Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods.

But neither he nor his teacher, Tau, will get the answer they want in the short term.

As the light in the sky gradually faded, they exchanged glances, stood together, and assumed a wary stance.

Although the monster before them was bathed in planetary light, they didn't know if it would harm them and their people, especially since it had recently made a statement...

He doesn't care about the civilizations on this planet.

They also learned from the Magma aliens' language the title of the beings before them—the Balancers.

In their view, the only beings who could possess such a title, besides cold and ruthless programs, were those who used the title to carry out ulterior motives.

Furthermore, given the terrifying power of this being before them—which instantly teleported the mighty Magma Grand Commander to an unknown location and annihilated the remaining Magma aliens underground—they had no choice but to be wary.

But their vigilance was clearly futile. Longbo lowered his gaze again, glanced at them casually, and then turned his attention back to the earth.

Radiation undetectable to ordinary people emanated from his body, spreading rapidly throughout the planet and quickly adjusting the planet's ecology to a suitable level.

Having done all this, Longbo withdrew his gaze, steered the golden ship forward, and barely perceptible ripples appeared with the rainbow, swallowing the enormous silhouette.

And just like that, Longbo and the Golden Ship vanished from Leo and Doru's bewildered eyes.

Not only that, the figure of Grand Commander Magma's huge mount also disappeared, as if it had been swallowed up by an invisible maw while trembling, leaving no trace behind.

Then, in their eyes, the magnificent rainbow disappeared straight into the sky, heading into the depths of the universe, and completely leaving this galaxy.

Shortly after he left, Tauru, due to the severity of his injuries, deactivated his transformation, reverted to his human form, and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Leo panicked instantly, deactivated his transformation, came to his side, picked him up, and turned to walk towards the huge castle to seek help.

...

Pandora's Wonderland, beyond the forest.

Longbo's figure appeared without warning, and the surrounding plants rejoiced at the arrival of the gene source, blooming flowers and their emerald green leaves gleaming.

He gently raised his head to look at the fungus on the other side of the forest and sensed new life.

The golden ship stood to the side, its head bowed, watching everything with curiosity. Death, Gilas, appeared on the distant plain. Before it could find a place to hide, two powerful shadows appeared behind it, their yellow light shining like stars.

The golden ship gazed at the vibrant flowers before it, its eyes reflecting their beautiful silhouettes. Hallucinogenic pollen flooded its body through its nostrils, numbing its nerves.

In just a moment, it saw figures appear before it, making its mouth water. It opened its blood-red maw and bit into the flower bushes, swallowing a large number of flowers.

But soon, it was punished. The neurotoxin paralyzed its body, and its hundreds of thousands of tons of body collapsed with a thud, foaming at the mouth. The figure of its ancestor became clear in its eyes.

The enormous roar caused Longbo, who had been gazing into the distance, to turn around and look at the golden ship with a mind full of doubt, wondering what kind of trouble this guy was up to now.

But when Longbo figured out the situation, his eyes became extremely speechless; this guy was simply hopeless.

Why does this guy always manage to do things like this?

With this question in mind, Longbo strode into the depths of the forest, ignoring the vampire vines that were gradually climbing up the golden ship.

As Longbo ventured deeper into the forest, he suddenly realized that he had never seen the food chain of this magical realm up close before.

For a long time, he has relied on his control over the world to observe and understand its development.

But today, he intends to observe the world with his hands and eyes.

As Longbo ventured deeper into the world, many creatures from its ecosystem came into close view.

Plants with human faces and bony armor are scattered throughout the forest. Whenever a creature enters their hunting range, it will be strangled by the vines.

The forest is home to a large number of highly poisonous plants that are difficult to distinguish from ordinary plants. Every time a herbivore hunts for food, it is a life-or-death struggle.

The toxins they carry are extremely deadly; even a creature of the size of a golden ship can be easily brought down, and creatures with flesh and blood are unlikely to be able to resist them.

Upon seeing Longbo's arrival, all the creatures in the forest gathered towards him, with various vines and limbs covered in bone armor appearing in the shadows, creating a chaotic dance of demons.

Most of the creatures brought out from the Earth's inner world have begun to show humanoid forms. Longbo's passive ability has permanently altered their genes, causing them to move closer to humanoid forms at an astonishing speed.

Perhaps it won't be long before they completely transform into human form.

Besides various creatures evolving into humanoid forms, this forest is also home to many strange species.

Carnivorous centipedes, some hundreds of meters long and as wide as a tall building, can grow from stones and rotten wood that have grown flesh and blood.

These are large bees, about the size of an adult, with a tail containing a large amount of liquid capable of dissolving living organisms. When attacked, they detonate themselves, releasing the liquid inside their bodies as mist that dissolves all ordinary creatures around them.

Therefore, Longbo often referred to this vast forest as Super Katachon.

After all, danger lurks everywhere in this forest. Even monsters without the ability to overturn tables would have a hard time surviving. They would either be devoured by various creatures or survive and be assimilated by the forest.

Just as Longbo had penetrated thousands of kilometers into the interior, a group of creatures that formed a primitive tribe appeared before him and knelt down before him.

They are about 35 meters tall, and their physical characteristics are close to those of Longbo, but their limbs are thick and their body hair has not completely disappeared.

These creatures, mutated from the Lone Reef Bull Demons, now have bull heads, and their facial features are beginning to resemble human features.

Just like the minotaurs often seen in movies.

They seem to have evolved a sense of shame, wearing the skins of other species and carrying various bones and hardwoods as weapons.

They offered their loyalty the moment they met Longbo, who scrutinized them for a moment before dismissing them and refusing their offerings.

After all, as pure carnivores, their status in this forest is only average.

Since almost every plant in the forest is extremely dangerous, purely carnivorous creatures are no longer among the strongest first-tier creatures.

