Ghidorah prepares for yet another all-out attack as his body courses with electrical god energy.


("Let my body become untouchable!")


The 3-headed god of the void flies forward straight at Godzilla as his entire being is coated in an Amped Discharge Field. The young monster planet attempts to grab hold of her opponent mid-flight, but the intense voltage he puts out electrifies her greatly as he passes by and prevents her from physically making contact. Ghidorah makes a sharp u-turn and comes in fast once more, this time slamming into her from behind with his electrically-laced body directly; this attack knocks her away while simultaneously stunning her in the process.

The Original One makes several more flybys consecutively, each one further knocking the ruler of all monsters off balance and leaving her unable to properly counter or recover. It's only on the ninth rush that Godzilla manages to grab hold of Ghidorah's right and middle heads with her hands and quickly swing them around a bit before quickly tossing them away; her hands are left trembling after letting go due to the immense electrocution. She starts to charge up power through her dorsal plates, to which her opponent responds in kind by infusing his wings with the godly energies that he used for his Amped Discharge Field. Godzilla fires her full-force Atomic Breath at Ghidorah, but he blocks it with a Super Gravity Warping Field.

Instead of merely sitting there and allowing the shield to take the planet-destroying particle beam, however, the void king spins himself around. This serves to both bring the front-facing shield around with him and draw the diffused Atomic Breath with it, temporarily creating a swirling sphere of bluish-white atomic energy around him that still prevents any of it from reaching his body. Ghidorah then stops spinning as he comes to face Godzilla's direction and sweeps his wings out, pushing his Super Gravity Warping Field and its diffused atomic power outwards as a large semicircular wave. This wave continues to absorb Godzilla's Atomic Breath as she tries to stop it, and she stops firing at it too late.

The Diffused Warping Field collides with her body, detonating into a large gold and bluish-white explosion; the god-slaying Godzillasaur is sent flying out from the back of the debris cloud.


("I'm not done with you yet, young one!")


Ghidorah flies across the condensed solar system to continue his assault on Godzilla.

He attempts to snap at her with his 3 heads as he comes charging in, only for her to suddenly evade the attack and redirect his momentum away in a single smooth motion. Although this doesn't do any damage to him, Ghidorah finds himself thrown for a loop at the speed and grace at which Godzilla performed this manoeuvre despite still reeling from the force of his previous attack. However, once he sees that his enemy has quickly recovered and taken up a combat stance with her eyes still closed, he realizes what is amiss.


("The Silver Instinct again, I see. You managed to temporarily access its autonomous movement capabilities by focusing on my approach, and in such a short span of time at that.")

("But I can also see that your handle on this power is incomplete. You've only fully realized it once against Safi'jiiva when he was possessing an incarnation of me.")

("Let's see if we can bring it out again!")


The 2 Metarchs charge each other once more, engaging in yet another power struggle as Godzilla grapples with Ghidorah's heads; this struggle creates another god wave that echos out far past the reaches of the Meta-riddled solar system. The young Godzillasaur god attempts to use her grip on the void god's left and right heads to swing him around, but he wises up to this and kicks off of her body with his feet to break her grip. Ghidorah then backs off to gain some distance before then charging forward, this time in a spiralling motion while simultaneously breathing Super Gravity Beams.

This creates a kind of godly electrical boring manoeuvre, the Amped Discharge Spiral.

While cloaked in his own Super Gravity Beams, Ghidorah drills into Godzilla's abdomen and easily pushes her back. Every time she attempts to put up resistance by putting her claws down on his electrically cloaked body, her claws get ground up by the spinning motion and immense energetic plasma and are forced away. Eventually, the young Earth titan closes her eyes and focuses her energies on her core. Instead of try to specifically awaken the Silver Instinct, Godzilla chooses to focus her godly power on her own atomic heart; more specifically, she amps up her heart's heat management and production. This immense heat that exceeds even the highest theoretical limits once thought impossible to actually achieve gradually spreads throughout the rest of her body like it did before when she fought Safi'jiiva, resulting in huge amounts of haze and smoke to waft from where Ghidorah's Amped Discharge Spiral bores into her body.

With her Scarlet state now in effect, Godzilla charges up heat energy throughout her body and unleashes a Dragonfire Pulse outwards in every direction, blowing Ghidorah away and dissipating his spiralling momentum. However, the veins of heat across her body disappear soon after emitting this attack; the golden dragon god recovers not long afterwards.

He sees that Godzilla hasn't quite brought out her Scarlet state fully.


("It seems as though your Scarlet form isn't lost to you, but it also isn't easily accessed.")

