97: Chapter 96 Mediterranean Wormhole, Hidden Fifth-Order Behemoth

An hour later,

The sky had not yet completely darkened.

The Mediterranean Sea coast.

This used to be Europe's most prestigious seaside resort, with azure waters, golden sands, and rows of palm trees.

After the Abyss Era arrived,

Because a wormhole suddenly appeared in the offshore area, the entire city completed an emergency evacuation within three days.

Now, there is no one within a hundred kilometers, only abandoned buildings wailing in the sea breeze.

Luo Yu stood on the shore, squinting at the distant sea surface.

A green halo about five hundred meters in diameter floated there, its edges shimmering with a faint fluorescence. Now it seemed the wormhole on the other side wasn't even trying to hide anymore; through the halo, one could vaguely see the distorted scenery of the Abyss World on the other side—black rocks and an eerie green sky.

"This wormhole..."

Luo Yu frowned after looking for a few moments.

Logically, the wormhole should continuously emit abyss energy fluctuations, but... the wormhole in front of him was unnaturally quiet, with almost no energy leakage felt.

It was as if it had been sucked dry by something.

"Lieutenant General Luo Yu."

The Chairman of the Western European Alliance walked over quickly, followed by a group of technicians.

"The situation with this wormhole is indeed a bit special." The Chairman wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It suddenly started becoming active three months ago. Initially, the energy fluctuations were very strong, and Second-Tier and Third-Tier Giant Beasts crawled out every day."

"And then?"

"Later..." The Chairman hesitated and said, "About a month ago, the wormhole suddenly went quiet, the energy fluctuations plummeted, and giant beasts stopped appearing. We sent drones to explore, and it seems something on the other side of the wormhole is absorbing abyss energy."

"Interesting."

Luo Yu patted Godzilla on his shoulder.

Hiss!

Godzilla wagged his tail, his vertical pupils staring at the wormhole, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Start the live broadcast."

Luo Yu turned to look at the Chairman and said slowly, "Handle the nuclear waste first, and we'll resolve the wormhole matter along the way."

"Understood!"

A few minutes later,

Major global live broadcast platforms opened again.

To ensure the effect of the live broadcast, the military had already turned on massive searchlights in advance, illuminating this area along with the area where the Mediterranean Sea wormhole was located as if it were daylight.

At the same time,

Accompanied by [Godzilla cleaning up Mediterranean Sea nuclear waste, live broadcast!],

The number of viewers exceeded 600 million in less than ten seconds.

"It's here again!"

"Godzilla is really efficient today, going to three places in one day."

"That wormhole in the Mediterranean Sea looks so eerie..."

"The energy fluctuation is so weak, could it be broken?"

"Can a wormhole even break? Do you think it's a household appliance?"

The bullet chat was flooding the screen.

Luo Yu ignored these and patted Godzilla: "Go on, eat the nuclear waste first."

Hiss!

Godzilla jumped off his shoulder, his body expanding rapidly.

Thirty centimeters... ten meters... fifty meters... one hundred and fifty meters!

Roar!

A sky-shaking roar rang out.

Godzilla took a step and walked towards the nuclear waste storage point inland. It was an abandoned underground military base, the entrance sealed by a heavy alloy door.

Boom!

Godzilla slapped it with a claw, and the alloy door was instantly smashed into pieces.

However,

Because the underground passage was too small,

Godzilla thought for a moment and shrunk his 150-meter-tall body down to five meters before ducking into the underground passage, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

"Biological reaction detected!"

Just as Godzilla ducked in, a technician stared at the screen and shouted, "SSS-rank mutant rat, about 120 meters in size, is approaching Godzilla!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Boom!

A loud noise came from underground.

A few seconds later, a giant rat twenty meters long covered in black scales rushed out from underground. Before it could escape, it was swatted away by Godzilla's tail.

Bang!

The mutant rat crashed into the ruins, struggling to get up.

The five-meter-tall Godzilla didn't bother to look twice and opened his mouth to spit out a crimson light beam.

Boom!

The mutant rat was instantly vaporized.

[Ding! Godzilla killed an SSS-rank mutant rat]

[evolution progress +0.3%]

[Current evolution progress: 30.5%]

"0.3%."

Luo Yu's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to say anything more.

There was no way around it.

