The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 211 - 124 [Eternal Garden] (3k)

"Oh? It’s already complete?"

Bai Sheng woke up aboard the ship to the fresh sunshine of early morning and received a message from Bai Yi through the Swarm Network from last night.

In the center of the captain’s cabin, overlapping flat glass vessels made from reinforced glass now sat atop the desk fixed to the floor.

In the morning sunshine, the glass vessels, which had undergone improvements to become transparent, quietly held clumps of pure black Blood Flesh, motionless, yet Bai Sheng had no doubt about their strength.

Having witnessed the wars on land for so long, she had seen firsthand how these things turned the earth pitch black and claimed it as territory solely for the Swarm.

The faint Spiritual Link in her mind also confirmed that what was inside these glass vessels was the Fungus Blanket her master had researched the day before.

"No need for boxes or ropes to secure them...

What if they get overturned by the waves? I don’t want to wake up to find the ship covered in Fungus Blanket..."

Though Bai Sheng said this, she knew that these Fungus Blankets were under her master’s control, just as the Swarm was absolutely controlled.

Even if they were indeed knocked over, they would not proliferate indiscriminately like their original form, the Endless Moss; they would remain like actual inanimate objects until given new orders.

"Are we going to scatter them into the sea and pair them with Magic Power Crystals to let them grow on their own?"

Bai Sheng knew how to handle these Fungus Blankets from the information left on the network and arranged for nearby offspring through the network to carry the Fungus Blankets deep into the sea and set several release areas.

After arranging everything, Bai Sheng then began to understand the new abilities of the Fungus Blanket from the information.

This was, after all, an important logistics unit that would accompany her in future battles; it was necessary to have an understanding of the strength she could wield in the future.

"The Fungus Blanket will actively spread on the seafloor, mainly drawing on Magic Power to sustain itself, growing tentacle structures like seaweed in areas of the deep sea where sunlight is scarce.

These tentacles have the ability to catch food and will grow large tentacles at certain intervals that can reach the surface, maintaining the communication ability of the Swarm Network.

Moreover, the large tentacles have the capacity to spread, capable of growing large structures...

I remember the Master seemed to have some fungal architecture, maybe they could be constructed in the sea..."

Bai Sheng almost immediately thought of how to use this ability; although currently in her territory, Sea Son was the only underwater unit, its special nature and the various branches it possessed meant it could count as a civilization.

It was perfect for constructing underwater cities, serving as the main base for Sea Son.

Other structures such as Shiyu Tower and Biological Nest could also share the construction progress above ground and be quickly erected.

"It’s just that the Master, while cultivating us witches, passed through the Swarm Consciousness, so these Sea Sons will not be integrated into a few group consciousnesses like the Swarm; each Sea Son offspring has its own independent will.

They are our brothers and sisters, and of course, we can’t treat them poorly.

After the Fungus Blanket grows, we can also try to see if we can use these giant tentacles from the seabed Fungus Blanket as a foundation to build the Giant Tree City."

Bai Sheng suddenly had an idea and added commands to the network right away; more offspring were sent to carry Magic Power Crystals, supporting the offspring planted below the fleet, to first cultivate a large enough Fungus Blanket for testing.

Even though the offspring wouldn’t feel discontent due to the guaranteed connection of the Swarm Network, Bai Sheng still felt that since they had their own consciousnesses, the offspring were indeed brothers and sisters to the witches.

Even the Swarm built their own Insect Nests to live in; it wasn’t right for the offspring to "live rough" at sea.

Moreover, constructing a special Giant Tree City with Fungus Blankets was not difficult; the only issue was whether the Fungus Blanket’s giant tentacles could be considered as a "giant tree."

If successful, they could be massively rolled out in the future, even establishing an underwater civilization for the offspring.

Truly building a comprehensive city that encompasses the sea surface, underwater, underground, ground, and sky.

She had heard about the various new blueprints her master within the territory was supervising.

Among them, the blueprint of the ship island was also included in her jurisdiction, with some engineering teams assigned to construct at sea, so she was fairly knowledgeable about it and understood her master’s future plans.

The central area of the territory was naturally dominated by the Giant Tree City, also serving as the "Capital" for the territory’s future ground city; the underground would be the kingdom of the Swarm and Fungus Blanket.

As for the supplementary living areas of the territory and other occupied living areas, they were handled by those Magic Floating Islands, serving as cities in the sky, and could also function as fortresses for the witches to embark on conquests in the future.

As for the sea, that was the ship island currently under construction.

However, she felt that, given the current pace, the ship island inside the Cycle Challenge instance might be completed by the time the trial ended and successfully launched, while the ones here might not have been finished yet.

With the territory’s technological level barely reaching steam standards, constructing such a technological product was still challenging.

