    .


    Boss?


    Muriel, the leader of the Humanity Cartel, had reviewed all the videos. Initially, her expression, while the hologram was disyed, was unremarkable, but it gradually stiffened, now as cold as ice.


    When was this recorded?


    She always called the pirates brother. The fact that she omitted the honorific indicated her anger was beyond measure. Swallowing his saliva, the subordinate answered.


    Tthis was recorded a week ago.


    A week? Whos in charge ofmunications?


    Ahththat would be me!


    Mid-sentence, the subordinates breath was cut off as Muriel grabbed his throat. In her eyes, burning violet mes were aze.


    Youre only mentioning this now, such an important matter?


    Ggaah!


    Though Muriel herself had warned not to be a nuisance when entering the temple, she had forgotten this fact. In the end, the haplessmunication officer met his demise with his throat twisted.


    Dispose of him.


    Yes, maam.


    Instructing another subordinate to clear the body, she again disyed the hologram.


    Why is an Amorph here could it be?


    Not only in the continent of Utopia-02, but Amorph itself doesnt reside on the PH-101. If it traversed through space and arrived on this, theres only one thing that could mean.


    Hes a yer.


    Muriel knows that shes not the only one from other worlds in this Space world. The majority of yers are also in extremely hostile rtionships with each other. One of her reasons foring to this was to capture yers.


    But Amorph should be extinct, how is this possible?


    Though iprehensible events unfolded in reality, thats not the important part now. If an Amorph yer has arrived, preparations must be made to deal with him.


    The skinned corpse


    As a yer who ranked in the top 20 in Space Survival, Muriel knew what the corpse meant. There are hardly any Amorphs in the game that provoke or intimidate in such a way. Only one person does that.


    Surely, he was the 5th ranker.


    Not long after bing a ranker, that Amorph ranker quit the game. Thanks to that, they never met in person, but she roughly knew of his reputation.


    I dont know how someone who quit the game could havee here, but


    Muriel herself is also a former ranker. Moreover, she has survived in this world for a whopping 3 years. On the other hand, the opponent, though a long-time yer, quit the game midway.


    She believed her skills would not be outmatched by that former Amorph ranker.


    The likelihood of losing to him is slim


    Snicker!


    At that moment,ughter that disturbed her mind echoed.


    She nced away from the hologram to see who emitted theughter.


    Hahhhahahpfft! I knew you were a stupid b***h, but I didnt expect you to be this dumb!


    The Mother of the Sky was mocking Muriel. In the midst of undergoing a gruesome torture, she couldnt help butugh, as if she had heard something incredibly amusing.


    Whats so funny?


    Heh, pfft, cough!


    The likelihood of losing to him is slim? Do you even know whos in that video?


    Isnt it the Amorph ranker from the 5th ce?


    Even though you know that fact, youre so nonchnt. Truly impressive confidence.


    What?


    [He prepares and moves wherever he goes. He came here, killed the pirates? No matter what you think, no matter what ns you make, it doesnt matter. Whether you fight, try to escape, or beg for mercy, hell kill you.


    .


    Rather than meeting him, its much better to die right here before hees. No matter what you do, you cant escape his grasp.


    .


    Up until now, the Mother of the Sky had never asked for death, even amidst any torture. She wanted to survive somehow and take revenge on Muriel. But now, in the face of Amorph, she said its better to die than to meet him. This fact sent shivers down Muriels spine.


    Damn, what is this?


    Muriel gazed into the Mother of the Skys eyes. The emotions within the eyes, resembling a bird of prey, were very unfamiliar.


    Fear.


    Even when she didnt lose herposure during torture, the Mother of the Sky was now scared of the Amorph. Muriel, deeming that she could no longer obtain useful information from the Mother of the Sky, called her subordinates.


    Contact the cruiser and have the defense level raised to the maximum until I arrive. If anyone approaches, even from the camp, eliminate them.


    Even peopleing from the camp?


    Yes. He can deceive and pretend to be human, so dont trust anyone. Dont even take anymunication. Report immediately if anything happens.


    Got it.


    Although what the Mother of the Sky said was quite concerning, Muriel deliberately ignored it. Fearing danger when facing a formidable opponent only puts one at a disadvantage.


    Calm down. Anyway, hes just an A-ranker.


    She, too, was a ranker, and she had not a few experiences fighting against Amorph. The point when Amorph rapidly grows stronger is after bing a Quasi-saint or Saint.


    Although the figure in the hologram looked significantly different from the in-game appearance, it still seemed to be in the Pre-saint stage.


    No matter how formidable his skills might be, with numerous subordinates, a cruiser, and top-tier equipment, the probability of her losing was low.


    If he has any exceptions, it would be receiving some special benefits.


    Muriel herself received new benefits upon falling into this world.


    The benefit effects were powerful, but that didnt mean she had some omnipotent tool like Amorph. Considering the gap between her and Amorph, it was impossible for him to defeat her no matter how good his benefits were.


