"According to our reporter, a foreign hideout was destroyed last night. Criminals were causing chaos in the room, playing 'YMCA' loudly and using numerous indescribable blood-stained tools, seemingly from an excessive addiction, and are currently undergoing blood tests."

"The criminals appeared collectively mentally disturbed, desperately protecting their lower bodies and shouting things like 'Stop insulting me!' However, there was no evidence of any outsider intrusion found at the scene."

Xue Dili changed the channel.

"According to our reporter, a large number of professors and media personnel fled abroad illegally yesterday for reasons unknown. During a surprise inspection, a large amount of unknown illegal income was found in their accounts. Most are currently in hiding in Mexico and Colombia, and a wanted order has been issued..."

Watching the sensational news reports on TV, Xue Dili tilted his head in confusion, "Is Uncle Brave's efficiency really that high? He managed to insult and expel those people all in one night?"

He found it hard to believe. Although Uncle Brave was very strong, could his efficiency really be that high? In one night, it seemed like he could even finish the Holy Grail War.

Is someone helping him?

Xue Dili rubbed his head, things were becoming increasingly baffling to him, but whatever, as long as the problem was solved.

As for Hercules... let him play outside for a while, just don't cause any trouble. After all, his main body is still attached to the Birdman Armor, and Xue Dili can summon him back at any time.

...

At this time, Hercules was nestled in a basement, with an empty box of beer cans by his side, along with some unfinished Burger King and fries.

Although he was in a spiritual state now, oddly, he could still taste the food and drink himself on the Nether River.

So currently, he was completely like a useless otaku uncle, continuously grinding materials in some turn-based mobile game on his phone.

This mission, whether it was the investigation or the action, was too smooth, as if someone was secretly helping him.

But it doesn't matter, there's plenty of time now, and even Xediles had to attend school, so he could at least grind games for several more days.

First, recharge ten orders of 518 yuan each to buy stamina...

Hercules remained silent, only focusing on spending money in the game.

Hmm, in just one short day, he even learned how to top up his account, of course, using Xue Dili's card.

Watching a substantial amount of resources instantly appear on the account, the soul within the Birdman Armor twitched slightly.

Once again, after chugging a whole can of beer, the beer liquid vanished inside the armor, he crushed the can and casually threw it on the ground.

How can a hero desert the battlefield?

Card pool, let me see your limit.

...

Xue Dili, completely unconcerned about his bank card transactions, went down to the basement.

He was very wealthy; although vastly different from a true billionaire, his parents' inheritance allowed him to live comfortably.

Therefore, his online shopping was set to password-free payments, with notifications for transactions under a thousand yuan disabled.

He switched on the light, revealing an entire wall covered in intelligence boards.

This was where he specifically collected and organized intel, now filled with various information about the Giant Beast Planet and the beast within him.

Last night's dream ended at a scene where the beast completely lost its humanity.

He was now entirely certain that the giant beast inside him was Lieutenant Robert.

A former human turned monster.

Xue Dili also roughly guessed the principle of the serum that transformed the lieutenant into a monster: by using biological magic and purified cell inducers, it should roughly turn all cells into totipotent cells and gradually morph them into ones closer to the structure of a giant beast.

Given enough energy support, within a few years, it could grow into a terrifying giant beast weighing tens of thousands of tons.

The cost, however, was the gradual loss of humanity as its size increased.

Like this lieutenant, whose last traces of humanity were not eating people and remembering his wife and children, but when he saw his wife die before him, his remaining humanity finally disappeared.

What remained was endless destructive desire and beastly nature.

Even without seeing further into the memories, Xue Dili could already imagine the relentless battle between the behemoth and the human army, a conflict that undoubtedly led to mutual devastation.

The Zero Behemoth had the ability to regenerate quickly by feeding, and as long as it abandoned its humanity and tried eating humans, the battlefield would be filled with snacks for it.

It also possessed sulfur breath and a mini-nuclear fusion special ability. Although its physical body might not withstand endless bombardment, it would definitely cause catastrophic damage to a city.

Meanwhile, the human side aimed to capture rather than kill the beast, inherently bound by many constraints, only considering lethal options when the losses became catastrophic.

Yet, Xue Dili hadn't clearly understood why the lieutenant's wife, originally there to recall his humanity, appeared around the ammo depot.

Even more bizarrely, at that moment, the ammo depot coincidentally exploded for unknown reasons, although the Zero Behemoth had begun attacking, its attack direction was still somewhat distant from the ammo depot.

