16: Chapter 16 Instant Kill, Absorption, Enhancement – ​​A Complete Process

Of course,

The massive commotion caused by the battle between Godzilla and the Mutated Cat seemed to have alarmed the Core Area.

A large number of footsteps echoed from the surroundings once again.

Luo Yu looked up.

In every direction of the ruins, countless pairs of green eyes lit up.

Mutated Ratss, Mutated Dogs, Mutated Cats...

There were over eighty of them.

Moreover,

Several of them were particularly massive.

Those were C-Class Mutated Beasts.

“It seems all the Mutated Beasts in the Core Area have come out to protect the nuclear radiation,” Luo Yu muttered to himself. “This is perfect; I can deal with them all at once.”

“Roar!!”

Seeing so many snacks,

Godzilla also let out an excited roar toward the sky.

The terrifying sound waves spread out, causing the entire Core Area to tremble.

Those Mutated Beasts were deterred by the roar, their movements pausing for a moment, but they quickly recovered and charged frantically at Godzilla.

Godzilla did not back down.

It moved its four legs and took the initiative to meet them.

A slaughter began.

Godzilla's fighting style was simple and brutal.

When encountering small Mutated Beasts, it would simply slap them to death with one claw.

When encountering medium-sized Mutated Beasts, it would sweep them away with its tail.

When encountering C-Class Mutated Beasts, it used its Atomic Breath to pierce through multiple targets, achieving an instant kill.

The entire process was smooth and efficient, without any hesitation.

Luo Yu stood on the ruins, watching the scene unmoved.

He could feel that,

Godzilla was enjoying the battle.

To it, after eating so much, this was the perfect exercise to help digestion.

Ten minutes later.

The one-sided battle came to an end.

The ground was piled high with the corpses of Mutated Beasts.

Godzilla stood amidst the mountain of corpses, its Dorsal Fins flashing with a piercing blue light as it frantically absorbed the radiation energy from the bodies.

【Ding! Pet has devoured a large number of Mutated Beasts, evolution progress +3%】

【Current evolution progress: 28.9%】

Listening to the System prompts, Luo Yu said loudly, “You can absorb as much as you want now.”

“Roar!!”

Godzilla let out an excited hiss, and as if it had been starving for three days and nights, it began to frantically devour the surrounding nuclear waste.

One barrel after another.

Ten barrels, twenty barrels, fifty barrels...

The nuclear waste in the Core Area disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Luo Yu stood to the side,

Feeling the energy being fed back from his pet.

As this warm energy flowed into his body, it nourished every one of his cells.

【Host has obtained 10% energy conversion】

【Spiritual Power +100...+200...+300...】

In that moment,

Luo Yu could feel,

His own strength was steadily improving.

After ten minutes of feedback,

【Congratulations Host, Rank increased!】

【D-Class → C-Class!】

Luo Yu clenched his fist.

He could feel an unprecedented power surging through his body.

His muscles became firmer, his bones became tougher, and his senses became sharper.

This was the power of a C-Class Awakened.

On the other side,

Inside the Command Vehicle.

General Zhan Kuang stared at the monitoring screen, his expression complex.

Although the image was blurry, he could faintly see that the radiation levels in the Core Area were dropping rapidly.

“The radiation value has dropped from ten thousand to eight thousand,” a technician reported, “and it’s still falling.”

“Continue monitoring,” General Zhan Kuang said in a deep voice.

“Yes.”

Seeing this scene,

Su Qingxue, who had already withdrawn, suddenly spoke up.

“General, I have a question.”

“Speak.”

“Second Lieutenant Luo Yu's pet... what kind of creature is it exactly?” Su Qingxue’s tone was somewhat apprehensive. “I’ve never seen a creature like that; it doesn't seem like a species from Earth.”

“...”

General Zhan Kuang was silent for a few seconds before nodding. “You’re right. I also believe it’s not an Earth species.”

“Then it’s...”

“An Abyssal Creature.”

General Zhan Kuang’s voice was very low as he speculated, “Or rather, an existence even more Advanced than an Abyssal Creature.”

“What?”

Su Qingxue’s pupils contracted.

An Abyssal Creature?

The monsters that crawled out of the wormholes?

