Ten minutes later, Syd hovered quietly above the zoo, making sure not to touch the ground.

After a quick scan, his eyes locked onto the area where the king of beasts, the tiger, resided. In the early morning, the zoo was nearly empty. Syd silently floated down to the tiger's resting area, destroying the surveillance cameras in the process.

Just as he landed and took a few steps, a nearby large yellow tiger awoke.

Seeing the intruder, the massive tiger bared its teeth and roared, trying to drive him away.

Syd hesitated for a moment, ready to use his Chaos Magic for defense, and then slowly approached.

The tiger, accustomed to being fed, hesitated and took a few steps back as Syd neared.

However, Syd's persistent approach provoked the tiger, which let out a roar and pounced on him.

With reflexes far beyond normal humans, Syd clearly saw the tiger's movements, even catching a whiff of its scent.

He raised his hands, attempting to grab the tiger's paws.

The tiger struggled and roared continuously.

Syd frowned slightly, feeling like he was holding a wriggling, bouncing fish, finding it somewhat difficult.

Typically, a tiger's bone density is three to five times that of a human, with nearly ten times the impact resistance and several times the strength.

Yet now, Syd could forcibly hold a tiger, although this one seemed a bit weakened from captivity. This indicated that his physical strength was now comparable to the tiger's. Slash!

In his deliberate testing, the tiger's claws grazed his right arm.

Instantly, several scratches appeared on his arm.

Syd looked up.

The scratches weren't deep, only breaking the skin slightly, with a tiny bit of golden blood oozing out.

As the tiger tried to bite him, Syd sealed its mouth with Chaos Magic, leaving it to whimper in fear with wide, terrified eyes.

"It seems my skin's defense isn't strong enough yet," Syd mused.

"I wonder if my skin's toughness can rival a rhinoceros's?"

Syd released the yellow tiger.

Freed, the tiger whimpered and ran to a distance, watching him warily, finding him terrifying.

After the test, Syd felt both disappointed and expectant.

This was just level two. What about level three, four, or five? What would his defenses be like then? "I wonder how many levels it will take for my body to withstand bullets?"

Thinking of Loki and Thor, Syd felt envious.

Neither Loki nor Thor could be harmed by human firearms, their bodies incredibly resilient. Even Loki, after being smashed by Hulk, could act as if nothing had happened after a while, indicating their remarkable physical strength.

And this was just their physical strength, not counting their divine powers.

No wonder they were regarded as gods alongside the Greek and Egyptian pantheons.

Though Thor, before fully awakening his power, seemed more like an alien than a god, somewhat tarnishing the image of divinity.

Of course, Syd felt that his mimicked version of Balder was different.

Balder, the God of Light, was rumored to be the personification of light itself. His death was said to have caused the sun to lose its warmth and brightness! Even the light within people's hearts seemed to fade, leading to moral decay and downfall! In a way, the beginning of Ragnarok was tied to his death.

From these descriptions, it was clear that Balder's power was rather abstract, unlike a typical god.

Or perhaps this was the true power of the Asgardian gods! "I wonder if I will possess these traits later on?"

With this thought, Syd eagerly anticipated further unlocking his abilities.

The divine power, the abstract abilities, all intrigued him. But what level of unlocking would reveal these powers?

(Unlocking progress: 34%)

Glancing at the progress bar, Syd channeled the energy points he had accumulated into it.

In an instant, the unlocking progress changed.

(Unlocking progress: 37%)

Hearing no anticipated notification, Syd felt slightly disappointed.

Had it not been for the constant practice and consumption of the divine physique,

replenishing his energy with sunlight, he would have had more energy points.

"First, I'll get the divine physique to level three, then focus on unlocking the next ability."

Syd pondered.

At that moment, distant footsteps and shouts approached, indicating someone had noticed the commotion and was coming to investigate.

Glancing at the cowering tiger, Syd chuckled, shook his head, and left silently before anyone arrived, leaving the tiger bewildered.

The tiger seemed to ponder the fact that two-legged creatures could fly. Its eyes filled with

more fear as it thought.

They were indeed terrifying; good thing it hadn't attacked them earlier.

With these thoughts, the tiger crouched down and instinctively licked its paw.

Unnoticed, a few tiny threads of golden blood were absorbed into its body, beginning to

change it rapidly.

Two male workers arrived, hearing the tiger's agonized screams.

"What's happening?"

"What's wrong with the tiger?"

The two young workers stared in shock at the tiger rolling and wailing on the ground.

Blood oozed from the tiger's body, quickly rendering it emaciated.

However, despite its gaunt appearance, its aura grew increasingly terrifying, like a beast

ready to devour anyone.

Tiny golden tendrils emerged from its body, absorbing the blood on the ground.

"Ah!"

Witnessing this horrifying scene and the tiger's grotesque transformation, the workers were

terrified and turned to flee.

But before they could run, the tiger leaped like a rocket, reaching them in a few bounds. Before they could react, they saw the golden tendrils from the tiger pierce them.

"Ah..."

"Help..."

In an instant, they were punctured and left riddled with holes.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Gurgling sounds followed as the tendrils drained their blood, leaving them as dried corpses

on the ground.

The tiger's eyes showed fear, but its newfound consciousness harbored no such emotions,

surveying its surroundings.

Influenced by this consciousness, the tiger's eyes filled with a longing expression.

It wanted to find its father, or rather, its master!
