I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Isabelle sits in the crypt and watches the video with empty eyes.

The guy’s appearance was a little different from what I remembered.

It clearly had the same appearance as Coldblood with a short stature, but it seemed as if an image of a woman had been printed and overlaid on top of it.

“Aimov.”

A person with a mixture of coldblood and human female appearance turns his head towards me.

Isabel’s strange appearance, and even recognizing me. This place was a different space from the world of memories I had seen so far.

‘Maybe it’s a world created to confine itself.’

Penelope was injured while fighting an enemy. She ran away leaving her sister behind. And even being tricked by Cynthia into cooperating. The fragments of memories shown on the walls of the crypt were all unhappy memories.

In other words, this is a nightmare world that instills guilt and forces atonement.

The guy who was looking at me looks behind me.

“…and my sister.”

When I turned my head, there was a strange being there. Unlike me, which was only reduced in size, PS-111 had changed quite a bit. The image of Penelope, a human, was overlaid on the appearance of the Mutant Screamer.

A being who was neither a human nor a Coldblood nor a Mutant Screamer spoke.

“‘Little brother’. It’s all over. Alshas was defeated, and all elements that could harm my brother were eliminated.”
“….”
“So you can come out.”

Isabel shook her head at PS-111’s words.

“Why didn’t I know about it earlier? “My sister is already dead.”
“I am not dead.”
“Maybe I just didn’t want to admit it. “My sister died because of me, so I’m trying to avoid responsibility.”
“According to confirmed memory information, it is force majeure.”
“I lied to myself because I wanted to live alone about such topics.”
“no. “You did your best.”

PS-111 continued to try to persuade him, but it didn’t reach him.

‘Isabel feels guilty just by looking at the listed memories.’

Among the numerous pasts, only the extreme parts that can cause pain to oneself are repeated. Since the owner of the space wants to abuse himself, it is understandable that PS-111’s words will not be heard.

As long as the conversation itself doesn’t happen, they won’t listen to anything we say.

‘I need to relieve my guilt.’

Since we got a glimpse into Isabelle’s mind, the reverse could also be possible. Using PS-111’s original, Penelope’s memories, would be a great help in removing his guilt.

‘The problem is that PS-111’s memory is almost completely lost.’

In the past, it was heavily damaged while fighting Ice Horror. Thanks to No. 26, he was able to barely recover his brain, but in the process, most of his memories were lost and a new personality took over. Since Penelope’s memory itself is limited, I don’t know if it can be used to convince Isabel.

‘but….’

I looked at PS-111 trying hard to persuade Isabelle.

The guy didn’t give up and was trying to convey what he felt after seeing Isabelle’s memories. As if that was the only means of conveying one’s feelings.

‘The heart.’

Suddenly an old thought comes to mind.

My mother was a very cold person. Even before my accident, my mother never once said she loved me.

I once asked my father about this when I was young. At that time, my father said that there are things that can be conveyed even if they are not expressed in words. My mother says she loves me on the inside, even though she’s not good at expressing it.

I think it is true that my mother cared about me just as my father said. Because you continued to pay the expensive hospital bills. However, it took quite a long time to understand my mother’s feelings.

‘If you think about it, the relationship between Ardhai and Ham Ort was also like that.’

Ham Ort deliberately chose to abandon Adhai in order to save him from the evil black dragon. Because of that, Aadhai lived with resentment towards his compatriots for a long time.

Although I heard the truth later, the resentment was not easily resolved. Even considering that Gallagon is a being that cannot lie, it is not easy to understand.

No. 26 solved a problem that took a long time to solve by sharing memories and minds.

‘What she needs may be her feelings rather than words.’

If PS-111’s emotions were directly connected, it would be a great help in recovering Isabel.

I called PS-111.

“Isabel doesn’t listen to anyone. So let’s change our approach.”
“I can’t give up on my little brother. I don’t want my brother to suffer. “We need to continue the conversation to wake up my brother.”

PS-111 was always machine-like and cold-hearted, but that wasn’t the case now. The guy is getting nervous now.

I calmly scolded him.

“I never said I was giving up. “I said let’s change our method.”
“What method do you mean?”
“You have to tell him your feelings directly like No. 26 did.”
“I am a mutant screamer. My emotions are nothing more than a product of many complex factors and chemical reactions. “I can’t meet your expectations at all.”

I know it without having to say it.

This guy is in a much more confusing form than Isabel. Because it is a being created through a complex process, it is a mixture of various selves.

‘That’s why now is your chance.’

Among the images of self realized in a mixed state, Penelope’s latent consciousness is also included. Since his ego is influencing his thinking, it will be easy to convey his feelings to Isabel.

“Furthermore, I am a combination of machine and organic matter. Most of my thinking is driven by AI. The same goes for emotions.”
“Well, you’ll find out when you try it yourself.”
“It is a meaningless act.”
“It’s not something that requires a long time anyway, so there’s no reason not to do it.”
“That’s true.”

When I refused to give up my opinion, PS-111 eventually nodded.

“What should I do?”
“Let’s try it like we did outside. “Put your foreheads together.”

PS-111 approached his brother and put his head close to him. Even though Penelope’s afterimage was blurred, no emotion appeared on Isabel’s face.

When their foreheads touched, the image overlaid on their bodies shimmered like water droplets on the surface of the water.

“….”

Isabelle still shows no reaction.

Instead, the walls of the crypt responded. Memories that were repeatedly projected onto the wall began to noise and slowly changed into something else.

Memories of the past that were sharp as a razor blade become blurry like fog. Clusters of light of various colors fill the empty space.

