I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Episode 292 – Goal (1)

–

The nickname of Walter, the head of the St. Kay family, a member of Noble Capital, is ‘Geek’.

Current Megacorp CEO Akira Eugene is also treated as something special, but the context in which Walter is called a weirdo is slightly different.

There are two main reasons why he is treated as a weirdo.

First, Walter did not undergo any genetic modification while working for Noble Capital. Although he was aided by superior weapons and precise mechanical devices, his body was pure.

Just as the people of the Eugene family believed in bloodline, he believed in the purity of the ‘human body’ itself. Although St. K’s itself has a rather conservative tendency, there are few people who avoid body modification as much as Walter.

He’s strange enough up to that point, but here’s an element that makes him even more unique.

His hobby is hunting monsters, even extremely dangerous monsters.

Usually, the head of the Noble Capital family enjoys hunting as a sport or entertainment, but they do not go out hunting monsters like Walter. This is because the death of the head of the family has a serious negative impact on the family. In fact, wasn’t the reason the Edgerton family was pushed out by T&C because they lost their head?

Even though he knows this, Walter goes out hunting only the most dangerous monsters with his bare body without any genetic modification. If he wasn’t a skilled hunter, he would have died at least dozens of times. Of course, in the eyes of other Noble Capitals, he is bound to be a crazy and eccentric person.

What was interesting was that because he enjoyed hunting, he had good relationships with other Noble Capitals.

He just enjoys catching monsters and is not interested in taking their genes. Therefore, all the rare and strong creatures he catches are sold to other families.

In fact, Walter had aspects similar to those of a bounty hunter, but paradoxically, thanks to this tendency, he was not checked by other family heads. Except for St. K, the rest of the families had no particular reason to dislike him as he regularly supplied them with rare creatures.

The second reason why he was called an eccentric was that despite his unusual personality, he got along well with other family heads.

Lee Dan-ah of Noble Capital is now meeting another monster.

A reception room installed on Akira’s flagship ‘Heavenly Sword’.

A middle-aged man with black hair and an old man with bleached-white hair are sitting at the table in the middle.

Unlike a middle-aged man with a thin physique, the old man’s body was at a level that could be described as sturdy. He was more than twice as tall as a middle-aged man, and his limbs were full of muscle and were as thick as the thighs of an adult man.

The man with a body so well maintained that it was difficult to call him an old man was none other than the eccentric Walter St. Kay.

“T&C’s matriarch asked me. “Noble Capital’s genetic modification technology can create perfect meat, but do you know why everyone is obsessed with meat from live animals?”

He picked up a piece of steak in front of him with his fork.

“He said taste is information. “When we enjoy meat, we are not simply eating it to satisfy our sense of taste, but rather eating the ‘information’ itself contained in the meat.”

After saying that, he took a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.

“Meat that came out of a factory an hour ago or meat that was raised on a ranch for ten years tastes the same, but we don’t feel that way. “Because the intangible value attached to the eating experience of meat raised on a ranch can never be replicated.”

“Did that kid say that?”

In response to the middle-aged man’s question, Walter nodded while chewing the meat.

“Experience determines the essence of things. “Isn’t that a very Saddam-like thing to say?”

“Right. It’s something he enjoys talking about. “On a business level.”

At Akira’s cynical reaction, Walter lightly snorted and swallowed the piece of meat.

“Like I said before, preparations are complete.”

“It’s fast. very good.”

“‘The best game hunter.’ “I wish I could pay for 10 Giga Crackers.”

Last time at the Dispute Resolution Team building, Walter made a deal with Akira. Since then, Walter has done one preparation.

That is, moving 10 Giga Crackers to a specific star system.

No matter how much Walter was a gin and the head of the family, it was quite a burden to use 10 of the Giga Crackers, which were the source of the family’s finances, for personal reasons. Akira would never have done such a thing if he had not invested a huge amount of personal funds to make up for the damage.

“Why are you asking me to move there? “Is he related to Vortex One?”

“no. “This guy is scarier than Vortex One.”

“…Are you serious?”

Walter, who had finished his steak, frowned at the unbelievable story.

