Chapter 114: 114
[SHOUTOUT TO Husky & Sedeho FOR JOINING OUR PATREON]
Ep. 114
–
"…."
"Boss?"
Muriel, the leader of the Humanity Cartel, confirmed all reported videos.
When she first showed up the hologram, her expression seemed indifferent, but her expression gradually hardened, and now she was as cold as ice.
"…When was this taken?"
When she calls pirates, she always calls them oppa.
The fact that she omitted the title made her angry beyond words.
The subordinate swallowed his saliva and answered.
"It's been a week today."
"one week? "Who is in charge of communications?"
"Oh, that's me…huh?!"
While he was talking, his subordinate became out of breath and grabbed his neck. A purple fire was burning in Muriel's eyes as she stood before him.
"Are you going to tell me this important matter now?"
"Kkuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…"
It was Muriel herself who had told her not to be a bother when she entered the temple, but she couldn't remember that now.
In the end, only the communication manager twisted his neck and died.
"Put it away."
"yes."
She told another subordinate to clean up the body and again displayed the holographic image.
'Why is Amorph here… no way?'
Aimorphs themselves do not live on the Saintopia 02 continent or on the planet PH-101.
If he came to this planet from outer space, this fact means only one thing.
'It's a player.'
Muriel knows that in this dystopian world, there are many people like her who came from another world. Also, the majority of players have a very hostile relationship with each other.
One of the reasons she came to this planet was to catch the player.
'But what happened to the Aimorphs when they must have become extinct?'
Something incomprehensible happened in reality, but that's not what's important right now.
If an Amorph player comes here, we must prepare a means to deal with him.
"That skinned corpse…"
Muriel was a ranked 20th player in Space Survival, so she knew what that corpse meant.
There are very few Amorphs in the game who provoke or scare their opponents in that way.
Only one person does something like that.
One of the most infamous players in the world of space survival and the only ranker among Amorphs.
"It was definitely ranked 5th."
Not long after she became a ranker, that Eimov ranker quit the game. Thanks to this, the two had never met in person, but since the reputation over there was so high, she was vaguely aware of it.
'I don't know how the person who joined the fold came in…'
Muriel is also a former ranker. Moreover, she survived in this world for a whopping three years.
On the other hand, the opponent is a ranker who has been playing the game for a long time, but quits the game midway through.
She thought that her skills were in no way inferior to that Aimov ranker.
"The chances of me losing to that guy are slim…"
｢Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk of of of value."
At that time, a sound of laughter that went against her heart was heard.
She looked away from the hologram and looked at the being that had made the laughing sound.
｢Kukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! "I knew it was a bitch, but I never thought it would be like this…"
The Mother of Heaven was laughing at Muriel.
Even though she was undergoing the terrible torture of having her internal organs pulled out, she couldn't help but laugh as if she had heard something so funny.
"What's so funny?"
"There's a slim chance that you'll get ripped off?" "Are you saying that because you know who the person in the video is?"
"…isn't he the 5th ranked Aimorph ranker?"
"I can't believe you're so carefree even though you know that fact. "That is truly great confidence."
"What?"
"Wherever he goes, he prepares for anything and moves. He came here and killed the pirates? Muriel, no matter what you do, you can't escape from his palm."
"Hah? You're crazy because of the torture. "That's nonsense."
Muriel shook her head in bewilderment, but the Heavenly Mother continued as if explaining the laws of nature.
"It doesn't matter what you think or what you plan. Even if you try to fight, he will kill you, even if you try to run away, he will kill you, and even if you ask for mercy, he will kill you." "…."
"
Kill me before he comes. Rather than encountering that bastard, it would be much better to just lie here."
No matter how much torture she was subjected to until now, the Mother of Heaven had never asked for her to be killed. Because she wanted to survive somehow and get revenge on Muriel.
He is saying that it would be better for such a being to die than to meet that Amorph now.
That fact sent shivers down Muriel's spine.
'…what the fuck?'
Muriel gazed into the eyes of the Heavenly Mother.
The emotion in the eyes, which resembled a bird of prey, was a very unfamiliar emotion.
fear.
The Mother of Heaven, who did not lose her fighting spirit even though she urinated while being tortured, was frightened by Eimov.
Deciding that she could no longer obtain useful information from the Mother of Heaven, Muriel called her subordinate.
"Contact the cruiser and tell them to raise it to highest defense level before I arrive. If anyone but me approaches, shoot them dead."
"And people coming from the camp?"
"okay. Don't trust anyone because he can fake it by pretending to be a person. Don't even contact me at all. And if anything happens, report it right away."
"yes."
What the Heavenly Mother said really bothered her, but she did her best to ignore it.
If you are afraid in advance when fighting a dangerous entity, you will only be at a disadvantage.
'calm down. 'He's a sub-adult anyway.'
Since she is also a ranker, she has quite a bit of experience fighting Aimov. The point at which Aimorphs quickly become stronger is after they become sub-adults or adults.
The one seen in the hologram looked very different from its appearance in the game, but it still appeared to be in the subadult stage.
No matter how great her skills were, it was unlikely that she would lose, as she had numerous subordinates, cruisers, and the best equipment.
