13. The Secret Story of Hydra. The Dragon and the Hammer (Part 2)(1/2)
In the Hydra bunker decades ago, which was accidentally discovered by Vivian's fall, there are creatures that make people feel scared.
A Titan frozen in giant ice.
After seeing this thing with his own eyes, Merlin finally knew why Naui and Hydra had to dig such a deep fortress to hide this terrifying giant beast.
In the 40-meter-high glacier in front of them, they could only barely see one-third of the body of this Titan. It looked like a terrifying dragon covered with golden scales.
Its wings are closed and sealed in the glacier. Its body width is definitely more than 200 meters. If its wings are spread, it will definitely be at least 500 meters.
Merlin had seen the sleeping flame Titan Raton, the kong walking in the mountains, and the terrifying beast Godzilla living in the ocean.
But each of them was not as oppressive as the frozen Titan in front of them. Moreover, unlike other Titans' simple wildness, the terrifying creature in front of them had a trace of evil spirit that could not be ignored just from the appearance.
It is not like an ancient god, but more like a demon who challenges the gods.
"Oh my God"
Beside Merlin, Dr. Serizawa took off his glasses with his hands trembling, and he said:
"This Devil"
“It has three heads”
Yes, it has three heads.
On the body as huge and bloated as a mountain of flesh as a terrified glance, three slender necks as snakes extended. Like the body, the neck of the giant beast was covered with scales embellished with gold, and at the top of the three necks were three hideous and huge heads.
The head is like a dragon in Eastern mythology, with nostrils like horses and lions. Each head has sharp horns that extend outward, but the dragon horns are not as majestic as the rumors, but instead they are like the horns of demons.
This put a layer of tyranny and haze on the giant beast.
Its three heads were frozen in different positions above its body. On the platform where Merlin and the other two were on, you could see the outline reflected in the unclear ice cube.
Observing a Titan at such a close distance is a very challenging task for human will. Aside Merlin, Dr. Serizawa's body has been trembling, not knowing whether it is because of excitement or fear.
Merlin thinks the latter may be more.
"It has two tails, feet supporting the body, but without claws."
Merlin was suspended in the air. Relying on Icarus's contour detection of the creatures inside the ice, he soon saw the full picture of this three-headed dragon-shaped titan. After all, he had seen too many bizarre things. After a brief surprise, he no longer felt too much.
On Icarus' lenses, clear data was beating.
"When the head and tail were completely straightened, the height was 159 meters, while the curled wings were completely spread out, with a wingspan of 518 meters, which was nearly twice as high as Raton."
Merlin whispered:
"Based on its size, its weight is at least 100,000 tons."
"As long as it flies, it can easily create a storm."
Vivian, who was lying on the stretcher, looked pale and said:
"If it flies high enough, the storm can even tear the ecology of the stratosphere. I can understand the mutation of Godzilla and Raton's body shape, because it is the life form that has appeared on Earth. Although they are also terrifying and weird, they are more of an alienation. The one in front of us doesn't look like the original species of the earth."
“We should be glad it’s still sleeping.”
Dr. Serizawa quickly recorded the data of the Titan in front of him in his notebook, and he said:
"It gives me a bad feeling. Although it is majestic, it is not unsacred."
"sacred?"
Merlin slowly landed on the ground. He raised his head and looked at the Titan in front of him who was sealed in the glacier. He said:
"The other Titans are not sacred. Sometimes it's really hard for me to understand the brain circuits of you biologists, but if I were you, I would never want to wake it up."
“No one is that crazy.”
Dr. Serizawa said:
"It is different from Godzilla and kong. No one knows what it will do after it wakes up. Just like Raton on Mona Island, we will build a permanent research station here to monitor its life activities at all times."
"Shield Depth will also send a defensive force to settle here."
Merlin said to Dr. Serizawa in an unrefutable tone:
"If the nuclear bomb cannot kill Godzilla, then it will definitely not kill the monster in front of us. We must be prepared in advance, and it may be a good defense plan to directly eliminate the soul through the barrier of our bodies."
He looked back at the monsters in the glacier and said:
"The premise is that this guy has a soul to be destroyed."
Dr. Serizawa did not express his objection. The creature in front of him obviously exceeded the Imperial Organization's perception of Titans. Whether it is kong or Godzilla, they don't care about human gaze at them, but it is not necessarily true that the monster in front of him looks full of violence and madness.
