Pacific Rim Godzilla Beats Up Monsters

Old Luo remained calm on the surface, but after a long while, he slowly exhaled.

"The title King of Monsters is well-deserved. This is a true, genuine Beast King!"

Unknowingly, Old Luo had begun using an honorific when referring to Godzilla.

Usually, this was reserved only for when he spoke of the mechs.

026. Pioneers and Devotees 1/3

If the first time they witnessed the Charged Breath, the suddenness of the event and the speed at which Scythe Head fell had left them unable to react, then this second Charged Breath provided a much more visceral experience.

Not only was the power astonishing, but it was also incredibly three-dimensional!

After selling out the first Thunder Beast, the second Thunder Beast had begun fleeing for its life.

By the time the Beast King launched its attack, it had already run at least five kilometers away.

It was precisely because of this distance that the Beast King's Charged Breath did not hit the target immediately; instead, it slammed into the ocean, evaporating an immeasurable amount of seawater.

After a slight adjustment to the trajectory, a single shot hit the mark, instantly turning the second Thunder Beast into an oversized firework!

Amidst that brilliant, light-polluting explosion, the sight of the Beast King standing atop the corpse of the first Thunder Beast was truly soul-shaking.

An ordinary person would be deeply stunned by this scene, left speechless for a long time.

But as an insider, Old Luo saw something much deeper.

Beyond the astonishing power, this mysteriously appearing Beast King's primary offensive method also included long-range capabilities!

Turning the second Thunder Beast into a giant firework from five kilometers away!

And by the looks of it, the power of the breath hadn't diminished much at all.

Based on this, it was safe to assume that the range of this Charged Breath could easily be doubled to at least ten kilometers.

Whether it could extend further—to fifteen or even twenty kilometers—remained an unknown for now.

"Hoo... A range of at least ten kilometers, and a breath powerful enough to destroy any monster with armor below level 9!"

"Rather than calling it a Beast King, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a strategic artillery platform!"

Old Luo calculated for a moment, forming some ideas.

In the transmitted footage, after slaughtering the two Thunder Beasts, the Beast King turned and began to move.

Looking at the direction of its movement... it was heading straight for the speedboat where Old Cao was!

"General Luo! The Beast King is heading toward Captain Cao's boat. Should we sound the alarm?"

Seeing this, a staff officer habitually asked for instructions.

Even if they deployed the mechs immediately, it would already be too late. If the Beast King attacked Old Cao, there would be no way to save him.

But behind Old Cao was the military fleet they had dispatched, and further behind the fleet lay the mainland of Sakurajima!

Issuing an early warning was meant to evacuate the civilians and defend the coastline!

"No!"

Old Luo gritted his teeth, watching the small boat, which looked like a lone leaf in the vast ocean on the monitor:

"Captain Cao knows exactly what he is doing... I hope his intuition is right, and I hope my theory is right—that this Beast King is truly different from other monsters!"

Technology requires pioneers, and countless devotees have sacrificed themselves along the way.

Captain Cao was currently bearing the identity of a pioneer.

And at any moment, he could become a devotee!

In the boundless ocean, amidst the surging waves, Captain Cao and his few remaining crew members sat on the speedboat, feeling quite like they were shivering in the wind.

The belly-up fish covering the sea surface and the turbulent, crashing waves could not rattle Old Cao.

What truly terrified them, making them tremble from the depths of their souls, was the "big treasure" gradually approaching from the distance!

After slaughtering two Thunder Beasts, the Beast King turned its figure. It paid no mind to the monster corpses, instead walking slowly toward their small boat!

Although he had been hypnotizing himself into believing that this Beast King was different from other monsters.

Although he had been in close contact with the Beast King before.

But now, much like Lord Ye who loved dragons only in theory, even Old Cao, a veteran captain with nerves of steel, found his legs shaking uncontrollably, no different from any ordinary person.

"Cap, Captain! Let's run!"

A crew member, unable to withstand the pressure, shouted a suggestion to Old Cao.

Old Cao's expression was grave as he gazed at the giant beast drawing ever closer in the distance, and he said softly:

"Do you think we can still run at this distance?"

"Everyone stay put and don't do anything unusual—if you're truly too terrified to bear it, then lie on the deck, close your eyes, and you won't be able to see the Beast King anymore!"

The crew member was stunned:

"Is this really going to work, Captain?"

Old Cao chuckled:

"Of course it works! If the Beast King really decides to attack us, at least you'll die without a sound, and you won't have to suffer before the end!"

Upon hearing this, the expression of despair and panic on the crew member's face reached its limit.

Without a moment's hesitation, he sprawled out on the deck, closed his eyes, and began to wail and sob.

"Keep it down, or the Beast King might eat you first."

