Godlike: Starting with the fusion of Dark Zagi

……

Although Si Ye managed to keep the commotion he caused in Tianhe City within a very small physical range, the terrifying energy fluctuations that erupted in that instant could not possibly escape the notice of the Super God Academy, whose nerves were always on edge.

On the large screen in the underground command center, the few seconds of footage captured by Deno III from the commercial street of Tianhe City was being played repeatedly.

The entire hall was completely silent.

Looking at the peak beast god Soton, who had brought endless bloodshed and fear to Earth a thousand years ago and was even listed as an extremely dangerous target in the top-secret database of the Super God Academy... now he was squatting at the feet of the black-haired, red-eyed man like a punching bag, hugging his knees. Lianfeng and the group of battle-hardened scholars all fell into a deathly silence.

"Is this what they call... beating someone into submission?"

Jess pushed up his sunglasses, his voice hoarse, "That was a third-generation beast warrior created by Death God Karl, and it was just... taken down with a single punch?"

Lianfeng took a deep breath, forcing herself to look away from Soton's miserable appearance, and quickly swiped her fingers across the control panel, zooming in on the blonde woman's figure on the screen.

"The woman standing with Siye should be the angel who descended upon Tianhe City before," Lianfeng reported solemnly. "Deno III is completely unable to analyze her dark data, and the dark energy signal emanating from her body matches the records in the database perfectly."

Lianfeng pulled up another set of energy wave diagrams, her tone revealing undisguised shock: "Based on the analysis of the residual dark energy fluctuations at the scene, before Siye made his move, that angel... seemed to be actively and forcibly replenishing Soton's dark energy."

Upon hearing this, Dukao's expression changed instantly.

"To replenish energy?"

Rose, standing to the side, frowned, somewhat puzzled. "The enemy has just revived, and instead of taking advantage of their weakest moment to eliminate them, they're replenishing their energy? What are they trying to do?"

Before Lianfeng could even speak, Lena, who hadn't really had a proper meeting before, suddenly abandoned all her laziness, sat up straight, and looked unusually serious.

"Rose, you are only a second-generation super soldier now. You don't quite understand the underlying operating logic of the third-generation divine body."

Lena turned to look at Rose, whose face was full of doubt, and unusually took on the role of a science teacher: "Simply put, the reason why the third-generation divine body is called 'god' is because its super genetic resistance has reached an extremely abnormal level. Even when faced with a direct hit from a high-yield nuclear bomb, the high temperature and shock wave of that level cannot break the third generation's genetic chain."

"However, this extraordinary resistance to immortality doesn't arise from nothing. It requires a massive amount of energy to sustain it."

"To put it bluntly, when you are hit in the face by a nuclear bomb, in order to resist this devastating impact, the gene engine in your body must consume an equal or even excessive amount of dark energy to instantly reorganize the damaged cells and maintain the integrity of your divine body."

"If your energy reserves are insufficient or even depleted at this time, the gene engine will crash due to overload."

"Once the engine crashes, the self-repair ability of the divine body will plummet. Under such circumstances, if we continue to bombard it with nuclear weapons, theoretically, we could absolutely kill a third-generation god alive."

"Of course, at least so far, there has never been a god in the known universe who was killed by a nuclear bomb."

"Similarly, if a third-generation god has abundant energy and his engine is running at full power... then even if you shower him with a nuclear bomb, he won't die. Because while the nuclear bomb is damaging his body's surface, as long as there's even the slightest opening, the gene engine will consume energy and complete the repair within milliseconds."

"This is the reason why the third-generation divine bodies can dominate in cosmic wars."

After explaining these basic concepts, Lena turned her gaze back to the man in the white coat on the big screen, a hint of undisguised apprehension flashing in her eyes.

"That Crocodile God Soton is a peak-level beast-body warrior. In terms of pure physical defense, it is even significantly stronger than our third-generation divine bodies of the Divine River Body."

Lena swallowed hard and continued her analysis, "But when it was resurrected from the seal and landed, its energy was almost zero. Even if it was a peak beast form, its bodily functions and defenses were extremely vulnerable in that malfunctioning state."

"And the angel replenished Thorton's energy at this time for only one purpose: to fully activate its gene engine and restore its abnormal defense and self-repair capabilities."

Lena took a deep breath. "After that, that guy named Siye made his move, and he even pulled off this terrifying scene where he sent the Beast God flying around the Earth with a single punch. If I'm not mistaken... the reason he had the angels charge Soton was because he was afraid he might accidentally beat that weakened crocodile to death!"

The temperature in the conference room seemed to drop to freezing point instantly.

"One punch... almost killed a peak-level Beast God at full defense?"

Lena rubbed her slightly stiff cheeks. "To be honest, this goddess is a little scared of that guy now."

She glanced at the silent Dukao, scratching her head in frustration. "Although I am the Light of the Sun, nominally possessing the ultimate power to destroy stars, the essence of this power is called 'Star Drive Technology'!"

"I need to use complex calculations to drive stellar energy before I can guide and release it, causing massive destruction—like a human nuclear bomb. It's like a mage casting a forbidden spell in a video game; this thing has a damn wind-up animation!"

Lena pointed at Si Ye's seemingly nonchalant punch on the screen, her voice slightly trembling with excitement:

"But what about that guy?! He didn't have any dark energy calculation animation, not even a starting stance! A casual straight punch he threw was comparable to a high-yield strategic nuclear bomb!"

"Are you sure this isn't a joke?!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely heavy.

Under Lena's simple and blunt analogy of "game mage," even Rose, who originally had only a vague understanding of high-level divine body technology, now completely understood just how incredible this matter was, and... how utterly despairing it was.

A single punch could unleash the power of a strategic nuclear explosion. This means that if the opponent truly harbored destructive intentions, he wouldn't even need to mobilize a massive fleet like the Taotie to clean up the mess. He could simply stroll around like he was taking an evening walk in the park, casually throwing a punch wherever he went, and the entire Earth's surface would be reshaped!

Most fatally, this simple and brutal attack method is outrageously crude, without any dark data calculation process or any pre-emptive energy mobilization.

All of Super God Academy's existing defense and countermeasure systems are completely helpless against this type of attack!

You can use tactics to interrupt a mage's spellcasting while they are standing still and casting a spell.

But how do you stop a warrior with all attributes maxed out from casually throwing that ordinary punch?

"General."

Lianfeng took a deep breath. "I request that we immediately begin formal contact with Siye. We can't wait any longer. The power they possess far exceeds all our expectations. This uncertainty is too dangerous for Earth."

Dukao nodded solemnly: "Agreed. We absolutely cannot allow an entity of this caliber to misjudge Earth. However..."

He stared at the empty ruins of Tianhe City on the big screen, his brow furrowed: "Where is he now? The surveillance footage shows that after dealing with Crocodile God Soton, he activated that strange spatial teleportation technology and left directly."

"The other party doesn't seem to have any intention of concealing their whereabouts at all."

Lianfeng immediately started typing rapidly on the main console, pulling up a real-time data monitoring chart. "At the same time that the special purplish-black energy fluctuation in Tianhe City disappeared, the exact same special energy signal feedback also appeared in the area of ​​Juxia City."

As he spoke, Lianfeng analyzed the coordinates of that special energy signal and marked them directly on the holographic 3D map of Juxia City on the large screen.

A glaring red dot kept flashing on the screen.

Dukao and the others looked up and found that the coordinates were located in a quiet, upscale, detached villa area on the outskirts of Juxia City.