In the realm of Pandora, aside from the two Zettons, the most powerful beings are neither the Golden Ship nor the Wartdog.

Plants are truly at the top of the food chain; not only do they compete with animals for air after they become active, but they can even hunt.

The first row consisted entirely of plants or fungi: a bamboo grove, a cluster of mushrooms, and towering trees.

The second group consists of omnivorous creatures that eat both plants and animals, while the third group consists of carnivorous or herbivorous organisms.

If they weren't so physically challenged, they could also be used as a powerful fighting force.

Unfortunately, they are kings in Pandora's Realm, but if left outside, they are just targets.

Longbo ventured deeper and finally stopped in front of a mushroom thicket that stretched for tens of kilometers.

What comes into view is a colorful expanse of mushrooms, an endless expanse of mushrooms of varying sizes, some as large as modern skyscrapers, others over ten meters tall.

There was no sign of any animals near this mushroom patch, only piles of white bones buried in the soil beneath the mycelium.

As Longbo arrived, countless fluorescent spores scattered in the wind, creating a colorful rain of light before his eyes.

Chapter 145 WAAAGH! ! !

A dazzling rain of light fell before Longbo's eyes, then was carried by a gentle breeze to the edge of the forest and bamboo grove. Spores landed on the ground, germinated, and took over the land.

Fungi spread throughout the world, showing no regard for the life or death of forests and bamboo groves.

Longbo merely glanced at it calmly and paid it little attention. It was normal for the three parties to erode each other; they would all do the same thing.

His gaze pierced through the rain of light, landing on the two giant mushrooms in the distance, towering like twin towers.

Longbo sensed that the two mushrooms were already gestating the embryonic form of a monster.

"... "

Longbo remained silent for a moment, then stepped into the mushroom jungle covered with mycelium, stopping in front of a green mushroom that was almost as tall as him.

His eyes narrowed slightly as the scene inside the giant mushroom came into view.

The first thing that appeared before him was a mycelial chamber that resembled a womb, its surface filled with nutrient solution drawn from the sunlight and soil.

Strands of mycelium, resembling flesh and blood, intertwined, continuously providing nutrients to the embryonic form, nurturing the growth of the monster.

Although they are currently only embryonic forms, and have only been born for a few hours, their rapid growth has already given them a semblance of being fully formed.

The emerald green monster has a humanoid shape, with facial features similar to humans, but a more robust body.

Perhaps to maximize the efficiency of photosynthesis, they have no hair at all, and every muscle fiber in their bodies contains particles that efficiently perform photosynthesis.

Two fangs protruding into their lips have appeared at the corners of their mouths. Their bones are exceptionally robust, and all their organs are designed for combat. They have no redundant gender or reproductive systems.

Although they were born only a few hours ago, they have already grown to seven or eight meters tall. Their powerful hearts pump blood, allowing them to develop at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Based on Longbo's extensive experience and observations, if given sufficient power, these monsters would be no less powerful than most cannon fodder monsters in the universe.

Before long, they will emerge from these two mushrooms and take their first breath of air.

Longbo looked around and found that the mushrooms of all sizes around him had similar functions, but they did not yet have enough nutrients to cultivate.

Then, Longbo turned to look at the forest behind him. The carnivorous plants were now devouring the spores at an astonishing speed, preventing the fungus from spreading, and in turn using the energy-rich spores as nutrients.

The bamboo forest in the distance is the same; relying on its rich root system and unique symbiotic insects, it blocks the invasion of fungi.

Clearly, just as Longbo predicted, none of the three parties could do anything to the others, and none of them could effectively encroach on each other's territory.

But at this moment, the two gestating monsters are telling Longbo that the fungus's ambition to devour and expand seems even stronger.

Faced with the inability to expand effectively using conventional methods, the mycelium began to resort to violent means, perhaps because it had seen many enormous monsters in this magical realm.

The mycelium began to contemplate the idea of ​​creating monsters to help it expand, until the light of planet L77 merged into the Pandora's Realm, at which point its plan was fully launched.

Clearly, it attempts to breed monsters, hatch them, and then use the monsters' violence to dismantle forests and bamboo groves, allowing the mycelium to spread and complete its expansion.

"This is... way too amazing."

Longbo was astonished by this, never expecting that the mycelium, which he rarely paid attention to, had already begun to create monsters.

In this arms race between fungi, herbaceous plants, and woody plants, fungi have clearly won.

While the bamboo was playing symbiotic games and finding helpers, and the forest was constantly adding to its carnivorous path, the fungi had already begun to create monsters, clearly showing the difference in strength.

If Longbo doesn't take action, the forests and bamboo groves will soon be overrun by fungi, and the creatures living in them will be crushed like speed bumps.

This won't take long.

After a brief moment of thought, Longbo intervened directly, controlling the forest and bamboo grove to split off half of the territory and give it to the fungi.

They lost the arms race, and Lumbert felt that leaving them half their territory was already very lenient; if he didn't take care of them, they wouldn't have any left.

As Longbo's will was conveyed, the root systems of trees and bamboo began to recede, and many trees and bamboo even uprooted their roots from the ground and ran back to more densely populated areas.

The ubiquitous mycelium, sensing this change, showed no mercy, expanding wholeheartedly with both mycelium and spores working in tandem.

Delicate mycelia intertwine and spread, laying a brightly colored carpet of fungus on the yellowish-brown soil, and mushrooms grow at a visible speed.

Spores swirled around Longbo, landing on his cloak and palms. A faint consciousness followed, the collective consciousness of the mycelium conveying its gratitude to Longbo.

Longbo gazed quietly at the golden spore in his palm, and couldn't help but recall the planetary will Ava he had once encountered, who also seemed to communicate with him through spores.
