Chapters 507, 930, and 931: The Unexpected Interventions of [King Kong] and [Godzilla]

"marvelous!!"

"General Pantecost, congratulations, the plan to lure the enemy has succeeded..."

When the first Titan Hunter mech, the Rodan, appeared over a coastline somewhere along the Pacific Ocean and engaged in an air-sea chase with the relentlessly pursuing Tail-Tachi, the staff in the command room of the Shattered Dome Base burst into a long-suppressed cheer!

Steker Pantecost secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no way around it; despite his previous confident demeanor, he actually had very little confidence in this hastily devised plan to lure the enemy.

Compared to the Kaiju, which excels at underwater combat, of the five Titan Hunter mechs deployed this time, apart from the Quetzalcoatl, the other four are not well-suited for underwater warfare.

Therefore, long before the plan was put into action, Steker Pentecost had already prepared himself for the possibility of losing one or two Titan Hunter mechs during the execution of the plan.

It was precisely because of this consideration that he overruled objections and did not send out the most powerful ship, the Ghidorah, but instead chose to stay behind and provide mobile support later.

After all, whether in terms of the mech's strength or the price paid for the wreckage, the Ghidorah was several times more expensive than the other five mechs.

Stark Pentecost had come to regard the Ghidorah as his lifeblood and would not tolerate any mishap to it...

However, perhaps blessed by Lady Luck, this mission to lure the enemy went exceptionally smoothly... no, it was miraculously accomplished!
Five level 4 to 5 Kaiju, under the deliberate luring of five Titan Hunter mechs, successfully chased all the way from the abyss to the vicinity of the continental shelf area where the water is less than 100 meters deep.

The opportunity for the PPDC organization has finally arrived!
"Right now! Activate the ultra-high-definition battlefield recorder and broadcast live all the battles between the Titan Hunter mechs and the Kaiju from every angle..."

Steker Pentecost clenched his fist and slammed it against the edge of the control panel. A desperate, crazed glint flashed in his slightly weary eyes as he spoke, each word distinct and deliberate:

"In this battle, I will show the whole world how the PPDC organization fights bloody battles to protect humanity's home..."

"I want everyone to see the unique and irreplaceable value of the [Titan Hunter Mech]!!"

"Yes, sir."

Almost instantly!

News channels and online platforms around the world... all media outlets that had been contacted in advance by the PPDC organization, regardless of what they were broadcasting before, all uniformly and forcefully switched to live footage from the battlefield along the Pacific coast.

In the screen:
The [Roton] soared through the sky with its pair of giant wings flapping, raging with each flap of its wings, engaging in an extreme air-to-air battle with the [Tailed Rat], which was rapidly gliding across the sea below and occasionally spewing out a stream of highly toxic acid into the sky!

The Abaddon, Quetzalcoatl, Scylla, and the MUTO were engaged in a primal battle of strength with the other four Kaiju that had just been lured ashore in the shallow waters.

These five life-or-death battles between mechs and alien behemoths are visually stunning!
It instantly ignited the passion of audiences worldwide.

As Steker Pantecost watched the soaring global ratings and the flood of praise on the big screen, a relieved smile finally appeared on his usually tense, dark face.

His plan... succeeded!

The PPDC organization, which has suffered from exclusion and suppression since its inception, has finally ushered in its moment of glory today, winning a brilliant comeback!

He became increasingly convinced that the moment the five Kaiju on the coastline were wiped out by the Titan Hunter Mech Squad, the name of the PPDC organization would resound throughout the world!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Serizawa Ichiro standing beside him with a hint of smugness.

See? That's what professionalism is.

This is called professionalism!!
Just then, Dr. Newton Geizler asked somewhat eagerly, "Sir, the Ranger pilots are asking if we should use the [Pym Particles] immediately to eliminate those [Kaiju]?!"

"..."

