Chapter 67:
Slaying six Greater Daemons of Slaanesh? That wasn't the issue.
There were plenty more where they came from.
The real problem—the part that made every daemon and Chaos Space Marine serving Slaanesh break out in cold sweat—was what had happened inside the Castle of Joy.
The monster had broken through the dimensional defenses of a Slaaneshi Daemon World.
If it had wanted to, it could have stormed straight into the personal palace of the Prince of Excess himself.
But it didn't.
It carved a bloody path through just one Daemon Realm… and exterminated every Greater Daemon within it.
A statement.
A warning.
A message to Slaanesh.
"Damn it, that monster clinging to the outer hull—is that Godzilla?!"
"That cruiser's finished!"
Warships in Warhammer 40K are fortress-cities spanning kilometers, with massive hull bulges and armor ridges—perfect handholds for something the size of a walking apocalypse.
Godzilla gripped the ship's exterior with ease, his claws digging into the armored plating. With the deafening screech of metal twisting under titanic strength, he ripped the outer hull open like a tin can, revealing the cruiser's bridge.
Inside, Slaaneshi cultists and Dark Mechanicum tech-priests scrambled back in horror.
Godzilla didn't care whether the ship could support his colossal weight. When the corridor on one deck couldn't hold him, he simply crushed through the next one.
By the time he was inside, Godzilla occupied the vertical space of five decks.
Some onboard could only see his legs. Others, only his monstrous head peering through shredded bulkheads.
All of them had the same thought:
"God save us."
What they were witnessing wasn't just power—it was absurdity incarnate.
They had seen boarding actions before. Veteran Chaos Marines. Dreadnoughts, even. To them, those were the upper limit of boarding warfare.
But never had they seen something larger than a Titan invade a warship on foot.
Look at the armor plating. That same plating could deflect repeated Dreadnought assaults—Godzilla ripped it open barehanded.
The Emperor's Children within reacted quickly.
"Stop him! We can't let him rampage through the ship!"
But stop him with what?
Godzilla's claws tore through decks one through five with a single sweeping strike, vertically opening the cruiser like a gutted fish.
Desperate Chaos cultists fired lasguns, plasma rifles, and bolt pistols into the hulking beast. But this was the same Godzilla who shrugged off heavy artillery fire on planetary battlefields. Their weapons might as well have been flashlights.
Some tried chainblades. Surprisingly, those fared slightly better—they at least tore off a few scales.
A Noise Marine raised his sonic blaster and unleashed a howling barrage of focused sound waves. The pressure cracked walls and burst eardrums… but Godzilla didn't even blink.
"What?!"
The Noise Marine staggered back, aghast.
"It has no effect? How can that be? Is he even alive?!"
Sonic weapons were supposed to be more lethal to living beings than explosives. They'd liquified loyalist Marines through armor before. Yet now, they did nothing.
Godzilla reached out, and with one swipe, caught a Noise Marine mid-scream. The transhuman warrior flailed, but in Godzilla's claws he was no more threatening than a kitten.
He screamed, kicked, cursed—until he met those colossal reptilian eyes.
For the first time in centuries, he felt fear.
'Hm. This one looks kinda fancy.'
"Oh Gods, help me!" the Marine sobbed.
And this was a Slaaneshi worshiper with reinforced neural inhibitors.
Snap.
Godzilla's grip tightened. Ceramite armor crumpled like paper. Blood splashed across the deck as he casually tossed the broken corpse aside.
'Not flashy enough. Let's wrap this up and get to the next fleet. I wanna see what that Living Saint looks like.'
[You're sounding a bit Slaaneshi yourself.]
'Hey, hey—this isn't about pleasure. I'm just collecting pieces for the board. Same hobby as the Figure King. Speaking of which… isn't he showing up for the Battle of Cadia? Is he here yet?'
[No, not yet. It's not his time. Also, quit chatting—we're about to get torpedoed.]
'Wait, what?!'
Godzilla's attention snapped back to the battle.
'Torpedoes?! Are they seriously bombing their own ship?!'
Considering the reputation of Chaos commanders, it wouldn't be surprising.
Meanwhile, on the bridge, the cruiser's captain was in a screaming match with the Slaaneshi fleet commander.
"You crashed my ship on a prison world?!"
"Yes. There's a grand sacrificial rite underway. We're offering the beast to the gods."
"But the cruiser is going to be scrapped!"
"Better that than losing the entire fleet!"
If Lucius the Eternal hadn't been on the surface, the commander would've activated a Warp jump and abandoned the sector already.
"Or," the commander added, "we could just let everyone else fire torpedoes at you."
"Damn you!"
The captain howled. Even as a Chaos Marine, this level of betrayal boiled his blood.
"If I survive this, I will kill you!"
"Say what you like. Land the cruiser. If you don't, we'll blow it up."
The decision was made.
Trying to fight Godzilla in close quarters aboard a ship was suicide. The monster could punch through hulls and crush Astartes in his palm.
Sacrificing the cruiser was the best-case scenario.
"Blow us up then!" the captain spat. "Take the beast down with us—don't let me die for nothing!"
The fleet commander exhaled and turned to his gunners.
"You heard him. Load the tubes. Target the cruiser. Destroy it and the monster!"
"Hahahaha~!"
Noise Marines laughed with gleeful hysteria as torpedoes were loaded by slave crews.
These weren't tactical whirlwinds or guided strike pods. These were full naval-grade torpedoes—capable of blasting holes in kilometer-long warships. Even battleships couldn't take more than a few direct hits.
And now, over thirty of them were locked on target.
Even a flagship wouldn't survive that barrage.
The torpedoes launched, streaking across the void toward the cruiser, their engines screaming in the silence of space.
Godzilla looked up through the torn hull—and saw them.
'…You're actually doing it?! You lunatics!'
