A massive "planet" was staring at him with familiar compound eyes.
Godzilla remembered this clearly. This thing... wasn't this one of his little bugs?!
--------------------------------------------
Lowering its head again, Godzilla rarely fell into silence.
Is this thing really that nutritious?
Sensing that familiar aura from Godzilla, the Giant Sting, already massive enough to become an entire planet, let out a series of shrill cries.
As for the Giant Sting… not to mention that its strength was nothing compared to Godzilla's, just Godzilla's aura of such a high niche alone was enough to make it behave obediently.
The internal structure of the swarm was extremely strict; high tiers completely suppressed low ecological niches. Even a newly hatched larva wouldn't dare show the slightest disrespect to an adult of a lower niche.
"Roar." Scatter.
Godzilla gave a low growl to the swarm, his voice carrying authority.
Upon hearing the order, the surrounding swarm quickly dispersed without the slightest hesitation.
Its tail stood upright, and the tip of the tail poked at the ground, causing a metallic humming sound when it touched an unknown type of energy material.
It was very hard, harder than any defense it had encountered before.
Godzilla gave an assessment.
This was an energy body harder than any enemy it had ever faced.
Where on earth did this come from?
That thought didn't linger long in Godzilla's mind; more than anything, it cared about the energy, after all, the energy being transmitted here was enormous.
Although it had already replenished itself with that energy in such a short time, that didn't mean Godzilla wouldn't take action on these things.
Godzilla had a good habit: good stuff is never too much!
Go!
In the next moment, Godzilla began actively absorbing the energy. As it drew them in, vast amounts of energy formed into a vortex, all rushing toward it!
Not far away, Herta watched this scene and fell into deep thought.
Where the hell did this thing come from? No, now isn't the time to be thinking about that!
"Even if Qlipoth doesn't interfere much, breaking down the Celestial Comet Wall… there's no way the Amber King will just ignore this, right?"
Qlipoth, a veteran of the Dusk War and one of the oldest Aeons, whose faith was spread across the entire cosmos.
But none of that mattered to Herta.
As the Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth's destiny was to forge these Celestial Comet Walls and subspace barriers measured in light-years!
No matter what, Godzilla was destroying what Qlipoth had painstakingly built!
This could really bring out the Amber King!
"Think of something, Herta, use that clever brain of yours, how do I warn him…"
The power of the Aeon of Preservation, known throughout the universe for fighting the Propagation Aeon for three whole Amber Eras, if that one were drawn here…
Herta suddenly froze.
A vast path energy swept across heaven and earth, covering the sky. In the next moment, a colossal godlike figure manifested, just it's mere presence was overwhelming, unbearable to gaze upon, and its restrained yet incomparable strength was constantly felt.
Even though this was merely a glimpse of a fraction of its true power!
The Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth, revered by all living beings of the universe as the Amber King, the faith of builders, and the sole faith of the Interasteral Peace Corporation!!
Herta's eyes went wide, and her hands moved on their own.
This was the Aeon of Preservation personally intervening! This data was so precious it was beyond measurable value!
"Heh heh, look who it is, oh, Amber King, my dear idiot, what brings you here today to admire your own handiwork?"
With Qlipoth's arrival, the true instigator of all this, Aha, revealed itself with an amused expression.
Aha's devilish laughter echoed through the stars as it looked at its "colleague."
"The hammer-wielding builder has time to go out and play today? I've got a game here, let's tear down some walls together! Ahahaha!"
Aha laughed loudly.
As it said, Preservation was a fool who only knew how to build walls, hammering away all day long.
The only time it charged forward was when fighting the big bug Tayzzyronth back then.
Normally, even if one strolled right in front of it, it wouldn't even give a glance, so boring.
But today, look what it saw: the idiot went out! Ahahaha, the idiot went out!
Qlipoth gave Aha one look, then ignored it.
An honest one like Himself and Aha were never on the same path.
It lowered its head, its gaze falling on Godzilla, who was looking up at it, tail relaxed and swaying.
'Qlipoth…'
Godzilla's mind was a little hazy, but it quickly pieced things together, yes! This wall was built by Qlipoth!
Godzilla finally remembered where it had absorbed that familiar energy from.
Topaz's cornerstone! The cornerstone containing the full authority of the Preservation Path!
This power was a gift from the Aeon of Preservation!
So that's why there was such a massive amount of energy floating around in the universe, it was painstakingly built by someone else.
Godzilla and the Amber King locked eyes, without the slightest nervousness.
Its senses told it that the Amber King had no hostility, in fact, to be more accurate, Aeons only walked their destinies/paths. Even if they attacked, it was only because someone's path conflicted with theirs or interfered with it.
There was no true malice.
In other words, it did not feel any threat from Qlipoth.
They would not make a move.
Slowly raising its hand, the boundless path energy gathered in Qlipoth's palm, a golden "sun" emerging out of thin air.
