181: Chapter 179 New Gods on the Moon, and Aftershocks on Earth

That's right,

it had simply vanished.

Luo Yu stood frozen on the spot, his thoughts stagnating for a split second.

He wasn't shocked by the power of that attack, but rather by the red dot on the system map that had disappeared in an instant.

That asteroid belt

was millions of kilometers away from the moon.

That red dot representing a "life signal,"

though faint,

was labeled by the system as being comparable in size to a small city.

Based on the energy fluctuation analysis, it was at least a peak Ninth-Order Starry Sky Behemoth wandering through the universe.

It might have just been passing by, or perhaps it had been startled from its slumber by the energy tide of Godzilla's evolution and was curiously peeking over.

And then...

it was gone.

Erased by a casual attack,

one that couldn't even be considered an "appetizer," completely wiped out from both the physical and causal levels.

Not even a decent energy firework had bloomed.

Luo Yu slowly raised his hand and gave Godzilla a thumbs-up.

Words

felt incredibly pale at this moment.

"Roar..."

Godzilla gave a low response. In those eyes burning with the flames of a star, the emotion revealed was no longer simple excitement, but a kind of... natural calmness.

As if what it had just done

was merely swatting a mosquito that happened to fly in front of its eyes.

This

was the Planet-level.

No longer confined to battles on a planet's surface,

but incorporating the entire star system into its "domain."

"Alright, stop showing off."

Luo Yu snapped back to his senses and patted its "ankle" with a wry smile. The sensation was like patting the surface of a burning star, yet the scorching energy automatically bypassed his palm.

"The buffet isn't over yet, don't let it go to waste."

Hearing this, Godzilla also seemed to feel that the energy consumed by that attack just now was a bit of a "pity." It lowered its head again and looked at the land beneath its feet, which it had nibbled into a riddled mess.

This time, its movements changed.

It was no longer the wide-open swallowing and suction from before.

It slowly raised a giant claw burning with Crimson Lotus Flames and gently pressed it onto the surface of the moon.

Buzz!

Centered on its palm, visible crimson energy circuits, like plant roots or the veins of the earth, instantly spread across the entire moon!

These energy circuits

ignored all terrain and rock layers, plunging directly into the deepest part of the moon—the Lunar Core.

Godzilla

was no longer satisfied with nibbling on the surface "soil"; it wanted to directly extract the most fundamental energy core of this planet!

In an instant,

the entire moon seemed to turn into a giant battery connected to a tube. Massive amounts of pure Helium-3 energy and deeper core energy transformed into brilliant streams of light, flowing continuously into Godzilla's body along those energy circuits.

On Luo Yu's system panel, the number for evolution progress began to climb upward again in an even more stable and efficient manner.

1%...

2%...

As for Luo Yu himself,

he floated slowly in mid-air, "supported" by Mothra and Pandora.

He looked down at himself.

The special "Kunlun" series spacesuit he was wearing had long since turned to ash during the previous energy overload.

He was just like that, naked and exposed to the cold, lethal radiation of the cosmic vacuum.

No breathing.

No heartbeat.

Yet he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

The freezing vacuum, intense cosmic rays, massive temperature differences... these environmental factors, which would be instantly fatal for an ordinary human, were now fed back into his senses as strings of clear, understandable data streams.

He could even " smell" the scent of the solar wind and " listen" the "sound" of distant stars collapsing.

Under the wash of eight hundred billion spiritual power value, his body had long since broken free from mortal shackles, evolving into a brand-new "energy lifeform" capable of surviving freely in the universe.

"So, this is what it feels like to be a god?"

Luo Yu murmured to himself.

He tried to "breathe" in the vacuum.

As a result, what he inhaled was the purest cosmic ether energy, which invigorated his spirit.

He even felt that if he returned to Earth now and did nothing, just standing there, the escaping energy fluctuations would be enough to disable all electronic devices in a city.

...

Meanwhile,

Earth.

Everyone saw it.

Whether it was white-collar workers in bustling cities, farmers toiling in remote villages, or sailors far out on the deep oceans.

Everyone who looked up at the night sky saw that incredible scene.

The bright moon in the sky seemed to have been injected with life.

Countless crisscrossing, web-like crimson patterns lit up on its surface, flowing slowly between the dark and light sides of the moon, outlining a spectacular and eerie image.

The entire moon

seemed to have turned into a giant dragon egg emitting an ominous red light.

"My God... what is that?"

"The moon... the moon is alive!"

"It's a miracle! It must be a miracle!"

"..."

After a brief silence of just a few seconds, global social networks were instantly overwhelmed by a tsunami of discussion.

Observatories around the world were in an even greater state of chaos.

"Report! The moon's mass is steadily decreasing at a rate of 0.01 percent per second!"

"Its internal energy reaction has already exceeded the detection limit of our instruments!"

"My God, its surface temperature is approaching the temperature of the sun's core!"

"..."

Countless astronomers,

looking at the inconceivable data before them, felt that the knowledge they had acquired throughout their lives was no longer sufficient.

And just as global panic and speculation were about to reach their peak,

the Dragon Country Aerospace Center used its highest authority to push a video to all public media worldwide.

The video footage

came from the panoramic observation lens of "kunlun three."

In the footage,

a terrifying behemoth nearly two thousand meters tall, its entire body burning with Crimson Lotus Flames, had one hand pressed against the surface of the moon, drawing energy from the entire planet like a deity.

Its figure obscured the stars.

Its pressure seemed ready to crush everyone's soul right through the screen.

At the end of the video, there was no music or narration, only a title typed in the most striking, blood-red font, slowly emerging in the center of the screen.

【A new deity has been born; the false kings of old shall return to dust.】

【three kings of the abyss, your time of death has arrived.】
