Chapter 51: A Glimmer of Light

Chapter 51: A Glimmer of Light

If they wanted to leave, then leave.

The cabin door opened, and people began leaving one after another.

Their flight backpacks had an automatic navigation system, and the fuel was sufficient to fly to cities in East Asia.

Of course, by now, most of the coastal cities in East Asia and Siberia had already been evacuated.

However, considering the possibility of some survivors still being left behind, their basic infrastructure was still functioning, allowing them to buy tickets and escape further inland.

That would be safe.

Dying meaninglessly was not what most people wanted. Now that those who were supposed to leave had left, Akiyama looked out at the world for a long time.

They had lost this battle against Godzilla. Was it really meaningful for him to sacrifice himself like this?

Even in his heart, such thoughts began to emerge. As the Minister of Emergency Management in Hokkaido, he participated in this to inflict harm on Godzilla.

He wanted revenge, but it shouldnt be just his side that died.

The enemy should not come out unscathed, this was not how it should be.

Yes, it shouldnt be like this. With his current goal, he should leave together with everyone, escape, and then plan for the long term.

Then why was he still here? Why was he staying?

He tightened his grip on his hand.

Do I really want a reunion like this?

Im sorry, Im too exhausted without all of you. Im sorry

In the end, he didnt leave and returned to the cabin.

Are you sure you want to stay with me?

A few others stayed as well, some had revealed their feelings during the night talk, while others were like Akiyama, not speaking up before.

I came here to be a martyr. I wont leave

Only one person answered. The others remained silent; it seemed that everyone had their own struggles.

I understand.

Akiyama didnt ask any further.

He walked into the cockpit and activated the transport planes auto-navigation system, letting it fly towards Godzilla.

The transport plane took off, finally ascending into the crimson sky.nove(l)bi(n.)com

It had been hit by Godzillas breath from the side, and half of it had collapsed.

Another relic caused by Godzilla.

The transport plane flew close to the mountain wall, and on their way, they saw numerous traces left by Godzilla.

Those traces were like something out of mythology, but now they were displayed in the real world by Godzilla.

Without a doubt, he was the king of destruction, the destroyer of all things.

And now, they were about to encounter this destroyer. The dot representing Godzilla and their dot were getting closer.

Just one more mountain peak to go around, and they would be able to see Godzilla.

Seeing it also meant the arrival of destruction and death.

Akiyama was not afraid of death, and neither were the people here.

They were all people seeking death, not only unafraid of it but also pursuing it.

Some wanted to use death to clear debts and give their families a new life.

Some wanted to earn honor through death and make their parents proud.

Some wanted to die in their homeland, even if there was no hope, they would challenge despair.

And finally, some feared loneliness and wanted to reunite.

Beyond the door

Theres peace Im sure

The screen retracted, the protective panel moved aside, and the front window of the transport plane was exposed.

After circling around this mountain peak and entering the gorge, Akiyama saw Godzilla, the beast among the mountains, for the first time through the window of the cockpit.

And I know therell be no more

Akiyama looked at it, and it looked at him. It opened its mouth, and Akiyama also opened his mouth and shouted:

Godzilla!!!!!!

Then a bright light flashed.

Tears in heaven

The song ended, and people dispersed.

Fire!

PS: The song title is Tears in Heaven.
