Smith's words made Han Shaoqing think a lot.
After a moment of silence, Han Shaoqing began to consider what to do next.
He wouldn't stay with this group, nor did he know how powerful humanity was in this world now.
How much powerful black technology was there?
For safety's sake, leaving alone was the best choice.
Involving the Marvel world meant that the human world had a lot of extraordinary power. Even Aquaman's abilities still didn't offer much protection.
It would be fine in the early stages, but the bosses in the later stages were one more freakish than the last. Even if he found a place to hide, he might be wiped out by Thanos's snap.
Although that part of the story was still quite a ways off, he had to be cautious. Han Shaoqing didn't want to gamble on luck when there was a fifty percent chance of death.
Moreover, there's Godzilla, which means the MonsterVerse also exists.
The handsome guy on Skull Island isn't a concern, but King Ghidorah might appear at any moment to wreak havoc on humanity.
Based on the information he currently had, the world he was in was most likely the comic book version of Marvel, which was more dangerous than the movie version.
To get stronger, the best way was to continuously check in through the Check-in System to obtain rewards.
By now, Han Shaoqing had roughly figured out the Check-in System's functions.
Checking in wasn't possible anytime, anywhere. It had to be done in specific locations or when encountering special people to trigger it.
What Han Shaoqing didn't know was that at the same time he had transmigrated, a bald-headed sorceress in a hidden temple in the Himalayas had already noticed his existence.
This sorceress was called Ancient One, also known as Sorcerer Supreme. She was capable of viewing timelines at any time and was currently the ceiling of Earth's combat power. She was also one of Earth's protectors.
Because of Han Shaoqing's appearance, the original timeline experienced violent fluctuations, leading to many time branches. Although it didn't collapse, causing a time explosion and destroying the universe, the intense fluctuations in the timeline made it difficult to escape the attention of the Ancient One.
As Earth's guardian, the Ancient One didn't take action.
To be precise, she acted, but didn't fully act.
Because when she was about to intervene, she was warned by a powerful being from a higher dimension, forbidding her from reversing time and returning to the original trajectory.
In the Atlantic Ocean.
After Godzilla abandoned the cruise ship in the distance, he swam back, thinking to himself, "Second brother, let's go, I'll take you home."
"Going home? To Hollow Earth?"
Han Shaoqing didn't have a home in this world. He'd assumed Godzilla meant its home.
Not long before his transmigration, he'd watched Godzilla vs. Kong, which had a certain setting.
That was Hollow Earth.
There were huge hollow spaces inside the Earth, where giant beasts, dozens of meters long, resided. It was the monsters' homeland, and only occasionally would they reach the surface through long tunnels.
Godzilla replied, "Sure, you even know about Hollow Earth, but I'm not talking about Hollow Earth. I mean Atlantis. Aren't you Atlantean?"
"Didn't the continent of Atlantis sink? Are the Atlanteans not extinct? And I don't think I ever said I was Atlantean, did I?"
Han Shaoqing felt a bit strange. Although he had obtained Aquaman's physique and the Trident, if this were the DC world, being mistaken for an Atlantean would make sense. But shouldn't this be the Marvel world?
"Could this world have also merged with the DC Universe?"
Godzilla thought, "The continent of Atlantis did indeed sink, but the Atlanteans didn't become extinct. Some of them survived underwater. I see your physique and abilities are similar to theirs. Don't you even know?"
Atlanteans underwater?
A merger with the DC world?
Is this the comic version of the Marvel Universe?
There are many legends about the continent of Atlantis. Han Shaoqing remembered that Atlantis also appeared in Marvel comics.
However, it wasn't in the movies, so it wasn't very well-known.
Thinking of this, Han Shaoqing communicated mentally, "Big brother, can you take me to see Atlantis?"
"Of course, no problem. I'm the sacred beast they worship. Following Big Bro here, I guarantee you'll eat well."
Godzilla had the bearing of a true boss. What a shame he wasn't out there running things.
Just then, Han Shaoqing heard the sound of helicopters in the distance. He was a little surprised, but it also made sense.
Come to think of it, it was 1962, and this was the Marvel world. A bit more advanced technology was normal.
Turning to Smith, he said, "Captain, the rescue will arrive soon, and it's time for me to retire."
With that, under everyone's gaze, he leaped from the iceberg onto Godzilla's back. Holding the Trident in his right hand, he grasped the edge of Godzilla's dorsal fin with the other. Together, they plunged into the icy water.
Ruth and Jack watched this scene with mixed emotions, but mostly with the joy of surviving.
Although they weren't completely out of danger yet, at least they were still together.
Watching his fiancée being held in someone else's arms, Carl's face was contorted with rage.
The others had mixed feelings.
The existence of Godzilla put a lot of pressure on them.
Even if Godzilla did nothing, just floating on the sea made their hearts beat faster involuntarily.
Most of them were filled with fear, while some were in awe.
Smith stared at the gradually calming sea, lost in thought.
Missia, standing beside him, stepped forward and asked, "Sir, who do you think this Aquaman really is?"
Smith fell into a reverie. After a moment of silence, he said, "Missia, do you remember the Invaders?"
As a living fossil, Godzilla was definitely well-informed. Although he spent most of his time sleeping, he had lived for a long time.
In the past, to eliminate the destroyers among the monsters, Godzilla's footprints had almost covered the globe, and he knew many secrets that were not known to others.
Godzilla thought to himself, "Yes, come to think of it, your abilities are very similar to his, and your weapon is also a Trident, but that guy isn't a good person. He actually wanted me to be his mount. If it wasn't for the fact that Atlantis had worshiped me for generations, I would have blasted him to death with an Atomic Breath."
"He has the same abilities as me, and also a Trident, what's his name?" Han Shaoqing was thoughtful.
Godzilla thought to himself, "It seems to be Namor... Mac something."
Han Shaoqing's mind moved, "Namor McKenzie."
"Yes, that's what he's called."
Godzilla nodded his flat head, and at the same time, accelerated towards the depths of the sea.
