-----------
The 3-Headed Serpent, a.k.a. Ghidorah, has bat-like wings and two tails. Each of its serpentine heads has menacing horns, sharp teeth, and glowing eyes. Its body is covered in tough, scale-like armor.
Sebastian recognized it at a glance. It was like the overlord from back then, the Six-Legged Python; they were quite similar. The Six-Legged Python once had evolving wings on its body, but it hadn't fully developed before a Drwonviper killed it.
And this Ghidorah was the offspring of the Six-Legged Python. To avoid being hunted, there were two who escaped, and this Ghidorah was one of them.
"Where's the other one?" Sebastian glanced at the situation on the sea, then he couldn't help but stare. Damn, the other one didn't die; instead, it was hiding in the deep sea and was still developing.
The eyes of Ghidorah were full of cunning and wisdom. When it climbed onto land, the first thing it did was not to show its strength; instead, it found a place to hide and observed the land where giant beasts roamed. Within a few days, the Ghidorah discovered King Kong who patrolled over its territory every day.
Hissing-!
A few Skullcrawlers hid in the shadows and secretly spied on King Kong. They wanted to take revenge.
At this time, King Kong had formed a family and given birth to offspring; one of them had inherited the traits of King Kong. The number of Kongs was increasing and gradually occupying all parts of the land.
But Ghidorah found that the most powerful group on this land was not the Kongs; rather, it was the Godzillas. Present-day Godzillas had developed and evolved over several generations, and there were more than a dozen of them, but all of them were lazy by nature. Eat and sleep, sleep and eat; they had no ambition to dominate.
Besides the Godzillas, there were other powerful giant beasts on this land. While the Ghidorah watched this colony of giant beasts, its cunning nature shifted, and soon, it devised a plan.
The Ghidorah moved out and found a defenseless Drownviper. This Drownviper was the descendant of the Drownviper that ruled the land back then but had not yet fully grown. The Skullcrawler that killed its parent was dead, so it no longer sought revenge and just stayed in its territory.
Under a surprise attack, it did not take long before the Drownviper was subdued by the Ghidorah. The Ghidorah did not kill the Drownviper; instead, it carried the seriously injured one to the edge of a Godzilla's territory and put it on the ground, then it hid in the woods nearby.
The Godzillas in the territory quickly discovered this seriously injured Drownviper. However, they were very lazy; after a brief look, they went back to sleep on their backs again. They simply did not bother and were not interested.
That did not mean that other giant beasts were the same; a seriously injured Drownviper was great nutritional food for other creatures. Soon, it attracted the attention of many around.
The shadowy and cunning Skullcrawlers were the first to arrive; three of them joined forces to expel the other beasts before carrying this seriously injured Drownviper and finding a place to eat. But after a few steps, they were stopped by King Kong, who had come to investigate the commotion.
The Skullcrawlers had harbored a grudge against King Kong for a long time. When enemies met, they were furious. They released the seriously injured Drownviper, and both sides fought. King Kong, even in a 1 vs. 3, with the enormous axe in its hand, was not weak. But the Skullcrawlers were very smart; they did not engage in head-to-head combat with King Kong but relied on their numbers, constantly circling and attacking.
When the battle heated up, a giant beast suddenly jumped out from the back of the woods. With lightning speed, it quickly pounced on King Kong. This was a very large scorpion called Aqrabuamelu. With its powerful tail, it stabbed at King Kong. Caught off guard, King Kong was struck, and poison was injected into its body.
When the Skullcrawlers saw this, they immediately retreated far away. King Kong roared madly, swinging its enormous axe in an attempt to kill the Aqrabuamelu. But after the Aqrabuamelu succeeded, it rushed back into the woods quickly.
King Kong chased after it, and the entire land resounded with its roar. As time passed, the poison took effect, causing King Kong's speed to slow down. The Skullcrawlers saw the right moment and quickly rushed in; they were about to kill Kong.
But unexpectedly, Kong fiercely swung its axe and cut one of the Skullcrawlers. It reached out and grabbed the tail of another Skullcrawler, hurling it to the ground with great force.
Bang-!, Bang-!, Bang-!, Bang...
After dozens of consecutive hard tosses, the Skullcrawler's body could not withstand the assault and was killed. The remaining Skullcrawlers were frightened out of their minds and slipped away, but they did not escape; instead, they began watching from a distance.
A few minutes passed, and Kong's breath became weaker and weaker.
The surrounding woods trembled. As the battle unfolded, it attracted the attention of the entire area. Many giant beasts hid in the shadows to watch and see the situation. If they killed the current overlord, then they would become the new overlord. But no one dared to make the first move.
Finally, a Spirit Tiger could not hold back and rushed in. Many had died at the hands of King Kong, so this Spirit Tiger was ready to fight for supremacy and also for revenge.
But it underestimated the power of Kong; despite being unable to walk and just sitting there leaning on a giant axe, it still fought against the Spirit Tiger. At a critical moment, another giant beast pounced out; it was the Aqrabuamelu that had just attacked. Seeing Kong with barely any breath left, the Skullcrawlers watching from afar also rushed over to join the battle.
