201: Chapter 199 The Last Words? After Eating the Younger One, Father Came Again.

However, just as he was about to start eating, "Wait a moment."

"Hiss?"

Godzilla tilted its head to look at Luo Yu, its eyes filled with dissatisfaction. Its mouth was already open; you're making me wait?

"Let it say a few words."

Luo Yu stood up from the horn groove, walked to the edge of Godzilla's finger gap, and looked down at the ball of white-gold light gripped in its palm.

The High-Dimensional juvenile was tightly restrained by the five giant fingers, its four light wings folded at strange angles. Its single eye peeked out from between the fingers, the white-gold radiance in its pupil having dimmed by more than half.

But it was still alive.

The life resilience of a high-dimensional creature was indeed incomparable to that of an Abyssal Giant Beast. If any other Ninth-Rank Abyss Great Beast had been gripped by Godzilla for three seconds like this, it would have long since been "crushed" in the physical sense.

"Speak."

Luo Yu squatted beside the finger gap, resting his chin on his knees. "If you want to say something before you die, I'll give you a chance."

The High-Dimensional juvenile's single eye glared at him.

A mental fluctuation came through, intermittent, mixed with anger and pain.

"You... cannot kill me."

"Why?"

"My life signal... is bound to my progenitor... If you kill me... he will know."

Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.

"And then?"

"He will track... the residual energy traces... find this place... find your world..."

The High-Dimensional juvenile's mental fluctuation became hurried, white light flashing chaotically in its single eye. The rhythm of its speech grew faster and faster, filled with a kind of desperate, death-bed madness.

"You think destroying the beacon makes you safe? Naive! My progenitor's perception spans dimensions! As long as my life signal is interrupted, he can reverse-locate you along the rupture point!"

"If you kill me, it's equivalent to sending him a coordinate signal flare!"

"He will come! He will bring the entire hunting party! You and your pet will be skinned and gutted, and your planet will be drained of its last drop of energy!"

After saying this, the High-Dimensional juvenile went quiet.

Its single eye stared at Luo Yu's face, waiting for a reaction.

It was gambling.

Gambling that this low-dimensional creature would fear the retaliation of a high-dimensional civilization, gambling that the term "progenitor" could scare him, and gambling that the information about the "coordinate signal flare" would be enough to make the other party hesitate.

The hollow was silent for a few seconds.

Then Luo Yu laughed.

It wasn't a sneer, nor was it mockery; it was a laugh of sudden realization, an "I see" kind of laugh.

He turned to look at Su Zhiruo.

"Did you hear that?"

Su Zhiruo nodded, her expression also becoming subtle.

"So, it's not the egg itself that the three kings of the abyss are afraid of."

"Correct."

Luo Yu stood up, brushing the scale fragments off his pant legs. "They are afraid of the chain reaction after killing the egg. The High-Dimensional Hunter would track them to the Abyss World, and since the three kings of the abyss have already been intimidated by Godzilla, if another High-Dimensional Hunter comes, they would be attacked from both sides."

"So they dare not touch this egg, nor do they dare to drive it away, for fear of angering the High-Dimensional Hunter. They can only cower outside and watch, letting this thing take root and sprout in their living room."

Su Zhiruo added, "And then we arrived, and they conveniently guided us here, letting us solve this hot potato for them."

"Smart."

Luo Yu tilted his chin toward the entrance. "Those seven Ninth-Rank ones are probably pricking up their ears right now, listening for any movement."

The High-Dimensional juvenile's single eye darted between Luo Yu and Su Zhiruo. It didn't quite understand what these two carbon-based organisms were discussing, but it caught a signal that terrified it: these two people were not scared.

"Did you... not understand what I said?" The mental fluctuation exploded, smelling of hysteria. "If you kill me, you will be exposed, and the entire low-dimensional world will be exposed!"

Luo Yu looked down at it.

"Understood."

"Then you..."

"That's why I have to let Godzilla eat you clean."

