Ep. 176

After waking up, Aadhai and the Heavenly Mother stared blankly at the Screamer PS-111, which had only its head left.

"Everyone, look! "My new friend!"

"Nice to meet you. wild creatures. My name is PS-111. The main controller is 'Sea Demon' and the sub-controller is 'unidentified hostile creature'. i look forward to."

"Don't call it an unidentified hostile creature, just call it Aimorph."

"check. Change the code name of the subcontroller."

Heaven's Mother gaped when she saw the head of a human woman introducing herself while riding on No. 26's body. Her gaze wavered and then turned to me. The look in his eyes asked if what he thought was true.

'That's what you think.'

Unlike her, who had a surprised eagle face, Aadhai kept nodding his head as if something was strange.

｢Big adult｣｢I｣｢Question｣

[Zuzu (what is it?)]

｢He｣｢Say｣｢Strange｣

Adhai immediately noticed that the wavelengths emitted by PS-111 were awkward.

[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzu zuzu (It's because I'm sick)]

｢Wounds｣｢A lot?｣

[Zuzuz (probably)]

I don't know what PS-111 originally looked like. The Screamer I hunted was a low-level Screamer, model S, so it must have looked different from its true appearance.

'No matter what, if only the head remains, it would be considered a fatal wound.'

Of course, it is highly likely that PS-111 will not feel any pain from the injury. Because it can move vital organs thanks to the Sea Demon genes. When you look at it from the outside, it looks like only the head is left, but inside there is a brain and basic digestive organs.

However, explaining this to Adhai was complicated, so I decided to skip it.

｢He｣｢Injured｣｢Serious｣｢Pity｣

[zuzu zu zuzuzu zuzu zuzuzu (You are more adult, so help me a lot)]

｢Me｣｢Adult?｣ I

didn't ask directly, but it is highly likely. Due to the game's settings, Screamer's life expectancy cannot exceed one year.

The PS-111 is a new screamer, but even so, it is unlikely to have a long lifespan. At best, it wouldn't have lasted more than a few years.

Anyway, Aadhai, who heard me, was surprised to see a creature younger than himself and rushed to the side of No. 26 and PS-111.

"As a result of the analysis of the appearance of the wild creature, it matches 78% with 'Green Gallagon'."

｢Little baby, be friendly with your friends.｣

｢Sick child｣｢Pity｣｢Help｣

｢Friends should also be friendly with little babies. Got it?"

"Following the main controller's command, the grade of 'Green Gallagon (78%)' is reclassified to sub-controller 2 'Little Baby'. i look forward to. "Little baby."

｢Sick child｣｢Words｣｢Weird｣｢Me｣｢Education｣｢Possible｣

｢Yes! "The little baby is good!"

"Thank you for the support of the little baby."

It was quite interesting to see three unique monsters chatting amicably with each other.

In particular, Adhai looked quite different from when she was the Mother of Heaven. The guy had a friendly attitude toward PS-111.

'Did you feel a sense of responsibility seeing a creature younger than yourself?'

Or maybe it's because they think they have similar physical defects as themselves.

As I was happily looking at the guys getting along well, Heavenly Mother called me.

"What happened? Is it possible to tame a screamer?」

[Zuzzuzu zuzuzu (I didn't do it)]

She didn't seem to understand that friendly screamers existed. Since she appears only as an enemy in the game, her reaction is not incomprehensible. If I hadn't seen it in person, I would have thought the same thing as her.

I gave her a summary of what had happened earlier.

"Did you say No. 26 was that new Mutant Screamer? You took away the initiative from him?"

[Z(Yes)]

"It's a screamer that uses psychic power. It's as you said. "Someone is making up for Screamer's weaknesses."

She sighed, agreeing with my reasoning.

"Chloe Carmeldara. "I can guess who it is."

"Probably 12th."

Among the Megacorp rankers, there was a player who focused on weapon development. He was a specialist in making rare equipment and provided weapons to players who were hostile to me.