“But...” Su Qingxue’s voice trembled as she said incredulously, “Aren’t Abyssal Creatures the enemies of humanity? Why can Second Lieutenant Luo Yu control it?”

“That is the uniqueness of his talent,” General Zhan Kuang sighed with emotion. “Lieutenant Colonel Su, what I am about to tell you is a national SSS-level top secret. You must keep it strictly confidential.”

“Yes!”

Su Qingxue immediately stood at attention.

“On the surface, Second Lieutenant Luo Yu's talent is Mutated Lizard Control,” General Zhan Kuang said slowly, “but in reality, what he controls is no ordinary Lizard, but a Titan Beast with infinite evolutionary potential.”

“A Titan Beast?”

“Yes.” General Zhan Kuang said excitedly, “You’ve heard the name of this giant beast; Luo Yu calls it Godzilla. It can continuously evolve by devouring radiation, and theoretically, there is no upper limit.”

Boom!!

Before his voice had even faded,

Su Qingxue’s mind went blank.

Infinite evolution?

No upper limit?

A creature like this...

“Now you understand why the military values Second Lieutenant Luo Yu so much, right?” General Zhan Kuang’s gaze became sharp. “He is no ordinary second lieutenant; he is the future of the Dragon Country. As long as he is given enough time and resources, he can grow into a true State Pillar.”

“By then, the Dragon Country will possess a true trump card.”

“What?” Su Qingxue was stunned and dazed, but she still took a deep breath. “Please rest assured, General. I will keep it strictly confidential.”

“Very good.” General Zhan Kuang nodded with satisfaction and said, “I’m telling you this only because you will be protecting Luo Yu closely. When necessary, even if it means sacrificing yourself, you must protect him from any harm. Do you understand?”

“Yes!”

...

Core Area.

Godzilla finally finished eating all the nuclear waste. It let out a satisfied burp, and its body began to shrink.

Fourteen meters... ten meters... five meters... three meters...

Finally,

It turned back into a thirty-centimeter Little Lizard and wabbled over to Luo Yu's feet.

“Full?”

Luo Yu crouched down and stroked its head.

The Little Lizard let out a satisfied hiss.

【Ding! Pet has finished feeding】

【evolution progress: 38.9%】

“Not bad.”

“Let’s go, time to head out.”

Luo Yu placed the Little Lizard on his shoulder and turned to walk back the way he came.

Regardless,

The Core Area had been cleared out.

Only some grayish-white powder remained on the ground—the residue left after the nuclear waste was devoured.

The radiation value had also dropped from ten thousand to five hundred. While it still seemed higher than normal, it was no longer a fatal threat.

Soon,

Luo Yu arrived at the exit of the Radiation Zone.

The iron gate opened.

Piercing sunlight shone in.

Luo Yu squinted his eyes and stepped out of the Radiation Zone. General Zhan Kuang and Su Qingxue were already waiting outside the door.

Seeing Luo Yu come out, General Zhan Kuang took a step forward.

“Mission accomplished?”

“Accomplished,” Luo Yu said loudly. “The nuclear waste in the Core Area has been cleared, and the radiation value has dropped to five hundred.”

“Good!”

General Zhan Kuang’s eyes lit up, and he patted Luo Yu’s shoulder hard. “Beautifully done!”

“This is just the beginning. I hope the next seven Forbidden Zones are a bit more filling.”

“You kid.” General Zhan Kuang took a deep breath, his gaze becoming solemn. “You have thoroughly proven your ability. From now on, the state will support you with everything it has.”

“Thank you.”

“No need for thanks.”

General Zhan Kuang said in a serious tone, “It is we who should thank you.”

After saying that,

He turned to the others and said, “Withdraw, back to the base.”

“Yes!”

Everyone boarded the vehicles.

The helicopter's rotors began to spin.

Luo Yu sat by the window, looking down at the Radiation Zone below.

That place used to be a dead zone.

But now,

It had begun to regain its vitality.

“In a few days, there will no longer be any radiation Forbidden Zones on the lands of the Dragon Country.”

Luo Yu muttered to himself.

Affected by this,

The Little Lizard on his shoulder also let out a hissing sound.
