"Zizzizi..."

The ocean trembled.

Miraluz's scales ignited with a blinding cascade of golden lightning.

Every cell in his body buzzed violently, rubbing, colliding, and crackling as the tension built.

His body acted like a giant Tesla coil, flesh and sinew generating a surging voltage that climbed higher with every millisecond.

Then came the shift.

The arcs didn't just spark; they stabilized.

In a flash, a dome of electromagnetic energy escaped from his body, linking him with the planetary field that spanned the oceans.

It didn't just shield him; it echoed every vibration, every electric pulse of the sea, syncing with the Earth itself.

His very body became an extension of the environment, a living storm.

"Phase Shift"

He vanished.

The massive ocean currents spiraled violently, reacting to his sudden disappearance.

Pressure waves spread in all directions, but not a trace of the massive draconic Titan could be seen.

Only turbulence remained.

Godzilla turned his massive head, scanning with his primal senses.

He had fought Titans that cloaked, Titans that flew, Titans that spit toxins and turned the air itself to fire.

But this was different.

This one became the battlefield.

He narrowed his eyes.

The water to his left surged, but too late.

BOOM!

A red blur slammed into his side with terrifying force.

Miraluz's tail struck like a living railgun, plasma arcs spiraling behind it.

The magnetic vortex spun around his tail, concentrating friction and acceleration into one devastating attack.

Godzilla's scales exploded inward.

The punch bypassed the exterior armor.

It sent a direct concussive force deep into his chest cavity, shattering ribs and rupturing capillaries.

Red mist erupted from his mouth.

He roared, but before the sound completed, a second blow struck his spine.

WHAM!

Miraluz circled like a phantom shark, invisible, fast, precise.

Another blow landed to Godzilla's flank, then another, each coming from a different direction.

Godzilla thrashed with atomic fury, but hit nothing.

Miraluz reappeared above, hovering briefly, letting red arcs dance around his outstretched wings.

"Too slow," he growled, diving downward again.

Godzilla anticipated him this time.

The King of the Monsters turned and unleashed a wide wave of pure concussive force with his tail.

The blow sliced through water like a tsunami, catching the edge of Miraluz's wing.

The dragon roared, not in pain, but in irritation, and righted himself.

His electromagnetic stealth faltered for a second.

"NOW!"

Godzilla's mouth glowed blue.

Atomic energy flowed to the surface.

But Miraluz, recognizing the hum of the breath's build-up, dove and twisted mid-water with uncanny grace.

Godzilla fired.

KA-WHAM!

The beam cut through the ocean like a lance of the gods.

It superheated everything it touched, vaporizing thousands of tons of water, forming an expanding bubble of steam and plasma.

But it missed.

Miraluz vanished again, escaping the attack, but only slightly.

Then-

"BAM!!"

Another direct strike, this one to Godzilla's lower jaw.

His head snapped backward, and the beam cut upward into the sky, slicing a hole in the storm clouds above.

Lightning crackled in response.

The heavens echoed the violence below.

Miraluz circled him again.

His voice, calm and sharp, echoed into Godzilla's mind like sonar.

"You're strong. But you're ancient. You're slow."

Godzilla answered the only way he could, with a full-body surge.

He let the radioactive core inside him overheat.

The sea around him boiled.

A sphere of superheated pressure expanded outward, catching Miraluz mid-rotation.

For the first time, the dragon grunted.

His force field crackled. His stealth broke entirely.

The two Titans stared at each other, just meters apart.

Then they charged.

CRASH!

The impact flattened the seabed.

Coral reefs shattered.

Columns of dust and ash flew into the currents.

Godzilla bit into Miraluz's shoulder, his serrated teeth puncturing scales.

But Miraluz didn't flinch; he grabbed Godzilla's throat with electrified claws and forced nuclear power directly into his bloodstream.

Godzilla spasmed. Arcs of red lightning erupted from his spines.

They disengaged.

Both giants backed off, eyeing the other.

Both wounded. Both furious.

And then....

A high-pitched SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH tore through the sea like a banshee's wail.

Miraluz and Godzilla both turned.

Far above, cutting through the thunderclouds, two black figures emerged.

One was massive, with angular limbs like cleavers and pulsing red lines across its shell.

The other, smaller but faster, zipped through the sky like a missile with wings.

The MUTOs.
