Chapter 355: Bug Invasion_2
Visible faint shadows loomed in the sky as the Blood Sea churned and the Alien Isles crumbled. The remaining Lizardmen of the Skull Tribe, faced with a scenario akin to a natural disaster, could only flee in madness.
Xi Kui was devoured by the Purgatory Furnace, his form continuously vanishing, leaving only a Lizardman's skull and soul. His authority was continuously stripped by the Molten Gold Titan, who gradually forged it upon himself.
Within the Blood Sea Space, the Alien Isles gradually fractured and were enveloped by blazing flames, slowly melting into magma.
The Blood Sea continued to churn relentlessly, but it couldn't hinder the Molten Gold Titan's plunder of authority.
Sporadic battles still continued. The Tree Domain Troops and the Southwest Military Preparedness Force's troops were still entangled in killing the remaining Alien Race on the battlefield.
Their numbers were still vast, but everyone already knew that there was no suspense left in the battle.
The apocalyptic battles among the Great Demons had long since determined the direction of this war, the victor being only one – the Tree Domain, humanity.
Buzz
The Star Torch Tree emitted a slight vibration, then the amplitude of the vibrations grew larger and larger. Purple light burst forth, enveloping everything on the battlefield, with energy intensity climbing and the aura growing increasingly powerful.
Su Han slightly closed his eyes to sense and then revealed a smile.
Fenglu Base, East Sea Base, Mo City Base, Kakta Base, Lingzhou Base...
As time passed, several armed forces bases successively completed their charging of the Star Torch, climbing in energy levels, connecting all bases through the Star Torch into a vast network.
Communications were no longer hindered, and even without psychics, communication could be achieved through the Star Torch.
Energy interconnected, although not completely, it was sufficient enough for mutual support, forming a vast aid.
The current situation was actually Li Wenyuan, Deng Guanshan, Liu Rulong... They had provided support to Su Han immediately upon the completion of forging the Star Torch Tree.
"Converge the brilliance of the Star Torch, suppression is complete."
Su Han sent the message. The Star Torch in the sky quickly dimmed, and under his control, gradually dissipated into nothingness.
Ningshou City originally had no Star Torch Tree, its manifestation here was merely a method employed by Su Han as Master of the Star Torch and through the Eye of the Queen of Insect Tans.
Now that the suppression was successful, it naturally need not be kept.
[Detected Fifth-order Lizardman Great Demon available for Fusion. Proceed to Fusion?]
[Detected Fifth-order Void Giant Insect available for Fusion. Proceed to Fusion?]
...
The ruins of Ningshou City, as the main battlefield for Su Han and the Great Demon, were in a state of utter destruction, with most of the alien space rifts that descended, excluding a few of the Great Demons' Blood Sea Spaces, now battered and closed up.
The entire city was starkly silent, paradoxically making it the area with the fewest monsters.
Su Han opened the space rift where the Blood Sea Ancestral Tree was located and then released several ancestral beasts and a multitude of descendants to kill towards the surrounding battlefield, starting to slaughter the remaining Lizardmen.
Meanwhile, he personally began to control the four Angel Envoys to start the Fusion of the several Fifth-order Great Demons that had been defeated.
However, lying before Su Han was another issue, whether to forge a Contract with a fifth Angel Envoy.
From a strength perspective, being a Fifth-order Great Demon, there was no doubt about its qualification to become his fifth Angel Envoy.
If it were a common Contractor, they would undoubtedly forge the Contract now to enhance their own strength.
But he was different.
His strength was even more formidable; all four Angel Envoys had already undergone Demon Promotion, advancing into Great Demons of the Blood Sea Space.
Compared to others, Su Han had more than enough confidence to choose his fifth Angel Envoy, thus complementing his overall strength, rather than blindly enhancing it.
The two types of monsters currently before him, one being the three Lizardman Great Demons from the Lizardmen Clan, included the Lizard Priest and the Lizard Commander.
Although there seemed to be quite a few, and their abilities focused in different directions, they were fundamentally just from the Lizardmen Clan.
They didn't have any particularly surprising capabilities in terms of special powers.
Whether it was combat techniques or various curse techniques, essentially they were merely skills involving the use of spiritual energy, not racial talents.