Strick Pantecost narrowed his eyes, first glancing at the mechs and behemoths engaged in fierce battle on the large screen, then glancing at the online viewership and support data being fed back in real time from various media platforms, before resolutely shaking his head and saying:

Tell them to hold on a little longer!

Then, as if afraid of being misunderstood by others, or as if to calm his own nervousness, he continued to explain:
"If we easily take down these Kaiju, we probably won't leave a lasting impression on the world, so now is not the time..."

This wasn't because Steker Pantecost was particularly fond of showing off, but rather because he knew deep down how difficult it would be to surpass the powerful impression that the [Subspace Group] had left in the world's mind.

If you show an overwhelming advantage too early, you may win some applause, but you will not leave a lasting impression.

There's no way around it, because the same rescue plot has been repeated too many times in both King Kong and Godzilla, and it's nothing new to the 'audience'.

Therefore, if he wants to turn the tide, he will have to find a different way this time.

So Steker Pentecost came up with the idea of ​​playing the emotional card—that is, to use the fierce battle to demonstrate the unwavering determination and fearless fighting spirit of the PPDC organization in order to maintain human survival and the safety of the city.

For this, we would not hesitate to risk serious injury to some of the Titan Hunter Mechs!

"Yes, sir."

Dr. Newton Geizler nodded as if he understood, and then relayed the order through the communicator.

"General Pantecost, it seems you were right..."

Serizawa Ichiro took the initiative to curry favor, his face showing the dejected expression befitting a loser, and sincerely praised:
"I am indeed not as good as you at seizing opportunities."

"Haha, Dr. Serizawa, don't be so modest, this is nothing at all..."

In high spirits, Steker Pantecost reached out his dark, large hand and patted Serizawa Ichiro on the shoulder. He seemed quite pleased with the other's initiative to 'lower his head' and immediately adopted a friendly, superior demeanor. Just as he was about to praise him, he suddenly heard a gasp from the side.

"Sir, radar scans are showing an anomaly. There appears to be a high-energy creature approaching the battlefield at an extremely high speed in the sky..."

Dr. Newton Geizler, who had been intently watching the complex monitoring equipment, suddenly turned deathly pale. His voice trembled slightly with tension as he pointed at the screen in front of him and said:
"In addition, there is another high-energy creature that suddenly appeared near the Mariana Trench, which is also moving towards the Challenger Abyss at an alarming speed."

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Steker Pentecost was immediately startled. The smile on his face froze instantly, his heart felt as if it had been gripped by an invisible hand, and his breath caught in his throat. He almost roared as he gave the order:
"Start tracking immediately, lock onto the target... Get me the images of these two troublemakers!"

"Uh, sir, the one in the sky should be fine, but the one underwater..."

Newton Geizler didn't dare to be negligent at all, his hands clapping rapidly on the keyboard, then he shook his head with a slightly helpless expression and said: "I'm afraid the [Deep Sea Monitoring Array System] will need some time to analyze and simulate its images."

Steker Pantecost waved his hand and urged impatiently, "Then immediately pull up the image of that 'intruder' in the air. I need to know whether it's friend or foe!"

After a while.

"The target satellite in the sky is attempting to acquire it... Great, lock successful, image is being transmitted..."

As soon as he spoke, Dr. Newton Geizler projected the corresponding image onto the large main screen in the command center. The blurry image captured by the satellite was rapidly magnified and gradually became clearer...

A colossal creature, its entire body covered by a blue symbiote, its muscles bulging like mountains, was flapping its massive wings and hurtling forward at a speed approaching Mach 1.

And from its enormous head, the only part not covered by the symbiote, it's easy to tell that it is none other than King Kong, known to the world as the Ape God!

Although it is just a silent image, the pair of blue giant wings behind King Kong, with a wingspan of at least two hundred meters, seem to contain immense power with each flap, sending a chill down your spine even through the screen.

“Fu*k?!!”

Steker Pantecost suddenly felt a bit off, as if he had been hit hard in the face. He staggered back a step and almost bumped into Serizawa Ichiro, who was equally stunned and whose face turned as pale as paper.

