The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 238 - 150 Power of Faith

Having only 9 medals is definitely not enough.

From the effects of these abnormal objects in hand, there are only a few that are excellent and necessitate upgrading, but the most needed balance scale requires 10 medals.

Then the best solution, of course, is to use the points from the area annexation mission to exchange for a few in the points mall of the mission.

Although that points mall is not limited in quantity, after all, it is just the points after area annexation, the number of exchanges is not many, only 4 mediators.

Excluding the 10 for the balance scale, there are 3 more abnormal objects that can be upgraded, and for Bai Yi, the spots are already very ample.

And these three spots are allocated respectively to herself, You, and that scepter which can control storms and lightning brought out from the instance.

For herself and You, there’s no need to elaborate, Bai Yi would naturally not miss the opportunity to enhance her own superpower and strength.

You is even more so the source of her combat power!

However, the promotion of her and You is not urgent. With the reminder of that witch relic, Bai Yi plans to utilize those orcs to update the attribute enhancement gene entry before proceeding.

As for the Storm Scepter, there’s no such concern. As the face card of Attack Power in the territory, even in its 5th tier, it can still exert an attack force capable of harming a 6th-tier being when wielded by a Thunder Power User in the territory.

But now that the average strength has reached the 5th tier, this scepter is slightly falling behind the times.

Given the current situation in the territory, if talking about Comprehensive Combat Power, it is definitely not inferior to an ordinary 6th-tier, but it lacks decisive powerful strength, so this upgrade opportunity is given priority to the scepter.

The upgrade process lasted less than ten seconds, and the scepter’s description has already changed.

[Catastrophe Wand (6th-tier / Red): Can consume magic power to control the weather within ten thousand meters, raising gigantic tornadoes; the power of lightning is greatly enhanced; with charging, it can threaten 7th-tier, granting the user enhanced ability to become like lightning]

After the promotion, the scepter still prioritizes pure destructive force, high attack and low defense, but both its area and single-target damage have been greatly improved.

However, because of this upgrade, its originally not too strong negative effect has also been enhanced, changing from having to accumulate paralysis value to continuous lightning damage, and it will cause an even higher lightning damage at intervals.

But these can all be circumvented by finding a solution and relying on the gene entries to withstand.

Moreover, this scepter is intended for use by a Thunder Power User, who inherently has high Thunder Resistance.

Putting it aside, Bai Yi picked up the balance scale and chose to upgrade it again.

She didn’t expect the enhancement of it to be transformative; as long as its original ability to establish rules could be strengthened and the number of establishments could be increased, that would be sufficient.

This enhancement did indeed fulfill Bai Yi’s wish.

Originally capable of establishing rules only three times, now it has expanded to seven times; the effect range can be freely controlled to cover up to five thousand meters; and the binding power of contracts established has become stronger.

And this time, an additional Extraordinary Ability was added, allowing for forceful suppression, adding a heavy physical sense of oppression to the target.

This is actually reflected on the Grand Judge, named "Judgment."

Only, the ability given by the balance scale is more powerful and does not need to be set as a temporary rule like the Grand Judge’s ability.

And perhaps it’s a peculiarity of the abnormal objects being promoted to 7th-tier, after this promotion, the balance scale’s appearance also changed, recovering from its somewhat worn look to normal.

The scale’s beam is still stuck, but finally, it has fully balanced itself out.

Having completed the promotions of two abnormal objects, Bai Yi swiped her gloved right hand, and all the abnormal objects entered the network, returning to their original places.

After dealing with all the rewards from this conquest, Bai Yi finally had time to look at the witches returning from the instance.

Earlier, due to the cycle challenge, she hadn’t had time to personally witness their return.

But of course, she wouldn’t just naively rush over to watch the excitement.

Leaving the territory with her main body was just too insecure!

Soul slices are much more reliable!

"It seems that I need to quickly cast out all my avatars soon, so I can go outside the territory in person..."

As she spoke, the soul slice had already arrived at Sea Suppressing City in the 27th area through the Swarm Network, seeing the ship islands moored around Sea Suppressing City and the large group of Floating Islands that nearly obscured the sky.

Even though they had ascended to high altitude, the shadows cast down made the entire Sea Suppressing City seem like it had entered into night, resembling mountains hanging upside down, full of oppressive sensation.

"Is that the Holy Mountain..."

Bai Yi almost immediately locked onto the largest Floating Island in the sky, her consciousness instantaneously jumped to the Witch Consciousness on the Floating Island, observing the bustling witches within the church.

After returning, the various facilities on these Floating Islands began to operate again, which includes the church responsible for connecting with several dungeon worlds.

As if sensing Bai Yi’s arrival, the efficiency of the witches working with runes seemed to have increased significantly, and Bai Yi quickly witnessed the operation of these churches.

According to Bai Fa’s research, these churches actually utilize a special kind of energy.

