This was Rhodes' first ti owning a monster he could directly control. Every other beast, even the dumbest, like Red King, could act on its own.
Remote control ant he had a new avatar, hugely expanding his options. A mindless beast, no matter how strong, wouldn't interest Nurgle—it needed so form of self-awareness.
In the Ultraman universe, many monsters aren't truly alive; so are animated clay or machines. chanical monsters can be awakened or controlled by special ans. Maybe in the future, he could draw more remotely controllable monsters.
Rhodes read all the details about Sealizar. Most importantly, his soul would be shielded from Chaos corruption while controlling it—Nurgle would see it as a naturally born monster, not sothing else.
With this assurance, Rhodes felt safe sending it to Nurgle.
In terms of battle power, Sealizar's lee was weak (its body was just sticky, rotten at), but its cellular regeneration was terrifying. As long as it wasn't destroyed, it could recover.
Its only ranged attack was toxic gas breath—honestly, it looked exactly like a Nurgle Greater Daemon!
Rhodes wanted to summon it for a test run, but the stench would alert everyone on the ship, and the passive toxic gas would harm non-superhumans.
For now, he decided to keep it in the system space.
He'd unleash it during the Plague Wars, or maybe when he encountered a top-tier Nurgle daemon.
After this purchase, Rhodes had 1.4 million system coins left.
In the 100,000-coin pool, there were no monsters suitable to offer Khorne. Khorne loved war and blood—Red King or Bemstar were vicious, but not enough to impress Khorne.
So, for now, the best he could do was pacify Nurgle.
Rhodes considered using the coins for a lottery draw or new monster upgrades—EX enhancents.
He'd upgraded the enhancent function for 2 million coins during the Tyranid War but had only used it on his first cosmic phantom beast so far.
Both Gomora and Red King were eligible for EX enhancent. The next upgrade would cost 10 million coins and unlock fusion enhancents—combining monsters into new forms.
Red King's EX Enhancent:
Height 5m, Weight 5,000 tons
Massive fists, magma power, fire attacks, special move: Path of Fla
Gomora's EX Enhancent:
Height 4m, Weight 2,000 tons
Spiky armor, ultra shockwave attack enhanced, tail can pierce, special move: EX Shockwave
Each EX enhancent cost 100,000 coins—expensive, but a new basic monster cost the sa.
Red King was no longer a frontline fighter, so even with EX, his power wouldn't increase dramatically. He still couldn't fly and was limited to ground combat, which Rhodes didn't lack.
Gomora was currently leased to Yvraine.
But the real ga-changer was that after EX enhancent, Rhodes could apply the monster's enhanced physical attributes to himself as well—essentially doubling up on the bonus.
Rhodes decided to EX both Gomora and Red King, spending 200,000 coins.
Both monsters grew past 60 ters and 40,000 tons. Red King's skin turned chocolate-red and black, his arms grew huge, and his skin beca tougher, burning nearby enemies.
Gomora beca even more fearso—spiky, imposing, and 60 ters tall.
Just then, Rhode'ss special communicator rang—it was Yvraine calling.
"Did Gomora's new look scare you? Just a little upgrade. Now Gomora is stronger than ever," Rhodes explained.
"You're always up to sothing! But it's a good thing for ; see you soon on the moon—I'll reward you then," Yvarine said.
After EX enhancent, both monsters' combat power increased severalfold. Rhodes used the system to absorb their enhancents himself.
Two waves of red energy surged into his body, boosting his cells. With Red King's firepower and Gomora's EX Shockwave, Rhodes gained new powerful abilities.
His physical and soul strength both increased—a bonus equivalent to two regular monster upgrades.
