285: Analysis of the Cosmic Monster

'Ahahahahahaaa!!'

Vilijianira's shout echoes as if summoning determination.

合わせてパワードスーツの俺の手足が動いて、突撃してくる宇宙怪獣シュウの群れを先頭から順番に叩き、叩き、叩き、蹴って、叩き、弾き、叩き、逸らし、弾き、叩き、貫いて、弾き、叩き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き、弾き……。

Wait a moment.

All the cosmic monsters Shuu attacking from the middle are being repelled as if by some force.

Wait, this is my body, but I can't comprehend the speed at which the attacks from the cosmic monsters Shuu are being blocked, and the weakened ones are being finished off one by one.

What is this?

"No, wait. Calm down. We need to analyze this first."

Yet even with Viljaniira's impossible movements, there was no sign of the number of the space monster Shuu decreasing.

It seemed that not only was it increasing by absorbing the surrounding rock formations, but it was also continuously multiplying through the power of the polyhedral object prepared by Funaka, which appeared to serve as its core.

Even if Virijanila's eyes are as sharp as ever, I can't believe it'll be able to keep repelling every approaching Cosmic Monster Shuu forever. I need to speed up the analysis.

"Alright, second phase of analysis complete. I'll enable you to hear the voice of the Cosmic Monster Shuu."

『Thank you.』

Second phase of analysis and reflection complete.

It appears the Cosmic Monster Shuu communicates through specific energy waves.

Naturally, this includes information about how it will launch its next attack.

By observing these signals and converting them into sound, we can access the very information the enemy is trying to keep hidden.

"3... 2... 1... GO!"

Yet what reached our ears was nothing but a cry of resentment.

"I will not forgive. I will not forgive. I will not forgive. Humans will not forgive. Humans will not forgive those who devoured me. Humans will not forgive those who killed me. Humans will not forgive those who defiled my remains. They will devour them completely. They will eradicate them utterly. Just as I was eradicated!"

"Ah, I see. So it's roughly the same as Shuu Suumeree, then?"

"Looks like it. Though..."

The voice echoing from the cosmic monster Shuu is mostly filled with hatred and resentment toward humanity.

It's unclear what kind of cosmic monster the original Shuu Suumeree was, but one thing is certain—she died harboring an immense, unfathomable hatred toward whoever killed her.

After all, she distorted even her own OS so severely that the resentment lingered beyond death.

Yet what echoes through the air isn't just that hatred.

"Attacking head-on won't work. Outflank him."

"Call me forth outside. Surround him from both sides."

"Don't let it touch the gravestone. That is our core."

Occasionally, a voice creeps in like static noise.

It resembles the voice of the cosmic monster Shuu, yet slightly different.

Perhaps... this is Fuunaka's voice.

Probably, the reason this manifests in such a form is that Fuunaka's power, mixed in before activation, is guiding the movements of the cosmic monster Shuu.

"Looks like Fuunaka's mixed in."

And, in sync with Fuunaka's voice, the cosmic monster Shuu actually changes its motion.

A series of attacks slightly offset in timing.

An assault approaching from behind, striking from a blind spot.

Forming a dense cluster like a wall, blocking our movement.

Displaying a variety of unpredictable motions.

"Yeah, but that's exactly what makes it readable. I saw it directly with my own eyes—its very presence felt like a solid mass of malice. Now that we know what it is, it's actually much easier to handle when it targets us directly."

"I get that it's visible through the 'Hetero Mirror,' but its reaction speed is insane..."

"It's the result of Vee-sama's eyes and Satā-sama's powered suit merging into a freely moving body."

Yet Vrijiani effortlessly handles it all.

Continuous assaults are repelled one after another, starting from the front of combat.

Attacks from blind spots—though they weren't truly blind spots thanks to the 'Hetero Mirror'—are simply blown away by moving the tentacles on her back just slightly.

She skillfully dodged the sudden stop—possible only because the wall lacked internal substance—and even landed a one-sided blow on the individual composing the wall.

"Satya. Do you think striking the core with this fist will stop it?"

"No, better not do that. It reeks of a trap. I'll reverse-engineer a safer way to disable it from analyzing the OS. Just wait a moment."

"I see. I suspected as much. The wall layout seemed suspicious, and when I considered smashing it, I suddenly sensed a sharp increase in threat."

From Vilijaniela's words, Shuu immediately checked the OS related to the alien monster's proliferation.

Yeah, it's a trap.

If activated, it would instantly accelerate event collapse and trigger a massive explosion.

But since we know it's a trap, there are countless ways to counter it.

Now then, about time...

"Satā-sama. The analysis data on the Space Monster Shū has been received from Imperial Star Vanilla Sid. The sender is Dr. Mizeon. Security checks have been completed."

"Truly impressive, Dr. Mizeon!"

And here, the analysis results regarding the Space Monster Shū's OS, sent by Dr. Mizeon, arrived.

This will greatly shorten the time required for analysis and the subsequent processes.

"Then, Satā..."

Hold on. I'll pause the phenomenon collapse in a minute, and in ten minutes, I'll finish it off for good.

I began generating the necessary mods.
