210: Chapter 209 Not even bones were left.

Godzilla's feeding method became more relaxed starting from the third head.

It stopped using its claws to break them.

It went straight for them with its mouth.

The 1,900-meter head leaned over, its upper and lower jaws parted, and it precisely bit the junction between the third skull and the neck bone.

Its teeth locked into the bone joint.

Then it closed its jaws.

Snap.

The third one.

The Old Ones' remains struggled violently.

The remaining four neck bones whipped the lake surface like mad, and gray-white death energy gushed out from the fracture points, creating large necrotic areas in the purple-gold lake water.

The spine was shaking.

The entire skeleton tried to pull itself out of the lake bottom and escape toward the shore.

Escape.

A mindless remnant, driven even by instinct to flee.

Unfortunately.

Godzilla's left front claw pinned its main spine.

With 1,900 meters of mass pressing down, the spine's limit was exceeded by more than an order of magnitude.

A series of cracks burst onto the bone surface, but it didn't shatter—the Old Ones' bone density was indeed high enough; it was worthy of something that had once ruled the abyss.

It didn't shatter, but that was fine.

As long as it couldn't run.

The fourth head.

Godzilla adopted a new strategy.

It bit the base of the neck bone and shook its head.

Yes, shook its head.

The kind of head-shaking a fierce dog does when tearing at prey.

The sight of a 1,900-meter-tall Planet-level behemoth performing this action was truly surreal.

Every time it shook, a wall of water hundreds of meters high exploded from the lake, and purple-gold liquid energy was flung everywhere.

It shook three times.

The neck bone tore from the root.

The fourth head was flung away, traced an arc in the air, and smashed about two hundred meters away from Abaddon.

Abaddon stiffened, looked down at the skull still emitting green fire, and moved back two steps.

Belial simply closed his eyes.

He wouldn't watch.

His heart couldn't take it.

Luo Yu, on the other hand, watched with relish, sitting cross-legged in the corner slot, chin resting on his hand, as if watching a show.

Su Zhiruo stood beside him, raising her communicator to her mouth and putting it down several times.

She had originally wanted to report the frontline situation, but every time she was about to speak, she was interrupted by the sound of Godzilla dismantling bones, so she eventually gave up.

The fifth.

The sixth.

The methods became increasingly casual.

The fifth was snapped off directly with its tail: the tail swept across, hit the neck bone, and the neck bone broke; it was that simple.

The sixth was even more outrageous.

Godzilla didn't use its mouth or claws at all, but its dorsal fins.

It turned slightly, and the crimson fin plates on its back sliced across the last struggling neck bone like a saw blade.

The temperature of the fin plates exceeded 50,000 degrees.

One slice and it was in two.

The skull fell into the lake, the ghost fire extinguished, it bubbled, and sank to the bottom.

Seven heads, not a single one left.

The remaining main spine was still struggling, but the headless remains had lost their ability to attack, leaving only mechanically writhing driven by instinct.

Godzilla released its front claw from the spine, lowering its head to examine the skeleton it had dismantled into pieces.

"Hiss?"

This "hiss" carried an interrogative tone.

Luo Yu understood—Godzilla was asking: Should I eat this skeleton?

"Eat it."

Luo Yu didn't even think about it.

"The Old Ones' bones have accumulated tens of thousands of years of abyss energy; don't waste it."

No second sentence was needed.

Godzilla opened its mouth and began to bite from the tail end of the spine.

Crunch, crunch, crunch.

Vertebrae were crushed by its teeth one by one.

Bone marrow... well, the remains had no bone marrow, but after the layer of crystallized abyss energy that had solidified for tens of thousands of years inside the bones was bitten open, the concentration of released energy made Luo Yu's system panel jump.

【evolution progress: 65.2%... 66.1%... 67.3%...】

It rose faster than drinking lake water.

The Old Ones' bones were equivalent to pickles soaked at the bottom of the abyss source lake for 47,000 years; the energy had all seeped into the bone structure, and the concentration far exceeded the liquid source.

Godzilla chewed with increasing enthusiasm.

The crunching sounds turned into a steady rhythm, accompanied by the gulping sounds of swallowing and the flickering of the light patterns on its dorsal fins, forming an eerie symphony.

Luo Yu's spiritual power value was also climbing synchronously.

1.13 trillion... 1.15 trillion... 1.18 trillion...

Each pulsation of the nuclear reactor in his body was a little stronger than the last, his spiritual power meridians were being washed by purer energy, and the channels were widening.

The spine was finished.

Godzilla raised its head, scanned left and right, picked up the scattered neck bone segments and skull fragments on the lake surface, and ate them piece by piece.

Its eating manners were not very good.

Its mouth was full of gray-white bone powder and lingering eerie green ghost fire, and bodily fluids—or rather, energy residue—dripped down from between its teeth.

Su Zhiruo turned her head away.

"Is he always like this when he eats?"

"First day you've known him?" Luo Yu asked back.

Su Zhiruo didn't answer.

She actually knew the answer to this question in her heart.

The last bone fragment was swallowed into its throat.

The system panel froze.

【evolution progress: 71.4%】

From 59.4% to 71.4%.

Half the lake water was drunk, the skeleton was chewed up, and the evolution progress increased by twelve percentage points.

"Not bad."

Luo Yu looked at the numbers and nodded with satisfaction.

Godzilla smacked its lips.

Its expression this time was different from when it ate high-dimensional larvae.

Eating larvae was "enjoyment," eating bones was "satisfaction"; the difference was that the larvae were gourmet cuisine, while the bones were a large-portion buffet, not delicate but filling.

Pandora slinked back from the lake, circled Godzilla's ankle, its single eye aiming at the areas where the bone powder was scattered on the lake surface, eager to move.

"Go ahead."

Luo Yu flicked it.

Pandora darted over quickly and began to lick up the bone powder residue floating on the lake surface.

The whole family cleaned everything up.

They didn't even leave scraps for the three kings of the abyss.

The bones were eaten, the skulls were chewed clean.

Thus, under these circumstances, the skeleton that the Old Ones had accumulated over 47,000 years had gone through a round in Godzilla's mouth and vanished into thin air.

Abaddon stood by the lake, looking at the water area where their mortal enemy had once slept.

The water surface returned to calm, the purple-gold radiance still flowing, but the area was nearly half smaller than before; the Old Ones' remains had cleared up a large amount of space at the bottom of the lake, and the natural seal formation that had once suppressed the skeleton had also disintegrated.

In other words... there was no longer anything suppressing the lake bottom.
