Chapter 374
–
“I have to survive somehow. “Isn’t there a way?”
“Auxiliary facilities are needed to control deterioration and collapse at the cellular level.”
“How to even preserve the head?”
“It’s impossible.”
The Mother of Heaven looked down at the dying Salman.
His entire body was simultaneously disintegrating into light particles. Parts like wings and legs have long since disappeared. About a quarter of the head was blown off, and the skin on the torso was gone, exposing the muscles and organs.
Her original idea was to subdue Salman and wait for Amov to come.
This guy is in charge of the returning faction’s equipment. There must be a lot of information in your head. As for the returning faction, there is a high possibility that they know more information than Alshas.
‘Plus, there are perks.’
The ability to subjugate wild animals, the ‘Beast God’s Lasso’, is a power so powerful that it is hard to miss. It is an excellent ability for Aimorph, who gains strength from the genetic essence of living things.
But then things took a strange turn.
If this continues, his entire body will collapse before Amorph arrives. Not only does it provide information, but it also goes beyond obtaining special benefits.
‘In that case, it would be better…’
She took her eyes off Salman and looked around.
Numerous creatures are standing motionless. This is because the privilege of Salman, who is not dead, is still strangling them.
There isn’t much time left until that powerful force is lost.
‘I need strength.’
In the past, she made a certain choice. As a result, she lost her husband and family.
In this fight too, she had to choose. While PS-111 is the bait, will you attack the enemy or retreat?
At that crossroads, she ultimately couldn’t choose anything. No, in fact, it was as if I had made the worst choice, worse than before. Without Aadhai, the situation would have been much worse than it is now.
Past and present, I have continued to make wrong choices. The reason is clear.
It was because there was a lack of power.
Rather than being forced to make a choice, it’s about creating a situation where you don’t have to make a choice in the first place. To do that, you need strength.
Besides, she still has work to do.
plural.
Those who killed my family still roam this world.
The reason she decided to cooperate with that Amorph in the first place was for revenge.
Regardless of her affection for Eimov’s friends, she never gave up on revenge. Even more so, I needed strength to protect those little monsters I had become new friends with.
‘Will alone is insufficient.’
I gained new transformation abilities and powerful equipment, but it’s still not enough.
She tightened her grip on the short spear.
‘I’ve never taken away someone else’s privileges, but…’
I’ve heard stories in the past about other players fighting over perks. I wasn’t told exactly how to obtain it, but I was able to get a rough idea by looking at Amov’s example.
“Help me.”
“Please speak.”
“I’m going to rip out his heart. If there is any interference coming from around you, block it. “It’s okay, even if it’s just for a little while.”
When Wolf increases his level of deification, he needs the heart of another creature. Looking at Amorph’s example, the same thing would apply when acquiring other players’ perks.
The Heavenly Mother made up her mind and approached Salman.
–
‘huh?’
While flying to the location where Salman’s base was located, the auxiliary organ under his chin trembled. A strange signal came from the ‘left head’ and ‘right head’ clones.
‘what?’
Although it is a dangerous situation, there is no sense of urgency. Instead, it seems like a fairly exceptional situation has occurred, even by my standards.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
Isabel asked as I stopped mid-flight. I guess it’s because I’m worried that something is wrong with my sister PS-111.
I said I would check for a moment and got down on the ground. As I lay face down on the ground and focused my senses on my auxiliary organs, I felt my consciousness slipping away.
After the connection was completed, I began to feel environmental elements that were different from this place.
There is a faint smell of blood in the air. At the same time, a weak wave of energy is detected.
Energy waves were unusually felt in the corpse of a certain creature. Most of the body was damaged, so there were no intact parts. In particular, the chest area was severely cracked as if someone had torn it apart.
And the smell of blood came from the hill behind the creature.
No, I thought it was a small rocky mountain, but it wasn’t. Because there is no mountain in the world with four eyes.
Four narrowed eyes watched my clones.
‘Mountain Crawler?’
This is my first time seeing a mountain crawler that big. They grow infinitely until they die, and to grow to that level, they would have to live for thousands of years or more.
‘I don’t know why that guy is here…’
An individual that has grown to that level may have had some beneficial characteristics. First, I’ll have to subdue it with a duplicate and then eat it with the main body.
I was about to attack by moving my left and right head, but a familiar face popped out from above the guy’s back.
It was Aadhai, a gallagon with snow-white scales and red horns.
‘I guess they came here after destroying the satellite?’
They probably came here after seeing the explosion of the anti-matter bomb.
“Some of the wounds were sutured, but only temporarily…”
PS-111 and Heavenly Mother, who were trying to get off the back with him, also spotted my clone.
The Mother of Heaven, who returned to her griffon beast form, had her entire body glowing black, unlike before. It’s because I’m wearing the newly made Wolff-specific equipment.
PS-111, who was with me, got off the Mountain Crawler’s body and approached me. Two of his arms were broken, probably due to damage suffered during the battle.
“82% similar to the sub-controller ‘Amorph’. Is it a duplicate?”
“huh. What happened?”
“Due to unavoidable circumstances, we failed to suppress the target.”
“Unavoidable circumstances?”
“The target overdosed on psionium-type drugs, causing genetic structural alteration and cell collapse in the body. “We couldn’t keep it alive until Eimoff arrived.”
