48: Chapter 47 Deep-Sea Hunt, Edge of the Wormhole

East Sea, six thousand meters deep on the ocean floor.

It was pitch black.

Only the occasional flash of bioluminescent creatures left eerie trails of light in the darkness.

Godzilla carried Luo Yu, swimming rapidly through the deep sea. The pale blue radiation emanating from its body caused the surrounding marine life to scatter in retreat.

"Godzilla, how much further?"

Luo Yu asked, standing on Godzilla's head, communicating through their mental link.

Hiss!

Godzilla flicked its tail, its vertical pupils fixed ahead.

In its perception, the energy fluctuations released by the wormhole were growing stronger.

It was like a lighthouse in the darkness, constantly summoning and guiding it.

"Good."

Luo Yu crossed his arms and said calmly, "Then let's speed up."

Roar!

Godzilla let out a low growl, its dorsal fins suddenly lighting up as it whipped its tail.

Swoosh!

In the next second, without any prelude, Godzilla's speed increased visibly to the naked eye, leaving a long trail of light in the seawater.

Of course, as the speed increased, the depth of Godzilla's dive also increased, and the water pressure grew greater as well.

Even Luo Yu felt the pressure, but fortunately, at the critical moment, a small radiation shield formed around Godzilla, enveloping Luo Yu within it.

"Godzilla, not bad, huh? You've learned to take care of people?"

Luo Yu couldn't help but laugh, patting Godzilla's head.

Hiss!

Godzilla let out a light chirp, clearly pleased with Luo Yu's praise.

Another ten minutes passed.

Luo Yu suddenly felt the temperature of the surrounding seawater rise.

Not just a little, but from near 0°C, it soared directly to over 30°C.

"This is..."

Luo Yu looked ahead through Godzilla's radiation shield.

In the darkness, a faint green light appeared.

The light seemed weak, yet in this pitch-black deep sea, it appeared exceptionally conspicuous.

"A wormhole?"

A thought stirred in Luo Yu's heart.

Godzilla didn't care about all that and just kept swimming in that direction.

The closer they got, the more obvious the green light became.

The temperature was also rising higher and higher.

Forty degrees... fifty degrees... sixty degrees...

In the end, the seawater even began to boil.

A massive amount of bubbles rose from the ocean floor, forming eerie columns in the darkness that shot straight toward the sea surface.

"Stop."

Seeing such a strange phenomenon, Luo Yu quickly spoke up.

Hiss!

Hearing the command, Godzilla stopped and hovered in the deep seawater.

At this moment, they were about ten kilometers away from the wormhole.

But... Luo Yu could already clearly see what the wormhole looked like.

It was a colossal rift, hovering above the ocean floor, with a diameter of at least eight kilometers.

Looking out, green electric arcs continuously flickered along the edges of the rift, as if space itself had been torn apart.

And inside the rift, there was only chaotic green light; it was impossible to see what was inside.

"So this is the wormhole..."

Luo Yu muttered to himself.

This was his first time observing a wormhole from such a close distance.

Everything he had seen in the files before had been blurry images taken by satellites; even the ones provided by General Zhankuang were relatively blurry.

Now seeing it with his own eyes, the shock was impossible to describe in words.

It was like... the world had been torn open, and on the other side of the tear lay completely unknown terror.

"No wonder Abyssal Giant Beasts can pour out endlessly..."

Luo Yu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.

"With a wormhole this big, I'm afraid Fifth-Tier, Sixth-Tier, and even Seventh-Tier giant beasts could pass through."

However, just then, Godzilla seemed to sense something and became excited. It turned its head, its vertical pupils fixed on the darkness to the right.

"What is it?"

Luo Yu looked in the direction of its gaze.

In the darkness, a pair of huge eyes appeared.

Those eyes glowed with a ghostly green light and were at least five meters in diameter, appearing exceptionally eerie in the darkness.

"An Abyssal Giant Beast?"

A look of curiosity appeared on Luo Yu's face.

Sure enough, as the owner of those eyes swam out from the darkness, it was indeed an Abyssal Giant Beast.

