The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 250 - 161 First Generation Witch Race
Chapter 250: Chapter 161 First Generation Witch Race
This time, the five sub-species that were cultivated all depended on external appendages to carry out the addition of superpowers.
However, when placed on the witch, combined with the witch’s own magic talent, the superpower was renamed and called the witch’s "Talent."
Each of the five races has a distinct talent.
For example, the Feather Clan masters the Wind Series, the Sea Clan the Ice Series, the Cat Girl the Space Series, the Elf Clan the Nature Series, and the Fox Lady the Fire Series.
The external appendages also underwent certain changes to ensure they both reflect the racial characteristics and do not hinder daily activities.
For instance, if one thinks directly of the Feather Clan, what comes to mind are wings and feathers.
But if witches were really to carry a pair of large wings, not to mention being as convenient as Bai Yi’s own tail for daily use, it would even become a burden.
Even the sole purpose of aiding in flight loses its meaning due to the existence of the Sky Control Technique.
Eventually, with the assurance that they could be accommodated, the wings were reduced in size, hung over the head, and positioned behind the ears, paired with some feathers as the characteristic of the Feather Clan.
While the Cat Girl and the Fox Lady are the simplest ones, each was given a tail that could accommodate superpowers, and if one wishes to enhance this witch talent in the future, it can be achieved directly by increasing the number of tails.
However, having only a tail is a bit too little to be truly Cat Girl or Fox Lady!
Bai Yi took the initiative to add decorative beast ears to them, turning them into quadrophonic creatures.
After all, Bai Yi no longer urgently needs combat power, nor does she need to focus all her strength on it, now she has the capacity to pursue some beauty.
Moreover, these ears are not entirely useless, at least with the ears taken from the Beastman, hearing is greatly strengthened.
Paired with quadrophonic enhancement, it even naturally comes with the ability to identify position by sound.
These two races were then taken over by Shang Ji and Bai Fa, where Shang Ji hopes to use this to increase his work efficiency, and Bai Fa simply fancied the Fox Lady’s Fire Series talent.
As for the remaining Elf and Sea Clans.
The former relies on mutated ears and a pair of soft wings behind for housing capabilities.
And the source of the superpower comes from Bai Yi herself, Furistin, and those Lower God Fragments from the Forest Elf.
Although these Divine Fragments and relics haven’t been used much by Bai Yi, they are all in her hands.
It is just because they are perfectly substituted by Bai Yi’s own superpower organ and there are also not many of them, making them insignificant, they weren’t cultivated further.
Not until later when the territory "Eternal Garden" was remodeled and the gardener team was formally established, only then were a mere twenty relics distributed for cultivation.
And now they just happen to be useful, allowing their corresponding genes to be extracted and used as the witches’ superpower.
This part of the gene wasn’t as strong as her own, only possessing basic plant growth promotion and plant communication functions.
Like her own superpower, gene extraction and fusion were not included.
This isn’t because Bai Yi didn’t want to add them, but because she couldn’t find the corresponding genes.
If it were a normal Mutant Creature, the superpower organ on their body would represent all of their abilities, but her own superpower organ seems to have been neutered, only retaining the most basic functions.
It seems those abilities are truly only imprinted in her soul, impossible to locate.
Although it’s a pity, this bit of superpower is enough for the witches for now.
After extraction, the superpower was fused into the soft wings behind the elves, becoming their Nature Series talent.
The chooser for this race is also someone from the territory who was once responsible for planting and has now transitioned to managing the Potion Workshop, Nong Yi.
And the last remaining Sea Clan, after much thought, Bai Yi could only think of tentacles as a characteristic of the Sea Clan.
But if the witches were to integrate with tentacles, she really couldn’t think of where they could be placed.
In the end, she simply gave up and, imitating the other two tailed races, hung the tentacles behind their bodies.
Originally, Bai Yi intended to give the Sea Clan Water Series superpowers, as it fits the nature of the Sea Clan—who else if not they should play with water?
But after scouring through all the creatures within the territory, she found herself unable to find a strong Water Series superpower.
In the end, she had to settle for the Ice Series as the Sea Clan’s witch talent.
This was also the race that raised the most objections after the fusion.
Mainly regarding the placement of the tentacles, they believed the tentacles could be positioned in more suitable places, and the style could better match combat.
Suggestions from the other four races were quite similar, believing that some effects could be strengthened.
For example, the Feather Clan’s eagle eyes, adding certain special abilities to the feathers, the two tailed races could directly step up by increasing the number of tails, thus enhancing the strength of their talents through quantitative changes, etc.
"These are all minor issues...
Under the premise that they do not fundamentally change, making these modifications is quite simple.
I can finish the modifications in just over ten minutes tomorrow.
But the question is, how can tomorrow’s modifications increase the suitability for spore infections..."
This issue, Bai Yi has been considering intermittently these days, but still has not found a good solution.
The low adaptability nature of the witch spore is like overly differentiated cells; excessive genes also in return limit the original universality of spore infections.
Just like many machines, the simpler the function, the lower the requirements for the user.