Three giant beasts surrounded the maimed Kong. After a fierce slaughter, they were all wounded but ultimately took the last breath from Kong. After the battle ended, the three giant beasts were on high alert, thinking about how to deal with each other. No one expected that the real monster hiding behind the curtain would appear: Ghidorah.
One head bit the Aqrabuamelu, spitting fire from its mouth and incinerating it. The other two heads spewed fire simultaneously, hitting the Skullcrawlers and the Spirit Tiger.
Upon seeing the enormous size of the Ghidorah, the Skullcrawlers and the Spirit Tiger knew there was no way to win this battle, so they quickly fled.
The Ghidorah didn't chase them. Instead, it stomped on the enormous body of King Kong and roared at the sky. It seemed to be announcing to the many creatures of this land that the old overlord was dead and a new leader had emerged.
The other giant beasts watching in the dark were silent. There was no resistance; the Ghidorah was too powerful. Of all the giant beasts that had ruled this land, it was the most powerful and cunning. Many giant beasts could already see that Ghidorah would reign for a long time.
After Ghidorah became the ruler, the first thing it did was to start purging the Kong group. The once-large Kong group instantly fell apart, as most were killed, leaving only a very few survivors.
On the other side, the seriously injured Skullcrawlers ran back into their cave and never dared to come out again. The Ghidorah could not enter the cave, so it gave the Skullcrawlers ample time to regroup. While the Skullcrawlers' colony was slowly growing, what they didn't expect was that in the deeper part of the cave, even more terrifying creatures were forming.
After watching the fierce battle for supremacy in the second land, Sebastian turned his gaze back to the first land.

The atomic project had been underway for three months. After the initial tests, Elizabeth and other scientists used uranium atoms as the raw material for the fission reaction. Uranium was the heaviest of all the elements discovered so far, but many difficulties lay ahead.
The separation and purification of uranium atoms were not simple matters. The entire process was very complicated and relied heavily on precision; a minor mistake rendered all previous work in vain.
In this case, Elizabeth again increased the investment in human resources, even before the plan began. Elizabeth had already predicted the difficulty of this "Atomic Plan," but the real implementation still proved to be underestimated.
This reminded Sebastian of The Manhattan Project. The project concentrated the best nuclear scientists and mobilized nearly 130,000 people to participate over three years, costing 2 billion dollars.
Given the current industrial base of the Imperium, many aspects were therefore not yet perfect. According to Sebastian's judgment, he estimated that this project might take even longer.
When the atomic program was in full swing, Elizabeth did not neglect other aspects. She placed great importance on the people's livelihood, increasing investment and canceling only some unnecessary projects. This also led to the population of the Imperium growing rapidly.
Agriculture entered the mechanized era, as most of the land in the Imperium was a plain area with fertile soil, perfect for mass mechanized farming. Rice, wheat, sorghum, sweet potatoes, and other crops were thriving. With the efforts of agricultural scientists, harvests improved, and yields increased.
For medicine, the main research and development occurred at the College of Medicine, a field that Elizabeth valued highly. Thanks to the second technological revolution, the field of medicine also developed rapidly, with a variety of new drugs being introduced. Diseases that were once difficult to cure now mostly had viable treatments.
Mechanized production lines were an important invention at this stage, greatly improving production efficiency, allowing the Imperium's population to enjoy the latest scientific research products.
The most obvious change was the increase in life expectancy per capita. During Kai's era, the Imperium's per capita life expectancy was less than 50 years; the infant mortality rate and injury death rate were very high, and even a minor ailment like tetanus could prove fatal. Now, such outcomes were impossible.
Life expectancy per capita rose to over 70 years, nearly matching that of Earth. While the current technology level in the Imperium had not yet reached that of Earth, the overall quality of humans on Greater Terra was higher than that on Earth. For example, the incidence of congenital diseases was much lower.
Time passed, and the atomic program was in full swing, but progress was slow. After five years, only a small amount of raw uranium had been refined, leaving a considerable distance to success.
Sebastian was not in a hurry; compared to other planet owners, he could accelerate progress infinitely. However, because he could not speed up his own mind, he decided to slow down acceleration only at crucial points in time. This included the current period of the atomic plan, which he needed to monitor. An accident could be troublesome, especially if Elizabeth and others grew old while waiting for results.
Three more years passed, and the atomic plan reached a critical moment. After one failure after another, they approached their first success. During these years, the Imperium's population skyrocketed.

On the side of the second land, although King Ghidorah ruled this territory, it did not hunt down other races except for the Kong population. As long as other creatures submitted, it would not strike against them and allowed them to thrive.
In the middle of the ocean, the number of fish was slowly increasing. It created a virtuous circle. The growth of creatures brought more life to Greater Terra, further expanding the area's size. The larger Greater Terra, in turn, provided more living space and resources for these creatures.
Sebastian glanced at the planet panel. In recent years, another enormous change had occurred. The diameter of the planet had broken through to an unimaginable level.
