Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods.

Chapter 92 A New Era

Despite the passage of time, scenes continue to unfold under this young sun.

A land once covered in ice and snow has been completely restored to life. Forests have returned to the land, and creatures that cross the strait have gradually multiplied throughout the continent, and traces of humans have appeared.

In this still-unenlightened era, almost no one believed that hundreds of years ago, many parts of the world were once shrouded in the same storm.

Only in some human settlements are stories of terrible storms passed down by word of mouth, which seems to have added a rich touch to the ancient murals.

Unfortunately, people today believe it was just an ordinary rainstorm, a story exaggerated and constructed by our ancestors.

Modern humans simply cannot comprehend what happened during that period.

Perhaps only in the distant future, when future generations of humans who have mastered advanced technology will unearth these remnants of history.

Only by restoring them and connecting them with legends and traces passed down from other human civilizations can we piece together the fragments of that period.

But these things are too far removed from humankind today.

For people in this era, survival has become increasingly difficult, and they now face not only the problems of food and crops.

The constant stream of natural disasters, the enormous shadows behind them, and the hordes of greedy beasts filled them with immense fear.

It is unclear when it began, but many extraordinary creatures have appeared in this world. These creatures are larger than trees and have shapes unlike any other creatures known to humankind.

Moreover, these unimaginable creatures seem to possess supernatural powers, such as fire, gales, and even the power of lightning and vibration.

Among them are giant serpents that roam the sands, spewing forth chaotic black mist. There are also long, slender crocodiles that swim in the vast rivers.

There are also bizarre creatures that seem to come from outer space, giant beasts hidden deep within volcanoes and covered in fiery scales, and so on.

Compared to them, humans are almost indistinguishable from ants; they are numerous but extremely vulnerable.

These creatures seem to have replaced humans as the protagonists of this world, roaming the vast world and slumbering in places of death such as miasma and poisonous fog.

Whenever they awaken from the dead, a place inaccessible to humans, their bodies become even stronger, and their supernatural powers become even more terrifying.

These beings can tear apart mountains and flatten forests with a single charge; their supernatural power is no different from the disasters that humans have encountered.

Gradually, ignorant humans associated them with nature and disasters, viewing these creatures as supreme gods who ruled the entire world.

Humans on various continents have witnessed different "gods" fighting each other in many areas, causing extremely serious damage to human activity zones.

Although the gods, who are high above, are not interested in humans and rarely persecute them, the powerful creatures that follow the gods often treat humans as food.

Humans are among the largest and most numerous beings in the world, making them an ideal food source for mythical beasts that follow the gods.

This behavior not only greatly reduced the living space of humankind, but also passively led to the further expansion of human culture and mythology.

Under these circumstances, humans had no choice but to spontaneously form larger tribes, relying on their population advantage and the power of their wisdom to strengthen themselves and resist danger.

Under unprecedented survival pressure, humanity seems to have returned to the state of rapid evolution and arms race millions of years ago, with civilization progressing at an astounding pace.

Despite this, humans still frequently perished in the aftermath of the gods' battles, and their fear of them reached its peak.

But what humanity could not have imagined was that in such a terrifying world, plants became more and more vigorous, and the vitality of life became more and more abundant.

Many prey that had disappeared from human murals began to reappear one after another, the number of various creatures increased rapidly, and even the crops cultivated by humans grew faster.

This series of changes was difficult for the wise men of several major tribes in human civilization to understand.

But as they gathered and held events time and time again, they gradually made an incredible discovery.

Not only are various animals reappearing in the world, but the human population is also constantly increasing amidst unknown changes.

Despite the constant deaths of humans during this era, amidst battles between gods, attacks by strange beasts, and natural disasters, the overall population was mysteriously increasing.

The changes of the times are not limited to the surface of the earth; the changes in the deep sea and the inner world of the earth are equally dramatic.

The environment there is far more favorable, and the number of newly formed Titans is far greater than on the surface.

Almost all Titans were born in the inner world, and the same is true for many Titans that live on the surface. The vast majority of Titans appear on the surface to avoid the terrifying competition.

The Titans, who live in the inner world, benefit from a favorable environment, and their size and strength grow at a much faster rate than those on the surface.

They are young and powerful, eager to establish their niche among the many Titans, and fierce conflicts occur almost every day.

For Titans, the moment they are born, they have already joined this endless competition.

Many arrogant Titans even actively seek out and provoke other ancient Titans and slumbering Earth monsters, but the fate of these Titans is self-evident.

Many gentle Titan guardians and monsters rarely harm these nascent Titans.

In their minds, Titans are not worthy of being considered competitors until they possess power comparable to themselves; in certain special circumstances, they might even offer a small amount of help.

But once a Titan reaches its full potential, it can join the dog-eat-dog world, beating and killing whatever it needs to.

The Destroyers, however, are somewhat different. They have always maintained a consistent attitude towards Titans that are not of their own kind: if they can defeat them, they kill them; if they cannot, they run away.

The entire Earth became incredibly lively, with traces of the new generation of Titans appearing in every corner of the world. Monsters that had been sleeping in various corners of the Earth were frequently awakened from their dreams by the various disturbances caused by the Titans.

From this point on, Earth's landscape rapidly changed, hurtling headlong down a wild path.

...

As Earth marches down a wild path, Pandora is also developing along a peculiar one.