This was indeed the match that ignited the war from this encounter.

The eventual outcome certainly was the Zero Behemoth's death, colossal human loss, and possibly widespread destruction or even obliteration of the original city-state.

This is a war with no winners. The lieutenant lost everything, and the human side neither obtained the lieutenant's samples nor avoided heavy losses.

Both sides struggled for the future of humanity, but the final result was mutually destructive.

He carefully annotated each piece of intelligence and pinned them to the intelligence board, marking the related places. Indeed, he discovered many doubtful points.

How is this power, completely beyond human control, being utilized? And why start experimenting within human ranks?

Transforming humans into giant beasts, from cells to genes.

The Magic Side could achieve this, but it would not be that simple.

Like the racial contamination of the Shabu Insect Race, turning other creatures into evil insects, at least a Quasi-5th Tier ability.

Yet on that planet, the strongest human on the Spiritual Energy Side was only Tier Three.

Comparable to the old Undead and the Witch Demon King.

Moreover, the lieutenant's wife's death was suspiciously peculiar.

Xue Dili always felt that if something seemed illogical to him, there must be information and intelligence he hadn't discovered.

This experiment felt like humanity's upper echelon was akin to a baby with an AK, unaware of the AK's power, only desiring to fully control it.

The result was a baby with a gun shooting dead all his family members and himself.

Looking at everything on the intelligence board, Xue Dili closed his eyes, almost imagining a marathon runner vomiting blood while running.

Humans sought to conquer giant beasts by researching artificial giant beasts, only to suffer consequences.

Within the giant beasts, could there also be those studying ways to counter humans?

Xue Dili did not know.

If humanity tried to grasp uncontrollable power, it would inevitably lead to self-destruction, like the former Hero Squad on the Holy Magic Continent experimenting on Uncle Brave's corpse.

In Xue Dili's view, giant beasts should arise in specific environments, "Demon Beasts" that apply energy to the flesh and cells.

Similar to the giant dragons on the Holy Magic Continent, the highest-level demon beasts infusing energy and magic into cells.

The potential of giant beasts was evidently far higher than that of ordinary giant dragons, almost able to touch the metaphorical taillight of Shabu Insect Race, a cosmic catastrophe.

It's true that giant beasts are naturally magic and energy-controlling demon beasts, with special body structures capable of controlled nuclear fusion within, causing their size to soar dramatically.

As the war between giant beasts and humans reached such an unrelenting stage, Xue Dili could only think that one side had to be entirely exterminated to end the conflict.

The biggest questionable point: the Giant Beast Serum!

The most unscientific and non-magical thing; it seemed impossible for a Tier Three mage to concoct such a serum.

Marking all the intelligence and connecting them, he reached a highly terrifying assumption...

Could the Giant Beast Serum be technology provided by another civilization?

Once this thought occupied his mind, it became uncontrollable.

Although the existing intelligence could not prove this hypothesis, inferring from what was available...

Theoretically, a Tier Three mage could dabble with teleportation gate technology.

If possessing a teleportation gate, there's an opportunity to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations. So, was it possible they had pointed out teleportation gate technology long ago but kept it secret from the public?

Secretly acquiring advanced civilization technology, thus beginning this forbidden experiment...

If the assumption is correct, what was the extraterrestrial civilization's intention in providing this technology?

Sweat trickled from his forehead; if his logic was right, the more terrifying guess was...

The extraterrestrial civilization they encountered might harbor an even more dreadful purpose, intending for their civilization to self-destruct.

Forbidden knowledge, external giant beast threats, humanity is like prisoners walking on a tightrope, needing to dispel the giant beast threat while trying to control power they cannot yet master...

This way, without even taking action, humanity will fall in the bloody marathon, either turning into giant beasts causing internal conflict or being annihilated by giant beasts!

This is a game leading to civilization's self-annihilation.

The opposing side didn't even intervene; merely providing uncontrollable technology plunges a civilization into a madness-fueled self-destruction.

Like in ancient times, handing a box of gold to a peasant in public, which wouldn't enrich the peasant but becomes the precursor of a family massacre.

Although this example is not very suitable, it highly matches the civilization's situation.

This is an obvious plot!

Even if humanity's upper echelon realizes they cannot control this power, there will still be arrogant fools striving nonetheless, unable to be stopped...

This is a complete overt plot! Not humanity's self-rescue!
