Chapter 379 Dagon

Chapter 379 Dagon

Bering Strait.

Above the sea, the wind was howling and the waves were undulating.

Under the sea, a Borei-class strategic nuclear submarine was quietly sneaking in the dark deep sea.

"Sonar signal?"

"everything is normal."

The commander and the radar man are talking.

"Okay, get ready to float."

"Copy that, sir."

The officers and soldiers were about to control the submarine to surface.

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom".

The entire submarine shook heavily.

The shock caused everyone in the boat to almost fall down.

"what's the situation?"

"Have we hit a rock?"

"Activate the active sonar system!"

"Sir, this is close to the Magnesium Country."

"Don't worry so much!"

"Boom!"

There was another deafening loud noise, accompanied by the harsh noise of "crunching" metal twisting. The submarine tilted slightly, as if it was being torn apart.

"The main ballast water tank is leaking inwards!"

"The sea valve fails, the vent valve fails!"

The red warning light in the cabin flashes continuously.

The fear reflected on everyone's faces.

"Sir, look, the towed sonar system has a signal. There is a huge object right above us, on the back of the submarine! That's the detection blind spot of the active sonar system."

"Oh my God, what is that?"

The submarine officers and soldiers exclaimed.

At this time, in the deep sea, a huge creature with a dark body and red eyes was lying on the back of the submarine. Its huge arms were wrapped around the body of the submarine. Its sharp beak-like mouthparts bit hard on the bridge of the submarine, and then turned its head to kill it. Torn to pieces, the outer shell composed of muffler tiles is falling apart, falling off and drifting away with the waves.

"Remove radio silence!"

"Send a distress signal immediately!"

"Ah, help!"

"boom--"

A violent explosion occurred at the tail of the submarine.

Yellow firelight illuminated the dark depths.

Reflecting the evil head of Supreme Muto.

And the huge black shadow cruising quickly behind him.

hiss! ?

If Supreme Muto noticed something, he quickly turned around.

"Roar--"

Godzilla roared and opened his mouth to bite!

Supreme Muto quickly turned around to fight.

…………

"Supreme Muto?"

Fu Qinghai repeated it.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what she said."

Evelin confirmed on the other end of the phone.

"Is there any other information?"

"Not yet. We are going to Siberia later. It is said that a Russian nuclear submarine was attacked by unknown creatures not long ago, near the Bering Strait. We suspect it was an earthquake beetle. Russian personnel discovered a nest in the tundra. , we are going there to investigate.”

"Okay, keep in touch."

Fu Qinghai hung up the phone.

Muto was originally the transliteration of M.U.T.O.

M.U.T.O. is the abbreviation for "Large Unidentified Terrestrial Organism".

Because it is the first original Titan to appear in the Monster Movie Universe and the first Titan discovered by the Monarch Organization, it is directly named after M.U.T.O.

Only later did the Emperor's organization learn that there was not only Muto, the Titan, on Earth.

"It's hard to be the king of monsters."

Fu Qinghai sighed.

King Kong, a family of giant apes, the old enemy of Godzilla.

Muto, a member of the Earthquake Beetle clan, Godzilla's old enemy.

Ghidorah, alien invasion creature, Godzilla's old enemy.

Throughout the entire monster movie universe, all titans that are somewhat famous are Godzilla's old enemies in their background settings. Mr. Brother looked around and found that there were enemies everywhere.

No wonder Godzilla is the only one left in the atomic dinosaur family.

Making too many enemies belongs to yes.

"Watch the news, Khan."

Xiao Fei said while surfing the Internet:

"Things can no longer be hidden."

"oh?"

Fu Qinghai ordered Qingming to search relevant web pages.

It turned out that the wreckage of the Russian nuclear submarine drifted along the ocean currents to Sapporo, Busan and Lushun. Coastal people in these places discovered the wreckage of the submarine, as well as huge tooth marks and claw marks on the wreckage fragments.

Suddenly, the entire Internet was buzzing with rumors and conspiracy theories, and the Imperial Organization was unable to completely suppress these heated discussions.

