Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 379 Dagon
Bering Strait.

On the surface of the sea, the wind howled and the waves heaved.

Under the surface of the sea, a Beifeng God-class strategic nuclear submarine was quietly diving in the dark deep sea.

"Sonar signal?"

"everything is normal."

The commander and the radar soldier are talking.

"Okay, get ready to float."

"Received, sir."

The officers and soldiers were about to control the submarine to float up.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

The entire submarine shook heavily.

The shock made everyone in the boat almost fall.

"what's the situation?"

"Have we hit the rocks?"

"Activate the active sonar system!"

"Sir, this place is close to the country of Magnesium."

"Don't worry about it so much!"

"Boom!"

There was another deafening bang, accompanied by the harsh noise of "creaking" metal twisting, the submarine was slightly skewed, as if it was being torn apart.

"The main ballast tank is leaking inward!"

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

The red warning lights in the cabin flashed continuously.

Reflected on everyone's face, there is panic.

"Sir, look quickly, the towed sonar system has a signal, and there is a huge object above us, the back of the submarine! That is the blind spot of the active sonar system."

"My God, what is that?"

The submarine officers and soldiers exclaimed.

At this time, in the deep sea, a huge monster covered in pitch black and red eyes was lying on the back of the submarine, its huge arms wrapped around the hull of the submarine, its sharp beak-like mouthparts bit the bridge of the submarine fiercely, and then turned its head and pulled it away. Torn apart, the shell composed of anechoic tiles is falling apart, falling off one after another and drifting away with the waves.

"Break the radio silence!"

"Send a distress signal immediately!"

"Ah, help!"

"boom--"

A violent explosion occurred in the stern of the submarine.

Yellow flames lit up the dark deep sea.

Reflects the evil head of Supreme Muto.

And the huge black shadow cruising fast behind.

hiss! ?

If Supreme Muto sensed something, he quickly turned around.

"Roar--"

Godzilla roared and opened his mouth to bite!

Supreme Muto hastily turned to face him.

…………

"Supreme Muto?"

Fu Qinghai repeated it.

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

On the other end of the phone, Evelyn affirmed.

"Is there any other information?"

"Not yet. We will go to Siberia later. It is said that a Russian nuclear submarine was attacked by unknown creatures not long ago. It is near the Bering Strait. We suspect that it was caused by earthquake beetles. Russian personnel found a nest in the tundra , we're going to investigate there."

"Okay, keep in touch."

Fu Qinghai hung up the phone.

MUTO was originally a transliteration of MUTO.

MUTO is an acronym for "Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism".

Because it is the first original titan to appear in the monster movie universe and the first titan discovered by the emperor organization, it is directly named MUTO.

It was not until later that the Emperor Organization found out that Muto was not the only titan on Earth.

"It's not easy to be the king of monsters."

Fu Qinghai sighed.

King Kong, a family of great apes, Godzilla's old enemy.

Muto, a family of earthquake beetles, Godzilla's old enemy.

Ghidorah, alien invasion creature, Godzilla's nemesis.

Throughout the entire monster movie universe, any famous titan is Godzilla's old enemy in the background setting.Mr. Brother looked around and found that everyone was an enemy.

No wonder Godzilla is the only one left of the family of atomic dinosaurs.

Making too many enemies belongs to yes.

"Look at the news, Khan."

Xiao Fei said while surfing the Internet:
"Things can't be hidden."

"Oh?"

Fu Qinghai ordered Qingming to retrieve relevant webpages.

It turned out that the wreckage of the Russian nuclear submarine drifted along the ocean currents all the way to Sapporo, Busan, and Lushun. The coastal people in these places found the wreckage of the submarine and the huge tooth and paw prints on the debris.

All of a sudden, the entire Internet was full of discussions, and various rumors and conspiracy theories poured in. The Emperor Organization could not completely suppress these heated discussions.

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

Fu Qinghai raised 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 this planet. Humans will have to face them sooner or later. The most critical point is..."

Fu Qinghai turned to look at Xiao Fei:
"'Broken Army Golden Armor' needs an opportunity to appear, preferably a moment that attracts everyone's attention, which will be beneficial to our negotiations with the local aborigines."

"You are right, Khan."

…………

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

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

An entourage said:
"The previous nuclear power plant, the current nuclear submarine, and nuclear facilities all over the world have been attacked by giant unknown creatures. There is a lot of pressure on the headquarters, and all countries are holding themselves accountable."

