"Deep within the ocean lies the greatest mystery"
According to Norse mythology, the Kraken is a legendary sea monster of gigantic size, with the appearance of a cephalopod, dwelling off the coasts and terrorizing nearby sailors. Many suffered and drowned because of the strong waves caused by the sea as there were continuous wars beneath it.
In the 3000s, when robots dumped their tech old mechanic parts and waste into the ocean, they unknowingly poured it on a prehistoric marine animal in its habitat. As the sea creature evolved and adapted to its environment, it began feeding on cyborg technology. It gradually grew over a period of 100 years, and eventually became the tech-powered Kraken.
During a Tsunami in Japan, on the day Godzilla was to awaken, Kraken rose from the sea to combat its malevolent adversaries that threatened its survival.
After an epic battle, the Kraken deafeated Godzilla, leaving a colossal destruction, and then made its way toward the post-apocalyptic battleground. From afar, cyborgs had witnessed this battle and spread what they had seen, which led to the creation of kraken-inspired robots. These suits and armors are the ultimate symbols of power and authority.
