As the gravity of the Destruction Emperor Wave converged, the immense suction generated by the Dark Cavern instantly surged several thousand times over.
In the blink of an eye, the rear half of Legendary Keizer Ghidorah was twisted by the cavern's gravity and forcibly dragged inward.
"Roar~~~~~~~!"
Legendary Keizer Ghidorah let out a furious roar, its massive dragon wings beating violently as it struggled to pull itself free from the Dark Cavern.
However, in just a few short seconds, its lower body was already torn and bloodied.
Even its bones were twisted and deformed. Golden blood dripped down, the sight almost too gruesome to look at.
"Battle… exhilarating."
Xiao stood quietly with his eyes closed, fully focusing on the surging, boundless power within his body.
Endless Destruction Emperor Waves poured out from his Golden Core furnace. Yet this terrifying energy—capable of crushing a planet—did not harm Xiao in the slightest.
On the contrary, under the wondrous effects of the Heart Furnace, the Destruction Emperor Waves began transforming his body in a strange and miraculous way.
They permeated every cell from the inside out, continuously reshaping his flesh and driving him through repeated metamorphoses.
His body began to change.
His original human outline gradually blurred, and faint, majestic golden scales began appearing across his skin.
Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. Dazzling golden lightning crackled around him, and a wild glint of amusement briefly flashed across his face before fading.
The power of Legendary Keizer Ghidorah was immense.
So immense that Xiao's spirit entered an extremely excited state.
An uncontrollable urge rose within him—
A desire to destroy everything.
To trample the entire world beneath his feet.
The impulse was so intense it felt like the sole purpose of existence.
The title "Destruction Emperor" truly lived up to its name.
This unparalleled force could influence emotion itself.
Even someone like Xiao, who possessed powerful psychic abilities, found it difficult to resist at first—let alone a reptilian species like Ghidorah.
It was not hard to imagine that the Ghidorah race's extreme destructiveness and cruelty stemmed from this violent power.
Fortunately, the destructive impulse was quickly suppressed by Xiao's psychic control.
In Xiao's view, Professor G was actually more proficient in mental defense and manipulation than Professor X.
Professor G had no restraints. He treated mortals like experimental subjects, constantly manipulating minds. The more a power is used, the more refined it becomes.
Professor X, by contrast, had spent most of his life restraining himself. The number of times he used his ability in his entire lifetime might not equal the number of times Professor G used his in thirty years.
Through directly experiencing the Destruction Emperor Wave, Xiao began to grasp the underlying essence of the Monster Universe.
Perhaps Titans and the "Alt" race chosen by light shared a fundamental similarity.
They were races chosen by a greater power.
In Godzilla's original setting, nuclear contamination caused its internal organs to mutate, forming a unique atomic furnace.
It was through that mutated furnace that Godzilla gained endless growth and evolutionary potential, eventually becoming the colossal being it is known as.
Similarly, the Ghidorah race clearly gained favor from the Gravity Ray, using its immense energy to gradually evolve into their current form.
The Gravity Ray is the core of the Ghidorah race—the source of their power.
In other words, within the Monster Universe, the birth of Titans and the emergence of the light-chosen Alt race follow a similar principle.
Their strength is not purely due to racial uniqueness.
They were chosen by power.
And through that selection, they evolved into what they are.
In theory, any creature that possessed a Gravity Furnace could potentially become a new generation of Ghidorah and evolve endlessly.
To put it bluntly—
If the Gravity Ray or atomic energy had chosen a dog or a cat instead,
We might have Dogzillas or Ghidorah-cats.
Of course, reality is not that simple.
Power and its vessel are complementary and mutually reinforcing.
The stronger the vessel, the more the contained power can evolve.
Ordinary creatures might reach the ceiling of their race upon attaining Ghidorah-level strength.
But for Ghidorah—
Its lower limit is the upper limit of other species.
The Gravity Ray alone does not possess Ghidorah's devouring nature or its terrifying evolutionary potential.
It was the Ghidorah race that further evolved and refined the Gravity Ray into the more powerful and controllable Destruction Emperor Wave.
That was their own creation.
Because of this, the Gravity Ray became inseparable from Ghidorah.
Any creature that wields it will gradually transform into one.
Even Xiao could feel it.
As the Destruction Emperor Wave continuously washed over his body, he was slowly undergoing a Ghidorah-like transformation.
Yet he remained calm.
He carefully recorded every detail of the transformation process.
After all, Xiao had long ceased to be human.
His essence was closer to that of a Dimensional Demon God.
His soul and will were already integrated with the Cyber Dimension.
The Cyber Dimension records everything about him.
Even if his physical body were destroyed, as long as the Cyber Dimension remained intact, he could reconstruct a new body anytime, anywhere.
Thus, even if the Destruction Emperor Wave transformed him into a Ghidorah, he could revert at will.
The modification was not permanent.
More importantly, this process allowed him to record complete transformation data.
It could serve as the foundation for developing the Eight Nine Arcane Art he envisioned.
And the most crucial point—
Legendary Keizer Ghidorah's Heart Furnace did more than convert energy into Destruction Emperor Waves.
The Gravity Furnace perfectly solved a long-standing issue—
Xiao's Golden Core energy storage limit.
Ever since acquiring the Sun Sails, energy supply had never been his problem.
Now, the true bottleneck limiting his growth—
Was storage capacity.
