1790 Liu Jie’s Light!
The Emperor Core of All Insects’ blessing mainly targeted the Insect Queen’s procreative ability.
The Insect Queen depended on producing insect-species lifeforms to fight. The more insect-species lifeforms it produced, the stronger its combat ability would be.
The production of just one additional insect-species lifeform would allow the number of combinations of the insect tide to change exponentially.
Moreover, the transformation of the Insect Queen’s procreative ability would not only allow the Insect Queen to produce more insects but also faster. It would be able to produce numerous insects in a short span of time.
The Insect Queen was still asleep. Hence, Liu Jie could not summon the Insect Queen to ask it to produce insects to demonstrate how much faster it could now produce insects.
But given Liu Jie’s sensing, he estimated that the Insect Queen could not produce insects at least 1.5 times faster than before. This meant that in the time that would take the Insect Queen to produce two insect-species lifeforms in the past, it would now be able to produce three insect-species lifeforms.
This change would allow Liu Jie’s insect tide to take shape faster. It would also enable Liu Jie to fight using another method besides only terrestrial formations.
However, these were not enough for Liu Jie to consider the blessing to be comparable to the benefits that came from the mutation enabled by the Blade Queen Bee’s venom.
The mutation allowed the Insect Queen to use psychotoxin to take control of insect-species carcinoma feys as a form of special contraction.
The Insect Queen’s most recent evolution allowed Liu Jie, who had fallen through the ranks of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, to regain a position high enough for him to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Zong Ze, Gu Lang, An He, and the rest.
Liu Jie compared the Insect Queen’s recent evolution to its previous mutation because the Cocoon of Evolution was hosted within the Insect Queen’s procreative cavity.
The Cocoon of Evolution had absorbed most of the Emperor Core of All Insects’ blessing. As a result, the Cocoon of Evolution had mutated, and the five genetic pieces within it had also improved.
The Cocoon of Evolution had even set aside a portion of the energy. Clearly, it was meant for the last insect-species fey or insect-species source-type lifeform that Liu Jie had not instructed the Insect Queen to absorb yet.
The Insect Queen had not gained its Diamond abilities yet.
It was not that Liu Jie was unwilling to evolve the Insect Queen. The stronger the Insect Queen was, the more types of insect-species fey genetic pieces it would be able to store.
The Diamond ability would be the strongest out of all the Insect Queen’s abilities.
At first, Liu Jie had intended on choosing an insect-species fey that was skilled at individual combat before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection began so that the Insect Queen would be able to gain its genetic piece that would become the Insect Queen’s Diamond ability and strengthen Liu Jie’s combat power.
However, while Liu Jie and Lin Yuan were discussing the matter, Lin Yuan objected to this idea because Lin Yuan knew that Liu Jie had not yet enabled the Insect Queen to gain a Diamond ability because he had not found a suitable option yet.
The Insect Queen was the only fey that Liu Jie had. If he made any mistake when it came to the Insect Queen, he would be stuck with no escape.
Currently, the Insect Queen was already perfect.
Before Liu Jie decided what road of development he wanted to go down, it would be best for him to save the spot meant for the Diamond ability.
This battle made Liu Jie see where he was lacking.
He needed the insect tide to have the endurance to fight toe-to-toe against powerful opponents for an extended amount of time.
If his opponents had the ability to recover, the insect tide would be at a serious disadvantage.
With his one precious weapon, Han Qi would have Liu Jie fully suppressed.
Thus, when it came to the choice of the Insect Queen’s Diamond ability, Liu Jie intended to choose an ability that had not only individual combat skills but also healing effects.
With this clear new direction, Liu Jie immediately had many outstanding options to choose from.
After the blessing evolved the Cocoon of Evolution, all five of the Insect Queen’s abilities transformed.
If anyone else, even if it was Zong Ze, Gu Lang, Gao Feng, and the rest who had become Liu Jie’s friends, asked him such a question, he would not be willing to respond.
But since the question had come from Lin Yuan, Liu Jie was not about to hide anything from him.
“Lin Yuan, the Insect Queen’s combat ability has at least doubled. The blessing targeted its procreative ability. The Cocoon of Evolution within its procreative cavity evolved as a result of the blessing. All of the Insect Queen’s five abilities have also improved significantly. However, the Insect Queen is still asleep. I can’t use practical testing to see exactly how much the Insect Queen’s procreative ability has increased.”
Elation immediately spread across Lin Yuan’s face.
Lin Yuan regarded Liu Jie as no different from his brother.
It was natural that Lin Yuan would be happy that the Insect Queen had received such an outstanding blessing.
The Emperor Core of All Insects would only benefit each insect-species lifeform once. The Insect Queen would not receive such a blessing the next time it fused with the Emperor Core of All Insects.
Lin Yuan had been afraid that the one-time blessing would not be helpful.
The Insect Queen’s battle strategy revolved around summoning insect tides.
If the blessing had targeted its body, it would be useless. The Insect Queen only produced insects in battle and would not go close to enemies. As such, it was not at any risk of having its body harmed.
Fairy source-type lifeforms’ physical bodies were naturally weak.
Even if its body was evolved, it would not be as strong as the bodies of power offense-type feys.
Additionally, the Insect Queen was always hidden within the insect tide and could be protected by the layers of insects. The insect-species carcinoma feys would also protect it.
If the enemy broke through the ranks of insects protecting the Insect Queen, it would be killed regardless of how strong its body was.
“Congratulations, Big Brother Liu!”
When he saw the genuine smile lighting up Lin Yuan’s face, Liu Jie felt as though a sun had just risen.
Every time he evolved, it was because of Lin Yuan’s help. If not for Lin Yuan, Liu Jie did not think that he would ever be able to transform his power.
If Lin Yuan had not awakened while fighting the Disaster World Faceless Beast, the Freedom Federation would have ended up victorious.
Liu Jie would have lost all power and become a weakling because the Insect Queen would have completely lost its procreative ability and vitality.
Liu Jie would always see Lin Yuan as his savior. He was willing to give up his body as a shield or sword to protect this light.
