## Chapter 314: Situation, Pillow Talk, Plans
Two Giant Spirit God Mechs landed in front of Frank, hissing white steam. The two pilots opened their faceplates, revealing German faces.
The two pilots were not members of the Dark Demon Special Forces who had previously followed Kane. Instead, they were from the Grenzschutz-Gruppe 9 (GSG9). This unit is also a world-renowned counter-terrorism special force.
Perhaps it was due to the prestige Kane, their compatriot, left behind in the German military, or perhaps it was the allure of the Tang Group's allowances, which were far higher than other Defense Companies. A large portion of members from German Counter-Terrorism Special Forces choose to join the Tang Group's Defense Company after retirement.
After undergoing secondary training at the East African Training Camp or the Siberian Training Camp, they are assigned as the Tang Group Peripheral Armed Forces, mercenaries. Currently, within the Tang Group, German-descended soldiers have formed a considerable force, mostly concentrated within Kane's Training Camp and Defense Company.
The two soldiers being selected as Giant Spirit God Mech pilots naturally meant they were among the best, with at least an A grade in every subject at the Training Camp. Frank withdrew his gaze from the forest, looking at the two soldiers with appreciation. He nodded at them and said, "I can tell you have some talent for piloting mechs. I'll tell Professor Connors later and have him reserve a genetic adjustment opportunity for you!"
"Thank you, Boss Frank!"
The two soldiers looked grateful, their excitement undeniable.
The Tang Group's genetic adjustments are divided into Mutant Form and Non-Mutant Form. Just like the Lizard Serum Professor Connors first developed, and the Ghost Wolf Serum and Daywalker Serum developed based on Perfect Blood, including Titan Model Serums like King Ghidorah and Yamata no Orochi, these all belong to the Mutant Form. Subjects injected with these serums can transform back and forth between Human Form and Beast Form, which is why they are referred to as Beast Form Serums by internal Tang Group personnel.
Beast Form Serums are divided into two types: Rare Type and Normal Type. Among them, Rare Type Serums are the series of Titan Model Serums like King Ghidorah. Because these serums need to solve the problem of Genetic Collapse, injecting a perfect Titan Model Serum requires a large amount of Auxiliary Medicine and many instruments to assist in completion. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. One must know that before injecting a Titan Serum, one must first inject Alien Compatibility Serum, Blood Orchid Serum, and Perfect Serum, totaling no less than six Prerequisite Serums. It can be said that the cost of injecting a single Titan Type Serum is roughly equivalent to the construction cost of a destroyer.
Therefore, the several types of Titan Model Serums are among the highest tier in the Tang Group's Contribution Points Exchange Sequence, second only to Boss Tang's Personal Transmission of Dharma.
As for Normal Type Beast Form Serums, they are much simpler, like the Lizard Serum, Ghost Wolf Serum, and Daywalker Serum series. These serums are easy to inject, cause no rejection, and the cost is low, with a single injection costing less than two thousand US Dollars. After all, the Hive Laboratory stores enough Serum Samples. However, the drawback is that once these Normal Type Serums are injected, one is basically ineligible for Titan Serums. This is because injecting Titan Serum after injecting Normal Beast Form Serums increases the likelihood of genetic collapse by fifty percent.
Solving this problem is very difficult. Currently, only a few soldiers ranked high in the Tang Group's Card Squad have successfully transitioned from Normal Beast Form Serum to Titan Serum; there are no other precedents. Therefore, within the Tang Group, the most popular method is genetic adjustment without hidden risks. This genetic adjustment is based on the Secondary Super Soldier Serum. Professor Connors analyzes the Secondary Super Soldier Serum and combines it with Perfect Blood, then uses specialized Alien Equipment to micro-adjust human genes, slightly improving the physical quality and neural response of the injected person. Generally, after three to four adjustments, once genetic adaptability is significantly enhanced, one can then inject Titan Serum.
However, these biological agents cannot be exchanged for money. Within the Tang Group, there is its own system for calculating Contribution Points. Of course, this system excludes Leaders like Kane and Frank, who are the rule-makers. That's why the two mech pilots were so excited upon hearing Frank's promise.
The blue-gray Quinjet deactivated its stealth mode and circled twice overhead before landing in front of Frank. The plane's lower deck opened, and Kitty and a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent quickly disembarked.
Kitty's eyes widened at the sight of the two Giant Spirit God Mechs. Their cool appearance, the matte black coating, directly appealed to Kitty. Who said only boys like the romance of piloting giant robots? Kitty had loved mech toys since childhood. Seeing such handsome mechs now, she even walked up to the two pilots and touched the somewhat cold bodies.
As for the Agent, being able to follow Frank meant this S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent was naturally also part of the Tang Group. He nodded to the two mech pilots and then walked over to Frank.
