Chapter 19: Heaven‑defying Aberrant Beast, a walking arsenal of explosive tech, the Three‑Body Fleet scared silly!

【What is an Aberrant Beast?】

【Ultraman Nexus's opponent, just how terrifying is it!】

Dark-gold subtitles, carrying an ominous and eerie aura, slowly floated across the sky-screen.

Just now, the myriad worlds still immersed in the shock and emotion of Nexus guarding myriad lights felt their hearts suddenly tighten.

Yeah, to drive such a great warrior to fight with his lights out—what kind of terrifying being must his opponent be?

Cybertron,

Optimus Prime had just finished expressing respect to Nexus when, seeing this line of text, his massive frame tensed again.

In the ruins of Titan,

Tony Stark stopped repairing his armor and stared intently at the sky-screen.

He wondered what kind of enemy could make a god‑like giant pay such a horrific price.

The sky-screen's image changed.

No cities, no lights—only a patch of terrifying darkness.

A hideous giant beast appeared out of nowhere in the center of the screen.

It had a dark‑red body, its surface covered in hard carapace,

Bared fangs and claws—just looking at it caused a wave of physical discomfort.

Immediately, a line of subtitles appeared beside the giant beast.

【Aberrant Beast, a giant beast theoretically impossible to kill!】

This line of text was like a thunderbolt, exploding in the cognition of all civilizations!

Cybertron, Autobot Base.

Optimus Prime's electronic voice first carried obvious astonishment.

"What does the sky‑screen mean? Unkillable? How could a truly unkillable creature exist in this universe?"

Titan,

Tony Stark's brain raced, retrieving all the knowledge he possessed.

From Earth mythology to alien species, none dared bear the title "undead".

He furrowed his brows.

"This Aberrant Beast… is it really that terrifying? Is it indestructible at the material level, or endless regeneration at the energy level?"

On the Xuanwu Ship.

Xuan Yizi gazed at the giant beast, his eyes deep. "Undead? Indeed, it is a creature that defies common sense."

He slowly said: "However, in the Super Beast World, the strong can also enter a hundred‑thousand‑year eternal cycle; in a sense, that too is a kind of immortality."

Divine Realm.

Tang Shan saw this line of subtitles, first stunned, then let out a scornful laugh full of contempt.

"Hah! Unkillable? I think it's just the fox's tricks exhausted, making up excuses for that waste's defeat!"

He flicked his sleeve, sat back upon the divine throne, and, turning to the trembling pink rabbit beside him, spoke in a manner as if pointing out the lands.

"What a mere century soul‑beast‑level creature—this God King could flick it away with a finger! To dare call itself immortal? Utterly absurd!"

The pink rabbit hurriedly flattered: "Of course! Brother Shan, you are a dual‑god‑position God King! What M78 Nebula? At a glance it's a low‑rank plane—how could it compare to our Divine Realm?"

Tang Shan listened to this flattery, his arrogance growing thicker, and he laughed complacently.

"Exactly! It was this God King's lapse—what's the point of competing with a bunch of lowly creatures?"

He glanced at the sky‑screen and declared: "In their eyes an unbeatable Aberrant Beast, before this God King, is nothing more than an ant that can be crushed with a fingertip."

Three‑Body Fleet Command Center.

A deathly silence.

This time, not even the Chief's thought—nor any Three‑Body Person's—sent out a ripple.

After repeated shocks and face‑slaps, they had grown accustomed to any super‑model phenomenon displayed by the M78 Nebula.

Therefore, upon hearing this inconceivable conclusion once more, they unanimously chose silence.

Keep watching.

The sky‑screen's image flowed again.

【Aberrant Beast Ancestor, TheOne.】

In the image, a smaller but more sinister‑aura Aberrant Beast appeared.

It crawled swiftly through the dark sewer, then devoured a gecko.

The next second, something strange happened!

On its back grew suckers just like a gecko's, granting it the ability to climb walls vertically.

At the same time, a flexible tail sprouted from the tip of its spine!

Immediately, the image shifted—this primordial Aberrant Beast attacked a human!

After devouring that human completely,

its formerly prone body slowly rose to stand, gaining the ability to walk upright!

The image shifted again—it devoured a giant salamander.

This time,

its size instantly ballooned to over ten meters tall, its whole body coated in slimy skin.

The toxin shells fired by humans struck it, yet caused no damage!

Immune!

A new line of subtitles appeared before the eyes of all civilizations.

【Exotic life beasts can evolve without limit through constant absorption and devouring; this is their innate talent.】

Sai Bo Tan Xing.

Qing Tian Zhu's body emitted a low hum, and he was completely stunned by this method of evolution.

"By devouring to seize the opponent's biological traits and thereby self‑optimize……this giant, Nexus, is he actually fighting a monster that can evolve without limit?"

Beside him, Bumblebee let out a hurried, fearful electronic tone.

"This……this is too terrifying! If it were allowed to devour a Transformer, then it wouldn't……"

Bumblebee dared not think further.

Inside the Black Tortoise Ship.

Huo Lin Fei activated his self‑considered clever brain and raised a question.

"That's not right! Since it can evolve so much, why not just step on it when it's still a tiny speck? Why give it a chance to evolve?"

Divine Realm.

Tang Shan saw this scene, and the contempt on his face grew stronger.

"Pfft, I thought it was some amazing ability, but it's just devouring evolution—does that make it immortal?"

He spoke in the manner of an elder, boasting: "My God King's former external soul‑bone Nine‑Headed Spider Spear has the ability 'wildfire cannot burn it all away, spring wind blows and it grows again'; as long as a trace remains, it can recover infinitely!"

"That beast's devouring evolution, compared to the God King's divine skill, is merely a trifle!"

He relaxed completely, thinking the exotic life beast's ability was nothing special.

However, at the command center of the Three‑Body Fleet, the atmosphere had grown extremely solemn.

Designation 3056, the chief scientist of the Three‑Body Academy, his thought wave covered the entire fleet.

"This kind of exotic life beast……is extremely terrifying!"

In the fleet, an officer's thought wave conveyed a sense of dismissiveness.

"What's so scary about it? This evolutionary trait is merely like the natural selection we know—'survival of the fittest, use it or lose it' on primitive planets—just faster."

3056's thought wave shuddered violently, rejecting his view.

"No! This is not simple evolution, nor is it 'use it or lose it'!"

"Such an ability, if described in terms our Three‑Body civilization can understand……

"that is, this exotic life beast's every cell keeps it perpetually in the period of a 'technological explosion'!"

"Each of its growths is an exponential, continuous increase!"

Upon these words!

The entire Three‑Body Fleet, thousands of massive warships,

at this moment,

it seemed as if an invisible force had seized their throats!

All Three‑Body people's thoughts froze!

Technological explosion?!

What a joke!

That is a civilization developing into its golden age,

only after hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation could it possibly, by a fortunate coincidence, erupt in a sudden, fleeting surge!

The Three‑Body civilization, in order to undergo a technological explosion, has paid the effort and sacrifice of how many generations!

But now, the heavenly curtain tells them that a living organism, a single individual, itself is forever in the state of a technological explosion?!

This……this is no longer a living being!

This is a moving, living, constantly self‑iterating and upgrading super‑civilization!

The Leader's hitherto motionless thought‑body, at this moment, also produced violent undulations due to the extreme shock.

He could not help but admit that the terror of this giant known as the exotic life beast far exceeded his imagination.
