“I...I’ve told you everything I know! Please...spare me!”

A human pilot, dominated by the parasites, was currently pleading to me to leave him alive. Chewing on the arm of a cultist pilot, I sent a signal to a group of tooth fairies.

The carnivorous fleas surrounded the pilots joyfully and rushed towards them.

“D...Don’t do this...no don’t do this!”

The pilots of the crashed fighter jets are all taken care of.

I found myself on the planet PH-101, specifically in the Utopia-02 continent. Its ecosystem resembled that of the primitive Earth, providing favorable conditions for life.

However, the planet’s beauty was only surface-deep.

‘It’s a blue hell.’

Creatures of this planet possess formidable strength, making it nearly impossible for average players to hunt or even survive here.

Around the regions rich in valuable resources, hostile wolf NPCs live, they also have their own name.

‘They’re on a whole different level than what I’ve encountered before.’

Named wolves are exceptionally powerful, posing a challenge for even someone as strong as me. Conquering this planet is difficult without the skills of a high-ranking player or a large clan.

On the flip side, even top-tier players or large clans can’t monopolize this planet. PH-101 is protected by a cult for religious reasons, preventing any construction or serious development to be done here by the other factions. Even cult players can only stay here for a limited time.

‘I chose this planet for a reason.’

PH-101 allows me to secure superior genetic essence without interference from other factions.

‘Originally, that’s how it should be.’

However, interrogating a pilot revealed that a deviation had occurred, which went against the game’s norm.

Currently, a powerful cartel named ‘Humanity’ has occupied this planet among the space outlaws. It’s unusual, considering that space outlaw cartels often have leaders with names representing their identity.

‘And it’s called Humanity.’

Before quitting space survival, there was a clan led by a ranker with a similar name. Strangely, the clan leader was a woman, and the members were exclusively male, leading to a lot of criticism in the community.

‘...Not something I, the community’s enemy, should comment on.’

Anyway, it seems Humanity cartel’s ability to occupy this place can be speculated upon.

As seen with the cult pilot I just devoured, most of Humanity’s members are cultists. This allows the Humanity cartel to move freely on this planet. In a game, this would be impossible, but in reality, it introduces a new variable.

‘Furthermore, the leader has connections with the cult’s ruling class.’

That means the leader of Humanity is at least a high-ranking cultist, surpassing the Yak Horn Cult. I don’t need to know why someone like that would engage in piracy.

‘Thanks to that, I can collect genetic essences, fulfill evolution conditions, and kill two birds with one stone.’

I finished consuming the remnants of the cultist and retrieved the tooth fairies.

According to the pilot’s words, ‘Humanity’ periodically leaves this planet due to smuggling activities.

‘If they have a ship, it would be easier for me to leave too.’

There are approximately 14 days until the pirates depart. I need to seize a ship before they leave.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

‘But before that.’ I activated the semi-transparent text box.

The Wood Devil, disguised with the help of leaves, struggled as it was caught by the blood-sucking tentacle. When I applied force to the tentacle, the creature’s bones snapped, and its entire body contorted grotesquely.

One was leisurely swallowed by the corrosion tentacle, and the other, while feeding on blood with the blood-sucking tentacle, didn’t make me lose my vigilance.

‘There should be one more.’

Wood Devils always hunt in groups of three. As expected, I saw another Wood Devil that had been on a diagonal tree fleeing.

“Kkik!”

Holding two of them, I slammed the tree. My body soared through the gap between the trees, reaching the fleeing creature.

“Kkiik?!”

The Wood Devil looked up at me as it swiftly approached. An axe bone from my upper right hand struck its head, shattering it. As the creature tried to fall with its head severed, I quickly wrapped it with my tail.

‘Easy.’

I opened my mouth wide and bit into the headless Wood Devil.

Though my jaw strength has decreased due to using the chewing power trait as material, I could still easily tear apart a Wood Devil.

‘...It tastes healthy.’

The meat of the Wood Devil had a cheap soy-meat taste. Whether it was eating Plant Lizards in the space city or similar beings with plant or tree-related names, they all had this kind of taste.

‘Wood Devils are carnivores, but why does it taste like soy meat?’

Soy meat is just a name; it probably doesn’t contain any actual meat. While pondering about such trivial thoughts, I finished eating the remaining carcasses.

As I was about to eat the one hanging from the blood-sucking tentacle, another predator appeared, drawn by the scent of blood.

The creature, with a leopard’s body and spider’s legs, was called a Nightstalker, possessing the material trait of a tail with shooting thorns.

The creature, with eight legs, swiftly darted towards me.

‘Its venom won’t work on me.’

I had to fight it differently than I did with the Wood Devils, which I incapacitated with thorn bristles.

I remained still without resistance. The creature that rushed at me bared its thick fangs and attempted to bite my neck.

No, it tried to bite me.

If my exoskeleton wasn’t tough, I would have been in trouble from its fangs.

The venom of the Nightstalker is more deadly than the neurotoxin I possess. Its rapid spread makes it difficult to use an antidote.

It might be difficult to escape death even with immunity to the venom.

‘But such a potent venom must enter the opponent’s body to be useful.’

The fangs of the Nightstalker aren’t sharp enough to pierce through my robust exoskeleton, more durable than the outer wall of a spaceship.

“Kreung?”

Only then did the creature realize something was wrong and tried to retreat, but it was too late. With my four combat arms, I had a firm grip on its body.

Holding the creature, I exerted force through the four arms. Due to my powerful strength, the Nightstalker crumpled like an empty plastic bottle.

Although the creature’s organs spilled out from its rear, I used the corrosion tentacle to suck them all up without leaving a trace.

[PR/N- Why am I getting a bad feeling here]

‘Certainly, there’s no time to rest in this place.’

While the corrosion tentacle was absorbing the organs, I chewed on the Nightstalker’s main body.

Interestingly, this one tasted like a croissant.

Since the corrosion tentacle has no taste buds, I couldn’t discern the flavor of the organs, but it probably wasn’t croissant-like originally.

After thoroughly licking the blood that splattered on the tree, I continued my journey.

After breaking through a few more attacks, I suddenly found myself near the pirates’ camp.

Conveniently, the sun was setting in the jungle.
