I Am Godzilla

The mountain peak was splitting open.

Rolling red lava streamed down through the cracks toward the foot of the mountain.

Yet this was not all.

The giant volcano erupted. With a thunderous roar, black smoke burst forth alongside an explosive blast.

Massive boulders of molten rock, like countless meteors, sprayed into the sky from the eruption.

Then, carrying immense force and flames, these countless lava boulders rained down upon the battlefield around the mountain, striking friend and foe alike without distinction!

In that moment, it was like true doomsday—within a radius of over ten kilometers, the land was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire!

The mountain peak was shrouded in endless black clouds!

These black clouds were formed by the high temperature and vast amounts of volcanic ash spreading after the eruption.

On the ground, the countless falling lava boulders had already turned it into a blazing inferno!

However, for the three races who had prepared in advance, this opening scene of apocalypse did not inflict much harm on them.

They were giant beast races, Extraordinary Races after all.

With their powerful bodies and agile movements, most of them dodged the bombardment of lava boulders falling from the sky.

Only a few unfortunate souls who failed to react in time lost their lives.

By now, the three races had already separated from the battlefield.

The Dinosaur People gathered near the mountain, lava rolling down from above.

Yet these Dinosaur People had great resistance to lava, flames, and even high temperatures.

Some Dinosaur People even stepped on the scorching lava without feeling pain, finding it quite comfortable instead.

But at this moment, the Dinosaur People cared less about the flames and lava; their gazes were fixed on the mountain peak, which was continuously spewing molten rock.

Their eyes burned with fervor and ecstasy.

Amid this doomsday scene, each and every one of them was inexplicably excited and stirred.

Not only were the Dinosaur People watching the mountain peak, but the Serpent People and Shark People were also staring at the erupting volcano with the utmost vigilance.

Around the battlefield, the sky was filled with spreading black smoke clouds, while the ground was steadily overtaken by smoke and flames.

As the temperature soared, the Shark People and the numerous Sea Beasts suffered the most, constantly shifting positions and moving closer to water sources.

As for the Serpent People and Serpent monsters, they grew uneasy, scanning their surroundings with crimson vertical pupils.

The entire upheaval did not last long.

Perhaps five minutes, or maybe ten.

In any case, as the three races continuously relayed messages and adjusted their gathering positions, finally—

With a mighty roar, a colossal figure suddenly appeared at the center of the volcanic eruption.

Breaking free from the restraints of the rock layers, shaking off all discomfort.

An had finally awakened.

"ROAR!!!"

An ecstatic roar echoed across the entire sky.

The roar unleashed a majestic wave of sound, instantly drowning out all other noise around!

An felt how hard-won this was—he had finally awakened, finally able to move freely!

So he couldn't help but let out a heartfelt, prolonged roar.

At the lava-covered mountain peak, after An's exhilarating roar, he instinctively stretched his limbs slowly, like someone waking from sleep.

But as he moved, An finally noticed his current abnormality.

He was standing upright, not crawling as before.

His forelimbs had evolved into short, stout limbs, yet they bore the outline of human hands.

His lower limbs were thick and powerful, like sturdy stone thighs.

In shock, An turned his head to look at his own body.

The next moment, An was completely dumbfounded.

"This look?"

"No way?"

An was stunned and incredulous.

Extending his short forelimbs, he lowered his head and touched his own face.

Somewhat flat, somewhat square.

Then, An finally confirmed it.

I'm fucking Godzilla!

"So I've turned into Godzilla! No wonder the Dinosaur Elder felt close to me and worshipped me as a primal faith."

Kang Qiao didn't know how to express what he was feeling right now.

A little secretly pleased, yet a bit speechless.

Secretly pleased because Brother Flathead's Godzilla was at least a creature he recognized.

Sure, it was a so-called monster, but still better than a lizard, right?

At least it had enough cool factor.

In this unfamiliar world, getting a second life was already a win.

As for becoming Godzilla, that was a massive jackpot.

But the speechless part was that Kang Qiao found it all baffling.

How did he end up as Godzilla?

What was the reason?

Well, there was absolutely no clue about that.

Instead of dwelling on useless thoughts, Kang Qiao turned his attention back to reality.

Standing atop the mountain peak, behind him was a surging lava bath with billowing smoke.

Looking down from the mountain.

Kang Qiao finally noticed the dense swarm of bugs at the foot of the mountain.

No.

Those weren't bugs, but in Kang Qiao's eyes, they were Primal dinosaurs about the size of bugs, and even smaller Dinosaur Elder.

A massive crowd of Dinosaur Elder kept shouting something at Kang Qiao in high-pitched voices.

But to Kang Qiao's ears, it felt like his dog at home barking nonstop.

Anyway, the tones and syllables all sounded the same, completely incomprehensible.

And because the shouts weren't synchronized, to Kang Qiao's ears it was like countless mosquitoes buzzing, a bit unpleasant.

"Great God of Lava and Earth, our Father God!"

"You are the master of lava, the ruler of the earth, the greatest deity in this world. The evil Foreign Races are slaughtering your people. Please bring divine punishment upon the Foreign Races and save your people!"

At the foot of the mountain, led by the Dinosaur Elder, the shouts of the Dinosaur Elder gradually turned into a synchronized, fervent prayer.

All the Dinosaur Elder knelt prostrate on the ground, ignoring the flowing lava around them, gazing at the giant beast on the peak with burning reverence.

And further away, two camps of Foreign Races quietly observed the unfolding situation.

Many were fearful, but some were whispering among themselves, seemingly plotting something.

Kang Qiao was a bit curious.

What he was curious about wasn't the Primal dinosaurs, but how those Dinosaur Elder—with dinosaur heads but human-like bodies—had evolved.

How could they be so human-like?

Was this kind of evolution reasonable?

Moreover, from the mountain peak, as Kang Qiao slightly narrowed his pupils to adjust his vision.

He also saw Serpent People with snake tails and human torsos, along with their blood relatives—giant snakes thirty to fifty meters long.

And on the other side, a large group of Shark People with fish heads, along with all kinds of bizarre Sea beasts.

Octopus with eight arms? Colorful sea snakes, and things that looked like walruses.

Anyway, compared to the land-dwelling groups, the Sea beast races under the Shark People clan surprised Kang Qiao the most.

How did these obviously different creatures, not even from the same race, come together? Some kind of symbiotic relationship?

And what had this world become?

Kang Qiao couldn't make sense of it.

But even if he didn't understand the world's changes, there was one thing Kang Qiao roughly grasped.

That was that these guys had been at war with the Dinosaur Elder.

He could conclude that from the large number of corpses left on the distant plains.

He just didn't know if it was a three-way brawl or two against one.

Taking a quick look at the positions of the three factions, well, Kang Qiao had his answer now.

The Dinosaur Elder were clearly being ganged up on two-to-one, and from the casualties on the battlefield, they were completely suppressed.

If he hadn't suddenly woken up, these Dinosaur Elder would probably have been wiped out, right?
