Bering Strait.
On the sea, the wind was howling and the waves were rising and falling.
Under the sea surface, a Borei-class strategic nuclear submarine is quietly sailing in the dark deep sea.
"Sonar signal?"
"Everything is fine."
The commander and the radar soldier are talking.
"Okay, get ready to surface."
"Roger that, sir."
The officers and soldiers were about to control the submarine to surface.
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom".
The entire submarine shook violently.
The shock was so severe that everyone in the boat almost fell down.
"What's going on?"
"Have we hit a reef?"
"Activate the active sonar system!"
"Sir, this is close to the Magnesium Country."
"Don't worry about it!"
"Boom!"
There was another deafening bang, accompanied by the harsh noise of twisting metal "creaking". The submarine was slightly tilted, as if it was being torn apart.
"The main ballast tank is leaking inward!"
"The sea valve is inoperative, the vent valve is inoperative!"
The red warning light in the cabin kept flashing.
Reflected on everyone's face was fear.
"Sir, look, the towed sonar system has a signal. There is a huge object right above us, on the back of the submarine! That is the blind spot of the active sonar system."
"Oh my God, what is that?"
The submarine officers and soldiers exclaimed.
At this time, in the deep sea, a huge monster with a pitch-black body and red eyes was lying on the back of the submarine, with its huge arms wrapped around the hull, and its sharp beak-like mouthparts bit the submarine bridge fiercely, then turned its head and tore it to pieces. The outer shell made of sound-absorbing tiles was shattered, falling off and floating away with the waves.
"Remove radio silence!"
"Send a distress signal immediately!"
"Ahhh, help!"
"boom--"
A violent explosion occurred at the tail of the submarine.
The yellow flames illuminated the dark deep sea.
Reflecting the evil head of the Supreme MUTO.
And a huge black shadow cruising quickly behind.
hiss!?
The Supreme Mutos seemed to have sensed something and turned around quickly.
"roar--"
Godzilla roared and opened his mouth to bite!
The Supreme MUTO quickly turned around to fight.
......
"The Supreme MUTO?"
Fu Qinghai repeated it.
"Yes, I am quite sure that is the word she said."
Evelin affirmed on the other end of the phone.
"Any other information?"
"Not yet. We are heading to Siberia soon. It is said that a Russian nuclear submarine was attacked by an unknown creature not long ago near the Bering Strait. We suspect it was caused by earthquake beetles. Russian personnel found a nest in the tundra, and we are going to investigate there."
"Okay, keep in touch."
Fu Qinghai hung up the phone.
MUTO was originally the transliteration of MUTO.
MUTO is the abbreviation for "Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism".
Because it is the first original Titan to appear in the Monster Movie Universe and the first Titan discovered by the Monarch organization, it is directly named MUTO.
It was not until later that the Monarch organization realized that there was more than one Titan on Earth.
"It's not easy to be the king of monsters."
Fu Qinghai sighed.
King Kong, a member of the giant ape family, is Godzilla's archenemy.
MUTO, a member of the earthquake beetle family, is Godzilla's archenemy.
Ghidorah, an alien invasion creature and Godzilla's archenemy.
Throughout the entire Monster Movie Universe, any Titan monster with a bit of fame is Godzilla's nemesis in the background setting. Godzilla always looks around and finds that he is an enemy everywhere.
No wonder Godzilla is the only one left of the atomic dinosaur clan.
Making too many enemies is a yes.
"Watch the news, Khan."
Xiao Fei said while surfing the Internet:
"Some things can no longer be concealed."
"oh?"
Fu Qinghai asked Qingming to search for relevant web pages.
It turned out that the wreckage of the Russian nuclear submarine drifted along the ocean current all the way to Sapporo, Busan and Lushun. The coastal residents in these places all found the wreckage of the submarine, as well as huge tooth marks and claw marks on the wreckage.
For a while, the entire Internet was abuzz with discussions, rumors and conspiracy theories, and the Imperial Organization was unable to completely suppress these heated discussions.
"I suddenly felt that full disclosure was also a good idea."
