Chapter 277 How Can We Stand Still?

There is a portal to the Earth's core right in the Antarctic glacier.

"The previous battle had some impact on that area, but it doesn't affect its use. If you want to go to the inner world, that's the best option."

Inside the monitoring room of the Skull Island outpost, Dr. Vivian explained to everyone.

Over several decades, Monarchy has acquired information on several entrances to the Earth's core, most of which are located in the ocean. The Antarctic glacial entrance is one of the few land-based entrances.

"So we just came out of Antarctica, and now we're going back to Antarctica?" Jared asked, raising an eyebrow.

It was really cold there, and he and Old De had just lost two fighter jets there, so they had some unpleasant memories.

“Every entrance to the Earth’s core is not far from the habitat of the Titans. We just dealt with Ghidorah in Antarctica, so going directly there will save us a lot of unnecessary trouble,” Serizawa Ichiro explained.

"Can King Kong swim from here to Antarctica?" Old De asked, arms crossed. "Or are we going to transport it there by ship or plane?"

“I plan to use a transport ship to transport Kongo to Antarctica,” said Ichiro Serizawa.

It's not realistic to expect King Kong to swim there on his own; he'd probably be exhausted by the time he got halfway there.

"There's one more question."

"How are you going to deal with Godzilla?" Eileen asked seriously, looking at the people in the monitoring room.

She studied King Kong on Skull Island for five years, knew everything about the island, and was aware of the hatred between the King Kong clan and the Atomic Dinosaur clan.

Several thousand years ago, a war broke out between these two Titan races. Both races suffered devastating losses in the war, with large numbers of Gigantopithecus and Atomic Dinosaurs dying. Both races gradually declined, and the hatred from this war has continued to this day over the long course of time.

Although King Kong is younger and has not experienced war, Godzilla existed hundreds of millions of years ago.

Godzilla, as the most powerful being of the atomic dinosaurs, has survived every extinction event on Earth, and each time it has successfully fulfilled its instinctive duty as a guardian of nature, while also remembering the wars that took place in the distant past.

Skull Island's unique magnetic field can shield Godzilla's senses, allowing Kong on Skull Island to grow naturally. However, once Kong leaves Skull Island, there is a very high probability that Godzilla will come looking for him. The two races, who have a long history of enmity, will inevitably fight when they meet.

Moreover, it is highly likely that it will be a one-sided beating by Godzilla.

“No need to solve it, I believe it will give me face,” Xia Shu said to him.

"I fought with it, and we even took down King Ghidorah together. We were friends."

After all, they were comrades-in-arms who had fought together, and Natsuki believed that his pride was still quite valuable, and he should be able to smooth things over.

"You can communicate with Godzilla?" Eileen asked curiously.

This alien has a truly comprehensive range of abilities.

"We've talked, but that guy isn't really willing to talk to me," Xia Shu said with a hint of helplessness.

In Mothra's absence, Godzilla is incredibly aloof and refuses to acknowledge anyone.

Natsuki initially thought that Godzilla didn't know how to respect the elderly, but after learning from Monarch's internal information that this guy was over a hundred million years old, she realized that Godzilla was the real old man, having lived for a truly long time.

"...Are you sure it will give you face?" Eileen was somewhat doubtful after hearing his words.

"To put it another way, I hope it will be more sensible," Xia Shu said.

Anyway, we've already beaten up the old dinosaur once before. If it still won't listen to reason this time, then... beating it once is the same as beating it twice.

“Sometimes the laws of nature are most useful to the Titans.” Upon receiving this answer, Eileen realized that among the Titans, might makes right.

Even the indomitable King Kong eventually made peace with this guy.

She realized that her perspective was still too narrow.

......

At Jiya's urging, Kongo boarded the transport ship. The massive 100,000-ton transport ship sank quite a bit into the sea when Kongo sat down on it.

The Monarchy members inside the ship all felt a jolt.

"By the way, how's that terrorist organization doing?" Natsuki stood on the deck, watching Kongo talking to Jiya from afar, enjoying the sea breeze, and asked Serizawa Ichiro beside her.

The terrorist organization that awakened Rodan in Mexico and King Ghidorah in Antarctica, whose leader has not yet been captured, will be in serious trouble if they awaken some more Titans.

“Various countries are making great efforts to track him down.”

"There shouldn't be any major moves in the short term," said Ichiro Serizawa.

This group of terrorists awakened two terrifying behemoths, nearly causing the destruction of a Mexican city. They are now wanted by multiple countries, as no one wants their country's behemoths to be awakened, as the resulting losses would be enormous.

The various Titan outposts of the Monarchy organization have strengthened their defenses, and with the ongoing pursuit from multiple sides, they have no choice but to remain inactive for a while.

"It's not easy for you to sit in this position," Natsuki said with emotion, looking at Serizawa Ichiro, whose hair was starting to turn gray.

Ichiro Serizawa, who hopes that humanity can coexist with the Titans, faces pressure from multiple countries to realize his ideal. The US military even wants to directly absorb Monarch into the Department of Defense. A group of eco-terrorists travel around the world trying to awaken the Titans to destroy humanity. Meanwhile, a company called APEX is also stirring up trouble and plotting something.

