The area she was currently fleeing toward was a different stretch of the sea.

Despite missing half of her head, Shangang, who still maintained her massive physique, showed absolutely no desire to fight!

From the very first moment she laid eyes on Godzilla, she had no intention of fighting; she was solely focused on escaping!

Four years ago, she had been even more severely injured than she was now, yet she had still held on until the very end before retreating.

Perhaps back then, she still possessed the dignity of the King of Monsters and was unwilling to be defeated by a few machines.

But now, after just a first encounter with Godzilla and experiencing the sensation of a breath attack to the face, she didn't have a shred of dignity left to speak of.

Escaping is shameful, but it works.

Life is important.

Is the head not a fatal weak point?

Muttering this to himself, Beast King Godzilla watched Shangang attempt to flee, naturally unwilling to just stand by and watch.

If the head wasn't a weak point, that didn't mean she had no weak points at all.

It was possible that her brain had been relocated to another part of her body, and the space where her head currently sat was just stuffed with wood shavings.

For a monster with such a massive body, it was perfectly normal for it to be controlled by several different heads.

If I can't see where the weak point is, then I'll just tear everything to shreds!

Even with powerful regenerative abilities, I want to see if you can still reconnect your parts and heal yourself after being completely shredded!

Carrying a long-suppressed rage in his heart—whether it had accumulated recently or was inherited from the original body over the past four years, he didn't know.

Regardless, today, he would burn it all away, tearing his nemesis into a thousand pieces!

"ROAR!"

With a roar that sounded like a whale's long cry mixed with a beast's bellow, Godzilla strode forward with his sturdy, powerful legs. Covering hundreds of meters in just a few steps, he launched a short-range charge and quickly closed the distance to Shangang!

He spun around, his massive tail sweeping out in a horizontal strike that sent Shangang stumbling!

Shangang's outer shell, rated by the Mecha Base as having a defense of 10 and touted as nearly indestructible by human means, was instantly dented with a deep mark, and blue-green blood began to seep out continuously.

Taking advantage of the moment Shangang was sent stumbling by the tail whip, Godzilla seized the opportunity and reached out with his short arms.

He grabbed hold of the strongest of Shangang's six legs—her front left limb—and with a swift motion, he clamped down and refused to let go.

Seeing this display of unsportsmanlike conduct, Shangang just wanted to dodge and call for a timeout, but that wasn't an option.

The Beast King had come prepared; now that he had the upper hand, how could he possibly be interested in making peace with Shangang?

With a surge of strength, he instantly twisted and shattered the bones in Shangang's forelimb. Then, applying force once more, he twisted it a full 360 degrees!

With another heave and another twist, he tore that forelimb straight off Shangang's body as if he were wringing out a piece of dough.

This time, it wasn't just the inexperienced folks from the Philippines; even the people from Sakurajima and those back home who had seen such things before were all standing up, dumbfounded.

They knew the Beast King was strong and that combat power couldn't be measured by height alone.

But they never imagined that the gap in strength between the two sides would be this wide.

Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. The enemies the Beast King had faced before—Scythe Head, the Snake King, the Thunder Beast, the Otter Bull, and so on—might have looked weak, the kind of trash that got beaten to a pulp by the Beast King.

But that was only because they looked weak in the hands of the Beast King, like complete garbage.

And the performance of the King of Monsters, Shangang, was no different from those previous monsters.

Before, there was no comparison, but now, the comparison was here!

In front of the Beast King, they were all pretty much the same—trash!

Watching the Beast King use both hands to exert force and tear off the very forelimbs that Shangang relied on for melee combat, everyone who witnessed this scene was left speechless for a long time.

If it had been any other body part, it might have been understandable if it were torn off due to poor durability.

But these thick forelimbs, Shangang's primary weapons for melee combat, had once smashed through the armor of three different mechs!

Now, they were just like toys...

A more fitting adjective would be that they were like a crawfish; those two thick, powerful, armored forelimbs were torn straight off by Ochoku using nothing but brute force!

Author's Note

Unless something unexpected happens, the book should be officially released tomorrow at noon, hopefully...

I use such weak language because, while I haven't encountered many accidents, I have had a few, and since then, I rarely make any guarantees.

Of course, bonus chapters are the exception.

From the start of this book until now, the public period has maintained a minimum of three chapters a day, and after the official release, the minimum for the first month will remain three chapters.

If something comes up or other matters arise, it might drop to two chapters, but I will definitely inform everyone, ask for leave, and strive to make up for any missed chapters later.

And so, for tomorrow's release, there will be a minimum of six chapters.

Thanks to Nan Xi for all the support along the way; otherwise, as a total newbie, I really would have been clueless about everything. I also hope that when I wake up one day, I won't be turned into soup.

And then, there was a joke that kept popping into my head while writing the last chapter. I wanted to include it, but it really didn't fit, so I've put it here as a little side skit. I hope you all like it.

A friend just asked me, "Teacher Shangang, what happened?" I asked what was going on, and they sent me a few screenshots.

I took one look and went, "Oh, so the Beast King came to pick a fight with me."

I stood up immediately—very quickly—and started off with an Acid Breath, followed by a headshot and a retreat.