Fu Qinghai said with his chin held high.
"Why?"
Xiao Fei asked.
"Like Aaron Brooks said, the world has the right to know about the existence of Titans. They are the oldest life forms on Earth, and humans will have to face them sooner or later. The most crucial point is..."
Fu Qinghai turned to look at Xiao Fei:
"'Pojun Jinjia' needs a time to debut, preferably a time when everyone is paying attention. This will be good for our negotiations with the local natives."
"You are right, Khan."
......
At this moment, on a military plane flying to Siberia.
"Dr. Emma, the internet has exploded."
An attendant said:
"Previously nuclear power plants, now nuclear submarines, nuclear facilities around the world have been attacked by giant unknown creatures. The headquarters is under great pressure, and all countries are holding them accountable."
"So they're all counting on me alone?"
Emma Russell asked back disdainfully.
"Not at all."
The staff said:
"Inspired by your discovery of the identity of the Titan through ancient prints and myths, the headquarters has sent the Monarch Organization's most senior mythology experts, Dr. Chen and Dr. Ling, to assist you in discovering clues and solving this problem together."
"The twins?"
"Yes."
"Okay, what else is there?"
Emma Russell asked.
"The Japanese government has provided a batch of ancient prints, which are said to be from their royal collection. They are all rubbings. I hope they can help you with your research."
The staff member replied.
"Okay, I'll go check it out."
…
The plane soon landed on the frozen plain.
A crude runway that was temporarily built.
The north wind was howling and the snow was falling heavily.
Everyone packed up their bags and rushed here non-stop from the hot and humid southern islands of Japan. Fortunately, the Imperial Organization had sufficient logistical supplies, and everyone changed into new cold-proof and warm clothes, wrapped up like dumplings.
Another huge deep pit appeared before our eyes.
It's almost identical to the one at the shrine.
"Doctor, please follow me."
Other members of the Imperial Organization had long ago built a temporary camp around the deep pit, and had explored the interior of the deep pit in advance and drawn a three-dimensional perspective model.
Taking a simple elevator cage, everyone arrived at the bottom of the deep pit, where there stood huge egg-shaped objects as high as several stories. These giant eggs were squeezed at the bottom of the deep pit. The thick "eggshells" had been broken, and the sticky foamy liquid overflowing from the surroundings was frozen into ice sculptures. There was nothing inside.
Tents have been set up around the dome.
There were also staff members busy walking around.
"Dr. Emma, please look at these prints."
A staff member came over with a slate.
"Is this the collection of the Japanese royal family?"
Emma Russell said, examining the print carefully.
"Yes, it was originally painted on a stone tablet, but it was destroyed by bombing during World War II. Fortunately, a rubbing of it has been preserved."
The staff explained.
"The people in the picture don't look Japanese."
Emma Russell asked as she looked at the people in the print, who were wearing white robes and black beards and whose appearance and dress had some Greek and Middle Eastern styles.
"The Phoenicians."
The staff member replied.
The print describes a scene like this:
a giant creature resembling Godzilla is fighting with the Supreme MUTO. The battle is extremely fierce. The ancient Phoenicians used many techniques to express this horrific scene.
Then, "Godzilla" was injured.
The Supreme MUTO did not pursue the victory.
Instead, he suddenly broke away from the battle and fled quickly.
Emma Russell frowned in thought.
Try to sort out the scene in the painting in your mind.
After being injured, "Godzilla" fell on the beach by the sea. Many Phoenicians surrounded him, knelt down and worshiped the giant, then cried bitterly.
There is Phoenician writing on the side.
The following is a thoughtful English annotation:
"Dagon, slowly fell down."
"As we gathered around the fallen Dagon and prayed for him... we saw two deep scars on his holy body, the wounds from his fight with unclean things. We heard the deafening sound of drums resounding through the sky, like the roar of a flood."
Emma Russell suddenly remembered.
That shrine also mentions the drumming of the "Thunder God".
"Then, as if in answer to our prayers."
"Dagon opened his eyes."
