After that earth-shaking war between races, both sides fell into a temporary silence.
The casualties had been too great.
Even the Ocean Titans, having absorbed the massive amount of Cyber Aura released in battle, calmed down and withdrew back into the deep sea.
For a time—
no large-scale conflict broke out again.
But peace… was only on the surface.
…
…
Human greed had already been awakened.
Once they discovered that the bodies of Ocean Titans contained liquid Cyber Aura—
there was no turning back.
Groups of powerful Cyber Cultivators began forming hunting teams.
They ventured into the Pacific,
tracking Titans,
seeking power.
Some even plunged into the deep sea itself—
actively hunting these colossal beings.
At first, it was done in secret.
But secrets never last.
As several Golden Core Ancestors rose directly from these hunts—
the truth could no longer be hidden.
The world erupted.
…
…
Some opposed it.
They argued that the Ocean Titans were intelligent lifeforms.
That they deserved coexistence—
not extermination.
After all, one side lived on land, the other in the ocean.
There was no fundamental conflict.
Unchecked greed would only lead to another catastrophe.
Hadn't the previous war already proven how terrifying the Titans were?
If their kin discovered the hunts—
war would return.
Worse than before.
…
…
But those voices were drowned out.
By desire.
By ambition.
By fear.
Because others saw it differently.
They believed conflict was inevitable.
Once Cyber Aura was exhausted again—
the Titans would return.
And next time,
they would come for humans.
More importantly—
killing a single Titan could change fate.
The liquid Cyber Aura within their bodies—
was enough to push even an ordinary cultivator to the Golden Core Realm.
Golden Core.
An existence that could dominate a region.
A living ancestor.
A god among men.
Faced with such temptation—
morality became meaningless.
"This isn't greed," they said.
"This is for humanity's future."
…
…
Thus, the hunts intensified.
More joined.
And a new storm quietly gathered.
…
…
The Ocean Titans were not fools.
Half a year later—
thirty-two Titans had fallen to human hunters.
The Sea Dragon Titan—
king of the ocean,
closest to Ghidorah's bloodline—
was enraged.
Fury burned within him.
But he was not reckless.
He had learned.
Humanity's strength did not lie in individuals—
but in coordination.
Machines.
Weapons.
Tactics.
Without understanding this,
a direct assault would only lead to more losses.
So he gave an order:
All Titans were to move in groups.
No one would hunt alone again.
…
…
And yet—
fate intervened.
Or perhaps—
something else.
With Xiao's subtle influence,
the Sea Dragon Titan experienced an extraordinary evolution.
During what should have been nothing more than rest—
he awakened.
A power buried deep within his bloodline—
surfaced.
Golden Skin.
The legacy of Ghidorah.
…
…
Golden arcs of bio-electricity began to flicker across his body.
His flesh transformed.
Refined.
Perfected.
This power—
was the source of Ghidorah's dominance.
It could alter planetary environments.
Create storms.
Destroy matter.
But most terrifying of all—
it could paralyze technology.
An ultimate electromagnetic force.
A super EMP.
…
…
To humanity—
this was catastrophic.
Modern civilization was built on electronics.
Networks.
Machines.
Even Cyber Cultivators themselves—
relied on cybernetic augmentation.
Brain-machine interfaces.
One pulse—
and everything could collapse.
In the cyberpunk era,
EMP weapons had always been forbidden.
Because the consequences were too severe.
Not just machines—
but human minds themselves could be destroyed.
…
…
And now—
that power belonged to the Sea Dragon Titan.
…
…
When he realized what he had gained—
he did not hesitate.
He summoned all Titans.
Through their shared bloodline,
they connected.
Tail to tail.
Body to body.
Forming a living chain.
Energy flowed through them—
layer by layer—
converging at a single point.
At the very front—
the Sea Dragon Titan.
…
…
This was their gamble.
A single strike.
A global EMP.
They would sacrifice their energy—
to cripple humanity.
Destroy all machines.
Erase their technological advantage.
Only then—
could the Titans fight on equal footing.
Only then—
could they survive.
…
…
Deep beneath the ocean,
countless colossal figures rose.
One by one—
they surfaced.
Linking together.
Becoming a living circuit.
An ocean-spanning formation.
Energy surged.
Endless.
Violent.
Uncontrollable.
…
…
At the front—
the Sea Dragon Titan trembled.
Within his body,
power raged like a storm.
Golden lightning erupted across his skin,
spreading like a tidal wave.
Brighter.
Fiercer.
More terrifying with each passing second.
…
…
A power capable of ending civilization—
was about to be unleashed.
