Godzilla Earth: Origin - Book 1: Chapter 11: Battle of the Philippine Sea - Exhalation (2)

“Roar…”

The titan’s roar reverberated through the depths of the sea. This was Godzilla’s small reaction to the human attack just now – the human assault did not prove entirely ineffective; at least it made Godzilla roar, didn’t it?

Godzilla swam in the vast ocean, its tail stirring the waters as it “observed” the fleet in the far distance, contemplating.

Am I lucky? Just as I emerged, I encountered the human military.

One of its secondary missions was to destroy a large-scale human force. It failed to complete that mission during its previous landfall, but this time, it should be achievable, right?

“Secondary Mission: The Mercy of the Monster King.”

“Arrogant humans always believe their weapons and military are invincible in this world. However, the Monster King has a different perspective. To make humans understand this fact, the merciful Monster King decides to demonstrate it personally.”

[Reward: One evolution of the power supply system.]

Godzilla hadn’t completed this mission yet.

It was quite curious to see how far its evolution could progress and whether the degree of enhancement would surpass that of physical strengthening.

However, compared to this mission, Godzilla actually wanted to complete another secondary mission more.

After completing this evolution, five new missions would be added to its panel, corresponding to four directions other than the power supply system and an auxiliary function.

As for that auxiliary function, Godzilla was very eager for it.

“Secondary Mission: Human Nest, Desolate Wasteland.”

“Humans are cunning creatures, easily hiding and regrouping once a few escape. So, destroy a human city! Ensure that the population density in the city is less than 100 humans per square kilometer.”

[Reward: Human radar, helping you locate the whereabouts of every human on Earth.]

This feature would be of great assistance to Godzilla’s dream of driving humans out of this universe. It would strive to complete this mission.

However, before that, it needed to defeat the fleet in front of it.

…

“The unmanned submarines have approached within 5 nautical miles of Godzilla. Launch high-speed torpedoes!”

At the other end of the sea, dozens of kilometers away, people in the command room stared nervously at the Godzilla model that had just been established using the sonar of the unmanned submarines. They issued the command to fire.

“Swoosh…”

More than 180 torpedoes, each with over a hundred knots of speed, shot out from the torpedo tubes of the unmanned submarines. These small torpedoes carried a minimal amount of explosive, but their advantage lay in their tremendous speed and self-tracking capabilities, with minimal noise.

Nearly 200 torpedoes shot underwater towards Godzilla, heading for its body.

However, Godzilla had already sensed their trajectory using its sonar as soon as they were launched. But it had no desire to evade them and instead chose to directly withstand the impact of nearly 200 torpedoes with its own body.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…”

Continuous explosions erupted on Godzilla’s body, numerous bubbles burst forth, and the explosion displaced and evaporated the seawater, forming bubbles enveloping Godzilla with high-temperature gas exceeding a thousand degrees Celsius.

For a moment, the projection of Godzilla in the distant command room experienced slight fluctuations due to the interference caused by these bubbles.

In the command room, Commander Huang and others stared at the fluctuating projection of Godzilla, waiting for the subsequent data.

This projection model was a three-dimensional representation of Godzilla scanned by the sonar of the unmanned submarines, providing a detailed depiction of Godzilla’s entire body.

With it, they would no longer be puzzled about Godzilla’s physical condition like they were when relying on satellite imagery.

Through it, they could see the complete situation of Godzilla’s body, where it was injured, where it was bleeding. All of this could be discerned through the sonar model.

“How severe are its injuries?”

The data came out, and Commander Huang asked the measurement officer in charge of interpreting the 3D model the most crucial question.

“The sonar indicates… no apparent damage to the surface… How is that possible?”

The observer answered the question with an incredulous expression. In the display of the 3D sonar, there were no visible signs of damage on Godzilla’s exterior. How could that be possible?

Accepting that it suffered only minor injuries would have been understandable, but to be completely unharmed? That was impossible! There couldn’t be a material capable of achieving such a level.

Hearing this answer, Commander Huang furrowed his brow. He realized that Godzilla’s strength far surpassed their expectations.

Originally, in their plans, these two waves of attacks were expected to at least inflict minor injuries on Godzilla, causing it to fear and change its course of action.

But the reality was far from that. They hadn’t even pierced Godzilla’s skin.

It was completely unscathed!

This was definitely beyond the capabilities of aluminum-silicon alloys. Their estimation of Godzilla had been mistaken. This monster was not in the same league as the previous Titans.

They needed heavy firepower.

“Switch the submarines to heavy torpedoes. Change the ammunition for the drones as well. Don’t use small missiles. Drop air-to-surface missiles directly in front of it, using maximum firepower to force it to change its direction.”

New orders were issued, and as Commander Huang looked at the unharmed Godzilla, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

“Also, contact the Pacific Fleet again and tell them to accelerate their speed.”

“Clap…”

In the depths of the sea, large bubbles burst while smaller ones floated to the surface. Countless bubbles disappeared, freeing Godzilla from their grip and revealing its unscathed and fierce face.

Over a hundred torpedoes had blasted against its face, but not even a small dent remained. This was the evolved Godzilla’s defense power.

If it were composed of just β-iron, there would probably be several centimeters of small craters on Godzilla’s skin from the torpedoes. β-iron lacked resilience and would deform upon explosion, unable to restore its original shape.

However, with the addition of carbon nanotubes, the rebound resilience became exceptional.

The composite β-iron was slightly deformed by the explosions but was immediately pulled back into place by the carbon tubes. As a result, these dozens of torpedoes caused no damage to Godzilla whatsoever.

As far as massages go, it was just right.

That was Godzilla’s evaluation of this cluster of torpedoes from humans. But right after the torpedoes, something incongruous appeared in the sky.

It was a swarm of unmanned bombers launched by three aircraft carriers, preparing to drop super-sized air-to-surface missiles right in front of Godzilla to force it to change direction.

At the same time, several unmanned submarines several miles away had also switched their torpedoes, transforming their 400mm, 80kg explosive high-speed torpedoes into 600mm, 300kg explosive heavyweight torpedoes.

“Fire.”

“Boom…”

“Roar!”

The one-ton air-to-surface missiles and the heavyweight torpedoes were launched simultaneously, heading towards Godzilla’s face.

This time, the underwater Godzilla was no longer indifferent. It let out a resounding roar, shaking the depths of the sea, and raised its head, “observing” the approaching air-to-surface missiles from the surface.

In the face of these missiles, Godzilla’s mouth emitted a light capable of illuminating the entire seabed in the next instant.

The sea was parted
