The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 481 - Amalgamation

None of the Amalgamations he merged inherited Random Evolution.

Han Wu had merged all eighteen candidates with his locusts after subduing them with his Divine Authority, with ten becoming stronger, six becoming weaker, and two exploding on the spot.

At first, Han Wu assumed there was something fundamentally wrong with his experiment, but the Origin of Mutation, with his extensive research experience, thought it was too early to give up.

“If you didn’t get your desired results, it could just be because the scale of your experiment isn’t wide enough. You don’t have enough test subjects. You may obtain your desired results if you increase the scale and number of test subjects.”

Han Wu thought this was illogical, but the Origin of Mutation was eventually proven correct in his claims.

One day, his locusts stumbled across a hive of low-ranking insect-type beasts.

He merged them with his weakest locusts, failing more than ten thousand times before one finally succeeded.

The merged locust was a weak Elite life form. However, the important thing was that it had obtained Random Evolution.

A lot of time and energy was spent nurturing the locust. Han Wu fed it an abundance of meat for its nutrition, and the locust fed ravenously under the effect of the Law of Gluttony. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Energy slowly condensed within its carapace until it evolved for the first time. It then turned into a blood-red egg, which hatched after two days.

The eggshell cracked open. Han Wu waited impatiently for the beast inside to reveal itself.

“An... alpaca?” he muttered in shock when the beast emerged.

His locust had turned into an alpaca after its first evolution. The Amalgamation had lost its ability to fly and gained a preference for eating plants. Also, it excelled at spitting—something Han Wu found rude and secretly chastised it for.

Regardless, he had finally managed to obtain a Desolate Beast from the merging and evolution of his core race. He ordered the other locusts to gather as much vegetation as possible to feed the alpaca.

Even with the Law of Gluttony, the alpaca ate for ten entire days before accumulating enough energy to activate Random Evolution again. Han Wu watched as the alpaca turned into a red egg, commencing its second evolution.

This time, it took five entire days before it hatched. Han Wu felt his heart shatter when he saw the hatched beast.

The first evolution had resulted in an alpaca that could do nothing but spit.

After its second evolution, it turned into a chicken that was somehow wearing dungarees. It was preposterous! Han Wu almost wanted to chop the chicken up and cook it.

Jiang Ming and Jing Jing had to physically stop him from doing anything stupid to the only Amalgamation with Random Evolution. Sighing, Han Wu could do nothing but nurture it for the third evolution.

Half a year passed in this manner.

Han Wu stood beside a hatching red egg. This was already the fifteenth evolution.

After the alpaca and the dungaree-wearing chicken, it had evolved into a bee-turtle, a humanoid crab, and even a humanoid squid[1]. Each looked weirder than the last, and all had useless Skills.

Han Wu was on the verge of giving up. He severely doubted that the Desolate Beast would ever evolve into something useful.

But the fifteenth evolution surprised him.

Golden light shone through the cracks of the eggshell.

Han Wu's eyes widened in astonishment. He had finally obtained something rare!

Wait, never mind. It's just a golden turtle.

Han Wu stood in motionless shock for a moment, then slowly approached the golden turtle, already thinking of turning it into soup to nourish his own body.

When he checked its data, however, he became increasingly baffled.

[Desolate Beast: Golden Catch][2]

[Evolution Count: 15]

[Skill: Aurumantine Shield]

Han Wu rubbed his eyes, bewildered by how it still had only one Skill even after evolving fifteen times. Even the alpaca had two Skills, one for spitting and another for riding.

How strong could it be with just a single Skill? Still, he found a suitable day to test it out on the field.

Grabbing a 1-Star God hammer, he started swinging at it. A huge hole was left in the ground from the impact, but Golden Catch remained unharmed.

Having gained a vague idea of how powerful its defensive properties were, he moved up to using a 2-Star God weapon.

Golden Catch remained unharmed with its golden shell shining brightly.

He tested it with 3-Star, 4-Star, 5-Star, 6-Star, and finally the 7-Star God weapon, the Black King Sword. Only then did he manage to leave a tiny scratch on its shell.

When Jiang Ming caught wind of Golden Catch’s durability, he dashed into the stash of treasures that Han Wu had previously looted from the Supreme Merchant Group, found a Skill called Armor Form, and taught it to Golden Catch.

Golden Catch was incredibly intelligent after fifteen evolutions and learned Armor Form in only three days. Once activated, its defensive capabilities were further boosted, making it so durable that even the 7-Star God weapon, the Black King Sword, only left a tiny mark on it after three swings.

Unfortunately, Han Wu was reluctant to wear the shell-shaped armor form of the golden turtle.

Sighing, Jiang Ming sifted through the pile of treasures once more and found another Skill called Shield Form, which he gave to Golden Catch to learn.

Only then did Han Wu accept Golden Catch as a defensive unit. With its powerful defense, Han Wu was confident that he could endure Steely’s Steelcutter for at least five seconds.

After gaining Golden Catch, he had an idea. The Amalgamation Golden Catch had given him a defensive option capable of guarding against a 7-Star God Weapon. What if he were to collect more Amalgamations?

His search for more compatible Desolate Beasts commenced.