("And based on what I saw of your fight with Safi'jiiva, your Slayer Crucible also serves as a conduit through which you can better access the Silver Instinct.")

("You truly are one of a kind for a Metarch. You really should've joined me and your sector's Overseer when you had the chance. We would've done great things together.")


Ghidorah flies at Godzilla once more, this time firing his Super Gravity Beams at her while he does so to keep her stunned; she only manages to bring up her left hand to block the beams, scorching it heavily in the process. Despite the searing pain of a thousand suns coursing through her left arm, the champion of Earth focuses on calling forth her super-heated power once more while she weathers the godly lightning. Unfortunately, Ghidorah comes in as she's doing so and bites down on her left hand with his right and middle heads; she tries to swipe at him with her right hand, but his left head bites down on it before she can connect.

With the overpowering muscular strength of 2 heads on her left arm and her right hand unable to move thanks to being in the jaws of the third head, Godzilla finds herself in a very precarious position; this is made worse by the fact that she continues to try and call forth her Scarlet state, further reducing her ability to resist. The young Metarch suddenly stops meditating and remembers that Ghidorah swallowed her sword hilt a few minutes ago with his left head and neck; she then looks at her right arm stuck in the jaws of said left head, then at her left arm stuck in the unbreakable grip of the other 2 heads.

She knows that she cannot shake off the strength of 2 heads with one arm, so she makes a rash but necessary decision to carry out her plan.

In one excruciating motion, Godzilla spins her body clockwise, resulting in her entire left forearm being ripped off due to the grip strength of Ghidorah's right and middle heads and her right arm being forced down into the left head's throat from the momentum of the turn. This sudden bout of self-mutilation catches the void god by surprise, but he quickly shakes off the initial shock; he discards his opponent's severed left forearm and bites down on her neck and upper arm with his free heads.

Despite these 2 heads clamping down with all their strength and even electrocuting energy, they cannot get Godzilla to pull out her arm from the left head's throat; said left head gags even more as the earth-born Metarch forces her right arm down even further so that it's completely engulfed. Godzilla then closes her eyes and tunes out the pain of Ghidorah's electrified bites, choosing to focus on manipulating and channelling the godly energies in her remaining arm; she doesn't even bother trying to regenerate her severed left forearm.


("You cannot possibly hope to kill me by simply detonating power from the inside out. I have 2 other heads, and my left one will grow back if severed just like your arms and flesh.")


The titan champion of the people ignores her opponent's words and continues to focus her power through her right arm; instead of visualizing Ghidorah or her body, she instead visualizes the Slayer Crucible. With her fingers twitching with magnetic potential, she mentally calls forth the sword hilt to her hand; at first, nothing happens. Eventually, though, the dragon god feels a rumbling in his stomach; this sensation moves up from his stomach and travels backwards up his digestive tract. The sensation soon lands in the grasp of his enemy's grasp, causing his eyes to widen at the realization.

Before he can properly react, his left head starts to display glowing scarlet veins of heat energy that crack through his skin and snake their way down to the base of his neck. In one fell swoop, Godzilla kicks Ghidorah away while simultaneously detonating her super-heated god power from within his left neck, knocking him away and completely severing his left head and neck in their entirety. The void god quickly regains his balance as he stares down his opponent with the frustrated eyes of his remaining 2 heads. Ghidorah attempts to regenerate his left head's stump, but he finds himself unable to do so; a quick look at the stump reveals it to be smouldering and molten, just like how the hydra of Greek mythology had its own regenerative ability crippled.

He looks on at the young Metarch in disbelief; said disbelief turns to shock as he witnesses her next move.

Godzilla raises her right arm high while it's still shoved deep within the lifeless dragon head and neck; her left arm starts growing back while she has her other arm raised.

At the area where her hand would be approximately, it begins to glow a deep crimson from within. Soon after, the severed left head starts burning up and turning into glowing red god energy, revealing Godzilla to be gripping the hilt of her Slayer Crucible tightly. While she continues to hold her sword's hilt above her, the crimson energy left swirling around it after Ghidorah's left head burned up starts collecting at the empty port where the blade once was. This elemental power begins to rearrange itself into a new blade of pure energy, forming a new sword edge for the Slayer Crucible.

As Godzilla brings down the completed Slayer Crucible to grip with both hands, her body becomes aglow with veins of extreme heat.

With Slayer Crucible in hand and super-heated energy pumping throughout her body, Scarlet Godzilla is combat ready once more.


("Fascinating.... Truly, it is a fool's game to underestimate you for even a second.")

("I will almost certainly be ended here, it seems. I will need to put the rest of my focus towards sending out the final message, then.")
