95: Chapter 94 Journey to the Western European Union, The Secrets of the Inner Earth

After the test concluded,

Luo Yu boarded a private jet provided by Eagle Country, taking Godzilla with him.

Inside the cabin, Luo Yu sat on a leather seat while Godzilla, shrunk to thirty centimeters, lay on his lap, dozing with eyes closed.

"Lieutenant General Luo Yu, it will take about eight hours to fly to the Western European Alliance Headquarters," the flight attendant said respectfully. "Please let me know if you need anything."

"Thank you."

Luo Yu took out a tablet,

and reviewed the information sent by the Western European Alliance.

[Total nuclear waste: 800,000 tons]

[Distribution Area: Three main storage points]

[Radiation Level: Ranging from S-class to SSS-class]

[Mutated Creatures: SSS-class Mutated Wolf Pack detected]

"Eight hundred thousand tons... that's too little."

Luo Yu shook his head subconsciously and said, "Godzilla, since I promised them, let's just go and take care of it."

He had no choice.

Originally, Luo Yu wanted to return to the Dragon Kingdom,

but after thinking about the nuclear waste that hadn't been processed yet, he decided to handle it all at once.

Even though,

for the current Godzilla,

eight hundred thousand tons was already like a drop in the bucket.

"Hiss! (Too little!)"

Godzilla opened its vertical pupils, a flash of dissatisfaction crossing its eyes.

"I know," Luo Yu laughed. "But many a mickle makes a muckle; even the smallest mosquito is still meat. Let's take it slow."

As he spoke,

Luo Yu opened his communicator, and a message from General Zhankuang popped up.

[Zhankuang: Luo Yu, the video of the Eagle Country's mecha test has already spread across the globe.]

[Zhankuang: Ten seconds... high-level officials from every country were shocked.]

[Zhankuang: But this is good; let them know Godzilla's strength, and future cooperation will be smoother.]

Luo Yu sent a reply.

[Luo Yu: Understood. I am currently heading to the Western European Alliance and expect to finish processing the nuclear waste there by tomorrow.]

[Zhankuang: Good, stay safe.]

Ending the communication,

Luo Yu leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Meanwhile, on the global internet,

discussions about the mecha test had completely exploded.

"Ten seconds... Eagle Country's most advanced mecha only lasted ten seconds!"

"Godzilla barely even moved, and the three mechas were all laid out."

"That defense... the plasma cannons hit it without leaving a single mark. It's truly a bit exaggerated."

"Human technology is a joke in front of Godzilla."

"Ghidorah: Now I know why I lost."

"..."

On military forums across various countries, professionals were also analyzing the event.

"According to test data, the hardness of Godzilla's scales is at least several thousand times that of titanium alloy."

"The plasma cannon's temperature reaches ten thousand degrees, yet it couldn't even burn through its hide."

"With this kind of defense, no human weapon can harm it except for a saturated nuclear strike."

"The key is that nuclear bombs are like supplements to Godzilla... so Godzilla is essentially an unsolvable existence."

"..."

In the Dragon Kingdom,

at the East Sea Defense Line Command Center.

"Ten seconds..."

General Zhankuang watched the test replay on the large screen with a satisfied smile. He turned to the officers behind him and said, "Everyone, this is our Dragon Kingdom's trump card."

"Yes, sir!"

All the officers stood up simultaneously.

"However..."

Zhankuang's tone shifted. "We cannot be arrogant because of this. Those three figures deep within the wormhole are the real threat."

"The General is right."

An officer said with a heavy tone, "The size of those three monsters is at least twenty times that of Ghidorah. If they descend..."

"That is why we must fully support Lieutenant General Luo Yu." Zhankuang interrupted him decisively, adding, "Let Godzilla evolve as quickly as possible. Only then will we have any hope of confronting those three monsters."

"Understood!"

...

At the same time,

in Eagle Country's The Hundred Palaces.

The atmosphere inside the Presidential Office was somewhat oppressive.

"Ten seconds..."

The President sat behind his desk and said with a grim expression, "The Fifth-Generation Mecha we invested hundreds of billions of dollars to develop only lasted ten seconds in front of Godzilla."

"Mr. President..."

The Minister of National Defense stood to the side, cold sweat on his forehead. "This isn't because our mecha technology is lacking; it's simply that Godzilla is too strong."

"I know."

The President rubbed his temples and said unwillingly, "But this result is still very disappointing."

"We will continue to improve the mecha,"

the Minister of National Defense said quickly. "We'll strive to last longer in the next test."

"Mm."

The President nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how is the new Super Eight-Man Squad doing?"

"Special training has already begun," the Minister of National Defense replied. "We have recruited the world's top combat coaches and ability development experts, aiming to take their strength to the next level within half a year. Also, the clones of the Eagle Country Captain have begun training, and their current strength has already surpassed the original Eagle Country Captain."

"Very good."

Upon hearing this, the President's mood finally improved slightly. He said, "While they may not reach Luo Yu's heights, they must... at least be able to handle Fifth-Order Abyssal Giant Beasts."

