In an instant, the light on Godzilla’s dorsal fins surged dramatically, the rumbling sound growing increasingly deafening.
A blazing blue atomic beam shot straight into the sky, targeting the fleeing Golden Armored Heavenly Soldiers high above.
The atomic beam swept across the heavens, forcing the Heavenly Soldiers into panicked evasive maneuvers, danger looming at every turn. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveIＦire.net
At this moment, the West City Guard Team arrived at full speed, with an array of Mechanical Beasts encircling the Heavenly Soldiers.
"Curse it! It’s a trap! We need to escape this city..."
"Get out of here, now..."
The Heavenly Soldiers wiped their foreheads, their Heavenly Eyes shining with brilliance, unleashing Destruction Energy that drove back the approaching West City Guard Team.
The energy exploded in the skies, shockwaves rippling through the streets. The light on Godzilla’s dorsal fins flickered, and the atomic energy abruptly ceased.
Seeing the opportunity, the Heavenly Soldiers took flight, heading toward the outskirts of the city.
Suddenly, golden radiance erupted from the Void.
A brilliant slash of golden light instantly bisected the slowest-moving Heavenly Soldier.
Scarlet blood scattered like raindrops, as Qin Shou, clad in ornate armor, burst forth from the scene.
"Damn it, he’s after us again..."
The remaining Heavenly Soldiers cried out in alarm as they desperately fled toward the city’s outer limits.
Meanwhile, Qin Shou, donning the majestic Emperor Armor, waved the Aurora Sword in his hand.
A grandly crafted Space Gate snapped open, and the Emperor Battle Dragon roared as it surged out.
The dragon’s thunderous cry pierced the air, as Qin Shou leapt onto its back, speeding after the fleeing Heavenly Soldiers.
Behind him, the West City Guard Team prepared to activate the West City Barrier to trap the Heavenly Soldiers inside West City.
"Wait, don’t activate the barrier, or the battle will spill into West City."
"Alright, then we’ll chase them outside the city..."
The Guard Team soared grandly over West City without paying any mind to Godzilla on the ground.
Pedestrians, observing this anomaly, finally relaxed upon noticing that Godzilla wasn’t causing any destruction to the city.
"It turns out this Godzilla is a Beast."
"I thought I was going to die..."
"Yeah, by the way, I think Qin Shou, who just came back from the Beast Cultivation Main City, has a Godzilla Beast..."
"Why is Qin Shou chasing those people anyway..."
"Not just Qin Shou—the West City Guard Team seems to be after them, too..."
"Forget it, forget it. Us ordinary folks shouldn’t get involved in these matters."
"That’s right, that’s right..."
The pedestrians chatted while snapping photos of Godzilla, posting them on their communication platforms...
Elsewhere, atop a skyscraper.
The Heavenly Soldier who had been bisected clung to life, struggling to crawl toward the distant half of his severed body.
The wounds were horrifying, and his blood trailed across the rooftop.
Suddenly, in the sunlight, a shadow fell over the Heavenly Soldier’s head.
At this moment, the blood-soaked face of the Heavenly Soldier was etched in despair.
Then, gritting his teeth fiercely, he said.
"Humans... You will never obtain the treasure of my Heavenly Eye Divine Race."
As he spoke, his Heavenly Eye on his forehead emitted a faint glow, the energy within growing chaotic.
He was prepared to self-destruct.
The figure suddenly spoke, crouching down as a vast surge of Star Power enveloped his palm, covering the Heavenly Soldier’s severed body. Effortlessly halting his suicide attempt, the figure granted the soldier a brief moment of survival.
"Tell me, what is the treasure of the Heavenly Eye Divine Race that you speak of?"
The figure revealed an aged face. His forehead gradually emitted light, forming a Heavenly Eye identical to the soldier’s.
The Heavenly Soldier’s face contorted in shock, "You... You are one of the Heavenly Eye Divine Race?"
The old man nodded, "Yes."
"But why do you not even know about the treasure of the Heavenly Eye Divine Race?" The soldier expressed suspicion.
The old man quickly explained, "I am a spy sent to the Human World by the True Monarch. Some of my memories were erased by the True Monarch."
The Heavenly Soldier suddenly understood, yet after glancing at his mutilated body, he grasped the old man’s collar desperately.
"If you are truly one of us, then go save them! The True Monarch sent us here before his demise to preserve our clan’s treasure.
With it, our Heavenly Eye Divine Race will surely rise again."
The old man’s gaze shifted, seemingly lost in thought.
The Heavenly Soldier noticed and let out a heart-wrenching scream: "Go now! Or it’ll be too late!"
The scream drained the last vestiges of the soldier’s strength. His Heavenly Eye ceased glowing, and his life faded, scattering into dust carried away by the wind.
The old man remained unmoved. The soldier’s death failed to evoke any shred of sorrow from this "kindred."
"Although it’s quite fortuitous, the Heavenly Eye Divine Race is real—and now dead—so it shouldn’t be a trap.
And this treasure of the Heavenly Eye Divine Race... It can enable their almost-extinct race to rise once again; it must be an extraordinary artifact!
If I can acquire it, perhaps I can convince those old fools to spare me, and I won’t have to live a life of running and hiding."
With that thought, a fierce gleam illuminated the old man’s murky eyes.
