"Get in my bowl!"
"Little Gold, now! Target its compound eyes and core tumor!"
Capybara gave the order.
"Roar!"
The Golden Horned Beast seized its chance and pounced again!
It stopped firing long-range energy blades and closed in for direct combat.
It used its even mightier body, sharp claws and fangs, and its indestructible horn.
It launched a furious barrage of close-range bites and charges at the exposed weak points of the Octopus Beast Emperor!
"Squelch!"
A horn plunged viciously into one of its enormous compound eyes, splattering dark green fluid everywhere!
"Crack!"
Its claws tore open the folds on the tumor's surface and ripped away a huge chunk of rancid flesh!
"Boom!"
The heavy impact sent the Octopus Beast Emperor's entire body shuddering violently!
"Argh! Argh!"
The Octopus Beast Emperor let out an unbearably shrill scream.
Its remaining tentacles thrashed and wrapped around the Golden Horned Beast, trying to squeeze it to death or force it back.
But the Golden Horned Beast's energy field and sturdy scales made most of its attacks feel like a tickle.
A few tentacles occasionally broke through its defenses and left shallow wounds, but they quickly healed thanks to the Golden Horned Beast's powerful recovery.
Capybara hovered in the air, maintaining the upper hand with his Black Hole Domain.
At the same time, he relished the sight of his mount's "feeding show," occasionally calling out pointers.
"That's it! Jab the eye on the left, too! That piece underneath looks tender—tear it off!"
Under the gaze of human satellites, the Octopus Beast Emperor, which had once ruled the Indian Ocean and struck terror into all who spoke of it,
was now being "eaten alive" by the Golden Horned Beast on the surface of the sea, utterly helpless to fight back.
At last, after a faint cry filled with despair and unwillingness, so weak it was almost inaudible,
the Octopus Beast Emperor's enormous, tumor-covered body was torn open and hollowed out. Its last few tentacles fell limply to the water.
Another native Earth Beast Emperor had fallen!
It had become "a nutritious meal" for the Golden Horned Beast to recover and grow stronger.
[Congratulations, host. You have successfully devoured two Beast Emperors. Combined with the energy accumulated previously, your realm has advanced to Star Level Three.]
Who could have imagined it?
While eating and drinking, Capybara's strength had already reached an incredible level.
Because he had contracted the Golden Horned Beast,
even though this Starry Sky Behemoth swallowed the food itself, more than half of its energy was shared with him.
Only a small portion stayed with the beast itself.
It was much the same as with the Black Hole before.
However, the Golden Horned Beast's attacks were far more dazzling and entertaining to watch.
Unless they ran into another enemy that was as troublesome and impossible to deal with, the Black Hole probably wouldn't be needed for a while.
Meanwhile, inside the War God Palace, the human powerhouses looked at one another in stunned silence.
Everything they had just seen felt like a dream.
How could this be happening?
The events of the past few days had completely shattered their expectations.
Was this planet, which had once belonged to humanity, truly about to undergo a dramatic change?
But Capybara hadn't made any unreasonable demands.
After eliminating two Beast Emperors,
he had simply set his sights on the Beast Kings and Lord-level monsters.
Did he really intend to wipe out every monster in the world?
It was something generations of humans had wanted to accomplish, yet had never managed.
Who could have imagined it?
Why was this happening?
While the human powerhouses in the War God Palace were still bewildered and numb from one upheaval after another,
and even beginning to ponder such absurd questions as What would Earth be like under Capybara's rule?,
Capybara's actions did not let up for a moment.
To him, ruling the world held no appeal.
Devouring and evolving, collecting powerful "pets," and experiencing the thrill of different powers—that was what he had most wanted since arriving in this world.
As for humanity?
As long as people didn't get in his way and provided his "services" on time,
he didn't mind letting those "two-legged beasts" keep living in their cities.
His next target was the East Sea Azure Dragon King, which lurked in the depths of the East Sea off the coast of Hanxia Nation.
It had repeatedly triggered massive monster waves, giving the Base Cities along the coast of the East Sea no end of trouble.
The East Sea Azure Dragon King was nearly a thousand meters long. Though it was no match for the Golden Horned Beast in size, it was still a giant monster.
Blue-black scales covered its body. It could command raging winds and waves, and spew highly corrosive poisonous water.
It was among the most powerful marine King-level monsters.
That day, the winds howled and the waves surged over the East Sea.
The East Sea Azure Dragon King was leisurely patrolling its territory, basking in the awe of countless marine monsters.
Suddenly, it sensed an utterly terrifying pressure descending from above!
It looked up and saw a dark golden behemoth, like a mountain range of metal,
folding its wings as it dove toward the monster like a meteor!
A tiny, glowing figure seemed to be standing on the behemoth's back.
"Roar?!"
The East Sea Azure Dragon King was both shocked and enraged. It recognized the terrifying being that had recently become the talk of the monster world after devouring two Beast Emperors in a row.
The Golden Horned Beast!
Why had it come here?!
Run! That was the East Sea Azure Dragon King's first thought.
But it was already too late.
The Golden Horned Beast was astonishingly fast. In the blink of an eye, it had closed in.
It didn't even bother to use an energy attack. It simply reached out with a huge claw covered in dark golden scales.
Like an eagle snatching up a chick, it reached for the East Sea Azure Dragon King's long neck!
"Raaaah!"
The East Sea Azure Dragon King, terrified beyond measure, opened its mouth and sprayed out a thick stream of dark green poison.
At the same time, it whipped its massive tail, raising a hundred-meter tsunami in an attempt to block the attacker.
The stream of poison struck Little Gold's energy field like water splashed onto red-hot iron.
It evaporated and vanished in an instant, without leaving even a mark.
The seemingly terrifying tsunami was simply smashed apart by the dreadful pressure of Little Gold's dive!
"Crack!"
A crisp snap of breaking bone rang out.
The Golden Horned Beast's iron-hard claw had already clamped precisely and effortlessly around the East Sea Azure Dragon King's neck.
With a slight squeeze, it snapped the creature's spine!
The East Sea Azure Dragon King's huge body went rigid, the light in its eyes quickly fading.
The whole thing was swift, precise, and ruthless, with no suspense whatsoever. It was almost laughably easy.
Like an adult crushing a slightly oversized loach.
The Golden Horned Beast carried the limp corpse of the East Sea Azure Dragon King back to Capybara.
It bowed its head respectfully, awaiting its master's orders.
Capybara leapt down from Little Gold's back and hovered before the corpse of the East Sea Azure Dragon King, rubbing his chin as he looked it over.
"Hmm, it looks pretty intimidating. Wonder how it tastes."
He reached out a paw. He didn't use the Black Hole; he simply willed it.
He drew on the finer control over energy and matter that he had gained after advancing to Star Level Three.
Before their eyes, the East Sea Azure Dragon King's enormous body rapidly shriveled and withered!
The life essence and energy within it, along with some valuable bones and scales, were forcibly extracted and compressed.
At last, in front of Capybara's paw, they condensed into a...
Dark blue-black stick, shimmering with a concentrated energy—
an "energy bar"?
Or perhaps an oversized, energy-based "spicy stick"?
"Hmm, looks all right."
Capybara held the "East Sea Azure Dragon King Spicy Stick" in his paw and weighed it.
Then he casually popped it into his mouth and began chewing with a crisp "crunch, crunch."
