William Randa, a high-ranking Monarch employee, proposed the Hollow Earth hypothesis before people learned that monsters existed. Although he and Dr. Houston Brooks are credited with proving the theory in the MonsterVerse, especially in the movie Kong: Skull Island, the concept of the Hollow Earth actually dates back hundreds of years. The hypothesis was first proposed by English scientist Edmond Halley at the end of the 17th century. Although it was quickly disproved, the idea persisted in science fiction and fantasy. Specifically, works like Jules Vern's Journey to the Center of the Earth made significant contributions to expanding one's imagination of what the planet's interior would look like if the Hollow Earth actually existed. In Godzilla vs. Kong, The MonsterVerse has its own rendition.
Titans can travel extremely quickly around the globe thanks to the Hollow Earth, which Monarch has described as an open area deep inside the earth connected by a network of tunnels or caverns. In Godzilla vs. Kong, Dr. Nathan Lind claims that Titans can cover 1,000 miles in just two seconds. Because there are so many living monsters underground that aren't found on the surface, like the Nozuki and Warbat species, it is thought that the Hollow Earth is where the Titans come from. The throne Kong is seated on, his axe, and the Godzilla-like skeleton in the ground (which appears to be made up of other axes with dorsal spikes) all suggest that Kong's ancestors were the rulers of the Hollow Earth.
As soon as Randa and their U. S. 1973 saw the arrival of a military escort, and their findings on Skull Island confirmed their suspicions regarding the Hollow Earth. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, a submarine then transported Dr. Serizawa and a number of other characters through one of the tunnels to an ancient underwater city that is thought to have been Godzilla's home. Monarch enters the actual Hollow Earth world through the entry point in Antarctica in Godzilla vs. Kong, which advances the plot. It's not just Kong's home; it's also a location where people can live.Godzilla and Kong were bred to be rivals; their forebears engaged in a war that took place thousands of years before the events of the MonsterVerse movies, as first hinted at in the credits for Kong: Skull Island. Given what is depicted in the Hollow Earth, including the fact that Kong wields an axe made of one of Godzilla's dorsal spikes and that the throne room contained a shape that resembled Godzilla, it appears that Kong's ancestors prevailed in their protracted conflict. That may be why Godzilla already lived on the surface and his home was an underwater city rather than the Hollow Earth. Furthermore, Kong's throne is one that his forebears must have occupied as well, ruling the kingdom of monsters.
In that room, Kong discovers his axe, which is powered by an old dorsal plate from Godzilla's ancestors. The axe's hilt is also made of an enemy bone, but it is unknown which one. The axe is powered by radiation from the planet's core by being positioned in line with the Godzilla shape in the ground, especially the dorsal spike (the axe-filled skeleton charges up its Atomic Breath similarly to Godzilla does). According to Dr. Graham in the 2014 film Godzilla, Godzilla's species relies on radiation as a food source, which is why Godzilla and other monsters fled to the ocean's depths as the Earth's radiation decreased on the surface.
It's interesting that Kong's axe has two parts, one of which, at the end of Godzilla vs. Kong, saves both Kong and Godzilla. Along with being able to deflect Godzilla's Atomic Breath, the axe also has the ability to absorb its energy, or radiation, enabling Kong to unleash a powerful Atomic Breath explosion when it strikes the target. Kong uses it to confuse Godzilla during their battle in Hong Kong, and Godzilla later uses it to power the axe so Kong can also defeat Mechagodzilla. Kong has used spears in the past, both in Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla vs. Kong, but it is his axe that distinguishes him from other monsters and allows him (and his ancestors) to rule the Hollow Earth.The organization Apex Cybernetics, a business whose mission has been to dethrone Godzilla as the King of the Monsters, serves as the human antagonist in Godzilla vs. Kong. When people first learned about Godzilla, they had no idea how to stop him, and Monarch itself was unsure of what to do. The military started working on the Oxygen Destroyer because of this, which was used in King of the Monsters to battle Godzilla and Ghidorah, though it was unable to take out the latter. In order to combat the Alpha Titan and defend humanity from Godzilla's terror, Apex developed their own robotic Godzilla by borrowing from the Mechagodzilla II tale of the Heisei era.