    Ill have to return earlier than nned. Everyone, pack up.


    Understood.


    Snicker!


    Doing useless things. Youre all already screwed! Hehecough!


    Even as the camp members moved quickly, the mockingughter of the Mother of the Sky echoed ominously.


    ***


    The time until the bosses is just one day.


    I checked the time using the small terminal pad stolen from the pirates.


    Now that Ive evolved into a Quasi-Saint, I can say that the conditions necessary to confront the pirate leader are roughly met. However, its not urate to say that a Quasi-saint is overwhelmingly powerful. While bing a Quasi-saint does enhance ones strength significantly, its crucial not to rely solely on this fact, as the exact level of the pirate leaders abilities is unknown.


    One of the reasons I considered evolution necessary is not only to enhance my specs for physicalbat but also to avoid mistakes caused by acquiring incorrect information.


    They may think Im at the Pre-saint stage.


    At this point, its impossible to know the pirate leaders skill level. If shes a top-tier yer, she should have an idea of how to fight against an Amorph. An Amorphs strength varies significantly based on the evolutionary stage, so she will assume that I am a Pre-Saint and prepare ordingly.


    Grrrr!


    Believing in incorrect information and preparing can lead to significant consequences.


    I smiled faintly and brought up a semi-transparent text box.

    There are quite a few.


    Since bing a Quasi-Saint, the number of new traits I gained was staggering.


    Especially in terms of special defense enhancements.


    Of course, there were also some new changes in physical and psychic traits.


    Due to using the Infection Fusion trait Gremlin Moss as a material for electronic interference, the tes on my back disappeared. Additionally, the color of my exoskeleton, originally close to dark brown, was now closer to a dark violet.


    This was due to the effects of the Psychic Reflection Gloves, created bybining the traits obtained from defeating the Swamp King with psychic resistance.


    Both of these traits would be used countless times against opponents I would face from now on.


    Gremlin Moss is effective against machines, and the Psychic Reflection Gloves are useful against cultists.


    In addition to these, there are many traits that will continue to be useful in the future.


    Especially getting the Symbiotic Organ Spores was fortunate.


    The Symbiotic Organ Spores were created using traits obtained from the swamp, and it had a very special ability. In nests where this trait was applied, it produced spores with the ability to heal the target that had undergone symbiosis with the organism.


    If I have the Symbiotic Organ Spores, it will be a great help to number 26 and Adhai.


    Ive been worrying a lot about both of them getting hurt, but now I feel like I can breathe a little easier.


    Lets focus on the cruiser for now.


    Currently, Im less than 50 meters away from the enemy cruiser. It seems theyve been ordered to be on high alert by their leader, as theyve set up all sorts of defenses around the ship.


    Various mines, dozens of Stormgun units in auto-fire mode, Heavy Walkers numbering in dozens, reconnaissance drones made by StarUnion, and even sma turrets mounted on the cruiser were all operational. Their defense level is truly formidable. If I were a Pre-Saint, even with number 26 and Adhai, it would have been impossible to breach this ce. Its practically imprable from bothnd and air.


    I wonder if they know about the underground approach.


    The enemies have built a near-perfect defense against ground and aerial assaults. But theyve overlooked one thing: underground.


    Since earlier, Ive been digging tunnels to infiltrate beneath the cruiser. When I evolved into a pseudo-entity, blunt ws emerged all over my exoskeleton except for my head. Most of them are concentrated on my tail, but there are also blunt ws on my wrists, waist, and chest. These ws can be used for offense, but more importantly, theyre very effective for digging through soil. Thanks to these ws, I can move quickly and quietly underground.


    I think this should do.


    As I reached beneath the cruiser, I stopped digging. This space, slightlyrger than my body, will serve as my new nest.


    Now that Ive gained new traits, I should try using them.


    As I activated nest-building mode, ck slime poured out from my body. The surrounding soil absorbed the slime like a sponge absorbing water. In the past, it would have taken quite a while for the slime to harden and form spores, but now the nest waspleted incredibly quickly. Its all thanks to the reinforcement from my types and traits.


    That was fast. Very good.


    Thepleted nest automatically expanded its territory around the area without me needing tomand it.


    The walls of the tunnels I dug became solidified in an instant due to the slime, and the ground around felt as vibrant as my body.


    Fruit-like spores reflecting my traits sprouted throughout the nest, and various pathogens such as toxins, viruses, fungi, and fungi crawled into the soil.


    I wonder if the people on the cruiser are aware. Aware that beneath their feet, a kingdom of contagion is being constructed.


    Alright, hurry up ande up.


    The nest rapidly extended upwards.


    The target is the cruiser guarded by the pirates. Since the cruiser also represents the power of the pirate leader, weakening it in advance wouldnt hurt.


    If we attack using the nests traits, they wont stand a chance.


    The enemies above wont be facing just a single creature like Amorph.


    This soil, thisnd, and everything else under my control, will be their enemy.
