The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 1200 - 417: The Cards’ “Heavenly Dao”

With inspiration, Bai Yi’s work efficiency was exceptionally high.

Armed with superpowers, she inherently had the ability to transform. If she wanted, she could completely remodel a creature from flesh to soul into another species in minutes.

What she truly lacked was a comprehensive strategy.

Various technologies tested on the planet with the Abnormal Object were meticulously deconstructed by Bai Yi, recreated from the most basic functions biologically.

From the simplest principle-based Beam Cannon to various heavy cannons utilizing different magical powers and energy technologies, to the Magic Cannons inspired by witches’ spells...

The main cannons on the Worker Bees changed almost daily; from the primitive model cultivated on the first day, no two Worker Bees had identical main cannons.

It wasn’t just about the main cannons on them.

To accelerate research, Bai Yi transported an entire research team from the territory into this world. They were temporarily responsible for designing the auxiliary cannons of the swarm of bees’ warships.

Even if they weren’t professional weapon designers, they provided the fastest feedback.

As soon as a new auxiliary cannon was designed, it could be directly tested in combat.

Advantages and disadvantages were immediately apparent, allowing for targeted modifications and enhancements.

If everything was on schedule, even in the tail end of a battle, they could push the strengthened Giant Bees onto the battlefield.

While there were indeed times they strayed into errors, and some enhancements weakened the Giant Bees, overall, they were on the path of enhancement.

Because of frequent testing, the advancement speed of the front-line Insect Swarm was constantly being updated.

A new cannon every day, plus increasingly proficient coordination between the Insect Swarm and the Giant Bees, resulted in faster advancement.

It could be said that the rapid iteration of Giant Bees owes much to the Card Masters and Contractors of this world!

If it weren’t for the nearly endless enemies available for testing, the Giant Bees would never have evolved so quickly.

They are even more competent than those that once trained her in tactics and provided the Abnormal Object "True God".

Of course, there is the Smile Conservation Law, which states that a smile doesn’t arise out of nowhere but merely transfers from one person to another.

However, while Bai Yi certainly enjoyed the testing, for some, it was far from pleasant.

"*Card Master’s profanity*"

The "Card King" took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his emotions. Even so, his tone was like a bomb ready to explode at any moment.

"One month, I was just in seclusion for a single month!

Two hundred seventy cities were completely occupied by the Insect Swarm! Is this your idea of defense?

Although I didn’t expect you to hold all of them, what about your achievements?

In over four hundred battles, combining large and small, only a quarter success rate! Is this how you repay me for the resources I invested in you?"

When he witnessed his team’s defeat that day, he already had a premonition, knowing his Card Masters would likely be unable to withstand the Insect Swarm’s invasion.

He’d lost hope for his Card Masters to hold a defensive line and drag the Insect Swarm into a war of attrition.

Knowing the Insect Swarm’s strength exceeded imagination, fearing further delay would drag him into a war mire, leaving no time to innovate his cards, he chose to retreat into research.

He even personally authorized the idea of allowing partial territorial concession to ease the Insect Swarm’s invasion.

Before he went into seclusion, he had already predicted the war situation.

Originally, he thought that even if these guys couldn’t stand, they could fight and retreat, releasing some outposts to delay until the end of his retreat, giving him a chance to counterattack.

Now that his retreat was over, the situation had far exceeded his expectations.

The plan he authorized seemed to be taken as a license for retreat; any sign of overwhelming force and the lines retreated further.

Noble pretense of following his orders for strategic withdrawal to delay the Insect Swarm’s pace.

But in reality, it was just fear of becoming another statistic from the constant messages of frontline sacrifices.

Having dealt with these Card Masters’ organizations and families from his weak beginnings, he understood their mindset well.

Unless it was truly life and death, they wouldn’t understand sacrifice.

For them, unless it was the ultimate impending demise, without seeing a future where inaction would lead to their death...

They would undoubtedly choose to sacrifice others to preserve themselves, so they could divvy a larger portion of the spoils later.

The very source of their confidence was, ironically, him.

That’s why he felt a bit helpless.

Becoming the "Card King" for so long, he had climbed over these families and organizations, imprinting his power deeply in their minds.

Even if they had opinions about him, they ironically had the utmost faith in his strength, which was truly...

The "Card King" felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart but outwardly glared angrily, turning his gaze to the Contractors beside him.

"Not just them—you too!

It’s you who hold grudges against the Insect Swarm; it’s you who want to oppose the Insect Swarm in our world, but now even you are not putting in effort. What does this mean?
