With Mothra, Anna Maximoff, and the makeshift Mana Derivation Complex in her hand, Godzilla looks on at Safi'jiiva. The red dragon attempts to crush the Mechagodzilla flagship in his fingertips, but the young Godzillasaur quickly manipulates the space around it to pull it back to her; this gets quite the annoyed reaction out of the Overseer. With everyone safely within her reach, the monster planet allows Mothra to return to the ship while she allows Anna Maximoff to start the infusion process.


(Anna Maximoff): [COMMS] You get that sonuvabitch real good, alright?


To this, the ruler of all monsters nods.

The small compartment housing the Russian metaphysicist explodes into light within Godzilla's hand, though this light is barely more than a brief spark compared to her planet-sized body. However, the effect is quite noticeable, as this spark of light merges into the tip of Godzilla's clawed finger; it briefly causes the area to become aglow with searing hot veins before fading back to a normal state. The initial spark caused some visible worry in Safi'jiiva at first, but the disappearance of this energy causes him to rear his head back and give an animalistic howling similar to laughter.


"That was it? One of the few remaining members of your strange family, sacrificed for a single spark!"

"Now that is irony! Your precious connection, that which you've relied upon for strength, and in the end it fails you!"

"You truly are an unpredictable one, Godzilla. Now.... let us continue this properly."


The Overseer flies at high speed towards Godzilla, prompting her to quickly warp the flagship and its inhabitants away with a quick snap of her fingers; she then flies to meet Safi'jiiva.

This time, the red dragon goes for her throat straight away, clamping down around it with his jaws. She tries to pry his jaws away, but Safi'jiiva uses his own hands to hold them back enough to maintain his grip on her neck. He then steers himself and Godzilla into the surface of Jupiter, scraping her across the cloud layers with enough force to slough off a large ravine across one side of the planet. Eventually, Godzilla manages to force herself and the Overseer to stand atop the planet's surface, locked in a power struggle as she still tries to pry his jaws off of her throat.

As the struggle continues, the ruler of all monsters manages to step down on her opponent's hind-toes hard, causing him to instantly release his clamp on her neck and his grip on her wrists. She then gives him a firm short tackle that sends him stumbling backwards a bit, though he remains standing on his hind-legs.


"How rude! Taste the Dark Heart!"


Safi'jiiva puts out his right hand and concentrates the Meta energies and real-space around it into a hyper condensed micro black hole; he then casts the Dark Heart directly at Godzilla, forcing her to bring up both hands to block it. As soon as the singularity reaches her palms, it immediately expands into a swirling sphere of gravitational dark energy easily as large as her entire torso; however, it doesn't affect the surrounding space or the planet she stands on. The sheer force of the Dark Heart is immense, enough to force the young Godzillasaur to put all her strength into resisting it as signified by her dorsal plates now being completely surrounded by arcs of electricity surging at max capacity.

The Overseer isn't content to simply let the Dark Heart do its work by itself and proceeds to fire his Deep Star Fire at it, feeding it his power to allow it to swell up even more; its diameter is now almost as large as Godzilla is tall now. Despite the Dark Heart's increasing power, the monster planet refuses to give in to the red dragon's will and roars loudly to express this defiance


"Give in to your responsibilities as a Metarch! The cycle of Humanity across the universe must end!"

{ Then let it start with you! }


The sudden voice of Godzilla completely catches Safi'jiiva by surprise, though he maintains his steady feed of Deep Star Fire into the Dark Heart. However, his eyes widen as he notices that Godzilla's body is starting to become aglow with fiery veins of thermal energy. This heat is so intense that an ever-present haze wafts out into the surrounding Meta-riddled vacuum of space and beyond; small debris and minor moons are melted away in an instant, while the very planets themselves have their surfaces left scorched.

While Godzilla is steaming from every part of her body, she remains unaffected compared to Safi'jiiva finding these temperatures quite unbearable; he's soon forced to break off his feeding of the Dark Heart and retreat to a less heat-filled part of the solar system. With the flow of energy into the Dark Heart cut off and her own energy surging from this newfound power, Godzilla channels the thermal energy through her arms and into her hands. As her hands glow red-hot from the sheer temperatures, the black hole she's holding back becomes overtaken by this same light. Within moments, the entire singularity is overcome with immense heat energy before exploding shortly after, setting the surfaces of every planet nearby ablaze.

Scarlet Godzilla stands triumphantly atop Jupiter and roars loudly, sending a clear message to Safi'jiiva.

Although he's rather furious at this development, there is also a sense of intrigue and even curiosity at thus turn of events on his part.


"I see that it takes immense willpower and struggle against impossible odds to call upon your true potential. I've seen it plenty of times, in fact."

"Then I shall harness this principle myself!"


The red dragon charges forward at full speed, prompting Godzilla to begin firing off Spiral Supernova Breath attacks from in front of her mouth sporadically at the approaching Overseer. Safi'jiiva weaves his way through each individual beam expertly and manages to claw down on the young Godzillasaur, steering both of them into the void of space; they scrape off part of Jupiter as they spiral out into the beyond. The 2 Metarchs tumble through space, but before the Overseer can continue his assault, Godzilla throws him off of her and fires her Super Oscillatory Wave at him, forcing him to retreat and take evasive action to avoid the super-charged roar.

He manages to fly fast enough to get behind her and go in for a strike, but she anticipates this enough to take a swing at him.

The red dragon manages to react to even this and catches Godzilla's fist with a bit of effort; his satisfied expression quickly drops once Godzilla's hand starts glowing and explodes into a directed Dragonfire Pulse that blows him away. The ruler of all monsters than rears her head up and roars loudly before then unleashing a Spiral Supernova Barrage of enhanced heat beams from her back. All of these beams arc towards Safi'jiiva while he's still reeling from the Dragonfire Pulse, preventing him from reacting in time to evade or guard against these attacks coming at him from all sides.

The simultaneous strike of every single beam results in a massive explosion; the blast-wave is powerful enough to blow away chunks of the surrounding planetary bodies. The explosive cloud dies down, revealing Safi'jiiva to be alive but moderately damaged, with the areas of his body that were directly hit being left charred and with small chunks blown off. Despite this damage, the Overseer is consumed with anger and frustration as he narrows his eyes at Godzilla.


"So you have chosen death. Then let the bringer of life truly become a reaper once and for all!"
