Chapter 179: Godzilla Cells
It didn't matter. Whether the world was destroyed or not, Chang Wei didn't care. What he truly wanted was to collect genetic points. Thanks to the Titan Beasts, he had amassed a fortune in genetic points—after all, they were the ones taking the blame.
Dr. Emma Russell hadn't expected that Ghidorah seemed to be hunting them down, but Jonah Alan quickly realized that it was likely due to the Orca system.
Every time they activated the Orca system to awaken a dormant Titan, Ghidorah would come after them.
Once or twice could be dismissed as coincidence, but as it kept happening, Jonah Alan began to suspect that Dr. Emma was up to something. Otherwise, why was Ghidorah so obedient?
"All the monsters we've awakened have submitted to Ghidorah. It seems that aside from Godzilla, no other creature can stand against it."
As a scientist, Dr. Emma noticed the connection between the Orca system and Ghidorah much earlier than Jonah Alan, who was nothing more than a brute with a gun.
But she never voiced her discovery. Instead, she recorded this rare data and observed the situation.
Now, she hesitated. Godzilla had been struck down by humans and hadn't reappeared since. The "god" in whom humanity had placed its hope had vanished after a fleeting moment.
Most of humanity's inhabited regions had already been ravaged by the Titans, resulting in catastrophic casualties. Dr. Emma, who had unleashed so many Titans, now felt a pang of regret. If the "god" abandoned them and Godzilla was truly gone—
Who would stop Ghidorah?
She had only wanted to slay the so-called god and return humanity to a society coexisting with the Titans—not to destroy humanity altogether.
But now, Ghidorah clearly intended to wipe out humankind.
It had complete command over the other Titans, making them deviate from her expectations. Instead of balance, they were mercilessly slaughtering humans.
She didn't particularly care about human casualties, but now, she was worried about her daughter's safety.
At this point, no place seemed safe. Their supplies were running low, and without resupply, she dreaded what might happen.
Human nature crumbles under pressure.
While she worried, Jonah Alan was quite satisfied. He believed humanity was a plague that deserved annihilation.
Still, he was wary of Dr. Emma's potential betrayal. She had previously convinced him to use the Titans to "slay the god," fearing that an unexpected divine intervention might hinder his plans.
Now that the "god" was missing, Jonah Alan wasn't foolish enough to let his guard down.
To him, the Orca system, which could control monsters, was a serious threat. What if Dr. Emma ordered the Titans to turn on Ghidorah? He couldn't afford to take that risk.
Women—they're all backstabbing bitches!
Jonah Alan, embittered by past betrayals in love and marriage, seethed with hatred.
Meanwhile...
The man the world was searching for—Chang Wei—was deep within Godzilla's lair.
After enjoying some Texas barbecue, he had arrived here.
This underground space held no secrets from him. After all, he was Schrödinger's Chang Wei—existing everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
And there, he saw the slumbering Godzilla.
The Oxygen Destroyer had inflicted immense damage on Godzilla, breaking down the oxygen in its body and nearly dissolving it. But fortunately, Godzilla had something absurdly overpowered—G-Cells.
These cells were beyond broken. They could survive the extreme gravitational pull of a black hole—where everything is torn apart into quarks—and still endure.
Godzilla's cells possessed extraordinary regenerative capabilities (Organizer G-1), and many kaiju had been born from these cells.
This genetic material enabled rapid cell regeneration, instantly healing any wound. However, only Godzilla could control this power.
If any other lifeform absorbed these cells, they would immediately be overtaken and transformed into a monster—the invasive properties were terrifyingly strong.
Unlimited growth. Unlimited evolution.
Yet, in some aspects, they were oddly weak. Take Burning Godzilla, for example—technically, G-Cells should have been able to withstand high temperatures and facilitate evolution or repair its damaged nuclear reactor.
After all, Godzilla's DNA, capable of mutating through radiation, had demonstrated extreme adaptability and a high probability of mutation.
In 1994, during its battle against Mechagodzilla, Godzilla absorbed Fire Rodan's life energy and unleashed a red Super Uranium Heat Ray.
Mechagodzilla, which had easily shrugged off ordinary atomic breath, was instantly obliterated by this new attack.
Before that, Godzilla had absorbed Rodan's energy to instantly regenerate its "second brain" in the waist area—previously destroyed by the G-Crusher weapon.
This showed how Godzilla's DNA actively responded to external stimuli, mutating to save itself in critical moments.
A similar event occurred in 1995 during its battle against SpaceGodzilla.
After enduring repeated attacks from SpaceGodzilla's Corona Beam, Godzilla unleashed an even more powerful Burning Spiral Heat Ray, utterly erasing both SpaceGodzilla and the G-Weapon MOGUERA.
On Earth today, the most extreme environment imaginable would be the epicenter of a nuclear explosion.
In an environment where all other life would perish, Godzilla didn't just survive—it evolved into an even stronger being.
Whenever it faced a crisis, Godzilla's DNA would trigger some kind of reaction, altering its own physiology to adapt.
G-Cells vs. Other Viruses
Blacklight Virus was similar to G-Cells, but even it couldn't withstand the crushing forces of a black hole—even one only nine times the mass of the Sun.
As for the Divine Light Virus—Chang Wei wasn't sure.
Still, just based on the potential of G-Cells, they were at the top of his wish list.
"I wonder if the Divine Light Virus can resist the invasion of Godzilla's cells… I hope it doesn't turn me into a monster."
Chang Wei had read the comics—humans infected by Godzilla's cells mutated into grotesque abominations.
But the Divine Light Virus had already assimilated divine power—a force with a universal-scale minimum threshold. It was also in the process of digesting the Stand Virus, which operated on multiversal conceptual levels. So it should stand a good chance against G-Cells.
Besides, this wasn't one of those ridiculously overpowered versions of Godzilla. What was there to be afraid of?
"Let's start by taking a ton of it and see how grilled Godzilla meat tastes."