Moreover, it was a giant beast over sixty meters in size, shaped like an octopus magnified countless times. Its entire body was covered in slimy skin, and eight tentacles swayed slowly in the seawater. If one looked closely, every tentacle was covered in dense suckers, and inside the suckers grew sharp barbs.

[Abyssal Giant Beast: Deep Sea Hunter]

[Tier: Third-Tier]

[Threat Level: Average]

[Characteristics: Tentacle Entanglement, Venom Spray]

"Only Third-Tier..."

As the system prompt flashed through his mind, Luo Yu couldn't help but smile.

His body flashed, and he appeared in a depression in front of Godzilla's head, shouting, "Godzilla, dinner time."

Hiss!

Having received the instruction, Godzilla excitedly flicked its tail.

Roar!

Accompanied by a low growl, Godzilla took the initiative to charge toward that Deep Sea Hunter.

The Deep Sea Hunter clearly hadn't expected such an uninvited guest to appear in its lair, let alone dare to attack it proactively.

Therefore, after being stunned for a few seconds, the Deep Sea Hunter's eight tentacles whipped out simultaneously, coiling toward Godzilla.

Bang! Bang!

Accompanied by several vibrating sounds, Godzilla's massive body was struck hard by the tentacles, the powerful force causing Godzilla's body to tremble several times.

But that was all, because Godzilla had already opened its mouth.

Blue light gathered deep in its throat.

Boom!

The Atomic Breath shot out.

At close range, the blue beam of light cut a straight trajectory through the seawater, striking the Deep Sea Hunter's head in the blink of an eye.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The high temperature instantly evaporated the seawater, forming a huge cavity.

Affected by this, the Deep Sea Hunter let out a shrill cry, its eight tentacles struggling frantically.

But Godzilla didn't give it a chance at all.

The Atomic Breath continued to output, sweeping from the head all the way down to the body, just like cutting tofu with a laser knife.

In just three seconds, the Deep Sea Hunter's body was cut in half.

Green blood diffused into the seawater and was quickly washed away by the huge currents that were stirred up.

"Done."

Luo Yu didn't show any look of surprise.

At this stage, a Third-Tier Abyss Behemoth was simply no match for Godzilla; an instant kill was perfectly normal.

Then, Godzilla happily swam to the side of the Deep Sea Hunter's corpse, opened its mouth, and began to devour the energy within its body.

Hum!

Accompanied by a surge of green light pouring out from the corpse, it was frantically absorbed by Godzilla.

In the blink of an eye, the Deep Sea Hunter's massive corpse shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally turning into a dried husk that slowly sank to the ocean floor.

[Ding! Godzilla is absorbing the core energy of the Third-Tier Abyss Behemoth!]

[evolution progress + 5.2%]

[Current evolution progress: 92.7%]

[Host gains 10% energy conversion]

[Spirit power + 8000...+ 12000...+ 15000...]

"Not bad."

Feeling the energy fed back from Godzilla, Luo Yu nodded with great satisfaction.

Although it didn't compare to the energy provided by the first Third-Tier Abyss Behemoth he killed, being able to increase the evolution progress by 5% was already considered decent.

Anyway, at this rate, if it eats one or two more, Godzilla will definitely be able to break through to the mature stage.

By then, Godzilla's strength will have another qualitative leap.

As for the feedback of spirit power, it also made him slightly stronger, which could be considered benefiting from the situation.

"Burp."

After absorbing the energy, Godzilla let out a satisfied burp and excitedly continued to swim toward the wormhole.

Because in its perception, there were more Abyssal Giant Beasts near the wormhole.

Sure enough.

After swimming another five kilometers, Godzilla discovered another giant beast.

This time it was an eel-type giant beast over sixty-five meters in size, its entire body covered in hard scales, and its mouth filled with sharp teeth.

[Abyssal Giant Beast: Lightning Eel Beast]

[Tier: Third-Tier]

[Threat Level: Medium]

[Characteristics: Lightning Control, Scale Defense]

"Good, another Third-Tier."

Hiding in a depression in front of Godzilla's head, Luo Yu silently commanded, "Godzilla, what are you waiting for? Keep eating the feast, but be careful this time, this guy can discharge electricity."
