The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapter 120 Chapter 156 Chapter 157 Slaanesh's Chosen Emma Russell (I)

"Look, this is a MUTO eggshell."

Emma Russell's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw this.

Because the two relatively complete egg shells in front of him are almost exactly the same as the two giant egg shells that had been found in the mining area in the Philippines.

This means that they come from the same species - MUTO!
So Emma Russell immediately ordered:
"Everyone, immediately conduct a comprehensive scan of this [Egg Breeding Room]... If I'm not mistaken, we don't have much time left."

The eight accompanying surveyors immediately became busy.

Emma Russell and her male assistant squatted in front of a receiving device shaped like a laptop, waiting for the final results.

Using the scanners in their hands, the explorers can continuously feed back the internal structure of the entire cave in the form of data to the computer equipment in front of them.

Then, through a series of analysis, integration, and calculations, a 3D mapping model of the entire cave is automatically established.

10%...25%...57%...88%...

Just when the surveying and mapping progress was about to be completed, the slightly anxious voice of the person in charge came from the communicator.

"Dr. Emma, ​​we just received an early warning from the Earthquake Bureau. A 6.2 magnitude earthquake occurred in a sea area several hundred kilometers away.

The earthquake waves are likely to affect the already fragile geological structure of this pit, potentially causing a large-scale collapse, so please use the elevator to return to the surface as soon as possible."

"Dr. Emma, ​​should we return to the surface first and then come down again to retest after the shockwaves have passed?"

The male assistant picked up the walkie-talkie and wanted to call other surveyors to leave, but it was immediately snatched away by Emma Russell angrily.

"No, the survey is only just about to be completed. I must know the internal structure here to make an accurate decision..."

"This concerns the safety of all mankind. No one can disturb my work at this time!"

As she spoke, she actually turned off the communicator that could connect to the upper part, and continued to squat in front of the device waiting for the final result.

Soon, the entire cave began to tremble slightly, and from time to time some small stones fell from above.

Emma Russell remained unmoved and used the walkie-talkie to contact other surveying members to continue the task.

95%…100%
however.

Just when the receiving device shows that data collection is complete, it automatically enters the next stage of analysis and integration.

Accompanied by a dull bang, the entire cave suddenly shook violently, and a large amount of rubble fell from the sky.

"Dr. Emma, ​​hurry up, the cave is collapsing, we have to leave here immediately..."

The male assistant was the first to react. He immediately held the receiving device against his chest, and then, without caring about the surveyors who had just walked out of the cave behind him, he grabbed Emma Russell and ran towards the cage.

"Ah, my hand was broken..."

"Dr. Emma, ​​please don't abandon us..."

Emma Russell remained indifferent to the constant cries for help and wails from the surveyors behind her.

Right now, all she could see was the receiving device that was currently calculating.

however.

Just when the two men successfully reached the cage, the male assistant's left foot accidentally got stuck in a crack on the ground while he was running, and he fell to the ground.

But even so, he still held the receiver tightly in his hand.

"Dr. Emma, ​​help me, my foot seems to be broken..."

The male assistant tried to move his left foot, but then felt a piercing pain.

So he had to ask for help from Emma Russell, who was almost knocked down by him.

"I'm sorry, Jamie!"

Emma Russell did not hesitate at all. In the male assistant's incredulous and desperate eyes, she forcibly snatched the receiving device from his hand, then rushed to the cage without looking back and pressed the up button.

Rumbling--

The next second, before the male assistant could say anything, the area where he was was buried by a large number of huge rocks falling from the sky.

At the same time, the tunnel leading to the [Egg Breeding Room] was completely blocked.

"Damn machine, hurry up and raise it for me."

"This is a matter of life and death for all of humanity. I absolutely cannot die here in vain!"

Looking at the stone walls around her collapsing, Emma Russell held the receiver tightly in her arms, and kept praying in her heart that she could reach the ground safely.

however.

Just as the cage was getting closer and closer to the cave above, a huge rock suddenly fell towards Emma Russell.

Ow! ! !
Faced with the sudden crisis of death, a purple rune suddenly appeared on Emma Russell's forehead, and then she opened her mouth as if possessed by a demon, and let out a [Psychic Scream] towards the huge rock falling from the sky.

boom--

The sound waves containing tremendous spiritual energy stirred up water-like ripples in the air, directly blowing the huge rock into pieces.

"Dr. Emma, ​​are you okay?"

When the cage was successfully raised to a safe area, the earthquake was over.

