Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

Chapter 224 Mechagodzilla

Earth, island nation, Honshu Island.

Since the last century, North America has been destroyed in the aftermath of a battle between a Titan named Godzilla and a sudden extraterrestrial monster.

This place thus became one of the major gathering places for a large number of industrial professionals who survived.

Many survivors of the battle, which was described as a divine war, came here with their families and have brought tremendous improvements to the local electronics and industrial sectors over the decades.

Thanks to technological advancements, many large private technology companies have also chosen to locate their headquarters here.

This includes super conglomerates formed by capital groups that survived the disasters of North America in the last century.

The Astrophysical Group was a private consortium established by these survivors, and in this era it was known to the world as the last glory of North American capital.

At this very moment, beneath the headquarters of this conglomerate, which has absorbed many people and whose technology is supported by the United Government, a crucial test is taking place, one that concerns the fate of all mankind.

"Our masterpiece is enough to change the world, making monsters and titans, who are born with immense power and godlike status, bow down to us."

A middle-aged man, dressed in a well-tailored suit and with his blond hair meticulously styled, stared intently at the deep silhouette of the base beyond the transparent bulletproof glass, a hint of infatuation flashing in his eyes.

"This is the greatest masterpiece in human history, and the turning point in the destiny of mankind is today."

Below the floor-to-ceiling windows, uniformed staff members moved back and forth, methodically adjusting various equipment and devices.

Deep within the base, the most powerful weapon capable of changing the fate of humanity stands tall under the cold incandescent light, the light and the weapon's indicator lights outlining a deep and massive silhouette in the darkness.

It has a crocodile-like head, is entirely cast from alien alloys, has a steel body that is over two hundred meters long, a steel forest-like spine behind it, and a long tail that is hundreds of meters long, like a mixture of a python and a crocodile, with a sharp blade at the end.

Everything this weapon exhibits reveals its terrifying power as the ultimate weapon.

For this ultimate weapon that is capable of changing the fate of mankind, the Celestial Group disassembled and recast the remains of the atomic Titan discovered in the China region to use as its skeleton, calling it "Mechagodzilla".

Mechagodzilla is equipped not only with high-energy rays that integrate various mechanical monster technologies, but also with high-energy particle beams that combine the breath waves of various Titans and monsters, known as the Proton Scream.

When it was first designed, people devised a plan to use the Earth's inexhaustible energy as its power source. Now, the only thing left to solve the energy problem is the completion of the plan for the polar regions.

In addition, it is equipped with many extremely powerful weapons, such as the "zero-gravity bullet" used by Zetton, who killed Ultraman in the last century.

In recent years, humanity has gradually deciphered the Specium weapons, as well as the missile technology of the Missile Super Beasts and the sub-light speed travel capability of space battleships.

as well as--

The ultimate technological masterpiece of the United Human Government, a massive device developed to support the Ultra Warriors: the [Specium Amplifier].

This ultimate weapon, incorporating so many cutting-edge technologies, is no exaggeration to call it a weapon that will change the course of human history in this era.

In the minds of the Celestial Group and those alien captives, this weapon was more than enough to annihilate all the Titans and monsters in the world.

In the eyes of those knowledgeable aliens, Mechagodzilla would be considered an advanced weapon even by all standards in the universe.

It is no exaggeration to say that humanity, with just Mechagodzilla, is militarily superior to more than 70% of the civilizations in the universe.

Even those alien captives couldn't help but marvel at how fortunate humanity was, possessing so many things that other cosmic civilizations wouldn't even dare to dream of before even venturing far beyond their planet.

Then, by using shoddy techniques to integrate these technologies and items, it was a complete waste of resources.

In their view, if these things were given to their civilization, they would be enough to make Mechagodzilla several times more terrifying.

Beside the blond middle-aged man, an elderly man, also dressed in a suit, with snow-white hair and a face full of wrinkles from years of hardship, leaned on a cane, displaying a completely different and composed demeanor.

"You're wrong. These are just weapons we built, meant only for human use, not to replace the Titans and monsters and become the new gods."

An elderly man who survived the North American catastrophes of the last century earnestly warned his heirs: "Have reverence for nature and the Titans; recklessness will only lead to self-destruction."

The old man looked at the middle-aged man beside him and said earnestly, "God would not want to see such a thing happen."

However, his words caused the middle-aged man's expression to change, and his eyes turned cold: "God, it's God again. Why do you always mention that high and mighty God?"

"Did He hear your fervent prayers? Did He hear the screams of the people of North America decades ago? What kind of god is He who watches humanity perish in the battle between monsters and Titans?"

The middle-aged man's face was full of sarcasm. At first, he thought that God was just a Titan who was worshipped and deified by the people.

But not long ago, the supreme deity truly performed a miracle, which confirmed his belief in the existence of God and that He truly possessed infinite power.

But this did not make him a devout believer; on the contrary, he became increasingly disgusted with the so-called God.

If He truly exists, why does He turn a blind eye to human suffering?

Men scoffed at such gods, so he chose to create a god of his own.

Only a god born from humankind and capable of solving human problems can truly be called a god!

The old man was taken aback by these words, then turned to look at his heir, his aged face filled with complex thoughts, and sighed, "Back then, the gods truly did not help us."

"But have you ever considered that all of this is our own fault?"

"I believe you've seen that document too."

In the last century, the United States spent a large amount of money to send a laboratory into space for secret experiments.

The United States collected cells from all known Titans and various monsters at the time, and conducted experiments in near-Earth orbit, ultimately creating a monster capable of destroying all of humanity.

From its very inception, it killed all the experimental personnel in space, destroyed the space laboratory, and continuously absorbed radiation to grow stronger in space.