As the saying goes,

SSS-rank mutant creatures were truly not even an appetizer for the current Godzilla.

Thus,

After dealing with the SSS-rank mutant rat, Godzilla ducked back underground and began to frantically devour the nuclear waste. Blue light surged from beneath the ground, and the entire abandoned base shook.

Luo Yu stood on the ground, eyes closed, feeling the energy pouring into his body.

[Spiritual Power +95,000... +110,000... +130,000...]

Suddenly,

At this moment,

Rumble!

A violent vibration came from the sea.

"What's going on?"

The Chairman's face changed.

The technician stared at the screen, his voice trembling: "The wormhole... the wormhole is trembling, and the energy fluctuations are suddenly skyrocketing!"

Luo Yu opened his eyes and looked at the sea.

He saw that the previously quiet wormhole was now glowing intensely with green light, and the edge of the halo began to distort violently.

"Something is coming out."

Luo Yu squinted and muttered to himself, "It seems the wormhole is here to send Godzilla some warmth again."

Splash!

Before his voice faded,

The seawater exploded without any warning.

A giant octopus over two hundred meters in size, covered in deep green scales and with a massive single eye on its head, rushed out from the seabed. Eight tentacles flailed wildly, each covered in sharp barbs.

[Detected late-stage peak Fifth-Tier Abyssal Giant Beast]

[Codename: Abyssal Octopus King]

[Threat level: Low]

"This... this seems to be a Fifth-Tier Abyssal Giant Beast?"

The moment the giant octopus appeared, the Chairman couldn't help but gasp: "A monster like this was actually hidden in the Mediterranean Sea?"

"No wonder the wormhole's energy fluctuations were so weak."

Luo Yu showed a look of sudden realization: "So it was being absorbed by this fellow."

On the other side,

The Abyssal Octopus King hovered over the sea, its single eye staring fixedly inland.

To be precise,

It was staring at Godzilla, who was devouring the nuclear waste.

Roar!

It let out a piercing screech, and its eight tentacles slammed into the sea surface, kicking up waves dozens of meters high.

"It... it seems very angry?"

Not far away, a technician holding detection equipment swallowed hard and spoke carefully.

"Of course it's angry."

Luo Yu seemed to have thought of something and said meaningfully, "Godzilla is eating its food reserves."

Well!

If he wasn't mistaken,

The Abyssal Octopus King had lurked in the Mediterranean Sea for so long, frantically absorbing the wormhole's abyss energy, just to break through to the Sixth-Tier.

As a result,

Godzilla suddenly appeared,

And devoured the nuclear waste right under its nose—which was the next big meal in its plan.

How could it not get anxious?

So,

Even though it knew Godzilla was very strong, the Abyssal Octopus King was unwilling to give up.

Roar!

Accompanied by a roar,

The unwilling and angry Abyssal Octopus King no longer hesitated. Its eight tentacles exerted force, and its massive body surged out of the sea, pouncing towards the inland area.

"It's going to attack Godzilla!"

The Chairman looked bewildered.

Was this Fifth-Tier Abyssal Giant Beast crazy? Or was information not flowing between Abyssal Giant Beasts? Even Ghidorah was killed by Godzilla, yet it actually dared to initiate an attack? Even if you're looking for death, it shouldn't be like this.

"Exactly."

Luo Yu didn't bother with nonsense, clapped his hands, and said, "Godzilla has been a bit irritable lately and was just looking for a place to vent."

Boom!

The Abyssal Octopus King landed in the ruins,

Its eight tentacles waving simultaneously, smashing toward the entrance of the underground base.

The next second.

Roar!

A sky-shaking roar came from underground.

The five-meter-tall Godzilla rushed out of the ground, fire burning in his vertical pupils.

Damn it,

He was eating happily when he was suddenly interrupted. Who could stand that?

Hiss! (You're looking for death!)

Godzilla didn't say another word and charged straight at the Abyssal Octopus King, his body growing to over a hundred meters tall.

In an instant,

The two giant beasts collided.

Bang!

A terrifying shockwave spread in all directions, shattering the ruins within a radius of several kilometers.

Then,

The Abyssal Octopus King was sent flying, crashing heavily into the Mediterranean Sea, its powerful force kicking up waves.

