Chapter 278: Synthesizing the Megalosaurus
The sea was Mosasaurus's domain. Once in the ocean, even Charlotte Linlin wouldn't be able to stir up trouble.
They saw Mosasaurus's molten giant hand reach down into the water.
Charlotte Linlin, submerged beneath the surface, was instantly seized in its grasp.
But Mosasaurus didn't lift her out. Instead, his body shifted, transforming into his dinosaur form as he returned to the sea.
Zeus and Prometheus were both captured as well.
As for Napoleon, he was already in Mosasaurus's possession.
Soon after, they returned to the Dragon Flame.
Buzz!
Ice Island completely sank beneath the sea.
The waves roiled violently as a whirlpool began to form.
…
Half a day later.
On another island within Totto Land's waters.
Aboard the Dragon Flame.
Inside a room.
Charlotte Linlin had been brought back. After remaining in the sea for half a day and suffering heavy injuries, she had already lost consciousness.
However, her powerful physique kept her from dying.
"To become a synthesized creation—at least you've fulfilled your value."
Jiang Qize looked at the enormous Big Mom, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
He then opened the system's designated summoning interface.
"Megalosaurus… the smartest dinosaur. You'll do."
After a glance, he selected this dinosaur.
Megalosaurus was the first dinosaur ever named in the world and was listed among the most intelligent dinosaurs. Its head was larger than any other part of its body except the torso.
Its size wasn't particularly massive, but it still stood four meters tall and stretched over ten meters in length.
In truth, he didn't care much about which dinosaur to synthesize.
He could strengthen any dinosaur to tremendous levels. He simply wanted something different this time.
Ten million Beli were deducted.
Bang!
A massive figure materialized before him.
"Roar—"
A thunderous roar rang out, carrying an ancient aura. A creature from over 150 million years ago, Megalosaurus's presence felt even more primordial than that of a Tyrannosaurus, making the air itself seem to freeze.
Within its massive head, rows of teeth exuded a chilling aura, and its pale red, ferocious eyes gleamed with light.
Jiang Qize smiled, then opened the synthesis interface.
He placed them inside.
Another ten million Beli were deducted.
Buzz!
A dazzling light flared upward.
"Ah—!"
Charlotte Linlin's final scream echoed out, then slowly faded away.
Bang!
Megalosaurus appeared once more—now utterly transformed.
An aura that shook the soul spread outward in all directions. Its eyes brimmed with spiritual force, capable of devouring one's very will.
[Name]: Megalosaurus
[Type]: Carnivorous Dinosaur
[Abilities]: Transformation (can assume human form), Soul-Soul Fruit (can seize souls and lifespan, freely manipulate souls), Super Physique (possesses powerful defense and recovery), Intermediate Conqueror's Haki, Advanced Armament Haki, Intermediate Observation Haki.
[Strength]: Navy Headquarters Major!
"It even inherited Haki!"
Jiang Qize exclaimed in surprise.
Even Conqueror's Haki could be inherited—this was somewhat outrageous.
Conqueror's Haki was an innate gift. Among a million people, not even one might possess it. That alone showed how extraordinary the talent was.
Between those with Conqueror's Haki and those without, there would be suppression. At equal strength, the one with Conqueror's Haki would absolutely win.
"Interesting. I'd like to see just how strong you can become."
Light flashed in Jiang Qize's eyes.
Even in its initial state, without any further enhancement, Megalosaurus was already this powerful. If he strengthened it further, it might surpass even Mosasaurus and the others.
With that, he led Megalosaurus outside.
Enhancing it inside the cabin wouldn't do—it would burst the place apart.
