Chapter 346: Chapter 203: The Undead Won’t Work, Then Let’s Plant Beastmen! (6k)

It’s not that the gene entry is deceptive, but it only displays its apparent attributes.

There are still many hidden attributes, or rather, the derived effects from the apparent effects are not displayed.

For instance, the fusion with this entry clearly leads to the abandonment of a normal biological structure, namely, the brain.

Or to put it another way, once fused with this entry, the first thing to do is to abandon the brain.

If fused during a period of weakness, due to the weakness of the soul fire itself, it cannot bring enough wisdom, turning directly into an unconscious dead.

Becoming the low-tier skeletons that Bai Yi saw at the very beginning, who only hack at the sight of people.

But once this talent grows and reaches a high-tier or directly transforms at a not low rank, this is indeed a nice bonus.

After all, it’s magic power value that increases with level!

As per her current condition, if she were to fuse, it would inexplicably increase her magic power value by nearly thirty thousand!

According to the calculated data estimation, this is already half of her current magic power value!

Of course, compared to the side effects of fusing with this ability, Bai Yi still chooses to keep her distance.

After all, once transformed into the dead, an extra weakness is inexplicably added, which is really too fatal.

Originally, for normal creatures, this is still an equivalent exchange, removing the various fatal weaknesses that life inherently carries, while also becoming immune to pain, near-death effects, etc.

And the cost is the addition of soul fire, this obvious weakness.

That is not only the fear of light element and sacred damage, but also means that once there is a way to annihilate soul flames, it means instant death.

As for Bai Yi herself, and the various creatures under her command, relying on their powerful recovery abilities, the various fatal weaknesses on them have long been compensated for.

Inexplicably adding an instantly lethal weakness is something Bai Yi could never accept.

Moreover, there’s a hidden effect that only by truly becoming dead can one know.

According to Zhan Yi, this effect is not even directly displayed on the panel, and it’s a pattern she summed up herself.

After the dead ignite the soul fire, it’s not just about letting it burn peacefully; it also requires fuel!

And its fuel is the soul itself!

When the low-tier soul flames are weaker, the fuel needed is also less, and it is not very obvious.

That’s why in the low-tier phase, territories that haven’t observed soul capabilities haven’t noticed this issue.

Once the undead grow, this issue becomes particularly prominent.

Just like living creatures need food and even magic power to sustain, soul fire needs to constantly burn a large amount of soul as fuel to maintain.

Zhan Yi discovered this issue because she forcibly upgraded a Tier Five undead using the power of the panel after her territory promotion, and it burned out and died in front of her within a few days.

Although the undead themselves have some non-curative solutions, such as entering hibernation to lower the activity of soul fire, or devouring low-tier undead or living creatures to obtain "fuel."

But these are ultimately not a long-term solution; even other creatures can already naturally draw power to maintain themselves. Now pulling out something that must constantly devour souls to survive, what kind of situation is that?

At least before this side effect is resolved, Bai Yi does not intend to use this entry herself.

Apart from these two main effects, this entry also provides some necessary talents to the fuser.

For example, allowing one to fuse the devouring of other soul fire, control the skeleton of one’s own body, and naturally grasp necromancy conversion magic, which can infect defeated targets into new undead.

These are rather marginal abilities, such as the first two representing the growth of undead and the absolute control and mastery of high-tier undead over subordinates.

They are also the most basic innate abilities that all undead can master.

The latter is a way for undead to expand themselves, a new skill obtained only after the undead reach Tier Three.

These are what Bai Yi saw on the panels of these undead when extracting the gene entry.

Purely from these innate abilities of the undead themselves, it is indeed an extremely powerful race.

Ignoring pain perception and having no food consumption are two divine skills that are invaluable in the early stages!

The former allows the Lord to easily accumulate powerful combat power in the early stages, and the latter can greatly reduce consumption, alleviate food pressure, allowing the Lord to focus on raising combat power without being troubled by these issues in the early stages.

The contagious ability unlocked after Tier Three, as long as a suitable dungeon world is found, can explosively increase troops in minutes and bring them back to the territory.

Even if operated well, just like her, can directly occupy the dungeon planet using twice granted access permissions.

Of course, this requires some luck, and the dungeon world must lean towards modernity.

The subsequent higher-tier ability to conduct undead synthesis also allows the Lord to quickly gain higher-tier strength, achieving cross-tier combat power.

If it weren’t for the fact that the superpower system she created was better, purely in terms of strength, this undead system would definitely be her first choice for a Lord profession!

Bai Yi speculates that as long as this profession could be further perfected.

Purely with this one profession, it might be able to directly amass a Tier Five Lord like Jun Lin and Corpse King.

It is indeed a pity that this growth path is cut off halfway...

However, fortunately, in these three days of staring contests, she still has a little bit of unspeakable discovery.