"So they're all counting on me alone?"

Emma Russell asked disdainfully.

"it's not true."

The staff said:

"Inspired by your discovery of the identity of the Titan through ancient engravings and myths and legends, the headquarters dispatched the most senior mythology experts of the Emperor Organization, Dr. Chen and Dr. Ling, to assist you in uncovering clues and solve this problem together."

"The twins?"

"Yes."

"Okay, what else is there?"

Emma Russell asked.

"The Japanese government has provided another batch of ancient engravings, which are said to be in their royal collection. They are all rubbing versions. I hope it will be helpful for your research."

the staff replied.

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

……

The plane quickly landed on the tundra plain.

A crude runway that was temporarily sorted out.

The north wind howled and the snow fell.

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

Another huge pit lay before him.

Almost identical to the one at the shrine.

"Doctor, please follow me."

Other members of the emperor organization set up a temporary camp around the deep pit early on, and detected the inside of the deep pit in advance, and drew a three-dimensional perspective model.

Taking a simple lift cage, everyone came to the bottom of the deep pit, where there stood huge egg-shaped objects as high as several floors. These giant eggs were crowded at the bottom of the deep pit. The thick foamy liquid was frozen into ice sculptures, and there was nothing inside.

Tents have been pitched around the dome.

There are also staff busy walking around.

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

A worker came over with a slate.

"Is this the collection of the Japanese royal family?"

Emma Russell looked at the engraving carefully and said.

"Yes, it was originally painted on a stone tablet. It was destroyed by bombing during World War II. Fortunately, there is a rubbing copy."

The staff explained.

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

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

"It's a Phoenician."

the staff replied.

The engraving describes such a scene:
A giant creature resembling Godzilla is fighting with Supreme Muto. The battle is extremely fierce. The ancient Phoenicians used many techniques to express this horrible scene.

Then, "Godzilla" got hurt.

Supreme Muto did not pursue the victory.

Instead, he suddenly left the battle and fled quickly.

Emma Russell frowned in thought.

Try to visualize the scene in your mind.

The wounded "Godzilla" fell on the beach by the sea, and many Phoenicians gathered around, knelt down and worshiped the behemoth, and then wept bitterly.

Written in Phoenician next to it.

The English notes are also intimately marked below:

"Dagon, slowly fell down."

"When we gathered around the fallen Dagon and prayed for him...we saw that on his holy body, there were two bone-cutting wounds. These were the wounds after he fought against unclean things. We Heard, the deafening drums resounded through the sky, like the roar of a flood when it hits."

Emma Russell suddenly remembered.

That shrine also mentions the drumming of "Thor".

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

"Dagon opened his eyes."

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

Followed by a long paragraph of praise.

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

"In cultures all over the world, there are legends about dying gods. Greek civilization, Egyptian civilization, Hopi civilization...it's everywhere, but it just so happens that the evidence to prove these ancient stories is all around us."

A female voice sounded next to her.

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

Another female voice said.

Two Chinese women in down jackets and white coats walked over with their hands in their pockets. The two of them looked almost identical, the only difference being 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 turned out that the two were the number one mythologists of the Emperor Organization.

Emma Russell thought to herself, then stretched out her palm:
"Hello, two doctors, call me Emma."

"Hello, Dr. Emma."

The three women exchanged a few pleasantries.

"What's the situation now?"

Emma Russell asked.

"Remember the No. 14 outpost we established in the southern Philippines? The 14D scanning results of the deep pit in front of us are almost exactly the same as the No. [-] outpost."

Dr. Chen handed over a tablet computer.

Emma Russell took a look.

The shape of the pothole is much like 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 giant titans. They are crime scenes and death chambers."

As he spoke, he kept switching the [-]D models in his hands.

"At the No. 14 outpost, there is also this kind of super giant egg. The only difference is that the giant egg here has broken out of its shell, while the one on the other side seems to be still dormant."

"So it's a nursery?"

Emma Russell asked.

"Yes, that's right."

Dr. Chen said solemnly.

"What this group of engravings records is actually the confrontation between an atomic dinosaur and an earthquake beetle. This atomic dinosaur is likely to be the historical prototype of the ancient Japanese god of thunder and the ancient Semitic sea god Dagon."

