The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 639 - Torrent, Time to Stop

The locusts consumed the Deathsworn and absorbed their death aura. While they could digest the Deathsworn due to the effects of Famine, the death aura was not as simple to overcome.

Half of the locusts died. Of the survivors, another half mutated into weaker, inferior forms. Only a quarter of the locusts in total successfully evolved into a new species capable of turning death aura into experience to level themselves up.

These were called Death Aura Bugs and were the natural enemies of the Deathsworn. Still, Han Wu had lost 75% of his locusts just to obtain them.

The Origin of Mutation watched as the death aura tormented a swarm of locusts to death. It ran out of the barrier to Han Wu. The lingering scent of Karl on its body meant none of the Deathsworn dared to attack it, allowing the Origin of Mutation to calmly mutate the locusts at its own pace.

With its help, the success rate for mutation drastically increased to 80%. It was a terrifying concept. Their crystal could summon 6250 locusts per minute, which equated to 5000 Death Aura Bugs every minute.

The locust spawn rate was higher than the rate at which the Deathsworn were crawling out from the Nether Realm. The Deathsworn around them slowly dwindled under the ravenous consumption of the ever-multiplying Death Aura Bugs.

The viewers from the Divine Civilization were all in shock.

“I never thought the swarm tactic could be so powerful.”

“Have locusts always been that powerful? Mom, I want to raise some locusts as my core race!”

“Locusts that can kill Deathsworn? That’s precious research material! Quick, gather some researchers to look into this. This will be the next big discovery after the previous findings on how to deal with the undead!”

Those from the Divine River Civilization were equally excited.

“What are those? We need to gather that species of locusts. We finally found a natural enemy of the Deathsworn!”

“We’ve fought against the Nether Realm for so long, but now we have a solution.”

“Wait, do you think the Divine Civilization would still be friendly to us after what we did?”

Silence pervaded in response to that question. Anyone with an iota of intelligence already knew the answer to that. The Divine River Civilization had executed underhanded plans to kill the Origin of Mutation. It was already a blessing that the Divine Civilization had not declared war on them yet.

The Divine River Civilization representative turned to his counterpart. The Divine Civilization representative simply clicked his tongue and pointedly ignored them.

Those from the Divine River Civilization watched this exchange in silence.

Back in the match, Han Wu brought the Death Aura Bugs on a rampage. They reclaimed many of the beast nests, farming experience, gold, and materials from them.

They used the experience to level up and gain more resources. The gold and materials, on the other hand, were used to craft more equipment. As Han Wu’s eyes swept over his army of Death Aura Bugs, a brilliant idea popped into his head.

The unlimited Deathsworn allowed him to easily nurture a massive swarm of Death Aura Bugs as well as gather other resources. In a sense, the match itself was a bottomless treasure chest. He didn’t have to pay a single cent to accumulate treasures.

In other words, there wasn’t any reason to end the fight. Han Wu was going to use the beasts and Deathsworn in this match to raise a new army.

Mind made up, he led the Death Aura Bugs away from the dragon-nest-turned-Nether-Realm so more Deathsworn could spawn. He then led the Death Aura Bug army to encircle every single beast nest on both their and the opponent’s side of the field, effectively monopolizing all the resources from the match.

This slew of resources, experience, and gold would allow his team to grow exponentially stronger. Han Wu’s army of Death Aura Bugs followed his orders without objection, and they soon conquered half of the Divine River Civilization’s side of the field.

Fearing the Divine River Civilization’s team would not hold out, he even sent several hundred Death Aura Bugs to deal with the Deathsworn for their side as well.

Those from the Divine River Civilization were speechless. The swarm of seemingly unkillable Deathsworn was naught but a meal for the Divine Civilization’s team. The gap between them was disheartening.

Warmaster lost his will to fight. Their enemies were everywhere. How could they fight back?

“Should we just give up?” he asked. “Torrent, let’s stop. There’s nothing but enemies outside.”

Torrent refused. “We still haven’t reached the end of the fight. We can’t give up now. We still have one final trump card.”

“Trump card? You mean plan A? The plan to consolidate the energy of all of the Super Genesoldiers within a ten km radius to activate Final Judgement?” Warmaster asked.

While Final Judgement was stronger than Obsidrum Judgement, it also had a much shorter range. Both the Origin of Mutation and the Divine Civilization’s crystal were on the opposite end of the field. Final Judgement would not reach either of them.

“I can do it. Trust me,” Torrent said seriously, a determined look on his face.

Warmaster immediately understood what Torrent intended. Though he wanted to stop him, no words came out.

Completing the mission that the Divine River Civilization had bestowed upon them was the utmost honor for a Super Genesoldier. This was Torrent’s time to earn that honor. There was no way Warmaster could stop him.

“Torrent, do what you must. The Divine River Civilization will forever stand by your side.” Warmaster patted Torrent’s shoulder.

Torrent nodded and activated Plan A. “Everyone, lend me your strength!”

Warmaster, Oracle, Selene, and Carnage felt their energy flow toward Torrent. The same thing happened to the 1,000 clones of Heavenrender Super Genesoldiers.

A massive energy blade capable of piercing through the heavens appeared in Torrent’s hands. It steadily grew in size until it was big enough for the Divine Civilization’s team to see from the opposite end of the field.

“Are they using another of their sure-hit techniques? Who are they attacking?” Han Wu asked.

The Origin of Mutation chuckled. “Who do you think, vessel?” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

“Then it would be best if you retreated further back. The fissure from the massive blade would trip you,” Han Wu joked. He didn’t expect the giant energy blade to hit them from hundreds of kilometers away.

Unperturbed, Han Wu continued to absorb the death aura in the air and reached level 60. He was given three choices once more.

[1: Unlock Strength 15%]

[2: Unlock Microcosm]

[3: Obtain Special Equipment: Flash Boots]

Han Wu ignored the first one as usual. Skipping over the second for the time being, he checked the details of the Flash Boots. This special equipment allowed him to move freely and instantly within a three-meter radius. The movement speed was set at 0.02 seconds.

He immediately lost interest in it. While it was undeniably quick, a three-meter radius was too small. He could easily achieve similar results with his physical strength. Since the third option was useless, he chose the second.

After unlocking his Microcosm, it appeared in his hands. He could now summon the life forms from his Microcosm into the match at will. However, he didn’t do so as they would be affected by the rules of the match, and their powers would be sealed.

Even the strongest unit would be forced to start from level 1, making them weaker than the locusts. They would probably end up dying for nothing. There was no way Han Wu would do something as idiotic as that.

Fortunately, the benefits of having his Microcosm weren’t restricted to just summoning his units. The presence of his Microcosm increased his energy reserves, meaning he could merge his Death Aura Bugs without limit!
