He hadn't even caught the scent of this uninvited giant beast, yet Yamata had. Either Yamata's nose was incredibly sharp, or the two giant beasts had known each other before!
Judging by Yamata's current snarling, displeased expression, their relationship couldn't have been very good.
"What is that?"
Inside Sakurajima Base, everyone was still lamenting Yamata's lack of endurance.
Now that another abnormality had appeared by the shore, the crowd that had just dispersed slightly immediately gathered again!
"A monster? A completely new monster with no records!"
Old Luo gave a definitive answer at once.
As a former pilot and the current commander of Mecha Base, Old Luo had more experience with monsters than even Luo Bing.
Thus, after only a brief glance at this giant beast, which somewhat resembled a nautilus, he determined that none of the monsters in previous records matched its appearance.
Dr. Chen's eyes were already shining brightly as she stared with intense focus.
"This is a Titan Beast that has never been discovered before!"
"Perhaps she came to celebrate the Beast King's victory?"
Seeing that the three giant beasts on the large screen showed no signs of fighting, Old Luo accepted the claim that the Nautilus Giant Beast was a Titan Beast.
Yet he was still somewhat puzzled.
"Do Titan Beasts celebrate after a victory now? If the Beast King hadn't won, would this Titan Beast have just stayed hidden in the sea and refused to come out?"
"We'll know if we keep watching. There must be a reason," Dr. Chen said without even turning her head.
At that moment, Lin Wange in the back raised her hand and asked.
"Old Luo! Shangang's already dead without even a body left. Luo Bing and the others are still on the way. Is there any point in going over now?"
"Should we tell the Pipi Shrimp to turn around and come back?"
Turn around on the spot and have the Pipi Shrimp aircraft carrier perform a return trip across the Pacific Ocean!
Her words made sense, and quite a few people nodded in agreement.
But Old Luo shook his head.
"Commander Lan could naturally think of what you can think of. Since he hasn't given the order, he must have some other intention."
After Old Luo rejected her suggestion, Lin Wange muttered and fell silent.
"Maybe he just forgot..."
At the site of Shangang's death in Malaysia.
As the Nautilus Giant Beast crawled onto land, the atmosphere became somewhat different.
The Beast King turned his head and watched Yamata bare his fangs in warning without actually starting a fight. It was quite amusing.
Meanwhile, the Nautilus Giant Beast made soft "woo woo" sounds. If they had been any higher, they would have sounded like flute notes, carrying a faintly melodious quality.
The Nautilus Giant Beast continued forward until she reached Beast King Godzilla. Then she lowered herself, displaying her submission with great obedience.
She was far more straightforward than Yamata had been.
Of course, that also had something to do with Yamata having eight heads.
In any group, there were always a few troublemakers. You couldn't expect everyone to be rational.
Faced with Nautilus's obedient submission, Godzilla gave a soft roar in response.
He looked incomparably aloof, but inwardly, he was feeling delighted.
If word got out later, it would probably become a legend: the Beast King merely stood there, and a Titan Beast emerged from the deep sea and climbed ashore.
The Beast King unleashed unparalleled dominance, and the Titan Beast immediately bowed its head in submission.
With a little "artistic embellishment," a story like that should have no problem being passed down for generations, Godzilla thought.
Setting aside those strange flights of fancy for now.
The Beast King lowered his head slightly, looked at Nautilus, and roared a question.
"Roar~"
You didn't come ashore when I was facing Shangang, but now that the fight is over, you show up? Are you some legendary after-the-fact flatterer?
Nautilus seemed to understand the Beast King's question.
The tentacles on her face brushed against the Beast King's sturdy thigh. Then she turned sideways and looked toward the land.
This land that Shangang had polluted.
One of the tentacles from her abdomen reached into the sea. Then Nautilus, standing on shore, opened her mouth wide and blasted out crystal-clear seawater like a water cannon!
That output was far more powerful than Yamata's!
The massive volume of seawater, with an obvious purifying effect, instantly swept across Malaysia's land. Under Nautilus's deliberate aim, it first drenched Yamata like a drowned rat before the water cannon shifted toward the surrounding area.
Wherever the seawater spat out by Nautilus washed over, once it receded, only the faint salty freshness of the sea breeze remained.
The ground was also spotless, completely rid of the foul stench left behind by the pollution.
Yamata, drenched like a drowned rat, let out an enraged howl.
He looked up and saw Nautilus standing beside Beast King Godzilla, as though she had received the Beast King's permission to do all this.
Boss Head was furious, looking like he could no longer swallow this insult.
But in the end, the other little brothers came forward and talked him down one after another.
Big brother, calm down, calm down!
Reinforcements Arrived, Though Late (4)
Under the comfort of a group of useless, spineless little brothers, Boss Head temporarily calmed down and did not charge straight at Nautilus to fight her.
