Synopsis for this issue
In the Asian Mountains, a monk reads over ancient scrolls saying that whoever sacrifices themselves for mankind shall become one with the "dragon king". He notices a snake slithering across the page, saying "It is awakening", and goes to ancient temple ingrained within the mountains. He then performs a ritual bringing to life the dragon king, King Ghidorah at the cost of his own. Meanwhile, Steve and Alice have stopped for a rest, with Alice playing tea while Steve laments on how she'll grow up in the new world made by these kaiju. A supplies plane flies by, capturing Steve's attention and instructs Alice to stay put while he deals with the group waiting for the plane to drop supplies. A fight breaks out between the survivors with Steve and Alice making their way out of the area with a plentiful bounty. Meanwhile, in Paris, Minette and Mallorie eat cheese while lamenting the lack of "subjects" for them to order around; as well as the currently cocooned Battra not yet awakening. However, Rodan arrives and begins causing destruction to the city, much to Minette and Mallorie's protests. However, Battra awakes and is ordered by the twins to kill Rodan; but it ends with the twins discovering they could control both kaiju. Noticing a newspaper detailing Godzilla's attack, Minette and Mallorie decide to fly to America with Battra and Rodan to control the King of the Monsters. Meanwhile, Alice experiences a nightmare and is calmed down by Steve saying they have to move because their kaiju detection device started beeping. To calm Alice down, Steve gives her chocolate and the two move along, with Angurius in the distance not noticing the two. The issue concludes with Godzilla being confronted in Washington, D.C. by King Ghidorah.

Original Solicitation
"So much for good old-fashioned American ingenuity! After the historic fail of Detroit's latest 'hybrid,' the world searches for something-anything-else to pin its hopes on. Hey, speaking of hybrid... What do you get when you cross a dragon with a couple of other dragons? Uh-huh. Hail to the King, baby, in Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters #7."

Trivia
  • The awakening of Ghidorah and role is similar to his role in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. His design is as well shown to be based off of his King Ghidorah/GMK, which is the design seen in the film.
  • Battra's cocoon and transformation into his imago form is very similar to Mothra's transformation in her debut film. With it being in France instead and the Effiel Tower in place of the Tokyo Tower. On a note to more Mothra and Battra comparisons, Minette and Mallory are very much opposites to the Shobijin.

​Synopsis for "While Tokyo Burns"
Makoto Sato is at a bar, drinking alcohol in response to a television broadcast showing several monsters destroying Tokyo.

Earlier, it is explained that the Elias were the guardians of Mothra, a monster who kept balance and stopped kaiju from battling each other to keep the world in order. The guardians of the Elias were tasked to protect them at all costs. As a result, they traveled to Tokyo to retrieve the small fairies. Meanwhile in Tokyo, Ryota Takahashi was glad to now be able to come out of the shadows and bring the city down through the Elias. Right then, the guardians of the Elias showed up and asked Takahashi to give them back the fairies. Takahashi refused and shot the guardians before leaving. Later on, Makoto and his son found their dead bodies on the sidewalk. They walked into the bar right then, with Makoto sorrowfully explaining that this was his fault and that he had upended a balance in the universe.

As the monsters destroyed the area surrounding Tokyo, Takahashi was watching it unfold. The Elias told him he couldn't keep doing this, to which Takahashi responded pointing to the deaths of their guardians earlier. Takahashi was interrupted by Oshii and began to ponder about discussing terms for a ransom to save the city. Back at the bar, Jiro manages to convince his father to stop pitying himself and he comes up with a plan. They go to a G-Force training base where they go unnoticed in all the chaos. They spot Koji Sato but avoid him, though Koji still notices them passing by. Jiro, having dropped out from the G-Force after some time, used his knowledge to bypass the security of a hangar that contained something. Right then, Koji caught up to them and surprised them. Koji reached out for the alarm, and Makoto anxiously explained he did not kill his partner. Koji figured that, and only stopped after Jiro told him that they knew how to save the city. Koji warned Makoto and Jiro that there was a reason that the weapon inside the hangar had been retired, and it was because it failed to defeat Godzilla every single time. Makoto paid no attention to that. Instead, he said simply, they were using Mechagodzilla not to stop Godzilla, but to stop Takahashi.

Original Solicitation
"With the help of Mothra, Detective Sato thought he had the Takahashi crime syndicate on the ropes... but Takahashi isn't going down without a fight! Sato is once again helpless as his son is kidnapped and Mothra is no longer in his control. Never one to give up, Sato decides to just think bigger. But what's bigger than Mothra? The chaos nears its conclusion!"
