------------------------------------------------
Deep in the Pacific.
Mariana Trench.
In a subterranean fissure nearly eleven thousand meters deep in the seabed, blue electric arc-like energy pulses suddenly flickered, followed by an orange-yellow folded space-time wormhole formed by atomic energy that abruptly opened. After a huge shadow passed through it, it closed again.
And the entire process took less than thirty seconds!
After the huge shadow appeared, it followed the direction of the ocean current, rapidly ascending from the deep sea all the way up!
At the same time.
In Cook Inlet, America, about dozens of miles off the coast of Anchorage, Alaska.
On the sea, a fishing boat was heading to its designated fishing area for fishing operations as usual.
On the deck, several crew members wearing life jackets were smoking and chatting about recent interesting news, which was their best way to pass the boring sailing time.
And in their conversations, the most frequently mentioned was the Hyperspace Group...
Whether it was the battle between aliens and Greenwich, or the hundred-person squad fighting hellish demons in front of the Empire State Building, or the Superpower Squad rescuing the President, all became interesting anecdotes that everyone talked about with relish.
Thus, unknowingly, these ordinary people contributed a portion of their Prestige to Karl, who was generating power on the Golden Throne in Sokovia.
Go, go, give you a thumbs up!
However, these crew members and the Captain were completely unaware that a huge crisis was quietly approaching in the deep blue and profound waters beneath the fishing boat.
Rumble...!!!
A huge black shadow suddenly broke out of the water from the seabed, breaking the rare calm on the sea surface—it was a brand new Kaiju!!
Compared to the two Kaiju that had appeared before, this new one was significantly larger in size.
Its entire body was covered with hard biomass carapaces like shields, emitting a metallic luster like a steel fortress under the refraction of sunlight.
In addition, orange-yellow stripes of unknown function covered its body, and the two pairs of short forelimbs on its chest, like those of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, were extremely sharp.
But the true trump card of this Kaiju was the sharp, axe-like Knifehead on its head.
The bone-like sharp point at the front, gleaming with a cold light, looked as if it could easily pierce through the strongest armor.
Every powerful stroke of its massive limbs in the seabed stirred up a turbulent wave on the sea surface. With the thrust of the seawater, its enormous body, like an arrow released from a bow, lunged towards the fishing boat in front of it.
"Cap... Captain, it's a Monster!!"
"Damn it, turn around quickly, it's rushing towards us!"
The crew on the deck immediately rushed into the cockpit in a panic, while the Captain had already seen the terrifying scene on the sea through the ship's side. While turning the rudder hard to avoid the impending collision, he urged his subordinates to send a distress signal to the Coast Guard.
However, even though the fishing boat had turned around and fled at full speed, it still couldn't compare to the speed of this Kaiju.
Boom—
In the blink of an eye, the fishing boat was easily cut in half by the Kaiju's sharp Knifehead.
...
PPDC Organization.
Gulf of Alaska Base.
Wuwuwu—
A sharp, piercing alarm suddenly sounded without warning.
The previously relaxed atmosphere within the Base was instantly shattered.
In the combat command center, a group of staff members looked nervously at the large monitoring screen. After pulling up images of the incident location using military satellites, everyone was stunned.
"This Kaiju is estimated to be over 96 meters tall, about 180 meters long, and weigh around 27,000 tons..."
The staff member swallowed hard, then turned to Stacker Pentecost, the Commander who had arrived at the command center at the first possible moment, and said:
"Officer, this Kaiju's metrics have clearly surpassed the previous two. It's the largest Level Three Monster to appear so far. It seems they are really evolving!"
Stacker Pentecost frowned, muttering, "Has another one of Karl Merks's prophecies been verified?"
Without much hesitation, Stacker Pentecost immediately ordered: "Immediately notify the pilots of Hunter Mecha 001 to prepare for sortie. Also, use radiation detectors to trace the movement trajectory of this Kaiju. We must find their appearance location this time!!"
"Yes."
The staff member immediately issued an emergency command through the communicator.
"Attention, two pilots of Female MUTO Hunter Mecha 001, please report to Bay 04 immediately. Clearance Code A03. A Kaiju has been detected, codenamed Knifehead, provisional Level Three. It is currently advancing towards the Anchorage coastline and is expected to arrive in 20 minutes..."
A few minutes later.
"Pilot helmet data loading, relay gel injecting into circuit armor..."
"Operating cabin closed and locked, Mecha 001 head preparing to descend..."
"Female MUTO Mecha ready for descent and release..."
"Descent approved!!"
As Stacker Pentecost gave the order, the huge Mecha head rapidly slid down along the guide rails on both sides, heavily pressing against the Mecha body below.
Click, click—
Parts engaged, locked, the Hunter Mecha's head and body completed their combination.
The huge Arc Reactor device supplying energy to the chest also gradually lit up with a circular, fluorescent white glow.
"Docking interaction successful..."
"Initiating pilot brain region interaction program, pilot brain region interaction in progress..."
"Pilot neural interaction about to begin... Three, two, one, neural interaction system successfully activated... Neural interaction sensing perfect!!"
"Pilot's left brain hemisphere undergoing automatic calibration, pilot's right brain hemisphere undergoing automatic calibration... Verification passed, neural interaction data being transmitted..."
The entire Base reacted swiftly, operating at high speed like a precision machine.
The massive Female MUTO Hunter Mecha, from the pilot's login to the two pilots maneuvering the Mecha out of the hangar, took only about five minutes in total.
And compared to the awkwardness of the first "test drive," with diligent practice in recent months, the coordination and operation of the two pilots had become increasingly skilled.
Rumble—
Accompanied by a series of roars from the ground, the Female MUTO Hunter Mecha took steps and advanced at full speed towards the sea area where Knifehead was expected to make landfall.
...
