My Children Swarm the Cosmos – Chapter 42.2

Euryale and 8 Lemegetons arrived at the planet with a red atmosphere.

The surface of the 4th planet, the main colony site, was covered with Xenotera in the meantime and turned black.

Kreion’s colony has grown to about 450m, and the chimeraz structures that have sprung up around it have grown to almost 300m, turning into a metropolis of grotesque skyscrapers.

The snout of the complex Skeletunnel, which is intricately laid out underground, protrudes constantly, and the bridges connecting each structure and the passages on the ground are like spider webs.

Mutated chimeraz, whose genes were not established separately, were naturalized outside the colony site, and similarly, structure chimeraz, whose genes were not established, grew everywhere like lush plants.

The ecosystem of chimeraz has been formed.

Kreion sees the sight of chimeraz, whom he had never seen before in his life, hunting other weak chimeraz in groups.

‘Ludwig. What happened?’

➖I have applied the ‘Autonomous Evolutionary System’ suggested by Gnox-nim to all colony planets. . . . If you do it this way, you won’t have to work as hard as before in evolution. . . .

‘What a creative idea. Gnox.’

➖I did my best in the role you gave me. What do you think?

‘Powerful individuals can be born outside the colony site. How did you come up with such an idea?’

➖Chimeraz have a superior rate of evolution. The gene system is also unified, so it is easy for the mutant generation to establish itself. Ordinary organisms require a very long time and many generations to evolve further, but chimeraz have a rate of replacement that is incomparable to that.

‘This planet does not have a diverse environment. It’s all covered with Xenotera and optimized for the children to survive and thrive. What factors allow wild children to evolve on a colony planet with such controlled environmental factors?’

➖The evolution pursued by wild mutant chimeraz is ‘strengthening’, not ‘adaptation’.

Then, as if explaining Gnox’s intentions, the chimeraz that succeeded in hunting in groups are suddenly mutating.

➖I put a very unstable mutant gene into the wild chimeraz. They mutate constantly for the survival of their species, regardless of whether they are injured or killed during hunting, or whether they succeed in hunting or escape.

➖Wild chimeraz will mutate more than ten times a day. Then, they die or thrive due to the wrong mutation.

➖Through such a process, the wild chimeraz that survive the best will eventually be born, and we can capture the strong species and absorb it into the collective consciousness.

‘Do wild chimeraz have the instinct to hunt their own kind?’

➖No. The motive for hunting is just hunger. Because they are all carnivorous.

Kreion picks a wild chimeraz and sends out a wave.

‘. . . These don’t have a controlling master.’

➖There are too many of them. However, even if they are not connected by waves, wild chimeraz do not attack chimeraz that are under the control of the collective consciousness.

‘What’s the principle?’

➖Because individuals connected to the collective consciousness and waves are recognized as natural disasters and are afraid.

➖And when you see the leader or Kreion-nim, where numerous waves gather, well,. . . . I guess they feel like they are looking at the creator who they cannot touch.

That’s why there isn’t a single wild chimeraz in the colony.

Kreion took this opportunity to borrow the eyes of Cresecter on the 3rd planet of Phlegeth.

Somehow, the snake-like wild chimeraz swimming in the hot lava is already forming an ecosystem.

That kind of heat resistance is worth referring to.

Next, he looked at Berne’s 5th planet.

Some wild chimeraz dug holes like ants, formed their own crude collective consciousness, and fought similar group activities to seize the structures that emit Xenotera.

➖In a word, it can be called an automatic evolution system. Just watch and wait, and when you see a decent wild chimeraz, all you have to do is harvest the genes.

🔷🔷🔷

This time, it was news from Nazar.

➖I made one more Euryale.

‘Wasn’t there a shortage of organic resources?’

➖It was lacking. However, thanks to Anima-nim who expanded the colony site to planets 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8, I was able to make one more in such a short period of time.

Chimeraz has spread more on each planet in this star system.

‘Which leader manages the increased colony planets?’

➖There is one small colony under Anima-nim’s control. And the external environment of the small colony was naturalized like Kreion-nim’s colony planet, which allowed us to save the mental power required for control.

➖Anima-nim knows better about the number of groups that have skyrocketed due to the increased colony planets and the status of resources.

‘Yes. I see.’

Kreion answered that way and entered the throne room.

Gats, the Elite Guard, Ludwig, and Anima were waiting.

“I’ve heard the report. Everyone did a good job.”

“Thank you. . . .”

“Kreion. I heard that there is a shortage of organic resources?”

“I heard it from Nazar. Can you tell me more?”

“I also made more Euryale and Lemegeton groups. As the number of colony planets increased, the required organic resources increased. However, the amount of resources we obtained also increased.”

“Are the resources in this star system not enough right now?”

“Soon, we will use up everything on the planet and it will be insufficient. Then we have to go to the dark nebula and procure resources in a complicated way. In the first place, this was a star system where there were no living things, so it is always a job to create organic matter.”

Kreion sat on the throne.

“All of humanity is hostile to our race.”

“Did it end up like that?”

“The UNF came forward and declared war. There seems to be no way for us to compromise with humans.”

“. . . .”

Now that things have come to this, Anima also agrees.

Chimeraz is at war with humanity.

“Master. . . . In order to confront humanity, I think the size of our children needs to be hundreds of millions of times larger than it is now. . . .”

“I think so too.”

Chimeraz cannot be considered superior to humans just because they defeated the Darwin Foundation and the Nemea nation-state.

“Humans must have more than we know. In order to increase the odds of winning, the territory of chimeraz must expand more quickly.”

“We need more children. . . .”

“Yeah. This star system and the dark nebula are not enough. So from now on, we will aim for other star systems to expand our territory.”

“If so, we should aim for planets with living things one by one.”

“Our race will become predators and invaders to someone. We will eat and grow stronger with the primitive civilizations and life forms in the areas of this galaxy that are alienated from humanity.”

Before Kreion could give any instructions, Anima went out.

“I’ll go. You stay here.”

“Can you do it?”

“I was also born as a ruler. I have memories of being a human, but I am a chimeraz now. . . . You saved me too. So this is something I was prepared for since you left for the Nemea nation-state.”

“Good. Then I will give you Euryale and Lemegeton groups.”

Monsters, predators, invaders. It doesn’t matter what other species think of chimeraz. After all, no life can live without the death of something. The same goes for humans, alien races in the Local Group, and even primitive life forms. Chimeraz is no exception.

It is time to solidify the direction of the race that has been postponed all along.

Chimeraz is an invading race. It is not a race that is invaded.

“There is only one order. You judge autonomously and lead your children for the rest.”

“Yeah.”

How many experiences and incidents were there before this decision and this direction were solidified? How much agony and conflict have you had?

“I will destroy the Ark and make humanity surrender. Before that, we must weaken the power of humans and sufficiently increase our power.”

Now he has truly become a chimeraz. All events and situations define the current chimeraz. Adapt to the forced environment. Decide on an attitude that has a reason. We finally come to practice the best way to survive.

Until the population of 74 billion seems ridiculous.

“Detect, invade, absorb, and conquer other life forms.”

“Even if the opponent is a human group, do not hesitate to attack if you can win.”

“We will spread the seeds of the swarm throughout this galaxy.”