Caught between numerous forces, Serizawa Ichiro could only move forward under pressure, going wherever the road took him.

“Someone has to step up; we can’t stay stagnant forever.” Serizawa Ichiro forced a smile upon hearing this, saying with a touch of melancholy, “Besides, I’ve long been prepared to dedicate myself to this cause, and I hope to live a meaningful life.”

He dared to personally rush into the dangerous vortex and stand on the front line when the battle broke out because he was prepared to die.

However... the appearance of the Giant of Light dispelled the death that should have befallen him.

"I won't stand by and watch any of you die," Natsuki promised, looking at him.

“I’m honored,” Serizawa Ichiro said with a smile.

......

The transport ship's route deliberately avoided the sea areas where Godzilla had appeared.

But after they had sailed some distance...

"Radar indicates that a Titan is rapidly approaching us!"

"It's...Godzilla!" The crew in the captain's cabin quickly reported, looking at the radar image.

Chapter 278 Give Me Some Face

"Roar—!!"

"Roar—!!"

Godzilla's dorsal fin had already appeared on the distant sea surface. Kong, on the transport ship's deck, instantly sensed the approaching danger. Kong's genes were reminding it that the approaching creature was its enemy.

King Kong roared and pounded his chest with both hands, displaying his majesty as the king of Skull Island.

"Godzilla is still two kilometers away from us."

"Damn it, King Kong is going berserk too!" The crew in the captain's cabin panicked as they watched the two Titan beasts about to clash.

They didn't know who would win if King Kong and Godzilla fought; all they knew was that if those two started fighting, everyone on their ship would suffer.

They originally wanted to put Kongo in shackles, but Serizawa Ichiro rejected their proposal.

"Relax, the coolest guy on Skull Island."

“I’m here.” Natsuki used her telekinesis to save a Monarch member who was about to fall into the sea, and then walked toward Kongo, who was preparing to defend against the enemy, amidst the violent shaking of the deck, and said in a comforting tone.

When King Kong heard Xia Shu's voice, he slowed down his chest-pounding movements, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

It knew that Natsuki was a good person and that this guy wanted to help it, but... it didn't want to be the animal that was protected in the back. It was King Kong, the last individual of the giant primates on the surface.

After losing all its loved ones, it realized that if it wanted to survive in this world, it could only rely on itself. It was this belief that enabled it to fight its way out of the giant beasts on Skull Island and become the most powerful being.

It can live peacefully without fighting other creatures, but it cannot accept relying on others for protection while hiding behind them when enemies attack. It must at least fight the enemy first.

'I don't want you to get hurt.' Jia understood King Kong's thoughts and gestured in sign language.

King Kong was her most important friend.

"Roar!" King Kong nodded to Jia, indicating that he understood Jia's concerns, but then looked up at the dorsal fin that was getting closer and closer to the ship and let out a roar.

The invincible will never yield!

"As expected, they're still young." Xia Shu looked at the vigorous and energetic Jin Gang and smiled helplessly.

Turn around and look in the direction Godzilla swam from.

"Don't attack, none of you need to get involved." He pressed the earpiece to his ear and spoke to the Monarch crew members over the communication channel.

"but......"

"Don't worry, the battle won't affect any of you. I'll take responsibility for any unexpected situations that arise," Xia Shu said to the ship's captain in an unquestionable tone.

"Let's trust Mr. Natsuki's judgment," Serizawa Ichiro added.

"...Alright." The captain ultimately obeyed the order.

As Godzilla drew closer and closer.

Serizawa Ichiro glanced at Gia standing next to Kong, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. He walked to the edge of the deck and, with a nervous heart, stood where he had first come into contact with Godzilla.

“Godzilla…” he whispered Godzilla’s name.

"Thump—!!"

The sea surface was pushed up, and a large spray of water shot straight into the sky. A huge creature emerged halfway out of the water, its fierce eyes immediately locking onto King Kong on the other side of the deck.

Memories from ancient times kept flashing through its mind.

The Atomic Dinosaurs and the King Kong race fought a fierce war before the Common Era, and the Atomic Dinosaurs themselves also have a long-standing hatred for a King Kong from ancient times.

It once lived on an island on the surface of the earth, and was even worshipped as a god by the ancient humans on the island, but later... a powerful kingfisher drove it out of the island, a memory it could never forget.

As time passed and it grew stronger, it returned to the island, only to find that the ancient Vajra had long since turned to bones by the passage of time. It could no longer find its target for revenge, and its anger could only be buried deep in its heart.

But now, it has found a King Kong in the surface world, and this... is just the right time to settle both racial hatred and personal grudges!

"Hiss—!!" Godzilla opened its blood-red maw and roared at King Kong.

At that moment, despite the howling wind pressure, Serizawa Ichiro quickly looked up at Godzilla and said, "No, King Kong means no harm."

"We just want to go to the inner world to find a girl's people."

Jia is able to communicate with King Kong, and he hopes he can communicate with Godzilla as well.

Having lived for decades studying Godzilla, he hoped to have some place in Godzilla's heart as well.