The person in charge quickly stepped forward and brought Emma Russell, who was slumped on the ground, to a safe area. He glanced at the empty cage and asked with a slightly trembling voice, "The others?"

"It's all down there."

Emma Russell said this casually, and then she couldn't wait to turn on the receiving device. After confirming again and again that the device was not damaged, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as she was holding the receiving device and preparing to leave.

A man in work clothes opposite her suddenly rushed towards her like a madman.

He grabbed Emma Russell by the collar, pointed in the direction of the pit, and asked with tears streaming down his face:

"You damn bitch, why didn't you bring them up here as soon as you were alerted... Then no one would have died."

"Yamaguchi, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Seeing this, the person in charge was afraid that this would anger Emma Russell, so he scolded his men and bowed to apologize:

"I'm sorry, Dr. Emma. His wife was one of the surveyors who just accompanied you down into the pit, so please forgive his disrespectful behavior."

Emma Russell's mood was extremely bad at this time, and the death of her male assistant was a great blow to her.

After all, during the time she was separated from her husband Mark Russell, he had been taking good care of her day and night...

Facing Yamaguchi's aggressive questioning, he immediately retorted with a ferocious expression:

"Do you think you're the only one who lost family? I also lost my right-hand man in this disaster."

"What's more, each of them had been informed in advance of the possibility of accidents and dangers before participating in this mission."

"People are dying every day in this world. If we can't stop the disaster that's about to happen, Godzilla will be in danger... I mean, the sacrifices they make now will definitely not be in vain."

"I will use this valuable data to save more lives. Isn't that more meaningful than the life and death of one person?"

In fact, compared to Godzilla, the life and death of these people are insignificant in Emma Russell's eyes.

She even selfishly believed that as long as it could help her successfully complete the surveying and mapping task, then any sacrifice, no matter how great, would be worthwhile and meaningful.

"Let go, I'm going to get back to work!"

Emma Russell pushed the other person away forcefully, obviously not wanting to waste any more time talking to these ignorant dwarfs.

But right now.

Yamaguchi, who had just been pushed open, seemed to suddenly fall into some extreme pain. In full view of everyone, he let out a series of shrill wails, and then jumped into the pit behind him.

……

[Reputation +1, +1, +1...]

[Collectable souls detected, subspace soul count +1]

……

This scene shocked everyone.

Only Emma Russell noticed something unusual.

Because at the moment of Yamaguchi's death, she unexpectedly felt an unprecedented joy, which immediately swept away the gloomy emotions in her heart.

This feeling is different from any sensory stimulation.

It has even surpassed the pleasure that can be brought by sexual relations between men and women.

It's a brand new version that Emma has never experienced before, and it makes people want to indulge in it.

Before I knew it, a warm current flowed down, soaking my loose trousers.

Fortunately, the windbreaker covered him and his trousers were dark, so he was not discovered for the time being.

Somewhere in the dark, Emma Russell felt as if a magical voice echoed in her ears.

"You made the right choice and shouldn't be blamed. Those people don't understand your original intention at all. You just need to follow your heart..."

"And this joy is the reward you deserve."

In order to prevent others from noticing anything unusual on her body, Emma Russell quickly grabbed her windbreaker with one hand, picked up the receiving device with the other, and quickly left the scene.

…………

……

[Imperial Organization Headquarters].

In an office.

Emma Russell sat at her desk, waiting for the 3D modeling system to complete the final load, while supporting her forehead with her hand, thinking about something absentmindedly.

She had been feeling somewhat uneasy since the moment she returned from the island country.

I always inadvertently recall the extreme joy I felt when Yamaguchi died.

So much so that she has no interest in doing anything now.

at the same time……

That strange sound wave that shattered the boulder?
Yamaguchi who suddenly collapsed and committed suicide?
And the whispers echoing in your ears?
The scenes that happened before kept replaying in her mind.

In just one day, so many strange things happened to her one after another.

This made Emma very distressed.

Because she has always believed in science and followed rationality, she suddenly found that these abnormal phenomena could not be explained by science at all.

"Damn it, what's wrong with me?"

At this moment, Vivian Graham suddenly pushed the door open in a hurry and said to Emma, ​​who looked tired:

"Emma, ​​the Supreme MUTO reappeared not long ago and attacked a nuclear power plant on the French coastline. Godzilla also appeared there afterwards..."

"This attack came without warning, and Godzilla was badly injured in the battle."

"what happened?"

Emma Russell shook her head, temporarily putting aside the many questions in her mind, and said with a frown:

"The Supreme MUTO's previous two attacks targeted nuclear submarines, but this time it chose a nuclear power plant... What caused this sudden change in its behavior?"