'If you say it's an exception, what kind of privilege did you receive?'
Muriel herself received new privileges when she fell into this world.
The perk effect is very powerful, but that doesn't mean it's an all-purpose tool. Considering the gap between her and that Aimov, it is impossible for him to beat her no matter how good the privileges he receives.
"I have to go back earlier than scheduled. "Everyone pack your bags."
"All right."
｢Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Attendant. You're already fucked! Cluck, cluck!"
Even as the camp staff were busy moving around, the mocking laughter of the Mother of Heaven echoed ominously.
–
'There is only one day left until the day the boss is scheduled to come.'
I checked the time on the small terminal pad I had taken from the pirates.
Since it has evolved into a semi-adult form, it can be said that the necessary conditions to confront the pirate leader are roughly in place.
If you're wondering if a subadult is that strong, that's not true. It is true that it becomes much stronger when it becomes a semi-adult, but since we do not know the level of the pirate leader, we cannot just rely on this.
One of the reasons I thought evolution was a necessary condition was to improve specs in preparation for physical fights with enemies, but there were other reasons as well.
This is to encourage mistakes due to acquiring incorrect information.
'Because they probably know that I am a sub-adult.'
It is currently unknown how skilled the pirate leader will be. If you are a high-level player, you will know how to fight Amorph.
Since the strength of Aimorphs varies greatly depending on their stage of evolution, we will assume they are subadults and prepare to respond.
｢
Geuggeugguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I laughed a little and brought up a semi-transparent text box.

'There are a lot of them.'
The number of new traits I gained after becoming a semi-adult was enormous.
'There has been a lot of reinforcement, especially in the utility area.'
Of course, there are some new changes in the physical and psychic characteristics.
Because electromagnetic disturbance was used as an ingredient for the infection fusion characteristic 'Gremlin Moss', the bone plates on its back disappeared.
And the color of the outer skin was originally close to black brown, but now it was closer to a dark purple, almost black.
This is thanks to the effect of the 'Super Power Reflective Gloves', which were created by combining the characteristics obtained from catching Swamp King and Super Resistance.
Both traits are ones that will be used countless times against the enemies I will face from now on.
'Gremlin moss is effective when attacking machines, and psychic reflective gloves are useful against cults.'
In addition to this, there are many other features that will continue to be useful in the future.
'I'm especially lucky to have obtained the symbiont spores.'
'Symbiotic spores' made using characteristics obtained from swampy areas.
Nests with this trait produce spores with very special functions. A spore that has the ability to heal the person I implanted the symbiont with.
'The symbiotic spores will be of great help to No. 26 and Aadhai.'
I was very worried that the two of us would get hurt, but now I think we can take it easy.
'I'll think about that later. 'Let's sort out the cruiser first.'
Currently, I am less than 50 meters away from the enemy cruiser. They had laid out all kinds of things around the ship, as if they had been ordered by their leader to be on strict guard.
Dozens of storm guns in automatic fire mode for mines operating in various ways, dozens of heavy walkers, a reconnaissance drone made by Star Union, and even a plasma battery mounted on a cruiser were all activated.
The level of defense is truly impenetrable.
If I were a sub-adult, it would have been impossible to break through here even with No. 26 and Adhai. Because it is impossible to penetrate through land or air.
'I don't know if they even know the Maginot Line.'
The enemy has built a nearly perfect defense line against enemies entering from land and air.
But there was something they were missing.
Right under the ground.
Earlier, I was digging a tunnel and entering under the cruiser.
As I evolved into a sub-adult, new blunt claws appeared on all parts of my body except for the head carapace. Although most of them are concentrated near the tail, blunt claws also protrude from the wrists and waist rib cage.
These claws can be used for attack, but they are most effective at digging up dirt. Thanks to my claws, I can move very quickly and silently even under the ground.
'I guess this is enough.'
When I reached underneath the cruiser, I stopped digging.
This space, slightly wider than my body, will be my new home.
'I've finally acquired new characteristics, so I should try using them.'
When I activated my nest creation, black slime poured out of my body. The surrounding soil absorbed the slime like a sponge absorbing water.
In the past, it would have taken a long time for the mucus to harden and form spores, but now the nest was completed incomparably faster. It's probably all thanks to strengthening the type and characteristics.
'It's fast. Very good.'
The completed nest quickly expanded its territory around itself without my command.
The walls of the tunnel I dug suddenly hardened due to the mucus, and the ground around me felt as vivid as my own body.
On the nest, spores reflecting my characteristics bloom like fruit here and there, and all kinds of pathogens, including poisons, viruses, molds and fungi, crawl into the soil.
Do those on the cruiser really know?
That a kingdom of plague is being built beneath their feet.
'Now go up quickly.'
The nest expands upward at incredible speed.
The target is a cruiser guarded by pirates.
Cruisers are also a strength that the pirate leader has, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to weaken them in advance.
'If you attack with the nest characteristic, you won't even get caught.'
The enemy the pirates above will face is not a single monster called Aimorph.
This earth, this earth, governed by my will, will become their enemy.
