When the Sophia Kirieloid People were completely devoured by Gatanothor, it seemed to evolve. The giant shell expanded once more, reaching around five hundred meters.
Sharp leg spines grew from below, and both of its large pincers transformed into scythe-like weapons.
The most notable feature was its backward-facing head, which suddenly elongated significantly, now sporting a long neck.
"Roar—"
A roar echoed through the skies, the surrounding darkness seemed to boil, transforming into a black whirlpool that shot skyward, crashing against the barrier created by Sophia.
Sizzle!
The darkness corroded the barrier, creating a breach, prompting Sophia's spheres to quickly attack Gatanothor, which had entered its second phase.
However, Gatanothor's tentacles casually flung out, binding the Sophia spheres one by one, feeding them into its mouth to devour.
Sophia's fusion ability was entirely ineffective against the dark power of Gatanothor, resulting only in their consumption.
