The name of the drug in the ampoule Im holding is Syonium. Instead of enhancing the user with each use, this drug randomly reduces its duration while providing a reinforcement effect.
Ive used it before when fighting against Si-hyun Yujin, a gically modified human from the Yujin family. Back then, in my fluid state, I consumed Syonium temporarily gaining the power of an astral being to confront her.
Anyway, Ive already used it once. Originally, the duration should decrease.
But this is an improved version used by Muriel
She said, She enjoyed the reinforcement effect for a much longer timepared to regr Syonium. So, I cant predict how long the effect willst.
Regardless, the duration wont be that long. At least 5 minutes, maybe 8 or 9 minutes at most should be assumed.
In other words, Syoniums effect ends earlier than the maximum duration of the King of Monsters. Logically, it would be correct to use the King of Monsters first, but theres a problem to consider before that.
If you use up all your energy, the state will be released.
ording to the description of the Organic Evolution trait, transforming into the King of Monsters consumes a considerable amount of energy.
The Divine Scepter will probably consume a lot of energy too.
Both Divine Scepter and the King of Monsters consume the stored biological energy in my body.
The total amount of energy shouldnt be a big problem.
Before entering Transcendence Stage 2, I devoured the Swamp King and creatures in the swamp, and recently, I even swallowed the whole Hond Gigrant.
Both creatures are powerful predators reigning over the Sainthopia02 continent. Moreover, I believe Amorphs energy consumption is very efficient, so there shouldnt be a shortage of energy.
Of course, I cant be 100% sure.
Both traits are not present in the game. I havent personally tried them. However, Ive faced simr crises in the game a few times. Ive faced massive onughts from Outspacers, participated inrge-scale massacres, and even intercepted MegaCorps-destroying weapon, Nova, by flying into the stratosphere.
In fact, I now have more cards to y than I did back then, making the situation even better.
With Amorphs excellent senses and my intuition
Just as Ive ovee previous difficulties, I should be able to ovee this crisis as well.
All thats left is when the Cosmic Bolt will fall.
I dont have a way to find out in the current situation, but theres one method. The predator sense that informs me of my crisis. The moment a fleeting future shes before my eyes is the time to strike.
After making the decision, I took out the Syonium ampoule from Muriels kit and stored it in my mouth. Wrestling with the massively erged body to hold the ampoule was to avoid damage.
Because itll be hard to eat in the King of Monsters state.
Although I was prepared, the predator sense hasnt sent any news yet. I activated the Organic Evolution trait and chose the King of Monsters. And then
[Location not suitable. Please maintain distance from allies.]
Huh?
The transformation did not take ce.
Not here?
While there were many trees around, the location I was in was a in. The description of the special state only mentioned a required space within a radius of 100m, with no other specifics.
Does it mean there shouldnt be obstacles Wait, could it be?
The distance from allies. In front of me were 26, Adhai, and the Mother of the Sky. [Zuzuzuzuz (Wait here for a moment)] After informing them, I left the location.
The direction I headed was straight to the riverside. There were no obstacles like trees there. I ran with all my power, utilizing all my bodys organs to their muscr limits, including sixbat arms, tail, and blunt ws.
Upon reaching the riverside, I activated the trait again.
The location is not suitable.
And inevitably, the unsuitable message appeared.
I looked around. Although this ce was near the river, it was sparsely popted with trees, more like the edge of the forest. Since there was no mention of allies, it seemed that the obstacle part was omitted in the King of Monsters description.
I quickly jumped into the river. Only after arriving at the center of the river did the message appear that transformation into the King of Monsters was possible.
At this point, it should easily exceed 100 meters, right?
The width of this river is not narrow. It should easily exceed 100m from the center of the river to the bank.
Just as I wondered how muchrger it would be, something passed in front of my vision.
Its here!
The scene of the ck mes, the Cosmic Bolt, tearing through the atmosphere and devouring everything in its path. As soon as I recognized that scene, I immediately transformed into the King of Monsters.
