Episode 299 – Infiltration (2)
‘It was close.’
I almost got caught. Thanks to good timing, I was able to board the battleship.
I’ve sneaked into the game to attack Berzan 02 before, but I’ve never searched this thoroughly before.
‘Plus, the detection system has been upgraded.’
They tried to break through the ‘dark curtain’ using all kinds of detection equipment and psychic power technology. If I had stayed in the adult state, there was a high possibility that I would have caught it.
While the dark curtain was disrupting the enemy’s detection net, I used the trait ‘Organic Evolution’ to transform my body into a completely different form. It is a ‘clever weakling’ that reduces its body to less than 5m and provides a stealth effect.
‘Is this the first time you’ve become an adult and turned into a clever weakling?’
I checked my body condition while hanging on the outer wall of a large warship.
Previously, when he transformed into a clever weakling, his body shape was similar to that of a centaur. Even after transformation after becoming an adult, the approximate form was similar. Except for the two fighting arms and the small chest arm, the remaining arms became legs, and the entire body was covered with shaggy fur.
The difference is first of all the head and neck. The necks, which were long before transformation, have shrunk significantly. In particular, the two heads on either side were so close to the shoulders that the neck was barely visible.
The common shape of the heads is that the occipital carapace area is greatly reduced. Only the head carapace was lost, but the auxiliary organs under the chin and the tusk horns remained. The monster’s tentacles on the neck and back of the head mixed with the fur and flowed down like ponytails.
The only part that has changed other than the head is the tail.
Like the head, there were still two, but the thickness became thinner and the length became shorter. The biocannon attached to the left tail also disappeared and took the form of a snake’s tail. The pincer tail on the right remained reduced in size.
‘Once inside the shield…’
I returned the shape of the horn I used to pierce the shield to its original shape. The pointed horns on the head, resembling those of Gallagon, changed into a curved and rough shape. It was the effect of a ‘variable biological weapon’ that could change body parts as desired.
‘Because Gallagon’s horn nullifies the psychic shield.’
Thanks to this, even with his small body, he could easily pierce the shield.
‘If I had transformed and lost my horns, I would have been in real trouble.’
The only traits that cannot be used while in smart weak state are ‘Nightmare Horizon’, ‘Complex Spectral Body’, ‘Black Devourer Cannon’, and ‘Medusa Organ’. In addition to this, due to the disappearance of wings-like parts of the body, characteristics related to faster-than-light navigation were also banned.
The same goes for variable biological weapons. Since the head carapace has been greatly reduced and the wings have disappeared, it cannot be replaced with Ice Horror’s head carapace or Gallagon’s wings.
‘There is a part that cannot be changed, but where is it?’
As I was checking the horns that had returned to their original state, the Mother of Heaven quietly lifted her head from under my legs.
?Do you know what happens if you get caught in the middle of the shield when it is restored??
[Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (cut off)]
?You may survive even if your body is cut off, but that’s the end for me, right??
Taking the form of a griffon beast, she is the fleet’s detection system. To avoid it, it came in hiding between my four legs.
[Zuz, zuzu, zuzu (I was lucky)]
?Lucky? I heard you calculated it earlier?”
[Zuz, zuzu, zuzu, zuzu, zuzu, zuzu (That’s what they say. Let’s move slowly.)]
“Ugh.”
She glanced at me with her captivating amber eyes and crawled under my body again.
So we moved close to the outer wall, keeping our breath in sync.
The effect of ‘Unknown Creature’s Fur’, a clever weakling’s perk, is to provide a hiding effect through the long fur on the entire body.
Since she had no stealth skills, I had to cover and protect her while moving. If she stepped out of her long fur, she would be caught by the ship’s external cameras, so she had no choice but to move slowly.
[Zuzuzuzzuzu(Isn’t it frustrating?)]
?It’s okay. Are you really uncomfortable?」 fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
[Zuzu (not really)]
She plans to move around like a beast doll for a while. I brought the necessary equipment to make up for my lack of combat power. The backpack she carries on her back contains the priest’s golden spear and MPS-05.
Thanks to this, the short folded spear stabbed the inside of my front leg, but it wasn’t enough to bother me.
She and I walk together between the black sky and the ivory earth.
One of the unique features of cult ships is their ornate decorations and beautiful colors. The characteristics of a typical cult ship were also reflected in the ship we boarded. The hull, made of Moonsilver alloy, shined vividly in ivory color, and its surface was full of geometric patterns.
That pattern was not created simply for decoration. It’s only on the outside, but if you look inside, you’ll find it’s full of mechanical parts. The cult ship’s decorations are a type of functional device installed to amplify the ship’s psychic power capabilities, such as shields.
‘Including external cameras.’
Avoiding the lenses disguised with complex patterns, I continued to look for a passageway into the ship.
‘It should be around here.’
While walking with my body lowered, I discovered a slightly protruding part of my auxiliary organ.
‘found.’
On the outside, it looked no different from any other exterior wall, but an empty space was detected inside. This is the space where the anti-aircraft guns needed to deal with small ships are placed.
‘Let’s go in here first.’
I transformed my right arm into that of a Hellside Hornet. The joints of the arm were twisted and the four fingers were crumpled and sucked into the carapace. Next, a bone resembling a huge sickle protruded from where the palm had been.
The Hellside Hornet’s scythe, boasting terrifying sharpness, is now in my hands. Then, the tip of the sickle was driven into the inside of the protruding part.