But as the functions of the machine become progressively more complex, the level of knowledge required of the user gradually increases, and even some machines require professional training to use.
These spore infections are also taking the same path.
Originally, single genes only required mindless Fusion, such as those initially intended to alter gender.
Similarly, the spore infections specially cultivated by Bai Yi purely endowed with Swarm Consciousness, to capture powerful creatures.
They could ignore species differences; as long as it’s a normal animal, fusion was possible.
"If I give up on ’Adaptability’ and no longer consider the infected individual...
But purely aim to transform the subject into a witch, it just requires further perfecting the gene, forcibly transforming the infected creature into a witch template, that might be feasible?
Since adaptability remodeling isn’t viable, I could ’force assignment’, forcibly adjusting the targets to fit my requirements, right?
No matter what creature the other party is, as long as I ignore their original form, what I ultimately need is only a witch.
Without forcibly modifying their superpower, this could even retain the target’s main abilities, serving as the ’Magic Talent’ for my sub-race of witches!"
Had this been before the Witch Sub-race division plan, Bai Yi really had no good ideas and could only slowly remodel, increasing adaptability painstakingly.
But now, with different races of witches, there was no longer a need to stubbornly infect targets to turn them into one of her own, transforming them into witches of a new race was an option.
After this realization, Bai Yi felt relieved and went back to her tree cavity to sleep.
The next morning, Bai Yi started putting last night’s ideas into practice.
Despite last night’s good thoughts, practical operations still encountered some troubles.
Mainly it involved how to define the witch’s genes.
Ensuring the infected targets could transform into the look of a witch without excessively altering their physical traits and retaining their characteristics.
This level of fine-tuning had to be determined through repeated experiments.
If too few genes were defined, the result could lead to a Furry leaning towards a beastly form; too many and one would end up with a witch whose original traits were indiscernible.
There was even the possibility of a direct demise at the infection site due to conflicts between superpowers if the infection spore came from a certain sub-race.
If such a situation really occurred, having an intact corpse would already be the best outcome; more often, the dual abilities would dismember the body in their respective ways.
As for how Bai Yi knew this...
Don’t ask, asking only meant one more dish of hot-cold rabbit at lunch.
It’s also fortunate that Bai Yi realized something was off beforehand, and decided to steady her hand, not directly performing the witch transformation experiment but instead got a rabbit from a restaurant in Eternal Life City to experiment on in advance.
Otherwise, she would have ended up killing a witch.
For the current White·Insect Queen·Cat Cat Sovereign·Mother of the Sea Son (unilaterally claimed by Sea Son)·Primordial Witch·Yi.
Having her subordinates kill a witch was completely the equivalent of committing involuntary manslaughter before she came to this world.
As long as death wasn’t caused by superpower conflicts, with Bai Yi’s current skills, even if the final infection resulted in a bizarre form, Bai Yi could still save them.
However, to go on with experiments, a large number of Mutant Creatures were needed as experimental subjects.
Bai Sheng, who was always in charge of this, had to handle the Ocean Battle Zone, and sea creatures weren’t suitable for Bai Yi’s experiments.
That left assigning the task to the front-line Lords, and as long as a mission was posted, there was no worry nobody would undertake it.
This could also serve as a new round of the "Lord Incentive Plan," helping to advertise her newly planned products.
The timing was just about right, as the Cycle Challenge was about to begin.
She immediately drafted a message and sent it out on the channel:
"Recruiting live Mutant Creatures, at least 2-Tier, but must be in good health without any apparent injuries, pay negotiable."
"Damn, the great Fan Mao!"
"Fan Mao is waiting, I’m coming for the wool!"
"Does Fan Mao have any specific requirements for Mutant Creatures?"
"..."
After adding a few additional requests in the channel, the Lords in the channel were all energized, just waiting for the challenge to start in order to complete Bai Yi’s tasks.
Although Bai Yi didn’t mention any specific rewards, her consistent generosity had already gained everyone’s trust in Fan Mao.
Whatever Fan Mao offers, would surely not disappoint.
What Bai Yi was preparing this time, were precisely the Space Equipment she mentioned a few days ago.
Just perfect as there was some spare time before the first batch of captured experimental subjects from those Lords arrived, it was perfect to study an ultimate poor man’s version of a Space Ring.
"Ah, the First Generation rings have room for improvement, can’t be too big, just start with a small ten cubic meters, and it shouldn’t be too stable, need to find a way to remove the stasis state, otherwise it won’t seem like my research is ’difficult’...
Right, just add a decay feature to counteract the intrinsic stasis of Space Equipment~"
.........
Cat Witch: Cat Witches, skilled in Space Ability, are very popular everywhere, especially in external combat and hunting, not only because of their potent space storage capacity but also due to their appearance, it is said that like Elf Witches, they represent two aspects of the Primordial Witch, their fondness for seafood is also the same...
[Note: Cat Witches are really cute! I’ve got one at home, waiting for her to grow up to marry her as my wife! Hehehe...]
[Note on the note: Yikes! That’s underage! What if you accidentally lose control? Better send her to my house for protection]
