The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 76
Yeonjam’s eyes, which had been deeply sunken in contemplation, wavered for a moment.
What on earth was I thinking?
Ever since being contaminated, greed kept clouding my vision. This couldn’t be. I had waited for ten thousand years…
As tears rolled down again from my sorrowful heart, Dam asked.
“Yeonjam, do you still want to reach the heavens?”
Yeonjam’s body stiffened as he leaned against Dam, absorbing the pure energy.
“You know my name.”
“I’ve known it for a long time.”
Yeonjam’s eyes wavered once again.
One who cannot be touched by contamination.
One who sees right through me.
“I couldn’t sense any gods in this land, but was it you? Are you a god who came to test me?”
Dam chuckled softly.
* * *
A god, how interesting.
Not a god. An alien.
I know the name because I’m a veteran player of 【Pokjak Pokjak】.
But a little misunderstanding might be good.
“If you want, I’ll become your god.”
“That means…”
“I’ll make you ascend.”
“…!”
Here, ascension meant the carp’s evolution.
However, since Yeonjam was a really old elder who wouldn’t understand the word evolution, I used the term ascension.
“How can I reach that path?”
It was a desperate voice.
Just from the voice, it seemed like he was almost convinced.
The reason the Millennium Carp can’t evolve right now is because of contamination. He’s become a Xion.
But if I purify him, he could escape from being a Xion and evolve as a Planet Mon.
Of course, there was something I needed to obtain first.
If I just let this pass, I couldn’t call myself a 【Pokjak Pokjak】 veteran.
But really? Would this be possible?
I was uncertain, but without showing it outwardly, I confidently extended my hand.
“Give me your orb.”
“…!”
Yeonjam’s eyes widened in surprise.
Well, if someone asked for the wish-fulfilling jewel I’d cultivated for ten thousand years, I’d make that expression too.
I stood up before Yeonjam could get angry.
Heave!
Beep. Beep beep beep.
I took out the spaceship that I had folded small and kept in my pocket, then boarded it.
Beep beep beep.
As I entered the spaceship and floated up, Yeonjam’s eyes became round.
Getting surprised by just this isn’t enough yet.
Giggling inwardly, I immediately used ‘Decoration’.
Then the half-collapsed pavilion began returning to its original form.
Creak creak creak!
It was a movement as if time had been reversed.
As the pavilion moved, Yeonjam tilted and fell into the pond with a splash.
I rode the spaceship and leisurely sat on the edge of the pavilion’s roof tiles.
Then I used purification to cleanly blow away the contamination in the pond.
Yeonjam blinked his eyes stupidly.
To him now, I would appear more godlike than anyone else.
“I’ll become your god, so you become my follower and ascend.”
“…!”
“Throw away everything burdensome.”
The ‘burdensome thing’ I mentioned here meant the ‘wish-fulfilling jewel’.
In 【Pokjak Pokjak】, the wish-fulfilling jewel was called ‘Money Jackpot’. An item I desperately needed right now!
“How about it?”
I came out of the spaceship with beeping sounds. Yeonjam came up beside me and bowed his head.
“I thought I needed the orb to ascend, but was I wrong?”
“The orb is just a tool used for accumulating merit.”
Yeonjam closed his mouth. A moment of silence lingered.
“…”
“…”
Did he need time to think?
While I was waiting, wiggling my non-existent toes.
Yeonjam placed his hand on his chest.
A shining orb emerged from his chest.
“It contains ten thousand years of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. I offer it to my god.”
I received the orb.
“Good. I’ll make you ascend.”
I approached the giant carp. The carp’s scales were blackened and dead from contamination.
That wasn’t all. I hadn’t noticed from far away, but people were stuck one by one between the carp’s scales.
I was horrified.
‘Corpses?!’
…Or maybe not.
Looking closely, I could see them breathing.
‘They seem to be unconscious.’
Unlike other mutants, since Yeonjam was a spiritual being, he seemed to have captured intruders without killing them.
I let out a sigh of relief and reached my hand toward the carp.
Soon the power of purification enveloped the giant carp.
And that was the moment.
Rumble-
“…?!”
The sky began to roar.
Light struck the carp vertically, and the carp’s form began to change.
‘What is this…!’
My mouth fell open.
Gyarados was becoming Gyarados.
It’s, it’s becoming a dragon…!

Gong Ju Won and the team members were swiftly moving to the operation area.
Then when Gong Ju Won at the front stopped moving and raised his fist, the team members crouched down and began watching their surroundings.
“Wh-wh-what the hell is that?”
The Deputy Commander at the back asked.
“I definitely thought it was the moon… but it moved…”
“Everyone stay calm and lower your weapons.”
“But…!”
“Our mission is reconnaissance. With this number of personnel, we absolutely cannot face Xion. Do you want to die pointlessly?”
At that, everyone quickly lowered their gun barrels.
They could instinctively tell.
That thing wasn’t something to fight. It was like a disaster that overwhelmed humans.
And they were supposed to face something like that?
They exchanged glances with each other, feeling utterly powerless. As if asking whether they were the only ones who realized that facing that thing would be insane.
The new battalion commander who had been so spirited about catching Xion should come and see this directly. This presence that left one speechless.
“Pull yourselves together. If you get entranced, you’ll die.”
At Gong Ju Won’s words, the soldiers gritted their teeth and held their breath.
But then it happened.
Bounce. Bounce bounce.
A small shadow moved with bouncing sounds on top of the broken pavilion.
‘This sound is?’
Gong Ju Won’s eyes widened as he recognized it was Do Dam’s footsteps.
The other team members were equally surprised.
“There’s something else up there.”
“Pink… jelly… it looks like.”
“I see it that way too.”
The team members reflexively raised their gun barrels.
They could kill that thing. That’s what they seemed to think.
Gong Ju Won reflexively raised his hand.
“Wait. That’s…”
At that moment, the pink jelly flew up riding a box.
“It flew…”
But there was something even more surprising.
Creak creak creak!
The collapsed pavilion began to be rebuilt.
Everyone’s mouths fell open at the sight that seemed like time was reversing.
What kind of being in the world could possibly make such a thing happen?
That wasn’t all.
The jelly declared.
“I’ll become your god, so you can become my servant and ascend.”
God.
The team members trembled as if electrified.
Meanwhile, the jelly approached the giant carp.
At the same time, the black carp began to fade away, enveloped in light.
The team members froze at the unbelievable scene.
“…Xion is disappearing.”
“How… is this happening?”
Gong Ju Won spoke quietly but firmly to the surprised team members.
“Xion is devouring Xion.”
