Godlike: Starting with the fusion of Dark Zagi

……

Seeing Thorton, who had been so arrogant just moments before, shouting that he would "beat him to submission," now cowering on the ground like a frightened quail, shouting "I submit," Angel Yan's eyes were filled with undisguised shock and astonishment.

It takes five seconds to circle the Earth once.

The Earth's equatorial circumference is approximately 40,000 kilometers. This means that Thornton's average speed after being blasted away by that punch reached an incredibly terrifying 8000 kilometers per second!

This speed far exceeds Earth's first cosmic velocity (7.9 km/s), and is even hundreds of times greater than the second (11.2 km/s) and third cosmic velocities (16.7 km/s)!

From a purely physical and celestial mechanics perspective, an object traveling at this speed would absolutely break free from Earth's gravitational pull instantly, like an out-of-control comet, and crash out of Earth's orbit, disappearing into the vast depths of the universe.

However, Thornton managed to circle the Earth's surface and fly back with pinpoint accuracy.

"It's that purplish-black energy that was covering him just now..."

Yan suddenly turned to look at Si Ye, her insightful eyes flashing. "That energy not only acted as a propulsion force, but also forcibly altered his force logic, confining him within Earth's gravitational orbit and forcibly completing a round-the-world flight?"

Si Ye nodded noncommittally, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"But that still doesn't make sense!" Yan pointed to the deep crater created by Soton, her tone tinged with a rare sense of despair. "Even if you controlled the trajectory, the kinetic energy Soton carried when it crashed into the ground at its maximum speed of 8000 kilometers per second was absolutely devastating! The instantaneous release of that amount of kinetic energy would tear apart and vaporize not only this commercial street, but the entire Tianhe City!"

"But now, apart from a crater a hundred meters deep being punched into the ground, there isn't even a shockwave strong enough to overturn a car! Is this... even scientifically possible?"

"That's scientific, of course."

Siye explained, "The conservation of kinetic energy is a fundamental law of the universe, and I naturally cannot erase it. However, I can change the way kinetic energy is transferred."

He pointed to Soton, who was curled up on the ground: "In the instant before it hit the ground, I used the residual gravitational wave energy within its body to construct an absolutely sealed internal circulation field. All the kinetic energy generated by its fall was completely collapsed inward, transferred and poured onto its own body without any leakage."

"Simply put, it didn't smash the earth; rather, it used its own body to withstand the meteorite-level kinetic energy impact that was enough to destroy the entire Tianhe City."

Upon hearing this utterly bizarre explanation, Angel Yan gasped. Her gaze towards Thornton instantly shifted from shock to deep sympathy.

This poor crocodile essentially crashed into itself at a speed of thousands of kilometers per second.

"However, the strength of a peak beast body is indeed terrifying."

Si Ye looked down at the trembling Soton, a hint of admiration flashing in his dark red eyes. "Facing the kinetic energy impact comparable to the point of detonation of a high-yield strategic nuclear bomb, its divine body gene chain did not collapse, nor did its internal organs rupture. It only felt excruciating pain due to neuronal overload."

"Your divine body technology... is indeed quite interesting."

Upon hearing this, Angel Yan's expression turned extremely strange, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly: "You call this...interesting? Is that a compliment?"

You beat someone so badly they flew around the earth, almost scrambled their brains, just to test how tough they were, and then casually said, "That was pretty interesting."

"Of course, it's a sincere compliment."

Si Ye nodded. "Your super gene technology, which deeply integrates dark energy with biological genes to create 'divine bodies,' is indeed a very interesting system for creating gods."

"This is completely different from the path that our visitor, Wenming, took back then. It's something I should learn from and emulate."

He looked at Thornton and added, "The force of that punch just now, if it were an ordinary alien beast, no matter how tenacious its vitality, would have been instantly crushed into molecules and atoms in the moment of kinetic energy collapse. But this crocodile not only withstood it, but its gene engine is also trying to repair itself."

"Although I had kept the power of that punch within an absolutely safe lower limit in order to ensure the integrity of the experimental materials, the resilience of this so-called 'Third Generation Divine Body' has indeed far exceeded my expectations."

Hearing Si Ye's nonchalant words, Angel Yan's face showed an undisguised look of horror. She swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask, "So... you didn't even use your full strength just now? If you had continued to increase your strength, you really could have killed a peak-level beast like Soton with a single punch?"

Si Ye nodded: "Theoretically, it is indeed possible to continue increasing the power."

"However, my current body is severely damaged, and its core is extremely unstable, making it impossible to precisely control such a massive amount of power. In the laws of physics, forces act in pairs. If I cannot perfectly control and guide it, but forcibly overload myself with that level of destructive power, the reaction force generated by that power will trigger an extremely dangerous backlash against my current body."

Angel Yan fell completely silent.

What kind of insane monster did the visitor create?!

According to the logic in his words, if his body was not damaged and he was in his prime, wouldn't he really be able to turn a peak Beast God into dust with one punch?

Treating three generations of officials like common soldiers?

Before Angel Yan could delve deeper into this terrifying conjecture, Si Ye had already averted his gaze.

"That's about it. We've got the basic data we needed. Time to go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Ye slowly raised his right hand.

"Buzz—"

A deep, violent, purplish-black aurora shot up from his palm and soared into the sky.

The once sunny commercial street was instantly torn open by this strange energy, creating a dark and deep spatial void.

The next instant, a purplish-black light cascaded down like a waterfall, enveloping Si Ye, Angel Yan, and Soton, who was still crouching in the ruins trembling.

Space distorted violently, and the three figures vanished from Tianhe City in an instant.

……

Time flies, and the viewpoint is instantly reconstructed.

When the spatial ripples before Angel Yan's eyes dissipated, she found herself no longer in the smoke-filled Tianhe City. The surroundings were lush with greenery, the environment extremely tranquil, and even a gentle breeze of the countryside wafted through the air.

Directly in front of them stood a large, luxuriously decorated detached villa.

Soton's massive body landed heavily on the smooth, soft lawn in front of the villa with a "thud." The beast god wisely rolled over and continued to obediently play dead, hugging its knees and tucking its tail in.

"Is this the outskirts of Juxia City?" Angel Yan looked around and quickly confirmed the coordinates through dark data reading. She looked at Si Ye with some doubt.

"It's too noisy in the city, I just bought it."

Si Ye walked towards the villa's gate with his hands in the pockets of his white coat.

Although he was an undocumented alien who had just arrived on Earth and didn't have a single penny of Earth currency, the Earth's financial network seemed a hundred times more fragile than paper to him.

In this pre-nuclear civilization where even the firewall of the Dark Dimension has not yet been established, so-called money is nothing more than a string of insignificant numerical codes in the central processing unit of a bank.

With just a tiny, subtle alteration to the underlying data along the network, he can conjure up as many zeros as he wants in an account.
