Pacific Rim Godzilla Beats Up Monsters

When dealing with ordinary monsters, mechs could still achieve phased victories.

But in battles involving the King of Monsters, the sense of powerlessness of the mechs became intense.

Very powerless, very helpless, and also very tired.

However, one must still persist, because this is what humanity is.

Bravely face difficulties; as long as you are not crushed by them, you will sooner or later achieve victory.

What cannot defeat me can only make me stronger!

Stepping out of the private car, Chen Yuxin glanced around but did not spot General Luo.

She didn't waste any words and immediately dialed his number.

"General Luo, is my laboratory ready? Has the new equipment on the list I sent over been procured? Are the materials and data prepared?"

"Have the dissections of the Scythe Head, the Snake King, and the remains of the Thunder Beast been completed?..."

Finally, Dr. Chen stated in an uncompromising tone:

"The latest data regarding Yamata must be obtained from Sakura Island, the latest!"

"I don't believe Sakura Island hasn't had designs on Yamata all these years. All their relevant data must be demanded; I want to see it all!"

Listening to the barrage of questions spilling from Dr. Chen's mouth, Luo Bing felt a headache on Old Luo's behalf.

Fortunately, he only needed to sigh for Old Luo, because he wasn't the one with the headache.

With official business temporarily handled, Dr. Chen turned to look at the four young pilots:

"Thank you all for coming to pick me up. There is no need to trouble the four of you further; General Luo will handle everything properly."

Old Luo was just a tool, to be moved wherever he was needed.

Hearing this, the group breathed a sigh of relief and bid farewell to Dr. Chen one after another.

Communicating with this Dr. Chen was indeed quite stressful. After all, her forceful personality and the extreme pragmatism she displayed really didn't mesh well with Luo Bing and the others.

These young people were more focused on friendship and emotions; they were more sentimental.

This Dr. Chen, however, was far too rational.

After everyone parted ways, the Lin Sisters turned and headed toward the mech hangar.

Lin Wange was uncharacteristically quiet, lacking her usual cheerful demeanor.

Luo Bing took Koizumi Junko on a tour around the base, then headed to the Training Hall for two sets of physical training to keep their bodies from getting rusty.

Afterward, they performed a simple Spiritual Connection synchronization in the Training Hall.

This minor test roughly simulated the internal environment of a large mecha to judge the adaptability of the two pilots; it did not involve any memory linking.

Only the deepest level of Spiritual Connection—that is, deep synchronization with a large mecha—would result in that kind of sensory memory overlap.

That state...

According to Luo Bing's understanding, it was actually a three-way Spiritual Connection between the mecha, the primary pilot, and the secondary pilot.

Although treating a mecha as an individual was quite strange, this was indeed Luo Bing's own interpretation.

The personal experience of a pilot with a Spiritual Connection Index of 99 should carry a certain degree of credibility.

Luo Bing kept this doubt in his heart, planning to look for an answer later.

The training session ended with a perfect score.

Both of them were excellent pilots, so handling basic training was a piece of cake.

Afterward, the two took a walk and, when the time came, picked up Luo Yun from school to head home.

Luo Yun's school was established within the base itself.

This school had no certification from the cultural department, and there were no diplomas upon graduation.

The only useful thing here was the ability to learn practical knowledge; all the instructors were top-tier experts from within the base working part-time during their free time, so the quality was beyond reproach.

After dinner, the three of them went for a stroll to digest, played a game of badminton, and then watched a movie—all using the base's internal facilities, which were free for members to use.

Finally, they returned to their dorms and waved goodbye.

This was an ordinary day in the life of Luo Bing, a pilot, when there were no monster attacks...

Perhaps it wasn't so ordinary, though.

Because in the middle of the night, he climbed out of bed to become a masked hero protecting humanity.

This time, he prepared to head to Mount Fuji to see what this so-called Yamata was really all about.

During the day, Dr. Chen had talked at length about her hypotheses regarding "Titan Beasts."

Luo Bing knew his own situation best.

But as for that other "Titan Beast—Yamata," it was hard to say.

Luo Bing wasn't sure if this Yamata was an indigenous beast of Earth, or if it had simply been labeled a "good guy" because it had accidentally strangled a monster back in the day.

"It is difficult for humans to discern the true nature of a monster because, to a monster, humans are truly insignificant. And if a mech is deployed, a single slip-up could result in an all-out war."

If the situation was originally neutral, but a battle broke out simply because a mech appeared, that would be a massive loss.

But if Luo Bing were the one to judge, it would be much more convenient.

After all, Godzilla is best at reasoning with others.

"If Dr. Chen's hypothesis turns out to be true, that would be for the best; we would have a helper in the future."

"But if the hypothesis turns out to be nothing... eliminating it early would be removing a hidden danger."

"A giant beast living inside an active volcano... that is practically asking for death. How does Sakurajima manage to sleep soundly? Aren't they afraid the volcano will erupt one day?"

Muttering to himself, Luo Bing did not slow down his movements.

At this moment, inside his Golden Finger space, a sparkling Evolution Point Little Star was circling around the 3D projection of the King of Monsters.

