Seeing Gepard, Argenti's eyes lit up.
Besides Godzilla, the biggest surprise Argenti encountered on Jarilo was indeed Gepard—
Because he acknowledged that the lady Idrila, Goddess of Beauty, possessed unmatched beauty!
While everyone was complimenting each other, the still-sleeping Godzilla's tail slightly lifted and gently swayed.
His eyelids lifted slightly, and Godzilla looked toward the sky.
His powerful instincts told him—
Someone had brought him takeout.
--------------------------------------------
"Mr. Argenti, are you really not staying a while longer?" Yanqing looked at Argenti reluctantly.
Parting after just one sparring match left Yanqing feeling unwilling.
"Parting is only for a more beautiful reunion, and to spread pure beauty across all worlds is my duty as a Knight of Pure Beauty. Mr. Yanqing, may our futures meet again under the brilliance of pure beauty."
Argenti said with a gentle smile.
Moments later, a massive bright light flashed across the sky.
...
Any part of the universe often hides awe-inspiring creations.
Like this strange giant beast that resembles an octopus.
It possesses a powerful body, tentacles large enough to cover a planet, and terrifying fangs.
If an Xianzhou ship were to pass by here, they would immediately realize this creature does not belong to nature.
A creation of abundance.
"Click-clack, click-clack."
This was the sound of its tentacles pressing against each other. On close inspection, one would notice the tentacles were covered with sharp bone spurs.
This was a rare star-devouring beast in the universe, a creation blessed by Abundance, now tainted with the power of Joy.
Influenced by an Aeon who prefers not to reveal their form, it was currently advancing toward its prey.
At the same time, Argenti, who had just finished carving the outer hull of the ship, departed from Jarilo-VI after bidding farewell to everyone.
His traces were already untraceable—if one were to look for them, they could only follow the light of pure beauty.
Since Argenti arrived due to an accident, it was only fitting he returned through an unexpected end.
As for Velite, he was more inclined to let the IPC people take him back.
After all, he'd still be working overtime once he got back.
"Hmm?! What's that!"
Not long after departing, Argenti suddenly noticed a red dot on the monitoring system.
Zooming in, he saw a massive beast!
So huge that even on the screen, it struck fear in the heart. Its direction was unmistakably heading for the just-departed Jarilo-VI!
"Jarilo-VI is in danger!"
Argenti realized, eyes narrowing, and immediately piloted the ship toward the beast.
At the same time, he drafted a warning message to alert those on Jarilo.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Argenti was feeling anxious, a beam of purple light shot out from Jarilo, instantly slicing the giant beast into eight pieces with unstoppable force.
But that kind of attack was not enough to kill a creation of abundance—it was still regenerating at a visible pace.
However, the purple beam gave it no breathing room. The cuts continued—eight pieces became sixteen, then thirty-two. In the end, even Argenti couldn't count how many pieces it had been chopped into.
What he could see was those chunks floating across the universe like an asteroid belt.
Each piece bore signs of high-temperature burns, halting their regeneration. If it were only burns, this would be a mere scratch to a creature of abundance, far less than the damage from its own casual movements.
But the attack gave it no chance to recover.
Shortly after the purple beam faded, several Xianzhou ships arrived, expertly collecting the meat chunks with practiced efficiency, leaving not a scrap behind.
"Beep beep."
A sharp beeping sound snapped Argenti out of his daze. Looking down, he saw a connection request flashing on the comm system.
"Mr. Argenti, this giant creature has been suppressed by the beast Lord of Jarilo. We must return to report. Wishing you a pleasant journey."
Staring at the ended transmission, Argenti fell silent for a moment, then smiled faintly.
The journey to pursue pure beauty is always full of awe-inspiring wonders.
Jarilo, what a beautiful star.
After everyone left and the universe once again returned to peace, a familiar figure reappeared, looking at the place where the giant octopus had been dismantled and carried off, emitting broken, glitchy noises.
"Aha's big octopus is gone, Aha has lost face."
"Godzilla's tail glows, Godzilla is such fun."
Then came another round of laughter.
...
"Chomp chomp chomp, chomp chomp chomp."
The still-wriggling, powerful tentacles were devoured piece by piece by Godzilla, enjoying long-awaited death within the operation of the atomic furnace.
Death was surely a novel experience for a creature of abundance.
Especially for this star-devouring beast blessed by abundance.
Surely, the reunion of those meat chunks in his stomach was a magnificent scene.
"Pity Mr. Welt isn't here, or I could've asked what Godzilla's move just now was called."
Yukong looked up at Godzilla, who was gulping down the abundance creature chunk by chunk, a flash of delight in her eyes.
As the steady helmswoman of the Sky-Faring Commission, her temper had mellowed, but it was well known that the Hunt and Abundance never got along—their followers frequently clashed.
And as a legendary pilot, Yukong had always held radical views on this matter.
"Hehe, Beast Lord, you just tell me—is it a limited-edition exclusive or not?"
Serval climbed onto Godzilla's shoulder, rubbing Godzilla's oversized face affectionately.
After seeing that beam shot from Godzilla's tail, Serval suddenly felt her new weapon was no longer satisfying.
She clung to him, pestering him to reveal how he did it.
"Chomp chomp chomp."
"No way! This—this can't be neglected!"
"Chomp chomp chomp."
"Aww, just tell me!"
As Godzilla chewed on the giant octopus, his interest in creations of abundance only continued to grow.
Ordinary blessings of abundance, such as beings like the Xianzhou people, were not worth mentioning in his eyes.
Just like the Antimatter Legion, no matter how many ordinary Voidrangers there were, they could not catch his attention. Only creations like the Doomsday Beast, which contained immense energy, could make him take them seriously and speak of them.
And this giant octopus was an existence similar to the Doomsday Beast at that time.
However, unlike the Doomsday Beast, the creations of abundance were filled with the divine miracles of abundance all over, unlike the Doomsday Beast which was created by the Antimatter Legion.
That night, the moonlight gently spilled down, carefully descending through the gaps between the leaves, finally landing in small amounts scattered across Godzilla's broad back, looking dreamlike with dots of light.
"Mm~."
The night air was cool and pleasant.
Tingyun, waking up groggily, slowly walked outside and stretched under the bright moon in the sky, her furry ears twitching and her tail slightly puffed up.
Staring at the puffed-up part, her mouth curved slightly.
She stepped lightly and sat in the pavilion, took out a small comb, and skillfully began combing her tail.
The "pavilion" was actually a tree that had grown with considerable spiritual presence.
Its broad leaves completely blocked the light, and combined with the countless leaves forming an umbrella canopy above, and the lower part bending almost ninety degrees at three feet off the ground — this was a purely natural pavilion.
Tingyun and Yukong were both quite fond of this pavilion.
Though the foxian's liked the Xianzhou's atmosphere, areas closer to nature were just as much their preference.
"Mm, perfect."
She gently blew on her freshly combed tail, and the slight tickling sensation gave Tingyun a subtle feeling.
The chirping of insects accompanied the moonlight, and also...
"Snore~ snore snore."
Tingyun turned slightly, looking with a smile in her eyes at the source of the sound.
The rising and falling of the body might seem slight on another lifeform, but on this one, it was clearly a tidal wave.
Under the moonlight, it looked like a black mountain undulating.
"Sigh, if only I hadn't met you first."
With light steps, Tingyun gracefully walked over to Godzilla's side, reaching out to stroke his thick, rough, and slightly cold skin.
