Godzilla Earth: Origin - Book 1: Chapter 52: Success and Failure

“Fire!”

Sato couldn’t have imagined that, in the very end, they would still get an opportunity.

Just as Godzilla was about to leave the mountainous area, positioned at the final sniper spot.

Humanity seized its last chance!

…

On a supersonic airliner departing from the Far East, Sato, seated in the first-class cabin, watched the projection of the final soldiers on the cabin’s screen. He didn’t know what he was thinking.

This was the end.

A little over ten minutes ago, due to the complete defeat of the operation forces, Sato declared the failure of this mission to the entire world. The global live broadcast of the operation came to an end.

Following the arrangement after the mission failure.

The remaining military personnel would head to Hokkaido’s first airport and take the last remaining supersonic airliner to the East Asia region. They would conduct the operational report, serving as data for the construction of the new East Asian coastal defense line.

Sato and his team boarded the latest aircraft bound for East Asia. During this journey, they continued to monitor Godzilla’s movements using satellites.

Other prominent figures might not have time to watch Godzilla, but these soldiers still had to. At the very least, they needed to witness its destruction of the Far East.

With this in mind, the operational satellites kept running. Then, Sato and his team witnessed an unexpected event.

A transport plane that was still flying, still heading towards Godzilla’s location.

It was leaping over the mountains, advancing toward Godzilla.

No one knew why the transport plane, which had been shown as damaged just a little over ten minutes ago, suddenly restarted after the mission failure.

No one knew why its timing was so fortuitous, arriving in front of Godzilla just as it was about to exit the final sniper point.

No one knew why Godzilla’s breath didn’t destroy it.

However, these details no longer mattered.

Because one thing was certain.

Right now, they were indeed standing in front of Godzilla.

The transport plane that had flown in from behind the mountains rushed towards Godzilla. In the command room, everyone’s eyes were filled with disbelief as the plane crashed into Godzilla.

Of course, it didn’t actually crash into Godzilla.

Godzilla had already aimed at it before it arrived.

Its breath pierced through the atmosphere, kilometers away, completely disintegrating the transport plane.

The transport plane didn’t crash into Godzilla, but it gave humanity an opportunity.

Is it now…?

Just as Godzilla aimed at the transport plane, in the cabin, the observing personnel who were broadcasting live sent the signal to fire, prompting the electromagnetic railgun to fire again.

“Fire!”

Faster than Godzilla’s breath, just a second after the blue light emitted from Godzilla’s mouth. The electromagnetic railgun on the outskirts of the city in Hokkaido, having stored up energy from the previous shot, erupted at the fastest speed!

The transport plane, now connected to the network, obtained its path of movement and a series of future position data. The electromagnetic railgun finally fired.

Dozens of kilometers away, in the absence of human surveillance and maintenance, the electromagnetic railgun unleashed its maximum brilliance!

Lightning pierced the atmosphere, all capacitors working at maximum power in this moment!

Even if they melted or were completely destroyed in the next shot, it didn’t matter!

Everything about the electromagnetic railgun was launched at this moment with the greatest, strongest, and fastest force.

80 kilometers, 2 seconds.

The projectile rushed toward Godzilla’s throat at a speed never seen before, just as Godzilla was targeting the transport plane, while simultaneously, Godzilla’s breath was about to be unleashed!

1.1 seconds after the projectile was fired.

Godzilla’s breath was unleashed.

1.4 seconds.

The breath hit the transport plane directly.

1.8 seconds.

Godzilla’s breath power began to decrease.

2.0 seconds.

The operation…

“Boom!!!”

Success!!!

At the moment when Godzilla was still releasing its breath, a projectile from the electromagnetic railgun, traveling at over a hundred times the speed of sound, entered Godzilla’s mouth at a perfect angle.

Even Godzilla itself didn’t realize it – this super electromagnetic railgun projectile exploded inside its mouth, causing a momentary imbalance in Godzilla’s breath! It broke free from the magnetic field’s constraints!

Godzilla’s breath exploded within its oral cavity!

From Godzilla’s mouth, from every hole on its head, countless flames surged outward. It ignited within its own body, causing its breath to detonate.

“Boom!!!”

The second explosion! This was the sound of Godzilla’s breath detonating within Godzilla’s body. Now, Godzilla couldn’t contain its own sound any longer!

Finally, not only the holes on Godzilla’s head but even the skin on its head started to crack.

…

Explosion!

A sun burst out from inside Godzilla’s head!

“We did it…”

Inside the cabin, everyone was somewhat incredulous.

Like something out of a dream, they had completed the operation, brought to a finish by a sudden and battered transport plane that intruded after Godzilla had annihilated all the operation forces.

“We actually succeeded…”

Even Sato himself hadn’t expected that, in the end, they would actually succeed in this operation.

“What’s the situation with Godzilla?”

He asked the observer, and the observer, just recovering from a daze, looked at Godzilla’s condition and exclaimed excitedly:

“Godzilla is silent! Godzilla’s head, its head has been completely blown apart!”

The cabin projected the scene, and now, at the third sniper point, the headless body of Godzilla stood quietly on the ground.

The current Godzilla had lost its head.

Its head was completely obliterated by its own breath; Godzilla was now utterly silent.

“We’ve won…?”

Incredulous expressions appeared on everyone’s faces.

Had they won? Had they really won? Had they actually defeated Godzilla!

“Notify the others!”

He quickly had the communicators contact the other world leaders who were no longer watching the live broadcast.

News of Godzilla’s death spread around the world at the fastest speed. The live satellite channel displayed the image of Godzilla’s lifeless body before all the high-ranking officials.

They had won? They had actually won?

Weren’t you the ones who informed us of the mission’s failure ten minutes ago? How come you’re succeeding now?

They were all perplexed, but regardless of whether they could understand it or not, Godzilla’s corpse was real, and they had indeed defeated Godzilla! Thanks to that plan!

“Have all television stations broadcast the satellite feed! In ten minutes, I want the whole world discussing it!”

Not just one ruler issued such an order; media organizations sprang into action at the fastest speed. All television screens switched to the satellite view of Godzilla’s lifeless body!

“Urgent news, according to our latest information…”

“This is a victory for humanity…”

“Godzilla is dead! The monster that threatened us has been vanquished!”

…

Everyone was reporting such news, broadcasting real-time satellite footage of Godzilla’s body, striving to share humanity’s great triumph with everyone.

People on the streets opened their phones, those at home turned on their computers, and even those in the midst of playing games logged out. Everyone wanted to see Godzilla’s lifeless body and witness humanity’s victory.

They tuned into the live broadcast, eagerly watching the streaming images.

And then, everyone saw it.

The reason why monsters were called monsters.