When I turned back to look, the Beast King had come prepared.

According to the traditions of a duel, it should have ended at the point of contact. I had already admitted defeat and run away, but I was careless! I didn't dodge, and he smashed my arm right then and there!

I said, "Stop! Stop! You young beast, you have no sense of martial virtue. You tricked an old, fat beast like me—is this right? This is not right."

I was careless, I didn't dodge, and he stunned me with a tail whip. But it didn't matter.

I said, "You young beast, you have no sense of martial virtue, you don't understand." He said, "Teacher Shangang, I'm sorry, I didn't know. I was just hitting randomly, I didn't even use any strength."

Later, he said he had killed many other monsters, so it seems he came prepared. This young beast has no sense of martial virtue, coming to trick and sneak-attack an old, fat beast like me. Is this right?

It is not right. I advise this young beast to take care of himself, reflect on his actions, and not make such small mistakes or try to be clever in the future. As monsters, we should value harmony, practice martial virtue, and not resort to sneak attacks. Thank you, friends!

060. Natural Ecology Protector 1

Hatred and anger were perfectly vented, and the lingering thoughts of the past were finally completely resolved at this moment!

As Beast King Godzilla tore off Shangang's massive forelimb just as easily as one would pull off the claw of a crayfish, this gargantuan King of Monsters let out a heaven-shaking wail.

She knew pain, too!

But she had no idea how many humans had lived in agony for the past few years because of her existence—both physically and mentally.

The lives that perished due to the pollution after the fall of Malaysia—their departed souls were perhaps watching this very scene and applauding!

Godzilla wasn't thinking about any of that right now.

He only had one thought in his mind:

Tear it apart!

Ripping!

And still, damn it, ripping!

The massive, powerful left forelimb was ripped and twisted off, and what about the one on the right?

Both forelimbs, the most threatening weapons in close-quarters combat, were ripped away. Then there were the two middle legs; once those were ripped off, there were still the two hind legs!

One by one, following this sequence, the Beast King used his own seemingly comical, short little arms to completely rip them off!

At this moment, those short little arms, stained with countless blue-green toxic blood, looked anything but ridiculous or comical.

What remained was only an awe-inspiring dominance and an unbearable pressure!

This is the King of Titan Beasts!

This is the answer Godzilla gave to the monster invader!

After pulling off the two forelimbs and four legs as if tearing apart the legs of a lobster, Godzilla still did not stop.

He looked at Shangang's bloated body, especially her back covered in toxic, fleshy bumps, and felt increasingly nauseated.

He was absolutely unwilling to touch that back, which was like a mass of rotting, venomous flesh.

If he wanted to truly slaughter such a super-tank with thick skin and even thicker blood, he would have to use some rather brutal methods.

The half-shattered head was lifted up by Godzilla's short little arms.

In Shangang's eyes, filled with absolute terror, the majestic head of the Beast King leaned in close.

From a distance, if one were to describe this scene with gentle words, it might seem like an incredibly tender moment.

The King of Titan Beasts, Godzilla, held the face of the King of Monsters, Shangang, and the two... the two beasts stared into each other's eyes, gazing at one another with deep affection.

Following the tropes of a typical romance novel, the Beast King should have kissed her right then and there... and he actually did!

Hum—

The two giant beasts were extremely close. Accompanied by a charging sound, the Beast King Godzilla opened his massive maw and poured all of his "deep affection" directly into Shangang's throat!

Regarding the fact that his previous Charged Breath had blasted through Shangang's body but passed right through without killing her, the Beast King had clearly learned from the previous battle and taken the lesson to heart.

Generally speaking, to maximize power, one would compress the breath into a beam as much as possible, aim directly at the opponent's weak point, and one-shot the enemy!

But when this international convention met Shangang, it was challenged.

Godzilla did not need to compress his breath to the extreme; instead, he needed to widen it to strike as much surface area as possible!

That was exactly what the Beast King did with this Charged Breath.

He had only performed two stages of charging before dumping the entire blast, completely uncompressed, straight down Shangang's throat!

The glowing blue beam instantly surged into Shangang's body through the passage. The power of the charged beam was so terrifying that Shangang's stomach visibly expanded, a testament to the sheer volume of energy.

As the Charged Breath wreaked havoc from within, glowing blue specks of light began to leak out from her various wounds.

Breach from the inside!

Or rather, there was no need to breach from the inside; he simply maximized his firepower, directly engulfing Shangang and consuming her entirely, from the inside out!

By the time the Beast King was brutally beating Shangang, Yamata had already landed on the shore.

Watching Shangang being abused in such a manner, he felt a chill run down his spine.

The main head, in particular, felt a wave of relief wash over him.

It was fortunate that his good-for-nothing younger brothers had acted quickly back then, joining forces with all seven heads to suppress him.

Otherwise, given the main head's penchant for provocation, he could already imagine the miserable fate that would have awaited him.

Looking at the savage display of the Beast King, there was no point in trying to curry favor.

The main head couldn't help but shudder before composing himself.

From this day forward, he was the Beast King's loyal underling, and no one would stop him.

By this time, the environmental contamination caused by the massive amount of toxic blood from Shangang had become extremely severe.