Thanks to the selfless contribution of the two Thunder Beasts, the experience bar had reached over 80% progress after being maxed out. Killing just one more monster would grant him another Little Star.

Luo Bing did not use the Evolution Point this time, choosing to keep it stored for now.

Subjectively, he still preferred to upgrade his Body Size. After all, bigger is better; an increase in size represents an all-around improvement.

However, he had to consider that all sorts of unexpected situations could arise.

One hour of Action Duration might seem sufficient, but there was no guarantee it would always be enough.

Luo Bing ultimately chose to keep one Little Star as a safety net, to be used as a trump card to turn the tide.

"It is currently 23:45. There are 15 minutes left until the Action Duration refreshes!"

"I went out at dawn to slay the Thunder Beasts, which took a total of 45 minutes."

"The remaining 15 minutes, plus the 60 minutes that refresh at midnight, give me a total of 75 minutes. That is enough for a trip to Mount Fuji!"

"Target: Mount Fuji's Yamata. Let's go!"

In the silent dead of night, a shadow swept across the sky.

The Beast King departed from the sea behind the base, leaping forward in a straight line toward Mount Fuji.

Because Sakurajima served as the defensive line, there was no need to consider threats from the mainland; they only needed to guard against monster attacks coming from the Pacific Ocean.

Therefore, the sub-base was built on the side facing the Pacific Ocean.

A little further west lies the most prosperous region of Sakurajima—Tokyo.

Mount Fuji is not far from Tokyo; at the very least, for Godzilla, it is only a dozen minutes of walking distance.

Upon reaching the offshore area, Godzilla's iconic jagged dorsal spines emerged from its back.

The Mecha Base detected the target in an instant.

"It's the Beast King! He has appeared again!"

Someone in the Command Center turned their gaze toward Old Luo, who had hurried over.

"General Luo, are we still not going to sound the alarm for everyone?"

Having gone through the experience last night, the group already seemed familiar with how to handle the Beast King today, simply copying their previous playbook.

General Luo stared at the pile of data for a long time before finally nodding slowly.

But immediately after, he asked another question:

"Have you notified Dr. Chen? She should be the person who wants to see this the most."

Before anyone nearby could respond, Dr. Chen walked in, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and buttoning the collar.

"Where was the Beast King's initial position detected this time?"

Bai Qingxin pointed out the location and showed it to Dr. Chen.

After looking at it, Dr. Chen appeared thoughtful:

"It doesn't seem to be too far from our base in a straight line, does it? Does it usually hide and sleep somewhere on the nearby seabed?"

She pondered for a moment:

"However, appearing at this same time again—the Beast King has a very strong nocturnal habit."

Bai Qingxin looked at Dr. Chen with a hint of admiration:

"Doctor, have you figured something out?"

Dr. Chen shook her head quite decisively:

"A hypothesis without more evidence as a foundation is just wild speculation! Let's keep watching and see what the Beast King intends to do."

"Mhm, mhm."

Bai Qingxin nodded repeatedly, looking very much like a little fan meeting her idol.

On the images transmitted by the satellite, many possible routes for the Beast King's movements had already been mapped out.

Some headed toward the depths of the Pacific Ocean, some traveled straight ahead until they vanished, and others made landfall.

Dr. Chen looked around, her brows furrowing instantly.

"It seems the Beast King... is heading toward Mount Fuji?"

A minute later, the Beast King left the sea and stepped onto land, arriving exactly in the region where Mount Fuji was located.

Upon seeing that the Beast King's final landing zone was Mount Fuji, Dr. Chen's focus intensified, while General Luo let out a long sigh of relief.

Because Mount Fuji had experienced a volcanic tremor eight years ago, and because a giant beast lay dormant within it, the surrounding residents had long since moved away.

Even those who were reluctant to leave their ancestral homes were forcibly relocated by the Sakura Island government.

"Sakura Island has been clearing out the area around Mount Fuji for the past eight years, and they've conducted quite a bit of research on the monster inside the volcano... though, in my opinion, it was essentially all in vain."

Dr. Chen shared her impressions after conducting a high-intensity review of the data submitted by Sakura Island.

"It's obvious that Sakura Island wanted to discover something, yet they were terrified of waking Yamata. As a result, they were timid and indecisive! They poured in massive amounts of manpower and resources, only to end up with nothing to show for it!"

"The only thing that could be considered a gain was confirming that Yamata is sleeping quite soundly and has little aversion to human activity on the surface!"

The Serrated Mammoth was slaughtered on the spot the moment it merely passed by the vicinity of Mount Fuji, as Yamata had charged out to kill it.

Yet, despite all the trouble Sakura Island had stirred up, Yamata still hadn't reacted. One could only say:

Either it is sleeping too deeply, or its temper is just too good... or perhaps it loves the place so deeply that it remains unmoved?

Dr. Chen stared intently at the giant screen, her eyes wishing they could capture every single detail.

"There is no second possibility. The Beast King's landing this time is specifically to seek out Yamata!"

"Then, Dr. Chen, should we consider this a good thing or a bad thing?"
