Transformed into Cosmic Horror in a Sci-Fi Universe

A species created in Zone Z.

I roughly refer to them as Zerg, but they named their own species ‘Warden’.

It means ‘ruler’ in their language, apparently.

To think they’d attach the name ‘ruler’ to their own species name.

While it seems quite arrogant, their abilities were certainly worthy of such a claim.

Not only are their basic specs higher than the Lubaran race, but considering their continuous evolution and growth, they possess enough power to potentially dominate the universe.

And after numerous evolutions, they finally gained the ability to use ‘psionic energy’, just like the races in StarXraft.

They say they’ve acquired the power to manipulate the powerful cosmic magnetic fields drifting in space, but well… let’s just accept it since we’re already in a sci-fi universe, physics be damned.

With that, they can create psionic lightning storms, directly transmit their thoughts into others’ minds like the Outer Gods, and apparently do many other things as well.

It’s called psionic energy, but it’s easier to think of it as a power that can do pretty much anything you want, like the magic of the Meias race.

But now imagine that expanded to a cosmic scale.

Wow… I just left them alone, but who would have thought they’d develop such power.

Evolution is truly terrifying.

In the original Star universe, wasn’t it a concept like superpowers where special individuals were born with the ability to handle this power?

Something like being a god if you’re above level 12, that sort of thing.

[ My power is godlike. You will die by divine punishment. ]

I wonder if that monster, obviously playing the role of Kerrigan, could be considered as having level 12 psionic energy by that standard.

Since it’s said to have reached the power of a god.

How powerful must it be to penetrate Elftenium, the strongest material in this universe, and affect the ship’s hull?

If it weren’t for Eugene’s Galactic Union, and if they hadn’t discovered the new material called Elftenium, the universe would surely have belonged to these beings.

[ It seems you’re protecting yourselves with some strange material, but that’s just buying time. ]

The Blade Monster once again exerted its tremendous power, which had reached the level of a lower-ranking Outer God.

Massive energy moved, and once more, intense lightning struck towards the cosmic mothership and various other vessels.

Kwa-zizizik!

Pueong!

Some of the ships that hadn’t been replaced with Elftenium even had parts exploding off.

[ Everyone, get a grip!! Don’t be shaken by talk of gods or whatever. Even if the enemy is an Outer God, our fleet has the power to defeat even that! ]

Eugene quickly gives orders, holding together the mental state of those who were becoming confused.

[ I authorize the use of neutron cannons. Deploy double shields! Have we identified the type of energy? ]

[ Yes, yes! It shows a pattern similar to a cosmic magnetic storm. Although it’s much more powerful… ]

[ Then deploy plasma shields strong against magnetic storms. Increase our defense power even a little! ]

[ Yes, yes! Understood! ]

As the commander issued orders calmly without losing composure, those who had been confused quickly regained their calm.

As expected of my avatar.

I’m quite proud.

After giving those orders, he looked at the vice-commander, Lowie Hendrick, and said,

[ Lowie. We’re using the magic amplification device. ]

[ …?! ]

Lowie Hendrick’s eyes widened in surprise at his words.

The magic amplification device.

This is a device developed by the Meias race, elves, and various scientists.

As the name suggests, it’s a device that greatly amplifies and emits magical power.

For convenience, it’s called a magic amplification device, but it can actually amplify most types of energy.

However, since magic is the most efficient, it’s best used for magic amplification as its name implies.

But this isn’t just a simple amplification.

The output increases by… about 100 times? To that extent.

Even I was surprised, I tell you.

Of course, it comes with an enormous cost.

First, the one emitting magic for amplification will have their magic depleted to the point of near death.

With a 100-fold amplification, it’s inevitable that it would drain an enormous amount of magic.

Not only that, but this device is, in fact, single-use.

Due to its extremely high output, it’s inevitably destroyed after one use.

Because of these flaws that make it virtually incomplete, they were going to discard it, saying it was too risky to use in actual combat.

But Eugene added it to the mothership’s weapons, feeling it could be used as a secret weapon of last resort.

And now he’s going to use it right away?

It certainly is that level of threat.

Literally an ‘Outer God-class’ tremendous enemy has appeared.

And that’s not even the end of it.

Behind it, countless Warden species that have achieved various evolutionary paths are swarming in.

Their numbers are at least tens of billions.

