Kong still watched Godzilla with vigilance, feeling a sense of danger from him. He felt that one of them had to back down, just like the rivalry between Kong and the Skullcrawler; one of them had to die.
However, Kong did not know why Godzilla had helped him. Even if Kong wanted to fight Godzilla to the death, he no longer had the strength. Even without Godzilla, he was already on the verge of death; his injuries were simply too severe.
Ye Ye also wanted to give the other party a chance, so he let out a roar that conveyed: "Submit to me, and I can save your life."
Kong: "I! The Kong clan does not submit. Kill me."
Ye Ye naturally could not save a creature that posed a threat to him, but in truth, they were neither enemies nor friends. Their hatred was merely a matter of race and bloodline, nothing more than a struggle for supreme power and the throne of kingship.
Ye Ye respected this king, so he used his Atomic Breath to end the other's life.
Kong closed his eyes, waiting for death.
Ye Ye prepared to cross Skull Island and head toward Sea God Island, which lay behind it.
Ye Ye passed through the forest, encountering many new species along the way. Their cultivation systems were completely different from those of Douluo Continent, and their average height was greater than the soul beasts of Douluo Continent, indicating that they were all Titans, albeit with very low-level bloodlines.
The biodiversity here was incredibly rich. It possessed a complete biological system, entirely distinct from Douluo Continent and isolated from the rest of the world.
Just then, Ye Ye heard a cry similar to that of a human infant. Ye Ye knew there couldn't be human infants here, so it had to be some kind of ape.
Ye Ye became interested because the aura behind the sound was extremely powerful—certainly not something an ordinary ape could produce. Ye Ye felt he should go and take a look.
Ye Ye concealed his aura and shrank his Godzilla body, as his current height of over 100 meters was too conspicuous and unsuitable for secret observation.
Ye Ye could now control the lower limit of his body size to shrink, but he could not control the upper limit, nor could he force his body to grow taller.
Ye Ye moved toward the source of the sound. Although it felt very close, it was actually quite far away. Because of Godzilla's current strength, Ye Ye's hearing was heightened, and he was also drawn by the bloodline aura carried within the sound; if the bloodline had been lower, he might not have heard it at all.
Ye Ye quickened his pace and soon arrived at the source of the sound. He hid in a thicket of grass. With his ability to conceal himself and the fact that the creatures were focused entirely on each other, they did not notice Ye Ye.
There were three creatures here: a wolf and two apes. The wolf and the adult ape were staring at each other, swords drawn and bows bent, the air thick with tension. Both were about ten meters tall, roughly the same size as Ye Ye's current form.
The wolf was entirely black, with red light glowing beneath its skin, and its eyes shone with a glint of intelligence. The ape was bleeding all over and looked to be in critical condition, likely caused by the wolf.
The sound that had piqued Ye Ye's interest came from the other ape. It had just been born, its eyes not yet open, and its body was covered in blood. It was clearly a newborn, yet Ye Ye could already see the makings of a king in it.
Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, scan."
[Ding! Scan successful:
1. Titan Demon Wolf (Bloodline: the lowest of the low (among Titans))
2. Giant Ape (Possesses 0.00001% of sub-Kong bloodline, can be awakened later; after awakening, Titan bloodline will reach 30%)
3. Kong Cub (Possesses 10% pure Kong bloodline; after special awakening, it can reach 100% Kong bloodline, and it is the kingly bloodline among Kongs)
System reminder: The host's Mysterious Serum can trigger the awakening of the Kong bloodline.]
Ye Ye: "I completely forgot about this Mysterious Serum. So it can awaken bloodlines? Can I use it?"
[Ding! No. This serum is exclusive to the Kong bloodline and has nothing to do with the Godzilla bloodline.]
Ye Ye: "What a pity. But giving it to this Kong isn't out of the question. It would be a way to win over a peer. Even though they are natural enemies, Ye Ye felt this Kong would surely be useful for his plans."
(The foreshadowing begins. Try to guess what the plan is.)
Ye Ye stepped out, and both soul beasts became vigilant upon seeing Godzilla.
Both beasts: "How did he get here?"
Ye Ye didn't want to waste time and walked straight toward the Titan Demon Wolf. The Titan Demon Wolf roared; it could sense Godzilla's power and his killing intent.
Titan Demon Wolf: "Don't come over! No! Stop, I'm going to break!"
Author: "Ahem, back to the main topic."
Ye Ye walked up to the Titan Demon Wolf and mercilessly embedded a claw into its body, then lifted it up with one hand. The Titan Demon Wolf wanted to flee this place of misfortune, but Ye Ye's claws were embedded too deeply; it couldn't escape at all.
Titan Demon Wolf: "I was just looking for prey, spare me!"
Ye Ye tore the Titan Demon Wolf apart with his bare hands, clean and efficient, without a hint of hesitation. Just like that, the Titan Demon Wolf kicked the bucket.
Then, Ye Ye walked toward the ape. It became vigilant, but Ye Ye had no intention of killing it, as the little Kong still needed someone—no, some monkey—to take care of it. So, Ye Ye ignored it and walked straight to the Kong Cub.
The Kong Cub sensed a beast approaching and began to cry again. The mother ape wanted to rush over to save the cub, but she sensed that Godzilla had no malicious intent; perhaps this was a stroke of fortune.
Ye Ye asked the system how to fuse it: "Xiao Ai, how do I fuse it?"
[Ding! Do you wish to proceed with the fusion?]
