My Monster Fuses Everything Chapter 339

Chapter 339: Chapter 285: Mother Worm, Blood Sea, and Transformation

Bai Qilan, upon hearing Su Han's words, merely paused slightly, but showed no surprise.

“Your progress in strength indeed surpasses everyone else's. Slowly reclaiming the city is not suitable. It should be Old Zhu and the others who conquer the city to gather more monster resources for you.”

She paused briefly and said, “I have been thinking about when to discuss this matter with you; I cannot delay your progress.”

Su Han's improvement was of utmost importance to the camp. Since it was the first time fighting in unfamiliar territory in Lisu County, his presence there to lead was justifiable, but it was not feasible to have Su Han accompany them to places like Sanli Town every time, right?

At most, they could take one of Su Han's Angel Envoys or simply let Old Zhu and the others take over.

Su Han said, “With the Mother Worm present, I can start developing the area earlier, deploy bug nests, and clear some strongholds or wait for the right moment. Then Old Zhu and his team can follow up.”

He had considered this for a long time, especially after obtaining the Tunnel Giant Worm and Bug Quality Rift, which made rapid connections possible. That way, he could suppress the High Order monsters first and then let Old Zhu and his team finish up, quickly bringing the nearby areas under control.

The order might not be as solid as the gradual approach of the Tree Domain, but it was still better than nurturing monsters as powerful as the Four-headed Centipede.

Moreover, it was indeed necessary to go out and see the situation beyond the mist, especially in the major military districts.

The Bug Quality Rift provided him the conditions for instantaneous return and remote exploration.

However, there was a major prerequisite: they first had to enhance the level of the Bug Quality Rift.

“If we use bug nests to spearhead the operation, what about the survivors?”

Bai Qilan's brows frowned slightly. She knew the current situation of the Tree Domain's insect race. Without the controlling pheromones and Spiritual Factors, insect swarms not controlled by the Mother Worm wouldn't care whether you were a survivor or not; they wouldn't be able to differentiate.

“Has Shu Hongguang submitted the research proposal for Differentiated Strengthening to you yet?”

Su Han didn't directly answer but instead asked about this matter.

Bai Qilan, being extremely intelligent, immediately caught on.

“Sub-Insect Human, you want to undertake Heteromorphic Strengthening towards the insect race system, this…”

She hesitated to speak, aware that several corpses of insect people from the camp battles in South City were still lying in the research institute.

The transformation of insect people indeed counts as very potent Heteromorphic Transformation, with their bodies greatly strengthened and their organs optimized, offering comprehensive enhancements.

It might even be said that the transformation was overly mature, because it was not merely about strengthening anymore, but rather becoming an extracurricular unit of the insect race, a subspecies.

Turning humans into insect people was going against Su Han's initial intentions.

Bai Qilan didn't believe Su Han would do such a thing, thus her gaze focused intently on him.

“Not Sub-Insect Humans, just partial transformation, using insect organs to compensate for deficiencies while preserving human independent consciousness.”

Su Han hadn't crossed the line. After upgrading the bug nest, the transformation capabilities improved, and he then learned about this capability previously used in Sub-Insect Human transformation.

“I need the research institute to explore the appropriate Differentiated Strengthening through the bug nest's transformation system, retaining human characteristics as much as possible, while also possessing some ability to command the insect race, even if it's just the communication function.”

As long as they could partially command the insects, there wouldn't be worries about the insect race going completely out of control, and they also wouldn't fear that the transformed beings would lose control, as they would be reliant on this system.

“We must not break through the genetic baseline.”

Bai Qilan voiced another phrase Su Han was ready to say. Her eyes flickered slightly as she said, “Keep the transformation to the level of functional preservation, but human genetic makeup should be retained as much as possible, just like the level achieved with enhancement drugs, so the person remains human, right?”

“Right.”

Su Han was silent briefly, then nodded.

The trend of evolution was inevitable, and humanity was also on this path. It was irreversible and needed no reversal.

Because only through continuous evolution could humanity survive in such conditions.

Su Han needed to ensure that the Tree Domain wouldn't suffer from racial divergence due to evolution; this was the bottom line.

Even if they used certain insect organs post-transformation, they would be considered merely as prosthetics, not as members of an Alien Race.

“This demand is not simple.”

Bai Qilan looked a bit troubled, gave Su Han a faint glance, and said, “You speak simply, but the amount of work involved is not small, even with the research on Sub-Insect Humans and the initial paperwork from the natural evolution of insect people kept in the pharmaceutical factory. However, integrating this and carving a new path is no simple task.”

“The insect race system for Heteromorphic Transformation, for people like Ge Ming with mutations, is actually more suitable than transformations through the mother tree system, and has a higher success rate, mainly because Bug Quality can compensate for many issues. However, transplanting or transforming individual insect organs and preserving human independence is not straightforward, and we haven't tried it yet. But this direction is worth trying.”

Bai Qilan gathered her thoughts and said, “I'll need the cooperation of the Mother Worm. When do you plan to leave?”

Since splitting up their efforts, Su Han naturally planned to explore other cities, and the timing was critical.

“I won't be leaving soon, I need to first enhance the level of the Bug Quality Rift.”

After pondering briefly, he said, “Half a month.”

“Half a month?”

Bai Qilan fell into thought and said, “I will do my best, at least not to delay the actions of the Mother Worm.”
