Chapter 152 - 152: I Challenge You!

"Enough!" The Secretary of Defense slammed the table heavily. "I asked you to discuss how to deal with Ghidorah, not to shop for groceries here!"

"Just answer me this: Can Abomination and Hulk solve this problem?"

General Ross and Nick Fury maintained a synchronized silence.

"Fine, I understand. So both the Avengers and the military are unreliable."

"Then give me a plan! I don't care about the process—only the result!"

The Secretary of Defense was extremely anxious. Several highly negative incidents had already occurred on U.S. soil during his tenure.

If Ghidorah were allowed to enter the United States and cause widespread destruction again, his political career would likely be over.

General Ross pondered for a moment. "We are currently developing an Oxygen Destroyer, capable of eliminating all biological life within a two-mile radius."

"If we're lucky, perhaps it can kill these giant beasts and end this nightmare."

"If the situation becomes truly critical, we can only use nuclear bombs to destroy it before it gets too close!"

Nick Fury countered, "Are you sure these giant beasts even need oxygen? Although they share Earth with us, given their enormous size, the oxygen concentration on our planet theoretically cannot support their activity."

"Unless their lungs are comparable to the combined power output of two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, capable of absorbing tons of oxygen in one breath—but that is impossible to imagine."

"Therefore, I have reason to suspect their need for oxygen is not as great as we think."

"Furthermore…"

Nick Fury took out a file and handed it to the Secretary of Defense. "This is information just transmitted by the Monarch Organization. They have intelligence confirming that Ghidorah is very likely an extraterrestrial species!"

"This means he came to Earth from distant space, so he doesn't need oxygen at all!"

"As for nuclear bombs… wasn't it already proven decades ago that they are completely ineffective against Godzilla?"

"I believe Godzilla is actually the force we can truly rely on."

"Just twenty minutes ago, Godzilla left the Bermuda Triangle and is swimming toward South America. His path overlaps with Ghidorah's, and a major battle may break out between the two!"

While speaking, Nick Fury also thought of Luke.

If he took action, Ghidorah shouldn't be a problem, right?

It would be even better if they could subdue Godzilla.

With such a reliable enforcer, things would be much easier in the future.

If anyone dared to cause trouble, they could simply lock the doors and unleash Godzilla.

For this reason, Nick Fury had even specially established a team of linguistic experts to try deciphering the language of the Titans, hoping to communicate with them.

Of course, it was best to hold power in one's own hands.

Therefore, with funding from the United Nations, S.H.I.E.L.D. had established a company named APEX.

The goal was to study Titan power and build their own Titan mechs!

And this plan was called the Mechanical Titan Project!

This was not only to deal with potential Titan beasts, but also giant invaders and aliens of unknown origin from the Mariana Trench.

The funds required for this project were measured in trillions.

Many of the technologies involved far exceeded Earth's current technical reserves.

Therefore, they had to analyze alien technology, recruit absolute top talents from all walks of life, and establish a large research team of hundreds of thousands before they could hope to build their own Titan.

Tony Stark and Bruce Banner were among them.

The former was responsible for providing the energy source and intelligent systems, while the latter helped refine the design by researching gamma rays and applying his expertise in biology and physics.

There were also other brilliant geniuses such as Victor von Doom, Reed Richards, and the mutant Beast.

Coupled with powerful international giants like Stark Industries, Osborn Industries, and Iron Giant.

They had already completed the overall design by working overtime.

However, one key figure could not be bypassed: Luke.

To build such a massive entity that could clash head-on with Titan beasts like Godzilla without being destroyed, it needed not only an atomic furnace for energy but also sufficiently hard steel.

Besides the three special metals, no other known or created alloys were strong enough to support its operations.

Preliminary calculations showed that even manufacturing a barely passable ultra-low-spec version of fused metal by mixing the special metals with others in specific ratios would require hundreds of tons of the three special metals.

Even if Uru metal was excluded and they substituted the relatively cheaper Vibranium and adamantium, the raw material cost alone would be in the trillions.

It wasn't that the three special metals couldn't be used, but the ultra-low-spec fused metal was far more cost-effective.

Simulation test results showed that the Mechanical Titan, constructed from the ultra-low-spec material combined with aerospace materials and other metals, would weigh approximately 150,000 tons and could easily unleash millions of tons of force.

A full-power strike would far exceed the Tsar Bomba.

It could also easily withstand nuclear attacks, truly resembling a deity.

Therefore, the Mechanical Titan Project was also known as the God Creation Project.