Vortex One cannot be caught using normal methods. They are monsters so powerful that at least two families, Noble Capital and Prime Capital, must exert all their might. Walter, who had attempted to hunt Vortex One a long time ago and barely escaped, knew that fact well.

Something scarier than those monsters. I had no idea what kind of creature it was.

“Nothing like cancer. “As far as I know, he is the second most dangerous being in the universe.”

The second most dangerous being.

It was a subtle expression, but the modifier made Akira’s words sound more realistic. Walter with appetite quenched his appetite and crossed his arms.

“Hmm.”

“It will be more interesting to see this.”

When Akira snapped his fingers, a woman dressed in black appeared from somewhere and handed Walter a small chip and a computer pad. When Walter inserted the chip into the pad and activated it, a huge amount of data was output as a hologram.

“That’s a lot. “There is no way such a being was not known until now.”

“We took control of the information in the Megacorp database. “The heads of other families don’t know.”

It was blatantly saying that they were monopolizing information, but Walter didn’t bother to point it out. Because other families are doing similar things.

“He will definitely come to that place. “It will appear soon, so be prepared.”

“What is the basis for your confidence?”

“I know him well. “If he is in his current state, he will most likely try to capture Vortex One.”

“Hmm. exactly?”

Since the contract was already signed, it didn’t matter how Akira knew. He didn’t inquire further and focused on the hologram’s data.

Looking at the data alone, it was something that could be called ‘the second most dangerous entity in the universe.’ What this means is that it is not the end just because GigaCracker deployment is complete. Much more preparation is needed.

Moreover, we have to calculate that Akira might be wrong just in case.

As an excellent hunter, he knew very well that the prey does not always do what the hunter wants. There is a strong possibility that this will happen again, so we must prepare for unexpected situations.

Now that business is over, I don’t have time to stay here. He glanced at the hologram and shut down the pad.

“If you notice anything strange or have any questions, please contact me.”

With those words, Walter left the living room.

Even after sending the guest away, Akira did not get up.

‘Moffak. This time you will never be able to escape.’

He knew that hunting Vortex One was part of the evolutionary path from Ascension to Ascension.

So this time he decided to set a trap for Aimov. This means deploying 10 Giga Crackers near where Vortex Ones live.

‘If you put insurance on it…’

I had suffered great humiliation after leaving it entirely in the care of my pet Black Gallagon before. I have no intention of repeating the same mistake.

“Code Black.”

“yep. “Akira.”

“Tell the butler to follow Walter and apply.”

“All right.”

Akira thought, even sending his shadow to the butler.

‘If it’s Walter, even if he can’t kill Moffak, he can cause great damage.’

Walter St. Kay is one of the NPCs he trusts. Except for the personality that refuses genetic modification.

How could he possibly be that old even though he is 120 years old? Other family heads do not have a single wrinkle on their faces even at that age.

Even though Walter is very healthy, as he refused the genetic modification procedure, there are clear limitations unless he benefits from the technology. If I hadn’t been stubborn and talked about the purity of humans, I would have hunted a lot more powerful enemies.

‘That’s why I sent it too.’

Neither he nor the hunters under his command underwent genetic modification. That means that even if they die, there will be no benefit to Aimov.

‘Even if Walter fails to kill him, it doesn’t matter.’

Considering Walter’s skills and personality, even if he couldn’t kill him, he would still cause a lot of damage.

The moment it becomes weak, Akira plans to descend on the spot himself. Since there is a signal chip in the butler’s heart, it is not difficult to fly to where it is.

Just like he did in the game, this time he repays him in the same way.

Akira laughed quietly in the richly decorated living room.

–

“No new energy reaction in the system. “There is no pursuer.”

[Zuzuzu (Good)]

“Where do we go now?”

Gigacracker’s situation room.

PS-111, connected to hundreds and thousands of cables, asked me.

‘Now that I’m an adult, there are a few places I can go, but…’

Originally, I had a set place to go. These are the most efficient places to fulfill the evolution conditions.

However, it took an illusion I saw while evolving to go directly there.

‘I need more time.’

Anyway, it is not easy for rankers to threaten me once they have the Giga Cracker. I wonder if they set a trap properly and target me as a group.

