The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen Chapter 261: 172: Power of Faith Weapon Project

Chapter 261: Chapter 172: Power of Faith Weapon Project

“The good news just keeps coming these past few days…”

Just as night fell, the experint to upgrade the witches was completed ahead of schedule, resulting in a perfect outco from the pure spore infection that wholly aligns with expectations.

Although at present, due to the rapid changes in their bodies, their souls have not yet fully adapted, and they remain in a coma, there is no doubt that the experint has been a success.

Bai Yi instructed Hatti, who was waiting outside, to take the successfully infected witch away and send her to Eternal Life City for unified care.

Then, turning her attention back to the managent of her territory, Bai Yi saw the research report on the Power of Faith submitted through the network.

“Storage…

The excess Power of Faith in those churches can now be stored, as maintaining communication alone does not use the faith of millions of witches.

Without storage structures, those churches can only waste this energy.

But then, where could the stored Power of Faith be used…”

Bai Yi realized that while she had wanted to research new ways to utilize this new energy, she hadn’t truly given much thought to its specific applications.

As Hatti was still taking the witches away, Bai Yi took this ti to ponder further.

In terms of everyday use, treating the Power of Faith as if it were electricity is simply too extravagant.

After all, in essence, its effectiveness is nearly identical to normal Magic Power, lighting up a Magic Power Lamp doesn’t beco more efficient just because it’s powered by Faith Power.

Instead, its more complex invocation makes it costlier than Magic Power.

It is faster after all to draw magic from the natural environnt.

Where Faith Power truly cos into play is in combat, such as powering Magic Weapons with it.

The battle with the Beast God’s Divine Descent already showed the inevitable advantage of Faith Power at an equal level.

Had Bai Yi not had a variety of thods and more high-priority abilities at her disposal, that Divine Descent might have been able to face off alone against the ten-or-so tier 6 Combat Power Hero Units she had.

It could even have so fighting chance against attacks from tier 7.

This is enough proof of the tactical advantage of Faith Power.

If magic weapons powered by Faith Power could be developed, it would be an excellent boost to the combat power of magic-proficient witches.

They wouldn’t be a dispensable existence like the magic weapons are now.

After all, the foundation of a magic weapon is based on a corresponding magic prototype, and if there is a magic prototype, why wouldn’t witches just cast spells directly?

They’re not like ordinary Humans; with their Magic Talent maxed out, they don’t need to consider casting Talent and won’t find it difficult to cast spells of other types due to different strengths like Humans do.

Nor are witches constrained by their own reserve of Magic Power like ordinary mages are; witches’ recovery speed and Magic Power capacity far exceed those of mages of the sa level, and they don’t have to worry about exhaustion.

The advantages of magic weapons are completely overshadowed by the Talent of witches, making them superfluous.

But now, changing the power source to Faith Power, magic weapons possess an irreplaceable strength, which is, the power!

Or rather, the advantage in a magic spell exchange!

As the current sole ans of using Faith Power, until Bai Fa figures out how to directly harness it herself, magic weapons will be irreplaceable.

Moreover, Bai Yi also thought of another thing.

“The production of Faith Power is currently unique to …

And others do not have the foundation to use weapons powered by Faith Power.

So, could I potentially sell these as arms?”

Upon careful contemplation, Bai Yi realized that this was indeed a very promising idea.

As long as she controlled the flow of Faith Power, it would never turn into a threat against her.

And if worst cos to worst, she could also sell outdated products from later iterations!

She could even give them away at half price as an investnt “fertilizer” for the Lords in the region.

After all, the core of such a weapon lies in its consumable “ammunition,” which is the real expensive part.

She’s already selling firearms cheaply; she can’t be expected to give away the bullets too, can she?

Even if she does give away a dozen rounds of ammunition, once you’re used to it and want to keep using it, you’ll still have to purchase it, right?

And the subsequent costs of ammunition and maintenance for the firearms can easily recover the resources given out.

Of course, she’s not just after those resources.

To put it bluntly, rather than swallowing up the Lords in the region, it’s better for her to conquer several more territories, or even the profits from her next dungeon run.

After all, a dungeon for her is a whole world.

Although she doesn’t currently have cross-world Teleportation capabilities, communication has already been established through the churches.

And once cross-world communication has been achieved, can cross-world Teleportation be far behind?

