Godzilla Earth: Origin

With a 250-meter-tall body rising from the ocean, Godzilla, with its iron-gray skin covered in seawater, stood under the sunlight.

Surrounding it were human structures, but the city was now devoid of people.

Upon learning that Godzilla’s destination in the seawater pointed here, the people evacuated to Osaka and Hokkaido.

Now, they are waiting for Godzilla’s next move.

Is Godzilla heading west towards Nagoya and Osaka?

Or is it going east to completely flatten the far eastern edge?

Humans are paying attention to Godzilla, observing its every move through satellites and flying drones, aiming to gain an information advantage for the upcoming battle.

And Godzilla? Its eyes scan the deserted city of Shizuoka, emitting flames from its mouth.

It decides to level all of humanity’s creations first.

The air ionizes as Godzilla opens its mouth, aiming at the center of the city.

Then… it fires!

A dazzling beam of light shoots out from Godzilla’s mouth at supersonic speed, piercing through everything, penetrating every tall building that stands between Godzilla and the city center, causing them to collapse.

Crack…

A blazing, scorching fireball rises behind, shining brighter and hotter than the midday sun.

The buildings pierced by the intense atomic breath start emitting sounds of strain as they begin to collapse.

Some topple in one direction, while others crumble from within.

Some explode directly because they absorbed too much heat due to the thick impact point.

Buildings over 100 meters tall collapse one after another.

Some buildings, during the process of collapsing, come into contact with the high-temperature breath, causing secondary destruction. Others collide with neighboring buildings that are already collapsing, resulting in a complete mess in the air.

Ignoring the unlucky ones that collided with the breath a second time…

As for those skyscrapers that didn’t encounter the breath for the second time… as they are about to crash to the ground, something else arrives.

Faster than the collapsing buildings, it’s the shockwave.

A blinding, unimaginably bright light that illuminates everything.

In the city, some exposed paper spontaneously combusts without fire, some fabrics start to burn, and then plastic begins to melt. Glass shatters without warning.

“Boom!!!!!!!!”

At this moment, the impact generated by the blazing fireball behind, brighter than the sun, finally arrives.

The collapsing buildings are pushed several tens of meters outward by the impact. Smaller structures are flattened outright by the force.

Countless vehicles mixed with debris are propelled at supersonic speeds, smashing into various houses, even destroying areas that were not affected by Godzilla’s breath.

All glass within a radius of several kilometers shatters under the impact. The blazing sun behind grows increasingly brighter, engulfing all surrounding structures.

The fireball grows taller and larger, burning continuously for several minutes, melting everything it envelops.

The fireball subsided, and in its place rose a mushroom cloud, several kilometers in diameter and tens of kilometers high. Its dark gray body connected heaven and earth, resembling a mythical pillar supporting the sky.

The entire city center of Shizuoka was completely destroyed by Godzilla’s breath.

But this was far from the end.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—”

Godzilla’s breath swept through a wider area, cutting through the mushroom cloud and creating multiple suns behind it.

Tall buildings were knocked down by the shockwave, combustible materials in the open ignited under the intense heat, and countless debris and solidifying glass rained down from the sky, creating a shower of fire.

Godzilla continued its rampage. In less than ten minutes, Shizuoka, just like Tokyo ten days ago, was engulfed in a sea of flames.

The city was devastated, so where would it go next?

Godzilla opened the human radar in its vision and, after careful consideration, moved towards the southwest direction, heading for Nagoya and Osaka.

Why choose the southwest in the end? Isn’t it obvious? There are more humans and more cities over there.

After all, it intends to drive humans out of this universe.

…

Meanwhile, in the far eastern command center in Osaka, several hundred kilometers away:

“Hurry, hurry! Godzilla is moving in our direction! Prepare the Anti-Godzilla cannons!”

“The conventional forces in the Nagoya Mountains direction are already in position, and several frontline bases have been set up to prevent EMP!”

“What about the incendiary agent? What’s the situation at Nagoya Airport? Can satellite communication meet the needs of the frontline heavy machinery?”

“It’s loaded and ready. One-fifth of the unmanned bombers have been loaded with the incendiary agent. MOP-4 deep penetrating bombs are also equipped and ready to take off!”

“Good!”

Almost everyone in the command room was busy. After all, Godzilla had just confirmed its movement towards their direction. It would be strange if they weren’t busy.

The situation was extremely urgent. If they were even slightly negligent and delayed in combating Godzilla…

They would become criminals against all of humanity! And it could even lead to their loved ones being killed by that monster.

Therefore, they had to do their best, even if they had already double-checked everything. They needed to reconfirm now and ensure there was no room for error.

Everyone thought the same way, but even so, there were a few individuals “slacking off” at this moment.

And these slackers happened to be among the highest-ranking officials present, including General Hirozou Satou, the Army Commander of the Far East District.

He is currently leisurely brewing tea.

Beside Hirozou Satou are several other generals stationed to oversee the operations in the Far East District. They are the only ones in this busy command room who seem to be taking a break.

However, from their facial expressions, it is clear that these stationed generals are displeased with General Satou’s tea brewing at this moment.

Nevertheless, they hold their frustrations back because they know that General Satou is a person directly parachuted down by the United Government.

This level of trust from the United Government is evident.

They have also heard about his record leading counterterrorism operations during his early days.

But while counterterrorism tactics may apply to their current situation, dealing with Godzilla is an entirely different matter. Can he really accomplish it?

A general couldn’t help but ask with skepticism, “Given the current situation, why are you so relaxed, sir? Aren’t you going to do something? Like reassessing Godzilla’s progress and comparing it to your predictions?”

Upon hearing this, Satou simply glanced at him with slight surprise and responded, “Ah, General Ivan. The things you mentioned are not the commander’s responsibilities. The commander is in charge of strategic and tactical deployments, not tactical execution.”

“Now, I have already arranged a comprehensive plan. What needs to be done has been done. So why not enjoy ourselves a little? This might be our final time, you never know.”

General Ivan found this answer difficult to accept. He approached Satou, lowered his voice, and questioned with a hint of doubt, “Even if the tactical arrangements have been made, you should not be resting like this.”

“You should be double-checking, reconsidering if there are better tactics. Mr. Satou, do you truly believe that the current tactics can completely defeat Godzilla? You underestimate Godzilla!”

General Ivan’s words were undoubtedly reasonable.

In response, Commander Satou remained silent.

He could only think to himself.

On the contrary, General Ivan, the question isn’t whether the current tactics can completely defeat Godzilla.

The question is that apart from it, we have no other possibility of defeating it.

So, for now, this is the only way.
