Chapter 390
The black clouds surrounding me and the kids keep flashing.
The plasma heat rays fired by the enemy fleet are penetrating the ‘dark curtain’.
Although they haven’t hit us yet, we can’t be complacent. The enemies are rankers that I have fought with dozens of times in the past. He must be fully aware of the method of destroying the Dark Veil.
Before the enemies broke through the curtain and attacked, I took out a powerful card. It is a trait that dramatically increases my combat power, ‘Embodiment of the Hunt’.
My vision is dark. I can feel the hard carapace surrounding my eyes and the auxiliary organs under my chin. The moment the carapace surrounding the auxiliary organ took the shape of a blade, my detection area exploded.
Warships charging plasma from afar, large and small aircraft approaching the dark curtain, movements of PS-111 and Isabelle riding on my back, etc. Reinforced auxiliary organs capture all kinds of elements.
I could even vividly feel the healing process of the wounds on my body. As I concentrated my senses, the changed physical condition was quickly transmitted to the brain through auxiliary organs.
I was familiar with changes such as a body that had grown to a length that easily exceeded 100 meters, a mouth with pharyngeal jaws, and bony sickle arms protruding from the waist, as I had experienced them several times. What has changed is that the colors have become more diverse thanks to the ‘Destroyer Upper’.
‘good.’
After completing my transformation, I swept my body once with my forked tail. The projectiles fired at me by the outspacers equipped with bio-cannons fell straight out.
「Strengthening the body, confirmation. Combat power, expected to rise. Instead, it increases in size and is vulnerable to shooting.”
“Don’t worry. sister. “Hey, avoidance is my specialty.”
As Isabelle and PS-111 were talking about the symbolism of hunting, a sudden change occurred in the veil of darkness.
‘This?’
An invisible force was pressing the black fog and pushing it into one place. As if trying to condense the dark veil into a small size.
‘indeed.’
The dark shroud nullifies detection systems. Therefore, if you hide behind the curtain, it becomes impossible to aim the ship’s guns.
However, the effect of the veil is to make it undetectable and does not nullify the attack itself. There is no protective effect against incoming heat rays.
And in places where the curtain affects, an unobservable area mark appears on the detection system as if it was erased with an eraser. This means that if you fire indiscriminately into an unobservable area without special aiming, you can attack me.
Now, the Screamers created using Jason as material are using their psychic power to shrink the veil itself.
As the size of the veil decreased, an intense energy response moved closer to my head at very high speed. I slightly twisted my head to the side in the middle to avoid the heat ray.
‘Accuracy is increasing.’
It’s time to take out the next card.
[Zuzuzuzuzu zzuzuzu zzu (I’ll move soon, just do as I say)]
After moving the monster’s tentacles and sending waves to the kids, I used my next trait.
–
“Akira. Star Union’s screamer succeeded in targeting the target.”
Akira, sitting on the throne on the bridge, looked at the map implemented as a hologram. There was nothing visible, as if only one point of the normally implemented hologram had an error.
The Eugene family’s flagship ‘Heavenly Sword’ is equipped with a state-of-the-art detection system. Unless it is a special case like a black hole, you cannot escape the sight of the Heavenly Sword.
That’s why everyone was confused by the abnormally formed black fog. Except Akira.
“You don’t know how much I suffered because of that guy’s abilities.”
“Is that so?”
The newly appointed Code Black tilted his head at Akira’s words.
The entity that cults call the ‘Three-Headed Demon’ is unknown in everything except its name. Her superiors are talking about creatures that are not even in the Megacorp database as if they are familiar with them.
But Akira had no intention of answering her questions.
“Of course, thanks to that, I was able to prepare for the attack, so I’m just thankful.”
In addition to the Screamer, we have prepared several means to neutralize his dark veil. I was prepared to win no matter what he came up with. Even the perks he might have.
He stared at the hologram for a moment and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
“What happened to the shadows?”
“Everyone is ready to go immediately.”
“What about the controlled outspacers?”
“The lower-level entities maintained their defensive formation, and the higher-level entities ‘Queen’s Guard’ completed their recovery. “The special entity is deploying a warp interdiction field.”
Currently, a large army of Outspacers is moving here along with the Megacorp fleet.
Before coming here, Akira announced that he had succeeded in controlling the Outspacers using the secret technique prepared by the Eugene family. So the fleet crew knows that it is the Outspacer Corps secretly trained by the Eugene family.