Creating a deity in human form, possessing the great power to destroy the world.

Only once the Mechanical Titan was complete would humanity truly possess its own trump card.

But before that… Nick Fury looked at Ghidorah's image with a massive headache.

"How great would it be if the Mechanical Titan were already finished?"

"A mere Ghidorah would be insignificant!"

The meeting at the Pentagon lasted several hours. Seeing that Ghidorah had already reached South America, they still hadn't come up with an effective plan.

Only a Titan could fight a Titan.

Therefore, they planned that when Ghidorah approached Mexico, they would use the fastest fighter jets to lure out Rodan, the King of the Skies, from Monitoring Base 56—the Mara Island volcano in Mexico—to confront Ghidorah.

The Monarch Organization had discovered a total of six or seven Titans across the Americas.

For example, Scylla in Arizona, Tiamat in Georgia, Sargon in Wyoming, Kong in French Paraguay, and Godzilla in the Bermuda Triangle.

Among them, only Rodan could fly; the others were ground-bound.

Rodan held the title of King of the Skies. Even if he couldn't defeat Ghidorah, surely he could at least severely injure it?

Everyone felt uneasy.

At the same time, just as Ghidorah was closing in on the United States,

inside a temple on Gaoligong Mountain in Asia, a giant egg cracked open, and a massive Titan beast—Mothra—hatched.

Mothra, influenced by the Earth's will, ignored the panicked personnel at Monarch Organization Monitoring Station 61 and flew straight toward North America.

Furthermore, more Titan beasts awoke from their slumber amid Ghidorah's declarative roars.

Ghidorah's voice possessed extremely strong penetrating power, even affecting some Titans located in the Hollow Earth.

They emerged from the Earth's core and arrived on the surface from various locations.

They were preparing to participate in the first Monster King hegemony competition.

Meanwhile, in New York, Luke watched Tony Stark hurriedly depart.

He gazed into the distance, sensing the rapidly approaching aura through the turbulent magnetic field and chaotic consciousness of the Earth.

Suddenly, Luke considered a possibility.

"After Ghidorah defeats Rodan, it gains recognition from the surface Titans—excluding Mothra, Kong, and Godzilla—and is jointly elected as the Monster King."

"And after Godzilla defeats Ghidorah, he becomes the new Monster King."

"Theoretically, obtaining the status of Monster King allows one to command these surface Titans. Could this mean harvesting a large number of anomaly points all at once?"

Even if an average Titan was only worth three or four thousand anomaly points, that would still result in tens of thousands of anomaly points in income.

Luke, who had been preparing to leave immediately, paused.

He looked expectantly into the distance.

"Ghidorah, speed up a bit for me. Whether your buddy rides a bicycle or a Rolls-Royce depends on you."

A few hours later,

Ghidorah passed by Skull Island. With a gentle flap of its wings, it created a super hurricane that swept away the lightning storm enveloping the island and brought extinction-level effects to Skull Island's ecosystem.

Nearly all of the indigenous people who originally lived on the island were killed.

All the monsters became extremely irritable due to the deteriorating environment.

Various gigantic creatures attacked each other.

Kong, who had now grown to ninety meters tall, let out a weak roar toward the departing Ghidorah.

He seemed to be complaining that Ghidorah had destroyed his home.

But Ghidorah completely ignored these weaklings.

Even Kong was just a slightly larger monkey in its eyes.

Next, Ghidorah fought major battles against Godzilla and Rodan separately.

Because Ghidorah could not swim, it suffered a major disadvantage during the battle with Godzilla in the sea and had one of its heads bitten off.

However, Ghidorah's regenerative ability was astonishing, and a new head grew back shortly after.

It struck Godzilla with a gravity beam, sending him plunging into the sea, then departed triumphantly.

Rodan, on whom many factions had placed great hopes, was easily dealt with by Ghidorah.

Not only did Rodan fail to severely injure Ghidorah, but he instead became its loyal lackey.

After Rodan submitted, all the other Titan beasts also submitted to Ghidorah.

Ghidorah's first command as Monster King was to have all the Titans destroy human cities.

It intended to reshape the order of the Earth according to its own will.

Ghidorah planned to land in Boston, starting its destruction in the United States—the strongest country in this world.

It was at this moment

that an unknown sound wave entered its ears.

This sound conveyed only one message: I challenge you!

Ghidorah did not hesitate. It immediately turned and flew toward New York.

It intended to teach the master of this voice a profound lesson.

No beast could defy its will, and if one did, it must die!
