56: Chapter 55 The Four Generals' Shock! An Eighteen-Year-Old SS-Rank! The First in Global History

East Sea Defense Line, Apron.

Luo Yu had just stepped out of the transport bay of the Reconnaissance Mecha when he saw General Zhan Kuang and several other generals already waiting there.

That's right,

after Godzilla swam back to the first line of the East Sea Defense Line,

Luo Yu carried the shrunken Godzilla into the transport bay of the Reconnaissance Mecha that had been waiting for them.

"Greetings, Generals."

Luo Yu saluted.

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu."

General Zhan Kuang returned the salute, his eyes looking at the Little Lizard on his shoulder with uncertainty: "You... are you really alright?"

"I'm really fine."

Luo Yu grinned and said, "This time, Godzilla 'ate' to his heart's content."

"..."

The four generals looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

You ate well,

but the entire world is shaking in a frenzy,

especially that phantom of the Sixth-Tier Abyss Great Beast, which nearly scared the wits out of every nation globally.

"Let's go, back to the Command Center first."

A second later, General Zhan Kuang patted Luo Yu on the shoulder and said in a heavy voice, "There's a lot I need to talk to you about."

"Alright."

Ten minutes later,

Command Center meeting room.

Luo Yu sat in the main seat, with the four generals sitting on either side.

Godzilla, who was very full, lay on the table, yawning lazily; it was quite disappointed that the Sixth-Tier Abyss Great Beast didn't come out in the end.

"Luo Yu."

Seeing that the time was right, General Zhan Kuang spoke in a deep voice: "We all saw what happened over at the wormhole just now. Did Godzilla... evolve? Was the abnormal energy fluctuation that erupted from the wormhole at the beginning caused by Godzilla's evolution?"

"Yes."

Luo Yu nodded without hesitation: "After killing a few Fourth-Tier Abyssal Behemoths, he evolved naturally. At the final critical moment, it triggered a countermeasure from the wormhole, but I didn't expect it would actually make the evolved Godzilla even stronger."

"We saw that."

Hearing this, General Lie Huo couldn't help but marvel: "A Fifth-Tier Giant Beast was like a toy in front of him."

"That's because Godzilla just happens to counter the Abyssal Giant Beasts."

Luo Yu wasn't arrogant; instead, he smiled very modestly and said, "The high temperature of the Red Lotus Domain has a suppressive effect on the Abyssal Giant Beasts."

"Even with a counter, being able to insta-kill a Fifth-Tier Giant Beast is already terrifying," General Cang Yang couldn't help but sigh. "The last time the global alliance dealt with a Fifth-Tier Giant Beast, they fought for three full days and nights, while Godzilla... took less than ten minutes."

"That's because the wormhole side delivered them so nicely."

Luo Yu couldn't help but laugh as he explained, "If they hadn't delivered themselves to our doorstep, Godzilla wouldn't have been able to evolve so quickly."

"Delivered themselves?"

General Tie Quan was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously, "Are you saying... the wormhole side did it on purpose?"

"Likely."

Luo Yu said with great certainty, "The other side of the wormhole seems to be able to sense Godzilla's existence, so they first sent four Fourth-Tier Giant Beasts to test him, which were insta-killed."

"Then they sent a Fifth-Tier Giant Beast, and it was also insta-killed."

"In the end, they wanted to send a Sixth-Tier Abyss Great Beast, but the wormhole's conditions wouldn't allow it. So... the other side of the wormhole should be very confused and in a state of incompetent rage right now."

"..."

Silence!

After hearing this, the four generals collectively fell into silence again.

The wormhole side... in incompetent rage? That was an idiom they wouldn't dare use. Now, Luo Yu had said it outright; he truly had some disdain for the mysterious existence on the other side of the wormhole.

"By the way, Generals."

Luo Yu suddenly remembered something and asked, "When those abnormalities appeared in the wormhole just now, did other countries contact you?"

"Yes."

General Zhan Kuang spoke: "Eagle Country, the Northern Border Federation, the Western European Alliance, Japan, and others all sent inquiries requesting assistance, as well as asking what exactly happened in the East Sea Wormhole and what Godzilla's current situation is."

"How did you reply?"

"I said the situation is under control and no assistance is needed. As for what happened in the East Sea, Dragon Country will announce it later."

"Beautifully done."

Luo Yu couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"However..."

General Zhan Kuang seemed to think of something and changed the subject: "Now every country in the world knows that a Fifth-Tier Giant Beast appeared in the East Sea Wormhole and that it caused an anomaly involving a Sixth-Tier Abyss Great Beast. As soon as you show your face, it will prove that you and Godzilla are fine, and they will definitely guess that Godzilla did it."

"Let them guess."

Luo Yu said indifferently, "Anyway, the existence of Godzilla and me is no longer a secret."

"But the problem is..."

General Lie Huo said with a trembling tone, "The news that Godzilla can insta-kill a Fifth-Tier Giant Beast will cause a massive shock when it gets out."

