Pacific Rim Godzilla Beats Up Monsters

Old Cao was not a host for Discovery Channel or a trivia show.

He just wanted to find an answer for himself, or perhaps he was simply drawn in.

Even knowing full well that he might be a moth flying into a flame, he was willing to risk everything.

He glanced at the few people who had come with him and noticed one of the Sakurajima crew members staring off into the distance toward the east. The man's eyes were unfocused, and he was muttering something under his breath.

By the looks of it, he was likely possessed.

Old Cao didn't believe in that crooked nonsense. He stepped forward and asked:

"Sakamoto, what are you spacing out about?"

The crew member named Sakamoto turned his head, his expression vacant as he said:

"Godzilla!"

"I remembered a story my mother once told me... or perhaps it was a folk song... it mentioned a monster, Godzilla!"

Old Cao's brows furrowed immediately:

"Godzilla? Tell me the specifics."

Sakamoto shook his head, looking toward the east with that same vacant expression:

"I've forgotten. It was decades ago, something I heard when I was a child. I only remember my mother saying it was a monster named Godzilla."

"I had long since forgotten the story, but the moment I saw that monster just now, it all came back to me."

"Captain! Do you believe it? There's a thought in my heart telling me that monster is Godzilla!"

"He didn't kill us because he isn't just any monster; he is Godzilla!"

Watching the somewhat fanatical look on Sakamoto's face, Old Cao frowned and took a step back.

He didn't know any stories, nor did he know anything about Godzilla.

Looking at Sakamoto's current state, Old Cao was reminded of something godforsaken—the Monster Worship Cult!

There was no doubt about it; those people were all godforsaken!

And this Sakamoto before him gave Old Cao the exact impression of those fanatical cultists.

He stepped back twice, deciding to leave Sakamoto alone, and looked toward the east once more. He could still faintly see a ripple progressing steadily into the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

Under the refraction of the sunlight, a shadow could be vaguely discerned beneath the azure water.

"Godzilla, is it?"

Old Cao couldn't help but mutter the name to himself as he thought of it.

The name seemed to possess a certain magic, making it impossible to forget.

"Captain, we have an incoming transmission from General Luo at the Mecha Base!"

Old Cao didn't hesitate for a second and quickly connected the call.

"General Luo! I knew you would call; I've been waiting for a long time!"

Old Luo sounded a bit surprised on the other end:

"You guessed that accurately?"

"Of course! There aren't many who would dare to summon the courage to tail a monster, especially when that monster's behavior is so peculiar!"

"General Luo, the situation is urgent. Whatever orders you have, just say the word. If it's within my power, I will certainly get it done!"

Old Cao took full responsibility, showing off his bravado in front of the General Commander of the Mecha Base.

Old Luo's voice carried a hint of admiration:

"You are a veteran worthy of respect!"

Old Cao was also an honorably discharged soldier, though he wasn't a Pilot, just an ordinary soldier.

"Captain Cao! I am now solemnly asking you one more time—although I have already asked the crew members who remained at the site, I still need to ask you!"

"After that Beast King went out to sea, it stood around your dozens of salvage ships. Did it truly not show even the slightest desire to attack you?"

"It just circled around there and then left?"

Old Cao replied firmly:

"Absolutely certain! If it had any hostile intent, do you think our defenseless salvage ships could have survived?"

"There is one more thing. It wasn't just swimming around aimlessly. I suspect it discovered something there—it's confirmed that the Serpent King's corpse has gone missing!"

"But by following this Beast King, we might be able to find the true culprit behind the Serpent King's disappearance!"

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.

Inside the distant Mecha Base, Li Liang sat at his desk, silently staring at the top-secret document before him.

The document had been retrieved.

The first line of large text read:

<Regarding Internal Divisions Among Monsters / Regarding the Hypothesis of Neutral Titan Beasts and Their Associated Assumptions>

There was a long paragraph at the back, added later and handwritten, specifically meant to pass on a message to Old Luo.

(The hypothesis regarding Titan Beasts was first proposed by Dr. Chen. She based her hypothesis on the monster Yamata no Orochi, which sleeps beneath Mount Fuji in Sakurajima.)

(Because there were too few supporting examples, this hypothesis was rejected internally and does not constitute a fact. However, the Beast King that has appeared on the Sakurajima battlefield may now indirectly confirm this argument.)

(Old Luo, Chen Yuxin is already on her way to Sakurajima. She is packing her things in Anshan; it is uncertain when she will arrive in a few days. Please make arrangements for her research. --Lan)

Old Luo tapped the table, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke again:

"Captain Cao, your courage today may well be recorded in the annals of history!"

Opposite him, Old Cao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and laughed heartily:

"It seems my premonition was correct! Today, I get to witness history!"

Deep in the ocean, a colossal figure swam across various regions, moving rapidly in one direction.