Ugh?!
[Pain nullification Activated!]
Unlike other evolutions, tremendous pain surged. It was an intense pain that I had never experienced before. Even with Pain nullification activated, it was this severe. If I didnt have the memory of childhood full-body burns, I would have instantly lost consciousness.
Moreover, it wasnt just the pain. Even in the midst of transformation, the energy consumption rate was enormous. It felt like the overwhelming force of releasing three consecutive psychic Breaths.
Ugh, ugh! I have to eat now!
Somehow, I managed to hold onto my sanity and bit into what was inside my mouth. The small ampoule shattered, and the Syonium inside poured into my throat.
Guh, guh, !
Unable to endure the pain any longer, I let out a loud scream. As the river evaporated and the trees on the bank were uprooted, a wave of intense energy obscured my vision.
***
Cosmic Boltunch ready.
Energy output at 500%, chargingplete. Dark Matter Regtor in operation. Purification process initiated.
Coordinate inputpleted.
Estimated damage assessmentplete. Contrasting with purification mission.
In the situation room where the Cosmic Boltunch was imminent, the captain secretly bit his lips.
In the end, his subordinates did not return until theunch. He didnt know whether they were alive or dead, what happened on PH-101, and he would probably never know.
Ill never be able to know in the future.
Thinking about the fallen subordinates, the captain closed his eyes tightly. Meanwhile, the countdown continued quickly.
Huh? Captain! Powerful energy waves detected!
At that moment, a cult crew member observing thes energy flow shouted. The captain opened his eyes at his words.
Energy waves? Is it a maic storm, perhaps?
I dont know! Ththis is?! Its not spread across the entire but concentrated at a specific point!
What?
The crew member disyed an image using psychic power. The entire continent within the was covered by a massive energy storm. The cult members in the situation room were shocked to see that.
Oh my goodness!
Ive never seen such a flow of energy before!
Maic storms ur in all directions across a, so it wouldnt concentrate at a specific point like this. In other words, that abnormal storm was undoubtedly created by some specific entity.
Could it be the source of contamination?
Themand given to the Judicator of Damocles 08 was to purify the contaminated PH-101. That abnormal storm was undoubtedly created by entities that polluted the.
Darn it! So, everyone has perished!
That continent is where the Wolf natives reside. The extermination force must have gone to capture the Wolves but unfortunately encountered that source of contamination.
Its an entity that influences a continent. No matter how powerful the extermination force is, it is impossible to survive against such an unreasonable existence.
Can we observe the source of contamination with the ships camera?
Ththe energy flow is so intense that Ill still give it a try!
The cult crew operated the shipsputer using psychic power. A few secondster, the observed image of the ground appeared in the center of the situation room.
Cult members who confirmed the appearance of the source of contamination screamed in unison. The captain didnt scold them because he himself almost screamed when he saw it.
For an unknown reason, the image quality was not very good, but everyone present could easily confirm the appearance of it at that moment.
The reason was that it was extremely gigantic. When roughlyparing it to the surrounding trees, it was estimated to be well over 200 meters in length.
The source of contamination had a total of three heads. Except for the central head, the other two heads had the same appearance, resembling carnivorous dragons with pointed beaks, simr to Saegil08s native creature, Manuk Arma. There were no visible visual organs in these heads. Instead, horns grew in those spots.
Instead of eyes, long and thin tentacles below the jaws seemed to serve as sensory organs. Even in the image on the screen, the two heads were constantly flicking the tentacles without rest.
In the center was the middle head. It possessed sixrge horns, a long and wide back head shell reminiscent of a crown. Unlike the heads on the sides, this one had eyes, constantly scanning the surroundings like sly serpents.
Horns, back head shell, and eyes. The captain believed that this head held the highestmand.
The neck supporting the three heads was quite long and thick, resembling a snake. In the area where the long neck and head met, tentacle clusters that looked like hair hung down.
