Chapter 347: Chapter 203: The Undead Won’t Work, Then Let’s Grow Beastmen Instead! (6k)_2

"Although these undead may not be considered conventional organisms in terms of physicality, that’s not the case for my superpower...

It’s not just because I can extract base... ahem, entries.

It’s also due to the observation of the soul.

From the perspective of a soul, it indeed meets the criteria of a living being, having a soul and being anchored to an object.

In fact, if we were to compare, the undead are even more like ’living beings’ than Knight, who is an artificial intelligence...

After all, the bodies of the undead once belonged to life, whereas Knight was truly born from the inanimate, relying solely on the electric signals within the dead.

The only difference is that Knight’s computer belongs to the realm of physics, which I can understand and am familiar with.

While the undead, they rely on magic, which I am unfortunately unfamiliar with...

Tsk, it seems that if I want to understand and upgrade these undead, I have to try and learn magic.

Damn it! I never thought I’d end up circling back to magic learning..."

Bai Yi muttered to herself, although somewhat frustrated, she knew that for their enhancement, she had to learn what was necessary.

After confirming their biological essence, Bai Yi also attempted to fuse gene entries onto them, wanting to see what could happen when some entries were integrated.

But, rather unbelievably, some entries did indeed successfully integrate, yet not only did fusing a single entry consume nearly half of her magic power value limit, but most of them also produced no effect at all.

And that’s already over twenty thousand magic power value!

This reaffirmed for Bai Yi that her superpower, although unreasonable at times, still had certain rules that couldn’t be broken, just like during superpower fusion.

For instance, attempts to fuse attribute entries like agility and strength, akin to those used by witches, completely yielded no effect.

The Spirit Attribute slightly enhanced the Soul Flames... just slightly.

The successful fusion allowed the extra Spirit Attribute from the Soul Fire to increase the magic power value by a guaranteed baseline of 20.

Only the Constitution-related entries successfully integrated and exerted most of their effects.

This significantly increased the resilience of the fused undead’s bones and indirectly boosted its health, yielding a similar enhancement to what happens when fusing with normal living beings.

After all, it was a skeleton she was fusing with, and this result was unsurprising.

Even these few entries yielded such results, making it unnecessary to consider those that enhance regeneration or secretion.

If these particular entries had succeeded, that would have been what truly surprised Bai Yi.

Other transcendent genes and Bai Yi’s core entry, Swarm Consciousness, were also tried.

They unexpectedly fit the undead better than attribute-enhancing genes, ultimately integrating into a part of their Soul Flames.

Although it greatly increased the consumption of Soul Flames, it indeed integrated and could be used freely.

Even network connections could function properly.

"There’s no helping it...

While some gene entries can fuse, their effects are truly subpar.

Even integrating metalization just ensured combat capability.

However, the inability to use spore infection as the species under my command is indeed a drawback...

Producing them in batches is impossible, even if they have self-proliferation capabilities, making the species meaningless..."

Although Bai Yi was disheartened by spending three days with no significant gain, persisting here would unlikely yield results, making it best to put it aside temporarily.

To resume research on the undead, either she needs to find breakthrough knowledge or entries in the future, or she must find a breakthrough in magic learning.

Compared to the latter, Bai Yi felt the former was more promising.

Not because she lacks confidence in her learning ability, but because the Battle Zone Challenge was about to end in a few days, with the next Cycle Challenge soon to begin.

If her guess was right, she would have time to enter instances and encounter more power systems.

Clearly, exploring new worlds with foreseeable results offered more hope than uncertain outcomes from continuous study and inspiration.

But pausing the research on the undead meant waiting for a few days for the superpower users needed for artificial abnormal objects, so Bai Yi couldn’t just slack off.

She needed to find something to research for the time being...

If all else failed, she would have to adjust and enhance various genes, even if marginal utility had reached a point where single reinforcements yielded minimal effects, but cumulatively they were considerable.

Especially the attribute-enhancing gene entries, which were essential for further strengthening the relics that had already fused with her superpowers.

Every point in attribute enhancement was worthwhile.

But this was a last resort; for now, Bai Yi still found a target.

That was the Beastmen, experimented with and imagined as a branching race when devising for the witches.

Completely relying on spore infection to derive division and reproduction abilities, giving this group of Beastmen a reproduction potential more terrifying than the Insect Swarm.

Combining the current genes, it aimed to cultivate them into an unrelenting devouring weapon.

Throw a Beastman down in spring, and by autumn, reap a planet drained of resources, along with all it possesses.

Though its functionality might conflict with that of witches and the Insect Swarm, thinking inversely, they incorporated parts of the advantages from both.