"Vivian, I want to see the content of that video."

The latter then projected the corresponding video onto the computer screen on his desk, and as the screen switched, he explained in detail:
"This is a high-definition picture taken by our staff on the scene using an MQ-9 drone.

It can be clearly seen that Godzilla was in a state of suppression throughout the battle with the Supreme MUTO. Even under the dual influence of the opponent's [Electromagnetic Pulse] and [Seismic Wave], he was unable to release [Atomic Breath] normally..."

"Although it's unclear why the Supreme MUTO gave up the attack and suddenly left, it's certain that Godzilla's injuries were more serious."

The situation of Godzilla in the video is extremely bad.

Its body was covered with scars from battle, and even the dorsal fin on its tail was broken in several places.

Emma Russell stared at the scarred Godzilla, her face full of shock and confusion.

The [King of Monsters] who was worshipped as a god by the [Monarch Organization] actually lost the battle with the Supreme Mutos?
This made Emma Russell feel like her faith was about to collapse.

And if the Supreme Mutos continues to grow stronger.

Then it is very likely that the next time these two Titans meet again, it will be the day of Godzilla's death.

Drop drop-

Just now.

The 3D modeling system on the desktop finally completed the final loading.

Emma Russell hurried forward, and after seeing the 3D scan results of the [Egg Incubator], a look of understanding suddenly appeared on her face.

"I knew it was like this. It's exactly the same as the one back then..."

Vivian Graham came over and asked curiously, "What do you mean exactly the same?"

Emma Russell did not answer her question directly. Instead, she picked up the instrument and said as she walked out:

"Vivian, please call Dr. Serizawa and the others to the conference room for me."

……

A few minutes later.

An impromptu high-level meeting officially began.

Emma Russell stood in front of an electronic screen and slowly began to speak: "Mythology is our compass... Before this, I never understood the true meaning of this sentence.

But now, with the emergence of the Supreme MUTO, I can finally prove that this statement is not an exaggeration."

"Don't rush to ask questions, I will give you detailed answers one by one later."

"First, please take a look at two geological structure maps!"

Emma Russell first pointed to two very similar-looking drawings and introduced them:
"In 1999, we discovered an intact female MUTO spore and a prematurely hatched eggshell in a mine in the Philippines."

"And just yesterday, I discovered another place on the island... and there were two eggshells exactly like this one."

"After testing, I found that the geological ages of these two [brooding chambers] are completely different, about a thousand years apart... But what's incredible is that their internal structures are almost identical."

"So I used 3D mapping technology to simulate the interior outlines of the two [brooding rooms]."

With Emma Russell's light press on the screen, the original two-dimensional survey map immediately turned into a more three-dimensional and intuitive 3D image.

"Ah, this is..."

All the senior executives, including Serizawa Ichiro, showed surprise on their faces.

Because those two 3D images actually have almost identical appearances to Godzilla.

"I'm sure you've all noticed, but these two [brooding chambers] aren't actually naturally occurring geological structures. Instead, they originate from two Titan creatures of the same species as Godzilla."

Emma Russell then transformed the image into the stone tablet with the Phoenician painting found in the British Museum.

"The reason I mentioned earlier that mythology is our compass is because this slab records the battle between a Titan creature similar to Godzilla and a Titan creature extremely similar to the Supreme MUTO."

"It depicts the abdomen of this Godzilla being pierced by two holes by the Supreme Mutos during the battle. After computer analysis and comparison, it can be preliminarily determined that

This should be the wound left by the Supreme MUTO's unique egg-laying organ during the attack."

Serizawa Ichiro frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "You mean to say that this Supreme MUTO wants its offspring to hatch and grow inside Godzilla like a parasite?"

"Yes."

Emma nodded heavily. "In fact, we can see this from the habits displayed by the male MUTO before hatching at the [Zangila Outpost]."

"The parasitic eggs implanted in Godzilla's body will feed on the energy in the atomic reactor, constantly weakening his strength, and eventually devouring him completely."

"And all signs indicate that there was more than one Titan creature like Godzilla in the world before, but in the end, they may have all died at the hands of the Supreme MUTO."

"That is to say... if we can't find a way to stop the Supreme MUTO, then it won't be long before we lose the most powerful guardian deity in human history!"

Upon hearing this, all the senior executives looked solemn.

Serizawa Ichiro asked tentatively: "Emma, ​​I guess you have a way to deal with it now, right?"

