The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 391 - 214: Their Exhaustion, Our Abundance (6k)_2

She has been researching this new knowledge for three days.

Before receiving the news of the attack, she had just made some progress in studying this spell-like ability.

From the operation mode of this spell-like ability, she identified its essence.

Although at present her superpower cannot truly edit genes nor can she concretely transform this ability into a gene entry, she can simulate it using various genes she currently possesses.

This magic is, if truly calculated, not very different from self-healing abilities; indeed, it is highly similar to some of Bai Yi’s known skills and potions that stimulate self-healing.

However, the stimulation from this magic is greater, and it accelerates the proliferation even more swiftly.

It has even reached a level similar to Bai Yi’s current effect when using her superpower on non-plant creatures after fusing with that Witch Relic.

The only difference lies in this magic breaking through the limits of biological proliferation or, one might say, a certain healing upper limit.

If it were an ordinary self-healing ability, it would stop cell proliferation after repairing the wound because the cells "believe" self-healing is complete.

The difference merely lies in whether this "belief" is timely, leading to some degree of excessive proliferation resulting in scars.

But this ability surpasses this limit on that foundation.

Cells think?

No, no, no, I want to be the one who thinks.

To put it simply, it’s somewhat similar to cancer cells, completely liberating the self-proliferation limits.

Yet, compared to true cancer cell proliferation, this seems more controllable.

After all, it’s all achieved through magic stimulation, without giving cells this strength truly.

By relying on this controllable stimulation of cells, it allows itself to inflate like blowing a balloon.

And reversing this magic enables cellular apoptosis. Alternating the two usages, it allows beasts to switch freely between human and original forms.

Changing appearance is just one usage of this spell-like ability.

Or rather, it is the direction these beasts in this world have discovered to be useful.

However, in Bai Yi’s view, such usage seems wasteful.

A perfectly good method for cellular-level control of the body could clearly be used as a way to enhance one’s combat power.

Using this stimulation to rapidly inflate combat power, Bai Yi even thinks, if beasts truly delve into this ability, they might indeed break through to the Seventh Rank.

Even if it might only be a temporary encounter with the threshold of Rank Seven, it would still count as combat power at Rank Seven.

Plus, usually, it consumes at Tier Six, simply perfect.

Yet these beasts insist on holding a treasure while not using it, opting instead to weaken themselves, disguise as humans, and pursue some foreign Qi fortune power...

It’s truly like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

From Bai Yi’s perspective, this uncontrollable foreign power can only be used externally, not as one’s core.

Thus, even if lost, it would not cause much impact.

Just like her current research on faith, she merely wants to utilize this extra energy, not planning to dabble in godhood-related pursuits as a core.

Comparatively, Bai Yi still trusts her own superpower more, believing in the race she cultivated.

Plus, the empire’s Qi fortune isn’t necessarily anything good.

These past few days, the Insect Swarm has gathered quite a bit of intelligence, and even though she wouldn’t randomly direct the actual implementation on the front line, Bai Yi still pays attention to the intelligence.

Especially regarding parts about the Qi fortune power.

This system, which seems extremely suitable for her, is one she particularly focuses on, wanting to get some understanding of it first.

Moreover, this empire’s Qi fortune system always gives her a strangely familiar feeling.

Yet only until the past two days, as more related information emerged, did she finally have a vague guess. ƒreewebɳovel.com

This empire’s Qi fortune... how is it so akin to Power of Faith?

Although both not only have significant differences in terminology but also in their manifestation, preventing Bai Yi from recognizing it immediately.

After all, compared to the path of faith, where fanatics emerge any minute, the empire doesn’t have these openly displayed.

But upon careful reflection, it’s apparent that those ordinary people frequently mentioning the Emperor, isn’t it also a kind of faith expression?

Even those martial artists with rebellious thoughts have the ultimate goal to re-embrace the Emperor.

The degree of their admiration for the Emperor is no less than that of fanatics.

The core hasn’t changed; all rely on large groups of humans or intelligent creatures to gather power and ultimately control its utilization.

Only now, the Emperor within the empire replaces the position a "god" should exist in, without much need for faith from lower "humans."

But in essence, it’s all based on worship of a "god."

Upon peeling away the exterior, the internal structure is essentially the same, just with some differences in detail.

For instance, in various cities and towns, all have officials of different levels filtering this "Qi fortune," though there is some loss, it indirectly serves as filtration.

If in essence, the two are indeed the same thing, she could reference these methods.

Additionally, there’s that special reconnaissance way they have to detect the Insect Swarm and other unmanifested special uses.
