Godlike: Starting with the fusion of Dark Zagi

……

After nearly an hour of basic science explanation, Si Ye had a clear understanding of the underlying technology tree of this universe.

"In other words, your so-called dark dimension technology has only two main applications: first, as an absolutely hidden space to 'store things'; second, as a cosmic-level database to 'read dark information'."

Siye interlaced his fingers and summarized: "To put it bluntly, it's just that our two civilizations have chosen different paths of development when faced with the truth of the universe."

In this universe, ever since the ancient Divine River civilization first began its in-depth development of the dark plane, the entire known universe's subsequent god-making projects and super-soldier systems have been basically fixed, all following this predetermined path and developing step by step.

"A super soldier is, in itself, a super war machine tailor-made for him."

Following this line of reasoning, Si Ye continued, "First, through 'super gene technology,' the soldiers' bodies are biologically enhanced, giving them superhuman physical functions and resilience. At the same time, by connecting to the 'dark dimension,' a massive war support system is added to them, such as implanting dark matter computers to provide computing power, and equipping them with various large-scale energy recovery devices to ensure their endurance."

"The birth and iteration of the 'Gene Engine' directly integrates and replaces some of the functions of the Dark Dimension."

"Operations involving surface physics and energy interference, such as spewing fire out of thin air, flying and escaping underground, or even controlling lightning, can now be achieved independently through the gene engine within the body, without constantly relying on the computing power support of the dark dimension."

"That's right, that's basically the idea." Angel Yan nodded.

Si Ye took a sip of water. "So, to put it bluntly, for you super soldiers now, the Dark Dimension is just a portable extradimensional 'storage space'."

"The anti-theft features of this portable storage space are indeed unbeatable. Unless the owner authorizes it, it is almost impossible for external forces to forcibly open it. However, it also has a very obvious physical flaw—that is, the 'opening'."

"Because the opening to the dark dimension is the super soldier himself. If this vessel, which serves as the 'door,' is subjected to a powerful energy impact that exceeds its limits, then the dark dimension space behind the door will also be at risk of being violently shaken and broken, or even completely collapsed."

Angel Yan nodded slightly. "You're right. This is indeed a fundamental flaw in the Dark Dimension technology. After all, the Divine River Civilization first discovered the existence of the Dark Dimension because of a super explosion. However, the energy required to break through the Dark Dimension is at least at the level of a supernova explosion, or a high-yield anti-dark matter bomb, which is the power of god-killing."

"In a conventional war, it would be difficult to see an energy bombardment of this magnitude."

"Moreover, with the continuous iteration and upgrading of technology, this vulnerability is being gradually eliminated."

"The gods who truly stand at the pinnacle of the known universe today, such as our great Angel King, the Holy Keisha who possesses a 'divine body'."

"Her body has been calculated down to the atomic level. Each of her atoms is interconnected and is itself a miniature super war machine. Beings of this level can completely operate without the computational assistance of the dark dimension, engaging in all-weather, all-round high-dimensional combat."

"For Queen Keisha, the Dark Dimension is no longer essential for maintaining her divine body. Its current function is merely as a super warehouse for storing large celestial computers such as the arsenal of god-killing weapons and the sacred knowledge treasury."

Si Ye nodded slightly. "Then what about the 'god-slaying power,' or rather, the god-slaying weapon, that you mentioned earlier?"

Angel Yan shifted to a more comfortable sitting position and continued to act as the science popularization mentor for this alien relic.

"To understand the God-Slaying Weapon, you must first understand the unsolvable nature of super soldiers in conventional warfare. The core of super soldiers is their super genes, which endow them with extremely abnormal 'super resistance.' Ordinary kinetic weapons and conventional high-explosive fragmentation simply cannot break through this resistance, and therefore cannot harm super soldiers."

"To eliminate these super soldiers, conventional methods won't work; we must use heavy firepower with high yields, or even devastating strikes of nuclear or higher levels."

"But this presents a tactical paradox in actual interstellar warfare."

Yan shrugged. "Super soldiers possess extremely high individual mobility. They can use micro-wormholes for transport or extremely high flight speeds to directly penetrate their own defensive positions and even engage in close-quarters combat. In such a complex situation, you can't just drop a nuclear bomb into your own ranks, can you? Those weapons of mass destruction are simply not easy to use."

Following her logic, Si Ye continued, "Therefore, in order to deal with these highly mobile and resistant super soldiers, you need to develop a lighter, more portable individual weapon that can accurately and quickly break through super genetic defenses."

"That's right, that's the original intention behind the creation of the 'God-Slaying Weapon'." Yan snapped his fingers.

"The mechanism of the God-Slaying Weapon has been studied down to the microscopic level of 'anti-dark matter.' At the moment it hits its target, it generates a massive 'anti-dark singularity effect.'"

"This singularity effect is far more dangerous than nuclear fusion. Its horror lies not only in the instantaneous destruction of matter, but more so in its ability to produce an 'infinite consumption' of energy, accompanied by the release of extremely deadly 'delta radiation'."

"The combination of these two characteristics completely exceeds the limits of what a supergene can resist and repair."

"Once a vital organ is struck by the God-Slaying Weapon, even a super soldier's super genes will be rapidly decomposed and destroyed under the interference of Delta radiation, thus losing those super resistances."

"Once a super soldier's super gene is destroyed, he will be no different from an ordinary mortal when faced with a fatal penetrating wound; he will bleed and die."

"Of course, the complexity of the super gene code and the physical strength of super soldiers of different levels are different, and their resistance to the God-Slaying Weapon is also different. The first generation is easily killed instantly, the second generation can withstand a few more hits, and the third generation divine body can forcibly suppress the injury through its huge energy reserves even if it is hit."

"In addition to the God-Slaying Weapon, which is specifically designed to destroy at the genetic level, there is also a special weapon called 'Dark Silver'."

"The Dark Silver weapon is at the complete other extreme—it possesses absolute destructive power and extreme sharpness on a physical level. There are no complicated dark energy calculations; it is simply sharp. Even a peak beast body like Soton, known for its defense, or a third-generation divine body, would be absolutely unable to defend against the Dark Silver weapon and would be sliced ​​open like tofu."

Si Ye raised an eyebrow slightly: "It sounds like this thing called Dark Silver is more direct in terms of pure lethality?"

"That's not necessarily true." Yan shook his head. "The biggest drawback of the Dark Silver weapon is that it cannot directly kill a god. Because it lacks delta radiation, it cannot destroy the super gene chain from the bottom up, nor does it have the ability to infinitely absorb energy. It can only dismember the god's body, rendering the god unable to move physically."

"But as long as there is enough energy, the severed divine body can still slowly heal and be pieced back together over time. Therefore, to truly and completely destroy a god, one ultimately needs to rely on those god-slaying weapons that can truly destroy super genes."