Emma Russell nodded at first, then shook her head and said helplessly, "Time is too tight right now. I can only think of a somewhat theoretical solution."

"tell me the story……"

"I discovered from the data recorded at the [Zangila Outpost] that before a MUTO egg hatches, it periodically releases a unique sonic pulse."

Emma Russell slowly spoke, expressing her suspicions. "For the Supreme MUTO, this is likely a signal of special significance... similar to its offspring, safely parasitizing Godzilla."

"The reason why the Supreme MUTO didn't kill Godzilla outright was because it needed a living Godzilla to continuously provide radiation energy for its embryonic incubation."

"This is also the reason why the Supreme Mutos never showed up before."

"Suppose we could repeat the same frequency of sonic pulses during the next Godzilla vs. Supreme MUTO battle.
It is very likely that this Godzilla killer will be deceived, so that it will leave on its own, or even fall back into a dormant state..."

"Of course, this only works if we can locate the Supreme MUTO's whereabouts in advance."

"Emma, ​​isn't your plan a bit too presumptuous?"

Mark Russell shook his head slightly and said with concern:
"Have you ever considered what dire consequences would result if this sonic pulse failed to deceive the enemy and instead angered the Supreme MUTO?"

Emma Rosseau was like a man who had taken gunpowder. She asked mercilessly, "Then may I ask, do you have a better way to deal with it?"

Mark Russell's expression froze for a moment, but luckily, Ichiro Serizawa intervened in time. "Emma is right. The Supreme MUTO becomes more powerful with each appearance. We must try before the situation gets out of control."

It has to be admitted that although Emma Russell's style of doing things is becoming more and more extreme, her talent is extremely outstanding.

Originally, Ichiro Serizawa wanted to take advantage of the incident in the island country to suppress Emma Russell, so as to make her more obedient and useful.

But now it seems that this matter should be left until the crisis of the Supreme Mutos is resolved.

In his opinion... no, it should be said that in the eyes of the vast majority of the top leaders of the [Monarch Organization], compared to the safety of Godzilla, sacrificing a few lives is simply insignificant.

"There is a situation..."

At this moment, Vivian Graham hurried in and reported:

"Our people have just monitored the Supreme MUTO's whereabouts. According to the computer's calculations, it will probably pass through the Azores in the eastern North Atlantic in a day."

"Are you turning around so soon?"

Emma Russell said to Serizawa Ichiro while packing her things:

"It's too late to do experiments now. I can only rush there immediately and try it directly."

"But I need some device that can generate strong sound waves..."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Serizawa Ichiro said with confidence, "I will prepare all the equipment you need before the plane takes off."

"But this time, you need Tarkan to go with you. He will keep you safe!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at a bearded man sitting in the corner.

"Thank you for your support..."

Before Emma Russell could even utter a word of thanks, her expression changed at lightning speed, and she looked at him with extreme dissatisfaction. "Is this really protection? I think it's more of surveillance, right?"

Then, regardless of whether everyone was embarrassed or not, he turned to the bearded man and said directly:
"Tarkan, let me tell you this in advance. As long as you don't interfere with my work, I can pretend you don't exist the entire time!"

After saying that, he left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment and hurried out.

Upon hearing this, the bearded man named Tarkan quickly smiled bitterly and stood up to follow. "Emma, ​​after all, I'm the director of the Crisis Response Department. Why are you so ruthless?"

…………

……

[Azores] Located in the eastern North Atlantic, it consists of 9 main islands, with a land area of ​​approximately 2344 square kilometers and a total population of approximately 20.

Due to its extremely important geographical location, it has long served as an important international aviation relay station between Western Europe, South America and West Africa, and an important supply point on the Atlantic shipping route.

The Port of Heroes on Terceira Island is the most prosperous and most populous town among the nine islands.

It has a total population of nearly 4.

In an open space outside the town of [Hero Port].

Nearly a hundred staff members of the [Emperor Organization] were conducting the final test adjustments on the large-scale audio equipment consisting of dozens of giant speakers and loudspeakers, just like setting up a large-scale concert venue.

Not far away, outside the cordon, hundreds of curious people had already gathered.

People speculated that there might be a film crew that wanted to shoot a musical movie here.

After all, no star has ever held a concert in Angra do Heroismo over the years.

"Wow, Emma, ​​this is a truly grand occasion..."

Tarkan Kafskoy smiled and said jokingly:
"Although I've attended many concerts by big stars, I've never seen anyone put on such a grand show."

"I believe you will give us a wonderful performance next time, right?"

