167: Chapter 165 Cat and Mouse Game
In an instant, time seemed to have been pressed to slow motion at this very moment.
Inside the White House command center, all the high-ranking officials of Eagle Country widened their eyes, their pupils reflecting that unbelievable scene.
Godzilla's short forepaw, which looked disproportionate to its massive body, was swung out with such nonchalance.
BOOM!!!
The earth-shattering roar did not come from a collision of energy, but from a pure physical deflection.
That "Proton Roar," into which Eagle Country had poured countless efforts and hopes, changed direction abruptly the moment it touched Godzilla's claw, like a water jet struck by immense force. It grazed past Godzilla's body at an eerie angle and blasted toward the distant horizon.
The azure beam plowed a scorched gap tens of kilometers long through the clouds, eventually vanishing silently at an altitude of ten thousand meters.
Throughout the entire process, Godzilla's body did not even sway once.
It withdrew its claw and shook it, as if something dirty had stuck to it, and then glanced at the distant Mechagodzilla with an extremely human-like gaze, as if looking at an idiot.
"Hiss..." A low, disdainful snort traveled through the air and reached everyone's ears.
Silence. A deathly silence.
On the fleet in San Francisco Bay that had already been reduced to scrap metal, tens of thousands of naval soldiers opened their mouths wide, completely unaware that the rifles in their hands were slipping onto the deck.
Inside the White House command center, the expression on the face of Dr. William, who had been incredibly fanatical just a moment ago, froze completely. He stared fixedly at the screen, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.
"Impossible... This is impossible..." He muttered to himself, his eyes bloodshot.
"The energy level of the Proton Roar, according to precise calculations, is sufficient to melt the scales of a Titan Beast... Why... Why was it slapped away so easily?"
No one could answer him. Because everything happening before their eyes had completely transcended the scope of science they could understand.
"Continue the attack!" The President was the first to react. With bloodshot eyes, he roared into the communicator, "Use all weapons! Missiles! Plasma cannons! High-frequency vibration blades! Get them in there!!"
The order was transmitted to the brain of the clone, "Luo Yu Zero." "Understood." The clone responded coldly, its eyes glowing with intense red light.
The next second, the armor plates all over Mechagodzilla's body opened one after another, revealing dense weapon launch ports underneath.
Swish, swish, swish... Thousands of specially made armor-piercing missiles, trailing long plumes of smoke, swarmed toward Godzilla like a swarm of bees.
At the same time, two huge turrets extended from Mechagodzilla's shoulders, beginning to gather blinding electric light. "Plasma cluster cannon, fire!"
Two plasma beams, slightly thinner than the previous "Proton Roar" but... faster, shot toward Godzilla's head in a cross pattern.
Faced with this overwhelming attack, Godzilla couldn't even be bothered to lift an eyelid. Instead, Mothra, who was beside it, seemed to find it a bit boring and gently flapped its wings.
"Chirp~" A crisp cry rang out. Countless scales shimmering with seven-colored light drifted down from its wings, like a gorgeous dream, instantly enveloping the sea area within tens of kilometers around Godzilla.
Those aggressive missiles, once entering the range of the scales, were like drunken men; they instantly lost their targets and began flying erratically in the air. Some collided with each other, exploding into fireworks in mid-air, while others plunged headfirst into the sea, splashing up a few weak water sprays.
And those two intersecting plasma beams, when passing through the seven-colored scale area, had their light paths strangely deflected, eventually grazing past Godzilla's ear by a hair's breadth and missing their target.
Thus, a saturation attack sufficient to destroy an aircraft carrier strike group was nonchalantly neutralized by Mothra. Rather than a battle, it was more like an elegant and magnificent performance.
"Pfft!!" In the White House command center, seeing this scene, Dr. William could no longer hold on. A mouthful of blood sprayed onto the console in front of him, and his whole body collapsed.
It was over. Completely over. His life's work, the highest crystallization of human technology, was like a toddler stumbling along in front of the opponent, provoking a fully armed adult man. He couldn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes.
"ROAR!" Seeming to be a bit annoyed by this endless harassment, Godzilla finally let out a roar in the true sense.
This roar was no longer a low growl, but a furious cry containing the supreme majesty of the king of the titans. The terrifying sound waves turned into visible shock rings and swept outward.
Mechagodzilla, bearing the brunt of it, had its armor emit an unbearable "creaking" sound, and countless precision electronic components were instantly burned out under the impact of the sound waves. Its scarlet electronic eyes flickered violently a few times and then went dark directly.
Inside the cockpit, the clone "Luo Yu Zero" was bleeding from all seven orifices, and the intense feedback from the neural connection system made him let out a shrill scream.
With just one roar, this quasi-tenth-order mechanical beast was plunged into a semi-paralyzed state.
"The game should end now." Luo Yu's voice sounded faintly. He stepped out from the top of Godzilla's head, and his figure disappeared instantly. When he appeared again, he had already arrived in front of the semi-paralyzed Mechagodzilla.
And that clone, seemingly wanting to make a final struggle, controlled Mechagodzilla's remaining right hand, ejecting a hundred-meter-long particle blade flickering with high-frequency vibration waves from its arm, and slashed down at Luo Yu's head.
Luo Yu didn't even look at the sharp blade that was capable of cutting through an aircraft carrier deck. He simply extended a finger. Pointing lightly at Mechagodzilla's massive body.
"Gravity Manipulation ยท One Hundred Times." Hum! An invisible force field descended instantly. Mechagodzilla's body, weighing millions of tons, seemed to be pressed down hard by an invisible mountain, sinking abruptly.
"Crack... crack..." Its leg joints, made of the hardest alloy, instantly shattered, unable to support its own weight any longer. The massive body knelt down to the ground with a bang, splashing up monstrous waves.
The particle blade that was slashing toward Luo Yu also stopped abruptly less than a meter from the top of Luo Yu's head, unable to advance even a fraction of an inch. Luo Yu just hovered in mid-air, using one finger to crush the last hope of Eagle Country.