This was the case even with the help of Yin Hai, but hampered by industrial limitations, progress was slow.

After all, one cannot expect to knock out high-precision machinery like electronic chips based on the foundation of the first industrial revolution using steam engines.

The ultimate underwater realm, of course, will be completed by her idea, complemented by the underwater city of her progeny.

"By then, we can also build a shrine for the master in the underwater realm for the progeny; that’s the real point!

Alas, if it weren’t for the lack of space on the ship, I would have liked to build one on board first, but now we can only wait until the ship island becomes a reality."

As progeny with self-awareness, they can equally serve as believers.

It’s just that the reproduction rate of progeny isn’t as terrifying as that of the Insect Swarm, and due to the racial traits of the Sea Son, there are greater casualties.

Recently, they have been harassing the captains in sector 28 with minimal intensity, striving to develop various resistances and evolve new branches for the progeny.

Thus, their numbers have not increased, stuck at less than twenty thousand, which is only about one-third of the current Insect Swarm, falling short of the promotion requirements for Bai Yi.

However, following the current momentum, that time is not far off!

Bai Sheng fantasizes about a future world where everyone praises her master, her determination swelling in her heart.

"The efficiency of Magic Power absorption by the Fungus Blanket has greatly increased, and gathering into plants has given it stronger physical strength.

Hmm, perhaps we can test to see if it can repair ships in emergency situations, assess to what extent it can be done—this might serve a crucial role in key moments.

Paralysis Spore Fog can parasite, this needs to be briefly controlled; otherwise, if the Fungus Blanket accidentally kills those captains, the progeny will lose their chance to grow.

But this could be combined with giant tendrils, transforming them into hidden underwater landmines that explode upon encountering a target, dispersing spores.

Even if it doesn’t paralyze the sailors on the ship, it can adhere to the ship, biding its time to consume it.

Fortunately, its Corrosion ability has also been enhanced, providing sufficient destructive power to ships.

The master also mentioned that the Spore Fog Canister could be equipped, though it would require some modifications..."

Bai Sheng quickly organizes the information about the Fungus Blanket sent by Bai Yi and, based on her understanding, considers several applications.

Without waiting for Bai Sheng to issue commands, the witches on the ship have already been notified and began testing according to Bai Sheng’s intentions to verify feasibility.

"The lords of area 28 are few and far between, the strongest lord fled, and the rest of the little captains are of no consequence, it’ll take no more than three days to completely annihilate them.

Heh, if it weren’t for training the progeny, allowing the Sea Son to accumulate genes and evolve, limiting a ship to be handled by only one Sea Son and prohibiting the use of more than two hundred progeny, those captains would have been eradicated long ago.

Even so, those captains won’t last long, and it’s time to consider the next area.

The last time I asked the master, she said to keep pushing into the sea, and I remember she also requested to reserve a marine farm for her?

The master likes the produce from the sea? It seems that last time the progeny received the master’s instruction and brought back a batch of marine products.

That indeed requires considerable consideration; the conquest of the next area must control the propagation of the Fungus Blanket to avoid blowing up the ecology.

Hmm... perhaps we should start a fishing squad?"

For Bai Yi’s requests, Bai Sheng always prioritizes them, even if they seem frivolous.

But they, the witches, as well as the Insect Swarm and the Sea Son, exist solely to fulfill the master’s wishes.

Developing the territory is part of it, as is meeting the master’s reasonable or unreasonable demands.

Moreover, whether it is the witches or the Sea Son, they will all be very happy to please the master.

As she was about to arrange this, she suddenly felt activity on her panel.

"Doesn’t seem like a breakthrough in the territory; did some other change occur in the territory?"

Not only Bai Sheng, but also Bai Yi, who is within the territory and was awakened by the panel, feels the change more distinctly.

The breath of Life within the territory suddenly became much richer, and although the Magic Power environment in the territory was not perceived as more intense due to the already high Magic Power Concentration, it still had a revitalizing effect.

In one fell swoop, Bai Yi felt like on a cold winter morning being woken by an alarm clock and having a blast of cold air come through an opened window, leaving her refreshed and alert.

Bai Yi opens her territory panel, and without searching, she sees the panel notification that popped up in front of her.

[Due to special architectural blueprint modifications, your territory has undergone certain changes, your territory’s name has been altered, current territory: Eternal Garden]

On the fourth day of the Cycle Challenge, before today’s investment permissions were released, the eagerly awaited territory renovation was finally officially completed!

...

Ming Disaster: Also known as the Calamity of Profound Darkness, it spreads from the sea, proliferates rapidly, and actively preys on Mutant Creatures. With powerful Life Force, it is difficult to eliminate and turns the affected areas into the Forest of Profound Darkness; the sea’s surface becomes a biological forbidden zone, with only a few special lifeforms (progeny) able to survive in it...
