164: Chapter 162 The Feast Begins, The Titans' Recipe
Consequently, the one-minute global declaration video from Luo Yu caused a storm on the internet that far exceeded any war in the past thirty years of the Abyss Era.
Social media servers short-circuited three times.
On domestic platforms in the Dragon Country, screens were filled with uniform messages of "Godzilla, eat well and drink well." Silly netizens even spent the night creating a vast number of addictive memes: a 1,300-meter-tall Godzilla wearing a red napkin, holding a knife and fork, with a plate filled with various countries' nuclear warheads, fuel rods, and all sorts of nuclear materials.
"Simply put, this is called disarmament on a physical level."
A military-focused influencer laughed so hard during a livestream that he kept slapping his desk. "Handing it over is giving it up, and if you don't, he'll come and take it himself. Rather than being beaten passively, it's better to honestly clear out the inventory and at least earn a reputation for putting the big picture first."
Public opinion on foreign websites was much more complex.
Protesters took to the streets, holding up signs to condemn this act of plunder.
Keyboard warriors typed furiously on forums, writing long-winded analyses on how this move would shatter the defensive balance of human civilization.
Interestingly, the high-level officials of various countries did not descend into chaos like the general public.
The reality was right in front of them: facing the king of monsters, which could slaughter giant beasts above Tier 9 in the Abyss, what could be used to stop it? Conventional weapons couldn't even scratch its scales, and throwing nuclear bombs was equivalent to feeding it voluntarily.
After less than forty-eight hours of a standoff, the Northern Border Federation was the first to break the deadlock.
The president of the Northern Border Federation appeared on national television with a flushed face, an empty vodka bottle sitting on the table beside him.
"The people of the Northern Border never fear challenges."
He cleared his throat and spoke bluntly to the camera, "To ensure the safety of all mankind, the Northern Border Federation will fully open all nuclear arsenals and military nuclear facilities east of the Ural Mountains, as well as nuclear material stockpiles. Ura! May the king of the titans bless the Earth."
The defensive line was completely torn open.
Following closely behind was the Western European Alliance.
The presidium issued documents overnight to register and catalog the fuel reserves of 140 Nuclear Power Plants scattered across the European continent, 1,300 strategic nuclear warheads, and a vast amount of nuclear materials, packing them all up and waiting for collection.
The remaining government institutions of Japan even dismantled the reactors from several sunken nuclear submarines they had just salvaged, loading them onto cargo ships to await collection.
The first stop of this feast was set within the territory of the Dragon Country—the Northwest Gobi Desert.
Yellow sand filled the sky.
In the center of the undulating sand dunes, a vast underground strategic reserve base opened its heavy alloy doors.
Thousands of heavy transport trucks formed a long line, their carriages filled with the assets the Dragon Country had accumulated over the past half-century. Decommissioned and active ones, high-purity uranium ingots, plutonium blocks, and even batches of fuel rods were piled into dozens of small, cold-glinting metal mountains.
General Zhan Kuang stood beside an off-road vehicle, squinting against the wind and sand. He held an unlit cigarette in his mouth, looking into the distance.
Luo Yu walked over with long strides.
"Everything's been brought out."
General Zhan Kuang pointed at the small mountains, his tone carrying an indescribable nuance. "Our entire foundation is here. To be honest, watching these things being used to feed a pet is a bit painful."
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."
Luo Yu patted General Zhan Kuang on the shoulder. "Keeping these hunks of metal to collect dust is not as good as trading them for a living ancestor that can fight."
As he spoke, Luo Yu turned and waved into the wind.
Godzilla, standing behind him, let out a low roar, its body expanding rapidly in the wind.
One hundred meters, five hundred meters, until the true form of the king of the titans, standing 1,300 meters tall, towered between heaven and earth. Its thick legs crushed two giant pits into the ground, and its tail swept casually, kicking up sand and dust that filled the sky.
Beside it, Mothra spread its wings and took flight, its 800-meter wingspan refracting brilliant halos in the sunlight.
"Dinner time."
Luo Yu gave the simple command.
Godzilla's eyes gleamed as it strode toward the dozens of nuclear resource piles.
It didn't use any elegant way of eating; instead, it opened its gaping maw and inhaled deeply.
Visible blue radiation light seeped out from the nuclear warheads and uranium ingots, turning into a tangible torrent of energy that flowed endlessly into Godzilla's mouth. Especially those high-strength metal casings, which melted into molten iron under the terrifying high temperature, flowing down the sand dunes.
When encountering a few massive strategic nuclear bombs, Mothra would fly over very considerately, using its pair of sharp, sickle-like legs to precisely split them open, picking out the most core high-concentration radiation sources and tossing them into Godzilla's mouth.
The scene was surprisingly like someone peeling shrimp.
The data panel flickered wildly in Luo Yu's field of vision.
【Absorbed ultra-high concentration nuclear fusion material. evolution progress +0.2%】
【Absorbed weapon-grade enriched uranium. evolution progress +0.5%】
【Absorbed large-scale Nuclear Power Plant waste pool. evolution progress +1.1%】
...
The effect of the energy feedback was immediate.
Luo Yu could feel the miniature nuclear reactor inside his body running frantically, with a continuous stream of pure power coursing through his limbs and bones.
The base spiritual power value of 66.6 billion began to loosen, the number pushing straight toward the 70 billion mark and continuing to climb upward.
In just a few hours, the resources in the Northwest Gobi Desert were swept clean.
Godzilla let out an incredibly loud burp, spitting out a ball of blue sparks with a strong sulfur smell. Its dorsal fins, in particular, became increasingly deep in color, revealing a dark, burning red texture.
Luo Yu leapt onto the top of Godzilla's head.
Over the next few days, one man and two beasts transformed into tireless cleaners.
From the icy plains of the Northern Border Federation to the coastlines of the Western European Alliance.
Wherever they went, nuclear arsenals were sucked dry, fuel rods from Nuclear Power Plants turned into piles of waste, and nuclear materials became garbage.
Godzilla's appetite seemed to have no limit. Under this global feeding session, its evolution progress steadily broke through the 40% threshold.
Luo Yu's realm also underwent a transformation.
His spiritual power value broke through the 90 billion mark in one go, approaching that legendary Tier 10 realm that belonged only to the lord of the abyss.
On radar screens across the world, the massive energy source representing the king of the titans became increasingly blinding, so bright that it was impossible to look at directly.
However, in this globally coordinated collection operation, one place still maintained an unsettling silence.
Eagle Country.
