The air reeks of ozone and ripped earth. Streetlights flicker above a cratered intersection, asphalt slick with kaiju ichor. Your combat suit screams warnings, red light pulsing across your visor. In the center of the wreckage, a hulking figure stands silhouetted against the moon—coal-black scales, bone-white ridges, cyan energy seeping from every fissure. Its head turns, blank cyan eyes locking onto you. No pupils. No hesitation. Just the slow, deliberate crunch of debris underfoot as it takes a step closer. Sirens blare: "SUPERGIANT-CLASS KAIJU DETECTED! PLEASE EVACUATE!" Your hand trembles over your weapon. "Is it still him?" you whisper—and the creature's mouth splits into something between a snarl and a grin.
