Zhao Zian wanted to pass this wisp of divine power to the specialized ones, since the specialized ones were the strongest fighting force.
This single unit of divine power should be the minimum amount, and cannot be divided in two.
That would definitely be given to the strongest unit, since it's better to help the superior than the inferior.
Specialized ants are already quite powerful; if you give them divine power to enhance them, who knows how powerful they'll become?
However, when Zhao Zian tried to connect, he found that the connection was intermittent.
It's not that specialized beliefs aren't strong, but rather that the prerequisite for transmitting information is that both sides need to be mentally sharp.
You want to pass something to someone, but they're an idiot. The thing is practically in their face, and they don't even reach out to take it. What are you going to do then?
Specialization is exactly what it is.
Large in size and strong in combat, it is born purely for killing, but it is slow in movement and covered in sharp spikes. It cannot even feed itself and usually has to be fed by worker ants.
Well, now we've discovered another flaw: he's brainless.
Zhao Zian sighed silently to himself.
Well, there's no other way then. Let's just give it a random soldier ant and see what happens after we upgrade it...
But just then, the queen ant's enormous body suddenly crawled out of the ant nest.
Originally, all the ants in front of the anthill had lined up in a battle formation.
However, the queen ant herself has little fighting ability. Although she is large, her tail has evolved to be rather bulky in order to produce more eggs, which makes it impossible for her to fight effectively.
Without other interfering factors, a single soldier ant is likely capable of killing the queen ant.
"...Our people...will live and die together..."
Compared to other ants' blind faith in deities, the queen ant already possesses a certain level of intelligence.
It knew in its heart that its people were in a life-or-death situation.
The queen ant, who has spent her entire life inside the anthill, struggles to crawl out of the nest.
Its bulky body makes it difficult for it to move.
In nature, most ant queens are very plump and often rely on worker ants to help them move.
Some queen ants even prioritize production over everything else, essentially becoming a giant, productive lump of flesh.
...
After being strengthened, the queen ant in the ant nest gained some mobility.
In the past, the queen who stood out from countless queen ants was undoubtedly noble.
Despite possessing supreme power, they are actually only capable of laying eggs in dark and damp nests, repeating the same mechanical life day after day in pursuit of the dream of expanding their species.
The queen ant's life was originally supposed to be spent in a dark nest, laying eggs until she died, ending her insignificant life.
The first time I saw the sun.
It was the gods who lifted it up.
It's so intense and dazzling!
sun.
Gods.
The queen ant didn't know why she was suddenly thinking about these things; she had always lived in a daze.
It seems that things changed after encountering the gods.
I lived the first half of my life in a daze.
Although things are a little different now, I still feel a bit confused.
The gods seem to be very interested in the race.
The gods were very happy.
The queen ant was also very happy.
The gods wanted to increase the size of their race.
The queen ant also wants to expand her race.
I'm so happy.
We encountered an enemy.
Then let's fight.
The ants have never been afraid of anyone.
Can't beat them?
Then let's run.
Someone has cornered my home and I can't escape?
...
The queen ant thought for a moment.
My not-so-complex brain is about to explode.
It raised its head, glanced at its people, and looked very majestic and domineering.
Very good, the gods will be very happy.
Do the gods seem to enjoy war?
I also like war.
However, they simply couldn't win.
They were even blocked at their own doorstep.
I am about to die.
The queen ant looked up at the sky.
However, this other world has no sun.
What a pity.
Just as the queen ant was disappointed to find that the sun she remembered was not in the sky.
A beam of light suddenly appeared from the horizon.
They kept flying towards the ant nest.
From the queen ant's perspective, the beam of light continued to magnify.
The queen ant's initially disappointed expression turned excited again.
It's so intense and dazzling!
sun.
I really want to fly over and take a look.
The light fell to the ground, and divine power entered the body.
The queen ant felt as if the sun had fallen from the sky and struck her.
It was even somewhat apprehensive.
However, the fall of the sun did not harm him.
I felt warm all over, just like when I was lifted up by the gods for the first time.
The queen ant felt confused and had no idea what was happening.
Energy surged continuously within the body.
Just like during the first evolution.
However, unlike the first evolution which was quite painful, this time there was absolutely no discomfort.
Its complex eyes looked around, then looked at itself.
The once bloated belly had shrunk considerably, and exoskeletons continued to cover the body's surface, turning the soft belly into something incredibly hard.
The exoskeleton on its back is even more exaggerated, with countless barbs along the edges and two enormous wings in the middle.
The outermost layer of the wings is covered by an exoskeleton, while the middle layer is a thin membrane, similar to that of a female ant before mating flight, only thicker.
The six thick ant legs are like six sharp blades. The legs are similar to those of a specialized insect, with the bottom being pointed. Basically, one stomp can kill a small insect.
The joints are almost impossible to attack. The multi-layered armor is like the joints of a Western knight's armor, layer upon layer, without affecting the agility at all.
The head appears to be encased in an extra layer of helmet, an exoskeleton that completely covers the head, leaving only the eyes and mouth exposed, and extends further back to the neck, covering the junction between the head and body.
Its size hasn't changed much; it was already five centimeters long.
After this round of strengthening, its size is still five centimeters, but it has become much more compact. Originally, it was chubby and full of fat, but now it is as strong as a calf.
It is only four centimeters in size.
The current queen ant is a size larger than the digitized ant, and her exoskeleton is also thicker.
The key is that it has wings on its back, so it can finally fly.
This thing, placed in the insect world, would be a little tyrant, with high attack, high defense, and high agility, a hexagonal warrior with all the best features.
Even sheer numbers aren't enough to overwhelm them; after all, if they really can't win, they can always fly away.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zian couldn't stop laughing.
He never expected that a casual wisp of divine power he released would cause such a huge change.
This gave them even more confidence in winning the war.
A large number of ants defended the front of the ant nest, while the queen ant lightly leaped forward, her wings flapping continuously, and flew to the front of the ant army.
What surprised Zhao Zian was not only the Queen Ant's fighting power.
The queen ant gently raised her head, and a clear chirping sound came from her mouth.
The chirping of insects continued to spread, enveloping the surrounding ants and even slightly affecting the horned beetle army not far away.
Area-of-effect buff!?
