The tension in the command center was palpable.

Holographic images flickered across the glass panels, transmitted via the orbital satellite network.

The entire military high council—five generals and Chief Military Advisor Wang Junshi—stood motionless, watching as the replay of the subterranean battle played out on the screens.

The scene was staggering.

Miraluz's atomic strike had penetrated deep into the Earth's crust, sending tremors that reached the fortress itself.

The footage showed the Taotie King—once thought invincible—being subdued and dragged to the surface by the mutant dinosaurs.

General Shao Yong let out a low whistle, his arms crossed tightly.

"That blast… it cracked solid granite like clay. Just how deep did it go?"

"At least mantle level," muttered General Lin Mei, adjusting her glasses.

"Seismic readings went off the scale. This wasn't just brute force—Miraluz aimed with precision. He knew where the Taotie was hiding."

Advisor Wang stroked his beard thoughtfully.

"No wonder we couldn't locate the creature. It was embedded too deep, beneath even our seismic surveillance grids."

General Hu Sheng stepped forward.

"Well, whether by accident or intention, the mutant dinosaurs just solved one of our biggest problems. The Taotie is captured—if not dead."

There was a pause before General Chen Rong spoke gravely.

"But at what cost? Miraluz's display confirms he's a Titan-class entity. He's not a dinosaur anymore. He's something... more."

The room fell silent at that.

Titan-class.

A classification previously only used in whispered conversations and theoretical files.

The Monarch Organization, led by America, had long speculated on the existence of such beings.

But China had never had its own confirmed Titan.

Until now.

"I've read classified reports," said Wang.

"Monarch has several Titans in stasis or under observation. Godzilla, Rodan, Behemoth..."

"And now," Lin Mei added quietly, "we have Miraluz. A rogue Titan."

Wang Junshi, the military's senior advisor, stroked his beard thoughtfully.

"Yes, but at what cost? We've confirmed Miraluz is not just a mutated dinosaur. His abilities—atomic breath, subterranean detection, cognitive coordination of other creatures, and his size place him at Titan-class. The kind of monster the Monarch Organization classified as extinction-level threats."

"Monarch is an American agency," Lin Mei said coldly.

"And their loyalty doesn't lie with all of us. We shouldn't rely on foreign intelligence to define threats in our land."

"Exactly," Shao Yong added.

"If these creatures—Titans, if you will—truly exist across the world, then why are we not watching over the ones within our borders? We need our own force. Our own organization."

For a moment, no one spoke. Then, as if ignited by shared realization, they all nodded.

"We'll form a domestic investigative force," said Wang decisively.

"Not a branch of Monarch. Our own command. An independent organization, grounded in both science and myth."

Lin Mei glanced toward the satellite feed again, then toward the ancient stone murals lining the war room.

Her voice lowered.

"Let's call it…"

"G.U.I.L.D. — Guotian (Nation and Heaven) Union for Investigation of Legendary Daemons"

"A fitting name," Wang said.

"Hunters. Scholars. Warriors. Guardians. Just like the legends."

And so, within hours of Miraluz's departure, the founding report was dispatched to the central authority.

Authorization came swiftly.

The Guild was officially established under classified orders, with the mandate to research, monitor, and prepare for potential awakenings of myth-born threats across China.

Its founding members included

General Shao Yong – Military strategist with field experience from the Taotie incursion.

General Lin Mei – Intelligence chief and tactician.

Advisor Wang Junshi – Primary historian and overseer of monster classification.

Chen Ailin and Chen Ling – Twin prodigy researchers who had defected from the Western-run Monarch to join the Guild.

The Chen sisters had long believed that the key to understanding monster awakenings lay not in modern science but in ancient texts.

For years, they had devoted their lives to decoding ancient records—especially the Classic of Mountains and Seas, a telling of what many dismissed as mythological nonsense.

But through decades of field research, the sisters uncovered evidence that these so-called myths were, in truth, distorted records of actual sightings.

In 2008, while on expedition in the Yunnan rainforest, the Chen sisters had discovered a structure: a half-buried temple covered in moss, vines, and forgotten prayers.

At its center was a cocoon—massive and pulsating faintly, like something sleeping.

Using seismic imaging and echo resonance, they detected a heartbeat. Slow. Steady. Alive.

The temple, built by unknown hands, was dedicated to a winged goddess, a lepidopteran guardian.

Monarch had named the sleeping entity Mothra.

They assigned it to Outpost No. 61, deep in the jungle.

But the Chen sisters never forgot the other patterns they found—symbols, carvings, and star-maps pointing to different locations across the mainland.

They had followed those leads ever since, connecting monsters to the geographical patterns of China's oldest legends.

As the Guild consolidated its resources, the Chen sisters presented their findings to Shao Yong and the council.

Their theories were no longer dismissed. They were urgently needed.

The evidence was chilling.

All across the land, monsters described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas were beginning to stir.

In the Kunlun Mountains, near the Ruoshui River, they found signs of a creature described as having a dragon's head, an ox's body, a human face, and hooves—a Titan they labeled Yayu.

Seismic spikes and anomalous magnetic fields were detected nearby, growing stronger each month.

Beneath the still waters of Dongting Lake, sonar scans revealed a serpentine mass coiled in ancient tunnels.

Its description matched Bashe, a snake with a green head and obsidian-black body, so vast it could swallow elephants whole in a single breath.

In the eastern swamplands of Qingqiu, heavy windstorms erupted without warning, accompanied by strange, winged shadows seen at dusk.

The ancient beast described there was Dafeng, a bird of prey with enormous wings capable of creating cyclones in flight.

In the southern Chouhua plains, seismic pulses indicated the presence of something buried beneath hardened earth—a creature with a humanoid torso, an animal's head, and jagged tusks.

Named Zaochi, it was said to feast on metal and roar like thunder.

To the west, in the Sangzi forest, a boar-like titan stirred beneath the mountains.

Clad in armored hide and long tusks, it was known in legend as Fengxi, a beast of overwhelming rage.

And in the north, by the shores of Fierce Water Lake, hydro-acoustic probes began picking up vocalizations—whispers that belonged to no known lifeform.

Beneath those waters lay Jiuying—a terrifying creature with nine heads, the body of a bull, and the tail of a dragon.

Each one of these six monsters matched the "Six Great Fiends" from the tales of Emperor Yao.

In the stories, the sun scorched the earth, and the people suffered. Six beasts emerged to wreak havoc.

The archer-god Houyi shot down nine suns and slew the monsters, restoring peace.

But the myths may have been wrong.

"What if Houyi didn't kill them?" Ailin asked during a closed Guild meeting.

"What if he only put them to sleep?"

Wang Junshi's voice was quiet as he responded.

"Then that peace… was always temporary."