Small sparks appear in the plywood covering the anti-aircraft guns, revealing cracks. I put my front leg and left arm into the gap and opened it wide.
Even though I was having a hard time, it was enough space for Heavenly Mother to enter. She read what I meant and quickly jumped inside.
After letting her in, I forced the plywood open and went inside. As soon as I let go, the plywood closed automatically.
The first thing I saw when I entered the ship was a gun the size of my body. The next thing I saw was the dazed face of the cult gunner beyond the gun barrel.
He was staring blankly at me and the Heavenly Mother. Seeing that he was holding a cup in his hand, it looked like he had just come back from the gun room for a break.
“I…!”
Sharp emotions return to his widened eyes and his body resumes movement.
A cup containing a drink falls from the cultist’s hand. His hand moves up to grab something instead of a cup. He was trying to put the headphone-type communication device that was hanging on the horn of a goat into his ear.
At that time, the Mother of Heaven hurled out the priest’s golden spear at lightning speed. A golden javelin pierced his throat, and the only sound that came out of his mouth was the sound of wind.
“…her!”
His suffering did not last long. I beheaded him with my sickle-armed right arm and lifted his head. I removed the communicator from the horn and swallowed the remaining head.
“No. 15 naval gun. “What’s going on?”
I answered into the low-pitched communicator.
“it’s nothing. “It appears that the protective wall has malfunctioned.”
?Malfunction??
“The shield was damaged when it was hit by an incoming meteorite.”
“Right. First, report it to the knowledge manager.
“I understand.”
After roughly finishing the conversation, I shut down the communicator.
Heavenly Mother, who was next to me, breathed a sigh of relief.
“I never thought I would run into the gunner when I came in.”
“So.”
I started eating the headless corpse to destroy the evidence.
Perhaps because it has three heads, the food in its hands disappears in an instant. No trace was left where the cult shooter was.
“What did you call a mimicry organ? “That’s always creepy.”
“How useful is this?”
“…I won’t say anything. Anyway, since it arrived, take it.”
“Thank you.”
She took out a mini screamer about twice the size of a human face from her backpack. Named MPS-05, its body contains interstellar communication devices separated from the Screamer support ship.
‘That’s why he’s a little bigger than the other kids.’
However, it was impossible, no matter how small, to completely implant a communication device into this small body. It was never easy to send a signal to Gigacracker across dozens or hundreds of star systems.
So, the kids are currently hiding not in Giga Cracker, but in an asteroid in a star system adjacent to the Aur star system. This is because he calculated that communication with the Mini Screamer would be possible at that distance.
I returned my arm back to normal and was handed a mini screamer.
The one with her eyes closed like a princess from a fairy tale. The reason there is no reaction at all is because it has entered a dormant state.
Thanks to the implantation of interstellar communication functions, MPS-05 can move by receiving commands from a distant main body. However, if you do such a thing inside the ship, there is a high possibility that it will be caught by enemies due to the radio waves generated by its body.
To prevent this, I ported two characteristics to MPS-05.
‘Neural junctions and wavelength mimicry.’
The environmental adaptation characteristic, ‘wavelength imitation’, was something I originally possessed, and ‘neural junction’ is an internal organ characteristic I acquired again while exploring the underground kingdom of Gallagon. If I didn’t have these two characteristics, I wouldn’t have thought of bringing him over.
I acted the way PS-111 told me in advance.
‘Connect the circuit first and then apply power.’
When I tore off the chair in front of the anti-aircraft gun, I could see cables neatly organized under the plywood. I separated some of it with the small arm of the chest and connected it to the port on the back of the MPS-05’s head.
‘And then…’
While I was working, Heavenly Mother kept watch to see if anyone else came nearby.
After attaching a bunch of cable mechanisms to the guy’s body, I put my finger in his mouth.
Unlike humans, when I pressed the manual switch inside its dry mouth, MPS-05 began to tremble.
“Is it done?”
“I said I would have to wait.”
He and I set up the neural junction to automatically activate when energy is supplied to the MPS-05. The reason it trembles is because its body is being adjusted to the ship’s equipment.
‘I will prepare wavelength imitation along with him.’
By analyzing and imitating various types of signals and radio waves generated from the ship, it is possible to prevent communication with the outside world. Unless the Mechanical Committee directly analyzes all signals, it is nearly impossible to find signals from those that imitate wavelengths.
‘As long as he has this trait, he won’t get caught.’
After waiting for about 10 minutes, the guy opened his eyes. The eye with the red camera lens blinked a few times and captured the image of Mother Sky and me.
“peristalsis. check.”
“It’s a success.”
“Is this really happening?”
“Because he’s a special guy.”
“Special! Special!”
This completes the preliminary preparations for the Berzan 02 infiltration operation.
Now, all that’s left is to search through the information stored on the ship and find a ship that can safely enter Berzan 02.
There are two elements needed for this.
‘Computer hacking and….’
Knowledge manager. he needs it
A knowledge manager, a position that only exists in a cult, is a living computer and a treasure trove of knowledge. In particular, a knowledge manager aboard a ship monitoring the star system would know a lot about Berzan 02’s defense system.
‘Plus, you might be able to get information about the planet’s internal situation.’
What are the weaknesses, what enemies or elements should I be concerned about, and is there anything different from the game?
All of this information is essential for conquering the planet. Right now, I’m here to meet number 22, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to know the strategy in advance.
“I’ll leave the computer part to you. Please take care of me.”
“Leave it to me. possible.”
The next target for me and the Mother of Heaven is the knowledge manager aboard the ship.
