High above the Pacific Ocean, the auras of two kings clashed fiercely.
Cronus's magma-like giant eyes and Legendary Godzilla's pupils, flashing with a faint blue light, confronted each other from afar beneath the churning thunderclouds.
The seawater beneath their feet boiled, sending up plumes of scorching steam.
Invisible energy surged, causing ripples to form in the very air.
A war that would determine the rightful ancient overlord of this planet was already on the verge of breaking out.
However, just at the moment when the glow of Godzilla's dorsal fins and the flames on the Titan god's body both climbed to their absolute peaks...
...several entirely different, incredibly chaotic rhythms emerged.
These rhythms originated from the planet itself.
The two giant beasts, on the brink of war, stopped in unison.
They simultaneously sensed countless unfamiliar yet equally powerful auras frantically breeding and spreading across every corner of the globe.
...
On the African continent, the surface of the arid savanna split open into a massive canyon without any warning.
The next second, an incalculable number of giant Zerg surged out from the pitch-black rift.
They let out piercing screeches, rapidly swarming over everything in the vicinity.
And even deeper underground, something else had been awakened.
Hard rock layers were easily melted through by potent acid as a ferocious Alien Queen, leading her endless brood, burst forth from the depths of the earth.
They quickly clashed with the Zerg, erupting into a primal species war across the continent.
At the same time, in remote corners of several continents, space began to ripple like the surface of water.
Several massive Mobile Construction Vehicles appeared out of thin air on the wasteland.
They rapidly deployed, their cold metal armor transforming and reassembling. In just a few short minutes, they established a complete industrial complex.
Tesla Coils radiating a dangerous red glow rose from the ground, and a massive number of Prism Tanks poured out.
The cold War Factories began to endlessly churn out machines of war.
...
An even more bizarre scene unfolded over a certain ruin in the East.
A spatial rift was violently torn open.
A group of figures dressed in ancient cultivator robes stepped out from the rift.
Each of them wore a deranged smile on their face, humming eerie chants that mortals could not comprehend.
The most unsettling part was their incredibly twisted physiques. Upon closer inspection, their heads were carried in their hands, while a single hand grew from the top of their necks.
Their very existence was distorting the reality around them.
On Cronus's shoulder, Tomie watched this bizarre spectacle. For the first time, her eyes—which usually gleamed with malice and excitement—revealed pure speechlessness.
She leaned gently against Yang Yi and let out a sigh.
"This world is way too complicated..."
"Maybe it should just be destroyed. I'm tired."
Just as she spoke, an even more violent roar echoed from the horizon.
Several colossal spaceships, brimming with a rugged industrial aesthetic, tore through the thick atmosphere.
The leading ship transformed in mid-air, turning into a giant red-and-blue robot. His magnetic voice resounded through the clouds.
"Autobots, transform!"
Optimus Prime led his subordinates, descending upon this chaotic land.
They were not here to flee from disaster, but to hunt their enemies.
Hot on their heels was a batch of even more crazed Decepticons.
The bodies of these Decepticons had long been corrupted by some unknown power. Writhing tentacles grew from their exhaust pipes, and their metallic frames were covered in blinking eyeballs.
Faced with this endless chaos, Legendary Godzilla slowly retracted the glow of his dorsal fins.
Opposite him, Cronus also lowered his giant hand, which was capable of crushing mountains.
At this moment, these giant beasts finally, albeit sluggishly, realized that they might not be enemies after all.
The fragile prototype of an "Earth Defenders Alliance" was forced into existence.
...
Just as this menagerie of freaks and monsters made their grand entrance.
On Cronus's shoulder, a portal shimmering with golden light appeared out of thin air.
A girl wearing a white tank top, sporting spiky hair, and bearing a confident smile on her face was the first to jump out of the portal.
Behind her followed a mighty army of the Shadowkhan.
A burly, large-nosed green-skinned demon, bound by countless chains flashing with runes, followed reluctantly at the very back.
Beside it stood a man in an archaeologist's jacket with a face full of resignation, along with a skinny old man holding various magical artifacts and muttering under his breath.
"Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao!"
Jade looked around, her gaze eventually locking onto Yang Yi, who was sitting there leisurely.
"Hi, I'm Jade, a representative sent by Section 13."
"We'd like to invite you, and all the 'big guys' present, to form the 'Earth Doomsday Resistance Organization' together to fight against the extraterrestrial threats."
The chained Shendu cast a disdainful glance at Yang Yi with his scarlet dragon eyes.
"Hmph, mortal."
"To fight those extraterrestrial demons, you must rely on my power."
"As long as you undo my seal, I might consider..."
Shendu didn't even get to finish his sentence.
Yang Yi's figure had already silently appeared right in front of him.
He looked calmly at the evil dragon. "You're the vessel for the Talismans?"
Shendu's heart skipped a beat as an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped him.
He subconsciously opened his mouth, spewing forth a blast of scorching dragon breath.
However, the flames, hot enough to melt steel, were completely blocked by an invisible barrier half a meter away from Yang Yi.
Yang Yi reached out his right hand and grabbed Shendu's thick neck single-handedly, as if snatching a little chick.
The next second, under Shendu's incredulous gaze...
Yang Yi's other hand plunged directly into his chest.
"Rat."
An octagonal stone carved with the image of a rat was pulled out, resting quietly in Yang Yi's palm.
"Ox."
"Tiger."
...
Yang Yi's movements were unhurried. With every reach of his hand, a Talisman was forcefully yanked out of Shendu's body.
Shendu let out agonized roars, his body struggling frantically, yet he couldn't shake Yang Yi's arm in the slightest.
Soon, all twelve Talismans hovered neatly in front of Yang Yi.
He let go, and Shendu, completely drained of his power, slumped to the ground like a puddle of mud.
Having done all this, under everyone's shocked gazes, Yang Yi placed them into the Transmutation Table.
*Hum—!*
The next second, a massive quantity of Talismans poured out from his body.
Yang Yi waved his hand casually.
The countless Talismans, as if possessing a life of their own, automatically flew toward all the "allies" present.
A complete set of Talismans plastered themselves onto Legendary Godzilla's body.
Twelve glowing Talismans also embedded themselves into Cronus's rock-composed body.
Kong, Ghidorah, Rodan...
Even the human soldiers of the "Inner World" who had just established their base, as well as the silent Shadowkhan, all received a set each.
In this instant, the entire world's aesthetic completely changed.
Godzilla Earth subconsciously activated the power of the Monkey Talisman.
His mountain-like body instantly transformed into a giant turtle, and he then began to swim leisurely in the water.
Above the Antarctic ice cap, the three-headed dragon Ghidorah, having just broken free from his restraints, had his three heads fighting each other once again.
The middle head used the Rooster Talisman to levitate their body into the air.
The left head used the Rabbit Talisman to gain godlike speed, thrashing about so fast it became a mere blur.
The right head, meanwhile, used the Ox Talisman to gain infinite strength, viciously biting down on the left head's neck.
After doing all this, Yang Yi exchanged a glance with Tomie beside him.
By coincidence, both of them thought of something amusing.
