Godzilla Earth: Origin (Patreon)

Volume 2 Chapter 87: Kaiser Ghidorah vs. Godzilla (Part 5)

From the earth, a pillar of light erupted—

A force surged from the depths, tearing through the sky.

The storm had only just been parted, and the air—scorched dry by Kaiser Ghidorah’s wings—was now illuminated by an overwhelming flood of radiance.

A celestial pillar burst forth from the ground, expanding in all directions—toward the sky, the land, the storm, the rain—

Toward everything.

From the underground to the heavens, from the heavens to space itself.

Though it was breath, it did not resemble the concentrated atomic beams of the past.

It was not an attack.

It was pure light.

A force of obliteration.

It expanded, engulfed, devoured.

The fireball-lit sky vanished.

The earth vanished.

The darkness vanished.

Kaiser Ghidorah vanished.

The remaining Ghidorah's Wings vanished.

Was this truly just a breath attack?

Or was it something far beyond that?

A pure and searing flood—A magnificent torrent, vast and absolute.

It was as though the veins of the planet itself had erupted, purging the world with an unstoppable tide of radiance.

From space, the battlefield below resembled a colossal lotus of light blooming upon the land—

Unfolding, spreading, consuming all.

Light.

It was beautiful.

Silent and serene.

Only pure, blinding brilliance.

There was no explosion, only an all-encompassing flood.

Even from a hundred kilometers away, the people in the shelters stared at the silent, blue lotus.

Their eyes burned with pain, yet they refused to look away.

A lotus of light that pierced the heavens—

That devoured the storm, the clouds, the night, the rain—

That engulfed the monsters themselves.

It had blossomed.

The Ghidorah's Wings began to dissolve.

Like insects before a divine force, they did not move.

They did not resist.

Their bodies melted, engulfed by an unimaginable heat.

A purifying fire, exceeding 100,000 degrees, reduced them to nothing in mere moments.

Like phantoms, they faded into the silent radiance.

The lotus expanded.

A gentle light, dissolving all invaders that did not belong to this world.

Yet—

Not all would surrender.

Not all would perish.

Within the silence of the blossoming lotus,

Kaiser Ghidorah raged.

"AUNNGGGGHHH!!!"

A monstrous roar of defiance tore through the void.

Lightning erupted from its body, a storm of fury repelling the encroaching light.

A violent electromagnetic force surged outward, driving back the flood of ionized fire.

The King of the Planet had not been consumed.

It still lived.

It would not die.

The blazing heat above 100,000 degrees continued scorching its flesh.

Even as neutron radiation bombarded its body, carving deep craters into its golden hide—

It remained.

And for the next few moments—

It would endure.

As the deep blue veil of radiance rose higher, consuming the world in silence—

Kaiser Ghidorah’s four wings spread wide—

And it dove.

A meteor of wrath.

It plunged through the blue inferno, commanding its electromagnetic forces—

A falling god streaking toward the land below.

It knew the source of this disaster.

And it would destroy it.

It would descend, strike, kill.

Yet—

The deeper it fell, the more the lotus converged.

The light grew denser.

Kaiser Ghidorah’s body began to dissolve.

If it continued its descent—

Only one fate awaited it.

Death.

Wings melted. Scales melted. Heads melted.

Everything—dissolving, sublimating into nothing.

The lotus of annihilation burned beyond even the most powerful nuclear weapons ever conceived by humankind.

Its energy surpassed anything fueled by mere chemical reactions—

And it would burn for several more seconds.

Mountains crumbled before it.

Oceans boiled beneath it.

Against such devastation, Kaiser Ghidorah folded its wings inward, shielding its heads within.

Then—

It dove.

At several times the speed of sound, it hurled itself toward the earth.

And finally—

It met the grandest fire of all.

“AUNNNGGGHHHH!!!”

Its wings clashed against the inferno.

From space, the once silent, deep-blue lotus exploded in an instant.

In the blink of an eye—

The inverted cone of light expanded violently—

Dozens of times its previous size—

A surge that transformed its shape into a perfect sphere.

Now, it became—

A colossal blue fireball.

A sustained sphere of blue plasma, burning brighter than anything ever witnessed on Earth.

—Ssssshhhhh!

...Huh?

Why did everything go dark?

Those watching from the distance—suddenly, they saw nothing.

They tried to cry out—

Yet not a single sound left their throats.

What… was happening?

Their minds barely had time to process—

A hand reached for a head… but felt nothing.

A cold emptiness seeped into their bodies, spreading deeper and deeper.

They couldn’t hear.

They couldn’t see.

They couldn’t feel.

Their arms flailed, grasping at the void—

Yet there was nothing to grasp.

Slowly—

Their consciousness faded.

A chilling numbness overtook them, deeper and deeper, until—

Darkness.

In a radius of several dozen kilometers, every raindrop in the sky instantly vaporized into steam.

The burning forests ignited even more violently—

Thick fog consumed the land in mere seconds—

A fog so dense, it should have swallowed the light.

But—

It did not.

The light continued to spread.

The glow pierced through the storm, illuminating the entire night sky over East Asia.

Even in cities far away, people looked up at the horizon, watching the sky burn.

And in their hearts—

They did not know what to feel.

<+>

“Commander! We have satellite visuals on the target area! The storm over the Pearl River Delta has been completely dispersed by the explosion!”

Inside the Monster combat command base, voices erupted with excitement.

For minutes, their instruments had registered colossal energy surges from the Pearl River Delta.

Yet—

They had no way to see what was happening.

All they knew was—

Kaiser Ghidorah had been attacking something relentlessly.

But—

What was it fighting?

What was powerful enough to drive Kaiser Ghidorah into a frenzied assault?

They had theories—

But no answers.

Until now.

The explosion of the lotus had burned away everything that obscured their vision.

Though the expanding fireball would still blind their instruments for a few minutes—

Once it faded—

They would finally see.

They would see what had been fighting Kaiser Ghidorah.

The satellites turned—

Fixing their gaze upon the heart of the explosion.

And there—

They saw it.
