However, what she needs is not only Fusion but also subsequent testing, accurately confirming the function of this gene, and attempting to discover more functions from it is her goal.
The Genetic Fusion finished quickly, and Bai Yi immediately conducted a check on everyone and asked about their feelings.
It was evident that the organ spawned by this gene, as a passive part of carrying power, could not possess any special powers. Only when Bai Yi forcibly connected via the network, could she perceive its existence from her perspective.
Finding this organ on the spiritual level, was the first step completed. The next step was to test its tolerance to various powers.
This experiment lasted a full day.
And unexpectedly, this time the casualties were quite high.
There were thirty to forty believers when they arrived, but fewer than ten left.
It wasn’t that Bai Yi was soft-hearted or benevolent; purely from an experimental perspective, she hadn’t expected such high casualties in this experiment...
"Strange, sharing pure Magic Power is no problem, and the same goes for physical superpowers, but when elevating to my actual superpower, it directly..."
Bai Yi for a moment did not know how to describe it...
If she had to describe it, she thought pollution would be more appropriate.
After trying to share her superpower with the experiment subject, the body immediately underwent Mutation.
The body rapidly proliferated and enlarged, sprouting various organs that shouldn’t exist on its body; being neither male nor female was the least of it.
The head irregularly grew tentacles similar to an octopus, while the face was covered with the carapace and wings of an Insect Swarm, and the eyes seemed to start "spinning" (in a physical sense of filamentary division), doubling continuously.
And this was just the head; apart from the head, its entire body appeared with similar Mutations, sprouting parts from various animals and even plants.
In almost an instant, it became a monster.
This Mutation not only appeared on the body but even the soul did not escape.
From the soul’s perspective, the other party’s soul seemed... to be suddenly "elevated" considerably; before Bai Yi could react, the soul had completely disappeared.
Leaving only an insane monster body without reason.
Although it looked genuinely terrifying, because it lacked reason, it practically became her loyal subordinate under the influence of the Aura in the next second.
Unfortunately, the real combat power of this monster was already fully reflected in its appearance; in human terms, it could only scare people, completely lacking combat strength.
After conducting the necessary experimental recordings on it, Bai Yi didn’t keep it, instead using her superpower to completely extract its Life and let it die.
The subsequent other casualties were also centered around this test, while other powers like those within the body or even soul-armored superpowers could be successfully endowed.
However, compared to soul-armored superpowers, flesh-based superpowers had very severe distance limitations, quickly becoming ineffective beyond Bai Yi’s own superpower usage range.
It was like carrying water with a leaky container; within the range, with Bai Yi’s replenishment, it was fine, but once outside the replenishment range, it would quickly leak out.
Soul armor was somewhat better; Bai Yi couldn’t even test its specific coverage range, only that its power was much weaker than her direct exertion.
Bai Yi’s fundamental need, for the Power of Faith to bear the load, indeed aligned with her expectations, able to temporarily bear power through a similar short Divine Descent method, achieving the effect of releasing Divine Arts.
There was even a pleasant surprise—this organ could achieve a similar effect as a church, able to intercept some Power of Faith for storage.
To test this, Bai Yi even specifically took the experiment subject to the church to conduct it through the Divine Descent.
Moreover, Bai Yi unexpectedly discovered that this superpower granted through the Power of Faith did not cause the same sort of Mutation as directly granting superpower.
The only drawback is that it cannot bear abilities like genetic enhancement that need continuous guidance, but can only use "active skills" like weaving a Tree-man or bestowing death.
But these were two completely different results obtained from earlier, heavily-loss-laden experiments, making Bai Yi ponder deeply.
Letting the surviving believers leave, Bai Yi brainstormed over the experimental results recorded today.
What exactly is the difference between pure granting superpowers and bypassing the Power of Faith?
Clearly, it’s all her superpower, yet the Power of Faith can be used normally, even better than soul armament or physical superpowers.
The power is almost not diminished, and the range is similarly untestable.
"The problem certainly lies within the Power of Faith...
But what exactly is the problem?
Moreover, that monster..."
When conducting the experiment, she was too surprised to pay close attention, but now recalling, the limbs on that monster seemed to come from all the creatures she had currently recorded and created.
Only after being completely scrambled and then implanted in an extremely chaotic form, would the experiment subject’s gene completely collapse, creating this abnormal "Chimera."
"Unable to bear my superpower?
If thinking along these lines, perhaps the Power of Faith served as an intermediary buffer, filtering my superpower’s... ’pollution’?
Allowing it to be accepted by humans.
Moreover, in reality, even the superpower borne by the Power of Faith, it only stayed on them for a brief instant before being immediately released..."
