The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 443 - 227 A Little Genius Shock (6k)_2

But the Church itself ruled over everyone through faith, thereby creating a group calling themselves "Bloodline Warriors."

By stimulating the bloodline within everyone, they gained powerful bodies and recovery abilities, even transforming into giant beasts to fight.

With this formidable force, and a strategy that practically eradicated magic, the world’s technology stagnated from the outset of the so-called Holy Wars by the Church Court.

The primitive city-state system still remains, centered around the King, ruling downward in tiers: Kings command Dukes, Dukes command Marquises, and so forth.

Of course, these noble positions don’t concern her luck; what she cares about is the power that corresponds behind them.

In this world, nobility is granted based on strength; lower tiers aside, but to be at the level of a Duke means being a Tier Six Bloodline Knight who has mastered beastification!

Other than these Dukes, the only figures worth noting are those akin to bishops in the Church Court, who are also Tier Six.

Looking at the continent they have descended upon, there are three different Kingdoms ruling, combined having 15 Dukes and 9 Tier Six directly within the Church Court’s ranks.

Upon learning of this power distribution and understanding the weaknesses and strengths of this warrior system, the expedition army should have continued the "expedition" march.

Yet, before she could make any arrangements, she was attacked by a group claiming to be Contractors.

It was obvious they did not understand the expeditionary army enough, hastily rushing to attack her, intending to assassinate her within the witch ranks.

In this respect, it seems they understand them very well, knowing she is the Lord, the leader of all witches.

No, perhaps it is more apt to say they understand the concept of the "Lord" system itself.

As for how she knew they were Contractors, naturally, it was by turning them into her own people.

This group of Contractors was completely unprepared for the assimilation ability of the witches, and lacking understanding of the witches’ powers, just a little trick rendered them unable to advance or retreat, eventually being gradually assimilated and taken down.

Unfortunately, due to the existence known as the Holy Paradise backing them, once these Contractors revealed some key information, they died one by one, rendering them unusable.

But at least she learned through the sacrifice of so many Contractors that there existed opposing entities known as Contractors active in this world, and she was now exposed.

After this discovery, she accelerated the witches’ expansion.

Thanks to the backward technology severely suppressed by the Church Court.

It led to extremely slow information dissemination in this world, allowing her to easily suppress the news of city-state collapses.

Even when human settlements encountered were wiped out and transformed into witches, no one would notice abnormality.

However, due to the existence of the Contractors, after devouring one Kingdom, the witches were eventually discovered.

Being witches proficient in magic, they were naturally seen as evil in this human world under the Church Court’s teachings.

This allowed the Contractors to easily incite hatred between the Church Court and the remaining two Kingdoms against the witches, leading to the outbreak of a war.

With the million witches gained from converting an entire Kingdom, they faced the million-strong coalition of the two Kingdoms and the Church Court, along with the power of this world’s Contractors.

Though personally stronger than the enemy’s million troops, the coalition boasted over twenty Tier Six Bloodline Warriors and, as the instigators, Tier Six figures among the Contractors.

Facing the combined force of over forty Tier Six entities, the witches did not possess an overwhelming advantage.

After all, they were contending with 6th-tier targets using gene enhancements at the 4th Rank and 5th tier spells.

The final outcome was clear: she won.

Though the process was unsatisfactory because, due to the equilibrium in battle, she could not continue converting more witches.

Facing Tier Six foes, sacrifices were inevitable. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

This unifying battle of the continent not only failed to increase the number of witches but saw a notable decrease.

Now, fewer than seven hundred thousand witches remain.

However, these sacrifices were not in vain, as they successfully converted five Tier Six witches in the end.

Under gene enhancement, the combat power of these Tier Six witches was significantly stronger than before!

In subsequent battles, they played a substantial role!

As for the next targets...

Only two are left of the continent; the larger one is where the Contractors have retreated, directly ruled by this world’s Church Court.

It is regarded as a holy land by the Church Court.

Surely, there is some hidden secret behind it.

The other, smaller area, more accurately described as an archipelago, is governed by the remaining Reformist Magicians.

In terms of preference, she is inclined toward the latter.

Not only because the strength is easier to manage, but also due to their research in magic.

Even though she considers herself highly skilled in spells, she knows she is just one person, with limited time and energy.

In terms of spell research, no matter how genius she is, facing a group of mages who have accumulated knowledge for who knows how long, she must remain respectful.

Perhaps there, she might find a surprise, something that’ll make even her eyes light up.
