Could he be doing the experiments to try and solve his body problems?

I don't think so... Xiu became the new War God immediatly after... If there was another War God between the two, maybe it would have been possible, but a child, that's at most one year, could never have such a position which is aquired with strenght. The time doesn't add. And the Gods, given the way one becomes a War God(by battling it out) , they wouldn't leave the spot vacant for more than ... two weeks at most? Also, I don't think the other Gods would accept a half-bred as the second- most powerful one among them...

Xiu also said he's not the one when he said this to SYX previously. But now the author made it as if this is the first time she heard this story. So I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow becomes the half devil half God either.

@CristinaC You're right. Xiu has told SYX he's not that child and it's not the first time he tell her about the fall of the previous War God and a bit about a child born to a pair of devil and god. I expected we would hear more about that pair and their child because, well, based on all the available hints, OH most likely was that child and he was our main antagonist (so, we might hear some of his backstory). But, I dismiss the probability that the god in this couple was the previous War God. Why? Because it's mentioned before that Xiu got the War God's godhood after he fought him and win. Then, his win proved he's the strongest superior god and the godhood of War God naturally went to him. It's also mentioned that the relationship between god and devil was really bad. It's not simply because their power are in contrary effect and it could cause explosion (not like how it's said in this chapter). But, it's because they naturally have opposing constitution and behavior/habit. It's so bad that SYX thought this pair of devil and god were oddballs (strange flowers) among their races and she lamented how love could make people do something out of norm. In addition, it's also mentioned that a discrimination toward mixed race also happened in God Race. Such bad relationship between devil and god. Such extreme discrimination toward a child of mixed race. And such a functional War God who could serve his duty until Xiu came and replaced him. I expected the couple would fall into tragic end, either they died, went insane, or went on the "antagonist" route. The best route (the HE) they could take was living simply in seclusion. So, I don't expect the god would still actively serve as a War God even after he went through all of that. Read more
