Transford into Cosmic Horror in a Sci-Fi Universe
EP.81 Alien Life Form
Size is approximately 3M.
With jet-black and smooth skin, it has a grotesque appearance similar to the Kapterians, yet with a different feel.
The most prominent feature is its elongated head with no eyes and an unnaturally large mouth.
“Kieeeek!”
Whoosh─!
The creature, which had been voraciously devouring food in the food storage, imdiately began charging at the warriors upon spotting the elves.
“Uwaah!”
As the massive black monster with a horrifying appearance lunged at them, the elf warrior let out a startled scream and swung their sword.
A sword made with high-frequency plasma laser technology, capable of slicing through tal as if it were tofu.
Normally, it should have been split in two the mont it made contact, but.
Clang!
“Keeek?!”
When the plasma cutter collided with the creature’s body, it bounced off with a tallic sound as if two ordinary swords had clashed.
“W-What the…”
It wasn’t completely unscathed.
Blood was trickling from a wound left by the sword on its exoskeleton-like skin.
However, it shouldn’t have ended with just that.
The hardness was absurdly high to only be scratched by a plasma cutter.
It was beyond even the latest titanium alloy technology.
“Grrrr…”
Trendous strength capable of tearing apart the interior tal of a battleship.
And on top of that, an unbelievable defense.
Stealthiness that evades detection by any sensor, be it temperature, energy, or life signs.
“…This is dangerous.”
The captain realized that this creature’s existence was an undiscovered new species and.
Recognizing how extrely dangerous it was, he imdiately ordered the warriors to retreat.
“Everyone, fall back. Do not engage in close combat. Attack from a distance.”
For now, they would intercept it here.
Approaching an unidentified opponent is sothing only a fool would do.
The elves retreated as far as possible and nocked their arrows.
They couldn’t use small neutron bombs or highly destructive arrowheads as they might cause problems with the machinery.
Instead, they used arrows with plasma technology like the sword, which were extrely sharp and had powerful penetrating force.
Whoosh─!
Thud! Thwack!
“Keeeek!”
The accelerating arrows, approaching the speed of sound, pierced through the creature’s body.
The monster was pierced without a chance to dodge.
Earlier, the hastily swung sword had only left a scratch, but the accelerated arrows managed to penetrate the creature’s terrifying barrier.
Of course, even then, the arrows lost their montum piercing the creature’s tough exoskeleton and remained lodged instead of passing through.
However, this ironically led to an unfavorable outco for the creature.
The high-frequency vibrating plasma cutter began to devour and mangle its flesh from the inside.
The creature started writhing in pain, experiencing it for the first ti.
‘A creature that tough probably rarely experiences pain. That’s why it has very little immunity to pain.’
They hoped it would die from excessive bleeding or shock as it suffered.
But even with its body pierced in various places, the creature didn’t die and continued to struggle, charging at the elves.
“Kieeek!”
Incredible vitality.
However, the elf warriors calmly and persistently aid for its head.
Crunch! Thwack! Splat!
And so, the creature finally t its demise after being hit by dozens of arrows.
“Phew…”
The captain let out a deep sigh at the sight.
It wasn’t a sigh of relief.
It was a sigh born from worry about what might happen next.
Isn’t that right?
There’s no way a life form like this exists as just a single individual.
There are no beings in this world born as a single entity.
Unless it’s a species on the brink of extinction.
Anyway, that ans there are more of these creatures nearby.
The fact that they suddenly appeared upon entering this galaxy clearly indicates that this is their habitat.
They seed to have gone undetected until now due to their ability to evade sensors.
‘It felt like seeing a Kapterian species that had evolved into a higher being.’
Although there were so differences, that was the impression it gave.
If their reproductive ability is also similar to the Kapterians…
‘It’s terrifying just to think about it.’
First, this incident must be reported to the higher-ups.
And then, counterasures for this…
Just as he was thinking that.
Boom!
Beep beep beep─
The ergency alarm started blaring again.
And explosive sounds began to echo from various locations.
Bang! Boom!
“…Shit.”
This sound, a familiar pattern.
The captain realized that the situation he had been worrying about was now unfolding.
…That monstrous species they had just barely defeated.
They had begun invading the ship in swarms.
No, not just this ship.
The entire fleet, including the mothership ‘Rios’.
“Retreat! Retreat!”
“Aaaaah!”
“Fuck! What are those things!”
The entire fleet was in a state of ergency.
