## Chapter I: Mysterious Giant Stones

This sub-event revolved around completing daily tasks to obtain Meteorite Fragments, which could then be contributed to the Monster Puzzle. There were three Monster Puzzles, each with a 1-week period to complete. This task was a server-wide task, meaning that players cooperated with other members of their Server to complete the Puzzles and earned prizes for doing so.

## Chapter II: Monsters Awakened (Rodan)

This sub-event ran from 12/21/2022 to 12/25/2022, and featured the Kaiju Rodan as a limited-time boss. Similarly to the Pangolin, players were able to challenge Rodan 15 times a day, earning points for their top 5 damage contributions. Rodan would only be available for two hours at a time, departing at the end of this duration. He would then be unavailable to battle for another two hours. Also like the Pangolin, a player could choose to Invade Rodan, battling him on their own, or initiate a Rally.

## Chapter III: Power of the Sacred Tree (Godzilla)

This sub-event ran from 12/26/2022 to 12/30/2022, and featured the Kaiju Godzilla. Unlike Rodan, Godzilla could not be fought directly; instead, it was necessary to obtain Life Crystals through daily tasks in order to play the "Deliver Life Crystals" minigame and score points. This minigame utilized the same mechanics as the popular mobile game Flappy Bird, in which the player taps the screen in order to control a flying creature and guide it through columns of obstacles. Following the end of the event, Godzilla was calmed by the Sacred Tree and ceased his rampage.

## Chapter IV: King Ghidorah Approaching (King Ghidorah/Mothra)

This part consisted of two simultaneous events with a structure similar to the Seasons-themed events. In each sub-event, it was necessary to gather both Mud and Dewdrops by hunting Wild Creatures, gathering Resources, using Diamonds, or using Speedups.

### Chapter III-a: Defense Tower Construction

    This sub-event focused on King Ghidorah, revolving around the construction of the titular Squirter Defense Tower to stop him. In order to construct the Defense Tower, players would complete tasks to earn up to 40 units of Mud, and send out Scout Ants to deliver the Mud to the tower in order to increase its power.

## Chapter V: Monster War (Rodan, Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Mothra)

This sub-event involved all four of the Kaiju, pitting Godzilla and Mothra against Rodan and King Ghidorah. It was similar to the Mysterious Giant Stones sub-event, requiring players to cooperate with the rest of their Server by collecting Cube Sugar to restore either Godzilla's or Mothra's health as they fought the enemy Kaiju. Once the Cube Sugar was earned, it functioned similarly to the Seasons Event "event tokens" in that there was a chance of a critical being applied, multiplying the output of a Cube Sugar. It was possible to earn up to 200 Cube Sugars per day without purchasing packs.

## Chapter VI: Space Portal (Godzilla, Mothra)

This sub-event was the last chapter of the collaboration, centered around restoring the Broken Space Portal to return Godzilla and Mothra to their homeland. This was done by collecting Trilobite Fossils, found by battling the "Trilobite Fossil" creature in the World. It was possible to earn up to 200 Trilobite Fossils per day.
