Pop culture- Godzilla. The process of elimination might help you in the future: babies aren't biblical, Japan isn't historical as it is still current, and scattered toys aren't mythological.

The answer is POP CULTURE - GODZILLA.

Step-by-step explanation:

An allusion is a figure of speech that refers to a famous character, a book, a film, or a well-known piece of art.

In this case, the given short text refers to GODZILLA, which is a fictitious monster created in 1954 by Japanese filmmakers. The giant Godzilla has been the protagonist of many films in which he destroys everything he comes across.
