The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 216 - 129: Superpower Breakthrough, Instant Death Ability!
Chapter 216: Chapter 129: Superpower Breakthrough, Instant Death Ability!
[Superpower rank breakthrough completed, now can affect targets from 4th to 5th Rank, skill effects enhanced, gained skill Biological Fusion]
[Notice: 5th Rank promotion permission*1 has been activated; this promotion will not cause the Lord to enter slumber; you have gained additional superpower permissions; you now possess 40% of superpower permissions; 5th Rank promotion permission*1 has been damaged]
[Notice: From this stage on, the skills imparted by superpower will no longer have level attributes and will gain permission level attributes; Lord Talents will remain unchanged]
Bai Yi had long prepared for the superpower upgrade and even the promotion conditions were completed earlier than required for the Lord Rank.
With the complete destruction of the 5th Rank promotion permission, the superpower promotion was declared concluded.
"Even superpowers are losing the level notifications, but what does permission level mean?
My own permissions over my superpower?
But it replaces the original skill levels; does this also signify a strength of ability or some kind of priority?"
Bai Yi, looking at these phrases, quickly connected them to the exclusive professional certificate she had used that provided her with a Talent called "Fan Mao," which shares her name.
There, there was a description that mentioned getting priority when using similar superpowers. Thinking of the connection between priority and permissions, Bai Yi felt there must definitely be some correlation.
However, this guess needs further testing; currently, Bai Yi is more concerned about what changes this 5th Rank promotion involves.
"Does Plant Affinity really now possess a Fusion ability similar to a Forest Elf?
And it’s even more versatile than the Forest Elf’s Extraordinary Ability; any plant larger than the body can be fused at will.
It is also possible to gain all information about plants directly through Plant Affinity, which is a nice addition.
If there was no [Forest Elf], that means my superpower reaching 5th Rank normally would allow me, with cultivated Mutant Plants, to also have sufficient Combat Power and survival abilities."
Like Plant Affinity, Accelerated Growth obtained at First-tier has, as expected, gained a broad-range inducing capability similar to that of a Forest Elf.
The speed of growth has not changed, but based on the area stimulated, one Magic Power Value per square meter is needed, which is still a reasonable consumption.
And as the undoubted core of her abilities, Genetic Fusion and extraction have finally achieved a true qualitative change at 5th Rank.
The extraction of special abilities from superpowers has become more complete, capable of fully replicating the target’s superpower.
Gene extraction is no longer limited to observable biological traits; any gene that can be understood and originates within a biological entity can be extracted and separated.
From something as large as a creature’s skin color to as small as a type of bodily secretion, all can be extracted, provided that Bai Yi has enough understanding of that creature.
It is also possible to see a segment of a gene more intuitively during gene extraction, allowing for a quick understanding of its effects.
"Come to think of it, the understanding of plants granted by Plant Affinity doesn’t seem to be a trivial matter, but can it coordinate with Genetic Fusion?"
Using the plant information read by Plant Affinity happens to complete the understanding needed for gene extraction.
This means, at least regarding plants, this ability can be perfectly executed!
And testing it is also very convenient, just by acting directly toward You, Bai Yi went into a special vision mode, seeing the segments of genes she fused onto You, including those originally possessed.
Upon closer feelings, Bai Yi realized she could now precisely read genes including the growth pattern of fruits, the shape of leaves, and convert them into entries.
With this extraction method, she could even make animals grow rice, achieving real biological hybridization!
And Genetic Fusion appears more esoteric, umm, or perhaps more magical.
The range of fusion judgment increased, the judgment on what constitutes a biological entity has been much relaxed, even creatures like Zombies and Skeletons can be included, and like Accelerated Growth, the fusion range can be expanded by additional consumption.
However, this enhancement is somewhat trivial for the current Bai Yi.
After all, she now has a better spore contagion, no longer needing to manually fuse each creature with the ability; just cultivate one, and it can be infinitely spread.
Compared to the increased fusion range, the relaxed fusion judgment is more practical for her
It also signifies that within the territory, the Undead Clan, always treated as the lowest level of labor, can finally be upgraded and integrated into this big family of the territory.
And the remaining new abilities that were obtained during multiple promotions have also achieved different degrees of qualitative change in this promotion.
Among them, Mutation and Equilibrium have re-fused into an ability called Genetic Adjustment, which can directly enhance, mutate, or weaken a specific gene segment.
But similarly, Bai Yi needs sufficient understanding of the modified gene for Genetic Adjustment to become more precise.
The ability of biological drafting followed Genetic Fusion, similarly relaxing conditions on drafting objects, effective even on Undead or bacteria.
And it now supports an unlimited number of creature templates saved, and supports reading all genes of a creature at any time, saving them down, and being able to use Magic Power or consume Blood Flesh to formulate them whenever needed.
If it weren’t for the Lord Game, or if she were an ordinary Lord, this ability would probably become her real constant source of Combat Power, or a powerful skill that could instantly produce soldiers on demand.
