Chapter 380
“Megacorp officially designated colony LV-06. Are you thinking of going here?”
[Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (Yes, to go to the genetic research center attached to the colony)]
“A genetic research center. “It gets me interested.”
PS-111 blinked its eyes made of camera lenses in front of a hologram device made from ship materials. I seemed to like where I was going next.
‘It’s worth it.’
Megacorp constantly improves the inhabitants of each colony according to their purposes.
For example, the inhabitants of human resource production planets are conditioned to be more sexually active. In the case of humans used as material for Hulk mutants, they are produced with high violence and low intelligence.
The genetic research facility is responsible for designing the genes of the residents to suit the colony’s purposes. As a result, genetic samples from various species are stored.
From PS-111’s perspective, this is the first time they have encountered a large number of genetic samples since the Screamer support ship of Pyrrha Eleven, the highest member of the Star Union.
You can’t help but like it because it’s a golden opportunity to upgrade your body.
‘Because it’s not the solar system, there won’t be genetic samples that are difficult to obtain.’
If you go to the Megacorp database on the moon, you may be able to obtain samples of Apex organisms, but it is unreasonable to expect that from an ordinary colony research base. The focus should be on quantity and diversity rather than quality.
“If it’s a Colonial Studies Center, can we get additional ‘Revenant Institutes’?”
The Heavenly Mother who came up from underground asked me.
Thanks to the ‘Double Helix Monolith’ obtained as a space monster type level 2 reward, I was able to transplant up to 2 traits to her and the kids.
The characteristics she wants are ‘Revenant Agency’ and ‘Superior Homeostasis’. The latter of these was able to be transplanted safely thanks to catching a few more Pyromancers before the pirates arrived.
Thanks to the ‘Fountain of Life’ characteristic of the phantom beast ‘Thunderbird’ as well as superior homeostasis, her survival ability has increased dramatically. Unless your head and heart are destroyed like mine, you won’t die instantly.
‘Getting the Revenant Organization here will be the icing on the cake.’
Of course, it is unclear whether it will be possible to secure the Revenant Organization by going to LV-06.
[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (I guess I’ll have to go there to find out. This is a place I’ve never been to)]
「Well, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that planet in a game either.」
She nodded, looking at the holographic map.
‘The destination has been decided. Then how should I go?’
It would be nice to fly at faster than light speed like we always do, but this time things are a little different.
Because of the new friend at my feet.
‘It’s difficult to move with a mountain crawler.’
Its body size is similar to mine, but it weighs more than me. It is impossible to sail at faster than light speed while carrying it bare-handed.
‘It’s difficult to move to starlight coordinates.’
For starlight coordinates, the time it takes to stop moving after moving increases depending on the size of the target. If you were to move a creature similar to me, it would be unable to move for at least a few days. If an unexpected problem arises in the meantime, it becomes very difficult.
‘I guess that’s the only way here.’
I approached the pirate ship that Se-chan was pulling.
The ship, with its impressive streamlined design unique to Megacorp, was 500 meters long. Compared to my body length, it is approximately 6 to 7 times the size.
‘Then, shall we go in?’
I held onto both sides of the hole made by PS-111 with my wing arms. He used his arms to widen the hole and put the three heads in first.
“Why is Amorph doing that?”
“It looks like they are trying to use that technology for the first time in a long time.”
“They are trying to erode the ship and take control.”
“corrosion?”
When I was halfway inside the ship, I pulled the tentacle out. In the process, many of the ship’s facilities were ruined, but it didn’t matter. After all, every element of this ship will be reorganized according to my will.
「What is it?」「Just now」「What is it?」
[zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (time to wake up)]
「Adult?」
[zuzuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzu (I’m leaving here, get ready)]
The guy nodded, rubbing his eyes with his paw.
‘Now all that’s left is...’
「Grumbling」
「Don’t worry.」
It is a mountain crawler that has come to the ground. It fixed its four eyes on me and sniffed.
「Geuwoo」
The appearance may have changed, but the smell will remain the same. After a while, the mountain crawler let down its guard and approached me. I opened a large door at the rear of the ship and brought him and Heavenly Mother into it.
The boat swayed slightly when he got on, but soon regained stability.
