The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 1286 - 947, Genetic Furnace_2

Chapter 1286: Chapter 947, Genetic Furnace_2

It seems like their relationship is really good.

He’s not the type of Necromancer who treats ghosts as mere tools or experimental results.

"Hmph! Foolish... can’t achieve great things."

He muttered softly, but his eyes still glanced over from time to time.

...

After the pain subsided, consciousness returned.

Immediately after, the system prompt followed.

[Strength +2, Constitution +5, Agility +3.]

[Feature Unlocked: Genetic Furnace.]

Hearing the system prompt, Wu Heng was delighted again.

A total of 10 points were added to his attributes, mainly to Constitution, which would improve his physical condition.

And also, he awakened a new feature.

In modern terms, it’s called ’Superpower’.

Wu Heng sat up from Glenda’s arms, and Xiao Xiao wiped his sweat, "Uncle, are you feeling better?"

"I’m fine, just the side effects of the elixir." Wu Heng sat back down on the chair.

Bella handed him a glass of water, "Luckily, we didn’t waste a bottle of Detoxifying Potion."

"You guys are overreacting, I make so much money, what’s wrong with drinking an elixir?" Wu Heng said grudgingly.

Glenda smiled and said, "We’re mainly worried about reducing the elixir’s effectiveness, how did it go this time?"

Wu Heng said, "Not bad, I feel a significant enhancement."

He opened the panel and looked at the newly unlocked feature.

[Genetic Furnace]: By consuming your own life force, you can fuse cells into the genetic chain of any known creature, gaining its physiological traits.

Genes!

It sounds like something very scientific.

He carefully read the description above.

His brows furrowed slightly.

By reorganizing cells, consuming your own life force, and fusing cells into the genetic chain of any known creature, gaining its physiological traits.

Does this mean I can fuse with the memory chains of other organisms?

Thinking about it, it makes sense that the Corpse King level zombies were evolving towards the rhinoceros beetle, indicating a significant genetic alteration rather than just the influence of the zombie virus.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing him in a daze, Glenda asked again.

Wu Heng returned to his senses and said, "I acquired a new superpower."

"Wow! Uncle got another superpower!"

"Since you’ve ingested a Corpse King level Corpse Core, the probability of getting a superpower is naturally higher." Bella continued to ask, "What kind of superpower?"

"I can fuse biological genes and gain the characteristics of that organism. The specifics are not yet clear." Wu Heng said.

Glenda asked, "What’s a gene?"

Bella looked at Xiao Xiao, who shook her head, "I haven’t studied it, but it sounds familiar from somewhere."

Wu Heng explained, "It’s the basic structure of living beings, roughly meaning something like blood type, constitution and the like, just like how the Corpse King has insect characteristics, with wings and a horn."

Understanding the general idea but finding it difficult to explain.

Glenda thought for a moment and said, "So you mean you could have similar characteristics like those Corpse Kings... It seems like a good ability, you could operate underwater like a fish or fly, very practical."

Bella said, "But insects are a bit scary."

Xiao Xiao pondered and asked, "Does it have to be living beings? What about ghosts?"

"Do ghosts have genes?" Wu Heng countered.

"Just because they haven’t been discovered, does that mean they don’t exist?"

"Um... you have a point." Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao flew around in the air for a moment and then said, "I’ll ask Sister Lilith for some genes, maybe you’ll be able to fly too..."

Instantly, one person and two souls were stunned.

...

On the other side, the Emerald Sea.

The night descended like a curtain, shrouding the sea.

Moonlight struggled to pierce through the clouds, scattering countless shattered silver beams.

Retili stood silently on the deck, her brown long robe and shawl fluttered in the sea breeze, a few strands of golden hair dancing.

An attendant walked out, "Miss Retili, it’s windy outside, you should rest early!"

Retili said, "I’ve been running Lopaz City for over 20 years, leaving suddenly is a bit hard to part with."

The attendant whispered, "Is it worth all the effort?"

"Are you referring to going to Gold and Silver Island?" Retili smiled and said, "It’s my chance, I don’t want to miss it, it’s just some money, I can earn it back later."

"This auction was very successful, you could apply to go to Gold and Silver Island after the new year, why give him so much money now!" The attendant still felt it was a pity.

