Chapter 266: Everywhere the Brother Goes...
"Ang..."
At the lake bottom, Godzilla's massive figure paused momentarily, slowly turned its head, stirring the underwater currents, and glanced at the long-absent "Little Brother."
"Puff puff..."
In the next moment, Godzilla suddenly extended its claw and, without warning, tore off one of the giant tentacles that had submitted and was lying motionless.
"Hiss..."
The tentacle snapped, and the tentacle monster buried deep beneath the lake let out a piercing screech, yet dared not resist at all, only able to watch helplessly as Godzilla ripped away one of its tentacles.
Meanwhile, Qin Shou curiously observed this colossal being's strange behavior, clueless about its intentions.
"Ang..."
Godzilla let out a low growl, then tossed the torn-off tentacle toward Qin Shou behind it.
Here, look how skinny you are, eat up...
Qin Shou: "..."
Looking at the terrifying tentacle that swam toward him, thicker than "his" own thigh and oozing dark blood into the lake water, Qin Shou instinctively swallowed hard.
Although the flesh of a Nightmare Nine Stars monster was undoubtedly highly nutritious for someone like him,
it was still a bit hard to stomach taking a bite.
Off to the side, Godzilla No.2 stealthily shifted its body, stretched its neck, trying to claim a share.
However, under Godzilla's authoritative and indisputable gaze, it had no choice but to withdraw its head, leaving the bounty to Qin Shou, this inexplicably appearing kin.
Seeing this, Qin Shou mobilized the atomic energy within his body. Accompanied by faint streams of black and white energy, he released a weak and peculiar Atomic Breath from his mouth, roasting the tentacle before taking a bite.
"Crunch crunch..."
After a few bites, Qin Shou's eyes lit up. From Godzilla's perspective on taste, this stuff was not bad. Plus, the energy contained within it was at least... fifty thousand times more than beef.
A few hundred years ago, during the early days of the Monster Era, Godzilla primarily replenished its bodily energy through Earth's Core Energy and nuclear energy without needing to eat.
Yet, after Earth's Core Energy erupted on a large scale, both monsters and humans came to possess varying amounts of Earth's Core Energy within their bodies.
Thus, hunting powerful monsters became one of Godzilla's ways to rapidly strengthen itself.
In just a few hundred years, Godzilla's size grew to an enormous three hundred meters, becoming Earth's first Disaster-level Monster and undoubtedly the King of Monsters.
There was even surplus energy left to spawn offspring, namely the one named Godzilla No.2 by Qidian.
However, toward humans, Godzilla maintained an "I-don't-care" attitude.
Meanwhile, noticing Qin Shou's peculiar Atomic Breath, Godzilla did not doubt Qin Shou's identity.
It had encountered mutated kin before, although those so-called kin were either controlled by aliens firing at it or arrogantly attacking either through stealth or ambush.
Where could you find one as obedient and cute as this little one right here?
Hmm, such a dilemma. Who should inherit this king's throne in the future?
Never mind, not thinking about it. This king's lifespan has long transcended limits; for all we know, we'll outlive each other.
"Ang..."
Letting out a low growl, Godzilla emerged from the lake with its two "cuties."
"Splash splash..."
Standing at three hundred meters, only a slight elevation of Godzilla's body brought half of it above the lake surface. The water cascaded like waterfalls, and under the bright afternoon sun, a rainbow bridge appeared behind Godzilla's head, stretching across the horizon.
The moment Godzilla surfaced, drone scouts patrolling the skies immediately transmitted live footage to the nearby base.
At the base, notified by the scene, director Qin Shuang led a group of subordinates to the control room, her usually calm face full of disbelief.
"What? This time there's not just a big one and a small one, but a new one as well?"
Qin Shuang couldn't help but exclaim but showed no signs of excessive fear.
In a way, the Godzilla species could be considered humanity's "ally."
Because Godzilla never proactively attacked humans; on the contrary, it would appear when Disaster-level Monsters threatened Earth and annihilate them.
Although stabilizing its "throne" was one of Godzilla's motives, it did not conflict with humanity's interests.
Thus, Godzilla and humanity had long upheld a "live and let live" relationship and would even team up in dire circumstances.
After pondering briefly, Qin Shuang issued an order: "Notify the Guard Team to record all data regarding this newly emerged Godzilla and strictly forbid anyone from attacking it."
Nearby, a uniformed officer nodded earnestly but hesitated, saying, "But, Madam Qin Shuang, this command only restrains Federation personnel. The Demonic Group and Zeus Group..."
Qin Shuang snorted coldly, "If they dare exploit Earth's chaos to plot against Godzilla, even if they escape Earth, my father won't let them off!"
"Understood, I'll relay the message."
...
Meanwhile, the giant beast led the two smaller Godzillas onto the lakeshore. The ground immediately cracked apart, groaning under the unbearable weight as countless monsters fled in panic, running for their lives.
Behind the giant beast, Qin Shou strutted arrogantly with a swaggering gait, straightening his back. His demeanor was entirely out of sync with the other two.
Traveling with Earth's strongest powerhouse, he naturally embraced swagger to the fullest.
Otherwise, it'd be a disservice to this incredible suit.
This scene was captured by drones high in the sky, transmitted back to the base control room, leaving many monitoring staff dumbstruck.
"This... This Godzilla is awfully cocky!"
"Yeah, if I were trailing behind the King of Monsters, believe it or not, I'd be even cockier than him!"
"Haha, how cocky could you possibly get? When it comes to swagger, no one beats me, Yi Jiao Shou..."
...
On land, the black giant beast rampaged freely, trampling through endless dense forests.
Following Godzilla closely, Qin Shou couldn't fathom the real reason for Godzilla's appearance here.
