impossible.”

PS-111 denied it, but something came to mind the moment I heard the expression ‘eating stars’. Heaven’s Mother met my gaze as if she had similar thoughts.

“Obviously, eating that ‘being’ is close to impossible.”
“It will be difficult even if there are dozens of Black Gallagons.”

If you can’t eat the star directly, you can eat a creature that swallows the star’s energy instead.

And I know what exists that meets those conditions.

‘Arcane Orca.’

The highest Apex creature that lives by feasting on the energy of stars and the owner of the ‘Ether Core’ trait.

This guy is a sacrifice for Red Gallagon’s growth.