However, in the current situation, the role of this ability has been significantly reduced, as virtually every type of soldier under her command already possesses a comparable ability to rapidly produce soldiers, making her unnecessary as a mobile barracks.
After reviewing all the abilities, at the very bottom of the panel, finally appeared the new ability obtained through this promotion.
[Soul Cutting: Cost ??? (Target Level * 100) Magic Power Value to cut the soul. After cutting, the upper limit of Spirit Attribute permanently decreases by 10%, until the soul returns; If only 10% of Spirit Attribute limit remains at the time of cutting, instant death occurs]
[Note: If the soul fragment is not stored in an independent body in time, it will dissipate on its own and the upper limit of Spirit Attribute will be permanently lost]
[Soul Fusion: Cost ??? (Soul Level * 10) Magic Power Value to merge the soul into a body. If the target body is the soul’s original body, this fusion will not consume any Magic Power Value]
[Note: If the soul fragment’s fusion target already has a soul, the weaker soul will be devoured depending on the difference in quality between the two]
"This, this...
Is this an ability that causes instant death?!
And this Soul Fusion, isn’t this essentially Possession?!
After reaching the 5th tier, superpowers actually begin to touch upon the soul?!"
It must be said, this ability indeed left Bai Yi both shocked and pleased.
Not to mention that if operated properly, one could completely replace a person at the soul level without needing to transform into a witch or parasite, and no physical examination could detect any issue.
And as a prerequisite, [Soul Cutting]is an ability that can kill instantaneously!
Though currently restricted to only 5th tier usage and with very stringent conditions, requiring ten uses on the same target to trigger the final instant death judgment.
But this is already a good start!
Now that the permissions of superpowers are gradually being obtained, as long as all are mastered, there might be a chance to attempt cross-tier use!
After all, this instant death ability is just a potential consequence during the process of using the ability.
The real purpose is still to split the soul and even create actual Avatars! ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
But when it comes to usage, Bai Yi couldn’t help but think:
"So can I now have up to ten Opportunities?"
Far away in Eternal Life City, Shang Ji, who was busy arranging various matters due to the promotion of her territory, suddenly shivered.
She was all too familiar with this sensation—it was a warning that she had once again caught her master’s attention!
But after waiting on the spot for a long time without detecting any new orders from Bai Yi, she found it a bit strange, wondering if she was being too sensitive.
Of course, Bai Yi wouldn’t just foolishly take action against Shang Ji.
With matters concerning the soul, if anything went wrong, she only had this one Opportunity!
These two abilities targeting the soul, of course, needed to be tested on some captives first!
After sending her requirements to Bai Sheng through the Swarm Network, Bai Yi then looked at the requirements for promotion to 6th tier superpowers.
[Promotion Requirements: Create at least 5 Wisdom Species and have them dominate the ecosystem within a specific area (2/5), personally create 3 types of large buildings or Elite Combat Units (1/3)]
"It’s all an upgraded version of previous promotion conditions...
From requiring ownership of large buildings to needing to create them oneself, and the requirements have broadened, even including Combat Units.
And what exactly qualifies as an Elite Combat Unit? Hero Level?
Originally needing ten kinds of 4th tier Gold Level units, it’s now drastically increased to requiring 5 Wisdom Species, and also dominate the ecosystem within a specific area..."
Dominating the ecosystem wasn’t difficult for Bai Yi; after all, none of her creatures would be bullied elsewhere.
The challenging part was the required number; she definitely needed five Wisdom Species.
So far, she had achieved two, including the witches ruling a planet within the [Witch Star] instance, and the Insect Swarm taking care of the Fungus Blanket in Area 34.
Even including the offspring of the Sea Son, it would only make three, and she still needed to research at least two more Wisdom Species to meet the requirements.
The other promotion condition gave Bai Yi some ideas; besides You, she needed to cultivate two more large buildings or Elite Units.
Even at tier 4, she had nurtured units with tier 5 Combat Power; hence producing a high-combat power unit was not difficult.
"These new abilities all need to be researched, but more importantly, now that my superpower has reached tier 5, I can finally read the genes of the tier 5 heroes in my territory!"
She had long coveted the Space Superpower of the orange cat!
Quietly, she arrived in front of the small cabin where the orange cat was located, gently pushed open the wooden door, and Bai Yi extended her guilty hand towards the orange cat still absorbing Magic Power trying to breakthrough to lv.60.
......
Opportunity Council: Legendary to be the highest judicial body of the Witch Clan, where each of the ten members oversees various internal affairs of the Witch Clan, directly under that wicked Primordial Witch. Legend has it that the ten members of the council were created by the soul-playing Primordial Witch amidst wails, to extract more value...
[Note: Kill! They dare to slander the great Primordial Witch like this! How could such adorable Bai Yi be evil! Hehehe, Your Highness Bai Yi...]
[Note’s Note: You should kill too! It’s typical of witches, just kill more]
