The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen Chapter 260: 171 Faith Battery

Chapter 260: Chapter 171 Faith Battery

Eternal Life City, Spell Research Institute

Since the demand for spells within the territory gradually increased, the Spell Research Institute has undergone several expansions in the short ti since its establishnt.

Due to frequent collaboration with other research institutes or overlapping research directions, these institutes have beco interconnected and indistinguishable from each other during the expansion process.

Instead, laboratories are distinguished more by function and utilized via registration.

Along with the chanical Research Institute, Rune Research Institute and others, these institutes now collectively occupy an area exceeding the size of four giant trees.

They are significantly larger than the church and library, which are still under construction in Eternal Life City.

Especially recently, due to Bai Yi’s will, nurous witches who have not joined the institutes are also renting laboratories for spell research.

This place has rapidly beco as bustling as a comrcial street.

However, unlike a comrcial district, the witches here are mindful of their volu to avoid disturbing other witches’ experints.

There is human traffic comparable to a comrcial street, but it is not noisy.

At the top of the research institute, there are a few treehouses that have been isolated and no other witches are allowed near.

These are the exclusive laboratories set up for the research of the Power of Faith.

As a key research project personally endorsed by Bai Yi, this place can be said to harness all the strengths of the territory to et all possible needs.

Bai Fa did not disappoint Bai Yi’s expectations.

After several days of effort, Bai Fa has already achieved preliminary results.

“Huang Shou, how is it? Can extraction be conducted smoothly?”

Inside one of the laboratories, Bai Fa nervously stared at the white-haired witch in front of him. Although he knew he shouldn’t disturb her at this mont, he couldn’t resist the impulse to ask.

The said witch is derived from a soul slice cut from the King of Ten Thousand Beasts; after working together for a while, she adopted her own given na, Huang Shou, for convenience.

As the only witch in the territory currently capable of directly controlling the Power of Faith, she is indispensable in the research of the Power of Faith.

Although utilizing Lord Talent rather than superpower, this does not affect its use and testing.

She reached out, grabbed a tal column engraved with runes from the desk, ignored Bai Fa’s inquiry and after a prolonged silence with eyes closed, she finally nodded and confird:

“Extraction can be conducted smoothly, but so of the Power of Faith is being lost, about 2% per hour.

Also, due to the storage of the Power of Faith, so runes have started to lt, mainly here and here.”

Huang Shou pointed to two areas on the tal column and looked towards Bai Gong.

This tal column is a container specifically crafted for the Power of Faith, the principle of which was refined by Bai Fa, while its body was specifically handled by Bai Gong.

As the creator of the tal column, Bai Gong was intimately familiar with it.

After a brief recall, Bai Gong understood the situation:

“The first spot should be the restriction device used to limit the Power of Faith, and the other spot is the Output Magic Array, which is the transmission channel you use to extract the Power of Faith.”

After identifying the problems and confirming that disassembling would not trigger any chain reactions,

Bai Gong proceeded without hesitation, swiftly dismantling the tal column into its shell and internal rune blocks, isolating the problematic rune structures.

“It seems that we must add more restriction runes, though this is probably also due to the ordinary Magic Power we use with the restricting Arrays.

After all, attempting to restrict the higher quality Power of Faith rely with Magic Power is impractical…

Trying to restrain the Power of Faith with Magic Power is counterproductive and the loss of Power of Faith is unavoidable.

It might be better to adopt the idea of the Magic Power Battery, using the stored Power of Faith to supply the restricting array to limit itself.

Though there will be consumption, it is less severe than the loss caused by stimulating restriction runes with Magic Power…

Let’s modify it like this first, and for the output part, for now, let’s try doubling the number of runes!”

Observing from the side, Bai Fa quickly made a judgnt and imdiately provided instructions.

Now knowing the direction for improvents, Bai Gong selected the parts to be modified, tossed them into a nearby furnace, and took out two new Rune Cores to begin carving.

To ensure the speedy execution of experints, the research institute had long designed a standardized process for rune experintation.

Researchers do not need to start from scratch to create runes; rather, through the factory below, they mass produce standardized rune plates and rune cores using Magic Power Crystal powder combined with tal.

Researchers only need to pick up these standard parts, carve runes into them, and assemble them using identically standard casings.

With the most ti-consuming manufacturing part eliminated, the speed of research can be significantly accelerated, quickly turning researchers’ ideas into prototype devices.

For Bai Gong, carving runes was naturally effortless. In just over five minutes, the new runes were carved, and a new tal column was reassembled.