They are similar to the "Spiritual Power" of the Extraordinary System, a special energy with a higher priority than Magic Power, an area where even Spiritual Power falls short.

This energy originates from the belief in the Creator that was cultivated by the group created by Bai Yi, which Bai Fa calls the Power of Faith.

The breakthrough in this research was still obtained from those Beast Body People in the dungeon, whose rituals are a similar ability, granted by the convergence of a "God" through the Power of Faith, ultimately bestowed in the form of Divine Arts.

However, this faith is often mingled with internal complexity of creatures, usually bringing a certain impact on the user, making it very difficult to purify.

Bai Fa has already managed to intercept a part of these Beast Body People’s faith by utilizing some runes learned from the Church, yielding this conclusion.

But for the witches, this problem was solved by the core Swarm Network among all the groups created by Bai Yi.

Due to the unity of Swarm Consciousness, whether it’s witches, the Insect Swarm, or their offspring, the faith in Bai Yi loses much of its impurity under the integration of the Swarm Network.

The Church only needs to intercept it directly and guide this priority, or rather, a high-quality energy, to achieve communication across worlds (planets).

This is also why Bai Fa knew that ordinary faith would lead to impure energy.

—Because as Bai Yi’s exclusive structure, the Array on the Church was never designed to process impurities.

Naturally, the runes learned from the Church did not contain relevant knowledge, which nearly blew up the laboratory during Bai Fa’s first experiment.

Under the supply of this special energy, the runes hidden in the Church’s ground, pillars, and even between the stained-glass window decorations were lit up, emitting regular special fluctuations.

As the main subject of this Power of Faith, Bai Yi felt it especially clearly.

Immediately followed by the second, third...

The frequency of their energy fluctuations also became increasingly aligned until they resonated with the Church on the surrounding ship island and Floating Island, creating a special convergence effect.

But this time, instead of releasing a huge energy fluctuation as Bai Yi had imagined, it was very calm, merely buzzing through her heart and then returning to silence.

Bai Yi nearly instantly understood that this was, after all, a communication device, not a shouting device, and of course, was not supposed to be known to everyone.

That fluctuation was just for establishing resonance; the actual communication would not use such obvious energy waves.

"This is [Holy Mountain], please respond if you hear us."

"This is [Mechanical Pole], connection established, no obvious noise."

The communication was established very stably, after all, this was a communication hub jointly created by no fewer than 6 Churches, along with millions of witches and practice within the dungeon, it couldn’t go wrong.

The connection of the two dungeon worlds also means that both dungeons have successfully integrated into the rule of Bai Yi.

"Master, you have arrived."

A voice came through the network, Bai Yi immediately switched her view to the source of the voice.

Within the largest ship island on the sea surface, she saw several witch heroes who returned with her this time, as well as newly joined territory members Knight and Wade.

Standing beside them were two witch leaders who returned from two other low-tier dungeons.

They were chosen as the heads of the witches in two low-tier dungeons without witch Hero Units, among which from the tier 3 dungeon was naturally the original Pope.

And another from a tier 2 dungeon, a scientist from that world who had earned this status through their knowledge in the construction of the ship island.

As witches who had led a dungeon for her and also possessed their own talents, Bai Yi naturally would not deprive them of their "second-level node" privileges.

And she planned to officially recognize them and have them transform into true Hero Units within her territory.

Feeling Bai Yi’s arrival, even the witches who had never seen Bai Yi before were aware of what was happening, and greeted Bai Yi.

However, in her current form of a soul slice without a physical Avatar, Bai Yi couldn’t linger; she simply conveyed a message to them.

"Welcome back, return to the territory first, I’ll wait for you there."

"Yes!"

Especially a few witches who had never seen Bai Yi, they were exceedingly excited upon hearing Bai Yi’s voice, loudly replied, and quickly set out, almost wanting to return to the territory the next second to meet the deeply yearned Bai Yi.

Bai Yi could only remind them:

"By the way, remember to bring those Beastmen back as well."

Bai Yi had not forgotten those Beastmen; through the Swarm Network, Bai Yi had already sensed their presence.

After they were received by Bai Fa, they were all integrated into the Swarm Consciousness with the newly invested spores, falling under the control of the network.

But even so, what Bai Yi didn’t expect was that on the way the witches were bringing back the captured Beastmen, an accident still happened.

But it was not the Beastmen themselves, but an external force.

Power of Faith: A special kind of Spirit energy with high quality, usable in a large number of magic-powered machines, serving as a premium energy source. However, it is rather troublesome to obtain, usually requiring the capture of wild divine entities and the extraction of this power through their believers, which has also given rise to many God Hunters...

[Note: The Society for the Protection of Gods hereby appeals that there would be no killing if there’s no trade, wild divine entities are important resources, please do not kill gods for mere temporal desires...]
