Chapter 156: Divine Wind

I stand atop the Tokyo Tower to watch the battle unfold. The emperor, who is nothing but a piece of mutated meatball now, watches the battle with me beneath my foot. Both of us are excited at the show, but for different reasons.

*BOOM*

More explosions erupt as I see the Godzilla-like monster shoots bright purple beams out of its mouth, destroying everything in its path. To prevent it from killing more of them, my army of monsters of all shapes and sizes start rushing towards it, attacking it from all sides.

The Godzilla-like monster responds by swiping the majority of them with its whip-like tail, repelling some attacks with the glowing spikes protruding from its back and biting others, ripping them apart with its massive jaw.

It continues fighting through the horde of monsters and stepping on zombies and skeletons that happen to be in its way. Some of the zombies and skeletons that I turn into mages unleash numerous destruction spells on it but they fail to penetrate its obsidian scales.

But the Godzilla still receives some damage despite how much it dominates the battlefield. Some of the monsters manage to leave some scratch and even minor wounds on it, though the Godzilla easily heals the wounds at a rate faster than it receives them, which make it seem like they barely make a dent on its scales.

When the Apex Beasts attack it however, it starts receiving more damage than it could heal. Nevertheless, the wounds didn't stop it. In fact, it seems to be more excited as it fights multiple Apex Beasts at once. How could I tell that it is excited? By noticing how its movements becomes faster and more brutal than when it fought lesser monsters, which bores it.

Truly… this monster greatly resemble a certain someone who's currently not here yet.

"""Godzilla! Godzilla! Godzilla!"""

The defenders chant its name as its actions raises their spirits and morale. Now they think that they can survive this battle. How naïve.

With the Godzilla taking the attention of multiple Apex Beasts at once, many of whom are as big as it, and with the rangers piloting the giant zords decimating many other monsters, the defenders, particularly the ones standing in the breach of the wall with their shields up (both physical and magical) only have the horde of zombies and skeletons to worry about as they kept the horde at bay while the spellcasters on the wall and the ones behind them casts spells that chip away at the horde one by one.

Yes. Good. Keep hoping. Keep thinking that you can win. See what good it does you.

"Heh… It seems… that… your plan failed…!" The emperor, still not admitting his defeat, confidently declares his victory one-sidedly.

"Heh heh heh. Don't be impatient. The show is only starting." I reply with a chuckle, not wanting to spoil the fun as I also secretly keep tabs on my minions, who are already in the city and will soon be prepared to execute my master plan for this city.

Turning my attention back to the battle, I see the Godzilla, surrounded by the Apex Beasts, starts to gather energy around its body, preparing something big. Heh heh heh. It seems that it's thinking of similar strategy that I'm having my minions do.

Seeing that its next move takes some time and sensing its danger, the Apex Beasts, immediately rush to attack it. The Godzilla defends itself by fighting back the onslaught but it didn't stop charging its own attack. The interruptions only serve to delay the inevitable.

A spider-like Apex Beast try to pierce the Godzilla with its long legs but the Godzilla dodged them, only to be intercepted by the claw of an Apex Beast with huge claws, which it responds by swiping said beast away with its tail.

Then the wolf-like beast I revived and enlarged back in Messiah fires its own beam attack from its mouth at the Godzilla, who took the attack head on.

As the smoke clears, the figure of an injured Godzilla emerges, jumping high in the air and uses the nails on its foot to claw at the wolf-like beast as it descends to the ground, piercing through the hard carapace covering its body and landing a massive damage on the flesh beneath the armor.

The Godzilla follows through the attack by biting the wolf-like monster's neck, almost breaking it before being interrupted by an insect-like monster with many crab-like claws pulling its tail with its pincers.

With the Godzilla's attention taken away by the insect monster, the wolf-like monster stood back up and began firing another beam attack from its mouth but the Godzilla dodges the attack by snapping its tail off like a lizard, leading to the beam attack destroying the insect monster who is still grabbing the Godzilla's tail with its pincers.