Around that time, Godzilla, the King of Monsters, landed in North America, used his atomic breath to stop its continued growth, and shot it down.

The King of Monsters waged a brutal war against it in North America, ultimately causing the deadliest casualty event in human history.

Although the archives and humans both claim that the monster came from outer space, many people still know that the monster originated from humans, and everyone chooses to give face to the once most civilized nation.

The middle-aged man fell silent upon hearing this. He looked at the massive outline in the distance and finally changed the subject, "This project is about to begin testing, and based on rigorous calculations, it shouldn't fail."

"I know," the old man nodded.

He already guessed what his successor was going to say next, but he didn't want to do that; instead, he proceeded with the original plan.

But the middle-aged man, who was the heir, did not think so. He had a bigger ideal, a daring ambition. So when he saw that the old man wanted to end the conversation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mechagodzilla is the god we created, a god of death who is capable of killing all monsters and Titans."

"A death that should have been ours!"

The middle-aged man emphasized the word "we," and looking at the old man's bloodshot eyes, the ambition contained in his words was self-evident.

The old man was speechless upon hearing this. Looking into the heir's bloodshot eyes, he could easily see his ambition.

Clearly, the "we" mentioned by their successors refers to the Celestial Group itself.

The old man glanced into the distance at the group of people who were heading this way, led by his secretary.

They were dressed in uniform and always had their weapons on them, clearly a team from the United Government fighting the monsters.

The old man recognized one of them; he was Shingo Sakamizu, the former captain of the island nation branch, who had been transferred to headquarters as vice-captain and was now the official captain.

The old man withdrew his gaze and looked back at his heir, frowning as he gave his answer: "I must remind you, that is not some Grim Reaper, but merely a weapon modeled after Godzilla, nothing more."

"This is a weapon authorized and strongly supported by the United Government for human self-defense. I advise you not to get it wrong."

"Without a coalition government, we wouldn't even have the right to touch the scraps of these things."

"This is the last lesson I'll teach you: to understand your attitude and place."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression gradually turned cold, but he still wanted to try to persuade the man one last time. After all, without his approval, he couldn't do much, and he wasn't the owner of the group yet.

"Have you ever considered that we could completely defeat the United Government with Mechagodzilla? Humanity's most powerful weapon is right in front of us now."

He spoke in a seductive yet threatening tone: "Mechagodzilla is the Grim Reaper we created, plus the Titan we control that is now heading to the inner Earth. Even Godzilla, Mothra, or even that plant could not possibly be our match."

"We can completely rule the world with Mechagodzilla and let the company control everything!"

The old man's white hair shimmered under the light as he looked with disdain and disappointment at the former heir who couldn't even figure out his place.

Who doesn't have ambitions to rule the world?

It sounds simple, but in reality, if you want to do this, you'll be stuck here before you even start.

At first, he was quite satisfied with the successor he had chosen, but at this moment, he realized how bad his judgment was.

Does he even know how closely the United Government is watching Mechagodzilla?

How many of the employees working diligently on the setup below are already members of the coalition government?

How much artificial intelligence is monitoring the company's every move behind the scenes, and how many destructive weapons are constantly aimed at this place?

Clearly, he was completely unaware, or perhaps, driven by boundless greed and ambition, he subconsciously overlooked these facts.

"idiot."

The old man uttered the word coldly, causing the middle-aged man's expression to stiffen.

Before he could react, the door behind him was opened, and personnel from the United Government walked in. The accompanying armed men walked straight to the middle-aged man and detained him.

Upon seeing this, the man's eyes widened and he instinctively tried to struggle, but he was powerless to resist, and even his mouth was forcibly sealed shut.

Shingo Sakami walked to the old man's side and solemnly said to him, "We have concrete evidence that the heir of the Celestial Group has contacted anti-government forces in an attempt to seize the project."

The elderly man remained calm, leaning on his cane, and simply corrected Shingo Sakami's words: "He is the former heir."

As he spoke, he raised his phone and showed everyone the information about the removal of his legal heir status, which had been displayed three minutes earlier.

The scene that came into view left the middle-aged man stunned, unable to comprehend what he had just seen.

In response, the old man said that he did not have such great ambitions, and since he did not live for many more years, he had no intention of conquering the world.

As the former heir was escorted away, representatives of the coalition government officially moved in, taking over various data and information while overseeing the work unfolding below.

Shingo Sakami's gaze fell into the depths of darkness, looking at the huge, deep silhouette, his eyes revealing a hint of worry.

He always felt that humanity's creation of this dangerous weapon could bring about annihilation.

In the depths of darkness, Mechagodzilla's mechanical eyes flickered faintly as data was input, emitting a chilling red glow, as if gazing directly at Shingo Sakamizu from afar—

Meanwhile, at a base far away on the Antarctic continent, amidst the raging polar storms, a massive silhouette approached with the howls of the demons.

Titan-King Kong strode through the storm and into the base, heading straight for the enormous floor-to-ceiling window.

The tempered glass covered with hard ice reflected a humanoid silhouette over 120 meters tall. Kong's body was covered with thick brown and black fur, and a set of yellowish giant exoskeleton armor covered his body.

Its eyes, gleaming with electricity, gazed across the floor-to-ceiling window at the Iwe girl in uniform, watching her use sign language to convey important information to it.

"Your home is on the other side of the passage."

This information startled King Kong slightly. He instinctively turned his head to look at the huge passage built under the ice in front of him. After a brief moment of thought, he took a step and entered the passage.

Behind him, massive aircraft were already prepared, following King Kong's steps into the passage.

They knew that only by following King Kong could they find the energy of the Earth's core and thus begin the Mechagodzilla experiment.
