"Black Hole Domain, full power!"

"Vmmmm—!!!"

Just as Capybara was about to charge into the sea of lightning surrounding the Thunder Dragon Emperor—a range powerful enough to vaporize a War God Level warrior in an instant—

A pitch-black vortex, over fifty meters in diameter, as if capable of devouring even light and souls, suddenly unfolded behind him without warning and rapidly expanded!

This time, the black hole's devouring power was pushed to its absolute limit!

Its target was the massive head and neck of the Thunder Dragon Emperor, which had just burst out of the water and hadn't yet had time to unleash its full power!

For the first time, the Thunder Dragon Emperor's scarlet eyes reflected that bizarre, pitch-black vortex.

A fatal sense of danger unlike anything it had ever felt, born from the instinct to survive, washed over it like ice water poured over its head, instantly drowning out its fury!

"Roar!"

"Argh!"

The Thunder Dragon Emperor's scarlet eyes, which had been blazing with destructive rage, shrank to pinpoints the instant the black hole appeared!

A primal fear, rooted deep in its bloodline and directed at the universe's most terrifying celestial bodies, made its enormous body stiffen for a moment!

This wasn't the lightning it knew, nor was it mere, violent force.

It was something far more fundamental and domineering... a law of annihilation and devouring!

Flee!

It had to escape back into the deep sea!

Back to the domain where its power was strongest!

The thought flashed through the Thunder Dragon Emperor's mind like lightning.

Its enormous body erupted with astonishing force as it abruptly turned around.

Its mountain-thick tail thrashed wildly through the water, raising towering waves as it tried to plunge back into the shadowy depths that had always made it feel safe!

But it was already too late!

The black hole, over fifty meters across and still expanding slightly as Capybara poured all his strength into it,

had released a devouring field like an invisible shackle.

It had locked onto the Thunder Dragon Emperor's head and neck—the parts that had just emerged from the water and were radiating the most energy!

"Roar—!!!"

The Thunder Dragon Emperor let out a roar filled with pain, fury, and a hint of fear!

It felt an irresistible, terrifying force tearing at the scales and flesh around its neck!

Those dark teal scales, tough enough to withstand the blast at the center of a nuclear explosion,

were crumbling and peeling away one by one like weathered stone under the black hole's force!

The flesh beneath them, tougher than steel, was forcibly ripped from its body as well.

It became streams of scarlet gore, drawn uncontrollably toward the pitch-black vortex!

[ Ding! Devoured the Thunder Dragon Emperor's living tissue (rich in lightning energy). Energy +10000! ]

[ Ding! Your black hole has expanded to 55 meters in diameter. ]

[ Ding! Your black hole has expanded to 60 meters in diameter. ]

[ Ding! ... ]

A string of rapid system notifications rang out in Ye Xiu's mind, but he had no time to pay attention to them.

The Thunder Dragon Emperor struggled desperately, unleashing a terrifying storm of lightning unlike anything it had produced before.

It tried to blast apart the bizarre restraints with its lightning, even attempting to destroy the black hole itself.

But the violent lightning it unleashed vanished into the black hole's field the instant it touched it, like mud sinking into the sea.

Not only did it fail to cause any damage, it was effortlessly broken down and devoured, becoming fuel for the black hole!

"Zzzzz—!!!"

The ear-grating sounds of tearing and energy annihilation mingled together.

Under the gaze of countless satellite feeds and remote observation devices,

the Thunder Dragon Emperor, a mythical beast of colossal proportions, was experiencing something bizarre and horrific.

Its massive body seemed to have become a "giant strand of noodles," grabbed at both ends by invisible hands and violently stretched!

Starting at the neck, its body was forcibly elongated and twisted by the black hole's overwhelming gravity!

Its sturdy dragon bones groaned under the strain, shifting out of place and bending one section at a time!

As its body stretched, its flesh and organs were crushed and torn apart, mixing with blue lightning and scarlet blood.

The resulting stream of twisted, gruesome matter flowed ceaselessly into the black hole, which seemed to know no satiety!

"Argh... ooh..."

The Thunder Dragon Emperor's roars grew fainter and fainter, filled with despair and unwillingness.

Its terrifying body, which had once churned the seas and struck fear into humanity,

was being devoured and annihilated inch by inch, in a way that defied the laws of physics!

From its neck to its chest, then its long torso... the process seemed slow, but it all happened in a flash!

At last, with a low whimper that was almost inaudible, the Thunder Dragon Emperor's huge, fearsome head,

along with the last half of its battered body, was dragged completely into the pitch-black hole, now nearly sixty meters across.

It vanished without a trace.

All that remained on the surface of the sea was a vast vortex that had yet to settle,

along with the lingering smell of scorching flesh and a faint trace of blood in the air.

The Thunder Dragon Emperor, which had ruled the Pacific for countless years and brought humanity endless nightmares...

had fallen!

A capybara had used a black hole to "slurp" it up like a strand of noodles.

Around the world, everyone who had watched the scene unfold live—whether they were lofty lawmakers or ordinary soldiers on the front lines—

fell into absolute silence.

Only the image of the vortex, still lingering on their screens,

and the unforgettable vision in their minds of the colossal beast stretched out and swallowed up silently bore witness to what had just happened.

Capybara hovered in midair as the black hole behind him slowly contracted and disappeared.

He felt the vast, pure energy surging through his body like an erupting volcano.

With satisfaction, he patted his round belly.

"Not bad. Just makes your mouth a little numb."

He smacked his lips and gave his verdict.

Then he turned to look at the other two spacecraft in the sky and easily sent them a telepathic message.

"Who's next? The Octopus Beast Emperor or the East Sea Azure Dragon King? You pick."

Just then!

A red alert labeled [Highest Emergency · America's Coastline Under Attack] forced its way into the War God Palace communications system at the highest priority, and was simultaneously relayed to the main spacecraft carrying Capybara.

The alert included a brief but horrifying live feed:

The East Coast of America, near the famous NY Port, was already a scene of utter devastation.

Smoke billowed and flames soared as the human defenses crumbled before an unprecedented and terrifying force.

The culprit behind it all hovered above the port.

It bore no resemblance to any known monster on Earth!

It was over a hundred meters long, its entire body covered in dark golden scales etched with mysterious patterns.

It looked neither like a beast nor a dragon, and radiated an aura that was ancient, cold, and haughty.

Most striking of all was the dark golden horn on its head, which seemed capable of piercing the firmament,

and the pair of folded metal wings on its back, likewise covered in mysterious patterns.

In the footage, it merely opened its massive jaws at its leisure, unleashing an invisible devouring force.

The famous Statue of Liberty, together with the foundation of the island it stood on, vanished in an instant as if erased from a pencil drawing.

The statue and island were devoured as a stream of the most fundamental matter!

Next, several cargo ships near the port and the defenses of a military base were "eaten" one after another!

Human fighter jets, missiles, and laser weapons struck its body,

but couldn't even damage the edges of its dark golden scales. Instead, the mysterious patterns flowing across its body effortlessly neutralized and absorbed the attacks!

"It's the Golden Horned Beast!"
