Rodan crashed before him and spread his wings. Opened his beak and let his roar be heard.

Godzilla glared at him, responding with a singular and dominating snort.

Just like that, Rodan’s small but intelligent mind took that intimidating display for what it was. He looked around and saw the remains of Ghidorah as but ash beneath Godzilla’s feet, fading in the wind and never to be seen again. His terror, his treachery, his tyranny was gone from the world. Another had taken Ghidorah’s throne and placed himself in that standing of power, offering one last chance for any one of them to challenge him for the crown.

Rodan, instead, was the first to bow.

He lowered himself in humble submittance, acknowledging Godzilla’s rule with a wilting of his head to the earth and his wings displayed low. Godzilla would not have just that. His burning glare turned to the other Titans, and he released a second snort to them as well.

What followed left the world in a state of utter shock. Left every last beating heart within the Crystal Empire as the witnesses to the shifting of power. The Titans lowered their heads and proceeded to bow beneath the presence of their rightful king. From Abaddon, Behemoth, Quetzalcoatl, Yamata no Orochi, Scylla, Baphomet, until every last one of them dropped their heads, fell to their knees, or planted themselves beneath him. Godzilla gazed at their submittance, seeing them fall one by one before him.

They saw it for what it was, hiding no deceit and revealing to them who now dominated their world, who was the true source of unbeatable strength. The armies of the world saw it. The Council of Friendship saw it. T.I.T.A.N. saw it.

Even Celestia and Luna saw it, witnessing Godzilla’s power not only displayed before them, but all around them. From the destruction he wielded as evident by the ruins of a once great and proud empire, and now to the beasts of the earth submitting one by one to his rule. It told Celestia and Luna there was a new king to be wary of, one that laid his claim upon the world and made a clear statement once and for all.

That Godzilla, the King of the Monsters, was here to stay. He was here to rule. And nothing, no one, was ever going to take that away from him. He told them that. The sun broke through the clouds and shined down upon him, and Celestia and Luna were breathless to the sight.

Godzilla lifted his head and roared to the world, to the heavens, to every life.

And he made them believe that.

“SKREEEEEOOOOONNNNNK!”