"The two sponsors Muriel mentioned last time. One of them is a cult player named Jason. You said you don't know the other one."

[Zuzuz (That's right)]

"You guessed that he was from Carmelda."

[Zuzzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzu (They are the same person) What do you want to say?)]

She nodded.

"There are only two rankers with expertise in equipment manufacturing. The number one among them is already dead, so the only one left is number 12."

[Zuzu, zuzuzu, zuzuzu, zuzuzu, zuzuzu (As far as I know, I heard that number 12 is a male?)]

"Because only in the game can you choose your gender at will. We don't know if that's really the case."

[Zuzu (laughter)]

That's a valid point. Just because it was in the game doesn't guarantee it will be the same here.

'I need to be careful about this.'

It's been over half a year since I came to this world, but sometimes I make judgments based on games.

Even though I myself am an element that deviates from the principles of the space survival world, if I keep thinking like this, I could end up in trouble.

'You have to keep all possibilities open. Be careful.'

I made a promise to myself and continued my conversation with Heavenly Mother.

[Zuzzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzuzu zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (If there is a connection between the person who helps Muriel and the Screamer developer, that guy will become more important)] ｢I guess we will have to do more research to see if that is actually the case or not.

｣

[Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu (This guy's former main controller would know something about this)] If you

catch PS-111's former main controller 'Pira Eleven', you can get more information. There will be.

'It's just a matter of timing.'

I am worried about whether to attack and catch Black Gallagon or catch him before he does.

If the new Screamers are related to the players, their commander, Pyrrha Eleven, will also be the same. You can take a peek at the fight between you and Black Gallagon and transmit that information to the players.

'But it's not easy to hit the screamer first.'

If it were any other time, it would have been advantageous to attack Pyrrha Eleven first, but the situation is not good.

We have already confirmed that the Gallagons are moving around abnormally. If you rush out to find a Screamer and get caught by a group of Gallagons, there is a risk of forming a double battle line. Based on the information provided by PS-111, the Screamer's force that has been fought so far, it is a very powerful enemy. It is estimated to be weaker than Black Gallagon, but that does not mean it is an easy opponent.

Fighting two such enemies at the same time is truly suicidal.

'Shall I aim for the fisherman? no. 'We still know too little to do that.'

I think this part will have to be decided after extracting more information about Pyrrha Eleven from PS-111.

'Until we're sure, let's finish preparing for Apex hunting first.'

You have to catch the predators on this planet and acquire useful characteristics so that you can fight smoothly no matter who you fight.

'In addition, the Sky Mother's Wendigo transformation ability is unlocked.'

While I was organizing my thoughts in my head, Unit 26 and PS-111 approached us.

"Question to the main controller. "What species is the wild animal next to you?"

｢Wild animal….｣

"Psychic power similar to Gallagon detected. "It is presumed to be a highly intelligent being."

"friend. "This is the middle baby."

"Information is unclear. 0 search results for creature called 'middle baby'."

While Mother Sky was dumbfounded at being treated like a wild animal, I briefly explained about her to PS-111.

[Zuzuzu Zuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzuzuzu Zuzu Zuzuzu (She is a deified Wolff, which means she is a Wolff with transformation abilities)]

"Are you a mutant Wolff with metamorphic characteristics? Update the built-in database."

"The middle child is a great child who is good at scolding bad kids. Let's be friendly."

"Sub Controller 3 is reclassified as 'middle child'. nice to see you. "Middle baby."

"…That's right."

The Mother of Heaven seemed embarrassed by the surreal situation of greeting Screamer through the arrangement of the Sea Demon. After a light introduction, one animal and one synthetic creature paid no heed to her attitude and went towards Aadhai.

"A special metal device is detected from the little baby."

"You can't touch that. The eldest child brought it.｣

｢Elder adult｣｢Friend｣｢Two｣｢Can be used｣｢Sick child｣｢Confirm｣｢Want?｣

"Absorbing the device will help you recover quickly…."