Even up to this point, the appearance was sufficiently repulsive, but it became even more grotesque when looking at the body. The creatures back was covered in a jet-ck exoskeleton, resembling the dark matter used by the cult. Eight whirl-shaped cavities adorned its back, each housing pipes that extended in a row, connecting to the tail.
From the pipes, an unidentifiable gas constantly poured out, rising into the sky. It was probably these gases that caused the decrease in image quality observed by the ships camera.
Descending from the exoskeleton on the back were six legs. More precisely, there were four front legs that seemed to serve as arms and were muchrger than the other arms, and two significantlyrger hind legs.
Perhaps the creature was crouching, making the arms look like legs. All the legs were wrapped in an exoskeleton simr to the back, and the joints appeared more numerous than those of ordinary organisms. The appearance was reminiscent of a spider, giving an instinctive sense of disgust.
Especially between the legs, there were folds of flesh, making it far from pleasant to look at. Although the purpose was unknown, if it was intended to evoke revulsion in the observer, it certainly achieved its goal.
After the horrifying legs, finally, the tail. The creature with three heads also had multiple tails. The tail, which ounted for about a third of the bodys weight, was split into two branches from a certain point in the lower body.
In other words, it meant the tail was split into two. The right tail had a giant pincer at the end, and the left tail had a stinger resembling that of a scorpion.
The devil with three heads.
Someone muttered upon seeing the contamination source on the screen. The captain thought that expression was appropriate.
Its appearance was truly that of an evil dragon straight out of cult mythologythe contamination source threatening the security of the Cult Empire, the devil with three heads.
The captain shouted until his throat tore apart,
Immediately incinerate that sphemous being!
Understood! Adjusting the coordinates!
The Cosmic Bolts cannons aimed at the sphemous entity.
In a moment, that contamination source would be eliminated. As always.
No. It had to be that way.
Although I gained a new body, I couldnt observe the changes.
Thinking that there was no need to worry about the held energy was aplete misjudgment. An enormous amount of energy was currently being drained in real-time.
It was inevitable. After bing the King of Monsters, the detection range of auxiliary sensors had be incredibly vast. I could monitor about a third of the Seintopia02 continent where I stood.
Along with energy consumption, I barely managed to keep my sanity amidst the vast amount of information. I filtered out as much irrelevant information as possible and focused only on the Cosmic Bolt descending through theary atmosphere.
Finally, I conveyed a message to them with the monsters tentacles.
[ZZZZ ZZ ZZZ (Everyone, evade on your own!)]
If they were the Mothers of the Sky, they should understand what I meant. No, they had to understand.
I felt sorry for the kids, but I couldnt afford to pay attention to them. Even a slight distraction might cause them to copse right away.
And finally, the time hase.
As if time had slowed down, the Cosmic Bolt descends slowly here. The sky splits, the air vibrates, and the ground beneath my feet ripples.
In the slowed spacetime, I lifted my head towards the sky.
The Punishing Sceptre of the Gods!
The jet-ck, dark ck back, where pipes are lined up in a row, begins to glow golden one by one. Waves of gold ascend through my long necks.
As the light passes through the monsters tentacles and reaches my throat holes,
Through me, the gods swing the scythe of punishment.
It was like lightning, and it looked like hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of thin fments merging into one.
The important thing was that lightning-like fments emanated from a total of three ces.
The ck mes descending to burn the ground and the golden lightning brilliantly collide.
In that moment.
The sky tore apart.
Not metaphorically, but literally, the atmosphere of this is tearing apart. The tremendous shockwave created as the lightning from the three heads collided with the Cosmic Bolt.
Clouds disappeared, and unexpectedly, auroras urred in the sky, twisted by the distorted maic field. Along with the atmospheric changes, dozens of fiery vortexes descended from the sky to the ground.
The ground where I stand shakes as if in an earthquake, and the river evaporates at a rapid speed. Trees within a radius of several kilometers from where I stand burst into mes all at once.