In the next second, the sun transformed into a golden river, flowing toward Godzilla.
Countless energies poured into Godzilla's body, even dyeing Godzilla itself golden.
Feeling the comfort spreading throughout its body, Godzilla couldn't help but squint its eyes in satisfaction, its tail subconsciously resting on the wall and moving slightly.
The pervasive sensation indicated extreme comfort.
"Aha wants in too~!"
Suddenly, such a phrase was spoken, followed by another surge of powerful Path energy pouring into Godzilla's body. Along with Qlipoth's Path Energy, it was purified by Godzilla's body and transformed into the purest energy rushing into Godzilla!
In the Amber King's eyes, Godzilla's identity as an ecological guardian was as conspicuous as Aha's.
It would protect countless living beings, while also nurturing its domain.
This was identical to Its Path of Preservation, just as Aha had said, Qlipoth was a fool who only knew how to build walls, though Godzilla had just absorbed a bit of the Celestial Comet Wall's energy.
But Qlipoth didn't care; It only needed to constantly build walls, blocking all dangers outside. It didn't mind this portion that Godzilla absorbed.
Even when a large hole was smashed in the wall by some Joking Bastard, It hadn't cared. Not to mention, Godzilla, as an ecological guardian, was completely one of Its own!
As for Aha… He purely thought it was fun.
The energy absorbed by Godzilla would completely turn into Godzilla's nourishment. Aha didn't care about this at all; Path energy was endless, and doing things in a group was joyful work anyway!
He just wanted to have a proper contest with that fool Qlipoth!
After a long while, Godzilla contentedly let out a burp.
Seeing this, Qlipoth stopped as well, while Aha seized the opportunity to slightly surpass Qlipoth.
"Aha wins big!"
After all this, Qlipoth's figure gradually faded, still returning to His own domain.
As for the cheering Aha on the side… That thing wasn't worth paying attention to.
"How's that, how's that? Didn't Aha say there was something good here?" Qlipoth's indifference couldn't dampen Aha's enthusiasm.
It came before Godzilla and spoke cheerfully.
"Whoo!" The tail tore through the starry sky, with a strength more powerful than ever before, at least in Godzilla's perception, breaking the wall under its feet now seemed much easier.
Stretching its tail, it patted Aha, and Godzilla was very satisfied.
"Roar" As expected of my good brother.
...
What happened to the Celestial Comet Wall, without exception, proved its hardness and unparalleled quality.
The Celestial Comet Wall, built by the Amber King and maintained by the IPC, was enough to deter any other force from even thinking about provoking it.
Even the top powers of the universe.
They knew that competing with the IPC in markets, tampering with the credit point system, all that was acceptable. The IPC was happy to play along, even if it lost, it wouldn't react too drastically.
Even military escalation would not push the IPC too far.
The one exception was matters involving the Amber King. On this, no matter the cost, if you offended the Amber King, the IPC would truly fight you to the death, even at the price of disappearing from the universe, it would erase anyone who offended the Amber King!
This was one of the safest places in the universe as recognized by countless civilizations.
But today, the safest place had witnessed something that should never have happened nearby!
People from the IPC and the Intelligentsia Guild were annihilated by a swarm in front of the Celestial Comet Wall. A giant beast named Godzilla descended upon the Celestial Comet Wall and absorbed its energy!
After that, the Aeon of Preservation, the Amber King revered throughout the universe, descended using an avatar!
Everyone thought They would deliver a thunderous blow to the beast that damaged the Celestial Comet Wall, yet they saw Them bestow an overwhelming amount of Path Energy upon the beast, a terrifyingly rich energy that both enticed and terrified.
The Amber King actually didn't punish the one who offended It?! What was so special about that giant beast!
And not only that, even the Aeon of Elation, another one of the top-tier Aeons, competed and bestowed equally overwhelming Path Energy. What kind of incomprehensible cosmic spectacle was this!!
The next night, countless people couldn't sleep.
All the powerful figures were thinking, meeting, as last night's events shocked everyone!
Especially…
"The Amber King's divine power descended; it's been a long time since we've seen such a thing!"
In this IPC's boardroom, those who could enter were undoubtedly powerful and capable, but above all, required devout faith in the Amber King.
Everyone in this room was one of the most faithful believers of the Amber King in the entire universe!
"I remember that one, he's called Godzilla, right? The giant beast, true ruler of Penacony, savior of the gods of Jarilo, ally of the Xianzhou Alliance, so many identities, it's unimaginable how one giant beast could be tied to so many powers."
"What's truly unbelievable is that he could actually make the Amber King personally appear and bestow blessings. With that concentrated Path Energy, even an ordinary person could become powerful enough to crush a skilled combatant with brute force."
"The Aeon of Elation also appeared, does this mean the balance of power is about to shift again?"
Everyone was discussing; these were the elites of the universe, the most powerful figures, all enthusiastically debating last night's events.
"Ahem!"
