Godzilla Earth: Origin

Chapter 2: The Birth of King Ghidorah! (2)

Venus, the second planet in the solar system.

As the planet closest to Earth in terms of average distance, it is one of the two extraterrestrial planets humans have set foot on.

Its atmospheric temperature reaches a scorching 500 degrees Celsius, and its surface is under an intense pressure of 90 atmospheres. Occasionally, highly corrosive acid rain sweeps across its surface.

If someone had mentioned the idea that Venus once nurtured extraterrestrial civilizations 200 years ago, they would likely have been ruthlessly mocked.

One hundred years ago, the period immediately after the nuclear war had just ended.

With the world in ruins, during that time, scientists of the World United Government reevaluated all the papers, technical documents, and data left behind by human governments before the nuclear war.

It was during this reevaluation that the scientists of the World United Government discovered a photograph taken by the North American hegemony in the 2040s, during the final stage of the second space race between North America, Europe, and East Asia. The photo depicted the Maxwell Mountains on Venus.

The content of the photo was quite astonishing, and the scientists present repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the photos and documents. After a series of validations, they became certain.

There might be remnants of an advanced civilization on Venus.

In those photos and documents, there were abnormal distributions of metals on the surface, faint outlines of protrusions and indentations that hinted at an ordered structure, and almost confirmed colossal pieces of metal.

They were almost certain that there was something non-geological on the surface of Venus, very likely the remains left behind by an advanced extraterrestrial life form, something humanity had been diligently searching for.

However, shortly after Venus was explored, the cause of the nuclear war occurred. Data on this topic came to an abrupt end.

At the thirteenth year after reporting this incident to their superiors, the scientists who were reevaluating these photos and documents conveyed their findings. The World United Government at that time took this matter very seriously.

In the thirteenth year after receiving the report, they launched a probe satellite to Venus, aimed at exploring the Maxwell Mountains. They took numerous photos of the region, surpassing the number taken during the previous exploration, and conducted local geological tests.

This exploration brought back numerous pieces of evidence, conclusively proving that an advanced civilization that surpassed humanity had indeed existed on Venus in the ancient past.

The exploration vehicle photographed hundreds of different extraterrestrial relics on the Maxwell Mountains, and it even entered some of them, capturing the interior structure of these buildings.

Through local surveys of the surface layers of various extraterrestrial relics, the exploration vehicle determined that the extraterrestrial relics on the surface of Venus were remains from 450 million years ago, during the Ordovician mass extinction.

The exploration vehicle operated on Venus for a total of 164 hours, as the strong acid rain and high temperatures prevented it from operating for several days, let alone several years as on Mars.

Yet, a few days of operation were sufficient for it to accomplish a lot.

With the confirmation that extraterrestrial relics did indeed exist on Venus, the World United Government dispatched twelve Venus exploration satellites over the next 20 years. They sought to unravel the mystery of why the Venusian civilization went extinct, as well as the extent of the technological development of the extraterrestrial civilization.

A total of twelve exploration satellites, twelve exploration vehicles. They took countless photographs of the colossal relics left behind by the ancient extraterrestrial civilization on the surface of Venus. They also ventured into many of these relics, discovering many remnants of extraterrestrial technology.

However, due to the excessively long duration of the exploration, the high temperature and high acidity of Venuss atmosphere, none of the objects they found could be used.

During the exploration process, the scientists of the World United Government also discovered something. That is, the relics themselves could be divided into two distinctly different types.

One type was severely damaged, mostly consisting of irregular metal distributions forming a rough framework, almost no traces of their previous existence were visible.

This could be attributed to Venuss lack of moving tectonic plates like Earths, or else these relics would have long been buried beneath the surface.

The second type was slightly better, at least retaining their complete structures, though their interiors might be in complete disarray.

At least from the outside, they could still be recognized as man-made objects.

However, they were also different from the first type; their metal content was not as extensive.

From a very few almost intact relics of the first type, scientists discovered that these relics were primarily constructed of pure metal.

The relics of the second type were composed of metal and a type of variant rock, forming two completely distinct structures.

It was as if they had experienced a fault line. Additionally, in the few intact relics of the first type, there was never anything redundant inside. As for the second type, scientists had discovered peculiar murals inside them more than once.

Most depicted an unusual life form with three heads and wings, soaring over various cities.

Initially, people thought it was a self-portrait of Venusian life forms. This perception changed after the third wave of Venus explorers arrived, followed by the fourth wave of Venus orbital permanent space stations.

People had only recently deciphered the Venusian text found in some of the relics, revealing the true answer.

King Ghidorah, the Winged Doom of the Stars.

It was the true culprit behind the destruction of the Venusian civilization, responsible for transforming Venus into the turbulent state it is today.

Detailed records of King Ghidorahs power were found in the relics of the second type. It descended from beyond the sun, bringing its followers to Venus.

Its storms engulfed the entire world, evaporating sulfuric oceans, leading to the extinction of all life.

Its followers activated volcanoes, plunging the world into crisis.

According to the records of the Venusian civilization, King Ghidorah and its followers arrived from beyond the solar system, turning Venus from a paradise with sulfuric oceans into the hellish world it is now.

However, during this process, King Ghidorah itself never actively attacked the Venusian civilization.

It merely existed there.

Throughout the Venusian civilizations wars, they were always fighting King Ghidorahs followers. Despite their best efforts, they only managed to defeat the co-beasts accompanying King Ghidorah.

In the end, they could not avoid King Ghidorahs destructionright?

No, after killing those co-beasts, the Venusian civilization did not wait for its demise. In the final days of their civilizations decline, they assembled their forces for a battle.

Ultimately, they successfully sealed King Ghidorah.

However, as a consequence, their civilization was completely obliterated, and Venuss environment could never return to what it was.

The last inhabitants of Venus did not survive for long in the extreme climate of the planet.

Venus had turned into a desolate wasteland.

And now, based on the coordinates left by the Venusians, humanity had found the dormant place of King Ghidorah.

And they had blown up the door to that place.