Seeing the cowardice of the man, Old Cao's own trembling legs suddenly steadied. His mood improved significantly, and he even offered the man a reminder.

Hearing this, the crew member immediately clamped his hands over his mouth. He cried even more bitterly, but the sound was indeed muffled.

Old Cao shook his head and looked toward Sakaki, who was standing to the side.

This Sakaki crew member was actually holding up better than Old Cao.

He was muttering something while staring at the giant beast in the distance. There was no fear in his eyes; instead, his expression was filled with fanaticism.

Old Cao leaned in to listen and heard the man repeating the same word over and over:

Godzilla!

Is the name of this Beast King really Godzilla?

Based solely on a piece of folklore that no one had ever heard of?

Old Cao didn't know. He decided to report all of this to the Mecha Base later.

If he was still alive, that is.

Turning his head to the east, the thirty-li distance had been easily crossed by the Beast King's massive feet.

Watching the approaching Beast King, Old Cao straightened his back:

"I never thought I, Old Cao, would get to witness a moment of history today—though, of course, you have to be alive to witness history. If you're dead, you're just one of the countless civilians who perished in a monster attack!"

Amidst his swirling thoughts, the Beast King's massive silhouette blocked out all the descending light.

Shadows enveloped the speedboat, and they enveloped the hearts of everyone on board.

Just like their current state of mind.

In Old Cao's extremely dilated pupils, the Beast King lowered its head.

A gust of air carrying a hint of sea breeze sprayed onto their heads, feeling like a gale-force wind that instantly ruined their hairstyles.

But...

The Beast King just looked at them like that, neither attacking nor speaking!

Old Cao's heart hammered against his ribs. He looked up at the colossal beast looming just inches away, a surge of unprecedented excitement flooding his heart!

This Beast King really hadn't attacked the humans!

If one were to say that the Beast King didn't attack Wulei on the North Sea battlefield because Wulei wasn't weak... well, that excuse was a bit of a stretch to flatter Wulei, but it would serve for now.

If one were to say that the Beast King didn't attack the dozens of salvage ships on the Snake King battlefield because he was searching for the Thunder Beast that had stolen the corpse.

Then now, on the Thunder Beast battlefield, although one could still find excuses, there was no longer any need.

Three strikes and you're out!

When this Beast King had made contact with humans for the first time without causing harm, the second time without causing harm, and the third time still without causing harm, then perhaps, just maybe...

He was truly a rare, perhaps even unique, Beast King among monsters who was friendly toward humanity!

Congratulations on signing your contract! That is fantastic news—I'm so happy for you!

Please provide the text you would like me to revise, and I will get it polished into natural, punchy English for you immediately.

027. King of Monsters - Godzilla! 2

When a person talks like Li Kui, acts like Li Kui, and drinks like Li Kui, then he is most likely Li Gui.

But if the same behavior is applied to a monster, then the attitude it displays is exactly what the monster's true thoughts are.

Because monsters do not pretend!

When facing humans, they always maintain their true selves, completely unlike those pretentious, flashy fakes.

From another perspective, this statement is perfectly applicable to Godzilla.

Because while the exterior is Godzilla, the interior is the Beast King Luo Bing, so the friendly attitude toward humans comes from the heart.

If it were the real Godzilla, the attitude might only be neutral, but once the soul became Luo Bing, it would be hard not to lean completely toward humanity.

Old Cao, accompanied by a few crew members, tilted his head back, his gaze colliding with the Beast King's for a split second.

In an instant, Old Cao felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

At this moment, the crew member Sakamoto beside him prostrated himself and shouted loudly:

"Godzilla! The great King of Monsters, Godzilla!"

At a time when everyone was keeping quiet, with even those crying struggling to cover their mouths and stifle their sobs, Sakamoto's shout was practically a crime!

Old Cao's first reaction upon realizing what happened was to kick this Sakurajima native off the boat!

Such loud, boisterous behavior was essentially playing with everyone else's lives.

Although the Beast King appeared quite friendly and didn't immediately resort to violence like other monsters, what if your insane shouting provoked it? Wouldn't that mean everyone would have to pay with their lives for your momentary brain-dead stunt?

As a retired soldier, Old Cao still maintained a very rugged style.

He genuinely considered throwing Sakamoto into the ocean to cool off, but the Beast King was right in front of them.

Sakamoto's actions were provocative toward the Beast King, but wouldn't his own actions be the same?

In the end, after a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, Old Cao could only honestly remain standing where he was. He merely turned his head, staring at Sakamoto with a gaze sharp enough to kill.

You bastard...

I really want to slice you into a thousand pieces with my eyes.

"Hm? Did I hear that right?"

"Is that crew member shouting for Godzilla?"
