Traveling through the stomach of a ghost beast as massive as Godzilla was a completely new experience for Cloud.
He could no longer see Nephele's face, but her voice echoed in his ears. "We've just left its first stomach."
She had found peace within herself. If he was still alive when she was gone, he could find the way out on his own.
At least he was struggling with hope rather than waiting for death to arrive in despair, which was why she proceeded to tell him everything she knew.
"Have you ever eaten tripe?" She even sounded a bit relaxed when she asked. "This Godzilla's stomachs are somewhat similar to a cow's."
"The first stomach is the smallest. In theory, we should go from the first stomach to the second, then to the third and the fourth. However, when we reach the second stomach, a strong reflux will send us back to the first stomach. Look carefully..."
Cloud was still surrounded by the golden light. It worked like a lantern in the pitch-black environment.
Under her guidance, he found himself in a spacious area. With the help of the dim light, he scanned his surroundings. Judging from the resonance, he could tell that he had reached the second stomach, which was much larger.
A powerful reflux swept in before he could adapt to the new environment. The bad aura enveloped him and spun him around.
Nephele struggled to speak, but she continued to instruct him, "We should follow the first reflux down. It's best not to waste energy resisting it. We need to be careful when we return to the first stomach. An extremely weak force will now push the digested food to the third stomach."
The next moment, Cloud found himself back in a familiar scene. He was familiar with the corrosive strength of the first stomach, which was much stronger than the second stomach.
"Will the corrosiveness be weaker the further down we go?"
She sneered and said, "You're overthinking it. Since the force in the second stomach pushes the substances back to the first stomach, its corrosiveness is weaker, while it has stronger reflux. The third stomach has stronger corrosiveness than the first stomach, but it's weaker than the fourth stomach."
Cloud nodded without a word, not struggling as he went with the flow of stomach acid and various food substances around him.
He found the corpses of ghost beasts and sea creatures around him. It seems like Godzilla eats anything.
"Here we are," Nephele whispered. "Can you feel it?"
He answered with a nod.
The pair threw themselves into the flowing gastric fluid. As expected, they felt a weaker resistance and managed to return to the second stomach. This time, he felt the powerful reflux that he experienced during their first visit.
"That was quite easy..." he mumbled.
Nephele replied, "That was just the beginning!"