Of course, they are actually troops supported by the 4th rank Empress, but Akira is the only one here who knows that fact.
“Akira. “The target is moving.”
At that time, a change occurred in the holographic map. The enemy mark had begun to move in the area marked blank due to the darkness.
“Then we will move too.”
“So be it.”
Code Black bowed his head politely and left the bridge. This is to command other shadows waiting on the ship to hunt the enemy.
After she left, the vice-captain took command in her stead.
“The enemy can spread microscopic substances that can disable high-tech devices. “Concentrate on checking and manning patrol ships and aircraft carriers, and let battleships maintain long-distance shooting formation!”
Akira rested his hand on his chin and looked at the holographic map.
In fact, he didn’t have high hopes for Code Black, who had already retired, or for the shadows on the ship. Although the newly created shadows have been upgraded and have much better equipment than their predecessors, they are difficult to deal with against Aimorph.
But it still didn’t matter. Because their role was not to defeat Aimov, but to ‘defeat’ him. The defeat of the shadows will lead them into a fatal trap.
‘Then struggle as much as you can…huh?’
Just as I was about to smile that everything was going according to plan, a new sign appeared on the hologram.
“Confirmed by the majority of enemies!”
There were five red marks on the map indicating enemies, not just one.
‘Are they his pets?’
Thanks to the disaster that occurred in the Cult Empire’s Berzan 02, I already knew that he was not alone. Akira heard that it was taking as slaves the unusual-looking Sea Demon, the small, deformed Gallagon, and Wolf Ranker, whom Jason had missed while hunting.
‘Was he hiding?’
Considering Eimoff’s size, hiding a pet would be very easy. The only problem is why there are five enemies shown on the map.
Sea demons that live in the deep sea are unable to travel into space. Unless you are riding on Amorph, you cannot move alone in this space.
Therefore, it is normal for only three characters to be displayed: Gallagon, Wolf Ranker, and Amorph.
After a while, the video information recorded by the aircraft and patrol ships was synchronized with the flagship’s hologram. An enemy swimming in a weightless world appeared in the center of the hologram.
“Enemy entity confirmed… oops! A total of three identical entities have been confirmed!”
And there were a total of three Eimovs there.
‘…divided?’
Three single-headed adult Aimorphs were charging towards the fleets of the three races.
–
‘It looks like you’re confused as expected.’
The enemies who were focusing their firepower on me are confused. I’m doing this because the goal was suddenly split into three.
‘Because you probably didn’t know about the existence of the Hydra division.’
The ‘Hydra Division’ obtained by preying on Alshas has never been exposed to the enemy until now. The rankers probably weren’t properly prepared for the cloning ability.
So you have to eliminate your target while the enemy is confused. I accelerated towards the enemy’s main force in the distance.
The patrol ships and aircraft that were keeping me in check nearby rallied to block me. Some of them fired objects much smaller than the aircraft.
‘It’s a combat drone.’
When fighting ships, combat drones are not a very good means of attack when fighting biological enemies like me. Nevertheless, what the enemy has revealed means that they are prepared. Either they used a gravitational field forming device to tie my movements, or they added a ‘Blood River’.
「1 o’clock, 7 o’clock direction, river set, be careful.’
Isabelle warned me with her ‘Universal Eye’ activated.
I opened my mouth wide in the direction he spoke. The acidic fungal glands located inside the throat go into action immediately. The strongly acidic fungal liquid stored inside spews out and travels across space.
The enemies try to disperse when they see the acidic fungus flying in the form of a heat ray. However, some of them could not move properly as if they were blocked by something. This is because the intangible radio waves caused a malfunction in the propellers on the drone and ship.
And the radio waves were coming from the back of the ‘left head’ behind me.
The time it takes to neutralize an enemy with ‘radiation disruption’ is not very long, but it doesn’t matter. That’s enough time for my acid breath and Adhai hiding behind the ‘left head’ to attack.
Drones touched by the acidic breath instantly melted and disappeared. Some of them had bombs built into them, causing huge explosions. Other enemies tried their best to avoid being caught in the drone’s explosion.
A red star attacked the side of the enemy who was busy dodging.
The dragon queen in a red dress dances while flying between aircraft carriers and patrol ships. The aircraft was shot down by ramming it with the body, and the small-sized drone was taken down with psychic breath. The enemies were helpless because of the simple movements that were not wasteful.
While their comrades were dying, the patrol ships tried to fall back by firing suppressive fire at Adhai. However, that wasn’t a wise method.
