If I made you a special forces soldier, would you become a terrestrial god?

Lei Kaihua's voice echoed in the command tower, every word crystal clear.

"The first batch of 'genetically modified soldiers'..."

Su Chen's fingertips tapped lightly on the smooth armrest, making a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound.

His expression remained unchanged, as if he had not heard a military secret that would shake the world, but a trivial matter.

Gao Dazhuang's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and an aura of iron-blooded ruthlessness unconsciously emanated from him.

"These bastards, they actually managed to make something of themselves? A breakthrough? How big of a breakthrough?"

Lei Kaihua's expression also turned serious, and he shook his head.

"Specific intelligence has not been released. The US has done an impeccable job of keeping things under wraps. Our intelligence personnel only know that they succeeded, but no video or audio footage has been leaked. It's like an airtight black box."

"A black box?"

A hint of amusement crept into the corners of Su Chen's mouth.

"Then let them stay in the box and have fun."

His voice was calm, yet it instantly put everyone present at ease, their hearts still pounding because of the "genetically modified warrior."

Yeah, why are they panicking?

Even if a group of ordinary people, using ordinary methods, pushes the technology tree to the heavens, how powerful can the things they create really be?

Before a true god, they are nothing more than a group of stronger ants.

……

Meanwhile, far away on the other side of the world, deep in the Nevada desert, lies the legendary Area 51.

The mystery and desolation of the past are long gone here.

Instead, there was an unprecedented uproar and frenzy.

Countless top scientists from all corners of the Western world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the United States, have gathered here.

Their faces bore an expression that was a mixture of fanaticism, ambition, and utter exhaustion, like a group of the most devout believers, working day and night on a "deification" movement aimed at challenging the laws of life.

Inside a top-level laboratory, heavily guarded by dozens of fully armed soldiers.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the huge, cylindrical culture chamber made of bulletproof glass in the center of the laboratory.

Inside the warehouse, there was a viscous liquid that emitted an eerie green glow.

A massive humanoid silhouette was slowly, rhythmically, beating like a heart in the liquid.

Countless thick tubes connected to his body, delivering various nutrient solutions mixed with potent hormones, special viruses, and unknown gene fragments.

"Vital signs are stable!"

"Heart rate 180! Still rising!"

"Muscle tissue activity is 20 times greater than that of a normal human!"

"Bone density is being rebuilt! It has reached the strength of aerospace-grade titanium alloy!"

A white scientist in charge of monitoring the data reported rapidly, his voice trembling uncontrollably—a mixture of fear and excitement!

"Doctor! The energy injection has reached the critical level! If this continues, the culture chamber may not be able to withstand it!"

Standing in front of the control panel was a man with gray hair but eyes as sharp as an eagle's; he was Dr. Archibald Kane, the head of the "God's Forbidden Zone" project.

He stared intently at the increasingly clear outline in the incubation chamber, his eyes burning with a flame called "madness".

"Increase the power!"

He roared like a gambler who had lost all his chips.

"I want to witness it with my own eyes! A completely new species, a perfect god born solely for slaughter, will be born in my hands!"

"Yes, sir!"

The operator gritted his teeth and pushed the energy output lever all the way to the top!

"Buzz—!"

The lights throughout the laboratory flickered violently due to the energy overload!

The green liquid inside the culture chamber began to boil wildly, with bubbles churning, just like boiling water!

"roar--!"

A deep roar, unlike anything human, but more like the awakening of an ancient ferocious beast, suddenly resounded from the incubation chamber!

Immediately afterwards!

"Snap—!"

A tiny crack appeared on the special bulletproof glass that was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of rockets!

"Warning! Warning! Incubation chamber integrity damaged! Energy leak!"

The piercing alarm instantly resounded throughout the entire laboratory!

Dr. Kane seemed not to hear him; he opened his arms and a delirious, manic smile spread across his face.

"Come, my child! Let me see your strength!"

"Snap! Snap, snap!"

Cracks spread wildly across the glass surface like a spider web!

next second!

"boom--!"

