Chapter 346: Chapter 310: Research Achievements and Anxiety

Within Between Time and Law, the tenfold acceleration of time allowed for deep research, but also made the external war preparations extremely urgent.

When Jeming and the other Logistics Element wizards gradually emerged from their tireless research state, more than half a month had passed outside.

The intelligence returned by the frontline reconnaissance units was increasingly urgent— the army of the Giant Spirit Realm has completed its assembly, and a new round of full-scale war could erupt at any moment.

During this accelerated period, the Logistics Element wizards lived up to expectations and produced a variety of research results.

Although, due to time constraints, many of the witchcrafts or creations appeared imprecise, with a rough sense of “functionality over form.”

But without the shackles of destructive limits, each result exuded a heart-palpitating aura of danger.

Some wizards continued traditional thinking, starting from the elemental level, and developed witchcraft specifically targeting the semi-fluid slime structure or soul core elemental composition of the Giant Spirit Realm’s natives.

Once hit, it could trigger a chain collapse from matter to energy, and even the soul.

Others targeted the Giant Spirit Realm’s reliance on machinery and developed large-scale electromagnetic pulse storms, metal fatigue curses, or logic virus witchcraft that could infiltrate energy circuits and cause overload.

More astonishingly, a peculiar biological beast was bred with an unconventional approach.

This biochemical beast appeared ordinary but had a spell model embedded within its body that twisted the mind.

Once captured by the Giant Spirit Realm’s natives and attempting symbiosis or research, it would quietly release mental pollution, leading the handlers into madness or cognitive dissonance.

Among these, one of the most eye-catching results came from Sixth Level Wizard Balsa.

Thanks to his profound understanding of the laws of sound waves and vibrations, he developed a bizarre “Resonant Collapse Wave.”

This vibration wave didn’t cause direct damage but instead stimulated the bodies of the Giant Spirit Realm’s natives at a peculiar frequency, inducing an uncontrolled “stress evolution” response.

This forced evolution would disrupt the delicate balance between the native and its symbiotic mechanical or biological limbs, causing a violent rejection reaction and self-collapse from within.

Even more terrifying is that natives who died from this spell would have their residual energy run amok under the guidance of this specific vibration frequency, spontaneously generating and spreading the same “Resonant Collapse Wave,” forming a perpetuating wave of death.

Upon its deployment, it was immediately favored by many frontline wizards for its efficiency and chain reaction characteristics.

In contrast, Jeming’s rate of producing results could be described as at a snail’s pace, almost the slowest among all wizards participating in the mission.

His research direction was somewhat similar to Balsa’s, both targeting the core “symbiosis” ability of the Giant Spirit Realm’s natives.

But Jeming’s path was more tortuous.

He initially tried to directly induce a rejection reaction, but after countless attempts, he found that the symbiosis system of the Giant Spirit Realm’s natives was extraordinarily stable due to countless years of natural evolution and active technical transformations.

Attempting to induce rejection externally was extremely difficult and inefficient.

Stuck in a dilemma, Jeming quickly found an entirely different path through reverse thinking.

“Since it can’t be made to ’repel,’ why not make it ’over-accept’?”

Through in-depth analysis, Jeming discovered that the symbiotic ability of these slime-like creatures relied on a special “pheromone enzyme” secreted by their core.

This enzyme could read the “life information” or “structural information” of contacted limbs, then guide its own cells and energy field to mimic and adapt, ultimately achieving perfect symbiosis.

Their excellent adaptability to metals also derived from the enzyme’s ability to lead cellular changes.

Jeming’s thinking became clear: if a rejection reaction couldn’t be induced, what if the core of the opponent was stimulated to uncontrollably over-secrete this “pheromone enzyme”?

In the laboratory, Jeming looked at a native of the Giant Spirit Realm, symbiotically possessing a mechanical arm and two different biological limbs, within an Imprisonment Force Field, with an excited smile for the impending success of the experiment.

The effect of the witchcraft was unexpectedly good.

Under the continuous stimulation of a specific frequency energy field (his developed witchcraft), the secretion of the pheromone enzyme in the native completely went out of control.

In the terrified and desperate gaze of this native, its body began to undergo violent and uncontrollable changes, madly mimicking the characteristics of the three different limbs it cohabited with.

The slime-like main body twisted and writhed, the metal’s rigid gray, the flesh’s crimson red, and the strange patterns of another biological limb chaotically intertwined and protruded on its body surface.

Finally, with a mental wail filled with despair and fear, this native of the Giant Spirit Realm turned into an indescribable mass of metal, chaotically mixed with two different fleshes, twisting and writhing.

