Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

Chapter 227 Destruction

The once bustling coastal cities of Honshu have now completely lost their former glory and become extremely chaotic.

Long lines of cars blocked the already congested streets, and the honking of car horns, mixed with people's anxious and fearful shouts, echoed in every corner of the city.

In the streets of a coastal city, coalition government personnel wearing reflective vests raised loudspeakers and shouted repeatedly, trying to evacuate as many people as possible before the monster arrived.

But the piercing honking and the panicked shouts of the crowd drowned out his horn, and despite his desperate cries, the surrounding traffic remained completely still.

Drones flew overhead, their whirring wings constantly emitting broadcasts.

"The monsters Gomes, Gomora, and the Titan Jormungandr will make landfall on the coastline in ten minutes. All citizens are advised to leave their vehicles as soon as possible and walk to the various shelters for refuge."

The drones' pronouncements only fueled the already anxious crowd, who, like ants on a hot plate, frantically pulled open their car doors and sped towards the GG sign.

However, the dense crowds on the streets, coupled with traffic congestion, ultimately left hundreds of thousands of people stuck on the streets.

The screams were drowned out by the frenzied noise. The dense crowd and the short time frame ultimately led to a serious stampede, resulting in the deaths of many people. However, the coalition government personnel around them were completely unaware of the situation.

Fighter jets streaked across the sky, their sonic booms echoing through the heavens. Armed with Specium weapons, the jets pierced the clouds, shooting beams of light toward the coastline.

This sudden scene instantly silenced the street, making the previously faint wails clear.

But as the crowd turned to look, an even more desperate scene unfolded before their eyes, causing their pupils to contract violently and screams to erupt once more.

Looking up, a tsunami, almost as tall as a building several meters high, swept in like a tsunami, engulfing everything with a deafening roar. The surging waves carried desperate crowds and cars, their sound drowning out all screams.

In just a few moments, the murky floodwaters had submerged hundreds of thousands of people, and lives were quickly lost.

Despite this, many people still took refuge in high-rise buildings, watching the tsunami sweep in in an instant. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they collapsed helplessly to the ground. In the face of such a violent reaction, they became utterly desperate.

Before they could recover, a new wave of disaster struck, with beams of light intertwining around the coastline and triggering nuclear-like explosions.

The chaotic shockwave spread rampantly, crushing towering buildings like weeds, and the shattered debris was ejected at supersonic speeds, landing in distant areas untouched by the tsunami, causing devastating casualties.

Thick clouds of smoke and dust swept through, obscuring the vision of the survivors in the distance, and the blurred vision made them even more panicked.

They stood frozen in place, their minds blank, until a burning fighter jet slid down from the sky, screeching as it crashed into the low-lying area affected by the tsunami, causing a violent explosion.

"Thump—"

A muffled roar passed by them, and the burning wreckage of the fighter jet illuminated the colossal creature deep within the smoke and dust. The ancient monster Gomora strode forward from the smoke and dust, its enormous eyes revealing fear and anger, yet it continued to walk straight ahead.

The monster ignored the surviving humans, but the intense pressure emanating from it still made them stiffen and almost scared to death.

As Gomora receded into the distance, before they could even catch their breath, an even more despairing scene unfolded: the churning tsunami surged once more in the distance.

A massive, winding shadow loomed in and out of sight, its scales, like black gemstones, revealed amidst the tsunami. The Titan, nearly four hundred meters long, extended its enormous head, its long tongue protruding.

Its eyes also held intense fear, but even more so, anger and brutality. This Titan, already extremely ruthless and who had killed hundreds of thousands of humans during World War I simply by being awakened, showed no mercy now that it learned that humans possessed the ability to threaten the Titans.

Wherever it goes, everything turns to wasteland, leaving no trace of life. And the coastline it has landed on now is no exception.

As beams of light pierced through the thick smoke and dust, striking Jormungandr's scales and leaving bloody wounds, it unleashed its destruction.

It raised its head, revealing a gaping maw with spear-like fangs that seemed capable of swallowing everything. A plume of pitch-black smoke billowed from its mouth, engulfing the city in a very short time.

The black smoke, containing deadly toxins, spread rapidly, soon engulfing the entire city and causing many survivors to collapse in despair.

