The experiment was a success, but beneath that successful facade churned far deeper and more dangerous possibilities.
Art was indeed an excellent Fusion base material. He was compatible, stable, and capable of retaining the host's core traits.
However, repeated tests and comparisons had coldly pointed the data toward one conclusion.
After Fusing with various lifeforms, the one that could unleash the strongest combat effectiveness and killing efficiency was still the Alien.
This was hardly surprising.
Aliens were perfect creations born for slaughter in the universe. Every inch of their bones, every drop of their acidic blood, every lightning-fast pounce had been selected through cruel genetics for the sole purpose of taking life as efficiently as possible.
Using them as the framework for a "weapon," then Fusing other traits into them, was like adding wings to a tiger.

Killing supernatural entities might now be as "natural" to the Alien as tearing apart an ordinary human—or perhaps even more efficient...
Li Dan could not help recalling what he had witnessed in Busan not long ago.
The Zombies that had surged through the streets like a tide had been as fragile as paper toys before the Aliens.

Therefore, Li Dan had already made