"Leader! We just received word that two Giant Beasts are heading towards Tokyo, Japan, targeting Mount Fuji. According to the Science Division's calculations, these two Giant Beasts are likely trying to trigger a volcanic eruption on Mount Fuji, thereby altering Earth's ecosystem!"
"Additionally, besides Mount Fuji, they analyzed the movement trajectories of some Giant Beasts and found that their targets are all world-renowned Active Volcanoes!"
"The World Security Council has issued a strict order, requiring us to stop them!"
"Then let's go."
Frank stretched his limbs, looking at the Romanian Army approaching in the distance, without any intention of greeting them. He strode towards the Quinjet. On the way, he tapped his watch, and the figure of the three-inch-tall Virtual Girl in Red Dress appeared on his watch face.
"Red Queen, I need detailed files on Victor von Doom! Von, tsk tsk, is he a WWII German Junker Noble? I wonder if Kane knows him!"
Click, click!
The helmets on the heads of the two Giant Spirit God Mech soldiers automatically closed. Under Kitty's reluctant gaze, the thrusters beneath their feet sprayed two streams of blue flames, carrying them soaring into the sky.
Anteverse Planet. An ancient map of Earth from the Cretaceous period appeared in the Precursors' neural network. Following the failed attack, this ancient map was marked with red light spots. It was similar to the combat command maps of Earth's National Governments, except the red dots on Earth's map represented the Breaches and the Alien Kaiju emerging from them. On the Precursors' map, the red dots indicated strong resistance encountered by the Kaiju. The larger and denser the red dot, the more tenacious the resistance.
"Damn it, having one Planet Guardian Beast on a Normal Planet is one in ten thousand, but this planet actually has over a dozen Planet Guardian Beasts!" the Precursor King exclaimed in shock and anger, feeling the Kaiju going offline in the neural network one by one.
"Where are Corvus Glaive and the others? Are they still at that Hunting Ground?" the Precursor King asked his Subordinate in the neural network. The Subordinate quickly reported Corvus Glaive's whereabouts to the Precursor King.
"King, they've been having a great time on the Hunting Planet recently!"
"Then before they return, deal with this planet. Open all the Wormhole Coordinates we left on that Blue Planet, close the Wormholes on other planets, temporarily halt attacks on other planets, and invest all resources into this planet. Since this planet has powerful Guardians, let's modify our War Beasts. Don't engage them directly. As soon as our War Beasts step out of the Wormhole, have them self-destruct to contaminate this planet!"
"King, then this planet will be completely worthless. I'm afraid it won't fetch a good price later!"
"Idiot! If I become the Leader of the Black Order, with Thanos's strength, what is a small Habitable Planet!"
"I understand, King!"
On this day, the hundreds of Wormhole Tunnels on the Anteverse Planet closed one after another. Only the ancient star in the sky continued to emit light and heat. After the Precursors increased their offensive, the pressure on Earth instantly intensified. The threat Earth faced this time far exceeded the Wormhole Counterattack Battle during the Chitauri Invasion.
After all, there was only one Space Gate back then, and the battlefield was artificially controlled within the Former Mexican Leon Urban Area. Most Ordinary People around the world only saw the Alien Invasion on television live broadcasts. The level of excitement was equivalent to watching a Hollywood blockbuster. As for the rampant fantasy creatures caused by the Alignment of Nine Stars, they were effectively controlled through the full cooperation of various countries. Moreover, the Alignment of Nine Stars astronomical phenomenon was short-lived and had extremely limited impact on Earth.
However, the Kaiju Invasion brought by the Breach instantly threw the entire world's order into chaos. With fifteen Wormholes originally distributed across the globe, this Kaiju Invasion had affected the Seven Continents and dozens of countries. Under the joint containment efforts of the World Security Council, NATO, and some Asian Bloc Countries led by [Redacted], coupled with Earth's self-regulation in facing the crisis, and with the Ancient Titans participating in the battle, the situation was barely under control. However, after the Precursors intensified their offensive, the number of Wormholes opened on Earth more than doubled from fifteen.
Earth immediately found it difficult to cope. Even the Federation, Russia, and [Redacted], the three strongest countries, despite their strength, also had larger territories and longer coastlines, which increased the difficulty of defense. Facing the Alien Giant Beasts from within the Wormholes, they had to consolidate their Military Force. For example, the Giant Spirit God Mech that used to fly around the world providing reinforcements had to be pulled back to guard the Federation's coastline. Russia even resorted to using Space-Based Weapons without hesitation. As for environmental contamination and toxicity, those were matters to consider afterward.
