Godzilla Earth: Origin - Book 1: Chapter 27: Repeated Breath Attacks

Amidst the explosion of the nuclear submarine, Godzilla let go of the wreckage and accelerated toward the positions of other submarines.

Similarly, Godzilla ignored the unmanned submersibles along the way and withstood their firepower, destroying the remaining few nuclear submarines.

Only after that did it turn its attention to the unmanned submersibles and launch an attack.

Underwater explosions occurred one after another, and within just a few minutes, both submarine fleets in the two oceans were annihilated by Godzilla.

Although no one had hoped that the submarine fleet could inflict significant damage on Godzilla, the fact that they were wiped out in such a short time…

It was too swift.

As they watched Godzilla’s actions, the majority of the people in the command center fell into a strange silence.

It recognizes us, recognizes the presence of human submarines.

It possesses memory, thoughts, and its intelligence might be no less than ours.

Not only in sheer power but perhaps even in intelligence, humans might not be able to overcome this colossal beast.

Since humans are unable to overcome Godzilla in various aspects, what can they rely on? Quantity? Then why aren’t ants the dominant species on Earth?

As they contemplated this, a sense of despair began to spread, until Commander Chester shouted at them:

“What are you fools standing around for? Quickly check how many escape pods have been deployed! So what if it’s intelligent? It’s still our enemy. Do you think it will spare us if we don’t fight back?”

“One! Two! Three! Move!”

“Number one! Tell me how many escape pods have surfaced from the depths of the sea?”

“Yes, Mr. Chester. A total of 78 escape pods have surfaced, but it’s likely that 70% of the people have perished in the sea…”

“Send their locations to headquarters for handling. Number four, tell me the extent of the fleet’s dispersion.”

“Yes, sir. Our fleet is currently an average distance of 34 nautical miles away from Godzilla… The ships at all levels are steadily moving away from Godzilla.”

The command center became lively once again, which relieved Chester a bit.

If these young recruits couldn’t muster their fighting spirit in such a situation, their navy would truly be finished.

But Godzilla’s threat still loomed before them. If one command went wrong, it wouldn’t only be their navy that would be done for.

Godzilla, what are you exactly?

…

After reducing the submarines that had been bothering it underwater to scrap metal, Godzilla resurfaced and emerged above the sea.

Its dorsal fin broke through the ocean surface, and its head extended above the water as Godzilla slowly swam in the direction of the Far East Island.

It reduced its speed to only 50 knots, no longer moving at the high speeds of over 150 knots as before.

Godzilla didn’t continue to chase the fleet; it simply moved toward the Far East Island.

The human fleets were far away from itself, each separated by dozens of nautical miles, unlike the nuclear submarines that were close to it.

If it were to destroy each of them one by one, it didn’t know how much time it would take.

They couldn’t fight back, but as long as they scattered and fled, it would greatly consume their energy.

Humans always disliked direct confrontation, but it was understandable.

Their bodies were not suited for head-on combat.

No longer paying attention to the fleets dozens of nautical miles away, Godzilla leisurely proceeded toward the Far East Island after destroying the nuclear submarine formation.

And when humans saw that Godzilla wasn’t attacking them, they became extremely anxious.

They had come to provoke Godzilla into attacking!

But now, Godzilla ignored them and allowed their attacks to hit, without retaliating at all.

Of course, for Godzilla, basking in the open air was a pleasure, so it had no intention to retaliate.

Humans could only watch as Godzilla swaggered forward on the surface of the sea. Yes, Godzilla’s speed had decreased, and it was no longer pursuing them.

However, at this moment, they would rather Godzilla’s speed hadn’t decreased and that it was still attacking them.

“Have the escort ships enter the dangerous range of Godzilla’s breath in batches. Evacuate all personnel before entering and send in unmanned vessels.”

In this situation, Chester issued an order to sacrifice ships in exchange for a blast of Godzilla’s atomic breath.

Trading an unmanned vessel for a blast of Godzilla’s charged breath was worth it.

An escort ship moved forward from the periphery, approaching a distance of 15 nautical miles behind Godzilla. People on the ship were preparing to evacuate using transport aircraft.

Just as they were preparing to leave, Godzilla turned its head.

Before anyone could react, a flash of atomic light passed, and the intensely hot breath instantly condensed into a scorching flame storm in the atmosphere.

This was not an attack that stored immense power; it was just an ordinary breath.

Therefore, when this flame storm reached a distance of 15 nautical miles, it had lost the ability to destroy human-made steel vessels.

However, its accompanying high temperatures easily incinerated the humans on board the transport planes.

The just-taken-off transport planes were enveloped by the high temperatures, temperatures that could not melt steel but could scorch human bodies.

Transport planes, devoid of pilots and passengers, fell from the sky one after another, plunging into the sea.

In the distance, the command center, witnessing all of this, fell into silence for the second time.

It saw through this plan.

“Mr. Chester… Should we continue?” the messenger asked Chester after a period of silence, and Chester, straightening his military cap, issued his command:

“Continue, this time let the people disembark 20 nautical miles away.”

The second disembarkation was normal. Godzilla did not unleash its breath when they left, but it was the same.

It also did not unleash its breath on the unmanned vessels, even though they had entered its regular range.

Godzilla was well aware of what mattered most to humans.

As for the ships, with industrial robots, people didn’t need to worry about their consumption.

What truly mattered was humans themselves.

Ships could be rebuilt, but people familiar with the navy took a long time to regenerate.

Godzilla roamed freely in the sea, only unleashing its breath to annihilate the entire swarm of drones when they were most dense.

“Let the people disembark 17 nautical miles away.”

A new command indeed brought about Godzilla’s strike, just like the first time.

The warship remained, but the soldiers on board were completely wiped out.

In front, Godzilla’s figure undoubtedly became a demon in the eyes of humans.

However, Godzilla, as a monster, didn’t care at all about the thoughts of humans.

Moving forward, the fleet probed Godzilla’s attack range while advancing alongside it.

From high above, they looked like a group of little things guarding their king. However, their king seemed unfriendly towards them.

They were the same in return.

The monster and the fleet moved forward together. After 15 hours, the far eastern land once again appeared before Godzilla’s eyes.

Godzilla made its third landing!
