NOVEL NEXT Chapter 567: The Savior
As the thousand-hand centipede rampaged across Japan, countries around the world had already received the news of Tokyo's sea monster attack, and nations capable of launching satellites redirected them to the Tokyo region.
From the satellite view, the vast Tokyo City was engulfed in smoke, its bustling architectural landscape reduced to ruins, with hardly any intact buildings left in the entire city.
Seeing this, the leaders of these countries were all shocked, especially at the sight in the Japanese sky of that creature, flapping its wings, roaring with arrogance, adorned with grim pale corpse hands, over five hundred meters long, a terrifying thousand-hand centipede, inducing an almost suffocating sensation.
Including the Beautiful Country, their Black Palace leadership was equally shocked.
In fact, as early as the attack on Yokosuka, the Black Palace had convened an emergency meeting, but before they could figure out a plan, they received the latest news of the destruction of the Yokosuka Military Port, followed by the annihilation of Tokyo.
In the following days, the Black Palace nearly held meetings several times a day, like now.
"Professor Olvera, is this sea monster the one you mentioned, which sank the Mitchell and Zuo Liang frigates, the one from the deep-sea island of Mariana Trench?"
Jesmin looked at the electronic screen hanging in front, which was playing satellite reconnaissance footage of the thousand-hand centipede destroying Tokyo.
Modern satellite technology captures images with great precision, so Jesmin could clearly feel how terrifying the centipede sea monster was.
Even viewing it only via video, he felt a shudder, not to mention facing it directly; standing before such a monster, how small humans seemed.
Professor Olvera, questioned by Jesmin, was full of excitement. He originally planned to go out to sea two days later to track traces of the ancient civilization's deep-sea island, but at this critical moment, he suddenly received an urgent summons from the Beautiful Country's officials and then arrived at the meeting room to witness the live broadcast of the centipede sea monster ravaging Tokyo.
"President Jesmin, after computer comparison, the similarity between them in certain areas is as high as 95.8%. Unless such a terrifying centipede sea monster has a twin, or a mating pair, I can quite certainly say this is the sea monster we encountered on the ancient civilization's deep-sea island of Mariana Trench."
Professor Olvera's eyes burned with excitement. Although only a glimpse of the sea monster was captured at the Mariana Trench, modern technology is very advanced. Through manual and computer comparisons, numerous matching similarities with this centipede sea monster were found, confirming its exact origin.
"One is already incredible; if there are two, what do we humans even play at?"
Jesmin's mouth twitched slightly, not because he intended to belittle himself, but because the centipede sea monster before him was too terrifying. Weapons were largely ineffective, and he even doubted whether the most fearsome human weapon, the nuclear bomb, could kill it.
Jesmin thought this way and asked: "What is the military's view, what weapon can harm such a sea monster?"
Harmon, the Minister of Defense of the Beautiful Country, cleared his throat and explained: "Mr. President, we currently know very little about this centipede sea monster. Based on its current display of combat power, ordinary hot weapons are basically entirely ineffective, and this sea monster can treat military ships with tens of thousands of tons of displacement as toys. A body that can bear such strength must possess equally robust defensive capabilities; otherwise, its muscles and bones would break first. Furthermore, judging from satellite footage, this sea monster can unleash destruction akin to a nuclear bomb. I think even nuclear bombs are probably hard to effectively kill it, at least not with just one or two, but rather a high-yield hydrogen bomb."
Harmon's words made the expressions of those present quite unsightly. It's quite challenging to comprehend that even the strongest weapon, the nuclear bomb, might not be able to kill a sea monster.
Standing behind Harmon, Navy Colonel Eller, who participated in the exploration of the deep-sea island, also attended the meeting this time. He agreed: "I think so too; I don't know if any of you have seen the Godzilla movie series. In those movies, there are monsters that grow by absorbing nuclear energy, and human nuclear bombs not only fail to kill the monster but also make it evolve, becoming even stronger."
Although reality is different from the movies, everyone, those sea monsters that appeared in Geshan County had dense nuclear radiation remnants detected in their bodies. Additionally, these sea monsters repeatedly attack Japan; saying they have nothing to do with Japan's Pacific discharge of nuclear wastewater, I find hard to believe.
These sea monsters have a deep connection with nuclear radiation; nuclear weapons are best not used lightly. If, like in the movies, nuclear weapons are ineffective and anger the sea monsters, then the situation...
Eller did not continue, just pointed to the current state of Tokyo City captured by satellite on the screen, the implication was obvious.
"Everyone, have you misunderstood the problem? It's the Japanese who are dying; why should we fight this centipede sea monster?"
At this moment, Olvera suddenly interjected, looking expressionless: "The discussion makes me feel quite odd; Japan has a population of 130 million. Before all their blood is shed, we have no reason to intervene."