Due to the monstrous life forms tearing through the outer hull, not only the elves but also the alliance side was in complete chaos.
Their numbers were roughly 30,000.
For the entire fleet, it amounted to about a dozen creatures sneaking into each ship, but even that number was enough to pose a trendous threat given how powerful they were. R
They clashed with the creatures inside the ships and retreated, or were ambushed by hidden ones.
The most horrifying thing was.
“Fuck, these bastards…”
Soone from the alliance discovered that the creatures had gorged themselves and laid eggs in one of the storage areas.
They were reproducing.
Right here inside.
“Report this imdiately. We must exterminate these fuckers, including their eggs..!!”
And so, they found themselves having to wage a sudden war against an alien life form.
#
“What? An unknown life form?”
“Yes. From what we’ve heard, it can’t be detected by any sensors, it’s strong enough to tear through alloys, and its carapace is so tough that even plasma cutters have difficulty penetrating it. Moreover, it’s incredibly resilient and won’t die unless you blow its head off.”
“…No way, that’s insane.”
Just hearing about its specs, it sounds like so planetary-level giant monster.
Yujin spoke with a look of disbelief.
“There’s definitely no record of such a life form being detected in the Lubaran reports. Even when we conducted our own independent investigation, there was nothing. It’s hard to believe that such a ferocious and powerful species hasn’t been discovered yet, just because it can’t be detected by sensors…”
Suddenly, as if sothing had occurred to him, Yujin frowned and said,
“…Do we have any photos or sketches of it?”
“Ah, yes. Here’s a photo sent by the expedition team.”
Yujin’s expression worsened as he looked at the photo handed to him by his subordinate.
“Hah… shit.”
He even sighed while rubbing his forehead.
“What the hell is it this ti?”
Yujin gritted his teeth and looked up at the sky.
He recognized the appearance of this monstrous life form.
‘AlienX’.
The protagonist of a sci-fi thriller movie about extraterrestrial life forms, from the mories of his human days in the original body.
The alien monster that appeared in that movie was exactly what was in this photo.
Of course, there were differences.
First, the size.
The size was excessively large.
And it didn’t have acidic body fluids.
Instead, it seed its physical abilities had been trendously enhanced.
From this fact, Yujin imdiately knew that this was also a creation of his original body.
It was the sa as himself or the elves.
The problem was that this ti, the intention behind it was extrely unfavorable to him and the alliance.
He had created himself just for communication and then let him live as an independent entity.
The elves were originally created as a highly capable and cooperative race to harmonize with the alliance.
But this AlienX was completely different, wasn’t it?
It was a life form created specifically to attack the alliance.
‘Damn, no wonder it wasn’t discovered.’
Of course it wouldn’t have been found in preliminary surveys since it was a newly created life form that didn’t exist before.
‘Is this… just for entertainnt?’
Yujin thought to himself.
Although his original body hadn’t taken any hostile actions against the alliance or its mber species until now, he was in fact an outer god.
An outer god who could easily erase and recreate this universe if he so desired.
It ans he can do anything, whether it’s making the alliance stronger or threatening it, all for his own amusent.
Perhaps the very concepts of hostility and friendliness are aningless to him.
‘This ti, he probably thought it would be more interesting if we faced so difficulties because we’ve beco too strong.’
His intentions were obvious.
And the consequences would be borne entirely by the Galactic Alliance and himself.
‘This bastard. Why can’t he just leave us alone and go play with so other universe instead of ssing with ?’
Yujin cursed his original body in every way possible in his mind.
But what could he do?
The situation had already unfolded, and there was no sign of it being reversed.
If that’s the case, there’s only one answer.
‘He’s given us a trial, so we just need to overco it and achieve our goal. If we overco it too easily and it becos boring, he might not interfere next ti.’
Cut off his interest.
Then, his interventions in this universe should decrease.
With this in mind, Yujin prepared to go out himself.
“Y-Yujin, sir?”
“I’m going personally. I’ll gather an elite team to deal with these creatures. Elder Jupiter, let’s go.”
“Yes, yes.”
There wasn’t much they could do by staying at the alliance headquarters anyway.
They would only be receiving reports from the expedition team in Zone Y.
That’s why he planned to go with the strongest forces and confront the AlienXs directly to eliminate them all.
‘Watch closely, original body. No matter how much you try to use us for your amusent, we’ll do our best not to give you any enjoynt. So give it up.’
