章 175: Team's Favorite and Mascot

Godzilla, with its imposing presence and majestic demeanor, fell to the ground!

Although the sight of Russell knocking down Godzilla with a single sword strike seemed somewhat unbelievable, whether it was the on-site Mr. Fantastic Reed, Coulson, and others or the audience watching this scene through the official league website, they all had to admit one fact: Russell's sword strike was indeed earth-shattering.

If the negative energy were not black and white but orange-red, the sudden eruption of negative energy would have looked like a nuclear explosion.

Apart from the lack of a mushroom cloud and the difference in explosion color, Russell's negative energy explosion from this sword strike was undoubtedly the most exaggerated energy release they had ever witnessed in their lives.

After knocking down Godzilla with one sword strike, Russell, the mastermind behind this battle, finally concluded the grand showdown.

However, the show had ended, but Russell still had some loose ends to tie up.

For example, making Godzilla an official league favorite or mascot.

While Grendel was undoubtedly massive and possessed the legendary dragon form, compared to Godzilla, the dragon-like Grendel lacked a certain "cuteness."

More importantly, Grendel's subservient attitude had deterred Russell from considering him for this role.

What Russell wanted was a team favorite and mascot, not a lapdog.

Under normal circumstances, even if Godzilla could understand his words, it would never agree to such a request.

But clearly, this was not a normal situation.

Under the watchful eyes of the people, Godzilla, which had been knocked to the ground, struggled to its feet.

At this moment, Russell was hovering about ten meters in front of Godzilla.

At this distance, he could even feel Godzilla's breath clearly.

After a few words of what seemed like a conversation with Godzilla, which was now under Grendel's control, Russell waved his wings and returned to Mr. Fantastic Reed and the others.

As soon as he landed, Mr. Fantastic Reed, Coulson, and the others surrounded him.

Hulk and Kara were also there, along with two bio-falcons controlled by No. 3.

"I had a brief conversation with Godzilla about this incident, exchanged our opinions, and reached an agreement."

"To prevent future Titan monster incidents endangering civilians, Godzilla has agreed to join the League and become part of it, working together with the League to address various crises caused by Titan monsters."

"Regarding Godzilla and Titan monsters-related information, I will hold a press conference at the Octopus Monster headquarters in a few days to answer any questions."

Russell delivered the well-prepared statement with a straight face, without blinking an eye.

After he finished speaking, Godzilla, in the distance, let out a roar.

Then, in front of everyone, it nodded.

Although no one present understood Godzilla's language, it didn't matter; Godzilla's nod said it all.

After nodding in the direction of the crowd, Grendel, controlling Godzilla, headed toward the coastline.

The roles of Grendel and Godzilla were over, and there was no need to linger here.

Once Grendel, controlling Godzilla, departed, Russell had No. 3 capture some aerial shots and footage of the team handling the aftermath. Then, he recalled all the bio-falcons, ending the live broadcast.

"Let's go. There's nothing for us here. We can go home!"

Unlike Coulson and the others who needed to deal with the aftermath, Russell had no post-battle work to handle.

There were only three of them on this mission.

Besides Hulk, who had been knocked around a bit by the male MUTO, Russell and Kara hadn't suffered any injuries.

After exchanging greetings with Mr. Fantastic Reed and the others, Russell began leading Kara and Hulk back to the airport.

Upon their return to the airport, Russell didn't maintain the white wings on his back but instead put on his Endosymbiotic Battle Armor again.

As for Hulk, he was lifted by a silver-white rope formed by Russell's intelligent liquid metal and transported back to the airport as if he were handling a large animal.

Seeing Russell and the others leave, Mr. Fantastic Reed didn't immediately depart.

Russell had no interest in the deceased male MUTO because he already had Godzilla as his ally.

But for Mr. Fantastic Reed, a scientist with an insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge, the male MUTO's corpse was an unexplored goldmine.

If he could make new discoveries from the male MUTO's body, it wouldn't be a problem to win several Nobel Prizes next year.

Even Johnny, who usually had little interest in research, could see the incalculable scientific value in the male MUTO, a Titan monster with built-in electromagnetic pulses.

As soon as Russell and the others left, Mr. Fantastic Reed and his team immediately began their competition with S.H.I.E.LD.'s over the male MUTO's corpse.

Of course, their competition was civilized, involving no the use of force. Instead, they divided the male MUTO's body as if dividing loot.

Back at the airport, Russell took off his Endosymbiotic Battle Armor and had No. 3 repair the aircraft that had been damaged by the electromagnetic pulse.

As for Hulk, once he returned to the airport, he immediately found the two barrels of liquor he had left in the cabin and began guzzling them down.
