"Here!"After confirming her discovery again, Simmons pointed to a specific part of the data in her hands.
"What is it? Looks normal to me—nothing different from the rest."Standing beside her, Fitz compared the data but didn't notice anything unusual.
"It's not the same. The earlier data was all about the MUTO's vocal patterns, but this… isn't."Simmons pointed at a segment of data that seemed partially obscured.
"Right here…"Once Simmons indicated the exact section, even Fitz began to feel something was off—though not being a biologist, he wasn't sure if his instinct was correct.
"What does it mean? Is there really a difference?"Like Fitz, Coulson had no scientific background—possibly even less. So once Simmons highlighted the anomaly, he was still lost and asked without hesitation.
"It's a response. Something answered the MUTO's call."
"A response? You mean something was communicating with it?"Ward, standing nearby, looked stunned by what he'd just heard. After all, only another monster should be able to respond to a creature like this. But the Emperor Project had previously stated only one monster had successfully hatched and escaped. So how could there be another?
"Are you sure only one creature hatched in the Philippines?"Unlike the others, Clark was certain there were two MUTOs. And the other one—was even bigger and stronger.
"I need to report this immediately. It's clear now: a huge part of the Emperor Project's intelligence was deliberately hidden from the Security Council."Realizing that these monsters could communicate over long distances, Coulson's thoughts jumped to a terrifying conclusion—what if the dead MUTO had already sent a signal to its counterpart before Clark killed it?
And from what he'd witnessed tonight, Coulson knew for sure: that second MUTO wasn't dormant because the Emperor Project contained it well—it simply chose not to emerge yet. Honestly, the so-called containment measures around these monsters were like toys—completely ineffective.
If the other MUTO really was still out there, and received word of its mate's death, there's no way it would stay hidden.
From this moment on, S.H.I.E.L.D. needed to prepare for its biggest crisis since the Chitauri invasion—a full-scale giant monster attack.
At that very moment, Yucca Mountain in Nevada—a known nuclear waste storage site—began to shake violently. The place was usually quiet, with very few personnel stationed there.
Since the U.S. is a seismically active region, the soldiers guarding the site didn't think much of the tremor. Yucca Mountain's facilities had been built to the highest safety standards—minor quakes were no real concern.
But just behind the mountain, hidden from view, was a massive crater—and next to it, a giant creature that looked 90% identical to the MUTO Clark had just killed.
However, this new MUTO was much larger—though wingless and incapable of flight, it was twice the size of the male. Towering over 100 meters, its sheer size alone radiated dominance.
Unlike the MUTO raised in Japan, this one had been secretly kept beneath Yucca Mountain from a young age—because the scientists knew its food source was nuclear waste.
The Emperor Project had allowed it to feast freely to see how large such a creature could grow. Otherwise, who in their right mind would store a radiation-eating monster inside a mountain full of nuclear waste?
Thanks to the endless food supply, this MUTO grew fast—and grew huge. But as a species whose sole biological purpose was reproduction, this female MUTO stayed behind, waiting for the male MUTO in Japan to mature.
During the wait, the two MUTOs still communicated regularly, building a bond.
But just now, the female MUTO received a shocking signal:Her only mate… was dead.
She had waited so long—they had never even met—and now he was gone.The grief was overwhelming. She could no longer stay put.
She had to go.She had to find where her mate had died.And if it was true, and he really was gone…Then she would make the entire human race pay.
Not long after the female MUTO left Yucca Mountain, satellites in orbit detected her. A creature of such size could not go unnoticed.
The two key organizations—Project Monarch, which studied giant monsters, and S.H.I.E.L.D., now a global security arm under the Avengers—received alerts simultaneously.
A giant unidentified life form had been sighted near Las Vegas, Nevada.
At that moment, Nick Fury had just finished reading Coulson's report when he received the new intelligence.
With his prior knowledge of the MUTOs, he immediately understood what was happening.
His fears had come true.
Those scientists in the Emperor Project—they might be brilliant with brains, but not an ounce of foresight. They had kept a highly dangerous, emotionally unstable MUTO larva in a literal nuclear buffet, letting it grow unchecked.
And now—it was loose.
But Nick Fury didn't waste time brooding.
This was why he'd sent Coulson to find Clark in the first place—he had anticipated this outcome.
Now, receiving confirmation of the second MUTO's movement, he immediately sent a message to Coulson's team, telling them to head to Las Vegas at once.
He also called Tony Stark and the Avengers, informing them of the urgency.
Once the Avengers were assembled, Fury finally let out a deep breath.
What would happen next was out of his hands.
But just as he began to relax, a sudden thought struck him.
He immediately picked up the phone……and dialed a secret number.
