Chapter 021: Wrong Direction
获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第021章 方向错误
Ushuaia!
This city is located at the southernmost tip of Argentina, 3,200 kilometers from the capital Buenos Aires, yet only 800 kilometers from Antarctica. Ushuaia is a small city with a population of about 70,000, but due to its unique geographical location, it is world-famous as the gateway to Antarctica.
Here is the city closest to Antarctica.
Departing from Ushuaia and crossing the Drake Passage, one can reach Antarctica in two days, making it an indispensable supply base for Antarctic scientists. Research vessel fleets from around the world have docked here.
But precisely because it is closest to Antarctica, it became the first stop for the three-headed dragon.
It was late at night, local time twelve o'clock.
The thunderstorm in the sky suddenly descended. As the city fell into slumber, a terrifying monster descended.
It came with storms and lightning, landing at the city's power plant.
In an instant, the three-headed dragon tore open the power station, and amid the screams of countless people in the plant, it devoured all the city's electricity.
The three-headed dragon's golden skin became even more dazzling and radiant, the golden dragon scales on its surface emitting a brilliant light, as if lightning were constantly leaping.
When the three-headed dragon consumed all the city's electricity, whether streetlights or other lights, they all went out in an instant.
The entire city seemed completely swallowed by darkness.
Some night owls looked up in surprise, not understanding what had happened.
Then, what awaited them was utter destruction.
After feasting, the three-headed dragon opened its mouth and unleashed a terrible gravity ray, golden lightning-like light sweeping across most of the city in an instant, blasting buildings and houses to pieces.
Countless people lost their lives in their sleep.
The sudden disaster shook countless people; no one could imagine that destruction would come so abruptly.
The golden lightning breath illuminated the night sky, and also showed those who had lost their homes just how terrifying the monster bringing destruction was.
At the port, ships were blown up one after another, flames soaring into the sky, lighting up the night and the scene. Countless people were consumed by the fire.
When people came to their senses, all they saw was despair.
Ushuaia, this quaint, beautiful small city built against the mountains and facing the sea, after being ground down by the three-headed dragon repeatedly, was finally reduced to ruins.
Half an hour later, the three-headed dragon flapped its wings again, soared into the stratosphere, carrying lightning and storms, and continued onward.
Along its path, there was nothing but destruction.
Within three hours of Ushuaia's destruction, the news spread across the world, and governments of various countries received similar reports.
A monster awakened from Antarctica had destroyed a city, descended upon the world with lightning and storms.
Announcing its own arrival.
Even more terrifying, this monster had successively destroyed several cities, leaving devastation in its wake, with no one able to stop its advance.
In just a few hours since the monster left Antarctica, it had destroyed at least three cities.
Although none were major cities with strong military forces, it was undeniable that the monster was extremely powerful. In this storm, tens of thousands of people had already perished.
Looking at this report, governments around the world were stunned.
Then, the news of the three-headed dragon destroying cities quickly spread across the internet, shocking the world.
Faced with the shocking photos of destroyed cities online, on this day, humanity finally understood that they were not the true masters of this planet.
And at that moment, the true master had fully awakened.
When Wang Bo saw these photos, it was already several hours later, and it happened to be eight o'clock in the evening in Tokyo.
Seeing the photos of the three-headed dragon destroying cities, Wang Bo recognized the monster's identity almost immediately.
It's you, Ghidorah!
Since Ghidorah had appeared, Wang Bo now understood what kind of world this was.
This was the world of Godzilla.
Wang Bo immediately had Friday collect information on the Monarch project, and soon discovered that this organization did exist and was operating in secret.
And the Monarch organization was secretly gathering data on the giant monsters.
What surprised Wang Bo even more was that besides collecting data on monsters, Monarch was also collecting data on Wang Bo—no, to be precise, on the Superman.
Not long ago, Wang Bo's battle with the Knifehead had shocked the world.
Naturally, the Monarch organization had also begun investigating data on the Knifehead through images and records. However, to their surprise, neither myths nor historical records contained any mention of the Knifehead.
It seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
This left the Monarch department baffled.
But even so, Monarch never suspected that the Knifehead was an outsider; instead, they suspected that the Knifehead's data might have been lost over time.
So these guys were diligently searching through various historical legends to reconstruct the Knifehead's data.
Wang Bo couldn't help but admire their intelligence.
To be honest, if he hadn't known that there were travelers from other worlds in this world, Wang Bo wouldn't have suspected the Knifehead either—after all, that was the limitation of humans in this world.
Even if they really couldn't find data on the Knifehead, these guys would probably speculate from the perspective of extraterrestrial life, rather than guessing it was a monster from another world.
Because that would be against common sense.
In addition, the Monarch people were also searching for information on the Superman. They believed there were two possible origins for the Superman.
First, the Superman was an ancient deity.
After all, since monsters existed in ancient times, it didn't seem impossible for deities to exist, especially since many myths contained legends of gods.
As for why an ancient deity would still be alive today, it was easy to explain: being a deity, immortality was not a difficult matter.
The second theory was that the Superman was actually a descendant of monsters.
They believed that the Superman's ancestors might have been servants who attended to monsters. After all, many monsters were regarded as deities in ancient times.
So it was only natural for people to serve deities.
Because the Superman's ancestors had served monsters, they gained the monsters' approval, drank monster blood, or for some other reason, acquired monster genes, underwent genetic mutation, and thus gained monster-like power.
After quietly reading through the top-secret documents of the Monarch organization, Wang Bo couldn't help but fall into thought.
Hmm...
What could he say? Human imagination was indeed extraordinary.
But undeniably, their guesses still had some factual basis, only the direction was completely wrong.
