Chapter 267: The Pursuit
“That’s how it should be. Does it think that staying in the water will keep us from attacking it?”
“Haha, it probably thinks our gunboat firepower is still stuck fifty years in the past.”
“I highly doubt its intelligence is capable of contemplating anything that complex.”
“Let’s show this big dumb beast the power of technology.”
A few minutes later, all the gunboats aimed and charged their weapons. Dozens of thick energy beams shot toward Godzilla, surrounding it completely. These beams, far more powerful than those from decades ago, inflicted unimaginable damage in a single salvo.
Godzilla’s agonized wails echoed across the sky. A significant portion of its head was blown off, three large holes were torn through its neck, its right arm was left hanging by a thread of flesh, and multiple enormous wounds—nearly a meter wide and deep—gouged its torso and legs.
On land, where Godzilla moved sluggishly, it was nothing more than a massive target. As long as their weapons could penetrate its defenses, killing it was only a matter of time.
Fortunately for Godzilla, it appeared to have some resistance to this kind of energy, sparing it from instant death. But even if it survived, it likely wouldn’t live for long.
Perhaps due to part of its skull being blown open, Godzilla seemed to have “seen the light” physically. It reacted swiftly, refraining from unleashing its thermonuclear breath and instead turning and heading back toward the sea.