There are also numerous absurd monsters at the level of A-class giant beasts mixed in, and even the weakest individuals possess combat power equivalent to that of a fairly strong bare-handed elf.

Eugene probably doesn’t grasp and prepare for all of this perfectly, but he seems to have recognized that this crisis is serious enough to risk his life.

The quicker the judgment, the better.

Dragging things out while consuming power and testing the waters is something that only happens in movies or comics. If possible, ending the war quickly with the most powerful single strike is the optimal move.

However, there’s a problem.

[ It’s too dangerous! Haven’t you heard? The caster will dry up and die from magical power depletion! ]

Right, it means the user of the device dies due to the overwhelmingly powerful output.

And the person trying to use that device now is none other than Eugene, the leader of the expedition team and the de facto head of the Galactic Union.

[ It’s okay. I won’t die. ]

I think I know why Eugene has that confidence.

It might be because of his enormous magical power that’s incomparable to others, but he probably thinks he won’t die because he’s my avatar.

Well… unfortunately, that’s a mistaken belief.

No matter how powerful Eugene is, if he’s put in a state where he would die, he has no choice but to die.

[ If by any chance I die, you become the leader and guide them. Anyway, if we just get through this one, there won’t be any major threats. ]

Oh dear…

There’s more than one or two points I want to object to.

First of all, if you die, not just the expedition team but the entire Galactic Union will fall into chaos.

It’s not the time to be doing something like exploration, you know.

And even if we continue to lead the expedition team, Lowie Hendrick doesn’t have the capacity to lead the expedition team.

Lastly, you think everything will be fine if we just get through this?

Unfortunately, that’s not the case at all.

They have beings that are on par with or even superior to that Blade Beast.

The existence of the ‘Transcendent Being’ that controls all Warden is exactly that.

We need to figure out how to deal with that too before we can say we’ve completely overcome this crisis. Do you really think that one Blade Beast is the end of it?

[ Sigh…. ]

He pretends to know everything, but in the end, Eugene is just a creation made by me.

He’s just an ordinary mortal who can’t see even an inch ahead.

He mounted the magic amplification device and used the most destructive magic he could cast.

[ Eraser. ]

Flash!

An incredible disintegration beam that literally erases everything, worthy of being called an eraser, passes by the side of the neutron cannons being fired at the enemies.

100 times the normal Eraser magic.

Moreover, the caster of this magic is Eugene, the strongest magician.

The destructive power that could erase an entire planet with a single spell has been strengthened 100 times.

It was fired precisely at the Blade Beast and the Warden species.

{ ?! }

Recognizing the danger, the Blade Beast immediately moved its body to avoid it.

Hmm… at this rate, we might not be able to kill it completely.

Eugene even risked his life, but it’s turning out to be a bit disappointing.

[ …Ah, damn it. ]

Can’t be helped.

Maybe I’ll help out just this once.

It’s absolutely not because he’s my avatar that I’m giving him special treatment.

It’s just that if Eugene retires like this and loses pathetically to the Warden species, it won’t be interesting.

Swish─

Using my power slightly, I prevented the Blade Beast from moving.

{ Wh-What?! }

The Blade Beast was startled as it suddenly realized its body was caught by something and couldn’t move.

{ …Are you abandoning us? }

And looking up at the universe dejectedly, the Blade Beast speaks.

Is it talking to me, the creator?

Wait, did these guys know that they were creatures created by me?

Hmm… no, it’s not that surprising, is it?

It’s not unusual for intelligent life forms to believe they are creations of a god and worship that god.

It’s always been that way, but it can’t be said that they’re aware of my existence.

Well, anyway, exposed to the Eraser magic like that, the Blade Beast gradually disintegrated and disappeared.

It tried its best to endure by creating a barrier with 12th-grade psionic energy, but it couldn’t withstand Eugene’s maximum output magic amplified 100 times.

Does this mean that with the help of the amplification device, Eugene can produce output beyond 12th-grade psionic energy?

Come to think of it, even in the Star universe, there was psionic energy above 12th grade.

Although 12th grade is praised as god-level, that’s just among mortals. The true gods are said to possess 13th or 14th-grade psionic energy.

Well, anyway.

We’ve won for now.

Without the Blade Beast, the others are defenseless.

They’re nothing more than prey for the fleet.