When its body was completely torn apart and lost its unity by these three completely different characteristics, the long-suppressed rejection reaction finally exploded violently and chaotically!

Its death was swift and miserable.

“It’s a success…but the time it takes to achieve the effect is too slow,” Jeming calmly assessed.

From casting the spell to the target’s complete collapse and death, a considerable amount of time is needed, and during this process, the target must continuously remain within the spell’s influence range.

On the ever-changing battlefield, this is almost a fatal flaw.

Therefore, he must solve two key issues next: how to make the witchcraft take effect quickly, and how to spread it on a large scale.

Jeming turned his gaze towards the biochemical field.

The hundreds of years of accumulated knowledge from dissecting Aerial Plane organisms had given him a vast reserve of life-related knowledge.

Furthermore, the development of the Black Giant and the Patroller had made him adept at biological transformation and foreign tissue fusion technology.

Jeming first extracted a naturally symbiotic microorganism, regarded as “probiotics,” from the body of a Giant Spirit Realm native.

Then, he combined it with the genetic material of a small insect from the Aerial Plane that can repel predators with specific energy fluctuations.

Finally, he etched a highly simplified witchcraft model that could stimulate excessive secretion of pheromone enzyme into the life core of this new strain.

The transformed strain’s exterior remained the familiar “probiotic” to the Giant Spirit Realm natives, allowing it to easily evade the host’s immune recognition and settle securely.

Its inner core, however, continuously emitted modified energy fluctuations—no longer the energy fluctuations that repel predators, but incessantly releasing that deadly “excessive coexistence” stimulus signal!

Of course, because this witchcraft was extremely simplified, the effect was greatly weakened, thus further prolonging the activation time.

But that was not a problem, because once this strain entered the body of a Giant Spirit Realm native, it would become a continuously effective “witchcraft emitter,” fundamentally solving the problem of slow activation.

As for the spread?

Jeming further enhanced the reproductive ability of this strain and equipped it with a high-efficiency energy absorption system derived from the Black Giant.

They can crazily absorb energy within the host body, reproducing at an exponential speed.

When the host dies from “excessive coexistence” and their body disintegrates, a large number of strains will naturally spread into the environment, seeking new hosts…

Even due to the energy absorption system, these strains have an extremely exaggerated survival ability.

Not to mention the air, harsh environmental conditions like high temperature and low temperature have little effect on them.

Involving three rounds of precise biochemical transformation and fusion, Jeming barely completed this research named “Catastrophe of Coexistence” just by the final deadline.

He understood the biggest flaw of this technology—not being able to eliminate the enemy instantly, it needs time to ferment and create an epidemic-like effect.

When all logistics element Wizards gathered in front of Dixon, the Seventh Level Wizard, the Destiny Mage’s eyes calmly swept over everyone and the ominous creations or spell models in their hands.

His gaze paused for a moment on Balsa’s “Resonant Collapse Wave” model, and again on Jeming’s gray strain that was encased in a specially made crystal jar, seemingly harmless.

“Detection indicates that the enemy’s legion is moving.” Dixon’s voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached the mind of every wizard, “Your research is the point of the spear and the shield. Next, the battlefield is the final test ground.”

“What honors and rewards you can achieve depends on how your means can shine in the impending steel storm.”

“Submit your results to the military supplies department for record and mass production. Then, prepare yourselves. War is about to begin.”

His words were bland but carried the heavy pressure of an impending tempest.

…

…

Royal City, deep inside the Giant Spirit Realm.

Koger’s massive semi-fluid body squirmed anxiously around the throne, his three pairs of compound eyes flickering with persistent unease.

Ever since he spent the precious Thousand Soul Golden Crystal and communicated with the “Light Chaser,” the other party had become silent, like a stone sinking into the sea without any news.

He tried multiple times to reactivate the cross-dimensional communication array, but no matter how much energy he injected, the other side remained silent without any will responding to his call.

“Did that guy really abscond with the funds?” An absurd thought spun in Koger’s mind.

Of course, he understands, even though the other party scammed him from the communication array, it hasn’t paid the final payment for “intelligence”—which is the main amount.

But “Light Chaser” is known for its reputation, it shouldn’t be like this.

Anxiety seeped into his core like cold slime.

Unknown enemies, lost contact with the intelligence merchant, everything exuded eeriness.

However, time waits for no one.

The pressure from the border increased daily, the enormous war machine was already operating at full speed, and the legions and warriors summoned from various affiliated planes had assembled.

The arrow is on the string, ready to be shot.

Koger forcibly suppressed his doubts and unease, focusing all his energy on the war’s deployment.

No matter what, he must first repel these invading “Wizards”!