As if reflecting the man’s mental state, the dark crypt quickly turned into beautiful colors. The guy’s eyes moved slowly, following the brilliant light.

The light filling the wall was not fixed but constantly moving. It was as if there was fog or a mosaic and nothing was clearly visible, but strangely enough, I could clearly feel what was being conveyed.

It was ‘thank you’.

Thank you for living without giving up.

A tribute to the efforts made so far to preserve the legacy left by her sister.

Lastly, I would like to praise my family for believing and waiting for me to return someday.

The numerous mosaics painted on the walls conveyed only one message. That was in complete contrast to the past that had tortured him until now.

It is also what Isabel needs most.

“….”

A single tear rolls down the guy’s expressionless face like a doll. As expected, connecting emotions with PS-111 was effective.

“I, I, everything….”

The guy who was quietly shedding tears opened his mouth.

“If only I had noticed a little sooner, if I had been stronger…”

As the words continue, the space becomes distorted again. A shadow falls on the beautiful ball of light. What used to look like a mosaic becomes clearer and tries to return to the dark past.

The guy’s guilt and PS-111’s emotions are clashing.

“I could have avoided my sister suffering…”

No, rather, guilt is consuming PS-111’s message.

Looking at his reaction now, if I make a mistake, PS-111 becoming a mutant screamer may be added to the bad memories he had.

‘That’s annoying.’

If things continue like this, Isabel will be completely buried in a mental prison filled with guilt.

The problem is that PS-111 no longer has the means to pressure Isabelle.

‘I have to convince him now.’

While PS-111 is biding his time, we need to destroy his prison cell.

I approached the twins, who were pressing their foreheads together.

“Isabel.”
“I was always the problem. “Because I’m not better than my sister…”
“You’re right.”

As I affirmed that he was self-harming, the memories playing on the wall became clearer. PS-111 also trembled in embarrassment.

‘I can’t back out now.’
“PS, if you had prepared more, you wouldn’t have lost Penelope.”
“!”
“But we can’t change the past now. Your sister became a mechanical creature, and you became a similar creature. “Cynthia, who deceived you, is already dead.”

As soon as Isabelle closed her mouth, the atmosphere in the crypt quickly calmed down. Pitch-black darkness covers his mental world.

“by the way. The guys who turned Penelope into a screamer are still alive and well. They are happy to see their successful research results. “How happy will I be now that I have a good sample?”
“….”

I don’t know what the head of Star Union, the head of the Star Union involved in the production of PS-111, and the matriarch of Megacorp Garmelda, are actually thinking.

But that doesn’t matter here.

“While you are here, they will try to retrieve PS-111 somehow. I don’t want to lose him, but I don’t know what’s going on in the world. “What would you do if they took your sister away?”
“…stop.”
“The culprit who pushed your sisters into hell still remains outside. But will you be here? “If they dissect and torture your sister, will you regret it?”
“stop!”

Isabel screams as if she can’t listen anymore. Every time the guy’s shout echoed in the crypt, the dark memories cracked.

“Why are you giving up here? Is it because PS-111 is not the kind of sister you want? If not, why don’t you try to protect your family? ”
“Damn you Morph! “What do you know…!”
“The only thing I know, Isabel, is that you deserve to be happy.”
“what?”
“Erase everyone who stands in the way of you and your sister’s happiness. All those who bully your sister and those who insult you. “Be happy on their corpses.”
“I-I’m happy….”
“You’ve worked hard so far. “Don’t give up here.”

The moment I finished speaking, the memories on the wall shattered like glass breaking. At the same time, the entire crypt in which we were standing shook violently.

“…Amov is right. “I have work to do.”
“Little brother?”
“Sister, in reality, in this world, and here….”

Isabelle, with the light in her eyes now back, looks at us.

“Thank you for loving me.”

With those words, the prison of nightmares collapsed.

Consciousness returns, as if slowly waking up from a deep sleep. My consciousness is transferred to Aimov’s body, and the shell of my body slowly comes to life. Starting with the auxiliary organs sensing the smell of blood flowing in the manufacturing plant, the senses are felt in that order, followed by the large head and long neck.

‘When I linked to the nest and released it, my senses returned quickly, but not this time.’

I don’t know if it was because I had grown bigger, or because my entire consciousness had entered another being’s body, but my recovery was slow.

When I was finally able to move my central head, I opened my eyes.

I thought I would see No. 26 and Aadhai as usual, but no. As soon as my senses returned, the first sight I saw was something completely unexpected.

“Pinche puta (God damn you bitch)! “Where did you hide my pistol?”
“Ke, kehe! “I don’t know…”

A Screamer with the body of a centipede and the face of a human woman is holding onto the limbless Cult. Isabel, who had acquired a beautiful new body, was strangling Alshas with several arms.

“Little brother, your body is not yet fully coordinated, so please refrain from making extreme movements.”
｢My friend’s family is strong!｣
｢I’m sick｣｢Isn’t it?｣｢Suddenly｣｢I’m healthy｣

PS-111, who had just woken up like me, wriggled his long body and tried to stop his rampaging new brother. Behind them, No. 26 and Adhai are watching in amazement.

“Aimoff, what on earth have you done?”

As soon as the Mother of Heaven woke up, she opened her beak wide as she saw Isabel causing trouble.

I answered her question briefly.

[Zuzuzuzu zuzuzzu zuzuzuzu (I told you not to give up as I asked)]
｢No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like that’s all you said?｣

Other than that, he didn’t say anything special.

It’s just a reminder that he has work left to do. He will remain by our side until he fulfills his duty.

The duty of revenge.