Apex needed a special energy source that they believed to be inside the Hollow Earth in order to complete one of their plans, but they had no way of getting there due to a combination of their inability to find the proper entry points and the fact that people who went inside had never returned. The problem was Kong's willingness to leave Skull Island and enter the underground world. Dr. Lind was hired to assist Walter Simmons and Apex get there using Kong as a guide and Apex's HEAVs—specially designed aerial vehicles that could withstand the Hollow Earth's gravity field pressure.
The Hollow Earth itself didn't pique Apex and Simmons' interest, and neither did they give a fig about what the monsters and Kong were up to underground. In order to overcome the obstacles preventing Mechagodzilla from moving forward, they desired the energy source that came from the Hollow Earth, the radiation that charged Kong's axe in the throne room. Ren Serizawa, the late Dr. Serizawa's son, was able to connect with Mechagodzilla, but until that energy was put to use, the mech couldn't be "Godzilla's superior.". The issue, though, was that the energy also had other effects.As with many Toho monsters, Mechagodzilla has undergone numerous iterations over the years, with the MonsterVerse version drawing inspiration from a variety of sources. In this universe, Apex Cybernetics built Mechagodzilla, whose power was similar to that of Apex's HEAVs, but Ghidorah was the essential component that allowed the robot version of Godzilla to function. Although it was not immediately clear what Alan Jonah had in mind when he was seen acquiring one of Ghidorah's severed heads in the King of the Monsters post-credits scene, Walter Simmons and Apex Cybernetics later took control of the head and used it to create Mechagodzilla.
Ghidorah's three heads, each of which was capable of telepathic communication, gave the creature its singularity. Ren Serizawa was able to control Mechagodzilla from a distance, without actually being inside the enormous robot, by drawing on that ability—into Ghidorah's neural pathways. In addition, Godzilla or at least one of Godzilla's ancestors served as inspiration for the design itself. Along with having its own version of Godzilla's Atomic Breath, Mechagodzilla's arsenal and powers were on par with those of Apex Cybernetics. In many ways, this Mechagodzilla is similar to the one from the Heisei era. The monster's tail is equipped with a blade—in this case, a mechanical drill—which gives off a hint of the Showa era Mechagodzilla.Walter Simmons and Apex got to work replicating the energy source's signature after Maya Simmons sent up a sample of it. As Godzilla was already in Hong Kong looking for the Mechagodzilla threat, Simmons compelled Serizawa to build the energy source into Mechagodzilla without first testing it. Despite undoubtedly aiding Apex in overcoming the shortcomings of the mech, there were some problems with the integration. Ghidorah's consciousness awoke and electrocuted Serizawa by combining the Hollow Earth energy source with her severed head. It then struck Simmons physically, killing him. The last piece in bringing Ghidorah back to life—or, at least, to some extent—was that primordial energy source. Serizawa had control over Mechagodzilla during the Skullcrawlers' initial test, but during the final conflict with Godzilla and Kong, Mechagodzilla was actually Ghidorah the entire time, giving viewers a King of the Monsters rematch. the strength of Godzilla.The first battle between Godzilla and Kong in the sea was unjust to say the least. In contrast to Godzilla, who was in his natural habitat, Kong was restrained and chained for the majority of the flight to Antarctica. In the end, Monarch made the choice to have Kong submit to Godzilla in order to save the rest of the fleet from annihilation. (In order to prevent Godzilla from feeling threatened, they did this by shutting down each and every one of their engines. Godzilla felt threatened once more and attacked Kong with his Atomic Breath, which caused a hole to be made in the ground, after Kong took possession of his axe and used it inside the Hollow Earth. It ultimately resulted in their second and final battle, but despite what the movie's promotional materials claimed, the outcome wasn't made crystal clear.
