Chapter 022: Shattered

Wang Bo silently closed the files on "Superman" within the Monarch organization. These research materials, completely misguided in direction, were of no use to him personally.

If he had to say what use they were, perhaps... for amusement?

"Friday, where is Ghidorah now?" Wang Bo asked. Compared to Monarch's brains, he was more concerned about the monster from outer space.

Miss Friday had long since infiltrated the network systems of various countries, including satellites, constantly monitoring Ghidorah's movements. She answered Wang Bo's question immediately.

"Currently, Ghidorah is still flying in the stratosphere," Miss Friday said, tracking Ghidorah's whereabouts via satellite.

"What about the actions of other countries?" Wang Bo asked again.

"Governments have convened emergency meetings, initiated emergency mobilization, and dispatched air forces. They are expected to engage Ghidorah head-on in three hours."

Miss Friday was as reliable as ever.

Wang Bo couldn't help stroking his chin and asked, "Do you think humanity will win this war?"

"It's difficult," Miss Friday said. "Based on Ghidorah's previous destruction of cities, its strength is extraordinary. With current human capabilities, it will be hard to eliminate this monster."

"So that means it's our turn to step in, right?" Wang Bo didn't want to fight, but if Ghidorah continued its rampage, more people would suffer and die.

Miss Friday said, "I don't recommend you intervene, sir."

"Why?" Wang Bo was taken aback.

"Sir, you are ultimately a passerby in this world. One day, you will leave this world."

"That's true," Wang Bo nodded.

"But through Monarch, I've discovered that there are many monsters hidden in this world. They were once the rulers of Earth. Even if you can help humanity through this crisis, what about the next time, and the time after that?"

Miss Friday said coldly, "Sir, humanity needs to grow on its own. You are not their babysitter; you cannot protect them forever."

"You mean, let humans fight the monsters?"

"Yes," Miss Friday gave her opinion.

Wang Bo scratched his hair. In the world of Godzilla, monsters seemed to be the protagonists, while humans were merely supporting characters on the stage, seemingly useless except for causing trouble.

For example, when Godzilla and Ghidorah fought, humans used a secret weapon to eliminate both monsters at once.

The Oxygen Destroyer... a weapon created by the military to kill monsters, capable of depleting oxygen within a certain area, suffocating the monsters to death.

But the problem was, they miscalculated one thing.

Ghidorah was not an Earth creature but an alien lifeform that crossed the universe to Earth. Ghidorah had traveled through vacuum, so oxygen was irrelevant to it.

Thus, Ghidorah survived the Oxygen Destroyer's attack.

However, Godzilla was an ancient Earth creature; oxygen was essential for it. As a result, after being hit by an Oxygen Destroyer bomb, Godzilla was severely wounded.

If not for Dr. Serizawa from Monarch going deep into Godzilla's lair and delivering a nuclear bomb.

Godzilla would likely have died.

So, in the world of Godzilla, human performance was truly unimpressive. Apart from holding things back, they didn't seem to have any particularly outstanding achievements.

Only Dr. Serizawa's selfless sacrifice made Wang Bo feel that humanity was worthy of the name.

A worm, yet also a dragon.

"What you say is indeed reasonable, Friday, but this time, I'm still going to intervene." Wang Bo quickly made up his mind, not to play babysitter for humanity, but for another purpose.

He remembered that in the plot, Ghidorah was awakened by humans, but the problem was that now, the plot shouldn't have reached Ghidorah's appearance yet.

It was 2014. Godzilla's archenemy, the Unidentified Terrestrial Life Form, aka the MUTO, had not yet appeared, and Godzilla had not officially entered the public eye.

The two had not yet fought a earth-shattering battle in San Francisco.

So humanity's understanding of monsters was limited to myths and legends.

Of course, Wang Bo's recent battle with the Male MUTO in Tokyo Bay had served as a reminder to the world that monsters existed, but humanity still thought it was just an anomaly.

Regardless of timeline or plot, Ghidorah should have been sealed in the Antarctic ice.

But now, Ghidorah had awakened, and not only that, it had unhesitatingly destroyed several cities and absorbed vast amounts of electricity, completely deviating from the plot's development.

Wang Bo suspected this might be related to a time traveler.

However, it could also be a butterfly effect triggered by his own battle with the Male MUTO.

Yet after much thought, Wang Bo felt this was unlikely, but regardless, he had to go and confirm whether there was a connection between Ghidorah and the time traveler.

Friday sighed upon hearing Wang Bo insist on intervening. "I understand, Master. There are indeed many voices online calling for you to eliminate the monster and comfort the world."

"Good, then let's set off now."

Wang Bo, impatient, had Friday lock onto Ghidorah's location, then teleported to the stratosphere thousands of meters above.

"Master, Ghidorah is ahead." Friday, sitting on Wang Bo's shoulder, alerted him.

Wang Bo flew through the sky, opening his eyes to look ahead. Far off, tens of thousands of meters away, a swirling thunderstorm was hurtling toward him at an astonishing speed.

In just a few blinks, the thunderstorm closed in on Wang Bo.

Wang Bo couldn't help but smile. Ghidorah was an alien monster, capable of spewing lightning, firing gravity beams, and possessing super-fast regeneration.

It was by no means an ordinary enemy.

Even Wang Bo, at his current level, had to go all out.

So he took a deep breath, enhancing his Ripple, magic, and Cosmo, his power multiplying geometrically. In an instant, Wang Bo elevated his state to its peak.

Bang!

In that instant, Wang Bo tore through the air, breaking the sound barrier, and shot toward Ghidorah at over a dozen times the speed of sound.

At that moment, the air was split into a long vacuum trail by Wang Bo.

White sonic boom clouds spread layer by layer. Wang Bo decided to pierce straight through Ghidorah's body at maximum speed.

In less than a hundredth of a second, Wang Bo burst into the thunderstorm. The storm swirling around Ghidorah was torn apart by Wang Bo.

Ghidorah let out a roar!

Bang!

Then Wang Bo felt as if he had slammed into something, and his once-hard body shattered into pieces in an instant.