Three seconds later, the Abyssal Octopus King ignored the waves and rushed over again, using its eight tentacles to frantically entwine Godzilla, the barbs on the tentacles digging into Godzilla's scales.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

In an instant, sparks flew everywhere.

These so-called barbs couldn't pierce Godzilla's defense at all; instead, they were bent and deformed by the force.

"Roar!"

The Abyssal Octopus King discovered in horror

That the strength of this Lizard in front of it was even stronger than imagined. No wonder Ghidorah was thrashed. Invisibly, the Abyssal Octopus King calmed down and wanted to retreat.

Unfortunately,

By this time,

Godzilla didn't care about any of that. He opened his bloody mouth and bit down on one of the tentacles.

Crack!

The tentacle was bitten off.

Green blood gushed out.

"Roar!"

The Abyssal Octopus King was in pain, and its remaining seven tentacles exerted force simultaneously, trying to shake Godzilla off.

Unfortunately.

Godzilla's strength was too great.

He grabbed two tentacles with both claws and gave a violent tug.

Rip!

Two more tentacles were torn off raw.

"This..."

Although it was expected,

After witnessing it with his own eyes, the Chairman was still somewhat dumbfounded.

A late-stage peak Fifth-Tier Abyssal Giant Beast was being dismantled like a toy in front of Godzilla.

"Godzilla is angry."

Luo Yu said leisurely, "The consequences of disturbing his meal are very serious."

The battle lasted less than a minute.

All eight tentacles of the Abyssal Octopus King were torn off, and its massive body lay paralyzed in the ruins, its single eye filled with fear.

Godzilla walked up to it and looked down at this foolhardy fellow.

Hiss! (Don't disturb my meal next time.)

After saying that,

Godzilla opened his mouth.

"Destruction Breath · Zero Distance!"

Boom!

A crimson light beam pierced through the Abyssal Octopus King's body.

Its body began to decompose, turning into countless green energy particles that were absorbed by Godzilla.

[Ding! Godzilla killed late-stage peak Fifth-Tier Abyssal Giant Beast · Abyssal Octopus King]

[evolution progress +1.1%]

[Current evolution progress: 31.6%]

[Host receives 30% energy conversion]

[Spiritual Power +180,000,000]

[Current Spiritual Power value: 980,000,000]

"Nine hundred and eighty million..."

Seeing that his spiritual power value was about to break through one billion, Luo Yu shouted:

"Godzilla, keep eating."

Hiss!

Godzilla contentedly ducked back underground.

This time, no one disturbed him.

Ten minutes later.

Godzilla walked out from underground and let out a burp.

[evolution progress: 32.2%]

"Not bad."

Luo Yu shrugged. Anyway, even a mosquito's leg is meat; as long as it's increasing, it's fine.

"Lieutenant General Luo Yu..."

The Chairman walked over, his face still filled with shock, "That wormhole..."

"I know."

Luo Yu looked at the wormhole on the sea.

After the Abyssal Octopus King was killed, the wormhole's energy fluctuations became even weaker, and the edge of the halo began to slowly shrink.

"Godzilla, go give the Abyss World a greeting gift."

Hiss!

Before the words fell,

Godzilla stepped toward the coast.

He stood by the sea, opened his mouth, and the crimson light on his dorsal fins reached its peak.

Spiral Heat Ray!

Boom!

A thick crimson light beam shot out, accurately hitting the center of the wormhole.

Rumble!

The wormhole shook violently, and the edge of the halo began to collapse.

A few seconds later.

Bang!

The wormhole closed completely, and the sea surface returned to calm.

"It's finally closed."

The Chairman breathed a huge sigh of relief.

After Ghidorah died, the wormholes in other places basically closed to prepare for the next time, but this one in the Mediterranean Sea just wouldn't close.

Now it's fine,

It was directly blasted shut by Godzilla's strike.

"There are two more storage points."

Luo Yu glanced at the time.

Without realizing it, the sky had completely darkened.

Fortunately,

With the military's lights shining,

This whole area was as bright as day.

"Lieutenant General Luo Yu, do you want to take a break?" the Chairman asked subconsciously.

"No need, strike while the iron is hot."

Luo Yu grinned and said, "Godzilla, can you still eat?"

Hiss! (Piece of cake)

Godzilla wagged his tail, looking like he hadn't had enough.

"Then let's go."