"Let it cause a shock."

Luo Yu grinned and said calmly, "The greater the shock, the more those countries will beg us to process their nuclear waste."

"When that time comes, the price won't be ten thousand dragon coins per ton; they'll have to swallow whatever price we set."

The four generals couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Is this a joke?

Godzilla can insta-kill a Fifth-Tier Giant Beast—what does that mean?

It means Dragon Country possesses the absolute power to combat Abyssal Giant Beasts!

It means other countries will rely on Dragon Country even more!

It means...

The price for nuclear waste disposal can be increased. They still want to manipulate us? Then they can go sit at the kids' table!

As for the anomaly caused by the Sixth-Tier Abyss Great Beast, there was no need to worry for now. After all... the wormhole had shrunk, so there wouldn't be any problems for the time being. Even if it appeared next time, perhaps Godzilla would be even more powerful.

"Luo Yu, that brain of yours..."

General Zhan Kuang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fine, then we'll wait for the other countries to come and beg us."

"But before that, you should take a rest."

"You and Godzilla must have expended quite a bit over at the wormhole this time, right?"

"I'm alright."

Luo Yu stroked the Little Lizard on his shoulder: "Godzilla is very energetic right now and isn't tired at all."

"And what about you?"

"I'm not tired either."

Luo Yu thought for a moment before saying something shocking: "I just broke through to the SS-Class; I'm at a time of peak energy."

"What?"

"You broke through too?"

"So fast?"

"..."

Before he had even finished speaking,

the four generals stood up simultaneously.

"Generals, please don't be so excited."

Luo Yu said with his arms crossed, "When Godzilla evolved, I also broke through along with him."

"..."

Silence!

The meeting room fell into a dead silence.

An eighteen-year-old SS-Class Awakened.

What the hell...

Is he even human?

Could he be a Godzilla in human form?

"Luo Yu, oh Luo Yu."

After a moment, General Zhan Kuang couldn't help but take a deep breath and said with a smile, "You really give us one surprise after another. An eighteen-year-old SS-Class is the first in Dragon Country's history—no, it should be said to be the first in global history."

"That is thanks to Godzilla."

Luo Yu still added an explanation: "I am only where I am today because of Godzilla's hard work."

"Regardless, this is a good thing."

General Tie Quan rarely showed a broad smile and said, "With Luo Yu at SS-Class plus Godzilla in his Mature Stage, Dragon Country's comprehensive strength has arguably risen by a whole level."

"By the way, Luo Yu."

General Cang Yang asked curiously, "What are your plans next?"

"Plans?"

Luo Yu thought for a bit before saying slowly, "Continue to let Godzilla get stronger. After all, there are clearly even stronger existences on the other side of the wormhole, and Fifth-Tier Giant Beasts are just cannon fodder. I have to let Godzilla evolve to the next stage as soon as possible to deal with greater threats."

"Well said."

General Zhan Kuang said in a boisterous tone, "Then whatever resources you need, just say the word."

"As for resources..."

Luo Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I need more Abyssal Giant Beasts. Although nuclear waste can also let Godzilla evolve, the... efficiency is too low. Abyssal Giant Beasts are the best food."

"But..."

General Lie Huo hesitated and said, "The other side of the wormhole should be on guard now and won't send any more giant beasts out for a short while."

"It doesn't matter,"

Luo Yu shrugged and said without any fear, "Once I've finished processing all the world's nuclear waste for a fee, if the Abyssal Giant Beasts in the wormhole still haven't come out, then I'll take the initiative to go in."

"What?"

The four generals were so startled that their eyes widened simultaneously.

"Are you crazy?"

General Zhan Kuang couldn't help but exclaim, "We have no idea what the situation is like inside the wormhole. Going in blindly is too dangerous."

"I know it's dangerous."

Luo Yu said helplessly, "But... Godzilla needs to evolve. Once the nuclear waste is finished, we can't just keep waiting for the other side of the wormhole to deliver EXP Packs, can we?"

"And..."

At this point, Luo Yu's tone became serious: "I have a premonition that the other side of the wormhole will have a big move soon. Instead of passive defense, it's better to take the initiative to attack when the time comes."

"..."

The four generals were rendered speechless again.

Because,

Luo Yu had a point.

Humanity has been completely ignorant of the situation on the other side of the wormhole since the Abyss Era began. If they could scout the interior of the wormhole in advance, it would be beneficial for Dragon Country and even all of humanity.

Perhaps a new era would be opened then...

But the problem was... the risk was too great.

In the end,

the four generals looked at each other and seemed to have reached a consensus.

"How about this."

General Zhan Kuang took the initiative to speak: "I will report to the higher-ups and see what the Supreme Command Headquarters says."

"If they agree, we will start preparing in advance."

"If they don't agree..."

"Then we'll wait and see. Anyway, even if nuclear waste is a bit inefficient, it can still let Godzilla evolve a little bit."

"Fine."

Since it was put that way,

Luo Yu didn't raise any objections.