Kuk!
Theplete body of a King of Monsters,bined with the divine scythe infused with the power of the Brain God.
I thought this much would be possible, but its not easy. While spewing lightning, I also gauged the remaining energy.
Just a little more!
The effect of Saionium wouldnt be released, but the King of Monsters and the divine scythe are different. It will be canceled as soon as the energy runs out.
Just a bit more!
Little by little, the lightning began to push back the ck mes and the Cosmic Bolt. If I push a bit more here, the Imperial gship will overload, forcing the Cosmic Bolt to stop.
I thought I could endure a bit more, but suddenly, dozens of fments rained down from the sky.
gship Fleet!
I hadnt noticed, as I was focused on the Cosmic Bolt, but the cults warships were floating in the sky. Knowing that the Imperial gship was shing with me, the warships of the Fleet Division came to support.
Its challenging to attack separately from here!
Thanks to the effect of the King of Monsters, the fments they shot did not inflict fatal wounds on me. It hurt, but I could endure.
However, due to the continuous rain of fments, it was challenging to maintain focus.
Is there a way Ah!
Suddenly, a good idea crossed my mind, and I calcted the remaining energy.
Its possible!
Even while shooting the divine scythe, there is a way to deal with those annoying gnats-like ships. The drawback is that the duration of the King of Monsters will be slightly reduced.
The monstrous tentacle, epting my will, moves. As there are three heads, the monstrous tentacles on the back of my head and neck are also generated in three ces.
So, Psychic Breath can be aimed in three directions.
Until now, I havent specifically controlled the direction of the Psychic Breath. There was no need to do so. Theres only the constraint of maintaining focus; the direction itself should be controble.
The only problem is that Ive never actually tried it.
Once again, I dont like having to take risks, but theres no choice. This is myst stand. Its time to throw the decisive blow.
The golden pipes that were shining earlier are now flickering in violet. Simr to the whip of the gods, the violet light moves sequentially from the tip of the tail.
So far, Ive been trying hard to aim the monsters tentacles towards the target. Controlling the monsters tentacles on the three heads simultaneously was never easy. It was a delicate operation to the point that, had it not been for Aymophs exceptional senses, I would have failed. Unconsciously, blood flowed from my eyes and mouth, but I ignored it.
The excruciating pain, as if my brain were going to burn, attacked me, but I eventually seeded. The monsters tentacles listened to mymand, aiming at the direction of the enemy battleships.
Thats it!
The monsters tentacle, absorbing all the violet Psychic power, sways smoothly like a conductors baton.
In ordance with themand, a violet sphere rises in front of the dragons head that spews lightning. Even when I used Psychic Breath before, the size was quiterge, but now, tailored to my body, it was enormous, exceeding 200 meters.
Whether they sensed the essence of my Psychic Power or not, the enemy battleships hurriedly tried to retreat.
Where are you going?
The dragons breath towards their fleeing rears erupted. In the ce where the violet fments, reaching several kilometers away, passed by the battleships, only arge-scale explosion remained.
The battleships that went beyond the range of my fments quickly escaped beyond thes atmosphere. Those unable to do so became alloy rain, falling to the ground.
Now, I have about two minutes left, no, maybe just a minute?
Having repelled the battleships, I poured all my focus into shooting the scythe of the gods.
As the remaining energy approaches the bottom, my vision bes blurry. Only the auxiliary organs under my chin, which have always apanied me through life and death, continue to report my energy consumption.
Please!
[!]
Finally, as if roaring a plea, I unleashed the lightning.
Did it work?
The Cosmic Bolt descending to annihte everything.
The ck fments extending to a radius of several hundred meters blinked like malfunctioning lights and disappeared.
As if ascending to be a dragon, the lightning I shot soared into the sky without any obstacles.
Following that, a second sun rose high in the sky.
Confirming that it was thest sh emitted by the Imperial gship annihted by the sceptre of the gods, I lost consciousness.