Another monster with massive bull-like horns charges at the Godzilla, intending to impale the dinosaur with its horns. The Godzilla dodges its attack, letting it crash against another monster before turning towards another monster, a winged beast with hook-like talons trying to attack it with said talons. The Godzilla catches the winged beast's leg between its jaws before the winged beast can use its deadly talons and slams it to the ground and finishes it off by biting its neck off.

The wolf-like monster recovers and tries to attack the Godzilla again with its beam attack but the Godzilla grabs another Apex Beast and throws it at the trajectory of the beam attack, using said beast as a shield while the Godzilla once again jumps to attack the wolf-like monster by stomping it underfoot. The wolf-like monster dodges and tries to counterattack by biting the Godzilla from the side but the Godzilla is faster and bites the wolf beast's leg and slams it to the ground before proceeding to bite its exposed belly where it is unprotected by carapace, trying to tear its organs out.

But the wolf-like beast is an undead, which makes it immune to pain. Without pain getting in the way, the wolf beast claws at the Godzilla's face, forcing it to stop its attack and jumps back.

As the Godzilla lands a few steps backwards, it is immediately surrounded by attacks from all sides. Staying in place would mean receiving attacks from all sides and jumping forward would only mean it has to take the wolf-like beast's beam attack head on as the beast is already prepared to fire its beam attack again.

But the Godzilla is already prepared as well. Purplish magical aura shrouds the Godzilla's body, making its obsidian body glow brightly. The monsters attacking it are stunned by the amount of magic it exudes and they try to escape but the Godzilla chased after them and eventually wraps them with its light.

*BOOOOOOMM*

A nuclear level explosion erupts as the Godzilla decides to do a a self destruct attack that wipes out all the Apex Beast surrounding it, my wolf-like beast included.

The shockwave from the explosion can be felt throughout the whole city and even the Tokyo Tower I'm standing on is shaking, though it obviously didn't shake me as I've taken an attack of similar level head on.

The walls of Tokyo collapses from the sheer strength of the explosion's shockwave, forcing the defenders manning it to jump away with their superhuman strength, though that didn't save some of them who are too engrossed with watching the battle that they were unprepared to jump away to safety.

A few moment of silence passes as the defenders look out to the smoke where the explosion occurred, searching for the figure of the black dinosaur with bated breath.

Eventually I spot the injured figure of the Godzilla inside the smoke. Injured but alive and is slowly regenerating the damages on its body caused by both the attacks from the Apex Beasts and from self destructing. Looks like it didn't exactly do a suicide bomb move although that attack still costs it dearly by giving it massive damage on top of draining its magic power reserve. Looks like even if it was made by my nemesis, the Godzilla still lacks his perfect magic control. If it didn't, it wouldn't have injured itself like that.

Due to its injuries and the need to recover its strength, the Godzilla retreated from the battlefield.

"""Godzilla! Godzilla! Godzilla!"""

Despite causing massive damage to Tokyo's wall, the defenders still cheers its name as it left because thanks to the Godzilla's efforts, they have the advantage in this battle now as the Apex Beasts have been wiped out along with the majority of the monster army, leaving them with only the undead army to worry about. But even with larger breach on the walls, the defenders are still confident that they can take care of the undead army… or so they think.

"Ha… ha ha… haa…. It looks like your army… has been… defeated…!" The emperor taunts me, thinking I've lost the battle. Has his intelligence been reduced by the injection or is he always this stupid? Didn't he know that I could've wiped out the entire city single-handedly if I want to? The only reason I didn't do it is because that would be way too boring and unstylish for a sophisticated villain such as myself.

"You think so? Then think again. Just as you don't care about losing your people, I don't care about losing some minor pawns. In fact, why don't I show you the old imperial army's infamous tactic?" I reply to the old mutated emperor. He still didn't get it as he still didn't lose his grotesque grin.