While he was explaining, I felt a subtle psychic power from the Mother of Heaven next to me. She was looking at me with serious eyes and trying to convey something.
‘Are you shooting a thought wave?’
Unfortunately, I can’t understand right now. This is because the clones do not have the monster’s tentacles, so it is impossible to understand the thought waves embodied by psychic power.
In addition to communicating by voice, PS-111 can express its intentions using special, subtle wavelengths, similar to No. 26. So, as long as you have a mimicry organ and an auxiliary organ under the chin, you can talk to him and Isabelle.
But neither the Heavenly Mother nor Adhai have such power. You must also have the monster’s tentacles in order to talk to them.
‘Let’s come to the main body and talk.’
“I need to check something. “There are no more enemies around, right?”
“With the new ability the middle baby acquired, it chased away hostile creatures around it.”
After listening to what he said, it turned out that the Mother of Heaven had obtained Salman’s special privilege, the Lasso of the Beast God.
‘I thought you’d keep him alive until I came.’
I did not convey my intention to her directly. However, there is no way she would not know the value that Salman has. Because he is a person who can give us more information than Alshas.
However, looking at the corpse with its chest cut open, the damage was so severe that it seemed difficult to obtain information.
Obtaining information became uncertain, and privileges could not be obtained. This is quite a disappointing result considering the result of trusting in Heavenly Mother and PS-111.
‘Still, it seems like there’s something going on, so I’ll have to listen closely.’
I released the link saying I would come to the main body. As I moved my body, Isabel hurriedly approached me.
“What about your sister? “Is your sister okay?”
[Zuzzuzu zuzu zuzuzu zu (You’re fine, you don’t have to worry)]
I saw that two of his eight arms were shattered, but that wasn’t a serious injury to him. If you have the right materials, you can repair it yourself.
I flew up into the sky again with No. 26 and Isabelle.
After continuing to fly like that for some time, we arrived at the place where the three were.
“sister? “What about that leg?”
“It was damaged in combat. “We plan to improve that part using useful materials, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Please take care of yourself. Just because it’s a machine doesn’t mean it won’t die.”
Immediately after arriving, Isabel saw her sister’s damaged state and began nagging her.
「Big adult?」「Appearance」「Has it changed?」
「Big baby changed after eating big and different food!」
Aadhai glanced at me with eyes that resembled amethyst. Then No. 26 raised its tentacles and imitated a magmasaur.
「Horn」「Big」「A lot」「Good」
Eventually, the guy waved his tail as if he liked the changed appearance of his body. Looking at his tastes, I could see that he would like my appearance with the ‘Destroyer Upper’ applied.
At other times, I would have explained to him about the changes in my body, but now there are more important things to do than that.
“I thought I had something to say earlier. “Please explain what happened.”
Heavenly Mother nodded and began to explain. What happened when she fought with Salman, why she had no choice but to take advantage, etc.
‘indeed.’
The explanation wasn’t very long. But I could completely understand why she did what she did. How hard I tried to avoid the worst outcome.
In addition, the side effects of the improved version of Psionium were unexpected.
‘Besides, the privileges she received are considered income in their own way.’
It’s a pity that I didn’t get it, but I must be satisfied that Heavenly Mother did.
“I know what happened.”
“…sorry. “If I had been stronger, I would have had better results.”
“This much is enough. “Don’t blame yourself.”
I decided to end the part about Salman with that. I picked up the ranker’s lying corpse and put it in my mouth.
PS-111 said that its genes were mutated. It seems to be true. As soon as I chewed it, a horrible texture, like an eraser, greeted me. This is the first time he has eaten such tasteless food since becoming an Amorph.
It was so tasteless that I just chewed it and passed it down my throat. I waited for a while, but no reaction occurred from my body.
‘I tried it just in case, but it didn’t work.’
The mimicry organ and the host are organs that operate based on the other’s genes. It was impossible to obtain information from enemy meat that was damaged at the genetic level.
After appeasing my regret by savoring my appetite, I looked at the new friend that Heavenly Mother had brought.
“Is that mountain crawler the one Salman brought with him?”
“uh? huh.”
She looked back as if she had just remembered my question.
“Seeing how calm you are, I guess you took control.”
“Actually, it’s a bit ambiguous to call it dominance. “The perk effect has changed a bit.”
“Really?”
“Should I call it a vice principal? “In addition to simply controlling him, he can also read his emotions and memories.”
She placed her hand on the mountaincrawler’s head. Then the giant beast quietly closed its eyes. It was exactly like a pet dog feeling its owner’s touch.
“It’s a vice principal.”
“I can still feel his pain and fear. “The painful memories I experienced here.”
Her amber eyes fluttered as if sensing the mountain crawler’s senses. When I only heard about it, it seemed like it was close to being compatible with the parasitic colony I had.
‘for a moment.’
There is something about her words that bothers me.
“You said you can feel the memories now, right?”
“Yes.”
“How much detail can I know?”
“That’s… ah!”
Her eyes widened as she realized what the question meant.
That giant mountain crawler was brought by Salman. There is a high probability that the owner has been watching what he is doing here.
‘good.’
To get information, you have to first treat his wounds.
I implanted symbiotic spores into a wounded animal that was interacting with its new owner.
‘The next thing you need is a nest.’
The situation is different from what I expected, but there is no problem.
If I do well, I think I can achieve all my goals on this planet.
