Ch. 195 Two Decades of Mastery in This Punch
🕑 Added 2023-12-08 16:00:08 +0000 UTCIn front of Godzilla's tail, Russell appeared as tiny as an ant.
Even the thinnest part of Godzilla's tail was several times thicker than Russell's body.
However, despite this enormous size difference, Russell's right fist struck out and sent Godzilla's tail flying.
Grendel had initially planned for Godzilla to perform a graceful tail swing.
But he never expected Russell's strength to be at this level.
The tail, swung with force, was sent flying back by Russell's punch.
As Godzilla turned around, his legs wobbled, and he almost lost balance and fell to the ground.
How was this possible?
While Grendel constantly referred to Russell as "Your Majesty," his reason for doing so was due to the King's Serum's "Absolute Command," which could exert mental control that symbiotes couldn't resist.
He didn't deny Russell's strength. Among all the humans he had encountered, Russell was the strongest.
However, Grendel never thought that Russell's physical strength had reached an uncontestable level. Regardless of whether Russell had the King's Serum, he was still just a human with a normal physique. Even if he possessed greater physical strength than other humans, in the face of a colossal Titan like Godzilla, his physical strength was still insufficient.
Strictly speaking, Grendel's judgment was correct. Before gaining Kryptonian Heritage, especially before merging Kryptonian Heritage with Blessings of Wonder Woman into the evolution reward "Divine Power," Russell's physical strength was indeed incomparable to that of Titans like Godzilla.
But that was in the past.
Russell now wasn't the same as he used to be.
The emergence of the "Divine Power" evolution reward wasn't just a simple upgrade for him; it was a leap into a new era.
Neither Grendel nor Russell himself had anticipated just how terrifying his current physical strength had become.
With a punch, he sent Godzilla's tail flying. It left him somewhat incredulous as he looked at his right fist.
"Two decades of mastery in this punch, can you withstand it?"
This phrase flashed through Russell's mind.
Although thinking aimlessly during a battle could be fatal, Russell completely ignored this aspect at the moment.
It felt fantastic!
Very fantastic!
Extremely fantastic!
Russell glanced at his fist, then back at Godzilla, who had stabilized himself. He wore an eager expression on his face.
Godzilla, today, you'll have to endure a bit!
Russell didn't waste any more time and rapidly flew towards Godzilla.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Godzilla.
Once in front of Godzilla, Russell didn't hesitate. He threw a punch at Godzilla's massive head, which was larger than a heavy truck.
Bang!
Another punch breaking the sound barrier!
Russell's fist struck Godzilla's head, causing it to tilt slightly.
While this punch didn't inflict significant damage on Godzilla, it did leave him dazed.
Grendel had some understanding of Russell, but Godzilla was different. Godzilla had only encountered Russell twice. Apart from their cooperation in the performance on Oahu Island, they hadn't interacted in combat.
After being struck forcefully in the head by Russell, Godzilla seemed to somewhat understand why Grendel behaved so obediently.
This human was indeed extraordinary!
Although that's what Godzilla thought, he couldn't do anything right now because he couldn't control his body.
He couldn't control his body, but he still experienced the pain of being hit. This sensation was exceptionally unpleasant.
However, unpleasant as it was, he quickly realized the benefits of being possessed by a symbiote, especially by a first-generation symbiote dragon like Grendel.
The pain in his head vanished instantly.
Moreover, Godzilla felt that his strength was visibly increasing at an alarming rate, even though his physical size remained the same. He sensed that his body was being significantly enhanced, a delightful feeling that came instinctively with the continuous strengthening of his life.
While Godzilla enjoyed this feeling, similar to the process of evolution, Russell launched another attack.
This time, he didn't use his fists to attack Godzilla. After experiencing the previous two punches, he had a rough understanding of his current physical strength.
Now that he knew the extent of his physical strength, it was time to test his other abilities.
Russell's eyes began to emit a crimson-red light.
The next moment, two laser-like beams of scorching red heat shot directly towards Godzilla.
For Godzilla, the size of Russell's heat vision beams was like embroidery needles.
However, when these two relatively thin beams struck Godzilla's body, they effortlessly pierced through his tough skin, which could withstand missile strikes.
Scorching!
While Godzilla had an incredible tolerance for high temperatures compared to humans, he still experienced an unbearable scorching sensation from Russell's heat vision beams, which could melt most metals.
After Russell's heat vision beams penetrated Godzilla's tough skin, Grendel instinctively tried to repair Godzilla's injuries. However, he hadn't even begun the process when he chose to temporarily abandon it.
It wasn't that he didn't want to repair the injuries; he simply couldn't.
While Godzilla could withstand the elevated temperatures, Grendel couldn't.
Although the heat vision beams weren't flames, they inflicted more significant damage to symbiotes than flames.
Grendel gave up on repairing Godzilla's injuries—for the time being.
Although Godzilla wasn't pleased, Grendel still controlled his body, directing him to lunge at Russell.
Godzilla opened his massive jaws, seemingly intent on swallowing Russell whole.
While Godzilla's charge was impressive, to Russell's current state, it appeared slow-motion.
With a casual sidestep, he evaded Godzilla's attack. Seizing the opportunity when Godzilla opened his mouth, Russell fired his heat vision directly into Godzilla's mouth.
Roar!
Struck by the heat vision inside his mouth, Godzilla let out a deafening roar.
This wasn't the first time Russell had attacked a Titan's mouth. It seemed that Titans, including Godzilla, tended to expose their weakness— their mouths—in combat.
In comparison to Male MUTO, who had taken a direct hit from Russell's negatively charged energy sword in his mouth, causing an explosion that nearly blew his head off, Godzilla's tongue and mouth, though hit by the heat vision, sustained less damage.
If Godzilla were a human, he would describe the sensation as someone poking a hot needle into his tongue.
