Godzilla Earth: Origin - Book 2: Chapter 14: Breaking Through the Australian Defense Line!

Inside the Space Agency, staff members monitoring global satellite images were checking if the satellites had captured the thing they had been wary of.

It had been 35 days since Godzilla disappeared, and during these 35 days, no one in the world had seen Godzilla.

This made the World United Government uneasy, fearing that Godzilla might have evolved in some remote corner.

In the past, it had evolved a new reactor in just ten days. Now it had been 35 days, and no one had any idea how far Godzilla had grown.

So the World United Government urgently conscripted nearly all observation satellites to perform a blanket scan of the world, determined to find any trace of Godzilla as soon as possible.

And they succeeded.

Some drowsy staff members paused in their work when they checked an image. One of them muttered to himself, “No way,” “How is this possible?” as he wiped his eyes.

After confirming that his eyes were fine, he felt a bit weak.

“Hey, what’s this shadow, Jack? Come over and take a look at this.”

So he called others over to look, and together they saw that image.

“Hmm? Why did you call me over? Wait… this appearance… can’t be… Damn! It’s Godzilla! Godzilla has appeared!”

Ding, ding, ding, ding…

The emergency alarm sounded, quickly reaching the ears of people worldwide.

After 35 days of disappearance, Godzilla had reappeared.

…

Southeastern Australia was a region where mountains and plains alternated.

The terrain here was far more rugged than the few mountain ranges in Hokkaido, with vast mountain ranges reaching altitudes of over a thousand meters.

At the very tops of these mountains, enormous electromagnetic railguns were often constructed to defend the Australian homeland.

Hundreds of these railguns were evenly distributed throughout the eastern part of Australia, forming a military strike network far more rigorous than the one in the Far East.

In the skies above, thousands of spaceborne nuclear strike satellites armed with nuclear weapons were closely monitoring this area, ready to launch a saturation strike from space to destroy any incoming enemies.

This is a much more fortified defense line than the one in the Far East, one of the three largest defense lines ever built by humans, representing the true strength of humanity.

And now, Godzilla is about to crush this real power head-on.

With a colossal body of 400 meters, Godzilla breaks the surface of the sea and steps onto the land. Godzilla’s immense weight crushes the earth beneath its feet until its feet are completely submerged in the soil, reaching the bedrock.

With a weight of 14 million tons, Godzilla is like a moving mountain. Its blue eyes scan the horizon and the ground, and its tail sweeps over the ocean.

Was all this construction completed in just a few days? Humans are truly remarkable.

Godzilla can sense the electromagnetic railguns stationed on various mountain peaks ahead of it and the emergency repair teams around them. It seems that the people of Australia are ready to face it.

It’s only been six hours since its appearance, after all. Given the speed at which humans mobilize, it’s incredible that they’re prepared.

With that in mind, Godzilla takes a step forward, fully emerging from the shoreline and entering the inland. And at this moment, the real battle begins.

Six hours ago, the European Space Agency’s satellites detected Godzilla advancing toward the eastern sea of Australia.

It passed through the eastern islands of Australia, easily destroying the unmanned naval fleet that was sent to intercept it.

And it approached Australia at a speed that was neither too slow nor too fast.

The World United Government immediately notified the regional government of Australia upon seeing Godzilla’s appearance, urging them to evacuate the residents of Australia.

At the same time, they calculated just how much more powerful this new Godzilla was compared to the ones they had dealt with before.

They wanted to know how much stronger this Godzilla was compared to their previous adversaries.

After roughly comparing Godzilla’s size to the previous ones, the World United Government tentatively concluded that this Godzilla was nearly five times stronger than its predecessors.

If that’s all, they can still fight!

With this mindset, the World United Government not only ordered the evacuation of the Australian region citizen but also prepared to combat Godzilla in the remaining six hours.

They were going to defeat Godzilla in Australia!

Initially, some considered a saturation nuclear strike against Godzilla, who hadn’t yet approached Australia.

But considering the limited effectiveness of nuclear weapons against underwater targets, the World United Government decided to wait until Godzilla landed in Australia to maximize the impact.

And now is the time!

It’s humanity’s turn to defeat the god-like creature!

“Launch!”

At the command of the commander responsible for this operation, thousands of kilometers away, satellites launched the heavenly swords of humanity towards Godzilla, 300 kilometers above his head.

At the same time, hundreds of satellites simultaneously launched hundreds of nuclear weapons.

They descended from the outer atmosphere at 30 times the speed of sound, striking Godzilla, who had entered the Australian interior, with full force.

Countless nuclear bombs attacked Godzilla from all directions in the sky, and people stared wide-eyed, eager to see how their proud weapons would perform against this once again evolved monster.

Would it make them jubilant, or would it disappoint them?

“Zzzzzz—”

The answer is none of the above.

At the moment when nuclear bombs were launched into the sky, beams of light focused into lines from Godzilla’s dorsal fins and its tail, densely covering the entire sky in an instant at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second.

I’m not your target anymore, humans.

“Zzzzz—”

From the dorsal fins, millions of beams of light pierced the sky, and as Godzilla moved, the laser network on its back began to move as well, creating a crisscrossing defensive web in the sky.

The descending nuclear weapons were directly sliced apart by this laser web. They were cut in half in mid-air without time to react, resulting in chemical explosions and turning into a pile of metal debris in the sky.

Meanwhile, Godzilla’s tail also emitted high-energy beams, not aimed at the incoming nuclear weapons, but at the satellites in outer space launching nuclear bombs towards it.

Godzilla’s tail-mounted laser penetrated the atmosphere, reaching into space and directly shooting down the satellites!

This wasn’t the moment when humans defeated a god; it was the moment when Godzilla took down the stars!