Upon hearing this, Emma Russell glanced at him indifferently and said, "Although I am very grateful that you helped me coordinate the local connection matters in less than a day, you are still more likable when you keep your mouth shut."

"Ok, no problem."

Tarkan raised his hands with an expression that said, "I give up," and chose to keep quiet.

Although his position within the [Imperial Organization] is not low, and he is mainly responsible for crisis response-related matters, he can be said to be one of the powerful figures.

But after all, Emma Russell was appointed by Ichiro Serizawa after he came to power, and she was the person in charge of handling the Supreme MUTO incident, so she should bow her head when she should, and there is nothing shameful about it.

"Dr. Emma, ​​the sound system has been tested and adjusted."

At this time, a staff member came over and reported: "According to the news just received from headquarters, the Supreme Mutos is expected to pass by us in 20 minutes."

Emma Russell nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then walked to the mixing console. She first imported the audio related to the sonic pulses released by male MUTO eggs obtained from the [Zanjira Outpost] database into the [Orca Device].

Then they are fine-tuned to achieve exactly the same frequency.

"Emma, ​​now is the time..."

Tarkan Kafsgai checked the time and reminded.

"Success or failure depends on this one move."

Emma Russell found that her palms were covered with sweat without her knowing when.

If the plan to imitate the pulse emitted by the MUTO egg can be successful this time, then the Supreme MUTO will not continue to destroy nuclear facilities and seek out Godzilla for battle.

Even for many years to come, it will not appear again.

As the person who resolved this crisis without bloodshed, she will definitely have more say and greater power within the [Imperial Organization] in the future.

Buzz…! ! !
As Emma Russell pressed the start button on the Orca device.

Dozens of huge speakers connected to it simultaneously emit a rhythmic sound wave pulse.

Rumbling--

Suddenly, there was a violent tremor on the beach in front of the coast.

Immediately afterwards, a huge monster over a hundred meters in size broke out from the ground at a digging speed that was simply beyond the reach of humans.

It turned out to be the Supreme Mutos that the [Monarch Organization] had been looking for.

only.

As expected, the scene where the Supreme MUTO turned around and left after hearing the sonic pulse simulating the release of the MUTO egg did not happen.

Instead, he seemed to be enraged and rushed directly towards the area where Emma Russell and others were.

"Oh shit, it looks like it's coming towards us?"

Tarkan Kafsgai was horrified when he saw this. "Emma, ​​the sonic pulse you released didn't calm it down at all. Instead, it seems to be even more aggressive."

"We must run for our lives now..."

He immediately wanted to pull the other person away from this area.

"If you want to leave, go by yourself."

Emma Russell pushed it away and said stubbornly while checking the data on the [Oka Device]:

"Tarkan, are you blind?"

"The sonic pulse has clearly worked, and the Supremacy's current anger proves that my theory is correct."

"I feel like I'm close to the answer, so I have to find out where the problem lies."

"If you want to help, try to help me hold that big guy back first."

Tarquin Kafskoy was so angry that he almost cursed.

Do you really want to listen to what you are saying?
Even Godzilla can't hold back the Supreme MUTO, so how can I... be qualified?
however.

As the two were talking, the Supreme Mutos rushed over from the beach.

The spectators who were originally standing in front of the outer cordon suddenly fled in all directions.

But many people were still trampled into pieces.

Others were killed or injured by the boulders that flew up during the movement of the Supreme MUTO.

……

[Collectable souls detected, subspace soul count +1, +1, +1...]

[Reputation +1, +1, +1...]

……

"what?!"

Who would have thought that Emma Russell felt the extreme joy she had felt before again when she witnessed death and "heard" the wailing of the wounded.

And this time, it is even clearer and stronger than before.

Emma Russell felt as if her consciousness was being swallowed by an extreme speed.

At this moment, it seemed as if no other experience could compare to this.

The strong stimulation made her subconsciously close her legs, and her whole body began to tremble.

However, she soon discovered to her surprise that her sensitivity to "sound" had been enhanced to an "epic level" as if by some magical power.

She was able to clearly distinguish the cries for help and wails of the dying, as well as the thunderous heartbeat of the Supreme Mutona, in the most noisy and chaotic environment.

Even the frequency of the sonic pulses released by the Supreme MUTO in anger can be clearly distinguished.

So she didn't have time to think about it and quickly made corresponding adjustments to the [Oka Device].

Then, when the Supreme MUTO was about to rush in front of her, he picked up the [Orca Device] and released a sound wave pulse containing mysterious psychic energy in the direction of the distant town.

Ok? !
