"Big brother, you're my big brother from now on."
Suo Dun dropped to both knees and kowtowed to Lin Ye.
Lin Ye nodded. "Fine. If you want to be my little brother, there are a few rules."
"First, no eating people whenever you feel like it. At the very least, wait for my orders. Second, don't go around causing trouble for me. Stay put, and I won't let you go hungry. Third..."
"Lin Ye."
Angel Yan slowly descended beside Lin Ye, her wings beating gently.
Seeing Lin Ye laying down rules for Suo Dun, she could not help smiling slightly.
This guy really was worrying.
The fight against that red crocodile had taken so many twists and turns that her heart had nearly leaped out of her chest.
Especially that final black lightning, the method of turning both the air and scales into lightning bodies.
It was an eye-opening move.
Yan had to admit that Lin Ye seemed exceptionally gifted in battle.
Moreover, Lin Ye had not possessed the Thunder Gene before. It seemed he had transplanted it from her.
One truly troubling thought was this: could Lin Ye really have a Fifth Generation Divine Body?
"The crisis is over, Yan. Should we take this guy back to Angel International?"
Lin Ye stretched his body and looked toward Yan.
"Yes. Locking it up at Angel International would be a good choice."
Yan nodded and produced a pair of handcuffs out of thin air, intending to restrain Suo Dun.
Clang!
The handcuffs were sent flying.
Suo Dun angrily pulled back his hand and cursed, "My big brother hasn't even told me to wear shackles! You think you can make me wear them?"
"Right, big brother?" Suo Dun looked at Lin Ye with a fawning expression.
"Put them on," Lin Ye said calmly.
"Got it, big brother."
Suo Dun nodded seriously, crouched down, and put the handcuffs on himself.
"Let's go."
Then Lin Ye grabbed Suo Dun by the neck with one hand. With a beat of his wings, he shot into the sky.
Yan spread her white wings and followed behind Lin Ye.
The two humans and one beast swiftly vanished into the clouds.
Only a pool of still-wet blood remained at the scene.
Onlookers recorded the scene on their phones and uploaded the footage to the internet.
Meanwhile.
Across the world, images of Lin Ye began appearing online, while the comments and popularity surrounding the videos continued to soar.
The existence of human angels and monsters dealt a tremendous shock to people around the world.
Huaguo, at a roadside food stall outside a university.
"Xiaolun, have you seen the news online? This guy is fucking awesome!"
"That monster was huge, but he killed it by himself in seconds! Lightning everywhere!"
Ge Xiaolun was eating at a barbecue stall when he saw his friend Zhao Xin beside him looking down at his phone.
Those big hands kept swiping across the screen.
"What is it, Xin? I've been busy writing my thesis lately. I haven't had time to look at my phone."
Ge Xiaolun explained while gnawing on a skewer.
"Then you're in for a treat. Look at this guy." Zhao Xin handed his phone to Ge Xiaolun.
On the screen was a video with over a hundred thousand comments and shares.
It showed a black-winged man descending from the sky with an angel, then using lightning to forcibly defeat a man-eating crocodile wielding a Spinning Axe.
Judging from how heavily the ground had been censored, one could imagine how brutal that crocodile had been.
Yet such a terrifying crocodile had not even been able to break through the black-winged youth's defenses.
What was more, the black-winged youth had toyed with it using lightning, especially in the final scene.
Its breath became lightning, and its scales became lightning.
Even when the crocodile spoke, its mouth was filled with black lightning.
"What the hell is this thing?!"
The more Ge Xiaolun watched, the more confused he became. By the end, he was nearly dumbfounded.
He stood frozen on the spot, his eyes wide.
What was this?!
Had a sci-fi movie entered reality?
Or had the age of myths descended, with angels coming to the mortal world and demons returning to the earth?
In short!
This world was no longer the world he knew!
"Is this guy even human? Why do I feel like he looks a little like one of us from Huaguo? And..."
Ge Xiaolun stared at Lin Ye in the video with astonishment in his eyes. "He actually looks pretty handsome."
"He is pretty handsome." Zhao Xin snatched back the phone, his eyes fixed lustfully on the beautiful Angel Yan. "Hehehe, this chick is pretty hot. Xiaolun, don't you think she's beautiful?"
"What a waste. Such a stunning goddess is actually this guy's female lackey. How is that any different from those tycoons?"
"Tsk, tsk. I don't envy lovebirds, and I don't envy immortals. I envy tycoons every single day!"
Elsewhere, in an underground base, Deno Three—the global surveillance and counter-surveillance military satellite of the Deno Galaxy—detected an anomaly on the internet.
Whooo!
Dazzling red lights flashed through the underground base as alarms blared.
"Warning. Deno Three has detected an individual with supernatural powers appearing on the internet. Should containment measures be implemented?"
The artificial intelligence's prompt echoed through the empty corridors.
Creak.
Doors throughout the corridor opened, and researchers dressed in military uniforms emerged one after another.
At their head was a female officer wearing a white cap.
Her graceful curves swayed as she walked, while her sharp, hawk-like gaze made her appear valiant and commanding.
"Chief Lian Feng!"
"Hello, Chief Lian Feng!"
"Lian Feng..."
Everyone called out Lian Feng's name.
Lian Feng nodded slightly, signaling that everything was fine.
She had also seen the news online and had not moved to contain it immediately.
Because the Taotie army was bound to arrive.
It would be better to use this opportunity to announce to the world that the true world war had arrived.
The revival of supernatural powers, the appearance of angels, the appearance of monsters.
The emergence of Super Soldiers among humanity—people needed time to accept all of this.
However, this internet incident was perfectly suited to serve as a shot in the arm.
It would lay the groundwork for the possible alien invasion to come.
Lost in thought, Lian Feng arrived before a large door in the underground base.
Creak.
Lian Feng pushed open the heavy steel door and entered General Dukao's office.
"Reporting!"
"Come in!"
"Yes."
Lian Feng entered the room and saw Dukao bent over his desk, seemingly organizing a list.
"Lian Feng, I've been busy with matters concerning the Super God Academy lately. Don't disturb me unless it's something important."
Dukao said without looking up. His fountain pen scratched across the paper, leaving rows of black ink.
"We've made another major discovery, General Dukao."
Lian Feng handed the tablet in her hand to Dukao and explained, "Lin Ye appeared in Seoul, and he was accompanied by Holy Kaisha's Left Wing Guard, Angel Yan."
"Is that so? Why did he go to H Country?"
Hearing that Lin Ye had appeared, Dukao set down his fountain pen, raised his head, and asked with a frown.
"To deal with this first-generation Beast Body, a Beast Body Warrior that had been sealed on Earth for a thousand years—Crocodile Suo Dun."
"What?"
Dukao was startled. He stroked his chin with one hand. "A first-generation Beast Body Warrior... it isn't much weaker than an ordinary angel guard."
"Did Lin Ye win? Did he fight Suo Dun together with Angel Yan?"
"Not only did he win, he fought Suo Dun one-on-one. He even possesses the Thunder Gene." Lian Feng explained, a gleam appearing in her eyes.
She had watched the battle footage as well.
As a battle fanatic, she believed Lin Ye was a true genius made for combat!
Powerful strength, a calm mind, and unmatched scientific technology!
She could not help suspecting that Lin Ye might very well be humanity's hope for the future.
