The netizens watching the live broadcast at this moment were in an uproar.

Seriously, does it have to be this outrageous?

Iron Man actually ran away during the battle?!

And his high-tech battle suits were "again and again" looted for equipment by the monsters!

This made everyone feel suspicious.

Is human technology really so vulnerable in the face of these ancient creatures?

These Titan creatures, which may suddenly appear at any time, all possess powerful and strange abilities.

Can humans really achieve the final victory in this extremely dangerous war?!!

…………

……

[Monarch Headquarters].

When Director Houston Brooks saw Iron Man's defeat and escape, his aging body slumped weakly to the ground, and he held his head in pain, saying:

"Oh God, what have I done? I actually released such a terrible monster..."

Time rewinds slightly to a few hours ago—

[Skull Island].

Under the instruction of Houston Brooks, a large drilling team, protected by hundreds of fully armed soldiers, successfully entered the underground nest that originally belonged to the Skullcrawler.

"Haha, brothers, the higher-ups have finally issued the order..."

The captain of the drilling team, Berg, commanded with a proud and energetic face:

"Immediately send people to install the explosives first, then evacuate the scene. I want the exploration machinery to be able to work within an hour."

"Haha, boss, you're rushing the progress so much, are you worried that the higher-ups will temporarily change their minds?"

A worker said with a smile: "I heard that a few days ago, the leader of the island's indigenous [Iwi tribe], after receiving the news that the excavation was about to begin,

personally brought some hieroglyphs recording ancient legends to Colonel Joanna Edwards, wanting to use them to prevent the start of the excavation work."

"Ancient legends? Tell me, what do you know!!"

Everyone was immediately aroused by curiosity and cast urging gazes at the worker, as if saying, "My pants are off, hurry up and continue!"

The latter didn't play coy and immediately recounted everything he knew: "It is said that those hieroglyphs originated from the ancestors of the [Iwi tribe].

They record that in the depths of the earth's core of [Skull Island], there sleeps a king of the abyss who once tried to control the world with darkness and storms—Camazotz."

"Once this Titan, full of hostility towards humans, reawakens, it will set off a darkness that devours the world, defeat all the Titans, and then bury humans in its mouth..."

"King of the Abyss?!"

The surrounding workers were obviously frightened by this terrifying title, and they stopped their work, standing there at a loss.

Captain Berg obviously didn't want to see such a situation, so he scolded angrily:

"Bullshit, don't be afraid, everyone, that's just a ghost story to scare children."

"These stupid natives just want to stop our construction. They even regarded Kong as the guardian of [Skull Island] before!"

"But the facts prove that [Skull Island] without Kong is a good [Skull Island]. That damned gorilla is the culprit for the ecological imbalance here."

After calming down a little.

Captain Berg's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and he continued earnestly:

"Guys, don't bother with those [Iwi people] and that old-fashioned legend. Think more about your families!"

"As long as we successfully complete the exploration mission as soon as possible, we can get a lot of commissions."

"At that time, your families will be able to enjoy a long period of happy life, no longer having to worry about where to buy discounted goods and expiring food..."

"Conversely, if we lose this job, then your families are likely to end up on the streets, living a life of starvation all day long, and even be bullied by those gang members and vagrants!!"

As expected, once the immediate interests are implemented on everyone, in the face of temptation, the vast majority of people will choose to abandon their cheap morals and bottom lines.

"The boss is right, everyone, move quickly..."

"Without the obstruction of that stinky monkey, we will definitely be able to complete the task before the end of the construction period!"

Several tens of minutes later.

Along with a muffled roar, the entire nest shook violently in the explosion.

When the smoke cleared and the dust settled.

Captain Berg took the lead to come to the explosion point, looked at the dark tunnel blasted below, and gave a thumbs up to the workers behind him, praising:

"Great, we directly opened up two underground tunnels, so we can save a lot of excavation time..."

But before he could issue a formal exploration order.

The ground suddenly trembled again.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible focused sonic pulse swept out from the dark underground tunnel.

Puff puff puff...!!!

Ten workers, including Captain Berg, were directly crushed into piles of bloody minced meat, as if an invisible wall of air had rolled over their bodies.

And those workers who were relatively far away, as well as the staff at the entrance of the cave, covered their ears in pain, bleeding from all seven orifices and died.

Boom boom boom...!!!

The frequency of the ground shaking began to intensify.

As if something was about to break out of the ground.

In the sky, a large number of carrion vultures, as if sensing something, began to circle in groups above the cave.

Before long, the ground exploded.

Amidst the flying sand and rocks, a behemoth rushed straight into the sky from the ground and flapped its wings towards the [Outpost 236] where the human settlement was located.

"Alarm, alarm...the base is being attacked by an unknown bat-shaped Titan, please fighter pilots immediately board the plane to meet the enemy!!!"

The sharp and ear-piercing alarm sounded throughout the base.

More than a dozen pilots trotted all the way to the hangar.

Soon, fighter jets painted with the [Monarch] logo taxied and took off from the runway.

However.

The fighter jet squadron was soon engulfed by the dark mass of carrion vultures in the sky.

"Damn it, is that Camazotz? I didn't expect the [Iwi tribe]'s prophecy to be true..."

Colonel Joanna Edwards, seeing this, did not hesitate to order:

"Ground troops, try to contain these carrion vultures as much as possible, and everyone else will immediately carry out an emergency evacuation."

There is simply no firepower configuration in this base that can kill or seriously injure Camazotz.

So retreat is the wisest choice.

"Colonel, what about those [Iwi] natives?"

A soldier came over and asked in a low voice.

Colonel Joanna Edwards ordered directly without looking back:

"I can't take care of that much, take the natives who are willing to go with us, and let the others fend for themselves here!!"

…………

……

A few hours later.

When the news reached [Monarch Headquarters], Houston Brooks couldn't believe his ears.

The legend about Camazotz was actually true?

And it was precisely because of his wrong judgment that not only killed more than 300 people in vain, but also completely turned [Skull Island Outpost 236] into ruins.

Preliminary calculations show that the direct economic loss will be as high as more than 1 billion US dollars...

"It seems that I am really old, and it is time to hand over power to the next generation of young people."

A look of grief appeared on Houston Brooks's face, and he felt disheartened.

A female researcher with long brown hair comforted softly: "Mr. Brooks, please don't blame yourself. After all, no one could have foreseen that this would happen."

"No, Eileen, after discovering that legend about the Titans, I should have been more cautious about this excavation work."

Houston Brooks shook his head helplessly, "However, I was distracted by the matter of Kong being taken away, which led to this disaster..."

"It seems that we have to pause the 'Exploring the Hollow Earth' plan for now."

"And I have made such a big mistake, I am no longer qualified to continue leading [Monarch].

It is time to replace it with a more level-headed person to lead this organization to continue in the right direction and complete the great cause of protecting the Titans and protecting the Earth!!"

"Then what is your final choice..."

A look of curiosity appeared on the face of the woman named Eileen. Who would the other party choose among the many candidates?

Houston Brooks thought for a while and gave his answer in a deep voice, "Serizawa Ichiro!!!"
