The Blow to Godzilla

The two Gunboat approached rapidly. These 20-meter-long iron boxes appeared tiny in comparison to Godzilla's hundreds-of-meters-long form.

Godzilla paid no attention to the metal box dangling around it. As the overlord of Big Origin Star for countless years, it had the right to despise any existence.

It headed directly towards the explosion site with a clear purpose, paying no attention to anything else.

This gave the two Gunboat an opportunity; they circled Godzilla from a distance of two or three kilometers, observing the behemoth.

"Incredible!" Dr. Lute exclaimed again. "When do we plan to make our move?"

"Once it's away from the shore, with our current equipment, there's not much we can do to it in the sea," Kamas said.

Lu nodded in agreement. Indeed, they were too few people. Given the speed the monster displayed in the sea and the depth of the ocean, if the monster escaped into the sea after being attacked, they really didn't have any good solutions.

If the monster retreats and doesn't come out again, they might slink back or wait for reinforcements.

Neither of these outcomes is something anyone wants to see.

The first method, bringing back a message, and bringing back physical objects yield vastly different results.

The second option, waiting here for reinforcements for decades? Even if there are any gains by then, the newly arrived commander will definitely get the lion's share. Not to mention, by the time they return to their Mother Planet, more than two hundred years may have passed.

My family and friends on my Mother Planet, who didn't go into space hibernation, have likely already reached the end of their lives. In that case, many things would lose their meaning.

Two hours later, Godzilla had made a difficult 20-kilometer journey. Although it moved very slowly, its stride was still quite large for a creature that was hundreds of meters tall.

During this time, the two Gunboat that were following it had taken pictures of it from all angles, even capturing close-ups of the soles of its feet when it lifted its feet.

Kamas has already sent all nine remaining squads over.

Seven of the ships set up defensive positions behind Godzilla to prevent Godzilla from escaping back to the sea, while the remaining two operated all the Gunboat to provide fire support.

Transport Craft also carried heavy artillery, tanks, and other equipment to the front lines during this period.

These elite team members are all all-rounders, and they can easily master various equipment.

As for the land direction, no firing positions were set up. As long as Godzilla didn't escape back into the sea, it would be like a catfish on a chopping board on land, at their mercy.

Another hour passed, Godzilla was now 30 kilometers away from the sea. It seems the nuclear explosion had a very strong attraction for it. Otherwise, given its nature, it probably wouldn't have gone to the trouble of traveling so far.

"Let's begin." Sensing the time was right, Kamas whispered into the communicator.

The Guard Team, who had been waiting impatiently, opened fire immediately upon hearing the sound.

More than a dozen long-range artillery pieces fired even thicker energy beams. These artillery pieces were like enlarged versions of firearms, and their firing rate was only slightly slower than that of firearms.

This speed would be somewhat slow for firearms, but for artillery, it would be ridiculously fast.

At the same time, a total of ten Gunboat also began their attack, firing red energy beams to strike Godzilla from the air.

Five other squads, due to the effective firing range of their firearms, were scattered two kilometers away from Godzilla and attacked it.

A deluge of red beams poured down from the sky!

Godzilla, suddenly attacked, was somewhat bewildered. How long had it been since it had encountered a creature that had actively attacked it? This was a question it would probably need to ponder for a long time.

But now is clearly not a good time to think about it.

"How is this possible?" The same exclamation rang out on the bridge, at the artillery positions, on the Gunboat, and along the front lines.

The energy beams were less effective against Godzilla than expected. Although the Riken tried switching between two attack modes, the Penetration Mode struggled to penetrate Godzilla's thick outer armor. Aside from leaving small dents, it didn't do much good.

The Burst Mode was even worse. The level of explosion and burning was laughable to Godzilla, who could bathe in lava and generate fusion reactions inside his stomach.

As for those individual firearms, they're practically nothing compared to what's to come by.

Godzilla is clearly not one to just take a beating without fighting back.

Its dorsal fin began to light up, a faint buzzing sound filled the air, and even the air seemed to become much hotter.

Whether it was the Cat Ear Spaceship, the Gunboat, or the portable equipment of special reconnaissance soldiers, they were all frantically sounding alarms.

"Fusion strike detected, be careful!"

"Watch out, it's about to attack!"

A ray of red light extended upwards from Godzilla, eventually illuminating its entire abdomen and neck with a red line. It opened its massive mouth, and a thick beam of energy shot out from it.

Due to the limited attack range, the artillery positions more than 20 kilometers away, despite having the fiercest firepower, were not the primary targets.

The Gunboat had already taken off and moved away from Godzilla the instant the alarm sounded, and their agility allowed them to escape unscathed.

Thus, the individual soldier squad closest to Godzilla became the unfortunate first targets.

The Riken had initially guessed that Godzilla possessed long-range attack capabilities, but Major Kamas hoped to finish the job in one fell swoop, concentrating all his firepower to instantly defeat Godzilla.

Therefore, he risked having the Guard Team use individual weapons to participate in the attack.

Unfortunately, he overestimated the power of his own civilization's weapons and underestimated Godzilla's defenses.

Although he issued a retreat order the moment he realized the attack was ineffective, he did not expect Godzilla's counterattack to be so swift.

Furthermore, the escort squad that had gathered together to board the transport ship only hastened their demise.

One of the five teams won the grand prize.

A fiery Thermonuclear Breath descended from the sky, blasting a mushroom cloud into their rendezvous point before they could even react.

The protective suits worn by the team members outside the transport ship proved useless, as they were instantly vaporized. The transport ship itself was blown apart and severely damaged. Whether there are any survivors inside will require a post-battle search and rescue operation.

One shot wasn't Godzilla's style; the energy alarms continued, and after a brief interval, the second Thermonuclear Breath followed, sending another escort team into the air.

Fortunately, before the third Thermonuclear Breath energy, the other three teams had already boarded the ship and successfully evacuated.

However, the fact that one-fifth of the Guard Team was wiped out in an instant was due to tactical issues. If there is no corresponding explanation or gains afterward, Major Kamas might not only fail to gain any credit upon returning, but could even face a military court-martial.

Kamas realized this too, and his lips tightened slightly.

"Kamas, pull yourself together and lead the battle. As long as we can capture this monster, Lute and I will cover up this mistake in our report later."
