History
Arrival and growth
A mysterious black-robed elder dispatched the beast’s patterned black egg to Earth as a greater trial after observing the planet’s rapidly increasing number of powerful beings. The egg fell into the Pacific Ocean ahead of schedule, where its shell proved completely unharmed by a powerful fish-type monster’s bite. 59
The beast hatched three thousand meters beneath the Pacific, displaying intelligence immediately. Rather than leaving at once, it swallowed every fragment of its eggshell and ascended directly to Stellar Level Rank Nine. Guided by a faint instinct to develop before attacking land, it began feeding on powerful undersea creatures. 59
It consumed the Pacific’s monster population until reaching the peak of the Stellar Level, then entered the Arctic Ocean and devoured a Frost Dragon. This caused its breakthrough to the Cosmic Level. 64 After later emptying the Atlantic Ocean, its hunger drove it to abandon its plan of consuming all marine life and target India Base instead. 67
War against humanity
The Golden Horned Beast destroyed India Base despite laser-cannon fire, fighter missiles, and evacuation attempts. Its scales suffered only shallow marks from the weapons, while its tail destroyed fighters and its appetite extended to people, animals, metal, and concrete. 68
Following the assault on India, it subdued monsters across Southeast Asia and formed an unprecedented monster army. It expanded its territory by destroying human defenses through raw force, magnetic-field control, and energy-wave manipulation, then turned its attention toward Huaxia. 73
At Jiangnan Base, it led a beast tide and breached the city walls after Hong, Thunder God, and the base’s laser batteries failed to harm it meaningfully. Liu Yun intervened aboard Excalibur Brave, becoming the first combatant to visibly damage its scales. 76 77
Capture and containment
Liu Yun lured the beast into space to prevent further devastation on Earth. Although Excalibur Brave was outclassed by the Golden Horned Beast’s third-stage Universe-Level strength, the Machine Race Clone’s hidden Virtual Materialization ability produced a virtual warship that subdued the beast with sustained high-energy fire and energy restraints. 77 81
The Golden Horned Beast was returned to Earth barely alive and bound by an energy beam. Liu Yun later ordered intelligent robots to analyze its genetic sequence and chose to obtain the origin of its power rather than possess its body. 80 96
Appearance
The Golden Horned Beast is an enormous, dragon-like creature whose scale-covered body has a metallic luster and radiates immense pressure. Its size dwarfs aerial monsters such as Pterosaurs, while its physical presence is compared to a moving mountain. 59 68 76
- Metallic scales that shine with a golden or dazzling radiance 59 68
- Star-like eyes that convey intelligence, hunger, and cruelty 59 64 76
- Massive jaws lined with saw-like teeth capable of tearing through monster flesh, steel, and buildings 64 68
- A blade-like tail capable of destroying fighter jets 68
- A body durable enough to fight in a white dwarf’s extreme gravity and clash with interstellar warships 64
Personality
The beast is driven primarily by an insatiable hunger. Even after consuming entire oceans of monsters and annihilating India Base, it remains unsatisfied and continues seeking more prey. 64 67 68
Despite its simple fixation on feeding, it is intelligent and capable of restraint. After hatching, it delayed its landward rampage to grow steadily in the deep sea; later, it deliberately established dominance over other monsters and sought to expand its territory. 59 73
It regards humanity with open contempt, treating human resistance as entertainment and humans themselves as inferior prey. 68 76
Abilities & Skills
Devouring and Evolution
The Golden Horned Beast rapidly grows by consuming biological matter and can assimilate unusually powerful prey.
- Consumed its eggshell to leap directly to Stellar Level Rank Nine 59
- Emptied the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans of monsters to fuel its growth 64 67
- Devoured a Frost Dragon to break through from Stellar to Cosmic Level 64
- Consumed humans, animals, metal, and concrete while destroying India Base 68
- Its hunger persists even after massive consumption, continually driving it toward further destruction 64 68
Cosmic Domain
Upon reaching the Cosmic Level, the beast gained a personal domain and the ability to resonate with cosmic space. 64
- Integrates genetic energy, physical strength, spiritual power, and consciousness into a single force 64
- Can burn its soul during life-or-death circumstances to unite its soul, energy, strength, and will 64
- Its breath-generated shockwaves can kill Planetary-Level lifeforms 64
- Can search the souls of Planetary-Level beings 64
Physical Power and Durability
Its body possesses extreme offensive and defensive power beyond Earth’s conventional military capabilities. 64 68
- Laser cannons and missile barrages leave only shallow marks on its scales 68 76
- Its claws can crush fortified city walls and destroy buildings 68 76
- Its tail can sweep fighter aircraft out of the sky 68
- Its jaws and teeth can tear through the Frost Dragon’s armor-like scales and consume steel-reinforced structures 64 68
- Excalibur Brave’s high-speed attack was capable of cutting away dozens of its scales, proving it could be injured by sufficiently powerful weapons 77
Magnetic and Energy Manipulation
The beast can control magnetic fields and energy waves, making human defensive installations especially vulnerable. 73
- Fires a powerful golden energy beam from its mouth 77
- Uses magnetic and energy control to demolish bases and fortresses 73
- Its energy attacks can threaten Universe-Level warships 77
Monster Dominion
Other monsters submit to the Golden Horned Beast’s overwhelming presence and act under its command. 73
- Forest and ocean monsters tremble and surrender before it 73
- Commanded a monster army that swept through Southeast Asia 73
- Led Pterosaurs, metallic tigers, and burrowing beasts in the siege of Jiangnan Base 76
Relationships
- Mysterious black-robed elder — Sent the Golden Horned Beast’s egg to Earth early as a harsher trial for the planet. 59
- Frost Dragon — Arctic prey whose consumption triggered the beast’s Cosmic-Level breakthrough. 64
- Monster armies — Surrendered beasts that served under its command during the Southeast Asian and Jiangnan campaigns. 73 76
- Humanity — Views humans as prey and “insects”; destroyed India Base and attempted to eradicate Huaxia. 68 76
- Hong and Thunder God — Earth’s strongest defenders, but unable to meaningfully injure the beast during the Jiangnan siege. 76
- Liu Yun — Principal opponent and eventual captor; Liu Yun lured it into space, subdued it through a virtual warship, and later analyzed its genetic sequence. 77 81 96

Trivia
- The beast’s egg was sent to Earth because the planet’s unexpectedly rapid growth in powerful individuals attracted outside attention. 59
- Liu Yun identifies it as a creature capable of becoming a Realm Lord upon adulthood. 69
- The Machine Race Base’s intelligent robots register its genetic sequence and state that cloning it would require resources equivalent to three World Master-level robots. 96
