Issue 1
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.
Issue 2
The issue opens with Godzilla looking out over a city when a demon representation of Rodan appears. Godzilla fights him off and enters an icy region where a demon Anguirus is frozen in ice. Anguirus is freed and the two start to fight, but the ice cracks and Godzilla falls into an endless ocean where he encounters a demon Varan. Varan is quickly deterred by Godzila's atomic breath, and a demon King Ghidorah appears behind him. Ghidorah's appearance creates a whirlpool, likening the situation to the Odyssey's Scylla (a many-headed monster) and Charybdis (a whirlpool). Godzilla is sucked into the whirlpool and the issue ends.
Issue 3
The issue starts off with the world in ruins while Godzilla and SpaceGodzilla are seen fighting in Rio de Janeiro, where the flaming wreckage of MOGUERA and the remains of Kiryu's arm are also located. SpaceGodzilla blasts his Corona Beam at Godzilla at full intensity, causing Godzilla to be consumed in flame. Godzilla withstands the attack, approaches SpaceGodzilla and fires his atomic breath at point blank range, knocking SpaceGodzilla down. After roaring in victory, Godzilla fires his atomic breath directly at his downed foe, but SpaceGodzilla fires his Corona Beam at Godzilla's atomic breath, causing them both to lock and explode, destroying the entire Earth. Godzilla then wakes up in Purgatory, where he sees angels with Mothra's wings, along with God, who takes the form of a multi-eyed mountain with the body parts of several different monsters on it. The angels and God try to persuade Godzilla to join Heaven's army, but Godzilla is not interested in the slightest. After crushing an angel in between his hands, Godzilla is thrown into Hell, where he lands in an icy cavern. There, he is confronted by a swarm of demons and a demonically-enhanced SpaceGodzilla. SpaceGodzilla tackles Godzilla and holds him in place so the demons can go down Godzilla's throat and consume his heart in order to make him a permanent servant of Hell. Luckily, the angels arrive and help Godzilla defeat SpaceGodzilla by giving him a powerful force field. After SpaceGodzilla's death, the angels try to persuade Godzilla to join them again, but Godzilla is still not interested and responds by sealing the entrance to Heaven with his atomic breath. The angels and demons then begin worshiping Godzilla, which yet again does not interest him. Godzilla even eats some of the angels and demons before continuing on his way.
Issue 4
Godzilla is seen roaring in victory after defeating King Ghidorah and Destoroyah. King Ghidorah appears to have scars on his eyes while Destoroyah's horn is missing, most likely torn off by Godzilla. As Godzilla walks away from his defeated foes, King Ghidorah's scars and Destoroyah's horn heal at a very fast rate and the two monsters get back up to resume their battle with Godzilla. Both kaiju attack Godzilla by blasting him with their beam attacks. Godzilla is then thrown into a building by Destoroyah's flying form. As Godzilla recovers from the attack, King Ghidorah attacks Godzilla before Destoroyah's flying and aggregate forms attack him as well. Eventually, King Ghidorah grabs Godzilla and drops him onto a Hellish version of the Tokyo Tower, impaling him. Despite the seemingly fatal injury, Godzilla frees himself and notices that a gigantic wall seems to be blocking the city. Godzilla tries blasting it with his atomic breath, but the wall regenerates every time Godzilla tries to destroy it. As Godzilla is distracted, Destoroyah decapitates him with his horn, only for Godzilla to instantly grow his head back. King Ghidorah and Destoroyah then brutally attack Godzilla in a way to torture him as Godzilla is forced to forever keep fighting them. Eventually, Godzilla allows himself to be defeated while King Ghidorah and Destoroyah turn on each other and fight. After watching the fight, Godzilla tries to destroy the wall again. King Ghidorah and Destoroyah see him and try blasting him with their gravity beams and micro-oxygen beam again, but Godzilla fires his atomic breath while ducking to avoid King Ghidorah and Destoroyah's attack. Godzilla manages to make a hole in the wall and continues on his way while King Ghidorah, Destoroyah, and the Hellish version of Tokyo fade away behind him. Eventually everything, including Godzilla, fades away.
Issue 5
Godzilla appears from a white void, still wandering through Hell. Quick climate changes such as blizzards bombard the King of the Monsters, but Godzilla presses ever onward. Coming to a large bridge at the edge of a waterfall of blood, Godzilla bursts through it and tumbles miles below into a pit of stalactites nearly as large as he is. Swatting some of the spires with his tail in anger, he moves on, unaware of vicious Hellbats emerging from inside the spires. The Hellbats quickly form a large swarm and follow Godzilla, who keeps the swarm at bay with his tail. Nearing the end of his journey, Godzilla comes face to face with his final trial: an impossibly tall mountain with swirling thunderclouds that completely dwarfs even him. At the top of said mountain sleeps the God-demon, a massive demon guarding the entrance to the world of the living. Godzilla tries to blast the demon with his atomic breath, but he can't seem to get it out. Ever determined, the King of the Monsters starts climbing the mountain to face the demon. The demon takes notice and causes a landslide to both knock Godzilla off the mountain and bury him under the rubble. Bursting forth, Godzilla seems to finally give up his last shred of hope of leaving Hell and closes his eyes, allowing the Hellbats to devour him alive. The Hellbats, sensing Godzilla's submission, go in for the kill. Swarming around Godzilla, the Hellbats devour every inch of Godzilla's flesh, leaving only his bones, which collapse into the rubble from the landslide. The Hellbats then begin to fly away, plump and satisfied, when they all suddenly convulse and each grow one eye. The Hellbats then start screeching out miniature versions of Godzilla's roar and fly back to his skeleton, swarming around it and reforming Godzilla's body with their own. The Hellbat-Godzilla then collectively roars at the God-demon in challenge, followed by each and every Hellbat firing its atomic breath simultaneously, thus causing a massive Godzilla-sized atomic blast to slam into the God-demon, killing it. The Hellbat-Godzilla then climbs the mountain and reaches the gate, and in the final page, a fully alive and reformed Godzilla bursts forth from the ocean, back in the world of the living, roaring in his ultimate triumph: he has finally escaped Hell itself.
