After absorbing a large amount of Titan genes, Xiao felt his body's vitality growing stronger and stronger, and the genes within him were rapidly evolving.
However, he soon discovered that Destoroyah's evolution required a massive consumption of life energy, and its life energy was micro-oxygen.
Micro-oxygen is a type of oxygen particle with a diameter in the micrometer range, and it possesses some unique properties.
For example, in high-temperature environments, micro-oxygen can promote adaptive mutations in certain organisms, while in low-temperature environments, micro-oxygen is inhibited.
Micro-oxygen is a crucial biologically active substance for Destoroyah; it can even be said that Destoroyah survives by consuming micro-oxygen.
Moreover, after in-depth research into the mechanism of micro-oxygen, Xiao discovered that micro-oxygen is actually the key factor that allows Destoroyah to continuously evolve.
This means that micro-oxygen itself, like Atomic Breath and Gravity Ray, is a special energy that can promote the evolution of organisms into Titans.
The production of micro-oxygen requires a large consumption of carbon dioxide, and reducing carbon dioxide can be used to mitigate the greenhouse effect.
This undoubtedly proves that Destoroyah, in terms of its abilities, is the most authentic member of the Titans.
After all, the birth of every powerful Titan means that Earth is about to face a severe crisis that could destroy nature.
Titans are born to maintain the balance of nature, and their existence is crucial to Earth's ecosystem.
Titans are also the planet's self-defense white blood cells, eliminating all foreign invaders.
Therefore, Titans were worshipped as gods by primitive people.
Furthermore, as long as Titans continuously use their abilities to benefit nature, that is basically a "get out of jail free" card.
All Titans who contribute to nature are born with natural protection.
Godzilla, as the leader among the Titans and the strongest combat Titan,
further protects beneficial Titans and prevents outsiders from harming them.
Even if these beneficial Titans fight Godzilla out of dissatisfaction, Godzilla will not easily kill them in the end.
Based on the above considerations, Xiao unhesitatingly chose the city with the largest carbon dioxide emissions—the skies above Seoul.
As the city with the largest carbon emissions, Destoroyah's power here would be able to exert its maximum effect, making an important contribution to improving Earth's environment.
Seoul's military immediately spotted the colossal object floating in the sky and instantly sounded the city-wide alarm.
Large numbers of civilians screamed, frantically rushing into the streets toward nearby underground shelters.
The destructive power of Titans was already well known to everyone.
Previously, Rodan the Fire Demon merely flying at low altitude had caused storms and sonic booms that turned an ordinary city into a scene of devastation.
The battle between King Ghidorah and Godzilla had even reduced all of Boston to ruins.
For a city, Titans are the greatest natural disaster in history.
All the Koreans prayed to their gods, begging for this Titan to merely be passing by and not remain in Seoul.
However, Xiao not only did not leave, but instead began to feed.
On Destoroyah's chest, there was a huge mouth.
The mouth continuously opened and closed, as if devouring something in the air.
Mark watched Destoroyah, who was continuously swallowing on the large screen, feeling a mix of fear and confusion.
He didn't understand why this Titan had appeared here, nor did he know what it was devouring.
Mark looked at the image on the screen with a puzzled expression and asked his consultant, Dr. Chen,
"What is he doing?"
"He's probably eating something in the air. Have the local personnel check the atmospheric composition!"
Chen Ailing speculated.
Soon, the technical personnel analyzed what Destoroyah was eating:
"Director, Monster No. 33 is devouring carbon dioxide! The carbon dioxide content in Seoul's atmosphere is rapidly decreasing!"
A large amount of carbon dioxide was absorbed by Xiao, creating a visible vortex in the sky above the city, which made the humans below even more terrified.
In their view, Destoroyah was charging up a massive attack, preparing to level Seoul with a single blow.
The Koreans even directly mobilized their military, with hundreds of fighter jets ascending into the sky and heading straight for Destoroyah.
Tens of thousands of tons of carbon dioxide were inhaled by Xiao.
After entering Xiao's body, this carbon dioxide was not wasted, but was converted into micro-oxygen through Destoroyah's power.
These micro-oxygen then became Destoroyah's source of life, injected into every cell in its body and continuously stimulating Destoroyah's evolution.
"Roar~~~~"
With a roar mixed with the sound of colliding metal, the bellow echoed over Seoul.
A blue beam streaked across the sky like a sharp razor, instantly splitting every fighter jet in the sky in half.
The next moment, hundreds of fighter jets, like birds with broken wings, fell one after another, triggering a spectacular series of explosions on the ground.
The most elite air force unit of the Korean nation was wiped out by Destoroyah in the blink of an eye, and at that moment, the entire Korean command system fell into dead silence.
However, what made them even more indignant was the instruction from their "daddy" across the Pacific Ocean:
Before Monster No. 33 clearly attacked humans, no attacks were allowed against it!
This undoubtedly brought immense pressure and confusion to the Korean military.
On one hand, they needed to maintain national security; on the other hand, they could not disobey their superior's orders.
Thus, the Korean air force found itself in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
Fortunately, Destoroyah ceased its actions once the Koreans stopped attacking and continued to float in the air, inhaling and exhaling carbon dioxide.
After several days of fear, the people of Seoul gradually grew accustomed to the Titan in the sky.
They discovered that Destoroyah would not actively attack humans; as long as it was not provoked, there would be no danger.
So, people began to emerge from their shelters and resume their normal lives.
When people learned that Destoroyah actually fed on carbon dioxide, they became even more excited.
This meant that Destoroyah would not only pose no threat to humanity, but could also help improve the environment.
This news quickly spread throughout the city, and people's attitudes toward Destoroyah underwent a huge change.
Many began to view it as a guardian deity, and some even proposed building a statue for it to express their respect and gratitude.
Seoul, as the city with the highest carbon emissions in the world, naturally suffered greatly because of it.
Every summer became the most unbearable season.
