36: Chapter 35 Global Shock

At the East Sea Defense Line, the entire base plunged into a deathly silence that lasted for ten seconds.

"Th-this..."

A young soldier pointed at the sea, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, his heart churning with tumultuous waves that simply would not subside.

"Holy shit!"

It was unclear who had broken the silence first, roaring out those two words.

Immediately after, the entire base erupted in an uproar.

"Did I see that right? The Third-Tier Giant Beasts is just gone like that?"

"Five seconds! It really only took five seconds!"

"What the hell was that blue beam of light? It's even more terrifying than a nuclear bomb!"

"Our Dragon Country actually possesses this kind of biological weapon?"

"Isn't... isn't that just too terrifying?"

"..."

In an instant, the soldiers' exclamations and roars rose and fell one after another.

It had been fifteen years.

Ever since the Abyss Era began, they had been living under the threat of the Abyssal Giant Beast.

Every battle required paying a heavy price.

Every victory was exchanged for the lives of their comrades-in-arms.

But now... they finally saw hope, seeing that rampaging Abyssal Giant Beast being killed in seconds like an ant.

Inside the fortress command center, General Zhan Kuang stared fixedly at the big screen, his fists clenched so tightly they creaked.

As the Supreme Commander of the East Sea Defense Line, he knew all too well what a Third-Tier Abyss Behemoth meant.

Two months ago, to repel a Third-Tier Giant Beasts, they had deployed an entire fleet, coordinated with three heavy mechs, and fought for a full six hours, only managing to barely severely injure it and force it back into the deep sea with the help of a nuclear bomb.

In that battle, the fleet lost thirty percent of its strength, two mechs were scrapped, and over eight hundred soldiers were killed in action.

And now... without comparison, there is no pain.

Five seconds. Just five seconds.

That Third-Tier Giant Beasts, named "Tidal Fang," didn't even have a chance to struggle before it was cut in half by a spiral beam of light.

"Is this the true strength of Godzilla?"

General Zhan Kuang muttered to himself, his eyes turning slightly red.

If they had possessed this power sooner, would those sacrificed comrades not have had to die? The world wouldn't have entered this damn Abyss Era, and humanity wouldn't have had to feel the fear of being dominated by the Abyssal Giant Beast.

"General." Su Qingxue walked over, her voice also trembling slightly: "The data from when Godzilla attacked just now has been transmitted back."

"Speak."

"According to the energy detection, the power of that beam of light just now... was equivalent to five thousand tons of TNT."

"Five thousand tons..." Everyone in the conference room gasped; that was already at the level of a strategic nuclear weapon.

And Godzilla had just casually spat it out. It was simply terrifying, wasn't it?

More importantly, Godzilla seemed to be a natural counter to the Abyssal Giant Beast, with stronger attack power capable of instantly killing an Abyssal Giant Beast, whereas a single strategic nuclear weapon could not instantly kill a Third-Tier Abyss Behemoth, at most severely injuring it.

"Technical team." The next second, as if thinking of something, General Zhan Kuang turned and asked: "Have you calculated it? What tier of giant beast is Godzilla's combat power equivalent to?"

"General..." The head of the technical team wiped the sweat from his forehead: "According to the data analysis just now, the destructive power displayed by Godzilla has already exceeded that of a Fourth-Tier Abyssal Behemoth."

"Fourth-Tier?"

"Yes." The technical team leader nodded, hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "And I suspect that with that attack just now, Godzilla did not use its full strength."

The conference room plunged into silence once again. A Fourth-Tier Abyssal Behemoth. That was an intercontinental-level catastrophe.

The last time a Fourth-Tier giant beast appeared, the Dragon Country utilized three strategic nuclear bombs, coordinated with five heavy mechs and ten SS-Class Awakened, to barely force it to retreat.

And Godzilla... a beast pet, possesses at least Fourth-Tier combat power?

"Major Luo Yu has truly given us a massive surprise." General Zhan Kuang suddenly laughed, smiling very brightly.

Meanwhile, the reactions of countries around the world were even more intense than at the East Sea Defense Line.

The Hundred Palaces of Eagle Country. In the conference room, the President stared at the replay footage, dumbfounded.

The footage was slowed down ten times, allowing them to clearly see how the spiral-shaped blue beam of light sliced through Tidal Fang's body, just like a hot knife through butter—easily, without any resistance.

"Explain this to me." After a few seconds of silence, the President's voice roared: "Why does our intelligence department know absolutely nothing about this monster?"

"This..." The Minister of Intelligence broke into a cold sweat: "Mr. President, the Dragon Country's secrecy level for this creature is SSS-rank. Our spies couldn't get any intelligence at all, and it only just appeared recently, so our intelligence personnel are all completely baffled."

"And now?" The President took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Now the whole world has seen it! The Dragon Country possesses a biological weapon that can kill a Third-Tier Giant Beasts in seconds!"

With almost no hesitation, the President turned to look at the Minister of National Defense: "I want to know, if this monster attacks us, how long can we hold out?"

"..." The Minister of National Defense looked grim: "According to the data analysis just now... if it attacks our coastal cities, before a nuclear strike, our conventional weapons... won't last half an hour, unless we deploy the super-large mechs used to deal with the Abyssal Giant Beast."

"Half an hour?" The President's eyes widened.

"Yes." The Minister of National Defense smiled bitterly: "Its defense is too strong; ordinary missiles simply cannot break through."

"Then use strategic nuclear bombs."

"Mr. President..." The Minister of National Defense hesitated for a moment before saying something astonishing: "According to satellite thermal imaging and known intelligence analysis, it feeds on nuclear radiation. If we attack it, we will only make it stronger."

"Right now, our common enemy as humanity is the Abyssal Giant Beast, so we actually don't need to worry for the time being." The Minister of Intelligence wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and added another sentence: "The Dragon Country's primary goal is definitely to deal with the Abyssal Giant Beast."

"Heh!" Hearing this, the President revealed a meaningful look and said: "Regardless, we must come up with a feasible plan to be prepared for any eventuality."

"Yes."

... The Northern Border Federation, The Kremlin. The President stood in front of the window, watching the replay on the screen.

"This is Dragon Country's trump card." He turned to look at the Minister of National Defense: "Can our 'north wind god' mech defeat it?"

"We can't win." The Minister of National Defense shook his head: "The design goal of the 'north wind god' is to counter Fourth-Tier Giant Beasts, and this monster... is extremely likely to have already exceeded the Fourth-Tier."

"Then what do we do?"

"Strengthen cooperation with the Dragon Country." The Minister of Foreign Affairs spoke up: "Now is not the time for confrontation; the Abyssal Giant Beast is our common enemy, and cooperation is the only way to achieve a win-win situation."

"..." The President was silent for a few seconds before saying slowly: "Contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dragon Country and tell them we are willing to sell nuclear waste to them at the most favorable price."

"Yes."
