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

Late at night.

The light in the Lei family's study was still on.

Lei Zhenguo leaned back in a large mahogany chair, a specially supplied cigarette between his fingers, the smoke obscuring his face, which was filled with shock.

He has been in this position for a long time.

Across from him, Lei Kaihua was speaking animatedly and eloquently.

He described in a fantastical and almost supernatural way how Su Chen annihilated the USS Ronald Reagan carrier strike group with a single palm strike, and then conjured up a gigantic hand that covered the sky and "packed up" more than 300 aircraft and thousands of prisoners at Kadena Air Base and took them away.

"...Dad, you didn't see it! That hand, good heavens, it was bigger than our whole yard! It was gleaming gold! It snatched all those F-22s and F-35s like they were chicks, and took them all away in one go! Those American soldiers peed their pants right then and there, kneeling on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, kowtowing and praying to the gods. The scene was...tsk tsk, it was so satisfying!"

When Lei Kaihua got excited, he even stood up and gestured wildly, just like a storyteller. He imitated the terrified look of the American soldiers and their incoherent pleas for mercy with remarkable realism and dramatic flair.

Lei Zhenguo listened in silence, unaware that a long ash had accumulated in his hand.

His brain was still struggling to process the mind-blowing information he had just received.

He can kill an aircraft carrier with a single stroke and manipulate objects from the void.

This is not a high-tech weapon, nor is it an electromagnetic pulse.

This is true immortal magic, divine intervention!

He had crawled out of the hail of bullets his whole life, seeing more dead than living. He had commanded thousands of troops and simulated countless large-scale world wars. But all his knowledge and experience seemed so pale and laughable in the face of the scenes his son described.

He finally understood why the highest levels of government granted Kunlun and Su Chen such high levels of authority and provided them with such great support.

Because Su Chen represents more than just military strength.

He represents a civilization that has launched a dimensional attack from a higher dimension!

This was a completely new mode of warfare that he, a veteran, could not comprehend at all.

"You little brat..."

After a long while, Lei Zhenguo finally stubbed out his cigarette, shook off the ash covering his body, and looked up at his son with an extremely complex gaze. There was unfamiliarity, inquiry, and a hint of barely perceptible jealousy in his eyes.

"Your strength has increased quite a bit since you came back this time, hasn't it?"

"That's right!"

Lei Kaihua patted his chest triumphantly, and the air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment, a powerful aura flashing by. His military uniform fluttered and rustled even without wind.

"I'm a land-based god now! Although it's only at the beginner level, dealing with a hundred or so tanks shouldn't be a problem!"

Land immortals...

Dealing with a hundred or two hundred tanks... not a problem...

When Lei Zhenguo heard this word, which only appeared in myths and legends, being spoken so casually by his son, he was completely stunned.

He recalled his youth, when he would be excited for days if he could capture one more enemy soldier or seize one more gun during an exercise, and he could brag about it for half a year when he returned to the military compound.

Let's look at it now.

My own brat, the moment he opens his mouth he talks about dismantling aircraft carriers, packing up airplanes, and constantly calling himself a land-based god.

How can the difference between people be so great?

A complex mix of emotions—gratification, pride, and a touch of bittersweetness— welled up inside him. He felt as if his entire military career had been wasted.

"Alright, stop showing off in front of me."

Lei Zhenguo waved his hand irritably, lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, and tried to use nicotine to calm his shattered worldview.

"Your mediocre skills are nothing compared to those of your teachers; you're like a child in front of them."

"Of course!"

Lei Kaihua immediately seized the opportunity, his previous arrogance vanishing instantly, replaced by a look of worship and fanaticism.

"My cultivation is so low, I'm not even worthy to carry my master's shoes! You have no idea, my master has already reached the Golden Core stage! That's a true immortal!"

Golden Elixir Avenue...

Lei Zhenguo pondered this even more unfamiliar term, feeling as if his worldview had been refreshed once again. He even began to wonder if he was dreaming.

He sighed, deciding to stop dwelling on things beyond his comprehension. He took another document from the locked bottom drawer of his desk and tossed it to Lei Kaihua.