Before he even finished speaking,

The High-Dimensional juvenile's single eye went blank.

"Still eating..."

"Yes, eating."

Luo Yu said nonchalantly, "You said killing you would leave energy traces, right? That's simple; just don't leave any. You don't understand Godzilla's digestive system, so let me educate you: a Planet-level nuclear reactor, with internal temperatures approaching a stellar core. Any form of energy that goes in gets broken down into the most basic particles and re-encoded."

"In layman's terms, whatever gets eaten doesn't even leave a scrap behind, let alone any life signal."

The High-Dimensional juvenile fell silent.

It recalled the knowledge base inherited within its eggshell, trying to find a basis for refutation.

It searched for three seconds.

It found none.

Because the knowledge base in the eggshell didn't have an emergency plan for "what to do after being eaten by a Planet-level creature."

Within the finger gap,

The white-gold light wings began to flap frantically.

"No... let me go, you can't, I am the offspring of a superior being! You are not worthy..."

"Godzilla."

"Hiss."

Two syllables.

One command, one response.

Godzilla tossed the High-Dimensional juvenile in its claw upward.

The eighty-meter-tall white-gold figure tumbled twice in the air, its light wings spreading desperately to stabilize its form, but it was useless.

The mouth opened.

Not the High-Dimensional juvenile's mouth.

It was Godzilla's.

The four-hundred-meter-wide giant maw opened beneath the white-gold light, the dark red soft tissue inside intertwined with the afterglow of stellar temperatures, like the entrance to a tunnel leading to the planet's core.

The High-Dimensional juvenile saw this mouth in mid-air.

Then, for the first time in history, its mental fluctuation transmitted a very simple, very primal emotion that transcended all dimensional barriers—Mommy.

Crunch.

The upper and lower jaws closed.

The eighty-meter-tall High-Dimensional juvenile, along with its four light wings, its single eye, and that stubbornness inherited from its dad in its bones, was all bitten into the mouth.

Chewed twice.

Chewed three more times.

Then swallowed.

The hollow was silent.

Su Zhiruo stood beside Luo Yu,

Both of them watched the entire process of Godzilla closing its mouth, tilting its head back, and its Adam's apple rolling up and down once.

"It didn't seem to struggle much before going down," Su Zhiruo observed.

"Eighty meters stuffed into a four-hundred-meter mouth; the space for struggling is limited."

That's what he said,

but in reality, the High-Dimensional juvenile did struggle.

A few dull vibrations came from Godzilla's mouth; that was the juvenile releasing energy inside the oral cavity, trying to blast open the restraints, with a few wisps of white-gold light leaking from between Godzilla's teeth.

Then the light went out.

The Planet-level high-temperature environment inside the oral cavity, combined with Godzilla's actively activated energy absorption ability, suppressed the High-Dimensional juvenile's resistance to zero within three seconds.

It wasn't that it couldn't fight anymore; it had been digested.

From the attack to the cessation to being broken down, the entire process took no more than six seconds.

Luo Yu stared at the system panel.

The numbers for the evolution progress were jumping.

53.7%... 54.2%... 55.1%...

The speed was more than ten times faster than eating an Abyssal Giant Beast.

The energy density of a high-dimensional creature was well-deserved.

The numbers were still rising.

55.8%... 56.9%... 57.4%...

Luo Yu's spiritual power value was also skyrocketing.

856 billion... 870 billion... 890 billion...

The growth continued for nearly a minute before it began to slow down.

It finally settled.

[evolution progress: 59.4%]

[Host spiritual power value: 912,000,000,000]

From 53.7% to 59.4%,

One egg contributed 5.7 percentage points.

Converted, it was equivalent to eating over a hundred Ninth-Rank Abyss Great Beasts.

"Not bad."

Luo Yu looked at the numbers and nodded.

Then he noticed a detail.

Godzilla's expression had changed.

