Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

Lin Feng, Lv. 29/29

Life Value: 980, Physique: 980, Spirit: 1045

Spiritual Limit-Breaking complete. Spiritual Attribute permanently +50.

Note: Due to a major breakthrough in Spiritual Value, Basic Skills: Identification, Upgrade, Copy, and Mind Sensing have received additional enhancements.

Identification: Max range increased by 100% to 10 km. The detail of identification increases as distance decreases.

Upgrade: Upgrade time reduced by 50%.

Copy: Replica effective range expanded from two kilometers to five kilometers.

Mind Sensing: Detection range increased from five kilometers to ten kilometers.

Note: Spiritual Attribute has entered Tier Three ahead of schedule, activating an additional new Skill: Genetic Radiation.

Genetic Radiation: Analyze the hidden genetic secrets of the Zerg Race known to you. Through the radiation of Spiritual Energy, you can implant these secrets into nearby Zergs, awakening ancient memories from their genetic bloodline. Each use reduces your Personal Level by one and consumes one hundred points from all Attributes. The radiation will affect an area with a five-kilometer radius.

Evaluation: This is the crystalline product of the Zerg Race’s biotechnology, originating from the Divine Domain above Tier Six. Although it is a weakened, neutered version, it is still enough to trigger a monumental species transformation on an ordinary planet.

Reading it all from top to bottom, the smile on Lin Feng’s face gradually faded, replaced by an increasingly solemn expression.

The initial changes were all within his expectations. The last major Spiritual Limit-Breaking had brought minor enhancements to his skills, so this time, a Tier Jumping limit-breaking naturally bestowed even greater buffs.

The maximum range of Identification had doubled to ten kilometers. Furthermore, the closer he was, the more detailed the information became, allowing him to gather more precise and comprehensive intelligence.

To Lin Feng, this was the most important improvement of all.

And the cooldown for Upgrade was also reduced, with the time-saving effect jumping from 10% to 50%. This was equally important for the future upgrades of the Land Patrol Battleship.

Lin Feng recalled that the Battleship’s Tier Jumping Upgrade had taken almost an entire night, close to ten hours. To get it to Lv. 29, it would take at least ninety hours, nearly four days.

Such a time-consuming upgrade process was not good news for the upcoming battle to halt the Hai City Mother Empress’s advance.

The Tier Three Mid-stage Mother Empress from Hai City was now only half the distance of Wu City away from Taihu Lake—about twenty kilometers. Under normal circumstances, it would arrive in less than six days.

However, Lin Feng’s cooperative agreement required him to delay it for ten days, which meant he had to hold out for at least four days or more.

He couldn’t count on the Thirteenth Division defenders on the front line. Lin Feng needed his entire Battleship convoy to engage in continuous, non-stop combat.

Moreover, fighting on the surface wasn’t enough. It was just as necessary to stop the Zerg Race’s underground excavation and expansion.

With himself and Shen Jie as the core combat force, Lin Feng planned to select a group of elite Awakeners from his team. He would have them use the remaining Tier Two Zerg Eggs to quickly reach Tier Two.

Afterward, they would follow him into the underground Wormholes to fight.

This was to curb the expansion of the Red-Armored Beetles underground.

As for his other, more important objectives...

According to the information sent by Ding Chenghai, a Tier Three Mid-stage Mother Empress could hatch variant Tier Two Zerg Race with all sorts of special abilities.

Such as Pulse War Scorpions, Tank Flame Armors, and so on...

These Tier Two Zergs would form special swarm squads with Wind-winged Zergs and Tiger Spine Zergs, specifically to deal with Human Awakeners and destroy fortified defensive structures.

To counter their surprise attacks, Lin Feng naturally had to form an elite squad of his own...

...a team composed entirely of Tier Two Awakeners.

This was especially true now that his Replication Skill’s effective range for Replicas had expanded again, doubling from two kilometers to five. The elite squad could follow him and use the Shotguns in their hands to launch an effective counterattack.

Meanwhile, the improvement to Mind Sensing, which doubled its detection range from five kilometers to ten, would allow Lin Feng to sense and predict danger in advance within the underground Wormholes. This range perfectly matched the electromagnetic burst mode of the Level 29 Electromagnetic Cannon.

After reviewing the changes to his skills, when he got to the new skill at the end, the smile on Lin Feng’s face vanished in an instant, replaced by a frown and a grave expression.

Genetic Radiation...

The skill’s name alone sounded slightly terrifying.

Unlike Mind Sensing, which he had acquired before, this wasn’t a support-type skill. It was an offensive ability with clear aggressive intent.

The contents of its description, and especially the background information in the Evaluation, revealed just how terrifying this ability was.

In its most basic description, Genetic Radiation could make Zergs within a five-kilometer radius awaken to the monumental changes in Zerg history that Lin Feng had witnessed in his spiritual consciousness, unlocking the seals and shackles on their genes...

After undergoing this radiated mutation, even the most common Tier One Black Spine Zergs and Cyan-winged Zergs would awaken a sense of self and learn about the Zerg Race’s dark past of enslavement.

This meant that Genetic Radiation would become a terrifying mental offensive capable of shattering the Zerg Race’s will to fight.

But Lin Feng knew with certainty that the best target for Genetic Radiation was undoubtedly the Zerg Race Mother Empress who commanded the entire Swarm.

Once a High-tier Zerg Race Mother Empress unlocked her own genetic shackles, recalled the truth of her race’s past, and reverted to a peace-loving Primitive Zerg Race...

...then, just as the Evaluation described, the Zerg Race would surely suffer a severe internal schism, possibly even descending into infighting.

For the current Swarm, the hierarchical order was the foundation for executing commands, the most important Law, and the very bedrock of the Swarm’s rule. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The awakened Swarms that defected and no longer participated in the invasion of Blue Star would become a grave threat to the Zerg Race’s plan of conquest, making them the primary target for the existing Zerg forces...