On the floating island beneath the false sky, Longbo sensed some kind of information, and the eyes of the mask trembled slightly.

You have a new task; please confirm it as soon as possible.

[Mission Description: Defeat Mechagodzilla]

[Quest Reward: Skill Point *1]

"... "

"Mechanical...Godzilla...?"

In the stone seat above the floating island, Longbo slowly opened his eyes, and a blue light slowly rose.

Chapter 93 The Magic Realm and Legends (Happy Lantern Festival!)

As Longbo awoke, an invisible wave swept across the entire Pandora realm, alerting the creatures living below, who all looked up at the sky.

The floating island cast shadows under the false sunlight, obscuring the view above, but they could still clearly sense that Longbo had awakened.

Longbo's gaze fell upon the world that was quietly changing before him, and in just a moment he took in all the information about the Pandora Magic Realm at this moment.

The already endless forests became even more lush, and many plants underwent mutations, evolving into carnivorous creatures in just a few hundred years.

The roots of a towering fir tree buried deep in the ground grew thicker and thicker, as hard as steel. They instinctively gathered together, stirring restlessly, their faint consciousness revealing an extreme thirst for flesh and blood.

Most creatures that inadvertently choose to nest in this carnivorous tree do not survive the first night and are eventually devoured silently.

The orchids under the tree became even more vibrant, their stems extremely hard, almost indistinguishable from bamboo, and their roots emerged from the ground, wriggling at an inconspicuous speed.

A gentle breeze lifts the spores from the flower buds, landing them on the surrounding creatures, where they quickly germinate and use them as their first source of nourishment for growth.

The bamboo brought to this world by the giants grew explosively, reaching heights of hundreds of meters and encroaching on vast grasslands. A glance revealed many creatures pierced by bamboo shoots, their blood flowing along the shoots and seeping into the roots.

The aberrant evolution among plants is terrifying, and the changes in the animals that inhabit this area are equally remarkable.

Many already enormous creatures became even more astonishing through mysterious radiation assimilation, with almost all wild animals abandoning their fur in favor of thick scales.

Their claws and fangs became increasingly sharp, and the intensity of competition with plants caused them to develop abnormal body temperatures and defensive capabilities, thus evading the silent strangulation and parasitism of plants.

Moreover, these creatures gradually shrank their forelimbs and became increasingly robust in their hind limbs, evolving towards a humanoid form.

In just a few hundred years, this vast forest has been completely transformed into a deadly zone fraught with danger.

Plants are revitalized, competing with forest creatures for "air" and greedily coveting flesh and blood.

Animals exposed to this pollution have shown a tendency to evolve into humanoid forms.

All living things in the world have evolved the ability to adapt to high-potential environments, and their bodies have developed organs that can absorb and store electricity.

Perhaps thousands of years from now, the descendants of these creatures will evolve the ability to breathe lightning.

The giants living beneath this floating island have undergone tremendous changes; in just a few hundred years, they have broken through the limits due to Longbo's genetic contamination.

His height increased from an average of a dozen meters to an astonishing thirty meters, his weight reached over a thousand tons, and he grew two horns on his forehead similar to Longbo's, resulting in a leap in combat power.

Longbo initially speculated that, under these conditions, their size would catch up with the Black Dragon derivative species that inhabited the icy plains of the inner world at an astonishing speed.

Thanks to their leap in combat power, they were able to establish themselves firmly in this world even without protection, and occupy a top ecological position by relying on their faster rate of evolution.

But even they have to spend a lot of time every day dealing with the extremely terrifying ecological environment.

For example, before going to bed, you can clear away the bamboo shoots that grow each day, and in the morning, you can pick up a forged machete to clear away the spreading vines and branches.

Regularly trimming houses to prevent them from regrowing into trees, keeping the tribe's children locked up to prevent them from running into planting areas and being eaten by the crops, etc.

Looking around, all living things have been assimilated by Longbo's genes and forced to evolve in Longbo's direction.

All living things, including plants and fungi, are extensions of his genes. In human terms, all living things in the Demon Realm are his offspring.

With a single thought, Longbo could control their will and manipulate the entire world's ecology for his own purposes.

At this moment, however, this targeted ecological pollution is only in its initial stage. Although it poses a great danger to ordinary creatures, it does not pose a high threat to monsters and Titans.

...

After spending a few seconds getting a general idea of ​​the changes brought about by this test, Longbo focused his attention on the task of awakening himself.

Mechagodzilla.

It is a famous "monster" in the Godzilla universe, which appeared to rival Godzilla, and there are many versions of it.

Mechagodzilla typically possesses a powerful breath attack comparable to Godzilla, a body forged from high-strength metal, superior mobility, and unimaginable firepower.

Its origins are numerous, some created by humans and others by aliens, but without exception, its existence is solely for the purpose of killing Godzilla.

Every part and every program in its body was created under the control of the will of a certain group to cope with Godzilla's various data.

Mechagodzilla is essentially a weapon of war created specifically to counter Godzilla.

Regardless of the version, it poses no challenge to Lonbo now; his weapons, designed to counter various Godzillas, pose no threat to him.

At this moment, it was added to Longbo's elimination list, and the reward was extremely attractive to Longbo, who no longer had any source of income from attribute points and skill points.

There was absolutely no reason to refuse.

Longbo immediately accepted the task and disappeared into the Pandora's Realm like a bubble.
