6: Chapter 6 Evolution! Awakening Godzilla!

Six hours later.

Luo Yu leaned against Godzilla's warm body and fell into a daze, eventually drifting off to sleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed,

but a sudden, violent vibration jolted him awake.

"What happened?"

Luo Yu opened his eyes and found that the Little Lizard beside him had already stood up, staring intently at the cooling pool in the center of the reactor.

It was a circular pool twenty meters in diameter, filled with coolant used to lower the temperature of the reactor core. After the nuclear leak fifteen years ago, the water in the cooling pool had been contaminated by high-concentration radiation, turning into a dark green liquid.

"You want to eat that?"

Luo Yu looked at the cooling pool and frowned.

The radiation concentration in the cooling pool was even higher than that of nuclear waste because it was directly connected to the reactor core.

"Hiss, hiss!"

The Little Lizard let out an excited hiss and moved its four thick legs, walking toward the cooling pool.

"Hey! Wait!"

Luo Yu tried to stop it,

but unfortunately,

the Little Lizard had already jumped into the cooling pool.

Boom!

The dark green liquid exploded outward, splashing water over ten meters high.

In an instant,

alarms blared throughout the command center.

"Report! Abnormal fluctuations detected in the reactor cooling pool!"

"Radiation levels are skyrocketing! 50,000... 60,000... 70,000..."

"Damn it! That monster jumped into the cooling pool!"

General Zhan Kuang stood up abruptly, staring at the surveillance screen in shock.

On the screen, Godzilla was submerged in the dark green liquid, its body beginning to glow. Faint blue light seeped through the gaps in its scales, growing brighter and brighter.

[Ding! The pet is devouring the radiation energy leaking from the reactor core!]

[Evolution progress +5%... +10%... +15%...]

[Warning! Energy overload! The pet is undergoing deep evolution!]

Along with the notification sounds,

Luo Yu felt a surge of scorching energy flowing from his pet.

Invisibly, it caused his body to heat up, and faint steam began to rise from the surface of his skin.

"Holy crap... this guy..."

Luo Yu could only grit his teeth and sit cross-legged, beginning to circulate the spiritual power within his body in an attempt to digest this skyrocketing energy.

[Evolution progress +20%... +25%... +30%...]

Inside the cooling pool,

Godzilla's body began to swell.

Three meters... four meters... five meters... six meters!

Its dorsal fins began to change. The originally small bone spurs fused together, turning into rows of sharp, blade-like structures. The bone spurs at the end of its tail grew longer, eventually forming three massive spikes that shimmered with a metallic luster.

The most startling part was its head.

Its once-rounded head began to look ferocious; its forehead bulged, its eye sockets sank, and rows of razor-sharp fangs grew in its mouth.

[Evolution progress +35%... +40%... +45%...]

Inside the command center,

everyone held their breath.

"Its size is still increasing!"

"Six meters... seven meters... eight meters..."

"Radiation levels are starting to drop. It's frantically absorbing the radiation in the cooling pool."

Perhaps out of nervousness,

General Zhan Kuang's fists clenched until they cracked.

Because if this monster could truly absorb even the radiation from the reactor core... its value would be simply immeasurable.

...

Eight hours later.

The sky was beginning to brighten.

The dark green liquid in the cooling pool had turned into clear water.

All the radiation energy had been absorbed by Godzilla.

[Evolution progress: 100%!]

[Congratulations to the Host! The pet's evolution is complete!]

[Godzilla (Juvenile Form) → Godzilla (Awakening Stage · Atomic Dragon Form)] (Note: Next stage: growth stage!!)

[Current Size: 14 meters]

[Unlocked Abilities:]

[1. Internal Nuclear Reactor (Passive): A miniature nuclear reactor forms within the pet's body, providing infinite power and maintaining life without the need for food.]

[2. Atomic Breath (Active): Fires a high-temperature plasma ray, with temperatures reaching up to 10,000°C.]

[3. Radiation Pulse (Active): Releases a powerful electromagnetic pulse to paralyze surrounding electronic equipment.]

[4. Regeneration Factor (Passive): Allows for rapid recovery after injury, with the recovery speed proportional to the energy reserves in the body.]

"Whew!!"

Luo Yu also opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Affected by the Little Lizard—

No,

now that the Internal Nuclear Reactor had awakened, it should be called Godzilla—

in other words,

through the feedback from Godzilla's evolution, his talent and Awakener level had increased again.

[Host Level: E-rank → D-rank]

[Spiritual Power: 5,000/5,000]

"Awesome!!"

Seeing his level increase, Luo Yu showed an excited expression; he had unknowingly become a D-rank ability user.

At the same time,

in the center of the cooling pool,

a massive monster slowly stood up.

It was fourteen meters tall, over twenty-five meters long, and covered in black scales. The blade-like dorsal fins on its back shimmered with a faint blue light.

As it walked, its thick limbs stepped onto the water's surface, creating ripples. Its long tail swayed behind it, and the three spikes at the end sliced through the air with a piercing whistle.

The most eye-catching feature was its eyes.

They were a pair of vertical pupils burning with blue flames, revealing endless destruction and tyranny.

Seemingly very excited, Godzilla let out a long roar toward the sky.

"Roar—!!!"

The terrifying sound waves spread out, causing the entire reactor core area to tremble.

Inside the command center,

all the glass shattered instantly.

"Holy shit!"

"Get down, quick!"

"Don't be so excited!"

Everyone was startled, crouching down and covering their heads as their eardrums buzzed from the vibration.

General Zhan Kuang, however, gripped the table tightly, staring at the surveillance screen. In the image, the 14-meter-tall monster emitted a faint blue light, its dorsal fins brightening and dimming as if it were breathing.

"What... what kind of monster is this? It feels even more terrifying than those Abyssal Giant Beasts that invaded Earth!"

a technician said with a trembling voice.

"Phew!! This is no monster."

General Zhan Kuang took a deep breath, his eyes burning with intensity as he said crazily, "This is a strategic deterrent weapon."

Saying this,

as if thinking of something, General Zhan Kuang turned to his adjutant and said, "Immediately blockade all information. This matter is classified as a national SSS-rank top secret. No one is allowed to leak it."

"Yes!"

"Also, notify the Logistics Department to prepare the highest standard of treatment. From today on, Second Lieutenant Luo Yu will enjoy the treatment of a Major."

"Yes!"

General Zhan Kuang looked at the surveillance screen again, crossed his arms, and couldn't help but laugh.

"SSS-rank potential... no, this has already surpassed SSS-rank."

"This is... a God-rank that transcends SSS-rank."