From this perspective, except for their general physical quality and strength where the Lizardmen might innately surpass humans, they did not exhibit anything particularly special, and in terms of talents, they might even be inferior to humans.
It is known, setting aside the Book of Blood Spirit, that humans could evolve spiritual power talents on their own.
Although not everyone would be exceptionally gifted, there were still those with extremely high talent ceilings.
If Su Han were to make a Fifth-order Great Demon of the Lizardmen race his Angel Envoy, he would likely possess a Fifth Order combat power combatant but not many special abilities, requiring more cultivation.
Fifth Order combat power might be extremely precious to others but not necessarily to Su Han.
At least in terms of rank advancement, Su Han's unique Fusion Talent completely allowed Fourth Order monsters to steadily advance to Fifth Order without encountering any insurmountable bottlenecks.
Therefore, the Lizardman Great Demon was not the optimal choice for Su Han.
Another option was the Abyssal Insect Race.
This time, the orchestrators of the Zerg onslaught were two Fifth-order Great Demons, the Void Giant Insects.
Though they were swiftly dispatched by Su Han, it didn't mean they were weak.
The two Void Giant Insects not only possessed Fifth Order strength but also a considerably powerful spatial talent that could disrupt space.
In terms of talent and overall racial individual quality, they were superior to the Lizardmen.
Fusing with a Void Giant Insect seemed like a good choice, at least in terms of individual strength.
However, Su Han was still hesitant because from the perspective of the insect race, he already had the Queen of Insect Tans, a high-level powerful mother insect capable of constructing a new insect race system.
Hence, from the composition of his Angel Envoys, contracting a Void Giant Insect could lead to duplication of roles.
While the Queen of Insect Tans might not be able to breed a Fifth Order Void Giant Insect in the short term, sufficiently devouring and absorbing the genes and spiritual factors of the Void Giant Insect should easily allow the cultivation of lower-tier insects.
The Void Giant Insect was not essential for Su Han, at least not a high priority.
"It's still not quite fitting, it seems I need to put the matter of the fifth Angel Envoy on hold for now."
Su Han pondered for a while, then decided to temporarily set aside the issue; indeed, the fifth Angel Envoy should not be rushed.
Besides, he was not devoid of other opportunities, as six Armed Forces bases had established connections through the Star Torch Tree, building a Spiritual Network.
They were no longer isolated entities. The Star Torch, like a beacon, was sufficient to support their mutual contact, even traversing through the fog to achieve substantive connectivity.
Each Armed Forces base was surrounded by different races with diverse talents; he could completely find a way to hunt those races' monsters to serve as his fifth Angel Envoy.
'Steal authority, usurp and become a god?'
Somehow, this thought suddenly emerged in Su Han's mind.
His gaze involuntarily shifted towards the Queen of Insect Tans, his expression subtly changing.
Liu Rulong and others wanted to use the fusion of Sea Beast Genes to create stronger human individuals, perfecting their gene modification.
Perhaps Su Han wasn't so concerned about gene modification, but this plan inspired some ideas in him.
He already possessed the ability to fuse; what if, instead of through gene modification, he directly contracted, fused, and controlled a not weak racial individual, achieving continuous Evolution?
Take his Queen of Insect Tans for example, constantly advancing from an Abyssal Insect Race's mother worm, now evolving into a new individual, nurturing a new insect race system.
What if the Queen of Insect Tans continued to consume solely insects, devoured the insect race, constantly metamorphosing, could she take over all the 'inheritance' of the Abyssal Insect Race and become a new Insect God?
A thought kindled in his mind like a flame, suggesting the Queen of Insect Tans could devour the Abyssal Insect Race. Could his other Angel Envoys also consume just one path, continuously achieve Metamorphosis, plunder an entire race's resources and systems, and become their 'god'?
Although he had yet to genuinely witness how powerful the Lizard God or Insect God were, they should be infinitely stronger compared to beings like the Great Demons.
The path to becoming a god seemed to offer him a subtle shortcut.
With a thought, he made up his mind, the Queen of Insect Tans to fuse with the insect race, and then all three Lizardmen were given to the Blood Prison Dragon to fuse.
