Godlike: Starting with the fusion of Dark Zagi

……

Lena abandoned her previous nonchalant attitude, and her eyes became somewhat serious.

As the chief goddess of the planet Lieyang, she knew very well what fate awaited a civilization in the universe if it completely lost its fangs of self-defense.

Si Ye gazed at the gently rippling tea in his cup, as if through its clear reflection he could see the tragic history of the visiting civilization, a history filled with blood and fire.

"For the past tens of thousands of years, our civilization has been in a state of development characterized by absolute order and absolute peace."

"No war, no plunder, not even competition within civilization. It sounds perfect, but the price is that we lose the sense of urgency to survive. As a result, our technological development becomes extremely slow, and for a long time, the entire civilization's technology tree is in a stagnant state."

"Until the arrival of the alien beasts."

"They were monsters that fed on fear and despair. They tore through our defenses and treated our people like livestock to be slaughtered. Without systematic weapons, our pride in reason and rules became a complete joke in the face of such calamities that defied reason."

Si Ye raised his head and looked at Lena: "If it weren't for the arrival of the 'Light of Noah' later, which miraculously destroyed those alien beasts, the Visitor civilization would have been completely wiped out a thousand years ago."

Lena listened intently, imagining the awe-inspiring feeling of an entire civilization awaiting death in despair, only to be redeemed by the gods at the last moment.

"It was during that darkest hour of fighting against the alien beasts that the Visitor civilization was forced to begin its self-rescue."

Si Ye continued, "The pressure to survive became the strongest catalyst. The vast but stagnant basic scientific theories accumulated over the past tens of thousands of years were transformed into tangible results in a very short period of time. Our technology experienced an explosive growth, and the level of our civilization achieved an incredible leap in just a few hundred years."

"But what's laughable is that..." Si Ye's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Even though we have mastered the technology that can rewrite the rules of the galaxy, my people still despise 'violence' to the core."

"They deeply worshipped the light of salvation that pulled civilization out of the abyss, regarding 'Noah' as ​​the only true god. At the same time, they harbored a deep-seated fear of the dark power of the alien beasts that could destroy everything, fearing that such an apocalypse would come again."

Siye twirled the teacup in his hand, his fingertips tapping lightly on the inside of the cup.

"It was under this extreme worship of light and extreme fear of darkness that the Supreme Council of the visiting civilization made a crazy decision—they launched the 'Zaki Project'."

"They are attempting to use technology to replicate their own 'god,' a shield of civilization created solely to protect visitors."

"Extreme fanaticism blinded them to their scientific abilities. Their blind worship of light made them completely ignore a fundamental law of conservation of light in the universe—when artificial light reaches its peak, the darkness hidden behind that light will inevitably be devastating."

Listening to Si Ye's narration, Lena felt a chill run down her spine. She seemed to be witnessing an extremely fanatical civilization that, in its fervent imitation of the gods, had personally conceived an ultimate demon.

She swallowed hard, looking at the cold-looking man before her, and involuntarily compared him to the black giant who exuded endless destructive aura from last night.

Just as Lena was deeply shocked by this heavy and desperate history of civilization's development, frantically sorting through the logical relationships between "alien beasts," "Noah," and the terrifying "dark giant" from last night, and was about to continue asking questions...

Si Ye had already stood up without any warning.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for today."

He looked down at Reina, who was still sitting in the chair, his dark red eyes regaining their usual calm and stillness.

"I've said what I needed to say. As for more details, I don't want to recall those things that are rotting in the ruins."

Without giving Lena any chance to stay or ask questions, Si Ye casually picked up the white coat draped over the back of the chair, leaving only two cold words:

"goodbye."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the private room and disappeared at the end of the restaurant corridor, leaving Lena alone, mouth agape, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

……

As night deepens, the dazzling neon lights of Juxia City shimmer outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Si Ye pushed open the door to the penthouse suite. The room was dark, with no lights on, but he paused slightly as soon as he took his first step into the foyer.

In the extremely keen perception of the Dark Destroyer, a strange yet familiar dark energy fluctuation, which did not belong to this room, was clearly detected.

Si Ye didn't even bother to turn on the lights. He simply turned his head slightly in the darkness, his gaze sweeping across the spacious living room and locking onto the balcony outside the French windows. His tone carried a hint of displeasure at being disturbed:

"Silently lurking in someone's home—is this what your civilized society calls etiquette?"

"Oh, that's unfair of me."

Accompanied by a slightly teasing, clear female voice, a faint silver reflection suddenly appeared in the deep night outside the balcony.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a beautiful female angel with radiant golden hair, dressed in exquisite silver armor, leaned against the railing with one arm crossed over her chest, a playful smile on her lips.

The bright moonlight shone on the pair of pure white wings behind her, making her appear as divine as a goddess.

It was the angel Yan who had tried to spy on Siye in near-Earth orbit yesterday, but was caught red-handed.

Yan raised an eyebrow at Si Ye inside the house through the glass, and argued confidently, "I'm very well-mannered. My feet are still on the edge of the balcony, and I haven't even stepped into the door of your room. In the laws of the known universe, this doesn't count as trespassing."

As she spoke, she even extended a slender white finger and gently tapped three times on the soundproof glass door.

"Tap, tap, tap."

"So, this mysterious 'visitor' gentleman..." Yan tilted her head and asked with a smile, "May I come in now?"

Looking out the window at the female angel whose eyes and brows revealed a hint of cunning and arrogance, Si Ye remained silent for a moment in the darkness, a deep sense of speechlessness welling up in his heart.

First, there was the Sun Goddess, Di Leina, who forcibly dragged people out to eat on the street and was so outgoing that she could be described as a "social thug."

Now, another angelic left-wing guard has arrived, even more outgoing, who runs to the man's balcony in the middle of the night to knock on the door.

Are all these so-called "goddesses" in this universe really that thick-skinned?

Looking at this "famous scene" that should have made countless otaku on Earth's blood boil and their hearts race, Si Ye's heart did not stir up even the slightest ripple, nor did he feel the excitement and thrill of traveling to a fantasy world and meeting the characters from the story.

too long.

Beneath this black-haired, red-eyed body, the soul that originally belonged to an ordinary Earthling had long been eroded and riddled with holes over the long years.

He was reborn in the "Visitor Civilization," which has been more than a thousand years in total.

For ten centuries, he witnessed the absolute peace of that most stagnant civilization, and he also personally faced the darkest period when alien beasts chewed up their own kind as if they were food.

He once knelt before the miraculous light called "Noah," tears streaming down his face, and he also personally nurtured the dark god of destruction capable of devouring everything in this endless despair and madness.

Compared to the immense and overwhelming history of the rise and fall of civilizations spanning millennia, the mere twenty-odd years of memories of Earth in my previous life have long since become as insignificant as a speck of dust.

He is now the last remnant of the Visitors' civilization, the embodiment of Dark Zagi.

Therefore, when faced with these young "goddesses" who exude youthful vitality and wield great influence in the known universe, Si Ye only felt somewhat tired.

The feeling is like a lonely old man who has experienced countless separations and deaths and carries a heavy history, sitting in his own yard, watching two energetic and mischievous little girls chattering and jumping around in front of him.

There was nothing but helplessness.

"Come in."

Si Ye finally sighed and casually pressed the switch on the wall.

The warm yellow light instantly dispelled the darkness. He walked to the sofa and sat down, watching Angel Yan walk in through the balcony door, his dark red eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Speak, winged lady. What brings you here in the middle of the night?"