“are you okay? Can you move?」
[Zuzuzuzu zuzuzu (this is okay)]
「...The problem is that your body is too big.」
That giant mountain crawler survived the explosion of an antimatter bomb. That level of defense would be of great help only in ground battles, but there is a problem.
‘It’s so big that it’s not easy to carry around.’
Now, thanks to Nightmare Horizon, you can easily take him with you, but if the attribute goes on cooldown, that becomes impossible. After attacking the Colony Research Center, you will have to wait a long time to move that giant creature.
‘Or mobilize Giga Cracker.’
A Giga Cracker that can easily transport large quantities of minerals can be easily moved even with a Mountain Crawler.
[Zuz zuuu zuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzu (let’s go to Aadhai’s house first and leave him there)]
「What should I feed him?」 [Zuz zuuu zuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (let’s go to Aadhai’s house first and leave him there)] 「What should I feed him?」
[Zuzzuzuu zuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzu (let’s go to Aadhai’s house first and leave him there)] 「What should I feed him?」 [Zuzzuzuu zuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzu (let’s go to Aadhai’s house first and leave him behind)] 「What should I feed him? )]
“I’m thinking of asking the Coldbloods for a favor.”
There are also Coldbloods who live on the ice planet along with the Gallagons. If you ask them to take care of the mountain crawler for a while, it will be able to last for a while.
After everyone boarded, I looked at Se-chan, who was left alone.
‘Should I take that guy too?’
His connections can be quite useful when entering LV-06. That would be better than eating it here. I ordered a parasite and brought him on board the boat as well.
‘good.’
All preparations to leave have been completed.
I focused my attention on controlling the ship I had taken over. Plasma made from my biological energy is spewing out from the thruster.
The hull rose upward with a strange feeling of floating, different from when flying with wings. Then, like a bullet leaving the barrel of a gun, my body pierced the cloud of volcanic ash that filled the sky.
Behind me I see a star full of fire and ash. After finishing everything at Asuka 44, I ran towards the dark space.
–
After the black spaceship left Asuka 44, the rocks floating in space began to move.
「The ‘predator’ asked for the ‘second bait.’ 」
Its identity is the Queen of Outspacers.
A queen, whose size was much smaller than that of an ordinary queen, was observing the outside while hiding her body in the rock fragments.
「The aircraft presumed to be a ‘predator’ has escaped.」
「His seed, still not confirmed.」
「There is no hindrance to the plans of the Empress and the ‘Great Enemy.’ 」
The Queen approached the halo of light left behind by the black spaceship in a very cautious manner. Several thin tentacles emerged from the queen’s body and touched the residual energy generated by the faster-than-light voyage.
“‘Predators’ are dangerous. So, be careful and track it down.”
“It has improved since the last encounter, so there is no problem.”
“The ‘predator’ is dangerous. “Move carefully.”
Just before the remaining energy disappeared, the queen’s body glowed blue.
Soon after, the queen also disappeared, leaving behind only blue light and stone fragments.
A word from the author (author review) 「Nightmare Horizon: Your hunting ground is not limited to one planet. Increases the effectiveness of unique traits you possess. You can use ‘Erosion Tentacles’, which allow you to control your spaceship by eroding it.
*Affected by: Embodiment of the Hunt (duration increased to 20 minutes), Organic Evolution (unlocks special condition ‘Clever Weak’), Great Infector (increased limit of enhancements), Dragon’s Heart (trait that consumes psychic power) Increased power), Herald of Chaos (increased application range and power), Complex Spectral Body (cooldown reduced to 30 minutes), Medusa Organ (can control enemy genetic mutation rate), variable biological weapon (can also transform erosive tentacles), black Devourer Cannon (Reduced energy consumption)
*’Erosion Tentacle’: Erosions the spaceship, turning it into a composite creature controlled by the user’s consciousness. While connected to a spaceship, you can ‘use some of the physical attributes’. When the user runs out of stored energy, the attribute effect is automatically canceled. Erosion Tentacles can only be used once per 7 days and once per spaceship.
*Available Flesh-related Traits: Regeneration, Mimicry, Claws, Reaper’s Maw, Complex Prism, Destroyer Carapace, Exothermic Spiked Armor
*Note: Cannot be canceled until the ship’s erosion has been completed.
*PS: ‘Nightmare’ is just a word. In reality, it’s much more terrifying. Watch next episode.”