Ye Ye: "That's a must."
[Ding! Fusing... Fusion successful.]
After the Mysterious Serum was fused, the Kong Cub's fur began to emit a golden light, and it unconsciously radiated the power of its bloodline. This power was filled with the aura of a king, causing the surrounding lesser Titans to submit.
Then, the Kong Cub opened its eyes, which were filled with light. It stared at Godzilla. Although the Kong bloodline was inherently at odds with a creature like Godzilla, the Kong Cub felt that Godzilla was very intimate, just like a brother.
After finishing his business, Ye Ye left, but he did not know that the Kong Cub had already remembered him.
After Ye Ye left, the mother ape came over, picked up the Kong Cub, and checked to see if it was injured. Finding that it was unharmed, she carried the Kong Cub away.
Ye Ye continued forward. He passed through forests, crossed grasslands, and climbed snow-capped mountains. After a day of travel, he finally reached the edge of Skull Island. There was a cliff here, and Ye Ye looked down, wanting to perform a perfect 100-point dive.
Next, the author will explain Godzilla's god-tier diving scene.
Author: "This is today's defending champion of the men's 100-meter cliff diving, and the only finalist, because all the other contestants were eliminated in the previous semifinals and qualifying rounds."
Author: "Look, Godzilla is warming up. Today, Godzilla plans to perform a beyond-the-limit ten-and-a-half rotation before entering the water."
Author: "Look, Godzilla pushed off with his legs and jumped straight down, cracking the cliff itself. Godzilla performed a perfect one-and-a-half rotation and slapped directly into the water. Surprisingly, there wasn't a single splash—it was a monstrous tidal wave!"
Author: "The six judges unanimously gave a score of zero. Congratulations to Godzilla for winning the championship!"
Although Godzilla had shrunk, his mass remained the same. Ye Ye had cracked the cliff with his exertion just now, and at that moment, the top of the cliff snapped off completely and fell into the water.
After Ye Ye entered the water, he returned to his original height and swam rapidly toward Sea God Island.
Ye Ye passed through that massive storm again, and then he got lost.
Ye Ye was a true pathologically directionless person. If it weren't for the fact that it was morning and he could rely on the sun rising in the east, he wouldn't have been able to tell north from south at all. In the end, Ye Ye had to summon the "Unscrupulous Navigation."
"You finally remembered me. I thought you'd forgotten all about me."
Ye Ye: "It's not like I haven't been busy lately. Hurry up and lead the way."
"I won't. Give me a reason."
Ye Ye: "I'll buy you a VIP subscription."
"Alrighty! Your reason has successfully moved me. My good sir, the destination is 10,000 meters directly ahead. Estimated time of arrival: 10 minutes."
Just as Ye Ye was on his way to Sea God Island, the system's voice chimed in.
[Ding! Would you like to purchase a VIP subscription?]
Ye Ye: "What VIP?"
[Ding! The Unscrupulous Navigation VIP, of course!]
Ye Ye hadn't expected there to actually be a VIP, so he asked: "What's the price?"
[Ding! 1,000 points.]
Ye Ye: "So expensive? Are there any perks after purchasing it?"
[Ding! No.]
Ye Ye: "That's so shady, even shadier than Captain Ma. At least he gives you something, but this doesn't even offer a hair's worth of value. Not buying it!"
Unscrupulous Navigation: "Going back on your word, I'll *********"
After a while, Ye Ye finally saw Sea God Island, but he felt that if he showed up in his current state, a fight would definitely break out, so he decided he needed to bring out the Titan Battleship.
Ye Ye arrived at a nearby small island, transformed back into a human, took out the Titan Battleship, and boarded it.
The Titan Battleship was equipped with artificial intelligence, possessed infinite power, and had infinite resources. As long as it didn't sink, it was a perpetual motion vessel.
Furthermore, the Titan Battleship was armed with weapons, which were more than enough to protect the ship's safety.
Ye Ye piloted the Titan Battleship toward Sea God Island, sitting in a chair while sipping coffee.
Just then, a fleet appeared in front of the Titan Battleship. It bore the flag of the Star Luo Empire, and it was even gold-trimmed, suggesting it belonged to the royal family.
The fleet saw the large ship ahead, and the captain shouted: "Can't you see we are the royal fleet of the Star Luo Empire? Get out of the way immediately!"
Although Ye Ye hated his tone, he felt that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, so he decided to move aside.
But then, the royal personage spoke up: "I think your ship is quite nice. Give it to me, and I'll trade my ship for yours."
Ye Ye was instantly enraged: "What kind of dog are you barking at? You want my ship? Take a look at your own ship—it's a piece of trash that even a dog wouldn't want. I'm not moving an inch today!"
The royal personage was furious upon hearing this and said to the captain: "Captain Ma, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and sink his ship for me!"
Captain Ma: "Yes, sir."
Then Captain Ma ordered: "Aim all cannons at that ship and sink it for me!"
The entire fleet aimed their cannons at the Titan Battleship.
(Although Soul Tools only appear in Douluo Dalu 2, it seems there were cannons in the first Douluo Continent, likely similar to those from the Ming Dynasty, firing solid cannonballs.)
Ye Ye also wanted to test the offensive power of the Titan Battleship, so he activated its protective shield. If they really attacked, the shield could block everything; even a level 99 Limit Douluo couldn't break the Titan Battleship's shield in a single strike.
In an instant, both sides were at daggers drawn, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
