Boom!
Riding against the wind, a blinding blue light pierced the heavens before anyone in Belobog could react. The shockwaves from the surging energy alone sent chills down their spines.
Meanwhile, on the spaceship, Silver Wolf remained completely unbothered, focused on her game.
Piloting the ship was Kafka's job—her game season was about to end, and she needed to climb the rankings.
"Silver Wolf."
"Hm?"
"Hold tight."
"Huh? Ah—ow!"
------------------------------------
"I'm going to start accelerating!"
The spaceship carved graceful yet urgent streaks across the sky.
Along with it came a thick, intimidating beam of blue light!
"What the hell is going on, Kafka!"
Silver Wolf was flung left and right by the sudden commotion, to the point where even the ship's gravity system couldn't stabilize her.
"Ah, you're talking about this? The gravity system was damaged right from the start."
"Then why are you fine!"
"Because I fastened my seatbelt."
Kafka even freed up a hand to point at her seatbelt, looking helplessly at Silver Wolf, who was gripping the chair tightly.
"I told you long ago to buckle up when you're on a spaceship, but you just wouldn't listen."
"Now's not the time to talk about that! Hurry up and fix it! What the hell is going on?"
Silver Wolf still didn't understand what had happened. She only remembered Kafka telling her to sit tight, and then the spaceship started accelerating.
"Maybe it's the defense system of Jarilo-VI? Who knows, as long as we dodge it."
Despite her words, Kafka felt a bit surprised.
Jarilo-VI had been frozen for hundreds of years — could it really develop this kind of technology in such a short time?
Or was there help from another civilization?
Either way, it didn't match Elio's script. Looks like the mastermind behind this weapon was the person they were looking for.
As they spoke, a blue beam blocked their path.
"Bang!"
Unsurprisingly, under the powerful attack imbued with intense heat, the entire spaceship instantly melted into molten iron and evaporated in the blink of an eye.
"Huh? Not dead?"
Godzilla froze for a moment. In that instant, he sensed an unusual fluctuation, as if reality itself had been altered — but he quickly locked onto their landing spot.
"Hmph." Hot breath spewed out as Godzilla's tail lashed through the air, stirring up a biting gust that stung their faces.
Invading Godzilla's territory and expecting to escape?
"So this is the power of Jarilo's god."
Topaz was shocked by the might of the giant beast before her, and at the same time relieved that she hadn't resorted to her last option: armed seizure!
With the few people she'd brought, armed seizure? She would've been doomed along with them.
"And this isn't even Big Guy's full strength. Big Guy can swallow a Stellaron whole in one bite and blast away swarms and the Antimatter Legion with a single light beam!"
Serval puffed out her chest, proudly giving Topaz a rundown of Godzilla's achievements.
Wait a second!
"That beam... I should've realized it earlier." Topaz slapped her forehead. She should've realized it — all that talk about technology and help from the Xianzhou, even with their help, it was impossible to develop such a ferocious weapon in such a short time!
The beam detected earlier in the galaxy was entirely fired by Godzilla. One shot shattered the swarm that had terrorized countless worlds, and along with it, crushed the Antimatter Legion that had plunged Jarilo-VI into crisis.
Such terrifying strength had been hidden on the planet Jarilo-VI all along.
"No, it wasn't hidden at all — I was just careless." Topaz let out a bitter laugh.
With power like that, even the IPC wouldn't rashly make a move.
For those with true strength, the IPC has always preferred to offer opportunities. Rushing in shouting and fighting... Well, even if they'd known about Godzilla beforehand, who could predict what kind of power this giant creature truly held?
Looking up at the towering figure, Topaz felt deeply shaken.
When Godzilla was lying down earlier, she had only thought him big — but now that he was standing, she finally understood what "enormous" meant.
It was as if the very word had been invented for Godzilla.
Using her power and knowledge, she roughly judged that this so-called god named Godzilla was at least 250 meters tall! As for the length of his tail — it was far too long, way beyond the range of visual estimation.
"By the way, why is Godzilla launching an attack? I didn't even see any enemies?"March 7th's puzzled voice broke the silence at the scene.
"No, a spaceship entered Jarilo, but it was shot down as soon as it entered the atmosphere," Welt replied.
"Huh?! How did Uncle Yang know that!" Hearing Welt accurately state that the ship was shot down in the atmosphere, March 7th was greatly shocked. Could Uncle Yang be hiding some unknown skill?
"No, I just happened to be chatting with the conductor. He asked when we could return."
Noticing Godzilla's gaze, Bronya was the first to speak the moment Godzilla moved, taking on the task.
"Pursuing the enemy is naturally our duty!" Since the deity had already shot down the enemy, if she, Bronya, didn't even have the ability to capture the enemy, how could she have the face to meet the deity!!!
All Silvermane Guards, move out!
...
"Ugh, that hurt, my butt's going to split into eight pieces — hey! My phone!"
Silver Wolf was rubbing her sore butt when she suddenly noticed her phone not far away, radiating a strong aura of resentment.
The shattered phone case seemed to be telling the tale of the hardship it had endured just a moment ago. Under the sunlight, it started to reflect shimmering rays.
"It's over, all over." Silver Wolf froze instantly.
"My game save, my season end — it's all over."
"Such a strong wave of resentment all of a sudden."
Kafka looked at Silver Wolf, who seemed as if her resentment was about to take physical form, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
While observing the surroundings, Kafka suddenly noticed that this place looked a bit different from the Jarilo-VI she remembered.
The old Jarilo, affected by the Stellaron, was covered in ice and snow. Even though it looked normal from the outside, upon entering, she found the environment was indeed better than most worlds.
If not for the lingering rifts and the occasional wandering rift creatures, she might have thought Jarilo had returned to its former status as a famous retirement and tourist destination in the universe.
"Roar~?" A soft and slightly confused roar pulled her out of her thoughts.
It was an adorable little bear, its snow-white fur particularly striking in this lush green forest.
Its innocent eyes instantly captured Kafka's heart.
Although she didn't know what that feeling was.
"What a cute little guy, Silver Wolf, come take a look."
"My season end... sob sob sob." This Silver Wolf was still grieving over her season end.
Kafka let out a helpless sigh.
Given the current situation, is it really okay to keep thinking about your game? I have a feeling we're going to be surrounded here soon.
The next second.
"People ahead! Stop all movements and submit to inspection!"
"So soon?"
Though she said that, Kafka never expected the enemy would actually surround them in the very next second.
Looking at the Silvermane Guards that had surrounded the two of them, Kafka let out another helpless sigh.
This really is... helpless.