Retili glanced at him, "He’s been at Gold and Silver Island for so long, making him feel dignified would avoid any trouble, I want to enter Gold and Silver Island peacefully."

"Perhaps you are right."

Retili didn’t say more, just as she was about to return to the cabin, the lookout suddenly shouted, "Ship spotted ahead."

The captain ran out of the cabin urgently.

Retili also walked to the bow, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

Several flickering firelights were slowly moving towards them.

"It’s The Holy Court fleet, many ships... warships!" the lookout shouted.

Retili’s brows furrowed tightly, a sense of unease rising.

"Miss..." The attendant’s voice was serious, "Should we force our way through?"

"Let them come over, I’m curious what they’re doing with so many ships." Retili said.

So many ships, forcing through might lead to a direct battle.

The Snake Badge Consortium still held some deterrent power, even The Holy Court wouldn’t attack recklessly unless necessary.

One of The Holy Court’s ships approached.

Three clergy members boarded the ship, followed by more people preparing to board, looking like they were about to search the ship.

Retili glanced at the captain, who stepped forward and greeted respectfully, "Greetings, sirs."

The leading clergy member nodded, his gaze sweeping over the ship, "Where is this ship headed?"

"Hailing from the Snake Badge Consortium, this ship is conducting some transport activities."

"Snake Badge Consortium?" The clergy member’s eyes narrowed, looking at the flag at the masthead.

"The flag’s not up, if you need, I can show it to you." With that, he took out the flag.

The clergy member glanced at it and said to those behind, "No need to search."

The others retreated.

The clergy member continued, "Where is this ship headed?"

"To Gold and Silver Island!"

"Return, this route is closed." The clergy member said sternly.

The captain narrowed his eyes slightly, "Has something happened, sir? It would be good to have an explanation when I return."

The clergy member sneered, "No need for explanation, Gold and Silver Island will soon no longer exist."

This...

The clergy members left.

The captain relayed the conversation.

Retili’s eyes widened, watching The Holy Court’s ships gradually spread apart, her expression constantly changing.

The Holy Court is going to attack Gold and Silver Island.

Damn it, what on earth has happened recently.

"What should we do next?" The captain asked.

Retili looked at the dense ships ahead, "Turn around and head back."

"Yes!"

...

Island Lord’s Mansion.

Xiao Xiao’s suggestion was like a lightning bolt piercing through the fog.

That’s right!

In the modern world, when talking about gene breakthroughs, people think of other organisms.

But in otherworlds here, there are many races.

"Will it work?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.

Wu Heng said, "If the flying ability of the Blood Clan comes from genes, it’s indeed possible."

If the Blood Clan can fly.

Merfolk can breathe underwater, and there are other various races.

Even without special traits, these races have longer lifespans than humans, which would still benefit him.

New brain is indeed useful.

Glenda praised with a smile, "Still, Xiao Xiao is smart."

"Not really, it just came to mind in a flash of inspiration." Xiao Xiao said modestly.

"A flash of inspiration, not Holy Light... that’s so ominous..." Wu Heng said.

"Inspiration? I remember it as Holy Light!" Xiao Xiao flew over and continued, "It’s a pity Sister Lilith isn’t here, or I would ask her for some genes, ... oh uncle, what are genes, and how do you get them?"

"Blood or some body structures should work!" Wu Heng explained briefly.

He reached into the Space Ring and took out an Organ Jar with a label [Blood Clan Organ].

Glenda raised an eyebrow, "The organs collected before seem useful now."

"Let’s wait until tomorrow morning to try, the side effects of the elixir haven’t completely worn off." Wu Heng said.

"Alright, you should rest early too." Glenda said.

Wu Heng got up, Xiao Xiao and Bella waved goodbye to him.

...

The next morning.

Wu Heng took out the [Emerald Sand Table] for a look, and his eyes immediately narrowed.

All around the Emerald Sea, ships flying The Holy Court flags were flocking towards Gold and Silver Island like swallows returning to their nests.

Along the way, many other ships were also being incorporated into The Holy Court’s fleet, seemingly requisitioned.

He approximately searched for a moment.

And locked onto the largest fleet.

The fleet of the Holy Hall.