The worst off were island nations like Japan, surrounded by the sea on all sides. Perhaps it was because Japan often showed monster movies, but after the Giant Snake invaded Tokyo, Tokyo once again faced a Kaiju disaster. Los Angeles, Hawaii, New York, the California Coast – Alien Giant Beasts were found in many locations. Even though the Department of Defense placed orders for Giant Spirit God Mechs with Tang Military Industrial overnight, and even though the Department of Defense had tripled the Rental Fee, Tang Military Industrial couldn't rush out that many mechs in time.
Department of Defense personnel were practically living at the Tang Military Industrial factory. Every time a Giant Spirit God Mech came off the production line, it was immediately sent to the Battlefield before the Tang Defense Department personnel could even get used to the mech. The Federation, preoccupied with its own troubles, completely ignored its two Staunch Followers, pretending not to see the tragedies in the two countries.
It was only after the Japanese Prime Minister and the South Korean President flew to Washington D.C., Federation, on private jets, practically cornering Barack Obama at the White House, that the Federation finally allocated four Giant Spirit God Mechs. Japan and South Korea each received two mechs, which was almost like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water against those Alien Giant Beasts.
However, there were also intelligent people among the High-level Staff of both countries. After learning about the manufacturer of the Giant Spirit God Mechs, the Japanese Cabinet approached the Yashida Family. Although Mariko Yashida was not in Japan, the Cabinet conveyed a certain message to the Tang Group Higher-ups through the Yashida Family. They were willing to rent the Tang Group's mechs at ten times the price offered by the Federation.
Meanwhile, South Korea's South Korean Blue House, just like the Japanese Government, also planned to use Pillow Talk and approached Yoo Rachel and her mother. In South Korean High Society, it was no secret that RS International's Li Esther and her daughter had connections with Federation Big Shots. RS International, which had only been doing well in South Korea, was able to expand its brand to Milan, Italy, and Federal New York because of this. Some South Korean Upper Class Society members used to talk about these matters with a hint of jealousy, openly mocking Choi Jin-ho of Zeus Group as a cuckold, knowing that Cosmos Group had almost formed a Marriage Alliance with RS International back then.
However, when facing the Alien Giant Beast Invasion, and the Plutocrats of South Korean High Society fled one after another (after all, South Korea's land area is too small; once a Kaiju lands, it can reach Seoul, South Korea, within half an hour. For South Korean Upper Class Society, this distance offered no Sense of Security. The smart ones either ran to the Federation or went to neighboring [Redacted]!), at Seoul Airport, in front of a plane bound for the Federation, under the gaze of numerous South Korean Chaebol, the High-Ranking Officials of South Korean Blue House, including the President, almost bowed their heads to the ground in front of the young Yoo Rachel, performing a Bow in Grand Ceremony, begging Yoo Rachel to save South Korea!
Yoo Rachel's eyes widened, her small mouth, painted with limited edition lipstick, could almost fit an egg. "Save South Korea? Me?"
"South Korea's National Fortune is entrusted to you!"
Yoo Rachel boarded the plane to the Federation with a look of bewilderment. To ensure her safety, South Korea even dispatched two Fighter Jets as escorts.
Semi-colonial countries like Japan and South Korea, when their Leader was preoccupied, could only find their own methods. And as Earth gradually struggled against the Precursors' Force, many Hidden Behind-the-Scenes Forces extended a Helping Hand. Wakanda goes without saying. The Mechanical Swarming Capability displayed by the small Eastern European country of Latveria completely stunned the Romanian Government. This small, poor, and backward country next to them for hundreds of years, after Romania's coastline fell, directly took over from the Romanian Army to defend the coastline. Of course, from Doom's perspective, having the Battlefield within Romania was much better than having the flames of war burn into Latveria.
The Mysterious Wizard Association began to act. They cast Mirror Spells and Space Spells, rescuing people all over the world, helping S.H.I.E.L.D. and the World Security Council transport Military Force. Even on the Eastern European Battlefield, large numbers of Werewolves, Vampires, and Black Wizards appeared. These individuals were at the Frontline resisting the Alien Giant Beasts. Photos of them fighting desperately against the Alien Giant Beasts directly exploded on the network. The Underworld appeared before the People of the World in a way no one could have imagined.
Despite the participation of various Forces and the National Authorities quickly initiating coastal civilian shelter plans, the shelters built around the world were ultimately limited. Especially in some countries that advocated democracy, some people insisted that the Giant Beasts were merely a conspiracy by the government's upper echelons. Even as the Giant Beasts were about to land on the coastline, they completely disregarded the government's evacuation and instead began large-scale Demonstration Marches.
Even more brainless was that at such a moment, some Animal Protection Organizations also jumped out, advocating the Giant Beast Protection Theory. In their slogans, Giant Beasts were also life and needed to be treated equally. They held Protest Marches, calling for no resistance against the Giant Beasts. Brainless rhetoric, coupled with some Doomsday Cult Organizations fanning the flames and stirring up trouble, made the situation extremely lively for a time.