"Great goddess, we bow to the ground and thank you for your grace. Your Son still stands in the world."
This is followed by a long passage of praise.
That is to say, according to the description in the print, "Dagon" was still alive at that time.
"There are legends about dying gods in cultures all over the world. Greek civilization, Egyptian civilization, Hopi civilization... it's everywhere, and it just so happens that the evidence to prove these ancient stories is right next to us."
A female voice sounded nearby.
"Phoenician is a very difficult language to translate, and hopefully these notes will help you understand the engravings."
Another female voice said.
Two Chinese women in down jackets and white coats walked over with their hands in their pockets. They looked almost exactly the same, with the only difference being that one had long hair and the other had short hair.
"Dr. Chen, Dr. Ling, you are here."
The staff nearby greeted me.
It turns out that the two are the top mythologists of the Imperial Organization.
Emma Russell thought to herself, then held out her hand:
"Hello, two doctors, call me Emma."
"Hello, Dr. Emma."
The three women exchanged a few words.
"What's going on now?"
Emma Russell asked.
"Remember Outpost No. 14 that we built in the southern Philippines? The 3D scan result of this deep pit is almost exactly the same as that of Outpost No. 14."
Dr. Chen handed over a tablet.
Emma Russell took a look.
The shape of the pit resembles the outline of a giant creature.
"Is this... Godzilla?"
Emma Russell asked uncertainly.
"Yes, strictly speaking, a fellow tribesman of Godzilla."
Dr. Ling nodded and said:
"These deep pits and caves are not naturally formed geological structures. They are actually fossils of the abdomen of Titan beasts. They are crime scenes and death chambers."
As he spoke, he kept switching the three-dimensional models in his hands.
"There are also these giant eggs at Outpost No. 14. The only difference is that the eggs here have already hatched, while the ones over there seem to be still dormant."
"So this is a nursery?"
Emma Russell asked.
"Yes, that's right."
Dr. Chen said in a deep voice.
"What is recorded in this set of prints is actually the confrontation between an atomic dinosaur and an earthquake beetle. This atomic dinosaur is very likely the historical prototype of the ancient Japanese god of thunder and the ancient Semitic god of the sea, Dagon."
Hearing this, Emma Russell thought of something and couldn't help but say to herself:
"The Phoenician stele mentioned a huge drum sound coming from Dagon's body, and the legend of the Japanese shrine mentioned that once the thunder god stopped beating the drum, the earthquake beetle would evolve into the earthquake bug god."
"You're very perceptive, Dr. Emma."
Dr. Chen praised:
"Ever since you confirmed that the earthquake beetle is the MUTO, we both suspected that the so-called earthquake beetle god is the MUTO's maternal super species - the Supreme MUTO."
Earthquake Beetle = MUTO.
Earthquake God = Supreme MUTO.
She pointed her finger at a certain part of the print and said:
"Look here, the details of the picture clearly depict the two wounds on Dagon's body. I have reason to believe that these are the wounds left by the ovipositor of the earthquake beetle. It's not that the MUTOs were defeated and fled. On the contrary, it has already injected eggs into Dagon's body, so it stopped fighting on its own initiative."
"The MUTOs need to keep Dagon alive so that they can provide adequate nutrition for their offspring."
Emma Russell said with a look of realization.
"Like a parasite. Oh, and I remember some bees have this habit, too."
The staff member nearby interrupted.
"At the same time, we have other discoveries."
Dr. Ling continued:
"Whether in the Philippines or Siberia, there are hundreds of giant eggs in the two deep pits. By analyzing the geological data in the two deep pits, it perfectly matches the time of several mass extinctions of species on Earth. Based on this, I boldly guess..."
Dr. Ling stated her conclusion:
"The earthquake beetle family is a species that specifically parasitizes the atomic dinosaur family. In ancient times, there were no nuclear power plants or nuclear submarines. The MUTOs used the atomic furnaces in the bodies of the atomic dinosaur family and the radioactive nuclear materials flowing in their blood to feed their offspring."