"I suddenly felt that it would be good to fully disclose it."

Fu Qinghai held his chin and said.

"why?"

Xiao Fei asked.

"As Aaron Brooks said, the world has the right to know the existence of Titans. They are the oldest life forms on the earth, and humans will have to face them sooner or later. The most critical point is..."

Fu Qinghai turned to look at Xiao Fei:

"The 'Pojun Golden Armor' needs a time to appear, preferably a moment that attracts everyone's attention. This will be beneficial to our negotiations with the local indigenous people."

"You're right, Khan."

…………

At this moment, on a military plane flying to Siberia.

"Dr. Emma, ​​public opinion on the Internet has exploded."

One of the attendants said:

"Previous nuclear power plants, current nuclear submarines, and nuclear facilities around the world have been attacked by giant unknown creatures. The headquarters is under great pressure, and all countries are holding accountable."

"So they're all counting on me?"

Emma Russell asked disdainfully.

"it's not true."

The staff said:

"Inspired by your efforts to find out the identity of the Titans through ancient prints and myths and legends, the headquarters has dispatched the most senior mythology experts from the Imperial Organization, Dr. Chen and Dr. Ling, to help you uncover clues and solve this problem together."

"The twins?"

"Yes."

"Okay, any other news?"

Emma Russell asked.

"The Japanese government has provided another batch of ancient prints, which are said to be from their royal collection. They are all rubbing versions. I hope they can be helpful to your research."

the staff member replied.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

…

The plane soon landed on the tundra plain.

A crude and improvised runway.

The north wind is howling and the snow is falling.

Everyone bundled up and rushed here non-stop from the hot and humid southern islands of Japan. Fortunately, the emperor organized sufficient logistics supplies and everyone put on new cold-proof and warm clothing, each one wrapped up like a rice dumpling.

Another huge pit lies in front of us.

It's almost identical to the one at the shrine.

"Doctor, please come with me."

Other members of the Emperor's organization set up a temporary camp around the pit very early, explored the inside of the pit in advance, and drew a three-dimensional perspective model.

Taking a simple elevator cage, everyone arrived at the bottom of the pit. Here stood huge egg-shaped objects several stories high. These giant eggs were crowded at the bottom of the pit. The thick "eggshells" had been broken, and sticky substances were overflowing around them. The thick foamy liquid was frozen into an ice sculpture, and there was nothing inside.

Tents have been set up around the dome.

There are also staff moving around busy.

"Dr. Emma, ​​please look at these prints."

A staff member came over with a slate.

"This is the collection of the Japanese royal family?"

Emma Russell looked at the print carefully and said.

"Yes, it was originally painted on a stone tablet. It was damaged by bombing during World War II. Fortunately, there are still rubbings."

The staff explained.

"The characters in the picture don't look Japanese."

Emma Russell looked at the people wearing white robes and black beards in the prints. Their appearance and clothing had some Greek and Middle Eastern styles, and asked.

"It's a Phoenician."

the staff member replied.

The print describes such a scene:

A giant creature that resembles Godzilla is fighting with Supreme Muto. The battle is extremely fierce. The ancient Phoenicians used many techniques to express this terrifying scene.

Then, "Godzilla" was injured.

Supreme Muto did not pursue the victory.

Instead, he suddenly broke away from the battle and ran away quickly.

Emma Russell frowned in thought.

Try to sort out the scene in the painting in your mind.

After being injured, "Godzilla" fell on the beach by the sea. Many Phoenicians gathered around, knelt down and worshiped the giant monster, and then cried bitterly.

Phoenician is written next to it.

English notes are also thoughtfully marked below:

"Dagon, slowly falling."

"As we gathered around the fallen Dagon and prayed for him... we saw that on his holy body, there were two engraved wounds, which were wounds after he fought with unclean things. We Hearing it, the deafening drum beat resounded through the sky, like the roar of a flood."

Emma Russell suddenly remembered.

That shrine also mentions the drumming of the "Thunder God".

"Then, as if in answer to our prayers."

"Dagon opened his eyes."