While I was thinking about it, I saw Adhai lying face down inside the situation room.

It was preening with its red wings neatly folded and gently scratching itself with its horn. It must have sensed my gaze along the way, as it gently waved its tail and cleaned its wings more diligently.

[Zeuuu (Aadhai)]

?Big Adult??Why??

When I called, he looked at me with his beautiful amethyst-like eyes shining.

[Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (Would you like to go to a bird’s nest after a long time?)]

?Nest??Nest???Really??

It seemed like he wasn’t expecting what I said at all. The startled guy got up from his seat.

?Really???Really??

[Zu (Yes)]

?I??Young compatriots??I want to see you!?

Currently, the tracking of the enemy has been cut off. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to stop by the planet where Aadhai’s group migrated.

‘It would be nice to go to the place where the friends of No. 26 are, but it would be difficult.’

Planet PH-101, where he previously gained the power of the Sea Demon and communicated with several bubble amoebas.

It is a planet designated as a sacred place by cults, so it is difficult to take the Giga Cracker there. If that happens, the cults will never stay still.

“I want to see the babies too!”

Luckily, No. 26 didn’t seem to be dissatisfied with seeing Aadhai’s group. In fact, the thought of seeing small blue gallagons made me feel happy.

When I finally looked at Heavenly Mother, she responded by shrugging her shoulders.

‘It’s decided.’

[Zuuuu zzuzu zzu zzuzu (to the place where Aadhai’s people are)]

“I understand.”

After giving a short answer, the guy lowered his head. The light escaped from the guy’s red eyes.

PS-111 was able to move its body freely while operating a normal ship thanks to several modifications to its mechanical parts. However, it was difficult to control the Gigacracker in the same way as it was much larger than a regular ship and had many facilities to manage.

“Then, we will prepare for a faster-than-light voyage.”

[Zuzuzuzu (please ask)]

His voice came out from the computer in the situation room, mixed with several other voices. This phenomenon occurred because the ship AI was synchronized and used as an auxiliary brain.

[Zuzuzu (wait a minute)]

?Huh??

[Zuzuzu zuzu (I have something to tell you)]

I called the Mother of Heaven as I took the heads I had put in the situation room back into the hallway. Returning to her griffon beast form, she followed me as I walked across the ruins I created while moving.

“It’s a problem if the body is too big.”

[Zuzuzu (yes)]

I’m glad that Giga Cracker is big and strong. With that in mind, I took her to the cargo hold.

?So what do you want to talk about??

[zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu zuzu zuzu (I think I need to change my immediate goal)]

?Goal? Weren’t you aiming for ascension?」

[Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (I used to say that, but now I’m holding off)]

She tilts her head as if she doesn’t understand what I’m saying.

[Zuzuz, zuzuzu, zuzuzu, zuzu (I had visions even when I was an adult)]

?You mean past memories that you said you saw before? Have you seen it again this time?」

[Zuzuzuz Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzu Zuzuzu Zuzu ZuzuZuzzu (This time, it’s not a memory from the past. Another ‘me’ appeared and tried to kill me)] ?What?

?

I I explained to her in detail the vision I had seen.

Pain that felt like fantasy and reality that happened in the space where I really lived.

‘I’ who asks me to choose whether to kill myself or be killed by myself, etc.

She had serious eyes and listened to everything from beginning to end without saying a word. Even after the story was over, she was lost in thought for a while before opening her mouth.

“…How do you plan to check? I haven’t gotten to that stage yet.”

[Zuz, zuzu, zuzu, zuzuzu (to ask other players)]

“Other players? Are you going to go on a player hunt?」

[Zuzuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzuzuzu (no, first, let’s start with this guy)]

「This guy?」

As I said that, the genetic essence that had been stored in my body for the longest time pulled out.

The second player I successfully hunted, and the one who had already killed two other rankers.

A cult ranker who was Muriel’s supporter and enemy of the Heavenly Mother.

The being broke the cocoon around my stomach and legs and fell to the floor.

“■■ Ugh, Mr. Amov. Did you call me?”

Inmyeonchung, reborn with the genes of cult player Jason, bowed his head to me.