"You're bluffing, you mad… serial killer! There's nothing you can do… to turn the tide of battle!"

"Just wait and see. The show is about to reach its climax."

"You mean… your defeat?"

"You're too focused on the battle outside the walls that you fail to see what's happening inside the city, didn't you?"

"Why should I!? Your zombies infiltrating the city… has been wiped out by my army!" By 'his army', he's referring to the allied forces who defends the city in place of his imperial army, who has been wiped out in the imperial palace.

"Heh heh heh. That's why you're doomed to fail, Akuto. You are far too short sighted and foolish."

"D-Don't you mock me! I have a vision to a brighter future for humanity! I have plans… for my inevitable and eternal reign!"

"And look where that got you. To becoming nothing but a mutated meatball." The foolish emperor has nothing to counter that. After all, his so-called Divine Serum is to blame for his current condition.

"What do you want, Occult Killer? Money? Fame?" He finally changes his tone to be less defiant, perhaps in a foolish attempt to persuade me into making a deal with him. Oh how foolish. As if I'm a low-class villain who can be persuaded by whatever material gains that you have to offer.

"What I want? I want chaos and destruction. I want to bring suffering and pain to all. I want the world to know and fear me and what I'm capable of."

"You're… insane!"

"You did call me an insane serial killer, didn't you? Why the surprise now?"

"You can't possibly…!"

"You yourself are quite the insane person. World domination? That's a classic and cartoonish villainous ambition."

*BOOM*

An explosion, a non nuclear level one, erupts in the middle of the city, interrupting our conversation. Looks like it has finally started.

"What's… that…?" The emperor asks, baffled at the sight of green smoke in the place where the explosion occurred.

"Didn't you hear me? I said I'm going to use the old imperial army's infamous tactic that they used against the Americans."

"What…?"

"You know? The one they used in the Pacific wars?"

"Huh…?"

"Oh come on! You old people should've studied history more than I did! Especially during your predecessor's reign! Even the Godzilla just gave you a clue back there!"

"You… you mean…!?"

"That's right. The Kamikaze."

"S-Since when did you…?"

"Since the beginning of the battle. You fools are just too focused on the battle occurring outside the walls to notice my minions infiltrating the city, smuggling a few… presents." I explain and for the first time, the foolish emperor lost his grin as he realized that he and the defenders of Tokyo has been toyed with by yours truly the whole time.

Author's Note:

Hope I did alright in writing this Kaiju battle.

TheAbyssWatcher: Godzilla won't matter a bit. Only the gigachad Shad stands a chance to defeat lord Necro, so the outcome of this so called war is already clear. And when Thanatos arrives...

Answer: Yes. But doesn't mean Necro won't make this fun for himself though.

DerTrap: Yes, enjoy your short taste of hope and victory, while you can. After all Necromancer can't allow himself to be outdone by Shadow, so he will follow suit, as King Ghidorah! KAIJU CLASH!

Answer: The Monster Zero must certainly appear if the King of Monster is here. It is inevitable for a rivalry fic like this.

borregodillon9: Excellent chapter as always

Answer: Thanks.

Generalliam0529: Shadow can make monsteres?

If so, godzilla is a great choice. My GOAT for real.

Answer: Indeed. Had this idea since I began writing this fanfic. Godzilla is Atomic after all.

Maxplayz21: this is peak fiction

Answer: Glad you enjoyed it.

Guest: Considering that those zords are partially powered by magic, something tells me that Necro is going to activate a "kill switch" or better yet, "hack" them to fight for him.

Answer: We shall see how that goes.

Guest: will there be more auxiliary chapters of Nu and Iris and their interactions with Claude to show how they fell for him, also will yukime introduce Marie to Claude or when he's necromancer so she can join him, just curious

Answer: Perhaps I do need to highlight Claude's interactions with them, especially Nu. As for Marie, no plans for her to have more roles for now.
