It raised its head and let out a roar that shook the entire planet!
"Aooooh!!!"
The roar transformed into tangible sound waves and energy impacts, powerful enough to instantly obliterate a human city.
Naruto flew down from the Ghost Ship, hovering before this planet-sized behemoth, as minuscule as a speck of dust.
Golden light flickered around him, his Sage Mode Cloak aflame, resisting the terrifying sound waves and radiation impacts released by Planet Godzilla.
Planet Godzilla's massive, deep pupils, burning with an eerie blue light, suddenly locked onto the tiny figure before it, which, though small, exuded astonishing energy.
The instinct for destruction drove it to crush this 'bug' that had awakened it.
However, just before it could launch an attack, a deeper power, originating from its fundamental existence, caused its movements to slightly falter.
Planet Godzilla's enormous head lowered slightly, drawing closer to Naruto, its nostrils expelling hot air like a hurricane.
It seemed to be confirming something.
Moments later, the furious desire for destruction in its eyes gradually subsided, replaced by surprise, and even a hint of—reverence.
Planet Godzilla did not attack Naruto; it merely let out a much lower, rumbling growl, like muffled thunder, then slowly lowered its body, displaying an instinctive submission and acknowledgment of its master.
It recognized Naruto's identity.
Player!
A god with his own character card.
"Is this the effect of the character card? It seems rather ordinary."
A glint of light flashed in Naruto's eyes as he realized that the character card had absolute binding power over the character, but not absolute control!
"Never mind, let's first see if I can take you out of the Goblin Slayer World.
"Where I stand, there is shadow—Dark Dusk Court, open!"
Naruto let out a low growl, and a mass of ink-black shadow surged from beneath his feet, then spread out in all directions like a fisherman casting his net, forming an boundless expanse of shadow.
Under the shroud of shadow, even the colossal Planet Godzilla was enveloped by the Dark Dusk Court.
Within the space of the Dark Dusk Court, Planet Godzilla floated in the void like a doll, completely still.
Surrounding it were countless shadows, like an army, encircling it!
Big and small, they showed no fear of Planet Godzilla.
It was the Shadow Army!!
After an internal glance at the Dark Dusk Court, Naruto's gaze left this shadow space, and he muttered:
"Log out of the Underground City!"
"Whoosh!"
Naruto's figure instantly vanished from the Goblin Slayer World.
Upon returning to the Fire Shadow World, Naruto immediately checked the Dark Dusk Court.
He had a conjecture: that the Awakened God was the Awakened God of the Goblin Slayer World, and the individual formed by inserting the character card into the slot of this Goblin Slayer game might not be able to leave the Goblin Slayer World at will.
This would lead to two possible outcomes—
Planet Godzilla, manifested in the Goblin Slayer World, would be unable to leave the Goblin Slayer World and would vanish as a data stream upon departure.
Alternatively, Planet Godzilla could leave the Goblin Slayer World, but because Naruto was not in the Goblin Slayer World, he would lose the authority of the Awakened God, making it impossible to control Planet Godzilla.
Naruto already knew which outcome it was.
A earth-shattering battle erupted in the Dark Dusk Court.
The Shadow Army, led by the Black Dragon Monarch, clashed with Planet Godzilla.
While Planet Godzilla was formidable, it struggled to gain the upper hand against the Shadow Army, which won by sheer numbers.
After all, this Shadow Army was entirely composed of high-ranking species.
Each possessing extraordinary abilities.
"As expected, the authority of the Awakened God has disappeared."
Naruto glanced at the back of his hand.
The golden eye pattern was gone.
His perception of his followers was also gone.
He could no longer command Planet Godzilla.
Without hesitation, Naruto took out the Bronze-level Underground City Key and returned to the Goblin Slayer World.
The authority of the Awakened God returned once more.
"Stop immediately!!"
Naruto's majestic and irresistible voice echoed through the Dark Dusk Court.
The Shadow Army and Planet Godzilla, who had been fighting fiercely moments before, all stopped instantly, standing still in place.
Naruto looked at Planet Godzilla, his expression changing erratically.
"Since you are uncontrollable when you leave the Goblin Slayer World, I can only 'kill' you."
Naruto's figure vanished instantly, reappearing standing precisely in the center of Planet Godzilla's forehead, which was as vast as a plain!
"Take-Mikazuchi Mode · Activate!!"
Extreme power erupted once more.
Lightning and blue steam mixed with Sage Art Chakra. "Sage Art · Lightning Release · Lariat!!!"
He concentrated all the power of Take-Mikazuchi Mode into his hand blade, not to cause massive external trauma, but to—penetrate!
The ultimate power, combined with the penetrating force of Lightning Release, acted like the sharpest drill, instantly piercing through Planet Godzilla's skull defense, which was comparable to ultra-thick alloy steel plates, directly attacking its core life source!
"Aooo—!!!"
Planet Godzilla let out an earth-shattering roar of pain, its massive body instinctively thrashing wildly, attempting to shake Naruto off. Destructive radioactive heat rays uncontrollably condensed and fired from its mouth, plowing the surrounding sea again, carving the ocean and sweeping out one chasm after another!
At the same time, Planet Godzilla's body cells began to regenerate at super speed and produce a super-high output electromagnetic field, thereby creating a negative refractive index barrier [Asymmetric Permeability Field] beneath its skin, capable of blocking physical attacks, preparing to repel Naruto.
"As expected of the King of Monsters, capable of easily withstanding thermonuclear attacks, with incredibly tenacious vitality and astonishing defense!"
"Blood Demon Art—Time Etching Seal!!"
With a "thump."
A giant clock appeared behind Naruto, and a blood-red field of stopped time immediately spread out, enveloping the entire Planet Godzilla, preventing its countless cells from regenerating and from producing an electromagnetic field.
"Whoosh!"
As for Naruto, he transformed into a brilliant blue-white lightning bolt, shuttle ing through Planet Godzilla's colossal body, instantly destroying multiple vital centers.
"Clang—"
Time returned to normal once more.
With a flash of lightning, Naruto emerged, hovering in the air, looking down at Planet Godzilla.
Planet Godzilla's massive body suddenly stiffened, the light burning in its eyes rapidly dimming.
Finally, this King of Monsters let out one last unwilling wail, and then, like a collapsing mountain, it crashed down, completely losing its life force.
The sea surged with towering waves!
Naruto did not stop.
He closed his eyes, and his aura suddenly changed.
The golden Chakra receded like a tide, replaced by a deep, cold shadow power, as if it could devour all light.
In the depths of his pupils, a king-like coldness and majesty emerged.
Shadow Monarch!
"Shadow Invasion."
"Dominate—!!"
Naruto chanted in a low voice, as if issuing a decree.
Infinite darkness and shadow, like a living entity, spread out from beneath his feet, quickly covering Planet Godzilla's immense corpse as it sank into the sea.
