Godzilla Earth: Origin (Patreon)

Volume 2 Chapter 17: The Evolution of Machinery

It looked at the forest in front of it and had a premonition that this forest on the edge of Australia's inland was different from the lifeless forests it had seen in the far east.

In there, there was something buried.

Was it a life form?

Doesn't seem like it.

Was it a machine created by humans?

No, that doesn't seem likely either.

What are they?

Godzilla was very perplexed; it had never sensed a similar presence before.

Not knowing whether they were hostile or friendly, Godzilla decided to bypass the forest after some thought.

Since it wasn't clear if they were enemies or something else, it would be best not to disturb them.

What if they were some form of life that it had never seen before? Since humans had reshaped plants, it was also possible that they had reshaped some animals.

Its current weight was too heavy, and stepping on them could harm too many other lives. Plants were resilient, even if they were shattered by the shockwave, they could survive.

But animals were more fragile, so it was better not to disturb them.

With this in mind, Godzilla changed direction and aimed to find a barren area at the edge of the mountain range to exit.

It was still a very friendly monster.

Godzilla was walking along the base of the mountains, preparing to leave the forest. However, just as it was about to take another step, the forest began to move.

Since Godzilla didn't want to go in, they would have to come out.

It's a shame.

It thought they weren't enemies.

Go into the mountains; there it wouldn't accidentally harm other life.

Godzilla turned around, and the forest behind it started to stir.

Countless footsteps were advancing toward Godzilla from the forest, and numerous dark figures emerged from the leafy soil.

They burst out of the soil and sprinted toward Godzilla at the fastest speed.

The distance was only 400 meters, and with their speed, they could reach Godzilla in just a few seconds!

"Zi-zi-zi-zi—"

Unfortunately.

A laser appeared from Godzilla's tail.

The tip of Godzilla's tail, facing away from the forest, emitted a scorching beam of light that swept from the bottom of the forest.

The tall trees were cut in half by the high-intensity beam of light, and Godzilla's tail attack sublimated the forest, as well as those little things that were running, turning them into charcoal.

Trees fell, and within a radius of one kilometer from the center of Godzilla's tail, everything over one meter in height was directly sublimated and severed by the powerful beam of light!

In an instant! Thousands, tens of thousands of giant trees fell with a loud crash, colliding with each other, and then crashing to the ground, raising a thick cloud of smoke.

The leaves were still lush and green, except for the part that was cut off, the rest remained intact.

This was Godzilla's care for these trees. It did not use a more destructive breath to attack the forest but chose lasers to protect their roots.

The forest was not dead yet.

But those guys were also not dead.

Whoosh

Whoosh

A single tail beam did not kill all of them. At the moment when Godzilla launched the attack, within the entire forest and even a larger area, countless things began to move.

In the sky, underground, on the mountains!

Several, dozens, and even dozens of different-looking things were activated at this moment. They all moved towards the same direction, the same presence, and started their own run.

"Didi-didi-didi-didi!!!"

Like ostriches.

"Whoosh... Hoo."

Like hawks.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang..."

Like elephants.

"Kak-kak-kak-kak-kak..."

And most of all, like humans.

Were these robots?

Godzilla turned its head to look at them.

Are these robots? No, not just robots, more accurately, they are not just robots.

Because Godzilla could see that these creatures surging out had muscles attached to them, similar to ordinary living beings.

But at the same time, they were also adorned with mechanical skeletons. It could be seen that many limbs were used for construction and transporting something.

They were robots, but not entirely robots.

In the thousands, tens of thousands, and even millions, such things surged from all directions.

They were not equipped with any firearms, no missiles.

They just rushed straight towards Godzilla, unarmed.

What on earth were they trying to do?

Even Godzilla, witnessing this scene, was perplexed.

Were these "animals" coming to attack it? What abilities did they have to harm me?

If that's all, there shouldn't be any problem even if I let them get close, right?

However, thinking this way, Godzilla still had no intention of letting them get close.

Its dorsal fins emitted laser beams, sweeping the sky behind it, while the tail beam struck the robots emerging from the forest.

Sweeping over groups of incoming enemies.

On the mountains in front of Godzilla, many robots were rushing down, and some flying machines were attempting to approach Godzilla from the sky.

Now Godzilla could only use its breath.

In Australia, for the first time, Godzilla demonstrated its breath. It aimed at the mountains in front and used a breath several times stronger than before.

The high-temperature plasma collided with a mountain peak that had a large number of machines descending, and then a hot fireball enveloped the entire mountain peak.

Next came a powerful shockwave that surged in all directions, smashing all the machines attempting to approach Godzilla from that direction in the sky.

Is that all?

All the machines on a whole mountain peak were completely annihilated by Godzilla, they offered no resistance and were destroyed by Godzilla.

But at the same time, what Godzilla destroyed was only the machines on this mountain peak. In various places on the mountains, more machines were coming.

Including behind it, on the left, right, and the other three directions in the sky. Countless machines were coming.

The dorsal fin beams continuously changed direction, sweeping away the sky hawks attempting to get close to it.

The tail dragged from the ground, from left to right, then from right to left, sweeping away all the machines attempting to get close from behind.

Godzilla in front breathed out, its breath was like a standard line drawn when God passed judgment, once it swept across a certain area. What followed was a wall of hot flames enveloping the entire mountain peak.

One after another, the walls of fire completely cut off the possibility of machines coming from the mountains. The power of Godzilla's tail beam increased again, annihilating the machines over a larger area.

The drones in the sky were all shot down by the impenetrable laser network, they didn't even have the chance to fall from the sky before being completely destroyed by Godzilla's beam.

Tens of thousands of machines were completely wiped out by Godzilla.

Standing before the reddened mountains, Godzilla at this moment resembled a demon king in hell.

After annihilating all the enemies that came at this moment, Godzilla continued to advance inland in Australia.
