Godzilla Earth: Origin - Book 1: Chapter 26: Tearing Apart Submarines

The flames of nuclear fusion erupted from its mouth.

The ignited nuclear fuel surged out under the magnetic field created by Godzilla.

In an instant, they illuminated the entire Mariana Trench, completely lighting up the pitch-black ocean that had never seen a glimmer of light for millions of years.

The flames of fusion progressed and expanded. As they expanded, they pushed forward, engulfing the countless sea mines above Godzilla.

The sea mines were devoured by the plasma bubble hundreds of meters in diameter, instantly igniting upon entering it due to the extremely high temperature, causing explosions within the bubble.

The pitch-black depths of the deep sea were continuously illuminated by the ion spheres, as Godzilla ceased its breath, but the ion spheres continued to expand.

Occasionally, they would shrink and then expand again, shrink and then expand.

Boom!

With several consecutive contractions and expansions, the plasma sphere hundreds of meters in diameter exploded, sucking in the surrounding seawater.

Countless sea mines were drawn together with the seawater, gathering in the trench.

Subsequently, Godzilla unleashed its atomic breath once again, obliterating the multitude of sea mines that had been sucked into the depths of the sea floor.

With tremendous explosions and another scorching bubble, the threat above Godzilla was completely eliminated.

Swinging its body, Godzilla confidently floated in the high-temperature seawater.

“Eighty-nine percent of the sea mines have lost their response, suspected to be destroyed by Godzilla…”

The fleet, positioned 30 nautical miles away from Godzilla, maintained a surveillance perimeter. All personnel at different levels watched the data on their panels, ready to report any fluctuations immediately.

Commander Chester sat in the center of the command room, observing Godzilla emerging from the deep sea, and issued orders:

“Send the nuclear submarines and unmanned submersibles to intercept it. Don’t stay too far away and lure it into using its breath.”

“Yes!”

The main fleet, aware of Godzilla’s awakening, began the interception operation 30 nautical miles away.

In the depths of the ocean, hundreds of unmanned submersibles and nuclear submarines approached Godzilla, who was ascending to the surface. Their mission was to provoke Godzilla into using its breath as much as possible in the deep sea.

Godzilla’s overall energy was limited, which meant its breath was also limited. By depleting its energy in the sea, its destructive power would be significantly reduced on land.

This was the mission of the navy, considered the most dangerous branch, to exhaust Godzilla’s breath as much as possible before it reached the shore.

From a distance, Godzilla, rapidly ascending from the deep sea, detected the unwelcome visitors approaching. It abandoned the idea of reaching the ocean surface and instead approached the nuclear submarine formation head-on, seeking a direct confrontation.

The nuclear submarines, together with the unmanned submersibles, launched heavy torpedoes, forming a dense firepower network in front of Godzilla.

However, Godzilla showed no fear. It still had more targets to strike, and these attacks were just what it needed.

“Boom!”

Countless torpedoes exploded in front of Godzilla, but it remained unfazed. It pressed forward, undeterred by the explosions, heading towards the submarine fleet.

Meanwhile, as Godzilla approached closer and closer, the leading nuclear submarines and unmanned submersible units began to retreat at full speed.

Only a portion of the unmanned submersibles remained within the range of Godzilla’s charged breath, engaging in interference tactics.

Rather than retreating at full speed, they maintained a relatively stable position relative to Godzilla, conducting attacks.

They positioned themselves where an ordinary breath couldn’t reach but only a charged breath could hit.

So, the humans want me to use that move?

Godzilla saw through the humans’ strategy.

It knew what the humans were thinking—hoping it would use a charged attack to strike those unmanned submersibles and deplete its own stamina.

Really, couldn’t they just engage in a direct confrontation with me? Why do they keep evading?

With these thoughts, an unusual phenomenon occurred on Godzilla’s body.

Water began spontaneously rushing towards its back, creating a powerful reactive force that propelled Godzilla to accelerate continuously.

50 knots, 60 knots, 70 knots… and up to 100 knots, Godzilla kept accelerating through the water.

If you don’t want to come find me, then I’ll come find you.

With a hundred different skills, this is the magnetic fluid propulsion.

Amplifying its regular power, Godzilla manipulated the magnetic field to propel the surrounding seawater, continuously accelerating itself.

Using the magnetic field to propel the water around its body backward, it gained acceleration from the reactive force.

At this moment, Godzilla’s speed exceeded 150 knots!

This already surpassed the speed of the most advanced human nuclear submarines.

Under the influence of magnetic fluid propulsion, its massive body became exceptionally fast as Godzilla charged towards the unmanned submersibles that were kiting it.

The unmanned submersible teams, which were initially synchronized with Godzilla’s speed, were now far too slow to evade in time.

The aquatic behemoth parted the water currents and swiftly crashed into the formation of unmanned submersibles. It then opened its mouth and unleashed its atomic breath.

“Boom!!!”

A massive water column several hundred meters high rose from the sea, and at the top of the column, one could faintly see the wreckage of the unmanned submersibles through the seawater.

The first team of unmanned submersibles was completely annihilated.

After wiping out the entire first team of submersibles, Godzilla advanced towards the main submarine fleet.

“Godzilla’s speed… Godzilla’s speed has reached 100, no, 150 knots! It’s heading towards the nuclear submarine group!”

In the distant command center, everyone stared in disbelief at Godzilla’s performance, which far exceeded its previous speed.

Their original plan was to use the kite strategy, luring Godzilla into attacking with unmanned submersibles in shallow waters.

But now, Godzilla’s speed had far surpassed that of the submarines.

How can we kite this?

Chester, the overall fleet commander, couldn’t help but recall Professor Andre’s words upon witnessing the situation.

Infinite evolution…

“What’s the distance between the main submarine fleet and Godzilla?!”

“It’s currently 7, 6 nautical miles!”

“Have them all disperse and let the unmanned submersibles surround Godzilla to attract its attention! If necessary, abandon the submarines and escape using the escape pods!”

“Abandon the submarines?”

“Yes, and have the fleet move away and disperse from Godzilla, the farther, the better.”

Abandoning the unmanned submersibles to ensure the safety of the nuclear submarines.

That was the decision made by Commander Chester, just like any responsible commander would do—it was the best choice at the moment.

However, they were unaware that Godzilla was not buying into this plan.

Completely ignoring the harassment from the unmanned submersibles, Godzilla stirred the ocean with unimaginable speed.

It submerged into deeper waters, rapidly approaching a nuclear-powered submarine that was firing torpedoes beside it.

Then, it grabbed the hull of the nuclear-powered submarine with its two hands, its claws piercing through several tens of centimeters of steel plates.

With a powerful tug, Godzilla tore the over 100-meter-long nuclear submarine into two halves.

Boom!

As the torpedoes exploded, the nuclear submarine vanished entirely into the depths of the sea.
