53: Chapter 52 The Arrival of the Fifth Order Shakes the Globe

East Sea Defense Line, Command Center.

Piercing alarms resounded throughout the entire base.

"Reporting... A green halo has appeared above the East Sea Wormhole, with a diameter exceeding ten kilometers!"

The technician's voice was trembling.

On the large screen,

The real-time satellite footage was clearly visible—a massive green halo suspended above the sea surface, emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

"This is... the sign of a Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast's emergence."

General Zhankuang's expression became extremely grim.

Inside the command center, besides General Zhankuang, stood three other generals.

Commander-in-Chief of the East Sea War Zone, General Lie Huo, an SS-rank Fire-type Awakener.

Commander of the Dragon Country's First Fleet, General Cang Yang, an SS-rank Water-type Awakener.

And the Commander-in-Chief of the Dragon Country's Mecha Corps, General Tie Quan, an SSS-rank Strength-type Awakener.

They had come here

precisely because of the energy fluctuations exceeding a Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast that had just erupted from the East Sea Wormhole.

Now, that fluctuation exceeding a Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast had vanished, and instead, a genuine Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast was about to appear.

"A Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast..."

General Lie Huo couldn't help but clench his fists. "The last time a Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast appeared, the whole world mobilized together, deploying over a hundred heavy mechas and thirty strategic nuclear warheads before barely managing to repel it."

"If a Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast truly appears this time, we must immediately send out requests for assistance to other countries." Seeing the anomaly above the East Sea Wormhole, General Cang Yang turned to the communication console. "Relying on one country's strength alone, the losses will be catastrophic."

"I agree!!"

General Tie Quan also nodded and said in a heavy voice, "A Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast is no joke; the whole world must respond together."

"Wait."

General Zhankuang thought for a moment and couldn't help but speak up. "Let's hold off on the assistance requests for now."

"Zhankuang, what do you mean?" Before he could finish, General Lie Huo frowned. "Now is not the time to be impulsive."

"I'm not being impulsive." General Zhankuang took a deep breath and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Luo Yu is still near the wormhole. We don't even know what's happening there yet. Isn't it too early to rashly send out assistance requests?"

"But..."

General Cang Yang was about to speak when he was interrupted by General Zhankuang.

"I believe in Luo Yu."

General Zhankuang gritted his teeth and said firmly, "More importantly, I believe in Godzilla. That energy fluctuation exceeding the Fifth-Order that just erupted—I feel like it was Godzilla evolving."

"..."

The three generals couldn't help but exchange glances.

They all knew how terrifying Godzilla was and were aware of that giant beast's horrific strength.

But the problem was... a Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast was a freakish existence capable of destroying a large city.

More importantly, no one knew what exactly was happening on the seabed. If a Fifth-Order and a Sixth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast appeared together, the problem would be truly serious.

"How about this."

A second later, General Tie Quan thought it over before speaking. "The ordinary reconnaissance mechas we just sent out couldn't get near the wormhole's area at all. Let's first send our most advanced reconnaissance mecha to see what exactly is going on at the wormhole."

"If the situation is critical, it won't be too late to send out assistance requests then."

General Zhankuang breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's do that."

"Immediately deploy the SSS-rank 'Eye of the Deep Sea' reconnaissance mecha!" General Lie Huo ordered decisively. "I want real-time footage!"

"Yes, sir!"

...

At the same time,

countries around the world had also detected the anomaly at the East Sea Wormhole.

They were all dumbfounded.

Abnormal energy fluctuations exceeding a Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast had just appeared near the East Sea Wormhole, and now, the signs of a Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast's emergence had appeared directly?

Just what on earth was happening at the East Sea Wormhole?

Eagle Country, The Hundred Palaces.

"What's the situation?"

"Signs of a Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast's emergence have appeared at the East Sea Wormhole again?"

The President stood at the head of the conference room, speaking with a grim expression, "Has the Dragon Country sent out a request for assistance?"

"Not yet."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs shook his head.

"Not yet?" The President was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "What are they waiting for?"

"I don't know. Perhaps..." The Minister of Foreign Affairs hesitated before saying, "Perhaps they still hold hope for Godzilla, who is patrolling near the wormhole."

"Godzilla?"

The President couldn't help but shake his head. "No matter how strong that giant beast is, it's impossible for it to deal with a Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast, let alone the Sixth-Order abnormal energy fluctuations that just appeared. Contact the Dragon Country immediately and tell them that if they need assistance, our Eagle Country is willing to deploy eight super-heavy mechas."

"Yes, sir."

...

Northern Border Federation, The Kremlin.

"Fifth-Order..."

The President stared at the satellite footage, silent for a few seconds. "Contact the Dragon Country and ask if they need support."

"Yes, sir."

...

Western European Alliance Headquarters.

"Convene an emergency meeting immediately. As soon as the Dragon Country sends a request, dispatch mecha units to support them at once."

The Chairman issued the command.

...

Japan.

"Quick! Contact the Dragon Country! We are willing to provide all possible support!"

The Prime Minister was pacing around in a panic.

This was no joke.

The East Sea Wormhole was also very close to Japan. Once a Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast appeared, they would be the first to suffer.

...

At the East Sea Wormhole,

especially as the wormhole's energy fluctuations grew more intense, the green light almost dyed the entire sea area green.

"I just flipped you off, is this really necessary?"

Luo Yu, with his Nuclear Radiation Spiritual Power Shield active, stood atop Godzilla's head, looking at that massive green halo, feeling a bit dazed.

Godzilla, however, showed no fear; instead, it wagged its tail excitedly.

In its perception,

a powerful existence was about to emerge from the wormhole.

That was... delicious food.

Rumble!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the wormhole fissure began to expand, widening directly to twelve kilometers.

Then,

more green abyss energy surged out frantically, forming energy vortexes on the seabed.

And then...

A massive figure slowly crawled out of the wormhole.

It was a super giant beast with a body length exceeding two hundred and ten meters.

Looking at it, its appearance resembled some kind of dark green giant spider. It had eight thick appendages, each over a hundred meters long and covered in sharp barbs. The most terrifying part was its head—sixteen blood-red compound eyes arranged closely together, each eye five meters in diameter.

[Abyssal Giant Beast: Slattern]

[Level: Mid Fifth-Order]

[Threat Level: Medium]

[Traits: Toxic Spray, Abyssal Corrosion, High-Speed Movement...]

"Mid Fifth-Order..."

At this,

even Luo Yu couldn't help but show a serious expression.

If he remembered correctly, in the data General Zhankuang gave him, the Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beasts that the various countries had united to deal with were all at the early stage. This meant the Slattern before his eyes was even more powerful than any Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beast that had appeared before.
