Chapter 218: Striking Godzilla
Two gunboats quickly approached. These 20-meter-long steel behemoths looked insignificant compared to Godzilla’s towering figure, standing over 100 meters tall.
Godzilla paid no attention to the metal boxes circling nearby. As the undisputed ruler of Great Dawn Planet for countless millennia, it had every reason to disdain lesser beings.
It continued moving toward the explosion site, entirely focused on its goal.
This disregard gave the two gunboats a chance to circle it at a distance of two or three kilometers, meticulously observing the colossal creature.
“Incredible,” Dr. Lute murmured in awe once again. “When do we take action?”
“Once it’s farther from the shore. With our current equipment, we can’t do much to it in the water,” Major Camis replied.
Lute nodded in agreement. Their manpower was limited, and given the beast’s speed and the ocean’s vast depths, if it retreated into the sea after being attacked, they would have little recourse.
If the creature decided to stay submerged, the mission would end in one of two undesirable outcomes: either they returned home with mere data instead of the creature itself, or they waited decades for reinforcements.
Both scenarios were unacceptable. Bringing back a living specimen was exponentially more valuable than bringing back reports. And waiting for reinforcements could take so long that by the time they returned, their loved ones on their homeworld might have already passed away.