On the cover of the document bag, two eye-catching characters were printed in bright red.

Top secret.

"Take a look. This is the highest-level encrypted intelligence that was just transmitted back from the US this afternoon."

Lei Kaihua's playful expression vanished instantly.

He recognized the file folder and knew perfectly well what it meant when his father took out the file in this manner.

He solemnly took the document, tore off the seal, and opened it.

He took one look and his breath caught in his throat.

The document contains a series of updates on the "Genesis" project of Country M.

One satellite image, which was highlighted, caught his full attention.

The image shows the entrance to a massive underground base deep in the Nevada desert. The entrance is so enormous it's almost comical, resembling a gateway to hell.

Before that door, a gigantic humanoid creature, over fifty meters tall and as large as a mountain, slowly rose from the shadows.

The creature's form was much clearer and more terrifying than the "Doomsday" photos Su Chen had seen in DuPont.

Its entire body is dark gray, and its skin is not like flesh and blood, but rather like it is forcibly pieced together from countless corpses and rocks, rough and covered with hideous bone spurs.

Its limbs are incredibly thick and muscular, exuding explosive power. The tip of each finger is a massive bone claw comparable to a battering ram.

Its face has no eyes, no nose, only a huge, bottomless mouth like a black hole.

The giant mouth was surrounded by countless tiny, snake-like black tentacles that were slowly wriggling. Just looking at the photo was enough to make one feel a sense of nausea and shudder.

An aura filled with evil, chaos, and destruction emanated from the paper, causing even Lei Kaihua, the so-called "land immortal," to feel a chill run down his spine.

"What...what the hell is this?"

Lei Kaihua's voice was somewhat dry. He had been full of confidence just moments before, thinking that a hundred or eighty tanks would be no problem for him, but the moment he saw this monster, all his confidence was shattered.

He had a gut feeling that he might not even last a second against that thing.

They call it "Doomsday".

Lei Zhenguo's expression was extremely solemn. His knuckles were white from the force he was exerting.

"Based on intelligence from our highest-ranking informant in Area 51, codenamed 'Prophet'."

"This monster is the ultimate biological weapon they created by fusing the genes of the 'Tyrant II' with unknown biological cells extracted from a meteorite that crashed in the Nevada desert several years ago—the Doomsday."

"It possesses all the abilities of the 'Tyrant II', such as supersonic movement, super strength, and defense."

Lei Zhenguo paused for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

"On top of the original, those lunatics in the US added two, no, three more terrifying features to it."

"First, infinite evolution."

"Second, infinite regeneration."

At this point, Lei Zhenguo's voice trembled slightly.

"In addition, it possesses an even more terrifying ability."

Lei Zhenguo stared intently at his son and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Devour".

"It can devour any matter, including energy, to grow stronger."

"Whether it's the explosive energy of tanks, airplanes, missiles, or even... nuclear bombs."

"They will all just become its nourishment."

"Intelligence analysis suggests that detonating a nuclear bomb with a yield of ten megatons would not only fail to kill it, but would also cause its size and strength to increase several times over in an instant."

"In theory, it is a perpetual motion machine that can grow indefinitely."

Lei Kaihua felt a chill run down his spine and his hands and feet went cold upon hearing this.

It can evolve infinitely, regenerate infinitely, and even devour energy?

How the hell are we supposed to fight like this?

This is an unsolvable bug! It's an absolute, invincible, walking natural disaster!

Lei Zhenguo's gaze, however, became incredibly firm at this moment, even carrying a hint of fanaticism.

"No matter what kind of monsters the Americans come up with."

"I believe Su Chen has a way to solve this."

"Because he is the true god of this world."

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the deep night, as if he could already see the impending cataclysmic storm.

He paused, turned around, and looked at his son. In the old general's eyes, a burning flame reignited, filled with anticipation.

"And you are the sharpest sword in the hands of the gods."

"Kaihua, remember this."

"Next time, when the sword is drawn."

"We must thoroughly eradicate those demons and monsters who dare to defy the majesty of the gods!"