Huddled together The three gathered monsters began chattering to each other with thought waves and waves. Sky's mother shook her head when she saw that they seemed to be getting along so well.

｢…You're surprisingly good at picking up monsters.｣

[Zuzuzu (yes)]

｢I thought I was familiar with this.｣

It's a combination that would be crazy if other players saw it. She muttered softly, but didn't bother responding.

After talking for about an hour, the three fell asleep again. The Mother of Heaven must have been quite tired from fighting back to back during the day, so she quickly fell asleep.

The only ones awake in the nest are me and Screamer PS-111, with only my head left. It swam through the swamp where the nest was and came to me.

"Aimov. "Aren't you going to bed?"

"I have something to think about."

Earlier, I tried to check out the newly opened 'Characteristic Enhancement' system before going to bed.

I wasn't able to check because No. 26 secretly escaped from the nest, so I'm thinking of taking a look now.

After returning the PS-111, I tried to float a semi-transparent text box, but it was floating in front of me.

"Do you have something to say?"

"yes. Amov. According to the information obtained from the little one, that 70L tactical backpack belongs to Amorph. Is that correct?"

What he was pointing at with his small metal leg was a backpack containing the equipment I had secured from Muriel.

That bag that Aadhai usually carries on his back contains 8 'Blood Rivers', the 'Priest's Golden Spear' and Star Union's only weapon.

The 'Plunder's Irregular Polyhedron' obtained by killing the player has the effect of devouring Yuil-level equipment and converting it into unique characteristics. Thanks to that, I absorbed the cult's orbital weapon 'Thunder God' and gained the characteristic of 'God's Rod'.

The priest's golden spear and blood river are also carried because they may be used for predatory purposes.

"That's exactly what I got. "Why do you ask that?"

"I need three of the 'Blood River' metal mechanical equipment inside. "If you absorb this device, you can expect a dramatic improvement in combat power."

"absorption?"

"Entities above the intermediate terminal are granted extensive self-repair authority to respond to concentrated attacks from enemies. Therefore, it can be used for restoration when the necessary materials are secured."

Listening to this guy's words, I thought of the Screamer who killed Winter Walker on the ground. It tried to replenish its energy needs by eating corpses.

'Is it possible to prey on equipment other than meat or psychic power?'

PS-111, like me, seemed to be able to utilize metal and weapons by eating them. Perhaps its higher-ranking entity, Pyrrha Eleven, also possesses the same ability.

"Why are we talking about such an important topic now?"

"According to information we have received from Main Controller 'Sea Demon' and Little Babe, this location is not safe. "To protect the main controller, we must restore combat functionality as quickly as possible."

I glared at PS-111. Looking at the guy's appearance, it didn't seem like he was intentionally omitting important information.

'Even if I had tried to hide it, I wouldn't have told you now.'

It didn't seem like he was lying, but that doesn't mean you can give away the Blood River.

I don't know how it will change when I absorb powerful Yuil-class equipment, and I only have 8 Blood Reavers.

'Three of them are actually half.'

You must use it when fighting Black Gallagon, so you must judge carefully.

While I was thinking about what to do, the auxiliary organ under my chin detected a very faint vibration.

'What did you just do?'

A vibration came from a place quite far away from here. It felt different from an earthquake.

Having a bad feeling, I lay down and linked the auxiliary organ to the nest.

My senses spread throughout the underground space through the surface of the swamp in the nest. Walls of cold ice, passages through which cool air flows in and out, and pits created by the fierce battle between me and Ice Horror.

As I was licking the inside of the vast underground space beneath the ice plain, my senses caught the vibration again.

As soon as there was a thumping sound, the pile of ice and rocks blocking the passage disappeared in an instant. Then, the flow of psychic power and the reverberations left behind by the metal weapon followed.

When I realized what these meant, I jumped up from my seat.

'enemy!'

Many psychic power users entered this underground space.
