The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 634 - Plan C

After turning all their gold and materials into equipment, Han Wu’s team experienced a significant surge in power.

The Origin of Mutation assumed the role of tank and support. Clad in the new dragon scale armor, it possessed incredible defensive capabilities. It could even use Control Mutation to mutate the locusts and turn them into incredible vanguards.

Xu Hai served as the mage. Though he didn’t have any special equipment, he outfitted himself with items that boosted his energy. His energy bar now stood at 11 times above its previous capacity, more than enough to sustain his high firepower.

Commerce was technically a warrior, but his strength was at rock bottom now. Nonetheless, Han Wu didn’t look down on him. By converting vast quantities of materials and gold into equipment, Commerce had amassed an astonishing fortune. If he expended it all in an instant, his strength would briefly surpass everyone else’s. Unfortunately, the effect could be triggered only once. The moment he did, his entire fortune would vanish. He would have to choose his timing carefully.

Jia Gui, equipped with more than ten pieces of defensive equipment, was now a tank assassin. He had high defense, HP, power, and speed. On paper, he appeared well-rounded. In practice, his incompetence voided most of those advantages. Han Wu placed no expectations on him beyond one simple requirement: do not ruin the plan.

As for Han Wu, he was a dual-blade warrior. One blade dealt with mobs, and the other targeted powerful foes.

After confirming everyone’s roles, Han Wu examined the crystal’s summoned locusts. In just ten minutes, he had accrued over 60,000 locusts. It was a staggering number, but their levels were too low. Even after the Origin of Mutation mutated them to Level 4, they could barely achieve anything.

Han Wu knew it was time for him to step up. He stood in the fountain, and with it constantly regenerating his energy, he used Merge incessantly.

The locusts merged in rapid succession. Their levels climbed steadily until Han Wu merged all the locusts into five Level 55 Heavenrender mutated locusts. This was the limit his current energy could sustain. Even so, the result shocked both his teammates and the viewers.

“Is that something I can watch for free? That’s ridiculous!”

“What kind of power is that? I need to know it now. Please don’t make me beg for the name.”

“He could create powerful units with that power. That’s horrifying.”

Among the viewers was Huang Shengjun, the student expelled by both Imperial College and the War faction. After witnessing Han Wu’s feat, he smiled bitterly. “So I lost for a good reason.”

Han Wu was unaware of the uproar, but he knew the truth. Merge wasn’t overpowered. When merging inanimate items, the process was relatively simple. He could even merge incompatible objects, though the outcome was unpredictable.

Life forms were different. The only reason he could merge so many locusts was that they weren’t true living beings. They possessed no souls, no memories, only a primitive instinct to attack. That absence made their fusion possible.

Had they been real creatures, the process would not have been so simple. Merging genuine life forms, especially powerful ones, consumed enormous amounts of energy. Han Wu could do that right now. Moreover, merging two different life forms meant intertwining their memories as well.

If not for those limitations, Han Wu would have dominated the entire Divine Civilization rather than standing there to compete with the Divine River Civilization in a match. Naturally, those who didn’t know thought Han Wu was literally defying fate itself with such power.

Oracle had watched the events unfold in Han Wu’s plaza and was shaken to his core. He had never witnessed such a power before.

His companions felt the same tension. Torrent was worried. Based on the crystals’ summoning speed, Han Wu could create a Level 55 Heavenrender locust in two minutes. Their team could deal with five Heavenrender locusts, but defeat would be inevitable if the number reached ten, or worse, twenty.

“Time to activate Plan C,” Torrent said solemnly.

The other four frowned. They were elites of the Divine River Civilization and the hope of their people. They had fought thousands of such matches and claimed victory every time through improbable feats.

This battle was different. The Divine River Civilization had given the order to kill the Origin of Mutation at any cost. The leadership had dispatched the five of them together and even prepared four contingency plans.

Plan B required Selene and Carnage to cooperate and swiftly boost Carnage’s level. By contrast, Plan C amounted to outright cheating. Once used, even if they ultimately won, it would leave no sense of honor behind.

Unfortunately, the truth was stark: they likely couldn’t win fair and square. If they stood by and did nothing, the Divine Civilization’s team would assemble a massive army of Heavenrender locusts. A defeat under those circumstances would set the Origin of Mutation free and leave the Divine River Civilization under its terror forever.

Warmaster broke the silence. “For the sake of the Divine River Civilization, I agree to use it.”

Only now did he grasp the true strength of his opponent. Even though they seemed like a ragtag force at first glance, they were surprisingly strong. To claim victory, they needed to use underhanded tactics.

“I agree as well.” Oracle’s voice carried a trace of bitterness. During the two minutes they had hesitated, Han Wu had obtained another Level 55 locust. The only reason Han Wu didn’t dispatch his army was that he wanted to gather enough to deal a decisive blow.

Oracle’s assessment was accurate.

Carnage thought about it and abstained. “I just want to kill. Do what you need.”

All eyes turned to Selene, the core of Plan C. Without her consent, it could not proceed.

Selene looked at them and sighed. “Is there even a need for me to vote when three of you have already agreed? Since we’ve decided, help me prepare the summoning array. Quickly.”

They nodded and moved at once, gathering the materials she required.

Meanwhile, the Divine Civilization’s referee studied the array Selene was inscribing. They examined the array, researched its pattern, and concluded that it was a transportation array.

“That’s a transportation array connected to a permanent coordinate. What is she trying to summon?” the referee mumbled.

Under the tense scrutiny of the crowd, the array flared to life. Selene used her power once more to summon 1,000 units, and their figures materialized within the summoning array. This time, she hadn’t summoned the weak goblins. Instead, she brought forth 1,000 fully armed Super Genesoldiers!

The delegates and referee of the Divine Civilization turned to their counterparts from the Divine River Civilization. “What is the meaning of this?”

“What?” the head delegate of the Divine River Civilization replied, his expression perfectly composed. “She summoned 1,000 cloned Super Genesoldiers. What’s wrong with that?”

As their leader, he understood the strategy from the beginning. Plan C called for the summoning of the Super Genesoldiers!