"Yes, sir!"

Just then,

there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

A general in military uniform walked in, an excited expression on his face.

"Mr. President, there has been a major discovery!"

"What discovery?" The President immediately sat up straight, showing an expression of rapt attention.

"It's regarding the Hollow Earth World." The general handed over a document and said, "Our probes have discovered a massive cave in Asgala State, over ten thousand meters deep, and..."

"And what?"

"Biological energy fluctuations are coming from deep within the cave." The general's tone was very excited. "According to preliminary analysis, an unknown world may exist there."

"What?"

The President stood up in disbelief and asked, "You mean... the Hollow Earth World?"

"It's very likely."

The general said in a serious tone, "And based on the intensity of the energy fluctuations, there may be a large number of giant creatures there."

"..."

The President and the Minister of National Defense looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

One must understand that since entering the Abyss Era, Awakeners and giant mechas had appeared among humans, and the oceans and land were also undergoing subtle changes. Thus, while the appearance of a Hollow Earth World was shocking, the President and the Minister of National Defense were not overly terrified.

"Call an emergency meeting immediately."

In the next instant, the President made a decision. "This matter must be kept secret; we cannot let other countries know for the time being."

"Understood!"

Half an hour later.

Inside Eagle Country's highest-level secret conference room.

A dozen high-ranking officials, including the President, the Minister of National Defense, the Minister of Science and Technology, and the Minister of Intelligence, sat around a long table.

On the large screen,

footage captured by the Hollow Earth probe was being played.

A massive cave with a diameter of over five kilometers appeared on the screen.

Deep within the cave,

faint glimmers of light could be seen flickering.

"This is the Hollow Earth entrance we discovered." The Minister of Science and Technology stood up, pointing at the screen. "According to sonar detection, the cave is over fifteen thousand meters deep and is still extending further."

"What about the energy fluctuations?" the President asked.

"Extremely strong." The Minister of Science and Technology pulled up the data and said, "We have detected at least thirty different energy sources, with intensities ranging from the third to the sixth order."

"Sixth order..." The Minister of National Defense sucked in a breath of cold air and said in disbelief, "There are sixth-order giant beasts there?"

"It's very likely."

The Minister of Science and Technology nodded. "And there's more than one."

Instantly,

the conference room fell into silence.

After a long while,

the President finally spoke.

"Everyone, this might be the opportunity for Eagle Country to rise again."

As he spoke,

the President looked around the room.

"If the Hollow Earth World truly exists and is filled with a large number of giant creatures, then..."

"Then we will have the chance to study these creatures," the Minister of Intelligence chimed in. "By studying their genes, we might be able to develop even more powerful mechas or even cultivate Super Mecha Giant Beasts."

"Exactly." The President suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "The Dragon Kingdom has Godzilla, and we have the Hollow Earth World. This way, both sides can maintain a balance."

"But..."

The Minister of National Defense hesitated. "The danger of the Hollow Earth World is immense."

"I know there are risks."

The President took a deep breath and said, "But we have no choice. Are we to rely on the Dragon Kingdom forever? Are we to always be that... incompetent husband?"

Those last four words,

the President practically said through gritted teeth.

Today's mecha test was a huge blow to him.

Eagle Country's proud technology was vulnerable before Godzilla. This sense of powerlessness made him feel frustrated and miserable.

"The President is right."

The Minister of Intelligence stood up and said, "We must have our own trump card; we cannot pin all our hopes on the Dragon Kingdom."

"So..."

The President looked at the Minister of Science and Technology and asked, "How long will it take for you to organize an exploration?"

"At least a month." The Minister of Science and Technology thought for a moment and said, "We need to prepare special equipment, assemble an exploration team, and most importantly, ensure their safety."

"A month..." The President pondered for a few seconds and said, "That's acceptable, but this matter must be kept absolutely secret. No one is allowed to leak it."

"Understood!"

"And..." The President looked at the Minister of National Defense. "The development of mechas cannot stop. Continue to increase investment; I want to see the design plans for the Sixth-Generation Mecha."

"Yes, sir!"

"The training of the Super Eight-Man Squad must also be accelerated." The President continued, "I don't care what methods you use; within half a year, I want to see their strength at least double."

"I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

"Very good."

The President stood up. "Everyone, the future of Eagle Country depends on us."

"Yes, sir!"

All high-ranking officials stood up simultaneously.

After the meeting ended,

the Minister of National Defense stayed behind alone.

"Mr. President..."

"Speak your mind."

"Regarding the Hollow Earth World..." The Minister of National Defense hesitated. "I'm worried the creatures inside are too strong. If something happens to the exploration team..."

"I know what you're worried about." The President walked to the window and looked at the night scene outside, saying helplessly, "But... we must take this risk. Eagle Country cannot live in the shadow of the Dragon Kingdom forever."

"I understand."

The Minister of National Defense took a deep breath and turned to leave.

The President stood alone by the window, murmuring to himself, "Hollow Earth World... I hope you can bring us hope."