An anger and chilling fear of being utterly fooled and outmaneuvered instantly overwhelmed his newly risen ambitions.

If the 'invader' in the sky is King Kong, then the 'invader' in the ocean... needless to say, is most likely Godzilla, right?!

Steker Pentecost's face grew increasingly grim. After forcibly regaining his balance, he disregarded any potential loss of composure and roared in the command room:
"Can anyone tell me why King Kong and Godzilla are here?"

"【Subspace Group】...No, what exactly does Karl Mara want to do?!"

The command room fell into a deathly silence.

Nobody knows how to answer that question.

Even if they knew, most wouldn't dare to stand up at such a time.

"Sir..."

At this moment, Dr. Newton Geizler turned his head and said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Based on the trajectory calculations just provided by the Deep-Sea Monitoring Array System, it seems that King Kong and that giant beast underwater... uh, that is, Godzilla, are both targeting... the area where the wormhole is located!"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Steker Pantecost was taken aback, and a feeling of relief, as if he had survived a disaster, unconsciously arose in his heart.

Phew, thankfully King Kong and Godzilla weren't here to mess with those Kaiju...

But he immediately realized what was happening, and an uncontrollable anger flashed across his face. "Wait, what are they trying to do at the [wormhole]?"

"Wait a minute, they...they wouldn't be trying to destroy the wormhole, would they?"

……

While the world's attention was drawn to the intense 'mecha-monster battle' unfolding near the coastline, beneath the noise and chaos, in the absolutely desolate area of ​​the abyss thousands of meters deep, an even more deadly hunt was quietly taking place.

Challenger's Abyss.

The edge of the pitch-black area where the wormhole is located.

The level 4 Kaiju, codenamed "White Serpent," lay quietly in the silt of the seabed, its compound eyes, gleaming with a pale blue light, warily scanning the surrounding darkness.

suddenly!

The White Serpent's massive, mountain-like body suddenly stiffened, its head, covered in thick bone plates, turned towards the dark area behind it, and a low, rapid hiss, filled with a strong warning, escaped its throat, carrying through the ripples of the water into the distance.

But that wasn't a pre-battle demonstration or roar; it was... a cry for help!

It is a warning stemming from the instinct of life, a warning against the incomprehensible terror.

However, just as the White Serpent let out its cry, a sudden change occurred!
A massive, deep blue, muscular arm shot out without warning from the darkness where the White Serpent was watching.

The length of that arm clearly defied all known physical principles, stretching wildly like rubber at a speed exceeding the resistance of the deep sea.

At the end of the arm, a huge hand covered with the same deep blue symbiotic skin, carrying an aura of destruction that could tear everything apart, gripped the [White Serpent]'s thick neck, protected by heavy bone armor, with unparalleled precision, like an iron clamp.

Cluck-cluck—!
The sickening sound of bones cracking echoed dully through the deep sea.

Before the White Snake could even make a move to resist, the hissing in its throat abruptly stopped.

Its massive body, covered in hard bone armor, was dragged off the seabed by an irresistible and terrifying force emanating from that enormous arm.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the darkness.

It was none other than King Kong, whose entire body was covered in the [A02 Symbiote Suit]!
However, at this moment, King Kong's form had changed from the previous 'flying form' to the 'diving form'.

The huge wings on its back have long since disappeared, replaced by fins that make it easier to move at high speeds underwater.

Since acquiring the Symbiote Suit, which was modified from a Symbiote, King Kong has been able to easily overcome all the disadvantages of being unskilled in water combat and unable to breathe underwater.

Even the terrifying water pressure at a depth of 10,000 meters is not a problem for it at all.

The [A02 Symbiotic Suit]'s properties give [King Kong] a gill-like filtration structure, allowing it to continuously extract oxygen underwater.

However, unlike King Kong, Godzilla, who accompanied him, did not have such troubles at all.

Because underwater is where the real home turf of the Goth!