Since he had known Godzilla, whether it was gnawing on nuclear waste, chewing on an Abyssal Giant Beast, or absorbing lunar energy, Godzilla basically had two expressions when eating: one was the perfunctory face of "just filling the stomach," and the other was the "it has some flavor but isn't quite enough" make-do face.

But now it was different.

Godzilla closed its eyes, its mouth slightly open, its tongue extending and retracting from between its teeth, repeating this several times.

That golden vertical pupil was half-squinted, the pupil slightly dilated.

Two puffs of hot air vented from its nostrils; not the aggressive kind, but the "wanting more" kind.

Its tail swept slowly across the ground, drawing a semicircle.

This was the first time, the first time in the true sense, that Luo Yu saw the word "enjoyment" on Godzilla's face.

"Tasty?"

"Hiss..."

This hiss was drawn out long, the trailing note curling upward, carrying a kind of satisfied laziness.

Su Zhiruo stood by, watching the 1,900-meter-tall Planet-level king of monsters display an expression of "the chef's skills are not bad," feeling that her understanding of the word "absurd" had deepened a layer.

"Coolness doesn't last more than three seconds." Luo Yu muttered.

Su Zhiruo didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

Luo Yu shook his head: "Nothing, the usual routine."

What usual routine?

She would soon find out.

Because,

Pandora on Luo Yu's wrist became excited.

This little snake sprang out from its bracelet form, its two-meter-long body tensed like a stick, its single pupil shrinking to a needle point.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming..."

Its consciousness was a chaotic mess.

Luo Yu didn't need the reminder.

Because his spiritual power perception had already captured it.

In the northwest direction of the hollow, in the high sky of the Abyss World about 1,200 kilometers away, an extremely subtle spatial rift was being torn open.

The rift was very small.

Currently only a few dozen centimeters wide,

almost invisible under the vast sky of the Abyss World, but... the energy signature seeping from the rift, Luo Yu was too familiar with it.

White-gold.

High-dimensional energy.

It was from the same system as the giant hand under the Antarctic ice sheet and the egg that had just been eaten.

"Half of what the High-Dimensional juvenile said was true." Luo Yu's tone was surprisingly calm, so calm that Su Zhiruo became nervous instead.

"Which half?"

"The half about the life signal interruption. But the term 'signal flare' isn't accurate; it's not that it can be located just because it's interrupted, but rather the way it was interrupted was detected."

Luo Yu looked down at the system panel.

After the juvenile was eaten by Godzilla, there were indeed no residual energy traces; the digestive ability of the Planet-level nuclear reactor was unquestionable.

But the problem lay elsewhere.

At the moment of devouring, some kind of cross-dimensional mental connection between the High-Dimensional juvenile and its "progenitor" was brutally severed. This severance itself didn't carry coordinate information because it didn't know where Earth was.

But... it knew the severance occurred in the Abyss World.

Because the juvenile's egg was laid here.

"So that guy didn't come by tracking a signal flare," Luo Yu sorted out the logic. "It already knew the egg's location in the Abyss World. The connection was broken, so it followed the known coordinates."

Su Zhiruo's spatial magic array turned to its highest frequency.

"The rift is expanding, from 1,200 kilometers away... no, the rift is moving!"

"It's searching for weak points along the Abyss World's spatial barrier, tearing open a small gap every few seconds to probe, and it's approaching in this direction!"

Luo Yu tilted his head slightly.

It was different from the time in Antarctica.

Last time, the High-Dimensional Hunter squeezed in through the spatial beacon built by William; there was a ready-made door.

This time there was no door; it had to tear it open itself.

Tearing it itself had low efficiency and limited strength, which meant it couldn't squeeze its entire body in.

But it was enough.

One hand was enough to do a lot of things.

Also, last time it was caught off guard.

This time it came with anger.

Anger makes creatures stupid, but it also makes them fiercer.

"Zhiruo, go up."

"What?"