Humans, with their formidable vitality, seemed as fragile as ants at this moment.

The matter was not over yet. Amidst the billowing smoke and poisonous fog, Jormungandr's scarlet eyes flashed. It emerged from the waves with its long tail, which swiftly struck its own hard scales, igniting a dazzling burst of light and setting off the highly toxic gas.

In an instant, a terrifying explosion erupted in the smoke-shrouded city, spreading continuously in all directions, as if a nuclear bomb with a yield of tens of millions of tons had been dropped on the city, and a huge mushroom cloud rose.

A frenzied shockwave erupted almost instantly, leveling buildings and sending out deafening roars.

In the sky, the surviving defense force pilots watched this scene, which resembled a nuclear explosion, and felt a sense of despair.

But before he could even pilot his fighter jet to escape, a chaotic shockwave arrived, instantly turning into torches that burned in the sky.

Just as the rising mushroom cloud turned into wisps of black smoke and the roar spread in all directions, Jormungandr, the culprit behind all this, emerged from the flames and continued straight ahead once more.

As one of the Titans that was enslaved by humans with psychic abilities shortly after its birth, this level of destruction meant little to it.

Similar scenes unfolded in the cities surrounding Sakurajima, where hordes of monsters and Titans landed, directly destroying numerous cities.

Tens of millions of people died as a result.

"Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima and Yokohama have been confirmed to be completely out of contact, and cities such as Tokyo, Nagoya and Akita have now lost basic functions."

Death toll - unknown

"The economic losses are unknown."

"In addition, many cities along the paths of the Titans and monsters have lost contact with the outside world, and the whole world is a disaster area."

The alarming reports of casualties quickly reached the operational command, silencing the highest-ranking commander of the defense forces.

The casualties of this disaster have surpassed those of all previous calamities, and the sleeping areas of Titans and monsters are basically spread throughout the entire world.

No country was able to remain completely unaffected; all suffered varying degrees of damage and casualties.

In many areas that were already small in scale, the casualties were exceptionally high, which in the old days could have been described as the annihilation of a nation.

This horrific situation silenced everyone, and many realized just how vulnerable humanity was without the help of the Ultra Warriors.

The devastating casualties left the top brass of the coalition government speechless, their minds filled with endless thoughts.

"Godzilla didn't stop the Titans and monsters—" The people in the higher-ups fell into deep thought.

They clearly remembered that before leaving, Zhengwu had mentioned to them that Godzilla had been sleeping for ten thousand years and had undergone rebirth.

It has become one with the consciousness of Earth. Now, not only Titans, but even Earth's monsters obey Godzilla's commands. Therefore, its every move can represent Earth's own decisions.

Today, all the events happening in the human world are proving this to them.

The consciousness of Earth has abandoned humanity.

"Mechagodzilla—"

Now they have to admit that creating Mechagodzilla was the worst decision in human history.

Equipped with numerous powerful weapons and capable of traveling at near-light speed in space, Mechagodzilla is a weapon that Earth cannot withstand.

Therefore, all of humanity was abandoned.

The Earth's consciousness, which gave birth to humankind, ultimately chose to eliminate the children who had made mistakes, using its first offspring.

But war doesn't stop just because of human suffering. This time, neither Godzilla nor the Snow Demon, as leaders, stopped because humans shut down Mechagodzilla; instead, they continued to let it run rampant.

As time went on, the monsters and Titans approached the city where Mechagodzilla was located and began indiscriminate destruction.

Under the barrage of breath and light, the city's defenses crumbled, and the once bustling city, along with the lives it contained, was transformed into a burning wasteland.

In the instant the Titans and monsters approached, only the people in the underground part of the Celestial Group remained alive in the entire city.

Despite this, the survivors still suffered varying degrees of harm, and many areas of the enormous laboratory were vaporized.

Multiple sections of the main laboratory and hangar also collapsed, burying a large number of people.

Shingo Sakamizu stood up from the shattered laboratory, his hand covering the wound pierced by glass, his eyes reflecting the cold steel mountains before him.

Mechagodzilla collapsed in the explosion, its massive body crashing into the laboratory, its enormous head coming to rest right in front of Shingo Sakamizu.