At this moment, a person seated at the head cleared their throat, silencing the excitement.
Everyone immediately became serious; someone who could sit at the head of such a meeting naturally had an extraordinary identity.
"I heard that someone within the IPC had made a deal with certain people from the Intelligentsia Guild and engaged in some small tricks?"
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Previously, those responsible might have just had to pay some price and sacrifice a few pawns to settle it.
But now… You can go die once!!!
...
Two Aeons descended to bestow their blessings at the same time, truly a great honor!
At this moment, the Six Charioteers of the Luofu had gathered, including the generals Feixiao of Yaoqing and Huaiyan of Zhuming, and even Topaz and the members of the Astral Express were among them.
The atmosphere felt almost tangible, frozen in place.
"Heh, what's with everyone's expressions? You all look so rosy; you shouldn't be that tired, right?"
Seeing the solemn expressions of everyone present, Jing Yuan felt a bit of a headache.
It reminded him of times when he sat and listened to stern military reports.
Fortunately, his words broke the strange tension.
"Your expression isn't much better either."
Feixiao exhaled softly and returned to her usual relaxed demeanor.
In fact, her mood had been fine all along. She was only trying to match everyone else's serious attitude earlier and didn't want to break the formation.
"Hehe, same here." Stelle scratched her cheek awkwardly.
Welt and Himeko believed that in such a serious situation, they should naturally look serious. As for March 7th... no need to take that air head into account.
"General Feixiao is right. When I came in, I also noticed your expression, Divine Strategist General."Huaien stroked his beard as he spoke.
"In that case, it's my fault. I apologize to everyone here," Jing Yuan said with a smile.
This bit of banter completely dispelled the heavy mood.
However, despite the lighthearted exchange, the reason for this gathering was to have a proper discussion.
Jing Yuan looked toward Lingsha and said, "Chief Alchemist of the Alchemy Commission, you know best what happened last night. How about you explain it to everyone?"
"Alright, General," Lingsha replied and began explaining what had transpired the previous night.
The Alchemy Commission is closest to the Scalegorge Waterscape.
Last night, she had asked Bailu to wait on the ship for an outworlder girl while she herself went to the border. By chance, she discovered the beginning of this whole incident.
"Firefly?!" Hearing that familiar name from Lingsha, Stelle blinked, somewhat confused.
Why did Firefly come to the Luofu? To participate in the martial ceremony? That shouldn't be possible, SAM is still a wanted criminal.
"Miss Stelle, you know Miss Firefly?"
"Uh, yeah." Stelle nodded.
"I see. If necessary, I can lead the way later," Lingsha replied before continuing.
"At first, I thought Godzilla went to repair the Celestial Comet Wall for the IPC. But after seeing the Lord of Elation, I realized the deeper connection."
After listening, Fu Xuan nodded slightly, her small face serious: " The Lord of Elation always acts on personal whims. Whatever interests him, no matter how absurd, he will see it through."
While speaking, Fu Xuan's eyes occasionally glanced toward the Express crew.
Everyone knows that The Lord of Elation once… well, the most famous story about him is that he… blew up the Astral Express… completely blew it into two pieces.
The Express was blasted into two pieces.
Since then, there's even been a rumor: "No Aha allowed."
"According to The Lord of Elation, Godzilla was either drawn to him or persuaded by him, which then led to everything that happened afterward," Yukong added.
"I have something to say!" March 7th suddenly raised her hand, her face serious.
"Oh? Please, Miss March," Jing Yuan smiled.
"So basically, Godzilla went to the Celestial Comet Wall, had a little snack, then got caught by Qlipoth, and instead of fighting him, Qlipoth gave him a ton of Path power? Oh, and Aha was there too."
"...Yes." Jing Yuan nodded. It was overly simplified, but it fully summed up what happened last night.
Still… this is way too ridiculous!
Who goes to tear down a wall and instead of getting smashed by Qlipoth's giant hammer, ends up being given something?!
What happened to the Qlipoth who shattered the Propagation Aeon's domain with three strikes?!
Regardless of how absurd it was, facts are facts. Any further doubts could be taken up with The Lord of Elation or the Amber King.
The Lord of Elation might be hard to find, but the Amber King is still there rebuilding the wall.If needed, the IPC and the Xianzhou can fund and support your travel there.
"So it's a good thing, right? Then why be so serious?" Stelle leaned back in her chair, relaxed and casual.
Looking at her carefree demeanor and remembering her connection to Godzilla, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips.
This person… has become an even bigger deal now.
Godzilla absorbed the Path powers of two… no, three Aeons entirely. His strength is unimaginable.
In fact, based on their full scans, the amount of Path power he received could create multiple Emanators, just staggering!
And when so much power is concentrated in one place, its potential eruption is unimaginable, incalculable.
No one in history has ever received such an overwhelming amount of power from three Aeons simultaneously.
No one!
Yet now, this impossibility had already become history, awe-inspiring and unbelievable.