"Return to the depression entrance. I'm not asking you to retreat; I want you to use spatial perception to act as my radar from above. If you stay in the hollow, the rock layers will interfere with your scanning precision."

Su Zhiruo bit her lip.

"You alone?"

"Me plus Godzilla; when it comes to one-on-one, we are basically number one on this planet. Don't worry."

Su Zhiruo looked at him for two seconds, turned, and ran up the slope of the depression. She ran twenty meters, stopped for a moment, turned her head, and threw back a sentence.

"Report that you're safe once every two hours."

"Okay."

...

After Su Zhiruo's figure disappeared into the depression entrance, the only ones left in the hollow were Luo Yu, Godzilla, Mothra, and Pandora, who was playing dead.

Luo Yu jumped down from Godzilla's head, landing on the purple crystalline ground. Planet-level spiritual power circulated around his body, and the abyss energy drifting in the air was automatically repelled by his nuclear reactor field.

"Godzilla."

Godzilla was no longer reminiscing; the expression of enjoyment was long gone. Red flames rekindled in its vertical pupils, the light patterns on its dorsal fins lit up one by one, and its body surface temperature was climbing.

Looking around,

The 1,900-meter-tall king of the titans stood in the center of the thirty-kilometer-wide underground hollow, occupying nearly a quarter of the space.

It tilted its head slightly a few degrees toward the northwest; without a doubt... that was the direction from which the rift was approaching.

Luo Yu reached out and patted its ankle.

"Last time it ran."

"Hiss."

Yes,

Godzilla held a grudge.

"Don't let it run this time."

"Hiss!"

The trailing note was three times heavier.

The meaning was clear: No problem.

Luo Yu flipped and jumped back onto Godzilla's head.

Then wait.

Didn't have to wait long.

After the spatial rift jumped six times along an irregular path across the sky of the Abyss World, the seventh location where it tore open was directly above the hollow.

In the sky outside the depression entrance,

a two-hundred-meter-long dark purple rift tore open silently.

The edges of the rift curled with fragments of high-dimensional space, and white-gold and dark purple light twisted and pulled at each other within the gap.

Behind that rift, something was moving.

Not a hand.

This time it was not a hand.

It was an eye.

A giant single eye, identical in structure to Pandora but tens of thousands of times larger, squeezed from the rift to the edge.

The pupil color was a cold silver-white, and a complex-to-the-extreme array of runes flowed in the iris, as if every rune was a spatial equation; it was clearly using its own eyeball to calculate the surrounding spatial parameters in real-time.

The single eye filled the entire rift.

The pupil, over two hundred meters in diameter, scanned the underground hollow from within the rift.

It scanned the purple crystalline rock walls.

It scanned the skeletons of the Abyssal Giant Beasts embedded in the rock walls.

It scanned the location where the eggshell had existed.

Everything was gone.

The egg was gone. The juvenile was gone. There wasn't even any energy residue.

The pupil of the single eye contracted violently.

A mental fluctuation exploded out.

"You!"

Unlike the anger last time in Antarctica, this time there was something else in the mental fluctuation: recognition.

From the residual energy permeating the hollow, it smelled an aura.

Crimson.

Scorching.

Carrying the radiation decay products unique to a Planet-level nuclear reactor.

Very familiar.

The aura that blew its hand off last time.

"It's you again!!!"

The silver-white iris in the single eye was twisted and deformed by some kind of emotion, and the rune array skipped several beats.

Luo Yu stood on Godzilla's head, craning his neck to look at that giant eyeball in the rift.

"Yo, old acquaintance."

The pupil of the single eye aimed at him.

To be precise,

it aimed at Godzilla beneath his feet.

The mental fluctuation surged out, every information unit wrapped in thick hatred.

"My offspring... you ate my offspring!!!"

"Yeah." Luo Yu was very calm, "It was actually quite tasty."

"Hiss." Godzilla seconded.

The pupil of the single eye dilated completely.

The rift began to vibrate violently.

It was expanding the rift.