The massive culture chamber exploded with a deafening roar!

Countless shards of glass, mixed with a viscous green liquid, were splattering wildly in all directions!

A terrifying monster, three meters tall, with bulging muscles and eerie bluish-gray skin, appeared before everyone!

He had no hair, no facial features, and his face was just a gaping maw stretched to his ears, filled with sharp teeth!

His chest heaved violently, and with each breath, he exhaled a stream of hot, white air!

"I did it... I did it..."

Dr. Kane looked at his "masterpiece" and muttered to himself, trembling with excitement.

However, before he could finish speaking...

The newly "born" monster, its scarlet eyes filled with madness and bloodlust, suddenly locked onto the scientist in the white lab coat closest to it!

"roar!"

A roar!

The monster's enormous body charged forward with a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to its size!

"No! Number One! Stop!"

Dr. Kane's expression changed drastically, and he frantically pressed the red button on the control panel!

But it's already too late!

"Pfft!"

A muffled thud as flesh was easily torn apart!

The scientist didn't even have time to scream before he was easily torn in two by that bluish-gray giant claw!

Warm blood and shattered entrails were splattered all over the laboratory floor!

A strong, pungent smell of blood instantly filled the air!

The monster grabbed the still twitching limb, stuffed it into its gaping maw, and began to chew it frantically. The cracking sound of bones breaking was clearly audible to everyone.

This scene terrified all the scientists present who considered themselves "civilized people." Many of them collapsed to the ground on the spot, and some even vomited!

"Quickly! Activate Level A Response Plan!"

Dr. Kane finally snapped out of his shock and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Sizzle—!"

Dozens of high-voltage electric shock devices extended from the walls and ceiling of the laboratory, and thick blue arcs of electricity shot out instantly, binding the monster that was feeding tightly!

"roar--!"

The monster let out a painful roar, its massive body convulsing violently under the terrifying electric current!

Even so, it did not fall. Instead, it struggled even more violently, and its powerful force caused the wall to groan under its strain!

Finally, several huge syringes filled with large doses of sedatives were shot down from the ceiling and precisely pierced the back of its neck.

Under the combined effects of tens of thousands of volts of high-voltage electric shock and an extremely large dose of sedative, this terrifying monster finally, unwillingly, slowly collapsed.

The entire laboratory was a mess.

The scientists, who had survived the ordeal, were panting heavily, their faces filled with lingering fear.

Dr. Kane staggered over to the mangled corpse. Looking at the mess on the ground, he felt no fear, but rather a greater excitement.

"A perfect killing machine... devoid of reason, devoid of emotion, possessing only the purest, most primal instinct for destruction..."

He crouched down and picked up a crushed tactical terminal from a pool of blood, then pulled up the data he had just recorded.

"Peak power output exceeds four tons!"

"Conventional small-caliber weapons are completely ineffective against it!"

"With cell activity fifty times that of an average person, as long as the brain and heart aren't hit, they're practically immortal!"

"Its combat capabilities... have completely surpassed the realm of humanity! It's equivalent to a light tank capable of high-speed movement!"

Dr. Kane looked at this terrifying series of data and a look of ecstatic joy spread across his face.

He knew he had opened Pandora's box.

But he didn't care!

He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the layers of obstruction, looking towards the distant east.

That country where a giant red dragon dwells.

Now, he also has a sharp sword that can slay dragons!

Just then, the laboratory door was pushed open, and a man in a black suit with a cold expression walked in, followed by two operators of holographic projection equipment.

"The President's video conference," the man said succinctly.

Soon, the face of the highest leader of the United States, filled with eagerness and anticipation, appeared on the holographic projection.

"Dr. Kane, I need an answer."

Dr. Kane straightened his blood-stained white coat, then gave the screen a confident yet maniacal smile.

"Mr. President, please allow me to introduce to you our greatest masterpiece."

He turned to the side so that the president in front of the screen could clearly see the terrifying three-meter-tall monster lying in a pool of blood, its chest still heaving violently.

"We call it, 'Tyrant'."

"Our first generation, God!"
