Chapter 463: Chapter 232: Tier 6 Gene Enhancement (6k)_2

As long as the opponent strikes a few more times, as long as they are smart enough, they will soon notice the issue.

But many times in battle, it is those few hits that produce the effect needed. Once you seize the upper hand, you can easily gain an advantage.

This isn’t something that would occur in a game. Even in a real battle, especially one where forces are evenly matched, once you take the advantage, you might be gradually defeated starting from a small injury.

In contrast, after acquiring this talent ability, once you absorb the corresponding damage and convert it into Magic Power, you can combine it with the White Clothes’ race, which is most skilled at self-healing, to take effect.

Use Magic Power to exchange for Life Value, replenishing the lost Life Value.

You just need to take hits to recover Magic Power, and Magic Power in turn restores Life Value.

Even though it’s not as if you can step on your right foot and fly, it greatly enhances survival ability.

Faced with pure spell damage, taking into account the various damage-reducing abilities, it might only cause forty percent or even less of the original damage.

Even worse, this hard-earned damage might quickly be healed by the opponent using the Magic Power they generated.

Ultimately, rounding up, a spell or superpower might only inflict ten to twenty percent of its original damage, which is just a huge loss.

It’s just that the witches can’t have a metallic carapace like the Insect Swarm.

Theoretically, if this ability could be fused onto the Insect Swarm and further combined with the damage-to-shield conversion ability developed by the Mechanical Brain Worm, along with the magic resistance brought by rune enchantment, that would be the strongest state!

But this is just wishful thinking.

Not to mention, one is based on mechanical rune technology, which must be implemented on a metallic carapace or machinery, while the other must be achieved on a blood-flesh body.

Even if it were fused, due to the physiological structure of the Insect Swarm, they wouldn’t fully manifest the ability of this gene.

In fact, not just this one gene, but subsequent constitution genes are also like this.

Such as increasing body density and piercing resistance by mimicking plant cells, activating scale-like skin through Magic Power, there are more than a dozen genes that enhance immunity to various damages.

These resistance abilities formed through various micro-mechanisms already cover almost any physical and spell damage types.

But as a gene more inclined towards the physical body, although it’s useful against creatures like the Insect Swarm, the effect is relatively much smaller.

The fused effect can’t compare to races inclined towards the physical body like witches and the Sea Son.

But that is of no consequence. The metalization prior to this was much stronger in its enhancement effects on the Insect Swarm than on the witches, and the enhanced Combat Power was significantly higher than that of the witches.

After all, genes are like that. As the rank gets higher, to achieve extreme effects, the physiological structure of the race begins to have requirements.

It always happens that a gene is stronger in one race and becomes less suitable in another.

No longer like in the past where a set of basic genes could all be applied.

This is all quite normal.

Even if you really want to strengthen, in the future, you can always find a way to select some specifically from the gene pool for the Insect Swarm, enhancing a unique set of genes.

Compared to constitution enhancement, the remaining three attribute categories of genes seem relatively lower.

But that is only relatively speaking, at least on the mechanism front, these three attribute genes are not inferior, all results of Bai Yi’s significant effort to cultivate them.

But the most troublesome among them would be the agility class of genes.

When Bai Yi was enhancing this gene, she was somewhat perplexed.

For a moment, she didn’t know what the use of "agility", or the attribute of agility, was at this level, or what direction it could grow in.

Speaking of movement speed, it actually doesn’t depend on agility but rather on "strength" and "constitution".

The former determines your maximum speed, and the latter determines the speed you can achieve.

But uniquely, it’s not entirely unrelated to agility, it’s just hardly relevant.

For what genes can do, in the previous ranks, they have already achieved the best. If you want to enhance further, you would have to change physiological structures.

In the end, based on her insights, Bai Yi could only brainstorm and think of working on the nervous system to increase neural reaction speed.

This was also a result Bai Yi came up with by gradually comparing with the previous gene enhancements, where most of the foundational parts of the agility attribute were enhancements of cellular structures, etc.

Most enhancements actually started from neural reactions, yet for ordinary creatures, unless it is a leap-type enhancement or a specialized test, it is simply indiscernible.

This also included Bai Yi.

Finding the direction for enhancement doesn’t mean she can directly proceed.

But as she researched, the previous genes had already pushed agility to the limit in this regard, making further breakthroughs difficult.

The future had no further references.

After all, even before Bai Yi became a Lord, in modern biology, there had never been any heard-of studies going deep into the nerve level.

Not even providing any ideas.

Though Bai Yi was long aware that these attributes would reach this stage, she didn’t expect it to happen so soon, encountering this kind of problem at Tier Six.
