Chapter 458 Willow Eats
The Celestial Pioneer arrived in the Arcturus Sea.
Below them stretched a vast expanse of ocean!
Robert had already hacked into the Arcturus official system, and the blueprints for Reactor 1 and Reactor 4 of the Stellar Nuclear Facility appeared on his screen.
Over two thousand pounds of highly enriched uranium were hidden beneath the two reactors.
Way more than what was in the sarcophagus at the Galaxy District!
And with a shorter decay time, the radiation levels were just right!
Perfect for what Elbert needed!
However, the Stellar Nuclear Facility hadn't exploded; it had only leaked due to an earthquake.
So, there were still quite a few workers active within a two-mile radius of the nuclear plant.
It wasn't as desolate as the Galaxy District!
As Elbert was contemplating his plan, a loud rumbling sound interrupted him.
Elbert turned around to see Willow sitting listlessly in the corner, holding her two cubs, her stomach growling pitifully.
"Willow, you're hungry, huh?"
Willow let out a weak growl in response.
Elbert sighed, "I can't let you go down and eat the people of Arcturus."
Willow pointed to her two cubs, indicating that they were hungry too.
Elbert chuckled and remembered the information about the Stellar Nuclear Facility.
The facility was built by the sea, and when the nuclear leak occurred, a large amount of radioactive material flowed into the seawater.
Surely, some mutated creatures must have emerged from the depths of the ocean!
Elbert stretched, "Willow, let's go catch some fish!"
Two figures, one large and one small, jumped off the Celestial Pioneer, splashing into the water!
Elbert's enhanced human physiology allowed him to hold his breath for 1-2 hours without any problem!
As for Willow, she flailed her four paws in the water.
Bubbles emerged from her nose.
Elbert demonstrated how to cover her mouth and nose, "Willow, learn to hold your breath. The king of land mutations can't be a wimp!"
Willow, not one to be outdone, showed her intelligence.
She mimicked Elbert, closing her mouth and holding her breath, curling her limbs into a ball.
She looked like a gray furball, her long hair floating in the water as she slowly sank!
Elbert smiled, "Smart as always!"
The two of them sank to the seabed.
The ground beneath them was soft, kicking up silt and sand.
They weren't far from the shoreline, and the water was shallow enough to see a faint glimmer of light.
Willow's big, dark eyes looked at Elbert, gesturing with her paws—where's the food?
Elbert shook his head slightly, signaling Willow to be patient.
In a flash, Elbert caught a fish swimming by.
With a crunch, he crushed it, and blood slowly dispersed, the scent spreading!
After a moment of holding their breath.
A swarm of gray and white crabs crawled over the seabed!
These crabs had shells about two feet long, with forelimbs as thick as a wrist, and giant claws like steel pincers!
Their legs spread out, reaching nearly ten feet!
Elbert squinted.
There had been rumors of mutated killer crabs in the Arcturus nuclear leak area!
They had once killed all the fishermen on a dozen fishing boats!
It seemed these were the culprits!
Robert: "The giant coconut crab is already the largest known crustacean, and now, after radiation mutation, its size has doubled, becoming even more bloodthirsty and cruel!"
Elbert nodded slightly.
He clenched his fingers, pointing at the crabs, "Willow, dinner is served."
Willow let out a low growl, bubbles emerging from her mouth, and grabbed a mutated coconut crab, chomping down.
She ate with great relish!
The terrifying mutated coconut crabs clamped onto Willow, but to her, it was like a tickle, completely ignored.
Elbert watched, squinting as Willow enjoyed her meal, crunching like she was eating potato chips, making him want to take a bite too.
But then he thought.
Competing with a sloth for food? How undignified!
Elbert's brow furrowed slightly.
But, since this was Willow's first time eating seafood, he should do his best.
"Robert, integrate 50% Witch DNA!"
In the next moment, Elbert summoned liquid metal, forming a long, thin rod several meters long.
The rod began to glow red, becoming intensely hot!
The surrounding seawater instantly heated to 200 degrees!
But this temperature was nothing to Elbert and Willow!
The swarming mutated coconut crabs met their end.
Approaching Elbert, they turned red!
In no time.
Willow grabbed a cooked mutated coconut crab, took a bite, and found it even tastier!
Elbert smirked slightly, considering this a form of culinary skill.
Thirty minutes later.
Willow had eaten at least a few hundred killer crabs!
Gradually, full, her movements slowed, and she began to feel sleepy.
Just as Elbert was getting bored, his combat instincts kicked in!
He looked up, his heart tightening!
Above him, a massive creature, blocking out the light, was swimming slowly!
This thing was pitch black, with a flat body, at least 150 feet long!
It seemed to have noticed Elbert, opening its tooth-filled mouth, charging straight at him!
Willow saw this, dropped the crab in her paw, and roared, swimming up to confront it!
A muffled sound echoed through the water, currents swirling!
Willow's swipe sent the massive creature back several feet!
Willow, standing 15 feet tall, was only a tenth of the creature's size!
But the land radiation king lived up to its name, able to go toe-to-toe with the giant fish!
Elbert's right eye glowed purple, data appearing.
'Electric catfish!'
'One of the known species capable of generating electricity!'
Robert: "This thing has clearly mutated!"
At that moment.
Willow was about to clash with the mutated electric catfish again.
But the catfish's two large whiskers began to spark with electricity!
Elbert rushed forward.
Blocking Willow from the mutated electric catfish!
Elbert signaled Willow to return to the surface, indicating he would handle this!
Willow reluctantly swam away, wiping her mouth.
Elbert realized.
She was still waiting to eat the fish?
Then.
In the depths of the water, only Elbert and the mutated electric catfish remained; other creatures fled in fear!
Elbert calmly faced the giant electric catfish.
Both were bioelectric generators, but he wanted to see who was stronger, him or this ArcDNA!
Elbert had never fully unleashed his DNA abilities, not knowing their limits!
"Robert, adjust to 82% ArcDNA!"
82% was Elbert's DNA transformation limit!
In the next moment.
Electric currents formed on Elbert's body, high-voltage arcs dancing, covering him entirely!
In the deep blue sea, he looked like a ball of dazzling electricity!
The mutated electric catfish sensed the power of its opponent!
It too generated electricity from its whiskers, blue currents covering its body!
It showed no fear, its kingly aura erupting!
In the next moment!
Boom!
The currents from both clashed through the water, like two gravitational fields, sending out electric ripples, colliding with a roar!
Even fish thousands of feet away were startled, scattering instantly!
The two battled for five minutes!
Elbert began to feel drained!
His currents were overpowered, instantly overwhelmed by the electric catfish's, surging back at him!
Elbert felt a jolt!
Robert said, "Bioelectricity comes from the electric units in the body, depending on the number of nerve endings and the chemical energy conversion!"
"It's so big, you can't compete!"
"Embarrassing!"
Elbert frowned, "Then let's switch it up, take this punch!"
Elbert created a trail of bubbles underwater, his form instantly reaching the catfish!
In the next moment, the electric catfish's worldview was shattered, never having faced such a blow, sent flying!