Under his gaze, Mechagodzilla finally restarted, opening its mechanical pupils. The crimson light was reflected in Shingo Sakami's eyes, just like their eye contact not long ago.

Mechagodzilla's eyes were fixed on Shingo Sakamizu, its internal operating programs constantly clashing.

[Kill Seven—]

[Exterminate humanity—]

Human beings must not be harmed.

[Conquering the Earth—]

Protecting humanity—

A variety of instructions, seemingly from nowhere, flickered in the sea of ​​data, eventually merging together, with a piece of code that already existed in Mechagodzilla's data being given the highest priority.

Kill all the Titans and monsters!

With a piercing hum, the artificial Grim Reaper finally rose from the ruins, and a large amount of building debris cascaded down its two-hundred-meter-tall body like a waterfall, its scarlet eyes flashing.

All information from the outside world circulated within its database. It raised its head, and the spaceship thrusters on its legs and back were activated, instantly igniting the entire underground space.

Driven by thrust comparable to that of a spaceship's propulsion system, the hundreds of thousands of tons of its body rose into the air, smashed through the crumbling ceiling, and appeared in the world amidst the billowing dust.

In the underground space, a sudden burst of flames spread wildly, instantly filling his eyes. But just before the flames engulfed him, a barrier of light blocked his way.

Mechagodzilla's feet tread on the scorched earth, its long tail sweeps away the broken building debris, and it raises its steel-cast head to scan the surroundings.

Titans and monsters entered its scanning range, and data on monsters and Titans from the database were displayed in the core processor.

Every move of the behemoths and their past battle data were analyzed, and combat plans for each monster were formulated as contingency plans.

Every move of these colossal creatures will be analyzed and predicted, allowing Mechagodzilla's processor to respond in the shortest possible time.

After determining the battle plan for each monster, the artificial Grim Reaper finally launched its attack, activating missile launchers located throughout its body.

Missiles originating from the Missile Super Beast were ignited and launched, instantly streaking through the air and hitting the top-tier monsters and Titans that already inhabited the island nation.

As flames rose and enveloped the monster, a terrifying explosion and shockwave swept across the land, instantly devastating it. Scorched earth spread to the horizon, and shattered continental debris flew into the sky.

A single salvo of missiles severely injured or killed many monsters amidst the expanding flames, and many more were blasted away by the shockwave.

As the flames died down, cracks appeared on the ground, and the powerful earthquakes continued unabated, with the entire island showing signs of sinking.

Rodon and his son soared through the sky, roaring as they approached, their wings wreathed in flames as if igniting the heavens.

Two Titans, resembling Pteranodons in appearance, flew at several times the speed of sound, swooping down at high speed and spewing flames at the two-hundred-meter-high steel mountain.

The blazing flames, like straight, crimson rays of light, pierced through the atmosphere in an instant, heading straight for Mechagodzilla's head.

Just as the breath touched the steel, a 360-degree barrier unfolded first, thanks to the barrier ability derived from the mechanical Zetton, perfectly blocking the breath.

With a roar of steel, Mechagodzilla twisted its head, its crimson eyes locking onto Rodan and his son, while the Specium launchers on its shoulders flashed.

The trajectory of the Rodan father and son flapping their wings was exceptionally clear under its program capture. Every subsequent movement and flight path was predicted, and the Specium launcher on the shoulder was ready to go.

Just as the Specium Ray was being fired, a scorching, ultra-high-temperature breath burst forth from the billowing smoke and dust, causing Mechagodzilla's weapon to turn and aim at the source of the ray. The Specium Ray was instantly activated, colliding with the white breath.

Godzilla II stepped onto this battlefield, its body radiating white light symbolizing a white lotus. Facing this extremely powerful opponent, it held nothing back, unleashing its strongest form.

However, when Godzilla II Ridor's figure was captured by Mechagodzilla, its mechanical pupils rotated, and the power of the Specium Ray decreased strangely, as if a bug had occurred.

As the power of the Specium Ray decreased, the pale white atomic breath instantly annihilated and pushed it back, striking the hundreds of thousands of tons of Mechagodzilla's body directly.

In the midst of the violent explosion, Mechagodzilla staggered backward, eventually crashing once more into the giant crater in the laboratory. Its atomic breath, undiminished in force, plunged straight into the sky and disappeared into the cosmos.