And at the same time.
Coincidentally, at a nearby private Base, Emma Russell, who was holding a secret meeting with the notorious "ecological terrorist" Allen Jonah, also received the news.
"Are you sure it's a Kaiju, and not a Titan?"
Emma Russell frowned slightly, asking her confidant on the other end of the phone.
"There's absolutely no mistake. The information was sent back immediately by our undercover agent within the PPDC Organization. Then we quickly locked onto the target using military satellites. After multi-faceted data evaluation and comparison, we can confirm that the Monster that just appeared is a Kaiju..."
Upon hearing this, Emma Russell's eyes flashed with disappointment. Just as she was about to hang up, she heard her confidant continue to report:
"However, this time the PPDC Organization has dispatched Female MUTO Hunter Mecha 001 to meet the challenge!!"
Emma Russell's eyes widened slightly, and she immediately became interested, eagerly asking, "Is that the giant bio-Mecha constructed using the Female MUTO skeleton?"
"That's right. I heard that Mecha seems to have successfully preserved MUTO's Electromagnetic Pulse ability."
"Alright, I understand. Immediately send me the coordinates where the Kaiju is preparing to make landfall."
"Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Emma Russell looked at the bald old White male sitting opposite her, who had remained silent, and said:
"Mr. Jonah, if possible, please take me to a place first. I have an idea I want to personally confirm!"
Allen Jonah said with some displeasure, "Dr. Emma, with all due respect, we should now focus all our energy on Zero Monster, not those irrelevant Kaiju!!"
"No, you're wrong, this is not irrelevant!"
Emma Russell smiled mysteriously, "This will directly concern whether we need to accelerate the progress of our upcoming cooperation!"
"Oh?"
Allen Jonah looked at the other party with half-belief, and seeing the extremely firm expression on Emma Russell's face, he nodded somewhat helplessly, "Alright, who made you the one who can control the Titan?"
Then he ordered his subordinates to prepare the aircraft, and the group began to advance towards the Anchorage coastline where the Kaiju was about to make landfall.
...
On the continental shelf less than seven miles from the Anchorage coastline, Female MUTO Hunter Mecha 001 was already standing by, fully prepared.
"Gentlemen, your mission this time is to defend the last barrier of the Anchorage coastline. You absolutely cannot let Knifehead successfully make landfall here..."
Stacker Pentecost spoke into the communicator, reminding them with a serious tone: "Of course, also remember, do not be lured into deeper waters for combat. The Female MUTO is temporarily unable to adapt to deep-sea combat, understood?"
"Understood, Officer."
The two Rangers piloting Female MUTO Hunter Mecha 001 immediately replied in unison: "But Officer, why hasn't that big guy appeared yet?"
"Boys, never let your guard down."
Stacker Pentecost thought for a moment and said, "Currently, all signs indicate that this biochemical Monster, manufactured and transmitted to Earth by an alien civilization through genetic engineering, is likely to 'evolve' with the failure of each preceding generation.
So this newly appeared Knifehead is stronger than the previous two, both in intelligence and physique..."
"This battle can be said to be the PPDC Organization's first public debut since its establishment. All countries in the World will be watching you, so you must win beautifully for me!"
"Don't worry, Officer, leave it to me."
The two Rangers replied confidently, but just then, the distant sea surface suddenly boiled, followed by a huge black shadow that shot out from beneath the sea.
Roar—
When Knifehead discovered the Female MUTO Hunter Mecha opposite it, which looked no different from a Titan, a clear look of confusion appeared in its blue eyes.
But then, as if declaring its sovereignty or issuing a challenge to the other party, it suddenly let out an Earth-shattering roar, looking up at the sky.
The massive sound waves caused the surrounding air to subtly vibrate, and ripples spread across the sea surface.
"Did you see that? That guy seems to be showing off to us?"
Inside the cockpit, the two Rangers didn't take the enemy opposite them seriously at all. They immediately activated the weapon system, and their mouths split open, revealing the Giant Plasma Cannon inside, which was rapidly charging.
"Come on, ugly monster, take this shot!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
As if sensing the approaching danger, Knifehead, upon hearing the increasingly rapid charging sound of the Plasma Cannon, frantically lowered its head and used its sharp Knifehead at the front to ram straight towards the Female MUTO Hunter Mecha.
"Still trying to ambush us?"
One of the Rangers, quick-witted, yanked the control stick. One of the Female MUTO Hunter Mecha's sharp forelimbs directly pierced Knifehead's steel-plate-thick skin, deeply embedding itself into its left shoulder blade, causing its forward charge to momentarily halt.
At the same time, the Plasma Cannon in the Female MUTO Hunter Mecha's mouth had also rapidly completed charging. A dazzling, blinding, azure energy beam, as if capable of tearing the sky, shot out, striking Knifehead's chest.
Boom—
Knifehead's massive body was actually blasted back dozens of meters by this single strike, heavily crashing beneath the sea surface.
Although this blow did not directly penetrate Knifehead's body, it still caused it severe internal injuries. Blue toxic blood continuously flowed from its mouth and nose, quickly forming a "blue blood layer" on the sea surface, thick enough to obstruct vision.
"Officer, mission accomplished. We successfully intercepted the Monster. That big guy was directly blasted away by one of our shots!!"
"That's right, we just secured a beautiful... no, it should be called a perfect kill. This is enough to be recorded in the PPDC Organization's history.
From now on, whether it's a Kaiju or a Titan, we can solve them all. We no longer need to have our human glory stolen by that smelly gorilla from the Hyperspace Group!!"
Stacker Pentecost's face also showed a hint of joy upon hearing this, and his previously anxious heart slowly relaxed.
A great victory in the first battle!
Whether for the PPDC Organization or for him as the person in charge, this was undoubtedly extremely exciting good news.
