Chapter 1712 The Horror of the Titans

The B-2 Spirit stealth strategic bomber, codenamed "Spirit," quietly emerged from the shadows of Andersen Air Force Base in Guam and disappeared into the night sky over the Pacific Ocean.

Inside its bomb bay lies a B61-12 tactical nuclear bomb codenamed "Bunker Crusher".

This is the most advanced variable-yield nuclear weapon in the U.S. military arsenal, with its yield precisely adjustable between 300 tons and 5 tons of TNT.

The B-2's mission was to drop this nuclear bomb from high altitude in the "worst-case scenario" where bunker buster bombs failed, using its precision guidance and massive airburst or ground shockwave effect to ensure the complete "purification" of Connors and everything around it.

Nuclear weapons, this Pandora's box, were silently opened over Fukushima.

In order to destroy a nuclear monster, humanity is willing to use another nuclear bomb, even at the cost of potentially permanently polluting the island nation's core territory.

General Angelela took one last look at Godzilla on the main screen, still greedily devouring nuclear fuel. The enormous figure loomed in and out of view amidst the flames and smoke, like a demon from the ancient abyss.

He turned to the almost limp Kenji Kobayashi and said in a formulaic, cold tone, “Mr. Kobayashi, please convey to your Prime Minister and people that this is a difficult choice that must be made for the continuation of civilization for all mankind. The free world will not forget the pain and sacrifice that the people of this island nation are enduring at this moment. After successfully defeating this monster, the government of the United States will fully support your country’s reconstruction efforts and provide all necessary assistance.”

This promise, as standard as a textbook diplomatic statement, appears so hollow and hypocritical in the face of the looming shadow of bunker buster bombs and the silent threat of stealth nuclear bombers.

Kenji Kobayashi clenched the soaked handkerchief in his hand, his nails digging deep into his palm.

He stared at the colossal beast on the screen, a symbol of destruction, and then at the general before him, a figure representing immense power from another dimension. A profound sense of powerlessness and despair for the fate of his nation overwhelmed him like a cold tide.

The Seventh Fleet's USS Ronald Reagan carrier strike group, like a giant steel blade, cleaved through the dark waves of the Pacific Ocean and approached the Fukushima coastline at full speed.

On the bridge, the radar screens were densely covered with lights representing friendly aircraft.

The fighter jets launched by Yokota and Kadena had already reached the airspace over Fukushima. The piercing roar of their engines, like the whisper of death, drowned out Godzilla's heavy breathing on the ground and the crashing sound of falling building debris.

"Attention all units! 'Titan-Alpha' has been marked as a top priority target! 'Eagle Nest' Squadron (F-15), 'Ghost' Squadron (F-22), deploy according to the predetermined attack sequence! Prioritize attacking its head, joints, and base of the dorsal fin! Authorized use of AGM-65 Maverick missiles, GBU-12 laser-guided bombs, and AIM-9X missiles for self-defense! Maintain altitude and evade potential energy attacks! Attack—begin!"

The commander's orders were instantly transmitted to the cockpit of every fighter jet via an encrypted channel.

The first to launch an attack were the F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets cruising at high altitude.

They are not stealth fighters, but they have powerful payload capabilities.

The pilot locks onto the target, and the fire control computer rapidly calculates the lead and wind drift.

Flashes of fire appeared beneath the wings as slender AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missiles, trailing orange-red flames, swooped down like venomous bees!

These missiles are equipped with advanced imaging infrared seekers that can firmly lock onto the astonishing heat emanating from Godzilla's body.

Almost simultaneously, the stealth-capable F-22 Raptor took advantage of its low observability to quietly descend to low to medium altitudes, like an assassin in the shadows.

Their targets are Godzilla's relatively vulnerable joints and the base of its massive dorsal fin.

Advanced synthetic aperture radar and electro-optical targeting system (EOTS) precisely locked on the target. The Raptor briefly deactivated its stealth, opened its belly bomb bay, and dropped a series of 500-pound GBU-12 Pavement II laser-guided bombs.

After dropping the bombs, the F-22 immediately reactivated its electronic warfare system and thrust vectoring nozzles to perform high-G maneuvers for evasion.

In an instant, the sky above the ruins of the Fukushima nuclear power plant was filled with dense missile contrails and sharp whistling sounds!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!"

The violent explosion, like a continuous barrage of thunder, ripped across Godzilla's massive body!

Flames soared into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the massive shockwave completely leveled the already crumbling ruins of the surrounding buildings, raising clouds of dust that blotted out the sun.

Infrared imaging showed that Godzilla's keratinous scales were visibly damaged and charred at the point of explosion, especially several GBU-12s that accurately hit the joints, which seemed to cause its massive body to stagger for a very short time.

Inside the command center, the atmosphere was heavy yet tinged with anticipation.

General Angeleira stared intently at the main screen, while Kenji Kobayashi held his breath, gripping the railing in front of him tightly until his knuckles turned white.

He feared both the failure of the attack and the secondary disasters that would result from a successful attack.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the massive outline became clear again amidst the firelight and smoke.

"Roar------!!!"

A roar more ferocious and furious than ever before, like a tangible sonic hammer, slammed down in all directions!
The sound waves swept across, causing even high-altitude fighter jets to feel a violent tremor in their fuselages, and the communication inside the pilots' helmets was instantly drowned out by the piercing noise!

Godzilla, Connors, it's moving!
It did not fall down, nor was it even seriously damaged!
Those missiles and bombs that were powerful enough to destroy a tank formation left only deeper scorch marks and a few non-lethal cracks in its armor!
Its enormous eyes, gleaming with an eerie green light, were now filled with extreme rage at being provoked by an ant!
His gaze was cold and cruel, carrying the contempt of a superior being looking down upon a lower insect.

It suddenly raised a giant claw covered with a thick layer of keratin, not to swat at the annoying "flies" in the air, but with tremendous force, and slammed it hard onto the ground beneath its feet!

"Boom——!!!"

A dull, deafening roar, like an explosion from the Earth's core, resounded!

The tremors were felt throughout the Fukushima area and even further afield!
The floor of the command center was shaking!
Where Godzilla struck, a huge crater tens of meters in diameter instantly formed, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards at an alarming speed, heading straight for the areas of the nuclear power plant where the molten reactor core was sealed!
"What is it doing?!"

Kenji Kobayashi screamed, fear gripping his heart in an instant.

"It's venting! It's warning!"

A geologist, looking at the seismic wave monitoring data, turned pale. "But this strike... my God, it deliberately hit near a geological fault zone! Those temporary concrete structures... the crack readings are skyrocketing!"
