83: Chapter 83 Potato of the Saccharin

To go, or not to go? That is the question.

He was currently completely in the dark about the specific situation over there. Although he had sent Ant-men to scout the path, the perspective of the Ant-men and descending in person were two completely different things.

However, once he, a God Lord, stepped in personally, if he accidentally emitted any strange fluctuations and alerted that Level 9 lifeform, or other believers of the Divine Kingdom, everything would be ruined.

A God Lord can stir up clouds and rain within their own Divine Kingdom, but once they go to someone else's Divine Kingdom, their consciousness body does not possess heaven-defying abilities.

Although they can come and go freely without life-threatening danger, it still hurts to be hit. Unless they have reached a higher realm, they usually would not go and risk danger alone.

Therefore, after becoming a Demigod, God Lords are accustomed to possessing their believers to explore other Divine Kingdoms.

"Forget it, for the sake of caution, it is better to prioritize the overall situation." Gu Han dismissed the idea of going over personally.

The most urgent matter right now is to expand his military forces by borrowing from the opposing Divine Kingdom to deal with tomorrow's defending match; he must clear the battlefield now.

With a thought, the interior of the Divine Kingdom began to move mountains and fill seas.

The ocean that originally occupied a large area was forcibly compressed by half. The snowfield, desert, and Volcanic Zone were merged to serve as the battlefield, roughly pushed to the edge of the Divine Kingdom, covering a quarter of its area.

Having a venue was not enough; there also needed to be an isolation zone. Gu Han called upon all the Iron Vine Snake Banyan he had previously cultivated, lining the perimeter of the battlefield. These vines intertwined with each other, rapidly forming a solid wooden wall.

The White-Feathered Six-Winged Beast Reproduction area was Gu Han's foundation and his most profitable industry at the moment; it must absolutely not be affected during the battle.

He gritted his teeth and spent three million credit points in the mall, buying a D-rank defensive divine building, [Protective Energy Shield], and placed it directly over the Reproduction area, forming a translucent blue shield with the functions of defense, shock absorption, and impact isolation.

Gu Han clapped his hands and turned his gaze toward the newly arranged Cyst Demon Flower community. This thing was violently toxic; although it was a natural defense line, it would inevitably leak after the fighting started, and the air in the Divine Kingdom might become poisonous.

Gu Han planted a full circle of Cyst Demon Grass at the rear of the battlefield, strictly ordering the Ant-men not to feed them poison. According to the characteristics of the Cyst Demon, as long as they were not irrigated with poison, their cysts would be empty, and they would desperately absorb all toxic substances in the surroundings, making them a natural air purifier.

The toxic gas leaking from the battlefield would all be absorbed by the Cyst Demon Grass and would absolutely not endanger the interior of the Divine Kingdom.

Gu Han let out a long breath; playing with poison really requires constant caution to avoid causing ecological collapse.

"That's it! I can start with the ecosystem to dismantle the opposing Divine Kingdom!" Gu Han's eyes lit up, and his thinking instantly opened up.

The God Lord of the opposing Divine Kingdom was trapped, and the entire Divine Kingdom was actually in a masterless state. Without a God Lord to constantly control the ecological balance, he could completely start from the ecosystem to dismantle the opponent.

His thinking had been too rigid, intimidated by that Level 9 big boss, always thinking about how to avoid battle or kill it. In fact, there was no need to fight head-on; as long as he quietly destroyed the opposing ecological balance, once the food chain was broken, the bottom-layer races would quickly collapse due to resource depletion.

Once the low-end combat forces were all dead, even if only a few transcendent ones remained, or that Level 9 big boss, Gu Han could completely find other ways to solve it. At worst, he could lure the tiger away from the mountain and should be able to sneak in and steal the Divine Kingdom's origin.

Sneaking a couple of sips should be enough to make his Divine Kingdom's area increase significantly.

But how to destroy the ecology? Using fire was definitely not okay; most of the plants on the other side were toxic. A fire would cause toxic smoke to billow, and he would wipe out his own Ant-men first. Not only that, the opposing Cyst Demon would definitely go to fight the fire, alerting the enemy and causing more harm than good.

He must use a covert and lethal method, for example, introducing an invasive species with extremely strong exclusionary properties to cut off the vitality of other toxic plants.

If the bottom-level Cyst Demon lost their income and couldn't hand in venom, and there was no God Lord intervening within the race, civil unrest should break out, right?

Gu Han immediately opened the system mall and frantically searched through the plant category. Half an hour later, his gaze locked onto a plant called "Basella Potato."

This thing was a notorious plant before the Divine Kingdom Era, and after the Divine Kingdom Era, it was even listed as a disaster-level plant.

It is a twining vine plant; its vines grow extremely fast, specializing in strangling other plants to occupy water, soil, and nutrients. Even more perverted is its Reproduction ability; not only can it grow bulbils that take root upon falling from the leaf axils, but it also has fat, fleshy tuberous roots underground. Even if only a broken branch or root remains, it can survive as long as it touches the soil.

Moreover, during its growth process, the Basella Potato releases a special substance that changes the pH and nutrient structure of the soil, strongly inhibiting the growth of other surrounding plants. It can be said that wherever it goes, not a blade of grass grows.

Gu Han spent a few hundred credit points to buy a large batch of Basella Potatoes to give the Demigod Cyst Demon a new taste.

For the entire next day, he soaked in the Divine Kingdom, starting insane cross-Reproduction experiments.

Gu Han named it "Cyst Demon Potato."

This thing retained all the hooligan characteristics of the Basella Potato: fast growth, strong Reproduction, and inhibition of other plants, while also inheriting the Cyst Demon Grass's trait of absorbing toxins and storing them in poison sacs.

The most critical thing was that its IQ was extremely low; it would not listen to any instructions at all, only knowing how to follow its instincts to spread crazily, and would even prioritize strangling and absorbing toxic plants.

Gu Han immediately set about arranging for the Ant-men to take the Cyst Demon Potato into the opposing Divine Kingdom to start planting. They would plant them on a large scale on the outskirts of the Divine Kingdom first, and bury them deeper inside the Divine Kingdom.

Afterwards, he silently deduced in his heart that once the Cyst Demon Potato took root over there, it would definitely spread crazily like cancer cells, and large swathes of the toxic plant sea would wither as a result.

By the time the opposing Cyst Demon discovered something was wrong and wanted to manage it, the entire outer ecology would likely have been destroyed.

However, there was also a hidden danger in this.

After the Cyst Demon Potato absorbs toxins, its sacs would be full of highly toxic juice. This smell might attract the Cyst Demon. Ordinary Cyst Demon were not afraid; with their meager strength, they would probably die directly from being unable to withstand eating the Cyst Demon Potato.

But the transcendent-level Cyst Demon were different; they had strong anti-toxin capabilities, and for them, the Cyst Demon Potato was simply a great tonic and miraculous medicine. This was equivalent to indirectly sending food to the opposing transcendent ones, helping them improve their strength.

"Whatever!" Gu Han curled his lips indifferently; thinking any further would make his brain atrophy. The high-intensity cross-Reproduction experiments and Divine Kingdom management had already left him physically and mentally exhausted.

Anyway, the Cyst Demon Potato was originally intended to dismantle the ecology; he didn't intend to recycle it. As long as he could cause the opposing ecology to collapse, his goal would be achieved. So what if a few more transcendent Cyst Demon were raised?

As long as they dared to chase him through the rift, he still held the trump card [Forced Breeding] in his hand; that would be like an old lady crawling into a quilt—it's just a joke.