But it was easy to imagine that he would not let this grudge go so easily.
"Hiss—"
Boss, I'm leaving first. You all have fun here. I don't want to see that water snail again!
After lightly hissing this meaning to the Beast King, Yamata turned to look at him. Seeing that the Beast King had no objection, Yamata felt as though he had been granted amnesty.
He swiftly stepped into the sea and left Malaysia's shores.
Although many volcanoes remained active across Malaysia's island chain, Yamata had no intention of hibernating here.
One reason was that he wanted to return home to sleep. After all, it was familiar there; no place was better than one's own home.
The more important reason was that he did not want to see the Nautilus Giant Beast again.
The relationship between the two Titan Beasts was far from harmonious. Even being a little too close to each other made them uncomfortable.
Both had also firmly memorized the other's scent. As long as one appeared nearby, the other would notice immediately.
Rather than saying that the Nautilus Giant Beast had come to celebrate the Beast King's victory and submit to him—
It was more accurate to say that she had been awakened by an old enemy. She followed him all the way here and only then discovered Beast King Godzilla.
If she had slipped away quietly at that point, it would have been troublesome if Yamata later tattled on her.
So she had simply stepped out openly.
There was nothing humiliating about submitting to the Beast King. It should have been only natural.
More importantly, she could take the opportunity to annoy Yamata, her old enemy.
Watching Yamata dive into the water, leaving even faster than he had arrived.
Godzilla wondered, Were you really that eager to return to your little nest and sleep?
Speaking of sleep, the Beast King glanced toward the distant sea. Black dots had already appeared on the far-off ocean.
That was the Pipi Shrimp.
The reinforcements had arrived!
Although the fight had ended ages ago, and Shangang's corpse had first been hit by magma and then doused in treated seawater, enduring both fire and ice until it was nearly washed into pulp—
The reinforcements had arrived in the end. They were just... a little late.
Late, but here. Their promise was fully delivered.
After checking the remaining activity time in the Golden Finger space and seeing the notification that fewer than five minutes remained, the Beast King opened his mouth and gave a low rumble before slowly entering the sea and leaving as well.
Only the Nautilus Giant Beast remained on the beach, diligently cleaning up.
But after the Beast King left, Nautilus's two eyes darted around twice, and her body began to tremble.
Then six slender, sharp, long carapace legs, like a spider's lower limbs, extended from her nautilus shell.
This was her true form!
Perhaps because she had felt suppressed and restrained earlier, she now felt much more comfortable after being freed, letting out two cheerful "woo woo" cries.
So the way she had moved with octopus tentacles before had been meant to fool the Beast King!
After all, when she had used those octopus tentacles to move, she had only been eighty meters tall. With a nautilus-shaped body and a few octopus tentacles, she was completely unsuited for moving on land.
Under those circumstances, as long as she expressed submission, the Beast King would never regard her as a threat.
But things were different now. Her current appearance was her true face.
Once she moved using her spider legs, her height instantly rose to one hundred meters, slightly taller than the Beast King's current ninety meters.
That small difference in height was enough to make the petty Beast King develop murderous intent and eliminate a threat.
At this moment, this body combining the characteristics of a nautilus, octopus, spider, and more was the Perfect Form of this Titan Beast!
Then she opened her mouth once again and began spraying seawater, her demeanor becoming far more relaxed and content.
Moving in her Perfect Form was much more convenient. The posture of paddling along with octopus tentacles earlier had been far too awkward!
Although she had returned to her original appearance, she still had to finish cleaning up.
The Beast King might come inspect the work later, and this Titan Beast had no desire to become his enemy.
Though she stood a head taller than the Beast King, she did not dare act wildly before him when it came to actual combat power.
Especially since... she could sense that the Beast King was still growing slowly, yet continuously.
"She was deliberately showing weakness, using her vulnerable appearance to gain the Beast King's acceptance rather than his hostility!"
Having watched the entire scene on the large screen, Dr. Chen spoke based on the knowledge she understood.
"In nature, when one predator is much weaker than another, it may receive the stronger one's protection. It is also common for them to form a group and live together."
"But if two predators are close in strength, they will inevitably fight until one of them dies!"
"There can only be one King!"
Dr. Chen sighed.
"This Titan Beast is very intelligent!"
"She showed weakness to the Beast King and successfully gained his approval. That way, she no longer needs to worry about the Beast King attacking her later."
"The Beast King is an extremely proud existence. Based on the information currently known, aside from being very interested in killing monsters, he spends most of his time hidden in the sea hibernating."
"Only this time, when he traveled all the way to Malaysia, did he summon Yamata. Normally, he never interferes with the lives of the Titan Beasts under him."
What kind of boss didn't interfere with his little brothers' lives? Where could one even find a boss like that?
