A fully grown Destoroyah even directly killed Burning Godzilla.
One must know that Burning Godzilla was a powerful form capable of instantly killing Legendary Ghidorah with a single move!
This alone was enough to prove that Destoroyah's strength far surpassed Legendary Ghidorah's.
However, these conclusions were originally based only on the old Godzilla plot, and whether they applied to the MonsterVerse remained unknown.
After all, according to the performances of the various Titans in the MonsterVerse, both Godzilla and Ghidorah possessed far greater size and power than their older versions.
However, with Destoroyah's juvenile form truly appearing in the MonsterVerse,
it meant that the old plot and the MonsterVerse shared certain commonalities.
Thus, as Godzilla's nightmare in the old timeline, Destoroyah's immense strength absolutely could not be underestimated.
It could even be inferred that Destoroyah's strength in the MonsterVerse would only be greater and would never be weaker than the old version of Destoroyah.
According to the old settings, Destoroyah possessed six different forms: Micro-Oxygen, Swimming, Juvenile, Aggregate, Flying, and Perfect.
Fortunately, the current Destoroyah was still only in the Swimming Form.
At this stage, Destoroyah appeared exceptionally fragile and tiny, as though a gust of wind could blow it away.
To most people, it would merely appear to be a strange insect.
Even fishermen who occasionally caught its juvenile forms at sea would simply regard them as an interesting discovery before casually throwing them back into the ocean.
However, this perfect timing gave Xiao an excellent opportunity—a chance to devour and become Destoroyah.
Destoroyah possessed astonishing power, especially its ability to absorb genes and rapidly optimize and reorganize its own bloodline, which made Xiao drool.
Other than this ability, Xiao had no interest in Destoroyah's remaining powers.
Abilities such as its massive body, terrifying Oxygen Destroyer Ray, and overwhelming strength,
in Xiao's eyes, were nothing more than flashy but impractical gimmicks.
These abilities might dominate Earth for a while, but in truly high-end competition, everything still came down to Ghidorah.
After all, compared to the godlike Star Eater at the peak of the Ghidorah race, even the strongest Destoroyah could only be considered a local tyrant with some strength, but not much.
Moreover, Destoroyah's power largely came from devouring Godzilla's flesh and blood and obtaining Godzilla's bloodline.
Furthermore, Destoroyah was not invincible. It feared cold, and freezing rays could inflict severe damage upon it.
Once the surrounding temperature dropped below a certain threshold, it would even collapse on its own.
Therefore, Destoroyah was the kind of local overlord that could never leave Earth in this lifetime.
As for Destoroyah acquiring Ghidorah's genes, this was difficult to evaluate because the genes of the two were inherently contradictory.
Destoroyah's source of power came from absorbing carbon dioxide and various atmospheric elements, which underwent chemical reactions within its body to produce powerful Oxygen Destroyer energy.
Ghidorah, on the other hand, did not require such things and traveled through space using Gravity Beams.
Thus, a paradox was born.
If Destoroyah wished to travel through space, it would have to abandon its original power and instead use Gravity Beams.
But once it absorbed Ghidorah's genes and used Gravity Beams, it would inevitably transform into another kind of Ghidorah.
Question: Who would ultimately go into space, Destoroyah or Ghidorah?
This seemed to become an unsolvable loop.
...
Returning to the main topic, after discovering Destoroyah, Xiao immediately set off for the MonsterVerse.
At this point in the MonsterVerse timeline,
Godzilla had just defeated Ghidorah and become the King of the Titans. The entire world was enjoying a relatively peaceful era, and this peace had already lasted for several years.
When Xiao stepped onto this land again, he clearly recalled the memories belonging to his Other Self.
Back then, Xiao had personally witnessed the fierce battle between Ghidorah and Rodan.
Ghidorah blasted Rodan into the sea with a powerful Gravity Beam.
Just as it was about to approach the gigantic aircraft, Godzilla suddenly leaped from the ocean, slammed Ghidorah into the water, and tore off one of its heads.
Although humanity later launched the Oxygen Destroyer and severely wounded Godzilla, Ghidorah seized the opportunity to escape and began terraforming Earth.
It was at that critical moment that Xiao successfully recovered the Ghidorah head that had fallen into the sea, thereby obtaining the ability to transform into Ghidorah.
Through this head, Xiao not only acquired Ghidorah's various abilities and powers, such as Gravity Beams, super regeneration, energy absorption, and super adaptation,
but also obtained the King's Call ability that could summon other Titans, along with the natural storms that accompanied Ghidorah.
In the original story, this severed head was eventually salvaged and transformed into the biological computer for Mechagodzilla in the third movie.
However, because Xiao had taken Kevin's head, it was now uncertain whether Apex Cybernetics still possessed the means to develop Mechagodzilla.
Xiao believed that he could provide them with a little help.
After all, Godzilla's Atomic Furnace operating formula was simply too tempting!
The power of Gravity Beams focused on comprehensively strengthening Ghidorah and emphasized plunder.
He was like a black hole, capable of devouring all life and even entire planets.
In contrast, Godzilla's Atomic Furnace focused more on destruction and annihilation, possessing terrifying destructive power against everything.
This might be why Godzilla was stronger than Ghidorah.
One was a tanky warrior, while the other was a tanky mage. Although the warrior had more health, the mage dealt greater damage.
In addition, Ghidorah possessed another characteristic—it was extremely difficult to kill.
Even after being completely destroyed, it could revive multiple times through various methods and continue fighting Godzilla.
Physical regeneration, consciousness possession, and even directly occupying a mechanical body—these were all Ghidorah's specialties.
...
...
In fact, under Xiao's aerial circuit surveillance, Apex Cybernetics was already secretly researching Mechagodzilla.
However, due to the loss of Ghidorah's head as a medium, their existing neural technology proved insufficient to control Mechagodzilla.
As a result, all test pilots descended into madness under the tremendous mental burden, and some severe cases even suffered brain death.
Xiao felt that he could provide the chief engineer with a little inspiration.
Thus, a plan suddenly appeared within the man's mind.