"Every time an atomic dinosaur dies, hundreds of earthquake beetles are born. They mutate through cannibalism or mating between males and females. In short, through some unknown method, they evolve into Supreme MUTOs."
"After reshaping its body and evolving into a new form, the Supreme MUTO will completely destroy the existing ecosystem according to its own needs. All invasive species will adopt this strategy, including us humans. When you have the ability to make the ecosystem obey you, why bother to adapt to the ecosystem?"
"That is to say..."
A researcher said with a dull look on his face.
"That is to say, if we cannot stop the MUTO, then we humans will also face mass extinction."
Emma Russell's tone was very grim.
She looked at the twins in front of her and thought to herself:
Thank you, two doctors.
Thank you for telling me...
The Destroyer faction's victory condition.
"Not to stop the MUTOs, but to stop the Supreme MUTO."
Dr. Chen shook his head and sighed:
"The pit on Kyushu Island has no giant eggs or eggshells left in it, and the shape of the pit is different from here, which means it is not the MUTO nursery. Then why did an earthquake beetle emerge from it? I strongly suspect that this is where it pupates and transforms from a nymph into an adult."
Dr. Ling took over and added:
"It was born in Siberia, came to the southern island of Japan to sleep, and eventually evolved into the Supreme MUTO... We have to prepare for the worst. If human weapons can't hurt the MUTO, then we may have to rely on that guy."
"Which guy?"
After standing by and listening for a long time, Miles Atherton finally found an opportunity to interrupt and asked quickly.
Doctors Chen Ling and Chen Ling looked at each other and said in unison:
"Godzilla!"
"To leave the fate of mankind to a Titan beast that you don't know whether it's a friend or an enemy and you can't communicate with?"
Miles Atherton said incredulously.
Evelin stood quietly by the side, listening to the conversation between several people without saying a word. At the same time, at the beginning, the mobile phone in her pocket had quietly started recording.
…
"…Maybe I can only rely on that guy."
"Which guy?"
"Godzilla!"
In Honolulu, Hawaii, Space Marines and technical priests were crowded in a cramped and dim temporary base, quietly listening to the mobile phone recording sent by Evelyn.
There was no internet or signal in Siberia. After the members of the Imperial Organization left there, Evelyn sent the recording to Fu Qinghai as soon as possible.
In the Monster Movie Universe, "Dagon" is a Titan monster that belongs to the atomic dinosaur family.
But in the Cthulhu universe, "Dagon" is another god, and that god is an Old One.
Fu Qinghai found it quite interesting.
At the same time, he sincerely sighed:
It's really good to have a spy inside.
Stay up to date with the latest news from the Imperial Organization.
"In this case, the plot has reached a critical point."
The three pairs of mechanical appendages in front of Xiao Fei kept rubbing, like a big fly in a red robe, and he said excitedly:
"It's time to send out the 'Pojun Jinjia'!"
"Yes, we must stop the Supreme MUTO."
Fu Qinghai nodded in agreement, and then said:
"I'm very curious, in the original story, can Godzilla defeat Supreme MUTO? According to them, the earthquake beetles specifically choose atomic dinosaurs to parasitize and reproduce, so there should be some restraint relationship."
"I don't know about that."
Xiao Fei shook his head and said:
"In the first Godzilla movie, there were two ordinary MUTOs, one male and one female, but no Supreme MUTO. However, I think Godzilla is unlikely to defeat the Supreme MUTO. After all, according to Dr. Chen and Dr. Ling, it is a titanic monster that can cause global extinction and a biological evolutionary fault."
Fu Qinghai did not dwell on this issue any more and said:
"Pay close attention to the news from all over the world. I'm also in touch with Evelyn. If the Supreme MUTO appears again, we will set off immediately. I hope it won't target nuclear submarines this time, otherwise it will be difficult for us to rush to the scene in the first place."
The Chapter Master first gave the order to the Oil Man:
"During this period, maintain the Titans in combat readiness."
"Yes, Khan."
After finishing the explanation, he changed the subject.
"But before that..."
Fu Qinghai sneered:
"Let's finish off a certain woman first."
