Plot
After falling down from the mouth of Hell, Godzilla slams into the vestibule and awakens, being greeted by an enormous rock tower rising from the ground engraved with the famous line "ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE." Godzilla destroys the tower with his atomic breath and moves on, passing through two cities with alien architecture before coming across a nuclear reactor. Peering inside, he is ambushed by a grotesque demon resembling a pile of organs crawling out from the smokestacks. Godzilla dispatches the demon and moves on again.
On the horizon an enormous cloud appears, made up of perhaps millions of souls, if not more, which are blown around by a tremendous storm. Godzilla walks through the cloud with difficulty but is confronted, in the "eye" of the storm, by what appears to be another Godzilla. However, it's only a disguise for another demon, this time larger, who puts up a better fight. In the end the demon attempts to devour Godzilla, which proves to be its downfall as a nuclear pulse from Godzilla destroys the demon from the inside out. However, the blast also weakens the ledge of Godzilla's current level, causing him to fall off of the ledge and plunge deeper into Hell.