Facing this situation, another Force stepped forward. This time, it was the Vatican. Dozens of International Television Stations, Newspaper Offices, and Radio Stations sent hundreds of Interview Vans, which were invited into St. Paul's Cathedral Square. Hundreds of Reporters were spread throughout the alleys, their cameras, recorders, and other equipment pointed at the massive square. Dozens of legally permitted Interview Helicopters hovered in the sky with annoying buzzing sounds. The daring Photographers practically hung themselves outside the cabins, greedily filming everything below with their cameras. Well-trained Papal Knights tightly monitored the Interview Vans and Reporters one-on-one.
Facing hundreds of Media outlets and hundreds of millions of Believers in front of their televisions, the newly appointed Pope Hyde wore a humble expression. His right hand was palm forward, smiling very gently: "Many Believers say that our revision of the Bible is a disrespect to the Lord, but this is the Divine Will we received!"
Following Hyde's gaze, countless Reporters looked up in surprise. They were astonished to see over a dozen tall, thin figures floating dozens of meters in the air. Behind them, white wings gently flapped. Angels bearing pure white wings soared into the sky accompanied by pleasant hymns. Wherever these Angels passed, the Plants and Trees became more vibrant, and even the Minor Injuries and Illnesses on the bodies of Ordinary People on the ground instantly healed.
One figure slowly descended a few meters. His body had transformed into a hundred-meter-tall form, flowing with Golden Light like a Pure Gold Statue. A Giant Golden Halo slowly rotated behind him, emitting a Deafening Roar. A pair of Giant Wings extended from behind his shoulders, and the sky was filled with strange Golden Light Spots drifting. Six golden, blade-like light wings extended straight out behind him, reaching over a hundred meters long. Three massive Golden Halos roared, rotating around two figures tightly embracing each other. Trillions of tiny Golden Divine Scripts flashed in the air, emitting a Deafening Roar. The sound was as if millions of Gods were chanting sutras in the sky.
"We are the Apostles of God. As Earth faces the Alien Giant Beast Invasion, we have come to this world to protect the Lord's Believers and also to proclaim his teachings. The Bible has misinterpreted his teachings; the Lord has commanded us to come and correct it!" His voice had a magical power, as if amplified by hundreds of large loudspeakers, resounding throughout the Vatican.
Thus, just as seen in all movies and television series, when anomalies occur, large numbers of Police Officers and personnel from certain Special Departments are mobilized like ants from a disturbed nest. S.H.I.E.L.D., including various lesser-known departments worldwide that deal with Supernatural Crime, exploded into action. God, from the moment Thor arrived on Earth, had lost its veil of mystery to the Important Figures on Earth.
Alien Invasion? This was the Analysis Report on the desks of the Person in Charge of various Powerful Authorities / Agencies. What exactly did these aliens want to do? What connection did they have with the Alien Forces on the other side of those Wormholes? What did the Vatican want to do? One must know The Church had a criminal record; wasn't the terrorist attack at Leon Base orchestrated by The Church's so-called Angels?
Just as they were about to take targeted measures, the red telephone on their office desks rang.
S.H.I.E.L.D., Helicarrier.
Director Hill, who had received the information early, drank coffee and muttered softly while watching the Surveillance Satellite footage: "Who wrote the script for these Divine Manifestations? Lane, you truly have no talent for drama. These lines are absolutely terrible!"
Hill sighed and suppressed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Action Report. She picked up a newly revised Bible from her office desk, opened it, and the first page read: God - Eastern is Haotian, Western is God. In the Vatican, and in front of their televisions, countless Believers, seeing the manifesting Gods, crossed themselves in prayer one after another.
Heaven Dimension, no, Heavenly Court Dimension.
Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Warriors were busy building the Heavenly Court from scratch. They paved the ground with White Jade, used gold as pillars, and glazed tiles as roofing, erecting thirty-three palaces, all situated above the cloud layer.
Tang Song sat beside a Great Hall whose framework had been erected, petting a cat, watching a stream of golden, bright, almost substantial Power of Faith, like a great river, rushing into the Milky White Pond before him. This seemed like a signal. Tang Song's Mystic Eye could see streams of Power of Faith suddenly rushing out from every corner of Earth. These streams of Power of Faith, accompanied by the sound of waves, surged into the pond engraved with Ancient Seal Script for Immortal Transformation Pond. A sesame-seed-sized golden light spot immediately appeared in the pond. The light spot transformed into a flower bud, which grew and bloomed under the infusion of Power of Faith. Then, a Yellow Turban Warrior walked out from within the flower bud.
"Indeed, in the face of Natural and Man-Made Disasters, the People of the World are much more devout when they Pray to Gods and Buddhas!"
