Godzilla Earth: Origin

Chapter 37: Nagoya-Osaka Operation: Failure (Complete)

Godzilla in the footage moved.

The cheering in the command center abruptly stopped, and everyone held their breath, watching Godzilla’s next move.

Everything that needed destruction had been destroyed. It was time to rest, right? Godzilla, return to the sea.

Your body is so overheated. It’s time to cool down in the ocean.

Fuel has been used extensively. After this destruction, it’s time to return and evolve. Godzilla, go back!

Go back, Godzilla! Go back!

Let Godzilla go back. This was the sentiment of everyone present.

During this time, everyone had studied detailed information about Godzilla and knew that it was an unbeatable force for humans at present. Humans needed more time to develop the means to deal with Godzilla, and during that time, they needed Godzilla to provide them with opportunities.

Go back and slumber, Godzilla!

That’s what they thought, but Godzilla’s own thoughts were completely different.

It couldn’t give up yet.

Godzilla, beside the ruins of Nagoya, looked at the tasks displayed on its control panel. Apart from the task of withstanding the nuclear rain of nuclear bomb strikes, the other three tasks were on the verge of completion.

The task of enhancing its regenerative abilities had reached 97% progress.

The missions to destroy the naval fleet, army forces, and air force bases had already been two-thirds completed.

There was also the task of increasing its size, with only one city remaining.

It had to complete these three tasks. Therefore, Godzilla couldn’t give up; it had to continue fighting.

However, overheating was a significant issue. If Godzilla continued to use its breath or run, it would self-destruct.

It had to solve this problem to continue the battle. But how?

Godzilla thought of a solution.

“Kyu—Boom!!!!”

Nuclear light flashed, and the people in the Osaka command center, hundreds of kilometers away, were stunned by Godzilla’s actions.

Even among the several scenarios they had previously considered in which Godzilla wouldn’t return to the sea, none of them were remotely related to what was happening before their eyes.

“Commander… What is Godzilla doing?”

Someone couldn’t help but ask Sato because everything happening before their eyes was too incredible, and they couldn’t fathom what Godzilla was doing.

Why was Godzilla self-destructing?

In the current footage, the place where Godzilla stood had been consumed by a fireball.

It was as if someone had detonated a nuclear bomb in front of Godzilla, enveloping its entire body in the explosion.

But in reality, no one had detonated a nuclear bomb in front of Godzilla, and there hadn’t been a large-scale attack by humans. Right now, at this moment, that fireball engulfing its own body was actually created by Godzilla itself.

It had shot atomic breath towards the ground behind itself, enveloping its entire body in the explosion.

What was Godzilla doing? Why was it triggering its breath beneath its own feet?josei

They were unaware of the situation, so they asked the question.

After he asked the question, everyone else also looked at Sato, hoping to get an answer from the planner of the plan.

When they were making predictions, they hadn’t anticipated the current situation.

Sato Hirozumi, as the planner of the plan, stared fixedly at the screen.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally, when the dim fireball on the screen suddenly expanded and shimmered, he smiled helplessly.

“We underestimated you, Godzilla. Gentlemen, let Osaka and the other areas evacuate.”

“This time, we lost.”

Sato’s words puzzled many people. Upon hearing his statement, many were confused. However, after thinking for a while, some people’s faces suddenly turned pale.

They had realized what Godzilla’s actions meant.

Godzilla’s actions were aimed at removing the substances on its back.

“Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!!!”

At the location where Godzilla stood, hundreds of kilometers away, Godzilla within the fireball let out a long roar.

Its current condition couldn’t be described as good because its body had been struck by two high-energy breath attacks within a hundred meters, equivalent to the impact of several strategic nuclear missiles.

Its entire body was covered in flames exceeding 6,000 degrees Celsius, and its skin was continuously melting, even boiling and sublimating.

When the fireballs around Godzilla cooled down to the point where the molten iron covering its body stopped boiling, its appearance became completely messy.

Its entire body was melting iron, and Godzilla was now covered in molten iron at high temperatures, looking extremely miserable.

The molten iron flowed over its body, with much of it falling to the ground. At this moment, Godzilla looked like a human drenched in sweat, with molten iron constantly dripping.

It took more than ten minutes for Godzilla’s condition to slightly improve, and the outer layer of molten iron had also cooled down.

Phew, it’s starting to function again.

Feeling the gradual decrease in internal temperature, Godzilla, in its current disheveled state, was quite satisfied. In the previous explosion, it successfully removed the culprits that caused its temperature to rise.

The insulating substances prevented its heat from dissipating. As long as they remained on its skin, its body temperature would continue to rise.

This prevented Godzilla from continuing its attacks. If it wanted to continue expelling humans, it had to remove them.

So Godzilla came up with this solution.

The insulating layer created by these insulating substances also had a temperature limit. They would be destroyed when exposed to extremely high temperatures.

Although Godzilla couldn’t heat its body to the point where it could destroy or sublime them, it could use its breath to raise the temperature outside well above the melting and boiling points of the insulating layer.

Its breath, when just detonated, had a temperature higher than the surface of the sun. No material could withstand such an environment without melting, not even Godzilla itself, which would sustain minor injuries from the close-range impact of its breath.

Within a couple of hundred meters of the detonation point, its skin would be melted to a depth of over a dozen centimeters. Therefore, these coatings, which were only a few millimeters to a couple of centimeters thick, would completely sublime.

Thus, Godzilla released two breath attacks behind itself, completely sublimating the insulating layer on its back, allowing it to dissipate heat again.

Not only did it possess high intelligence, but Godzilla also understood physics and had a high tolerance for damage.

Despite its disheveled appearance, it was only the outermost layer of its skin, about a dozen centimeters, that had been completely destroyed. However, beneath that layer, there was no damage to the majority of its body.

To destroy Godzilla with attacks like these… it would take hundreds or even thousands of them.

Moreover, these hundreds or thousands of attacks couldn’t be the integrated version. A bomb with a yield of 50 million tons of TNT would be more troublesome for Godzilla than 500 bombs with a yield of 100,000 tons each.

In the former case, it wouldn’t sustain significant damage even if it was hit head-on. However, in the latter case, it might lose its combat capability.

In the end, it came down to thermal conduction. An instantaneous explosion had too large a thermal gradient, which wouldn’t cause enough internal damage compared to a sustained attack.

This monster not only had intelligence comparable to humans but also understood physics.

Due to Godzilla’s destruction of the carefully designed insulating layer, the Nagoya-Osaka operation could be officially declared a failure.

In the southeastern part of the Far East, there was no longer any force capable of resisting Godzilla’s power.

The official rampage of Godzilla on the remaining cities was now beginning.