Once the technology is ready, she can establish Teleportation in minutes and completely fold it into her realm.

She keeps these Lords not for their sakes, but values their ability to enter the dungeon world using the panel.

Each world is a brand-new independent gene bank to her.

Even if the majority of genes are quite similar, as long as there are one or two new genes, or seemingly inconspicuous genes that can be combined into a system, she would make a killing.

It’s clear that just having a self-sufficient King of Ten Thousand Beasts system has brought about a qualitative leap in her Attribute Enhancent.

And that’s not even taking into account the research and developnt of the Power of Faith on the knowledge level.

For her, every world with its own power system is a treasury!

After all, even if her power is imnse, the worlds she can visit are limited, unlike the Lords in the region.

Since there is such a “win-win” thod, she gets the knowledge and genes she desires, while the Lords also gain tangible resources and her investnt.

As for who loses?

Unclear, unknown, anyway, she hasn’t lost.

Plus, she might be able to leverage these weapons to promote the financial plan proposed by Shang Ji.

She didn’t understand the economic theories Shang Ji ntioned, but she knew at least that it’s a beneficial strategy for her territory and would strengthen her control over the Lords in her region.

These two reasons alone were enough for Bai Yi to be willing to invest effort into this strategy.

“Hmm, based on the growth rate of the Lords now, everyone’s average Combat Power is also at tier 3, and it’s about ti to enter the instance.

It’s just that recently, because of the Battle Zone, the Lords haven’t thought of this.

After the Battle Zone ends, if the next Cycle Challenge isn’t the kind of war that requires constant attention, there should be a massive instance craze.

In that case, it’s best to launch these weapons before that…”

But there’s still a full month until the end of the Cycle Challenge, so the research on these weapons isn’t rushed.

Moreover, with her current investnts and the support of her Space Ring, Bai Yi simply suggested in the report that Bai Fa should prioritize weapons research.

She also casually proposed so weapon concepts, such as so basic single-direction shields and Magic Power Beam Guns that could cast the Fireball Technique.

Having imprinted all those ideas into the report on the network, her maid had also completed her task and hurried back.

“Your Highness, have you been waiting long? Do you wish to dine now?”

Although initially slightly unaccustod, Bai Yi was quite enjoying having a maid to manage her daily life details.

Besides the fact that this maid seed to have an unusually high number of special thoughts about her, compared to other witches, she indeed did a very good job in other respects.

Even her rather simple tree hole was well-managed, taking care of her daily attire and als, which was quite comfortable.

As for what the witches thought of her…

As the Witch Master, they did not dare to make a move against her.

And since it’s only thoughts, Bai Yi wasn’t bothered.

In fact, other races like the Insect Swarm and Sea Son also harbored different sentints towards their creator, simply varying due to racial characteristics.

For example, the Insect Swarm regarded her as the supre Queen, the Sea Son treated her like a mother, while the cats saw her as the Cat Boss…

Compared to that, the strange pink thoughts the witches had towards her didn’t seem all that surprising…

“Your Highness?”

Noticing her lord seed to have drifted into a daydream again, Hatti reminded her once more.

“Ah? Oh!

I was thinking, why don’t we not dine ‘at ho’ tonight and instead go out to a restaurant in Eternal Life City?”

Bai Yi snapped back to reality and imdiately suggested.

Although the experint was completed ahead of schedule, it was already late.

Converting the Beast King and its species into witches could be left until tomorrow, which would also provide ti for them to prepare.

With the free ti tonight, Bai Yi recalled her initial wish to visit Eternal Life City since its founding and made the suggestion on the spot.

“But, Your Highness, you…”

“I can go with an Avatar; it won’t attract attention.

And besides, I have your Spiritual Suggestion, right?”

After that, Bai Yi pulled out her Cat Witch Avatar and quickly rearranged her appearance to differentiate her from her original form.

“Alright, then it’s decided!”

Since Bai Yi held a special position among witches, even if there would be no trouble, she would certainly attract attention.

With the most important issue resolved, Hatti had no reason to continue objecting.

“Then I’ll go prepare and organize so usual witch clothing and itinerary suggestions for Your Highness…”

Given it’s Bai Yi’s wish, Hatti’s work efficiency is indeed high.

In less than ten minutes, Hatti and Bai Yi’s Avatar had arrived in Eternal Life City, appearing on a secluded floating walkway.
