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.
-------------------------------------
Sitting and waiting for death is not the style of a Stellaron Hunter.
Kafka raised her right index finger to her lips, her gaze fixed on Gepard standing at the front, and softly said, "Good child, would you let us pass first, okay?"
Unknowingly, her Words of Enchantment quietly crept in, and everyone present experienced a momentary mental pause, instinctively about to follow Kafka's command and make way.
"Boom!" A rumble came from the ground, the tremor strong enough to shake people off their feet, and what followed was an inexplicable wave of heat. Kafka saw with her own eyes the surrounding air distort visibly due to the temperature.
"I have a bad feeling about this!"
It grew dark — this was the truest reflection of Kafka and Silver Wolf's feelings at that moment.
Looking up, a colossal figure leaned down slightly, its scorching breath exhaling as if venting displeasure, yet also seeming like a threat.
"Is this the final boss of some game? But I just started the dungeon."
Silver Wolf slowly chewed her gum, leisurely observing the massive creature.
As Stellaron Hunters traversing the universe, mere size alone could not intimidate them.
"Lord God!" The commotion caused by Godzilla successfully broke the crowd free from Kafka's Words of Enchantment. Gepard looked up and saw Godzilla's mouth rumbling like an angry thunderstorm.
Reacting quickly, Gepard led his squad to salute Godzilla.
A wave of shame washed over him.
He had been the first to rush to the front lines, yet had been bewitched by the invader.
It had taken Lord God's personal intervention.
The honor of the Landau family filled him with torment.
"Kafka, Silver Wolf? What are they... Ah, I see."
With a slight mental shift, Godzilla quickly pieced it together.
They had come for the Stellaron, and also for Elio's script.
Although he himself had done nothing but laze around at home, ever since the Astral Express crew arrived, they had remained stationary on Jarilo, and the script, where the Trailblazer was supposed to save Jarilo, had never played out. Now the two directors had come in person to rewrite the script.
But... this has nothing to do with me!
Whatever your script is, don't disturb me!
"An unidentified giant beast — looks like this is the variable in Elio's script. However, he seems to have misunderstood us a bit, Silver Wolf?"
"You don't have to tell me! Today I'm taking revenge for my game progress!" Filled with fury, Silver Wolf's execution level shot to the max, her hands becoming afterimages as they danced across a virtual keyboard.
In the blink of an eye, several chains of virtual energy materialized out of thin air, binding Godzilla's limbs tightly.
"Hmph, this is the downside of being huge. How does it feel, can't move anymore, right? Today I'll make sure you learn what happens when you mess with me, Silver Wolf!" Silver Wolf crossed her arms, her petite figure radiating surprising dominance.
Kafka took two steps back slightly, to avoid accidental damage.
"So this is Aether Editing? Feels like a game projected into reality."
A large body brings many inconveniences, and movement speed is one of them. Compared to small, agile figures, it was disadvantageous in many ways. But...
"Strength brings miracles!"
Godzilla let out a cold snort, his tail whipping out like a steel whip, and with a slight exertion of his limbs, the chains that had previously seemed unbreakable shattered completely under the force.
This scene left Silver Wolf dumbfounded, and she quickly returned to the keyboard, deploying a variety of drones to attack.
She did have a short blade for close combat, but for a giant like this — who would go melee?!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The steel whip-like tail swept through, smashing the drones Silver Wolf had summoned one after another.
"Hm?" At that moment, Godzilla noticed an organic presence mixed among the drones.
Kafka.
She was darting between the exploding drones, rapidly approaching Godzilla's head.
Two hundred meters of altitude, gone in an instant!
A streak of violet light flew upward.
"Good child, take a nap." Kafka's eyes flashed with a bewitching glow. She hadn't been slacking off earlier — through observation, she had realized this giant beast possessed intelligence. And as long as intelligence existed, her Words of Enchantment would be exceptionally effective on such a colossal creature!
"Whoosh!" A sound of breaking air came flying, and a hand grabbed it!
"Huh?" Kafka's enchanting eyes were now full of confusion. After struggling a bit, she confirmed it — she had indeed been caught.
And she couldn't break free.
The next second, she was brought before Godzilla. Facing this giant beast, there wasn't the slightest trace of fear in Kafka's heart — people like her never experienced fear.
Looking at Kafka, whose head was the only thing peeking out from the grasp of his hand, Godzilla slightly opened his mouth, as if preparing to breathe fire.
"Hey! Kafka!" Silver Wolf, standing below, shouted anxiously, acting as if she was about to use Ether Editing again.
"Bang!" The tail, having just swept away the drones, landed squarely on Silver Wolf's head with a thud, smashing her into the ground.
The whole process was light and easy.
When the others arrived at the scene, all they saw was Godzilla holding Kafka and shaking her up and down, and Silver Wolf buried in the dirt — whenever she tried to inch out even a little, a tail dedicated to maintaining order would appear and smack her right back in.
"Bang."
"Bang."
"Bang."
"Ah! It's that woman!" March 7th pointed at Kafka, who was being held by Godzilla, and exclaimed.
"The Stellaron Hunters actually came too." Welt frowned slightly. Was Jarilo really so sought after these days? Even the Stellaron Hunters had gotten involved.
Seeing them arrive, Godzilla casually tossed Kafka down.
At this moment, Silver Wolf was still pinned.
"Hi, cutie." After landing, Kafka didn't make any moves, but instead waved at Stelle, who was wearing a Godzilla T-shirt, greeting her as if she were just visiting, without the slightest hint of distress from being captured.
She hadn't even thought about escaping, because she knew that for the big guy behind her to so casually toss her down, he must be fully confident he could catch her again.
In their brief interaction, she had understood — this seemingly oppressive giant beast was nothing like it appeared.
He possessed true intelligence.
"Godzilla actually managed to capture those two — is he really that powerful?"
March 7th's attention was entirely on Godzilla, who had caught the Stellaron Hunters, her eyes filled with disbelief.
After all, to catch the Stellaron Hunters, the Interastral Peace Corporation had issued a bounty of at least 5.1 billion!
Even the corporation's branch offices were ordered to monitor the Stellaron Hunters' movements.
Yet, under such circumstances, the Stellaron Hunters still roamed freely. Not long ago, they had even broken into Herta's space station, made a scene, and left at their leisure.
And now, they had actually been captured on Jarilo.
Himeko was also a bit surprised.
Though Godzilla was strong, Silver Wolf and Kafka were no ordinary opponents.
When it came to fighting giant beast-type enemies, Godzilla was undoubtedly ranked first, but no one expected this Godzilla to be able to capture both Kafka and Silver Wolf.
This was truly...
One of the reasons Godzilla hadn't gone for the kill was that Kafka and Silver Wolf hadn't intended to kill him either — they just wanted to quiet him down temporarily.
And the second reason was...
"Where does this little rascal keep her savings?"
Lightly tapping Silver Wolf's head, Godzilla's thoughts began to drift.