"Great goddess, we bow to the ground and kneel to thank you for your kindness. Your holy son is still standing in the world."

What follows is a long eulogy.

In other words, according to the description in the prints, "Dagon" was still alive as of that time.

"There are legends about dying gods in cultures all over the world. Greek civilization, Egyptian civilization, Hopi civilization...they are everywhere, but it just so happens that the evidence for these ancient stories is all around us."

A female voice sounded next to her.

"The Phoenician language is very difficult to translate, and I hope these notes will help you understand the engravings."

Another female voice said.

Two Chinese women wearing down jackets and white coats walked over with their hands in their pockets. They looked almost identical, the only difference was that one had long hair and the other had short hair.

"Dr. Chen, Dr. Ling, you are here."

The staff next to me said hello.

It turns out that the two of them are the top mythologists of the Imperial Organization.

Emma Russell thought to herself, and then stretched out her palm:

"Hello, Doctors, call me Emma."

"Hi, Dr. Emma."

The three women exchanged pleasantries.

"What's going on now?"

Emma Russell asked.

"Remember the No. 14 outpost we established in the southern Philippines? The three-dimensional scanning results of the deep pit in front of us are almost identical to the No. 14 outpost."

Dr. Chen handed over a tablet computer.

Emma Russell took a look.

The shape of the crater resembles the outline of a giant creature.

"Is this...Godzilla?"

Emma Russell asked uncertainly.

"Yes, strictly speaking, Godzilla's kin."

Dr. Ling nodded and said:

"These deep pits and caves are not naturally formed geological structures. They are actually the abdominal cavity fossils of Titans. They are crime scenes and chambers of death."

As he spoke, he kept switching three-dimensional models in his hands.

"There is also this kind of super giant egg at Outpost 14. The only difference is that the giant egg here has broken out of its shell, while the one over there seems to be still dormant."

"So, this is a nursery?"

Emma Russell asked.

"Yes, that's right."

Dr. Chen said solemnly.

"What this set of prints records is actually a confrontation between an atomic dinosaur and an earthquake beetle. This atomic dinosaur is most likely the historical prototype of the ancient Japanese god of thunder and the ancient Semitic god of the sea, Dagon."

Hearing this, Emma Russell thought of something and couldn't help but said to herself:

"The Phoenician stone tablets mention the sound of a huge drum coming from Dagon's body, and the Japanese shrine legend mentions that once the god of thunder stops beating the drums, the earthquake beetle will evolve into the earthquake insect god .”

"You're very perceptive, Dr. Emma."

Dr. Chen praised:

"Since you confirmed that the earthquake beetle is Muto, both of us have become very suspicious that the so-called earthquake insect god is Muto's maternal superspecies - Supreme Muto."

Earthquake Beetle = MUTO.

Earthquake Bug God = Supreme Muto.

She pointed her fingertips to somewhere on the print and said:

"Look here, the details of the picture clearly depict the two wounds on Dagon's body. I have reason to believe that these are the wounds left by the egg-laying organ of the earthquake beetle. It's not that Muto escaped without defeat, quite the contrary. , it has injected insect eggs into Dagon’s body, so it actively stopped fighting.”

"Muto needed to keep Dagon alive so that he could provide adequate nutrition for his descendants."

Emma Russell said with a look of surprise.

"It's like a parasite. By the way, I have the impression that certain types of bee insects also have this habit."

The staff next to him interjected.

"In the meantime, we've discovered something else."

Dr. Ling continued:

"Both the Philippines and Siberia, there are hundreds of giant eggs in the two deep pits. By analyzing the geological data in the two deep pits, it perfectly matches the time of several mass extinctions of species on the earth. Based on this, I boldly guessed …”

Dr. Ling expressed her conclusion:

"The earthquake beetle family is a kind of creature that is exclusively parasitic on the atomic dinosaur family. In ancient times, there were no nuclear power plants and nuclear submarines. Muto used the atomic furnace in the body of the atomic dinosaur family and the radioactive nuclear material flowing in the blood to nurture their offspring."

