───「 GODZILLA POV 」───
As light penetrated the earth, mountain ranges formed.
The underground sun rose, lifting layers of soil and propelling millions of tons of earth into the higher atmosphere and beyond into space. The soil, reaching a depth of a hundred meters, was blasted away. Godzilla's body welcomed the explosion of flames, allowing itself to sink.
Bending its massive back, it plunged its two powerful claws into the very center of the explosion, revealing the granite ground below.
Then, it exerted its full power.
How terrifying could the force of a 14-million-ton Godzilla erupting be?
Lowering its body, its two hands plunged dozens of meters into the depths of the earth. Its tail swung, cutting and slamming against the ground, creating fissures. Both hands exerted force simultaneously.
Rise!
The strength of Godzilla, weighing 140 million tons, erupted! The granite ground centered around Godzilla's claws lifted!
Its tail swept away the soil, allowing the granite to burst from the earth intact.
In this way, a massive rock layer—five to six thousand meters long and two to three thousand meters high—was directly lifted by Godzilla from the ground!
Rising with strength to defy the world!
This was the perfect embodiment of Godzilla's tremendous power! Using only its hands and tail, Godzilla lifted a colossal rock weighing nearly a hundred billion tons from underground!
Supporting the massive, incomparable stone with its body, Godzilla raised it high, transforming it into a giant mountain range stretching horizontally along Australia's coast.
The rock cracked, smoke billowing into the sky. Yet it didn't matter—it was already positioned along the coastline, transformed into a nearly three-thousand-meter-high mountain range.
Creating ten thousand peaks to suppress evil spirits! Creating ten thousand formations to shape vitality!
After creating one mountain, Godzilla tirelessly targeted other parts of the coastline with its atomic breath.
Following each blast, Godzilla fired several precise laser beams.
Like the most skilled welder, it cut the exposed rocks into pieces, preparing them for its next creation.
From billions of years ago when Earth was born until today, the planet witnessed the first feat of a single life reshaping its surface, transforming its terrain!
This was a continental-scale mountain-building event that even human nuclear wars couldn't match. And today, Godzilla accomplished it.
Piece by piece, rocks weighing billions of tons were lifted from the Earth's crust, creating towering mountains and ranges.
In just a few hours, under Godzilla's relentless attacks, a cliff-like mountain range—hundreds of kilometers long and averaging 2,000 meters high—was established.
Done.
After several hours of exhausting work, Godzilla finally took a break as the last giant stone settled into place. It surveyed where the mountain range initially landed, where fog had already spread.
Actually, it's a bit too high.
The fog only spread a few hundred meters at the end; it was blocked outside. The oxygen destroyers in the deep sea could no longer generate more fog.
Now, southwest Australia was safe.
The semicircular mountain range blocked the advancing fog's path. The ecosystem that Godzilla created during its ascension remained intact. As for Australia's other coastlines...
It was too late to save them now.
A few hundred kilometers away, once-dense forests had turned into blackened landscapes. The land fell silent in the thick fog, and after a gust of wind, the sound of charred trees collapsing echoed across the desolation.
The land looked as if scorched by a great fire, sinking into profound silence.
The oxygen destroyers enveloped Australia as hundreds of thousands of them continued to operate, completely sealing off the entire continent.
───「 Human POV 」───
"Is the seal on Australia complete? But why is this new environment so important to Godzilla? It could have just evacuated deeper into Australia. But that monster went to extraordinary lengths to build so many mountain ranges... This is really..."
"Great."
In the East Asian command center, Commander Zhang held a candy that resembled a cigarette as he studied the display screen and breathed a sigh of relief.
With the completion of the seal, Godzilla was completely confined to Australia.
In the not-so-distant future, it was unclear what would happen, but at least until Ghidorah's Wings arrived, Godzilla wouldn't be able to escape and cause trouble in the Far East.
Moreover, witnessing such a rare scene during the Oxygen Destroyers' release, seeing what Godzilla did to protect that ecosystem...
He didn't know how others felt, but he believed they had hit the jackpot.
Not only had they encircled Godzilla, but they'd also discovered a weakness that would never change. Wasn't this a tremendous victory?
The existence of that ecosystem was indeed a blessing in disguise.
Commander Zhang contemplated this development with satisfaction.
The sudden change in the ecosystem where Godzilla awoke was something they had detected earlier.
However, due to Godzilla's attacks on the surrounding satellites after waking, they hadn't focused on it. They had simply thought, "Wow, how fascinating," and left it at that.
After all, Godzilla had performed many miraculous feats. Even if it had truly reshaped an ecosystem, as long as there weren't excessively bizarre creatures, humans wouldn't be overly surprised.
Godzilla had given them much more significant shocks before.
As long as no miniature Godzillas appeared in the changed ecosystem, they weren't concerned.
From satellite imagery, the animals and plants in the new ecosystem seemed mysterious, but their appearances and sizes remained within comprehensible limits.
Nothing seemed beyond the realm of reason.
They hadn't witnessed a deer disintegrating into hundreds of insects, nor had they examined the DNA of the animals and plants in this new ecosystem.
The current human understanding of those creatures was limited to observations of insects and lizards. Since the fish were too small to be visible via satellite, they only saw large insects and lizards.
Judging from their body length—at most three to four meters long—nothing seemed particularly alarming.
Humans hadn't paid much attention to the new ecosystem until they noticed Godzilla's unusual behavior after activating the Oxygen Destroyers.
Only then did they reexamine this ecosystem.
Godzilla not only didn't flee from the Oxygen Destroyers but rushed back to where it awoke to defend that ecosystem.
At that moment, they realized there might be a deeper connection between Godzilla and those lifeforms.
It wasn't until Godzilla's actions on the coastline that they fully confirmed their suspicion.
Godzilla cared deeply about the place where the ecosystem had undergone changes.
Humanity had found a new way to deal with their most formidable adversary.
