The Final Blow-If He Couldn't Win, He'd Run
"Roar roar roar————"
Godzilla breathes fire, its massive, mountain-like body lying horizontally and expanding into a sphere. Because of its long tail, it looks like a gluttonous snake, which is quite comical.
The immense energy was on the verge of collapse, leaking from the gaps in its dense scales. Godzilla's entire body radiated blue light, and heat surged from its mouth, nose, eyes, and other parts.
"Oh no, it's about to self-destruct!"
Unit-01 and Belial fled for their lives. The compressed, terrifying energy was like a world-destroying volcano, and the sky and earth would collapse in the next second. If they didn't run now, it would be too late.
"Idiots, no matter how fast you run, can you outrun light?"
Russell turned and pinned the two down, his crimson electronic eyes blazing as he used a spatial jump to bring them to the edge of the mountain range. He abandoned Unit-01 and Belial, then scooped up Duan Xinlan and Kang Xi, the two with the weakest defenses, and teleported them far away.
Originally intending to just watch Godzilla self-destruct, he seemed to have thought of something and, as if possessed, returned to the edge of the mountain range, found the five bodysuit warriors piloting the Mecha Zord, and took them away from the danger zone as well.
As for the others, may they have good luck!
In a corner of the battlefield, fifteen Werewolf lay on the ground digging holes. As a skill they were born with, they dug hundreds of meters deep in just a few strokes. The more they dug, the happier they became, and they continued to dig deeper because they were not satisfied.
Rumble—
Above the crater, a blinding flash of intense white light erupted, as if the entire world had turned white in an instant.
The earth trembled violently, followed by a deafening roar and a giant mushroom of fire rising into the sky.
The white light gradually changed, from a point of gold to a blazing red, and black clouds shot into the sky. Sonic boom clouds layered upon each other, spreading outwards in all directions.
A sharp, piercing sound filled the air. The earth's surface was first smeared away by the intense heat, and then another layer was ripped away by the shockwave. As far as the eye could see, everything was shrouded in a gray haze, blocking out all light.
Russell shook off the dust, quickly got up, and without caring whether Duan Xinlan and Kang Xi, whom he was protecting, were injured, he used space jump to return to the edge of the mountain.
This place can no longer be called a mountain range. The intense heat destroyed everything; the scorched soil evaporated, leaving nothing but crystalline glass that would shatter underfoot.
Dust floated in the sky, obstructing visibility and making it impossible to see whether Godzilla in the central position was still alive.
Splash!
The crystalline surface cracked open, and Unit-01 and Belial struggled to crawl out, severely injured and unable to fight.
"The mission hasn't been completed yet, Godzilla is still alive, hurry up and finish him off."
Upon hearing Guan Yin's words, Russell decisively flew towards the center of the explosion. Before leaving, he used telekinesis to throw the two heavily wounded units far away. Unit-01 was alright, but Belial was clearly exhausted and beyond saving; leaving him unattended would mean certain death if he were to transform into human form and be exposed to the dust.
The closer you get to the central area, the higher the temperature becomes, and prismatic crystals begin to appear on the ground, as if a meteorite crater instance is being refreshed.
Russell roughly understood the reason: the initial crater was created by Godzilla's self-explosion, releasing excess energy from its body and compressing it into a crystalline form, which was then reintroduced into the body for enhancement when needed.
Russell knew very little about the MonsterVerse; a knowledgeable person would have cried out for Godzilla to show mercy. With that scene, coupled with a Mothra capable of suppressing energy rampages, Godzilla could have immediately entered its blazing state and dominated the fight.
Understanding the importance of the lens to Godzilla, Russell raised his spear above his head, causing a surge of air and a flash of black light, as black thunderclouds slowly gathered in the sky.
This is Mecha Zord's skill. After being fused with Russell, it underwent a mutation. The Five Colors light representing justice became as black as ink, and the silver-white lightning turned into a deep dark red.
Lightning bolts struck, hundreds upon hundreds of dark red bolts hitting the ground and blasting deep craters. The dark red lightning bolts raced forward, carving out countless grooves and shattering the Crystal prism into dust.
Dust particles carry an electric charge. In static electricity, they attract opposite charges, slowly condense and fall, instantly clearing the field of vision.
Lightning swept across the entire area, shattering the Crystal pillars one by one until everything was gone.
Russell hesitated for three seconds, then continued to summon lightning, which accumulated in the sky, causing the thunderclouds to grow larger and larger, and slowly descend over the crater.
The Lightning Snake, moving at breakneck speed, emerged from the darkness with a deafening roar. The black lightning emitted an ominous aura, making the area appear extremely eerie.
"Roar roar roar————"
Godzilla's eyes gleamed with ferocity, and its unharmed body emerged from the lava, just as it had when it first appeared. Even its size had changed; its height had shrunk to 100 meters, its energy was stable, and its dorsal fins no longer glowed.
The man and the beast stared at each other from afar. Godzilla opened its blood-red maw, its back gleaming, gathering energy to release its Atomic Breath.
Russell used a space jump to dodge and arrived in front of Godzilla, his spear piercing through Godzilla's chest.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
With continuous teleportation attacks, Russell moved at high speed, hovering around Godzilla, his spear leaving a bloody hole in Godzilla each time.
If it were anyone else, Russell would have to consider whether it was reasonable to do this, but there was no need to when dealing with Godzilla.
His short arms are useless; you can't even touch him!
Enraged, Godzilla lunged forward to protect its vulnerable belly, unleashing a torrent of rays from its dorsal fin and launching an indiscriminate, map-wide attack.
The beam of light was extremely penetrating, tearing through the void in the blink of an eye and turning the black thunderclouds into a hornet's nest. However, Russell, the real target of the attack, had already left after sensing that things were not going well.
Godzilla's biggest weakness is its speed. Perhaps it can breathe Radiation Heat Ray and fly by using the reaction force, using the Crow Flight to make up for its inability to fly, and sit on and kill aerial targets. However, against Russell, who can Teleportation at any time regardless of distance, this weakness is magnified.
Rumble!!
After unleashing a burst of energy, Godzilla sprang to its feet, feeling refreshed. Yes, it does have short arms, but that's because it no longer needs to regress. Don't be fooled by its massive size and the earth-shaking tremors it causes; these are just illusions to deceive its enemies. It's a monster that reigns supreme with rays, and it's not a melee fighter.
Whoosh!
A blur flashed before its eyes, and another hole appeared in its chest. Godzilla decisively dropped to the ground, unleashing its full power of back-firing beams. No matter if it couldn't catch Russell, it would stay put and not get up today; let's see who outlasts whom.
Russell dodged with a spatial jump, frowned as he glanced at the countdown. His self-destruction had wasted a lot of time, leaving only one minute remaining.
Thunderclouds rolled across the sky, their terrifying power accumulating to its limit. Russell took a deep breath; the radioactive material was pungent yet invigorating, much more potent than PM2.5.
"No wonder they all smoke Ivan cigarettes for the big shots now, they're really strong..."
After Russell finished speaking, he teleported behind Godzilla, twisted his body to avoid the Radiation Heat Ray, and used his spear to unleash lightning, piercing deep into the dorsal fin.
If he can't win this final blow, then he will...
They're about to run away!
