Godzilla Earth: Origin - Book 1: Chapter 35: Nagoya-Osaka Operation Annihilation (8)

This time, Godzilla’s forward speed was much slower compared to its previous “sprint.”

However, Godzilla’s enormous weight still caused the earth to tremble with every step it took.

The closest railgun to itself had been dealt with, leaving three remaining.

The shortest route to eliminate them was… this one.

Godzilla traversed through the jungle of steel and concrete, smashing buildings along its path. Every step caused the ground around it to shake.

The concrete beneath its feet cracked inch by inch under Godzilla’s weight. Regardless of the buildings in its path, Godzilla ignored them all, plowing through tall skyscrapers and low-lying houses.

Godzilla rampaged through the city, destroying everything that stood in its way, leaving behind a landscape of ruins.

As the buildings collapsed and skyscrapers crumbled, the three railguns located dozens of kilometers away once again locked onto Godzilla, guided by satellites.

The three railguns charged simultaneously, releasing over 10 billion watt-hours of electricity at this moment. Each railgun reached its operational limit, surpassing the designed power capacity of 200 million watt-hours per shot.

And now? Each of these railguns used over 3.5 billion watt-hours, or even more.

They were pushing their limits.

Vast amounts of electricity traveled through the superconducting rails, generating far more lightning arcs between the rails than in the previous shot. As the armatures accelerated, the three railguns fired unprecedentedly powerful shots.

Nearly 12 billion watt-hours of electrical energy propelled the projectiles. This time, the 10-ton shells were accelerated to speeds exceeding Mach 60, surpassing the velocity of anything else on this planet and piercing through the atmosphere!

The three railguns blew away all obstacles in their path, and the immense recoil even caused the bases of these several-million-ton railgun installations to tilt significantly backward.

Along the trajectory of the projectiles, every building in their path was obliterated by the unimaginable shockwaves generated at Mach 60 hypersonic speeds.

They were like three spears capable of piercing through everything in the world, crossing a distance of 60 kilometers in just 3 seconds, vowing to pierce through Godzilla.

In just 3 seconds, Godzilla would be hit. And within such a short time, it wouldn’t even have time to gather energy to jump!

So how could Godzilla avoid these three railgun shots?

“Roar!”

A purple breath surged forth, directly targeting the railgun closest to it.

At the same time, Godzilla lowered its body, evading the trajectory of the railgun to the north!

Learning from the previous experience, Godzilla’s breath didn’t hit the flames behind it like before.

However, it also didn’t hit the advancing projectiles; instead, it plunged into a cluster of buildings several kilometers ahead.

“Boom!”

A fireball rose, engulfing everything in its surroundings. Everything fell into silence.

“Bang…”

After a long time, a massive tail dispersed the smoke and dust from the explosion, revealing Godzilla’s figure.

Did it get hit?

The explosion from its breath had deviated the trajectory of the railgun closest to it, and the second railgun had evaded the trajectory, but the third…

Compared to its previous state, Godzilla now had a deep indentation on its right shoulder. From the outside, the end of the electromagnetic railgun barrel created by humans could still be seen within the indentation.

It had been hit on the right arm.

The 5-meter-long electromagnetic projectile was completely embedded, with a depth of at least 6 meters and a diameter of the indentation of at least 12 meters!

This power was many times stronger than the previous railgun strike.

But for Godzilla, this injury was manageable.

A 7-meter depth might look terrifying, but Godzilla’s shoulders were over a hundred meters wide, and the 6-meter depth only grazed its muscles.

If a few high-powered railgun shots were enough to repel Godzilla, humans wouldn’t need to fear it.

Although the injury wasn’t significant, it was still damage. In its weakened self-healing state, Godzilla resisted being hit.

Stretching its arm, Godzilla continued its advance toward the remaining three railguns, aiming to eliminate them completely.

The human railguns were now overheated and unable to fire another shot in a short period due to the previous overload.

The superconducting rails used for launching were fine, but the non-superconducting parts had issues, with many of the connecting capacitors’ wires experiencing short circuits, requiring urgent repairs.

Underneath the railguns, the people were scrambling to maintain humanity’s only weapon. Due to Godzilla’s powerful electromagnetic pulse (EMP) emitted during its breath, conventional robots couldn’t be used, and only humans were capable of maintaining the railguns.

They were the only humans who hadn’t retreated from the frontlines against Godzilla. Previously, there were two groups, but the other group of frontline commanders had been destroyed by Godzilla a few hours ago.

Now, only they remained on the frontline.

Nearly ten thousand people on the frontline were repairing the three anti-Godzilla cannons. It would take some time, but Godzilla wouldn’t give them that time.

With immense energy stored within, Godzilla’s breath pierced through the sky, heading toward the direction of the remaining anti-Godzilla cannon.

“Dodge! Dodge!”

Someone shouted, and all the personnel who were repairing immediately abandoned their work and ran towards the nearest cover, but it was of no use.

Because Godzilla’s breath had already transformed into an all-encompassing firestorm halfway through its advance.

With temperatures surpassing a thousand degrees, reaching hundreds of meters in height and width, the roaring heat engulfed every building, submerging all houses.

The speed of the firestorm was much slower than when it was concentrated, but it still reached a staggering speed of a hundred meters per second, swallowing everything in its path in silence, ultimately devouring the entire railgun.

Perhaps the temperature was not enough to destroy the railgun itself and the capacitive wires enclosed within the sealed facility, but for the people outside, it exceeded their endurance by far.

People were covered in flames, railguns were covered in flames, and another turret ceased to function.

Perhaps there was no need to destroy the turrets; killing the operators controlling them would suffice.

Realizing this, Godzilla didn’t continue towards the remaining functional railgun. Instead, it moved towards the other two railguns.

At this point, the situation in Nagoya had already reached its end. The two remaining railguns in Osaka were incapable of inflicting any significant damage on Godzilla.

Continuing the fight would only be a waste of lives.

Sato understood this fact very well.

At this moment, the Eastern Headquarters in Osaka issued a retreat order to the soldiers stationed at the two railguns.

This marked the official loss of Nagoya.

Godzilla rampaged through the partially destroyed Nagoya, using its breath to continue destroying everything in its surroundings.

It painted the world red and set the world ablaze.

“Let it be destroyed.”

“Now that it’s thoroughly destroyed, it’s time to go back.”

In the Osaka command center, Sato Hirozumi muttered as he watched the screen displaying Godzilla’s destructive figure.