"The death of every atomic dinosaur is accompanied by the birth of hundreds of earthquake beetles. They survive by killing each other or mating between males and females to mutate. In short, through some unknown method, they evolve into Supreme Muto."

"After reshaping the body and evolving into a new form, Supreme Muto will completely eliminate the existing ecosystem according to his own needs. All invasive species will adopt this strategy, including us humans. When you have the ability to make the ecosystem obey you If you have the ability, why bother adapting to the ecology?”

"That is to say..."

A scientific researcher looked dull and authentic.

"That is to say, if we cannot stop Muto, then we humans will also face mass extinction of species."

Emma Russell's tone was very cold.

She looked at the twins in front of her and thought to herself:

Thank you, both Doctors.

Thank you for telling me...

Destroyer camp win conditions.

"Not to stop MUTO, but to stop Supreme MUTO."

Dr. Chen shook his head and sighed:

"In the deep pit on Kyushu Island, there were no giant eggs or egg shells left in it, and the shape of the pit was different from here, which means that it was not Muto's nursery. Then why did an earthquake beetle emerge from it? I am very suspicious. , where it pupates and transforms from nymph to adult."

Dr. Ling took over and added:

"It was born in Siberia, came to sleep on the southern islands of Japan, and eventually evolved into Supreme Muto... We have to prepare for the worst. If human weapons can't hurt Muto, then we may have to rely on that guy."

"Which guy?"

After standing nearby and listening for a long time, Miles Atherton finally found the opportunity to interrupt and asked quickly.

The two doctors Chen Ling looked at each other and said in unison:

"Godzilla!"

"Leave the fate of mankind to a titan that doesn't know whether it's friend or foe and can't communicate?"

Miles Atherton is incredibly authentic.

Evelin stood silently aside, silently listening to the conversations of several people. At the same time, at the beginning, the cell phone she had in her pocket quietly started recording.

…

"...Maybe we can only rely on that guy."

"Which guy?"

"Godzilla!"

In Honolulu, Hawaii, Space Marines and Tech-Priests huddled in a narrow and dark temporary stronghold, quietly listening to this mobile phone recording sent by Evelin.

There was no network or signal in Siberia. After the emperor organized everyone to leave there, Evelin immediately sent this recording to Fu Qinghai.

In the Monster Movie Universe, "Dagon" is a Titan and a member of the atomic dinosaur family.

In the Cthulhu universe, "Dagon" has another god, and that one is an old ruler.

Fu Qinghai found it quite interesting.

At the same time, he also sincerely sighed:

It's really good to have a spy inside.

Keep abreast of the latest developments in the Imperial organization.

"So, the plot has reached a critical point."

Xiao Fei's first three pairs of mechanical appendages kept rubbing, like a big red-robed fly, and he said excitedly:

"It's time to dispatch the 'Army-breaking Golden Armor'!"

"Yes, we must stop Supreme Muto."

Fu Qinghai nodded in agreement, and then said:

"I'm very curious. In the original work, can Godzilla defeat Supreme Muto? According to them, the earthquake beetle specializes in atomic dinosaurs for parasitic reproduction, so there should be some restraint."

"I don't know that anymore."

Xiao Fei shook his head and said:

"In the first part of "Godzilla", there were one female and one male ordinary MUTO, and there was no Supreme MUTO. However, I think there is a high probability that Godzilla will not be able to defeat the Supreme MUTO. After all, according to Dr. Chen and Dr. Ling , that is a titanic beast that can cause global species extinction and a rift in biological evolution."

Fu Qinghai stopped worrying about this issue and said:

"Pay close attention to the news from various places. I also keep in touch with Evelin. Once Supreme MUTO appears again, we will set off immediately. I hope it will not pick nuclear submarines this time, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get to the scene of the incident as soon as possible. "

The chapter leader first ordered the oil man:

"During this period, maintain Titan's combat readiness."

"Okay, Khan."

After the explanation was completed, the conversation changed.

"But before that..."

Fu Qinghai sneered:

"Let's finish off a certain woman first."
