172: Chapter 170 The Snacks' Counterattack

At this moment, that "Pandora" deep within the rift seemed to have completed its preliminary understanding of the outside world.

Its massive emerald single eye locked firmly onto Godzilla, and from its gaping maw came a low, rumbling hiss like metal grinding against metal.

In that hiss, there was no fear, no wariness, only an undisguised greed and hunger... as if it had spotted top-tier ingredients.

It... had actually mistaken Godzilla for... food!

This scene made the people in the White House, who had luckily seen the footage via a backup line, feel as if their worldview was being rubbed into the ground.

A newborn "infant" was looking at a "grown, burly man" capable of dismantling aircraft carriers with its bare hands and stepping on nuclear bombs with the look of "I want to eat you"?

What the hell is this situation? Is it looking for death?

"I... I take back what I said earlier." In a livestream room on a military forum in the Dragon Kingdom, that big military influencer was currently speaking in a sleepwalking tone, "This is no longer disarmament on a physical level; this is gods fighting, and mortals are suffering..."

"Hiss! Hiss!"

Godzilla was thoroughly enraged.

Ever since it descended into this world and bulldozed everything in its path, when had it ever suffered such "humiliation"?

A little thing that crawled out from who knows what corner, not even fully grown, dared to bare its fangs in front of it?

It was simply asking for death!

"Roar!!!!"

A roar containing the supreme majesty of the king of the titans erupted from Godzilla's mouth.

This time, it was no longer a simple sonic attack; the roar was imbued with substantial, crimson Red Lotus energy, sweeping toward "Pandora" deep in the rift like a small solar storm.

In an instant, the air was ignited by this power, crackling and popping, and even space itself seemed to slightly distort.

This was Godzilla's warning, as well as its "greeting gift" as the king of the titans.

Facing this terrifying energy capable of instantly vaporizing a fleet, "Pandora" deep in the rift not only didn't dodge but instead made a move that caught everyone off guard.

Its massive emerald single eye suddenly flared with intense light!

Following that, it opened its gaping maw, which had no teeth, only circles of pale white keratin.

A visible vortex made of emerald green energy instantly formed in its mouth.

Whoosh!!

An indescribable, terrifying suction force erupted from that vortex.

The sweeping Red Lotus storm, as if dust sucked into a vacuum cleaner, changed direction and was continuously swallowed by that emerald green vortex!

Godzilla's energy, capable of destroying a city, simply disappeared into "Pandora's" mouth like a stone cast into the sea.

Throughout the entire process, not even a ripple of energy was stirred up.

"Hmm?"

Luo Yu's brow twitched.

He could clearly feel that the energy Godzilla released was not canceled out, nor was it annihilated, but rather... absorbed.

Moreover, it was a perfect absorption, one hundred percent, without any loss!

"Hiss?"

Godzilla was also stunned; its massive head tilted slightly, its golden vertical pupils filled with confusion.

It was like an adult punching an infant, only to find that their fist, along with their entire arm, had been swallowed by the other in one bite.

This was no longer a provocation; this was naked humiliation!

"Chirp!"

Mothra in the air also let out a wary cry; the scales on her wings began to fall faster, forming a denser, colorful light curtain around Godzilla.

She could feel that the monster below, after devouring Godzilla's energy, not only didn't have its aura become chaotic due to energy conflict, but instead... grew a bit stronger!

It... could actually digest Godzilla's Red Lotus power!

"Interesting."

Luo Yu was not nervous at all; on the contrary, he was amused, "This thing is a treasure."

On his system panel, the data regarding "Pandora" was refreshing rapidly.

【Target is analyzing the energy composition of the Host's beast pet...】

【Analysis progress: 1.7%...】

【Warning! Target is attempting to copy the 'Red Lotus' attribute! Copy success rate: 0.01%!】

Although the success rate was extremely low, this "copy" ability was enough to raise Luo Yu's interest in it to the maximum.

Just then, "Pandora," having devoured the Red Lotus storm, seemed to let out a "burp."

On its slender, jade-like body, countless golden veins suddenly lit up, then dimmed again.

The next second, its emerald single eye locked onto Godzilla once more.

Hum!

This time, it was not an intangible energy impact.

A deep red energy beam, almost identical to the Red Lotus energy Godzilla had just released, shot out from its single eye, aiming straight for Godzilla's head!

It had actually converted the absorbed energy into its own attack and returned it intact!

Although the energy level of this beam was less than one-tenth of Godzilla's roar just now, it contained pure Red Lotus power!

"Roar!!"

Godzilla was thoroughly enraged.

Stealing its food and daring to throw its own bowl at its head?

This was intolerable!

Facing this "knockoff" Red Lotus beam, Godzilla couldn't even be bothered to use its Atomic Breath.

Its massive tail, like a pillar supporting the heavens, sliced through the air, leaving an afterimage as it struck the deep red beam with force.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out, like a whip shattering glass.

The beam was actually whipped apart by Godzilla, turning into red specks of light that dissipated in the air.

After doing all this, Godzilla gave the opponent no chance to catch its breath.

Its massive body stomped forward with an agility completely inconsistent with its size!

Boom!

The entire Area 51, along with the surrounding hundreds of square kilometers of desert, experienced a violent tremor no less intense than a magnitude 10 earthquake!

Godzilla's figure instantly crossed hundreds of meters, appearing directly at the edge of the rift.

It lowered its head, its vertical pupils burning with golden flames, staring fixedly at "Pandora" below.

Then, Godzilla raised its massive foot, capable of crushing mountains.

It stepped down hard and mercilessly onto "Pandora" at the bottom of the valley!

This stomp had no added energy.

All it had was the purely physical mass of the king of the titans, weighing tens of millions of tons!

Seeing this, a trace of... panic finally flashed in "Pandora's" emerald single eye; it seemed to realize that the "food" in front of it was a bit... too hard.

Without any hesitation, "Pandora's" body twisted violently, like a fish, attempting to dodge from under Godzilla's foot.

Hmph!

It was extremely fast, fast enough to leave a dark green afterimage in place.

But... how could its battle instincts compare to a newborn's?

Just as it was about to dodge, Godzilla's descending massive foot paused abruptly.

Following that, an invisible force field descended with a boom!

Gravity Manipulation!

"Pandora's" lightning-fast body stiffened, as if held down tightly by an invisible giant hand, its speed instantly dropping to freezing point.

Then... Boom!!!

Godzilla's foot stepped down solidly!
