Chapter 34: Divine Grace

In reality, the purpose of those believers coming to the island nation was astonishingly consistent.

They came for a pilgrimage.

However, the pilgrimage of the Godzilla Cult believers had a slight difference in purpose compared to those who believed in "God."

Because a portion of the latter came to seek death.

At this, Various countries panicked.

They were at a loss whether to stop those who wanted to go to the island nation or not.

After all, no one knew if those people were going on a pilgrimage or traveling on the surface, but secretly going to their deaths.

If they let people go, would that be murder?

And the most panicked of all was the church.

Initially, they didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

It wasn't until several hundred ascetics came as a group to bid them farewell, intending to go on a pilgrimage to the place where Godzilla descended and see if they could ascend to heaven, that they understood the gravity of the situation.

Besides the church, the most anxious party was the American Empire.

Who told them to set up a secret Laboratory in the place where Godzilla descended?

Originally, it was because that was the best testing ground; it was very difficult to find a more suitable place in the world.

After all, when Godzilla evolved, he shed too much blood. Even though they quickly recovered it, there was only more blood in the sea, and contaminated Creatures were discovered almost periodically.

And now, the "secret" part of this secret Laboratory might have to be removed.

Over time, this Laboratory might run into problems.

Leaving aside how Various countries were stopping their own fanatical believers, the island nation, which had just established the Godzilla Cult nation, was taking over everything from the former regime.

Among them was the Laboratory that cultivated Creatures eroded by Godzilla's blood.

This Laboratory was one of the conditions the American Empire agreed to in support of the Godzilla Cult.

Incidentally, this condition was added later.

Just before the Godzilla Cult took control of the island nation.

Inside this Laboratory, tens of thousands of various Creatures were sealed.

Without exception, all these Creatures bore some physical characteristics of Godzilla.

And the cult leader, a fervent believer in Godzilla, shed tears of emotion upon seeing these various animals, vibrant and alive after being fused with Godzilla's blood.

"This—this is divine grace!"

The people of the Godzilla Cult did not make things difficult for the researchers of this Laboratory; in fact, they treated them with great respect.

Researchers, clad in protective suits, watched the fanatical Godzilla Cult believers and felt a chill run down their spines.

"Gentlemen, I know that you have been studying the power of our God for a long time."

"Perhaps, you understand our God even better than we believers do."

The leader of the Godzilla Cult wiped away tears of excitement from the corners of his eyes and turned to look at the trembling researchers standing by.

"Don't be afraid. We won't hurt you; you must believe us."

He consoled them.

"Yes, yes, we believe."

The researchers nodded repeatedly.

If they hadn't seen them kill security guards without batting an eye, they might have actually believed him.

Seeing this person cooperate so readily, the cult leader nodded and said, "We hope that you can research a method for us believers to also bask in divine grace."

The cult leader leaned his face close to the foremost researcher, his bloodshot eyes fixed on him.

"—You, you can do it, right?"

Although it was a question.

The person stared at by the cult leader knew that if he dared to shake his head, he would definitely not end well.

So, he nodded.

"Yes—yes, I can do it."

"That's great!"

The cult leader excitedly grabbed his shoulder, making the skinny researcher feel a sharp pain in his shoulder.

"You want people, I'll give you people. You want funding, I'll give you funding. I only have one request."

The cult leader's tone softened, making him seem like a friendly uncle next door.

"This matter needs to be done as soon as possible, alright?"

The cult leader said softly.

"No—no problem."

What could he do?

Besides nodding, did he dare to shake his head?

After admiring the various mutated animals for a while, the cult leader left with his people.

Inside the Laboratory, almost all the researchers collapsed to the ground.

They looked at the various mutated animals in the cultivation tanks, wanting to cry but having no tears.

How could they not understand what the "divine grace" the cult leader wanted them to create was all about? But precisely because of this, they felt despair.

"What kind of situation is this—"

They were just a group of ordinary university graduates, not even from top universities.

Creating mutated animals sounded impressive, but in reality, it was incredibly simple.

It only required injecting Godzilla's proliferated cells into the animal's body.

Even if many animals didn't survive the mutation, some animals would still live.

Therefore, when they first did this, they even felt lucky.

Such easy money was truly hard to find.

Most importantly, they were paid in dollars! If it were island nation currency, they might not have done it.

But now, they only regretted how they had foolishly agreed to it back then.

Now, they could only grit their teeth and push through.

"Ah ~ Wait, we can go find that person!"

"Which person?"

"The one who initially told us to create mutated animals!"

They suddenly remembered that although they didn't understand, there were people who understood more than them.

At this moment, a desire for life ignited in their eyes.

—Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.

Godzilla lay on the seabed, resting.

Beside him, a monster that looked very similar to the Kaiju that used the Electromagnetic Cannon before, but with two ramming horns on its head, swam around him.

This monster was the first monster Godzilla created after returning to this world.

And it was also the most satisfying monster Godzilla had created so far.

With Kaiju as a biological weapon foundation, the gestation of this monster was clearly much smoother.

Godzilla didn't even have to watch over it much during the entire process.

After this monster broke out of its cocoon, it didn't take long for it to grow to over a hundred meters in length. If food was sufficient, it could still grow further in a short time.

It wielded the Electromagnetic Cannon that Godzilla had been longing for.

Its release mode was the same as that Kaiju: straightening its body and firing the Electromagnetic Cannon from its mouth.

But this monster was much more powerful than that Kaiju.

Although this monster's body did not condense a powerful energy source like a Fusion Reactor, its cells could still produce nuclear energy and release electrical energy.

Therefore, the power of this monster's Electromagnetic Cannon was at least several times greater than that of the original Kaiju!

Of course, that's after its size increased by at least twofold.

But even with its current size, this monster was capable of releasing an Electromagnetic Cannon comparable to that of the Kaiju.
