My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 395 - 315: The Insect Race’s Doomsday Has Arrived (4)
Xue Dili: "..."
"After using the Divine Tree to kill insects, the Divine Tree will grow into an even more troublesome enemy, causing an even greater disaster, so this research was abandoned. But you are different, dear Sage, you have actually created a product that restrains the Divine Tree." The High Elf did not hesitate to give his praise.
However, Xue Dili felt a bit embarrassed, as this bacteriophage was researched by another version of himself, and he merely further modified it from the original strain.
Soon, Xue Dili handed over the Divine Tree and the bacteriophage within it to the High Elf, who eagerly took the research results back to headquarters.
After preliminary experiments, the Commander of the Interstellar Corps directly said: "Mass produce!"
...
Under Xue Dili’s arrangement, a large number of insect corpses were piled into a cooled glass pit, densely packed with tens of thousands of Insect Race corpses.
And for the first time, Xue Dili did something a "Thirteenth Apostle" needed to do, which was planting trees!
He planted the Divine Tree on the corpses, and soon, these Divine Trees absorbed the nutrients from the insect corpses and grew frantically.
But after growing to a person’s height, he immediately controlled the Cursed Blood, as well as the bacteriophages within, to suppress their growth speed, then began plucking off branches to make them into special weapons.
Whether it’s bullets, arrows, shells, or javelins, or even crafted into longswords and spears, they would be one of the special weapons against insects.
Even shields made from it would be a special defense against the insect hive.
The only downside of turning it into melee weapons is that after using the Divine Tree Greatsword to slice through insects, the sword might immediately and hungrily parasitize the insect’s body, regardless of who its host is.
Also, if accidentally injured by one’s own weapon, the Divine Tree cells might instantly go berserk, consuming the host through the wound. Although the bacteriophage would act immediately, by the time it takes effect, the devoured host is likely already beyond saving.
You could say it’s a very dangerous weapon, but for this world now...
For those Free Iron Curtain members yearning to reclaim their homeland, counterattack Rongdu, and openly take back their planet, such a cost is entirely acceptable.
The main reason is, it’s low-cost.
Soon, after Xue Dili taught them all the technical details, they began setting up a Divine Tree processing assembly line factory and the production of Divine Tree Bullets.
...
In just two days, this Divine Tree Bullet weapon was applied in actual combat.
The army had already reclaimed several cities, and when they arrived at a major economic metropolis of the former Super Iron Curtain, they encountered a Tier Five Insect Race War Soldier.
This War Soldier seemed to have absorbed plenty of geothermal nutrients, growing very large; even lying on the ground, it towered over a hundred meters high, like a terrifying ancient monster.
Then...
After being swept by a few rounds of Divine Tree Bullets, its entire body was overgrown with invasive branches. The plant roots desperately absorbed the nutrients from its body, continuously growing within until numerous branches and roots burst it apart from the inside, completely blowing apart the Tier Five War Soldier.
According to humans who witnessed this scene:
I always thought insects were inherently evil, that all creatures feel pain, fear, and terror, but not the insects. Yet that day, when the Insect Race War Soldier shrieked hysterically and watched the branches crush its shell, and the trees exploded from within, utterly annihilating that terrifying Insect Race War Soldier... I realized...
These insects have probably met the true Death God! From today onwards, the apocalypse for the insect swarm has arrived.
