Seeing that I was clearly a monster fish that had come to commit suicide, Godzilla's eyes turned red, and the LED lights on its dorsal fin lit up wildly.

Then it lunged forward and darted away in the opposite direction from the strange fish.

But before it could swim very far, another group of strange fish rushed towards it, and Godzilla quickly turned around.

In this way, the strange fish formed a fan-shaped encirclement, constantly driving Godzilla away.

The monster fish was fast, but Godzilla's propulsion system was no less impressive. The two chased each other, and as the water level rose, they soon approached the shallow sea area.

Godzilla had a sudden inspiration: these monstrous fish certainly couldn't come ashore; if it just ran to the land, wouldn't it be able to escape them?

Although it still doesn't understand where these strange fish came from or why they seem to have a deep-seated hatred for it.

But that doesn't stop it from understanding the principle of "a wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him" at this moment.

Godzilla climbed ashore faster than ever before, and the monster fish could no longer pursue it. It turned around and unleashed two Thermonuclear Breath, venting its frustration from earlier.

Suddenly, alarm bells rang in Godzilla's mind, and he instinctively felt that he was in a life-threatening danger, a feeling even stronger than when he encountered the strange fish earlier.

It quickly scanned its surroundings to check for the source of the danger.

In the void, strange creatures slowly emerged, their appearance reminding Godzilla of its toys, those octopuses with many long tentacles.

Every time it goes to the shallows, it always finds these creatures to play with for a while, tearing them apart. Watching them comically use their tentacles to support their bodies as they run ashore and flee in panic brings it joy.

But why are these things so big? Much bigger than it. And when did they learn to fly? That's a skill even it doesn't have.

Blue Electric Arc flashed across the flying creatures, either on their backs or on a long, cylindrical tube beneath their bellies, with segments of blue light rapidly lighting up and fading away.

Although it was beautiful, with a color similar to its dorsal fin, Godzilla's sense of crisis grew stronger.

Before it could come up with a strategy, something flashed past the flying creature's tube on the other side.

Immediately afterwards, it lost consciousness.

Godzilla, struck directly by dozens of Electromagnetic Cannons, froze, its heavy body stiffening, but it did not fall. However, its head had been blown into a bloody mess.

These dozens of Mature Form that carried out the firing mission were carefully selected by Rowan from the Proxima Star System. They are all about 200 meters long, and the Electromagnetic Cannon cannons on their bodies are all over 100 meters long.

Being directly hit by so many giant cannons, even with Godzilla's high defense, it could only helplessly meet its end. When Godzilla was driven to the shore by the monster fish, the outcome of the battle was already decided.

A transport Larval Form flew onto Godzilla's headless corpse, its body tissues separated, and a half-meter-long beetle crawled out from its body—this was Rowan's true form.

Godzilla is a rare and extremely precious ingredient, and must be treated with utmost care. Such a high-end ingredient requires no cooking whatsoever and can be eaten directly.

Rowan, who couldn't wait any longer, crawled directly into Godzilla's wound. To ensure he absorbed all of Godzilla's gene fragments, he needed to eat as much as possible.

Godzilla is a treasure trove, packed with cutting-edge technology. After consuming some flesh and blood, Rowan slept for several days, only to acquire genes related to body tissue materials and skeletal structure.

Although these genes are also very powerful, Godzilla's strong defense, which supports its enormous size, is inseparable from these genes.

But these are not what Rowan urgently needs. Rowan also has ways to achieve similar effects through other gene combinations that the Swarm already has.

Rowan was utterly shocked; this was the first time he'd encountered such a situation. No wonder Efiash's abilities had malfunctioned? Or could she only absorb gene fragments from ordinary creatures? Or had she simply not eaten enough?

However, the genes of Atmospheric Creature, which were also technologically advanced, did not present this problem.

After more than half a month of eating and researching, Rowan began to doubt whether Godzilla was even a living being. Suddenly, a new gene fragment was successfully obtained.

Rowan quickly checked and found that it was the gene fragment he had been longing for, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He pondered this for a long time and concluded that the gene fragment was too complex, containing technology at the atomic level. Efiash's abilities also required a process of analysis.

Looking at this gene fragment, we find an organ called the Atomic Furnace. In appearance, it looks like a fleshy ball, composed of a special nanomaterial with extremely high heat resistance, capable of withstanding temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees.

In Atomic Furnace, the reactants are continuously heated under electromagnetic influence until they reach a plasma state. Electrons break free from the atomic nuclei, allowing the nuclei to move freely and collide directly.

This collision is firmly constrained to its central position by the magnetic field emanating from the inner wall of the Atomic Furnace. When the atomic nuclei of the reactants collide with each other, they generate enormous energy. This energy is absorbed by the inner wall of the Atomic Furnace and transmitted to the whole body through a unique energy supply system to meet the body's needs.

It's like igniting an artificial sun, which is then encased in a layer of biomaterial, much like a portable Dyson Sphere, providing unimaginable energy.

This is also why Godzilla can remain lively and energetic despite sleeping all year round without eating. If it were to rely on carbohydrates to sustain its tens of thousands of tons of body weight, it would have to consume at least several thousand tons of food every day.

This is impossible.

With the Atomic Furnace, it only needs to replenish some reaction materials every once in a while, which is why it prefers to nest in areas with high radiation.

This gene fragment allowed the Swarm to skip the nuclear fission stage and directly enter the era of controlled nuclear fusion.

This can be described as an epic buff.

Moreover, its offensive capabilities are secondary. Godzilla's Thermonuclear Breath, because it directly spews out energy, has a very short range, which is somewhat inadequate even inside a planet, let alone in outer space.

Therefore, Rowan will not replicate Godzilla as a combat unit for the Swarm. This guy is just a target; not only is he expensive to produce, but his actual combat power is not very high, and his range is short. He can only barely bully early-stage civilizations.

Any civilization that ventures beyond its planet and embarks on interstellar travel has ways to easily eliminate it.

If the Riken Race hadn't only sent one reconnaissance ship, the Swarm wouldn't have had a chance to act. However, it's fortunate that this happened, otherwise the Swarm would have launched a space interception war.

Starting a war rashly when information is unclear is not what Rowan wants to see.
