I Became an Evolving Space Monster Chapter 63

“Damn it! Peter! Charlie!”

Vicus, the vice commander of the Lion Knights, continued to attempt communication. However, the sounds emanating from the communication device were nothing but ominous static.

The last ssage he received was from Peter, informing him that his colleagues Milburn and Fifeild had perished. Since then, there has been no word from Peter or Charlie. This could only an one thing –they might all have been wiped out

“This won’t do. I need to dispatch the knights quickly and report about this to the Lord,” Vicus quickly summoned the waiting knights. With the troops guarding Denver and those investigating security dispatched elsewhere, he had a force of only 20 knights at imdiate disposal.

The ard knights filed into the spacious guest room allotted to the Vice commander, each removing their helts. The knights were of different races and gender—among them there were, a fair-skinned woman with reddish-blonde hair, a caucasian man with black hair, and a black-skinned man with a shaved head.

Despite their differences they all shared one common trait: their exceptional facial features and their towering height.

While the public praised Denver for prioritizing his image, Vicus knew the truth.

They were the results of genetic enhancents under Denver’s directives, known as the Hulk Mutant Project

“Vice commander, did you call for ?” The black-skinned man respectfully bowed before Vicus, drawing him back to the present. Vicus briefed them on the situation

“The situation is dire. We’ve lost contact with the team assigned to protect the police officer under Lord’s orders.”

“What?”

“We sent Charlie, Peter, Milburn, and Fifield to the hospital. Since Peter’s last communication five minutes ago, no one else has responded.”

Silence fell among the Lion Knights. Everyone present in that room knew the extent of the force of the Lion Knights. Therefore, the news that four of their own had fallen was not sothing they could easily overlook.

“So, I will report to the Lord imdiately. Jacob, I entrust the command of these n to you in my absence.”

“I will do my best, sir.”

“…for such an incident to occur right before the council eting.”

After sending the knights to the hospital, Vicus hurriedly headed towards the banquet hall.

“The Lord wishes for Samdan Chemblin to beco the CEO, and now this happens.”

As Denver’s closest confidant, Vicus was well aware of what he was aiming for. Before coming to this city, Denver had t Samdan in advance to discuss how the council eting would proceed. During the discussions, Samdan expressed high expectations for his daughter Laila, and Denver understood Samdan’s intentions.

Although Vicus wasn’t sure how Laila felt about it, he had no ill feelings towards her. Therefore, before coming here, he made many preparations to assist her.

With all the preparations done, now only the smooth progress of the council eting remained. Yet, such a major incident occurred.

“Finding out who killed the knights in the hospital is important, but the more important thing here was…”

The fact that an agent of Pri Capital died on the territory of Noble Capital.

Competitors of Samdam are not likely to let go of such a good opportunity. If they just let this slide, it will undoubtedly be talked about.

Before the CEO election between T&C and Eden, the CEOs traditionally engage in a verbal battle. While conspiracy and plots are expected during the CEO voting process, any irregularities on the surface were unheard of.

Officially, gaCorp is an organization that elects its CEO through democratic procedures, and any irregularities are not tolerated.

‘T&C and Eden were in alliance with each other’, if this gets leaked ahead of the CEO election. it could undermine the legitimacy of the CEO appointnt and even jeopardize the T&C family’s status in Noble Capital and would also cause Samdam to be excluded as a CEO candidate.

“But Denver’s hard stance might pose problems too.” Deliberate criticism of T&C could backfire, especially among Eden’s elders who were unaware about this alliance. They might opt for a different candidate, rendering T&C’s financial support for Denver’s hulk mutant project futile

“How can I handle this…?”

His thoughts racing, Vicus could see the door to the banquet hall in the distance. A woman was being inspected by security guards before entering the door.

She was Laila’s secretary, soone Vicus knew well. Up close, he could see that her complexion had turned pale.

She must have co here for the sa reason he did.

“Even Lady?”

“Vice Commander too?”

They exchanged glances, saying nothing but understanding each other’s thoughts. It seed like tonight’s banquet would be a long one.

***

‘The existence that annoyed is now dead. Despite judging it as competent and deciding to spare it, the outco turned out to be a mixed bag of gains and losses.’

A reflection on an individual’s assessnt. I have to keep in mind that this is Reality, my life is at constant risk here. I have to be extrely cautious, especially when dealing with humans, at least until I acquire the infection enhancent type.’

‘Ti to dismantle the central AI and exit.’

Carrying the now-deceased William, I descended to the basent, as I was going down I took a bite of his upper body first.

‘I should have eaten a bit earlier.’

Maybe because he suffered due to , his taste was bland, the quality of the at was good but it felt like the at got rotten due to improper storage in the refrigerator.

While eating, a parasite ca out of the corpse’s nostrils as if asking not to be eaten. It went back to his house on my arm.

When only one leg remained, I arrived in front of the server room where the main computer was located. I put down the leg I was eating and smashed the door with the horn on my head.

The 10cm thick alloy door, powerless against Amorph’s formidable strength, broke with a loud bang. The central AI, detecting my intrusion, loudly warned..

[Warning! Warning! Unidentified life form detected!]

I destroyed the speakers hanging on the ceiling corners with a swing of my tail, and put an end to the irritating noise, leaving only the regular noise of the air conditioning in the server room.

‘Let’s break the cooling system computer first.’

Although there were nurous computers in the server room, I had raided many hospitals when I played the ga. Once you get here, it’s not much difficult afterwards.

