Godzilla Earth: Origin - Book 1: Chapter 16: Battle of the Philippine Sea - Destruction (7 - Conclusion)

Godzilla opened its mouth.

It sensed the positions of the fleets of the smaller entities in the distance, and then covered its eyes with its nictitating membranes.

In the next moment.

The sky turned dark.

Infinite and boundless.

A light of ultimate intensity that cannot be described with any number of words illuminated the entire sea in that instant.

“The sky turned dark?”

In the far distance, 25 nautical miles from Godzilla’s location, at the command center.

People looked at the sky, which had turned extremely dark, and the extreme light in the black sky, their faces filled with confusion.

What was that?

That was…

“Get down!!”

Someone realized.

But it was already too late.

The sea roared, and the sky was dyed black by the light of ultimate intensity.

The beam of ultimate fire, exceeding Mach 100 in speed, crossed a distance of over 15 nautical miles in less than a second, directly hitting a destroyer at the rear left of the fleet.

It hit the fleet.

What happened after it hit? Did it create towering waves? Did it boil the entire sea? Or perhaps a colossal water pillar?

No, none of those.

All that happened was a silent expansion.

The super-concentrated plasma completely exploded in this instant, and Tokyo, which had just seen the sunrise 300 nautical miles away, was once again plunged into darkness.

A massive fireball expanded at a speed surpassing sound, enveloping the midsection of the destroyer fleet in a silent and stillness. With a diameter exceeding 2 kilometers, the fireball brought darkness to the fleet.

The supersonic shockwave, surpassing the speed of sound, rushed in all directions amidst the silence. Within a radius of 4 kilometers, it would inflict devastating blows to all vessels, killing 90% of the personnel inside.

However, these shockwaves were too slow.

Compared to Godzilla’s breath, they were too slow.

Godzilla’s breath is not a momentary attack, and its impact is not limited to a single location.

Turning its head, Godzilla used the impact point as a reference and turned to the right.

Several massive fireballs simultaneously rose, indicating the impact of its breath on solid objects. The rising of each fireball represented the disappearance of a section of the fleet and the loss of lives.

The wall of fire, several kilometers high and still rising, broke through the atmosphere like a towering wall of flame, standing over the entire sea, enveloping the entire fleet.

The sea reacted belatedly as the fireballs exploded, and waves dozens of meters high spread outward along with the shockwave, beyond the area covered by the explosion.

They formed a towering water wall, engulfing the blown-away ships, the melting metal fragments, and the remains of some individuals reduced to mere debris, spreading in all directions.

If people witnessed such enormous waves on any other day, they would undoubtedly be astonished. But in this place, at this moment, these waves were insignificant compared to the wall of fire that tore through the sky.

Hundreds of kilometers away, people in Tokyo Bay who hadn’t had time to evacuate looked at the wall of fire on the horizon, brighter and hotter than the sun, and had countless words in their hearts, but in the end, no one spoke.

It wasn’t just Tokyo Bay or the Far East region; the whole world fell into silence as they watched this scene.

The battle between Godzilla and the Indian Ocean fleet was being broadcast live globally, and people had expected to witness their victory.

But the result was…

“Side Mission: Mercy of the Monster King (Completed).”

[Reward: One evolutionary upgrade for the power system. Would you like to use it now?]

The wall of fire separated the two skies and consumed everything, like a punishment the Almighty delivered to Sodom and Gomorrah.

The wall of fire was awe-inspiring, but its creator didn’t have much feeling about it.

Compared to this wall of fire, what it cared more about was completing the mission.

Now all the fleets of the smaller entities have been destroyed.

Godzilla, back underwater, looked at the mission prompt on its control panel and felt the damage to its breath fusion reactor.

Ah, the breath fusion reactor won’t be usable for a few days…

Did this high-power breath cause extraordinary damage to its breath fusion reactor?

Feeling the damage, Godzilla wasted too much time for the first time, stretching what should have taken one or two minutes to twelve or twenty minutes.

As a result, the breath reactor, which originally wouldn’t have suffered significant damage, is now completely scrapped and impossible to repair without a certain amount of time.

Should it evolve first underwater before going ashore?

After thinking about it, Godzilla decided to go ashore directly.

After all, human weapons cannot severely harm it, and even though it can’t use the breath reactor for its breath, it can still use the life-sustaining reactor.

The life-sustaining reactor can sustain a limit of 3 to 5 terawatts, and using it for breath attacks, although it may not reach the level of paralyzing a city with a single strike, would still be more than enough to destroy a city block.

There is still plenty of fuel inside it, and with a breath of 3 to 5 terawatts, it can spew out tens of thousands of attacks, at least without affecting its own movement.

These breath attacks should be more than enough to level a city.

With that in mind, Godzilla swam towards Tokyo.

Naturally, its memories included all the information about humans, including details about their habitats and even information about countries.

Tokyo, the largest human settlement in the sea region where Godzilla resided. If it wanted to drive humans out, starting here would be a good choice.

Swinging its tail, Godzilla advanced underwater, feeling comfortable on the surface without humans.

A few surviving nuclear submarines located several nautical miles away launched torpedoes.

Aren’t they running away?

Feeling the attacks from the remaining submarines on sonar, Godzilla was somewhat surprised. It thought all these small entities had fled.

Its entire fleet was destroyed with a single blow? Even such a saturation attack couldn’t harm me?

You have no chance of winning anymore, so why not run away and wait for an opportunity?

That’s what it thought, then it evaded the torpedoes launched by the submarines. Godzilla no longer had the power for a superpowered breath attack, and it didn’t have a new mission to annihilate the military.

In that case… I won’t chase after you.

Mainly because it was impossible to pursue them underwater.

Its cruising speed was only about 40 knots, and underwater, it couldn’t catch up to the submarines created by these small entities.

If it can’t chase them, then it won’t.

After thinking for a moment, Godzilla ignored the submarines ahead and headed straight for Tokyo.

It increased its speed to the maximum, and six hours later, Godzilla landed in Tokyo Bay.

Under the twilight sky, Godzilla’s towering body made the world tremble.
