Chapter 1642 1643: Controlling the Insect Nest
Instil felt helpless in his heart. He thought he could easily deal with Ma Su's soul attack, but he didn't expect her power to be so powerful. If his soul body were not powerful enough, he would have been torn into pieces by Masuo's attack.
However, this battle made Insteel feel increasingly uncomfortable. Masuo's attacks became more and more fierce, and every collision made his soul body tremble. He began to doubt whether he could withstand Masuo's attack and whether he could turn the tide of the battle.
If this continues, Instil is likely to be defeated by Malsu's attack. He must find a way to turn the tide of the war, otherwise his plans of conquest will be suspended.
Insteel began to recall his past and think about the challenges and difficulties he had faced. He remembered how he had used wisdom and strategy to win when facing powerful enemies. He began to look for Malthus' weaknesses, looking for a way to defeat her.
In the end, Instil's soul was defeated by Malthus. His soul was shattered under the attack of Maltium, and he could only watch helplessly as his soul was devoured by her.
The soul that Ma Sulfur cultivated with the help of the Desire Cube is far more powerful than normal people. Her soul power is strong and stable. Although Instil's soul has also been tempered, there is still a certain gap compared with Masuo. Coupled with the assistance of the Desire Cube, Ma Sulfur's power is even more powerful.
Masuo, who regained control, froze on the spot for a moment, looking blankly at his body. She saw the familiar appearance, the face that had not changed in the darkness, but her body had undergone earth-shaking mutations.
Her skin became smoother, and the seemingly cold surface revealed a strange sheen, as if it had been coated with a layer of silver frost by the cold moonlight. Behind her, four pairs of insect wings broke out of her body. They swayed gently in the air, and each wave brought up a gust of wind. Her figure also became more slender, like a stretched puppet, which contained a strange tension.
Her eyes shone with complex emotions, a mixture of pain, fear, and anger. She knew that none of this was a natural change, but was caused by Steele's manipulations in order to control her body. That hateful Insect King imposed his will on her, using her body as a pawn to undergo cruel transformations.
Masuo's hands were clenched into fists, and his sharp nails pierced his skin, bleeding. She felt pain inside and outside her body, and every cell was calling for change, calling for a return to her original appearance. However, she knew that this was a long process that required time and patience, as well as firm will and belief.
Still, Masuo didn't give up. She took a deep breath to temporarily suppress the fear and pain in her heart. She began to try to adapt to this new body and master this new power. She knew that only she could save herself, and only she could end this nightmare.
Looking at the insect nest that had begun to take shape, Masuo frowned slightly. She tried to control the hive, but found that it was much easier than she expected. The insect nest seemed to be waiting for her instructions, adjusting and changing exactly according to her wishes.
Originally, Malthus wanted to destroy the insect nest because she didn't want Instil's plan to succeed. But when she discovered that she could easily control the insect nest, she suddenly thought of something.
"Since I can control the insect nest, does that mean that these insects obey my orders?" Ma Li's mind changed rapidly. She began to try to adjust the evolutionary path of the Zerg, changing from the carnivorous Zerg at the beginning to the herbivorous Zerg. To her surprise, the process was almost effortless.
She only needed to slightly adjust the evolutionary program inside the nest, and the originally ferocious carnivorous bugs began to gradually transform into docile herbivorous bugs. This process surprised Masuo and gave her a new idea.
"If I can control these Zerg, then I can use it to help the human race." Ma Su thought in his mind. She began to think about how to use these zerg to help the Merox Empire, and as she thought, a brand new plan began to form in her mind.
For the insect colony to continue to develop, agricultural development is essential. Due to the decision to re-evolve the Zerg into the herbivorous Zerg, the original units have completely lost their role and need to be redesigned and cultivated.
There are only three thousand workers and dozens of springtails around the nest now. These springtails are carnivorous insects and require at least two pounds of meat every day to meet their survival needs. Therefore, these springtails must be cleared out and qualified new recruits must be bred again. As for the five hundred insect men, dealing with them is much easier.
Insect-men are essentially humans and are omnivorous creatures. Only during battle will they show some of their characteristics. Under normal circumstances, they are no different from humans. This is also the key to Instil's hiding of the insect nest.
Who would have thought that there is an insect nest hidden under this peaceful village on the outskirts of the main city.
Masuo began to plan for agricultural development. She knew that only through agricultural development could she provide sufficient food sources for the insects and ensure their survival and reproduction. She began to study the methods of growing various plants, how to cultivate, fertilize, irrigate, etc. Anyway, these things are available for immediate use. He only needs to consider the most productive crops, and there is no need to consider taste and nutrition at all.
At the same time, she also began to redesign the arms. She knew that the original carnivorous bugs could no longer adapt to the new environment and needed to breed new herbivorous bugs. She began to conduct various experiments and research on how to carry out genetic modification, how to adjust evolutionary pathways, how to improve the combat effectiveness and survivability of soldiers and insects, etc.
In the process, Masuo also encountered some difficulties and challenges. But she did not give up, but continued to study and practice. Her efforts eventually paid off and she successfully bred a new batch of soldier bugs.
The strength of the new soldier bugs is roughly equivalent to that of first- and second-level human beings. Their bodies are based on humans, but they have cicada wings on their backs and various bug heads on their heads, making them look very ferocious and terrifying.
In addition to their daily food needs, these soldier insects also need to use various ores every day to grow a thin layer of stone armor on the surface of their bodies to ensure their own defense.
The completion of a soldier type made Ma Sui slightly relieved. After cultivating thousands of humanoid soldier bugs in one go, she began to study how to restore herself to human form.