Huang Shou skillfully took the tal column and, swishing her cat tail, teleported away. She soon returned, bringing back the tal column recharged with the Power of Faith.

She had just visited the nearby Flourishing Church; although she can control the Power of Faith, she does not produce it herself.

All the Beast God’s faiths converge to her original form; as a soul slice, she does not have the ability to intercept these faiths.

After all, neither her authority level nor distance gives her any advantage. To replenish the Power of Faith, her only choice is to visit Bai Yi’s church.

A small-scale collective prayer by the witches nearby the church is all it takes to easily fill it up – it’s very convenient.

After the improvents, the tal column yielded significantly better results than before. Huang Shou felt it again in detail, and the main issue from earlier was no longer present.

The loss of the Power of Faith had completely disappeared. Although maintaining the restriction runes incurs so consumption, it has reached an acceptable range.

It only consus 0.1% of the Power of Faith daily, thus nearly three-quarters would still be retained after a year.

Moreover, due to the special nature of the runes, expanding this storage capacity further decreases the consumption per unit of Power of Faith stored!

“Although there are still so issues with output, the situation is now clear, and these can be resolved by adding so buffer runes to the energy output port.

I will design a new Array, and it should be completed within today.

But as for the storage structure, it’s completely done and ready to be used…”

Dismantling the new tal column, Bai Fa was able to determine the results of the experint and breathed a sigh of relief.

From transferring the runes from the upgraded church blueprint for little tests, to summarizing so basic Arrays that could be utilized, to the tal columns they now held in their hands.

For such a small Faith Battery, it took them several days.

Now that they finally had results, even Bai Fa could not hide her excitent and imdiately started arranging the next tasks.

“Bai Gong, I leave the crafting of the prototype and its amplification to you. I’ll send you the Array designs through the network once I finish.

The conversion and storage of Faith are complete; the only remaining task is the modification of the output end…

Well, everyone has been working hard, and it’s almost lunchti; how about I treat everyone to a al?”

“Sure, I’ve been here in the territory for so long, always in the lab, and haven’t even been to the Comrce Street yet!”

Bai Fa’s suggestion received Huang Shou’s approval. As a core figure in the research of Power of Faith, he has been engrossed in the institutes since being captured by Bai Yi, never leaving.

He was gradually influenced by the thinking of the witches over this period and was deeply intrigued by life within Eternal Life City.

For witches, the most important thing is to enact Bai Yi’s will, but their individual inclinations often differ due to their free will.

Although most witches like to go out and fight, there are a few with other interests occupying more of their ti.

Even the most research-oriented witch has a lively and active heart, similar to that of a cat.

Bai Gong, also a witch, was no exception.

Normally, lunch breaks are supposed to be restful, but because of the relentless experints prioritized by Bai Yi, there was hardly any real rest, all spent on overti.

But now that the most challenging first step of the experint was out of the way and initial results obtained, taking a break for relaxation during lunchti seed perfectly reasonable.

After just a brief consideration, Bai Gong agreed.

“Sounds great, I rember a new human restaurant opened recently?

It seems quite popular online, why not check it out?”

Bai Fa recalled, quickly finding the relevant information on the network.

After all, the human who started the restaurant was one of her students along with a few witches, all having learned under her.

Although she was soon assigned here to research the Power of Faith, she still had so mories of him.

“That’s the one. It’s opened by a human nad Hong Chao.

He seems to be the son of Councilman Hong from the Lower City District, allowed to study spells with the witches to earn so living expenses by starting the restaurant with a few fellow witch students.

Apparently, all the dishes are his own creations, and the online reviews are quite good too.

But then again, I thought Bai Gong, you’d only be focused on working with runes, I didn’t realize you were also surfing online sneakily!”

“Bu… but you know, waiting for experint results takes ti!

Anyway, doing nothing is still doing nothing, I don’t believe you guys didn’t surf while carving!”

Bai Gong blushed slightly and defended himself.

As Bai Gong ntioned, this is also what most witches would choose to do during fragntary but idle tis.

Therefore, Bai Fa teased him but ant no reproach.

The few of them tidied up the lab, compiled the experintal results, and submitted the report to their lord, then left the institute together, heading straight for the chosen restaurant.

Faith Battery: A container for storing the Power of Faith, also a flagship product of the Beast Mother Faith Co., Ltd. Depending on the concentration and purity of the stored Power of Faith, there’s a significant difference in price. However, instead of its storage function, God Hunters prefer to modify it into a Faith Bomb to use as a type of weapon specifically against deities…
