Godlike: Starting with the fusion of Dark Zagi

……

Meanwhile, Si Ye had already embarked on his journey to Tianhe City.

The faint, clandestine surveillance from Juxia City, though unable to harm him, was like a fly buzzing in his ear, further agitating Zaki's violent instincts.

In order to prevent his rationality from collapsing in silence, he chose to leave temporarily.

Angel Yan naturally followed closely behind.

The left-wing guard didn't think much of Si Ye's sudden change of location, assuming that the eccentric "old man" had finally had enough of the Super God Academy's clumsy surveillance methods and was planning to find a quiet place to "retire in peace."

At this time, Tianhe City remained prosperous and had not yet been affected by the impending war.

Kazuhiko and Tsukasa walked slowly through the bustling crowd in the shopping street, just like two ordinary tourists.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary disturbances, Yan cast a high-level illusion spell on herself.

To ordinary Earthlings, she was just a tall, stunningly beautiful blonde woman whose iconic white wings had long since obscured her physical form.

After all, walking down the street with an angelic, natural look would definitely turn heads.

Yan didn't care about the opinions of ordinary people, but she knew very well that the man beside her was someone who extremely disliked trouble.

Since we've decided to "observe closely," we naturally need to be mindful of this "elderly person's" feelings and minimize unnecessary interference.

Si Ye had already mentally resigned himself to Yan's persistent, clingy companionship.

Anyway, there was no ill intent, so whatever.

The reason he chose to come to Tianhe City at this time is because in his memory, there is a clear record in the plot of this universe—the peak beast warrior, Crocodile God Soton, will soon be "resurrected" in Tianhe City.

Last night, Si Ye conducted an in-depth genetic analysis of Qi Lin's blood sample.

Using the visitor civilization's biological god-making technology, he easily figured out the underlying logic and operating principle of the so-called "God River Generation" super gene.

However, that was only the most basic generation of genes.

His database remains blank regarding the more advanced second- and third-generation super genes in this universe.

Now, he urgently needs a live sample for comparative research.

And the Thornton that was about to break through the ground was undoubtedly a perfect "guinea pig" delivered to their doorstep.

On the sunny commercial street, Yan Zheng looked around at the shops with great interest, and even had the idea of ​​dragging Si Ye in to buy some Earth clothes and replace his flawed white coat.

However, at that very moment...

"boom--!!!"

A monster over two meters tall, covered in thick, dark red leather armor, and sporting a ferocious crocodile head, descended from the sky in a visually striking manner, landing right in front of the two.

After a moment of deathly silence, the once bustling street erupted into a cacophony of screams.

People dropped what they were holding in terror and shoved each other as they fled in all directions, turning the once bustling commercial street into chaos in an instant.

"How...how did this thing survive?"

Angel Yan, standing next to Si Ye, was slightly taken aback, her tone revealing a hint of surprise.

Of course she recognized this huge creature. A thousand years ago, this crocodile was created by Karl of the Styx civilization and thrown onto Earth to wreak havoc.

Later, it was Ah Zhui who took action and burned the thing to ashes. However, because Snow of the Styx intervened, Ah Zhui did not delete Soton's dark data. He only modified the big guy's brain and then joined forces with Snow to seal him away.

Logically speaking, without the angel's command code, this thing could never be resurrected.

The Grim Reaper of the River Styx is certainly not honest.

Yan instinctively clenched his fists, and the energy engine within his body began to fine-tune, preparing to step forward once again to carry out a righteous trial and give this Styx product, which should not exist on Earth, a complete physical exorcism.

But just as she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of Si Ye beside her out of the corner of her eye.

A brand new idea flashed through Yan's mind.

She stopped and turned back, looking at Si Ye with a smile, a hint of cunning and anticipation in her eyes:

"Hey, 'old man.' It's rare to run into a tough guy like you. How about... you show me what you've got and give me a taste of your skills?"

Si Ye's gaze remained silently fixed on Soton's slightly bewildered crocodile face. He merely gave a lukewarm response to Yan's suggestion:

"Sure. But first, you have to fill this guy's energy reserves."

"ha?"

Now it was Angel Yan's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Why? This guy has just been resurrected, and his gene engine is barely maintaining his vital signs; his energy reserves are almost depleted."

"In its current state, it can easily bully even the most ordinary first-generation angel warrior. But if it were fully charged, this thing would truly be a dangerous third-generation beast god. This is Earth's urban area, what do you want to do?"

"I can't take action if I'm not fully charged."

Si Ye said calmly, "If I were to use this nearly collapsed body to bully a piece of trash whose energy is depleted and whose defense has dropped to zero, it would be a meaningless and inefficient act. Such experimental data would not be of any reference value to me."

"Furthermore, I currently have some physical issues. My core is unstable, and my control over the output of that berserk power is very imprecise."

"If I don't replenish it with enough dark energy to fully activate its gene engine, I might accidentally kill it."

"For the purpose of further research, it is best to keep it alive."

Upon hearing these words, Angel Yan's expression instantly became quite varied.

"Are you... joking with me?"

"Are you saying you're afraid of 'misjudging' and getting killed by a 'peak beast-body warrior' with one punch?!"

"Please, this guy's greatest strength is that it's ridiculously tough! Even when Ah-Zhui burned it, it took the Great Judgment to burn it to ashes on a physical level."

"You're afraid of killing it with one punch? Do you really think a peak-level beast body is made of tofu?"

Even if she takes action herself, without using the Great Judgment, she won't be able to easily kill this guy through hand-to-hand combat alone.

"As I just said, I want to study the genetic logic of the three generations of beast bodies in this universe," Si Ye repeated. "If its genetic engine collapses directly during the battle, then there's no point in studying it. It's safer to restore its energy."

Faced with Si Ye's almost obsessive academic attitude, Yan hesitated.

"Replenishing all its energy is impossible." Yan finally compromised. "This thing is a Beast God. In a densely populated area like the city, if it were to return to its peak, the aftershocks of the battle would turn this place into a bloodbath. I don't want to risk the lives of thousands of mortals just to see you show off."

"I can replenish it with up to one-third of its dark energy. This energy is enough to fully activate its gene engine, restoring its basic mobility and defense capabilities, that is, the ability to 'take a beating,' which I can also control at any time."

Si Ye did a quick calculation and nodded: "Okay. As long as it doesn't die so easily."

Seeing that Siye agreed, Yan did not delay any longer.

Her eyes were instantly covered by a layer of holy white light, activating her Eye of Insight. She established a fundamental connection between her vast dark energy reserves and the gene engine within Soton's body, and began to forcibly charge it.

Feeling the immense power suddenly surging within him, Soton, who had been dazed and weak, suddenly jolted awake.

He stood up straight.