I systematically knocked down the computers lined up at the right end. Sparks flew, and the red light in each computer diminished.

A mont later, all the internal fans stopped, and the temperature inside began to rise rapidly. The sensitive electronic devices inside scread at the rise in temperature that even surpassed a sauna.

‘This is not the end.’

Using all my arms, I successively destroyed all the data server devices one-by-one.

All the computers were either shred to pieces by my combat arms or were turned into unrecoverable waste.

Thanks to my enlarged body, destroying all electronic devices in the spacious server room was easy and didn’t take that long.

Now that I’ve destroyed the important devices, I decided to finish the rest with another thod. I bit my arm and created a wound and sprayed acid all over.

Thanks to the effects of ‘Perfect organism’, the effect of the acid inside had increased significantly, the electronic devices touched by the droplets lted without a trace. Then, a short circuit occurred in the broken computer’s wires, and flas suddenly erupted all over the room.

‘It’s enough for here.’

I walked smoothly through the fire and entered the inside of the server room. The fire was unable to do anything to thanks to my Reinforced Exoskeleton.

Inside, there was a cylindrical computer wrapped in reinforced glass. That was the main computer containing the central AI and controlled the whole hospital. Green numbers constantly appeared and disappeared on its matte surface in a non-reflective black color.

That cylindrical computer had a design unique to gaCorp, and looked like the AI computer inside the spaceship.

[“Warning! Warning! Central AI under threat of damage!”]

The AI, issued its final warning in electronic sounds as if not wanting to die, but it was aningless.I launched bone spikes towards the reinforced glass, the glass wall shattered.

It not only broke the glass but also pierced through the main computer. However, I was not satisfied. I had to completely destroy it so that the enemies won’t be able to retrieve the data.

‘I rember making a similar mistake back then.’

I once infiltrated a hospital in a space city in the ga to kill soone. At that ti, I was a Quasi-saint with six types in my possession. Therefore, assassinating enemies without getting caught was very easy.

Perhaps because it was too easy. I beca careless, and because of that, my abilities were exposed to the central AI.

The organization mbers of the hostile clan that I killed were easily able to obtain my information through the central AI. They sought revenge by spreading the strategies I used in the hospital on the community forum.

‘It beca challenging to create new strategies as the old ones beca useless.’

Of course, I later paid them back twice as much, but I don’t want to recreate those mories. I sprayed my acid blood to completely dissolve the main computer.

“It all went well.”

After leaving the blazing server room, I finished eating William’s remaining leg.

Once again, a text box related to the predation effect appeared, and as I was about to skip it I saw sothing.

‘Wait? What’s this?’

I quickly checked the text box.

[Predation effect activated! Successfully obtained ‘Insight’ genetic essence.]

[Extracted the ‘Insight’ among the biological characteristics of ‘William’.]

[Do you want to apply ‘Insight’?]

‘Huh?’

Insight.

I’m familiar with this ability too. When activated, it allows to see the unique features, traits, skills, etc., of a living being or object with my naked eyes.

I can’t know everything, and the information I can obtain is randomly determined, limited to five tis a day.

For example, if you use ‘Insight’ on soone wearing reinforced armor, you might get information about the armor instead of the wearer. Or sotis if you want to know about the information of the armor you will get information on the wearer.

Also if you tried to use ‘Insight’ more than five tis a day, it would beco unusable and you won’t be able to use it in the future.

‘I was curious about what would co out of William, but for this to co out.’

William always had sharper intuition than others, so it made sense that he had such an extraordinary ability in him.It was probably because of that he found out about my weaknesses, and forced to corner myself.

Co to think of it, William was the first one who cornered in this city. Although he was not as powerful in combat as Si-hyun Yujin or the Hulk Mutants, he targeted my weaknesses with just his intuition.

Though I had infected him with a parasite, he didn’t give up and continued to be a headache for until the end.

‘The one who used to be an enemy is giving a gift at the end.’

Although he was an enemy in the past, it was forgivable at this point as he gave such an amazing gift.

As shown in the system panel, ‘Insight’ is advantageous in player-vs-player fights, or PK. It’s not an ability I imdiately need since I don’t fight players one on one

‘Yet, I’m happy.’

Because Insight is a psychic trait.

Including ‘Insight,’ I now have a total of 6 psychic traits. This ans that I have successfully fulfilled all the conditions for the Psychic Reinforcent type.

The acquired traits from eden knights and the patients are still pending until they are canceled, but the newly obtained Insight is different.

‘It’s an opportunity to acquire a type; I can’t miss this.’

I imdiately accepted the acquisition of Insight.

As the trait applied, I felt a change in the structure of my eyes. It was as if the inside of the eyeball beca stiff, similar to the feeling when tired, and there was a twitch in the brow.

Despite the tingling sensation, I remained still as the natural changes due to the trait application occurred.

Perhaps because the applied area was not large in size, the transformation quickly ended. I activated Insight and looked around.

‘Huh?’

Despite acquiring it, there was no change. There should be random information about objects, but I couldn’t see anything.

‘Right, I won’t be able to see anything now’.

Insight is a trait that must be confird with the naked eye for its effects to take place.

Currently, my vision is obscured due to the effect of the ‘Symbol of Hunt’. Naturally, I can’t see anything.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter because there are more important things to do right now.’

I decided to check the effect of Insight later and brought up the text box I had been waiting for.

[There exists one ‘Type’ that can be specialized.]

[Do you want to unlock the ‘psychic Reinforcent Type’?]

After acquiring the first Type, the second Type was waiting for .