"My spoils of war—only I can make decisions regarding them!"

"You thieving little rat, you are courting death!"

Traces that others could not find, Godzilla could track by scent!

He followed the trail left by the Serpent King's corpse, chasing it all the way.

It was fortunate that he had come looking that very night.

If he had waited another few days, there would have been no need to search at all.

The ocean would have washed away every last bit of the remaining traces!

024. Sea-Burning Fish-Blasting Monarch

Old Cao's thoughts were not wrong.

Godzilla could indeed discover traces that ordinary people could not.

It was not that humans couldn't find such traces with the help of other technologies, but that would certainly require a significant amount of preparation time and equipment assistance.

Godzilla, however, was different.

Under Luo Bing's direction, he had already tracked enough of the scent and residual traces from the battlefield.

The Serpent King had already been torn apart by Luo Bing, and it had been snapped directly into two pieces!

No matter how shrewd or nimble the thief was, it was impossible to prevent the Serpent King's blood from dispersing in the seawater.

Godzilla followed the trail all the way; the blood left behind by the Serpent King was like a beacon, its traces appearing incredibly clear to the Beast King.

The thief's stolen goods had exposed him!

Sherlock Godzilla would make him pay the price.

Through the frigid seabed, the massive silhouette of the Beast King darted.

Luo Bing probed the area slightly, confirming that the target was just ahead.

This was because, in addition to the increasingly intense aura of the Serpent King, the presence of other monsters had also emerged.

At the same time, Luo Bing noticed a small toy boat trailing behind him.

However, the distance between the two parties was quite significant.

Due to the difference in speed, Luo Bing had already left that small boat more than twenty miles behind.

I reckon that by the time I finish this fight, at that little boat's speed, it won't even be able to reach me, right? Probably.

Luo Bing calmed his mind, lowering his body's fluctuations to the absolute minimum. Then, like a top-tier predator stalking its prey, he lunged forward.

Ten miles!

Five miles!

The vast space was continuously shortened beneath the feet of the colossal monster. After a short-range sprint, Luo Bing had already caught sight of the thieves.

And there were two of them!

They were peculiar monsters with squid-like tentacles and four lower limbs. The front half of their bodies featured massive mouthparts, and the tops of their heads had concave tissue structures.

This extremely bizarre body part was the associated organ they used to compress voltage and launch electrical attacks.

It was also the origin of this monster's name.

Thunder Beast: Height 72 meters, Speed 6, Strength 6, Armor 5. Special Note: The head tissue is the body's power-generating structure unique to the Thunder Beast!

This was the overview of the Thunder Beast within the Mecha Base, and the actual case study cited was data modeled from a Thunder Beast attack several years ago.

Based on Luo Bing's current observations, these two Thunder Beasts should be around 75 meters and 66 meters tall respectively, both differing from the standard model.

This was normal; it was just like the packaging of beef noodles versus the actual product—a classic case of "no meat included," where the image is for reference/deception only.

Although the Thunder Beast was the smallest monster Luo Bing had encountered so far in terms of body size, the fact that there were two of them, combined with their special abilities, proved that this battle would be no less difficult than the previous two.

Luo Bing, however, was completely unfazed.

He was even curious to experience what it felt like to be electrocuted after attaining a 90-meter-tall body.

When Luo Bing's massive form suddenly appeared before them, the two Thunder Beasts were visibly stunned.

Their senses were primarily geared toward their massive mouthparts and bio-electric structures; their ability to detect other auras had dropped by more than an order of magnitude.

It wasn't until Luo Bing had closed the distance that they finally stopped their feeding.

Yes, feeding!

The two halves of the Serpent King's body were clutched in the hands of the two Thunder Beasts, who were busy gorging themselves!

However, these thieves were unaware that the owner of their stolen meal was highly displeased with their theft and had come knocking at their door.

Luo Bing arrived before them, but he did not use his breath attack, which would have reduced his Action Duration. Instead, he swung his short arms first.

Although his Body Size had evolved once, and his short arms had been significantly strengthened, they still felt a bit stubby compared to his massive frame, with a span of only twenty meters.

However—that all depends on what you compare them to!

Compared to his own body, they were indeed short arms.

But compared to these two Thunder Beasts, those short arms could transform into his most powerful muscular weapons!

With a strike from his sharp claws and impressive reach, Luo Bing grabbed the 75-meter-tall Thunder Beast, pinned its head down, and began a relentless barrage of brute-force smashes!

The Thunder Beast, dazed and disoriented from the blows of the Giant Claw, did not lose consciousness. Instead, it stubbornly gathered the electricity in its body and unleashed a discharge without even needing to aim.

There was no need to aim at all, because the enemy was right in front of it; simply launching the attack was a victory in itself!

The crackling sound of electricity rang out, and countless serpentine arcs of lightning spread and propagated across the surface of the sea.
