The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapter 73 [Lord of the Abyss] Camazotz

The netizens who were watching the live broadcast at the moment were immediately shocked when they saw this.

No, does it have to be so outrageous?
Iron Man actually ran away during a fight?!

And his high-tech combat suits were once again dropped by wild monsters!

This made everyone feel suspicious.

Is human technology so vulnerable in the face of these ancient creatures?

These Titan creatures, which may suddenly appear at any time, all possess powerful and strange abilities.

Can humanity truly achieve final victory in this extremely dangerous war? ! !
…………

……

[Imperial Organization Headquarters].

When the person in charge, Houston Brooks, saw Iron Man's defeat and escape, his old body suddenly collapsed to the ground, holding his head in pain and said:

"Oh my God, what on earth have I done to release such a horrible monster..."

Let's go back a few hours ago——

【Skull Island】.

Under the instruction of Houston Brooks, a large drilling team, protected by hundreds of fully armed soldiers, successfully entered the underground nest that originally belonged to the skeleton monitor lizard.

"Haha, brothers, the top leaders have finally issued an order..."

Berg, the leader of the drilling team, commanded with a high-spirited look on his face:
"Send someone over immediately to set up the explosives and evacuate the scene. I want the exploration machinery to be down there and working within the hour."

"Haha, Boss, are you rushing the process so fast because you're worried that the higher-ups might change their minds at the last minute?"

A worker jokingly said: "I heard that a few days ago, the leader of the indigenous Iwi tribe on the island, after receiving the news that the excavation was about to begin,
But he personally brought some hieroglyphs containing ancient legends to Colonel Joanna Edwards, hoping to use them to stop the excavation work from starting."

"Ancient legend? Tell me what you know!!"

Everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued, and they all looked at the worker urgingly, "I've taken off my pants, why don't you continue?"

The latter did not keep the secret and immediately said, "It is said that those hieroglyphs originated from the ancestors of the Iwi people.

It records that deep within the core of Skull Island lies Camazotz, the King of the Abyss, who once attempted to control the world through darkness and storms.

"Once this Titan, full of hostility towards humanity, awakens again, it will unleash a darkness that devours the world. It will defeat all the Titans and then destroy humanity..."

"The King of the Abyss?!"

The workers around were obviously frightened by this terrifying name. They stopped their work and stood there at a loss.

Captain Berg obviously didn't want to see this situation, so he angrily yelled:

"Bullshit, don't be afraid, it's just a lie to scare children."

"These stupid natives just want to stop us from building. Before, they even regarded King Kong as the guardian of Skull Island!"

"But it turns out that a Skull Island without King Kong is a good Skull Island. That damn gorilla is the culprit that caused the ecological imbalance here."

He calmed down a little.

Captain Berg glanced at everyone one by one and continued earnestly:

"Guys, forget about the Iwi people and that old-fashioned legend, and think more about your families!"

"As long as we successfully complete the exploration mission as soon as possible, we can get a large commission."

"By then, your family will be able to enjoy a long period of happiness, no longer having to worry about where to buy discounted goods and expiring food..."

"On the contrary, if we lose this job, your family will probably end up on the streets, going hungry all day, and even being bullied by gang members and homeless people!!"

Sure enough, once the personal interests are put on everyone's head, faced with temptation, most people will choose to abandon their cheap morals and bottom line.

"The boss is right, everyone hurry up and move..."

"Without that stinky gorilla getting in the way, we'll definitely be able to complete the task before the deadline!"

Tens of minutes later.

With a dull bang, the entire nest shook violently in the explosion.

Wait until the smoke clears and the dust settles.

Captain Berg was the first to arrive at the blasting site. Looking at the dark tunnel below, he gave a thumbs-up to the workers behind him and praised them:
"Great! We've directly connected the two underground tunnels. This way, we can save a lot of digging time..."

But he hasn't yet given the order for the formal exploration.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble again. Then, an invisible pulse of concentrated sound waves swept out from the pitch-black underground tunnel.

Puff puff puff...!!!
A dozen workers, including Captain Berg, were blown into a bloody mess as if they were crushed by an invisible wall of air.

Those workers who were relatively far away and the staff who were staying at the entrance of the cave covered their ears with pain on their faces and died with blood coming out of all their orifices.

Boom boom boom...! ! !
The frequency of the ground shaking began to intensify.

It was as if something was about to break out from the ground.

In the sky, a large number of frightened vultures seemed to sense something and began to circle above the cave in pairs.

Soon, the ground exploded.

Amidst the flying sand and rocks, a huge creature rushed straight up into the sky from the ground and flapped its wings towards [Outpost No. 236] where the human settlement was located.

"Alert, alert... The base is under attack by an unknown bat-shaped Titan. Fighter pilots, please board your planes and engage immediately!!!"

A sharp and piercing alarm sounded throughout the base.

A dozen pilots trotted all the way to the hangar.

Soon, fighter jets painted with the "Imperial Organization" logo taxied off the runway and took off.

however.

The fighter squadron was quickly swallowed up by the dark mass of terrified vultures in the sky.

"Damn it, is that Camazotz? I didn't expect the prophecy of the Iwi tribe to be true..."

Seeing this, Colonel Joanna Edwards ordered without hesitation:

"Ground forces should try their best to contain these frightened vultures, while others should immediately carry out emergency evacuation."

Right now, there is no firepower in this base that can kill or seriously injure Camazotz.

So retreat is the wisest option.

"Colonel, what about the indigenous people of the Iwi tribe?"

A soldier came over and asked in a low voice.

Colonel Joanna Edwards gave the order without even turning her head:

"We can't care less. Take those natives who are willing to go with us, and let the others fend for themselves here!!!"

…………

……

A few hours later.

When the news reached the Imperial Organization Headquarters, Houston Brooks could hardly believe his ears.

Is the legend about Camazotz actually true?

It was precisely because of his wrong judgment that not only did he lose the lives of more than 236 people, but he also reduced [Skull Island Outpost No. ] to complete ruins.

According to preliminary calculations, the direct economic losses will be more than US$10 billion...

"It seems that I am really old, and it is time to hand over power to the next generation of young people."

Houston Brooks showed a sad look on his face and felt discouraged.

A female researcher with long brown hair softly consoled him, "Mr. Brooks, please don't blame yourself. After all, no one could have predicted this would happen."

"No, Irene, after discovering the legend about the Titans, I should have been more cautious about this excavation."

Houston Brooks shook his head helplessly. "However, I was distracted by King Kong being taken away, which led to this disaster..."

"It seems we have to put our plan of 'exploring the hollow underground world' on hold for now."

"I have made such a huge mistake that I am no longer qualified to lead the Imperial Organization.

It's time to replace it with someone with a calmer mind to lead this organization in the right direction and complete the great cause of protecting Titan and the Earth! !"

"Then your final choice is..."

The woman named Irene showed a hint of curiosity on her face. Who would the other party choose from among the many candidates?

Houston Brooks thought for a moment and gave his answer in a deep voice, "Serizawa Ichiro!!!"
