NOVEL WEB Chapter 25: Chapter 22.
As Alex settled deeper into the cave, resting from the clash with Kong, a chilling realization struck him mid-thought.
Earlier—when he was at Fun Island—he had been dangerously close to the Mariana Trench.
And in this world... that was Godzilla's lair.
The Megalodons he fought—where had they come from? The trench was the only logical place. A deep, dark abyss untouched by man and ruled by the apex predator of the planet. Maybe something had disturbed the balance… or maybe they were simply fleeing or escaping?.
But it didn't matter.
If the Megalodons came from the trench, then hunting them there would mean stepping into Godzilla's domain.
And unlike Kong, there would be no escaping Godzilla. No clever evasion No retreating and licking his wounds.
He would be annihilated.
"Damn… if I hadn't remembered that…" Alex muttered in his mind, a cold shiver running down his spine. "I'd have been cooked."
No—he couldn't afford to chase that smoke.
For now, sticking to Skull Island was the better option.
---
He reviewed his options:
There were tunnels here that connected to Hollow Earth. If he could find one, he could possibly explore the deeper world. But that came with its own problem.
The gravity inversion zone.
Even with his regeneration and tough scales, there was no guarantee he'd survive that kind of internal chaos. And if he did… getting back out would be even worse.
Still… it was tempting.
But maybe someday.
---
The escaped Skullcrawlers were still hiding. That meant he'd have to bait them out.
His plan? Kill a Skerr Buffalo, one of the massive, peaceful herbivores native to the island, and leave the carcass near one of the abandoned nests. The scent of blood would draw them out—one by one. And he would pick them off in the open, far from their ambush terrain.
It was clean. Efficient.
And it would keep him out of Kong's way—mostly.
He would also keep an eye out for the Mire Squids. According to his memories of the MonsterVerse lore, they lived in the swampy rivers of Skull Island and could grow massive, even rivaling some kaiju. If he found one, it'd be a good source of EV points.
And those giant spiders too,they wouldn't stand a chance against him. Ideal prey for his current size and power.
---
Once all that was done… he'd return to Borneo for a while.
It had been the first place he arrived in when he transmigrated. In some weird way, he missed it. That wild jungle felt like his true beginning—before all this evolution and battles he'd been through.
---
With that final thought, Alex curled his wings around himself like a cloak and drifted off to sleep.
Today had been a long day of folding and getting folded.
Time skip 2 months later.
The plan had worked better than he imagined.
Using the Skerr Buffalo carcasses as bait, Alex had systematically lured out the remaining Skullcrawlers hiding on Skull Island. Over time, one by one, they came creeping out of the nests—drawn by the blood and rot—and met their end beneath his crushing jaws and relentless tail.
In total, he'd killed 16 Skullcrawlers.
Each one had earned him +4000 EV Points. That was a hefty amount, and it had stacked up fast.
As for the ones left? Too small. Barely above the size of car, and not even worth the effort. He'd considered wiping them out anyway—his hatred for the species hadn't faded—but then he reconsidered. As much as he despised them, the Skullcrawlers played a vital role in controlling the herbivore population on the island. Without them, the ecosystem would collapse.
So, for now… he let them live.
He also tried to find Mire squids but couldn't find them.
---
But it wasn't just Skullcrawlers he'd had to deal with.
He'd had three encounters with Kong in the past two months.
Each time, the massive ape had caught wind of him too late—and Alex had taken no chances. The moment he saw Kong move toward him, he took to the skies, wings carving through the air like blades. He wasn't ready to challenge the King of Skull Island yet, and he knew it.
But now… he might be getting close.
With all the EVs gathered from the Skullcrawler extermination, plus the Megalodons and the giant octopus before, his reserves had finally reached the number he'd been waiting for.
Alex stared at the swirling energy of his system screen, already knowing what came next.
He now had enough EVs to upgrade his Armored Scales to Level 4.
And with that, the system would finally unlock Infinite Growth: Level 3.
Then he would upgrade it to level 4.
The final step that would push him into a whole new threshold.
Apex Supreme.
A level where the word "kaiju" no longer felt like a stretch.
A level… that put him one evolution away from being a Titan.

"Show system interface," Alex thought.

DING!
[Congratulations to the Host for reaching Upper Apex Tier.]
Alex's body pulsed with a slow, deep thrum. Power surged through every vein and bone, like molten energy refining his form from within. His tail extended, his torso broadened, and his wings stretched farther than ever before—casting shadows the size of buildings.destroying his cave that he had been sleeping in for the past two months.
Then another message popped up.
DING!
[New Ability Unlocked: Passive Radiation Absorption]
Description: Your body now passively absorbs ambient radiation, converting it into evolutionary energy over time. Stronger radiation yields faster absorption.
[Ding new ability unlocked: Thermal magnetic vision]
Alex's grin widened. That was the final piece. The bridge between Apex and Titan.
And then—
DING!
[Evolution to Titan Class Unlocked]
—REQUIREMENTS—
> Radiation: 0 / 5,000 units
EV Points: 0 / 200,000
---
He stared at the notification for a long moment, then clenched his claws.
Titan class,he was now closer then ever.
Alex stared at the system interface, his slit pupils narrowing.two hundred thousand EV points.
Five thousand units of radiation.
That was the price of power. Of evolution. Of becoming something the world would one day fear as much as Godzilla.
He let out a slow breath, steam hissing from his nostrils as his massive wings curled in close to his body. That's... a lot.
Even with all the Skullcrawlers he'd slain and the Megalodons torn apart, he was still far from what he needed since he had used most of those points anyway. Just getting the points would take time—hunting apex predators, surviving more near-death battles, risking exposure. And the radiation? That was a different problem entirely.
Where would I even find that much radiation? he thought. Then it hit him.
There were places in this world where humans had buried their mistakes—nuclear waste zones, abandoned testing sites, and fallout hotspots. It wouldn't be pleasant... but it would work.
Still, a chill ran down his spine. Even if he got everything—every point, every unit of radiation—he knew what came next.
Chrysalis.
The system hadn't said it, but he was certain. With a transformation that immense, he'd be vulnerable. Blind. Dormant.
For how long? Hours? Days? Weeks?
Time was now his greatest enemy. Ghidorah was still out there. Monarch was watching him. And if either of them moved before he was ready…
Alex clenched his claws into the dirt.
He needed to move fast.
But at least now, with his upgraded body, he was confident in one thing—he could survive the trip to Hollow Earth. Gravity inversion or not, he was strong enough now to endure it. The only problem was finding the tunnels.
And Kong…
Alex's jaw tightened. The ape had nearly ended him once. But that was before.
Now?
He could give him a run for his money.
Maybe not win.
But definitely make him bleed.
Still, he'd keep his distance—for now. Because pride wouldn't save him if that overgrown monkey decided to throw another mountain.
He looked at his system again.

With his plans forming and his goals clearer than ever, Alex spread his wings and stepped out of what remained of the cave. The journey to Titanhood had begun.