「Grrrrr」
The left head fiercely bared its teeth and charged at the patrol ships.
Duplicates created through Hydra division have limited use of their traits, but are by no means inferior in physical abilities. The left head withstood the rain of plasma bullets with its body and narrowed the distance to the enemy.
And they barbarically ravaged their enemies. It used every part of its body, including the horns on its head, its fighting arms, its tail, and even its two legs, to tear the ships to pieces. The wounds and damaged energy received during the fight were compensated for by eating enemy ships.
「Adult on the left」「Another enemy」「I’ll catch you」
「Grrr」
As soon as Aadhai spoke, a huge amount of plasma heat rays flew out. The enemy’s main force abandoned our troops here and opened fire.
Of course, thanks to the symbol of hunting, my senses were strengthened, and I was able to read the enemy’s movements one step ahead. The left head, which received my thoughts, performed evasive maneuvers with Adhai and induced the battleships to attack.
As the plasma heat rays fired by the battleships’ main guns poured down like a rain of arrows, screamers and outspacers blocked us.
「Psychic, power, gravity, control, be careful.」
It was Screamer who attacked first. Screamer, which used cult rankers as ingredients, released powerful psychic power. A sense of weight is felt in a space that should be empty. Seeing that the pressure had increased compared to before, it seemed like the output had been increased to match my body, which had been strengthened as a symbol of hunting.
‘But there are experts in psychic power here too.’
There is a powerful psychic power user behind me that not even a cult can overcome. Number 26, who had been following with a reduced body size, inflated his body to enter the battle.
The psychic power flowing through his body spreads out in all directions. That amount and concentration exceeded the output of dozens of screamers. The psychic power that had been attacking me was broken without a sound.
At the same time, something went wrong with some of the screamers who were pressuring me. The collision with No. 26’s psychic power must have been such a huge blow that some of their brains became enlarged and turned to mush. The AI that controls life support devices and the body is alive and well, but it will be difficult to use psychic powers right now.
The remaining Screamers concentrated their psychic power and turned it into weapons. Various offensive psychic techniques, including Pain Spear, were implemented in the air.
Number 26, who saw this, let out a wave of frustration and anger.
“go away!”
A huge wave of psychic energy erupted along with the waves and swept the front.
I was trying to move forward, leaving behind the fight between No. 26 and the Screamers, but this time the outspacers flew at me.
A 40m-tall Outspacer is seen with its severed arm restored to its original state, and flying monsters are seen behind it trying to support it with a bio-cannon.
‘I’m sorry, but I’m not your opponent.’
While I and the left head were attracting attention, the detoured ‘right head’ and the Heavenly Mother ambushed a group of flying monsters. The right head grabbed the outspacers with its fighting arms and legs, then bit the enemies with its sharp teeth.
The large outspacer saw this and turned to save his people.
“Okay, Listal Wing. Hellside, Hornet. Par, Iromancer. gene. Be careful.」
[Zuzuzu (did you hear?)]
As the large outspacer got closer to the right side of the head, the Mother of Heaven, who had been holding herself behind the horn, appeared.
In her beast form, her eyes were filled with a cold, pale blue flame instead of the beautiful amber color. Wendigo’s unique ability, ‘Ice Demon’, which drives the opponent crazy and forces a one-on-one match, has been activated.
“I heard you well, don’t worry. “I’ll take charge of this guy.”
A large outspacer possessed by an evil spirit let out a silent roar and charged at Gryphon Wolf. The Mother of Heaven, riding on Eimov’s head, drew out the priest’s golden spear and faced the enemy.
There are no more interruptions now. I flew to where the main force of the fleet was gathered.
The fire from the Megacorp and Star Union fleets continued to pour in, but it did not stop. Sometimes I avoided it and sometimes I just held on with my body.
When the distance to the enemy main force got closer, Isabel suddenly warned me.
「Head, danger!」
‘Huh?’
Hearing the urgent warning, I quickly turned my head to the side. Without any warning, my left horn just melted away.
‘How can this be?’
A weapon that changes the structure of matter with an invisible attack. I’ve seen it once before.
‘Isabel’s pistol.’
I can feel small humanoid objects moving between the Megacorp battleships. Judging from the movement, it looks like a human wearing a reinforced suit.
‘Egerton’s Silver Lion Knights, or…’
「Eugene. Genes, modified humans.”
The identity of the person who attacked me was a shadow I had fought before.
The Eugene family’s elite assassins came with ranker weapons to hunt me.
