Chapter 40: The Myth Appears
The colossal blue chakra giant loomed over the battlefield like a lighthouse piercing through the darkness, radiating an awe-inspiring presence. It was an overwhelming sight, easily visible from miles away.
The emergence of the giant immediately captivated the world's attention. Soon, media helicopters flocked to the skies above Manila's beach, rushing to capture the battle between Kaiju and Susanoo.
"Hello, everyone! This is Globo TV, reporting live from Manila, Philippines!" The reporter's voice crackled through the broadcast, trembling with excitement. "As you can see, while the Kaiju rampages through the city, a massive blue giant has appeared out of nowhere! That's right—this behemoth is more than twice the size of the Kaiju! And right now, we're witnessing a scene straight out of mythology—the giant is pummeling the Kaiju!"
The reporter, overwhelmed by the spectacle, rambled incoherently, unable to contain his disbelief. The broadcast was rushed and the video quality was poor, but none of that mattered. The ratings exploded. People around the world watched in astonishment as the battle of titans unfolded live on their screens.
Even before the media helicopters arrived, satellites from various nations had already locked onto the battlefield. Governments had braced for the possibility of a nuclear detonation—yet, instead of witnessing another catastrophic explosion, they saw the giant appear.
The unexpected sight left them stunned. Relief mingled with dread. On one hand, they were grateful for the intervention, as it prevented the need for a nuclear strike. On the other, they were terrified—the mythical giant was clearly far more powerful than the Kaiju. It was a force beyond their comprehension.
First came the Kaiju invasion, and now a mythical giant had emerged. Anxiety swept through the world. Many feared they were witnessing the beginning of a doomsday scenario.
In conference rooms across the globe, government officials exchanged tense glances. Suspicion immediately fell on Japan. The towering blue figure bore a striking resemblance to the Crow Tengu from Japanese mythology.
The Japanese representative, however, was visibly uncomfortable. "We have no connection to this giant," he declared, his voice firm but defensive. "Yes, the image resembles the Crow Tengu, but it's purely coincidental. If this were a Japanese strategic weapon, do you honestly think we would tolerate America's attitude?"
The room fell silent. The statement was blunt, but it left no room for debate. The other nations quickly realized the giant had no ties to Japan.
Now the focus shifted—how could they communicate with this mysterious being? Was it an alien? A god? No one knew. Yet, the sheer power it displayed demanded caution.