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

"In the Phoenician steles, it is mentioned that the sound of a huge drum came from the body of Dagon, and in the legend of the Japanese shrine, it is mentioned that once the god of thunder stops beating the drum, the earthquake beetle will evolve into the earthquake insect god. .”

"You are sharp, Dr. Emma."

Dr. Chen praised:

"Ever since you confirmed that the Earthquake Beetle is Muto, the two of us have been very skeptical that the so-called Earthquake Beetle God is Muto's matriarchal superspecies—Supreme Muto."

Earthquake Beetle = Muto.

Earthquake God = Supreme Muto.

Her fingertip pointed somewhere in the engraving and said:

"Look here, the two wounds on Dagon's body are clearly depicted in the details of the picture. I have reason to believe that these are the wounds left by the earthquake beetle's egg-laying organ. It's not that Muto fled in defeat, but on the contrary. , it has already injected eggs into Dagon's body, so it took the initiative to stop fighting."

"Muto needs to keep Dagon alive so that he can provide enough nutrition for his offspring."

Emma Russell said with a dazed expression.

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

The staff next to him interjected.

"In the meantime, we have other discoveries."

Dr. Ling went on to say:
"Whether in the Philippines or 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 on the earth. Based on this, I boldly guess ..."

Dr. Ling expressed her own conclusion:

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

"The death of each atomic dinosaur is accompanied by the birth of hundreds of earthquake beetles. They mutate through cannibalism, survival of the fittest, or mating between males and females. 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 wipe out 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 ecology obey yourself The ability, why bother to adapt to the ecology?"

"That is to say..."

A scientific researcher has a dull and authentic face.

"In other words, if we can't stop Muto, then we humans will also face mass extinction."

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...

Win condition for the Destroyer faction.

"Not to stop Muto, but to stop the Supreme Muto."

Dr. Chen shook his head and sighed:

"In the deep pit on Kyushu Island, there are no giant eggs or egg shells left in it, and the shape of the deep pit is different from here, which means that it is not Muto's nursery, so why did an earthquake beetle emerge from it? I doubt it , where it pupates, transforms from a nymph into an adult."

Dr. Ling took over the conversation and added:

"It was born in Siberia, came to sleep in 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 only be able to rely on that guy."

"Which guy?"

After standing aside and listening for a long time, Miles Atherton finally found a chance to interject and asked quickly.

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

"Godzilla!"

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

Miles Atherton is unbelievably authentic.

Evelyn, who stood silently by the side, quietly listened to the conversations of several people without saying a word. At the same time, at the beginning, the mobile phone in her pocket had already quietly turned on the recording.

……

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

"Which guy?"

"Godzilla!"

In Honolulu, Hawaii, space fighters and technical priests huddled together in a narrow and dark temporary base, quietly listening to this mobile phone recording sent by Evelyn.

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

In the Monster Cinematic Universe, Dagon is a titan belonging to the family of atomic dinosaurs.

In the Cthulhu universe, "Dagon" has another god, who is an old ruler.

Fu Qinghai found it quite interesting.

At the same time, he also sincerely sighed:
It would be really nice to have a spy inside.

Keep abreast of the latest developments in the Imperial Organization.

"In this way, the plot has reached a critical point."

The three pairs of mechanical appendages in front of Xiao Fei kept rubbing, like a big fly in a red robe, and said excitedly:
"It's time to dispatch the 'Breaking Army Golden Armor'!"

"Yes, we must stop Supreme Muto."

Fu Qinghai nodded in agreement, and then said:

"I'm very curious. In the original book, can Godzilla defeat Supreme Muto? According to them, the earthquake beetle only picks 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 is a female and a male ordinary Muto, and there is no Supreme Muto. However, I think Godzilla has a high probability of defeating the Supreme Muto, after all, according to Dr. Chen and Dr. Ling , that is a titan that can cause global species extinction and biological evolution faults."

Fu Qinghai didn't dwell on this question any longer, and said:

"Pay close attention to the news from all over the world. I also keep in touch with Evelyn. Once Supreme Muto appears again, we will set off immediately. I hope that this time it will not pick nuclear submarines to attack, otherwise it will be difficult for us to rush to the scene of the incident as soon as possible. "

The battle group leader first ordered the oil guy:

"During this time, maintain the Titan's combat readiness."

"Yes, Khan."

After the explanation, the topic changed.

"But before that..."

Fu Qinghai sneered and said:

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