"If Naui had discovered it decades ago, why didn't they want to release it when they were on the verge of failure?"
Vivian said in confusion:
"According to the madness at that time, this kind of life-threatening behavior is not impossible."
"Maybe, even the real madman is afraid to release the consequences of it."
Merlin said:
"Of course, it may be blocked."
"Who is it?"
Vivian asked.
Merlin glanced at her and said in confusion:
"What you were injured is your legs, not your brain, right? Who else can stop you?"
"Godzilla!"
Dr. Serizawa told the answer.
"It's Godzilla, it comes to this place every year, maybe to see the situation of the frozen Titan. The entrance to this bunker should have been built on the surface of the ice field, but it was buried like a glacier that was broken from the center, covering the upper part of the underground castle, and forming the ice cap in the passage of time."
"The two most terrifying monster kings may be their destined enemies, and perhaps they had already begun fighting each other before the birth of human civilization."
"Those are the things you need to figure out."
Merlin said:
"Another Titan was found, which is a big event for the Imperial Organization and the World Security Council. It can be predicted that you will be very busy in the next time. So, let's hurry up, Professor Serizawa, and Vivian, this underground castle has a secret room on the other end."
"If we find a hidden Titan here, then I believe that the secret hidden in the secret room on the other end will not disappoint me."
"But you might want to stay here more."
Meilin glanced at the expressions of Dr. Serizawa and Vivian. Both of their eyes were already on the frozen beast in front of them. Meilin couldn't pull them away.
So he shook his head and said:
"Then I'll go there alone."
The moment Merlin turned around, he narrowed his eyes.
On his glasses, the fortress, which was advancing towards the tunnel on the other side, was projecting the picture to Merlin. Compared to the quietness of this branch road hidden by Titans, on the other side, the fortress was encountered some "trouble".
Judging from some difficult-to-ignore traces sent by the fortress’s information collector, there are still people moving in the underground fortress that has been covered with decades!
And there are quite a few people.
It might be better for Dr. Serizawa and Vivian to stay here.
They are all sympathetic scientists. Merlin doesn't want to execute those Naui elements who should have died decades ago, but don't know how to survive until now, and they will be blocked by them.
After a while, Merlin returned to the fork in the road and then walked into the tunnel on the other side.
Unlike the tunnel that extends downward along the Titan, the passage here is crooked and more like a maze.
There was a smell of blood in the labyrinth-like passage. The guys hiding here were trying to stop the armed reconnaissance of the fortress, but were counterattacked by the defense robot.
Merlin walked through the maze like a ghost, and soon, he saw a corpse in a corner.
It was a guy with white hair, wearing a black SS uniform and a red mark on his arms, but judging by his pale skin, this guy may have never left the bunker in his decades of surviving.
His abdomen was pierced by bullets from the fortress and he died of excessive bleeding.
This made Merlin a little regretful. Maybe he could dig out some secrets from this guy's memory, but it didn't matter. Merlin stood up and looked deeper into the bunker, where there should be someone there.
Those lunatics who remained loyal to Hitler almost 68 years after the end of World War II.
The intelligent war machine of the fortress was designed for modern warfare. Its killing power is extremely amazing and is equipped with the most advanced biological scanner. The naui molecules hiding in the dark cannot escape the bullets fired by the fortress's rifles. When Merlin arrived at the deepest part of the bunker, there were only two remaining armed personnel here.
Under Merlin's order, the fortress, which was about to shoot and kill the last two armed men, put down the guns. The two guys who were forced into the corner saw Merlin slowly walk out of the darkness, and the robot that slaughtered the entire bunker like a demon stood beside him respectfully.
So, these two lucky guys knew that the person in front of him was the culprit for the massacre of them.
"Long live Hitler!"
An older guy took out the grenade from his waist, shouted crazy slogans, and rushed towards Meilin, intending to die with him, but Meilin snapped his fingers gently, and the man's running movement was stunned. The grenade with the latch in his hand flew out and was falling into Meilin's hand.
Merlin pinched the grenade that was about to explode with his hand. After a moment, with a low dull sound, the grenade exploded in his hand, splashing a rolling black mist. The black mist quickly recovered into a palm without a trace of scars. This scene made the two guys in Naui uniforms in front of him completely despaired.
They met a superhuman.
"come over!"
Merlin shook the fine pieces in his hand, and his fingers squeezed out the Yaxifa seal in the air, and he said in a deep voice:
To be continued...
