Explosive Locusts

As Han Wu activated Life Sacrifice, a massive blood-red magic circle appeared above the Divine Realm.

Han Wu kept only 10 million Adult Insects to maintain the continuation of the race.

The remaining 2.49 billion Locusts were all sacrificed.

In an instant, countless tiny streams of Life Energy flowed into the magic circle, becoming the chips Han Wu would use to exchange for products.

The ritual ended, and three options appeared before Han Wu for him to choose from.

These were the products obtained from sacrificing 2.49 billion Locusts.

Option One: 10,000 Goblin Warriors, elite lifeforms.

Option Two: Spring of Life, which can continuously produce Spring Water to nourish life and improve the surrounding environment.

Option Three: Level 1 Holy Relic: Heart of Explosion. After being loaded into the core of the Divine Realm, there is a certain chance to birth Core Kin imbued with the Power of Explosion.

Gazing at the three options, Han Wu pondered for five seconds and decisively chose Option Three.

The 10,000 Goblin Warriors from Option One could indeed solve the current crisis. However, they were disposable items, used up once they were gone. If he got through this crisis, how would he deal with the next one?

He couldn't possibly risk the partial collapse of his Divine Realm again to mass-produce and sacrifice units.

The current ecological situation of the Divine Realm simply couldn't support Han Wu's next mass production.

Option Two, the Spring of Life, was a long-term investment and a current necessity for Han Wu. But it couldn't help Han Wu deal with tomorrow's bullying, so he regretfully gave it up.

As for Option Three, it was an investment in the Core Kin, which could have a sustainable effect on them. He wasn't sure if it could help Han Wu overcome tomorrow's challenge.

He could only gamble.

After exchanging for the Heart of Explosion, Han Wu directly loaded it into the core.

Instantly, a surge of Power of Explosion spread through all the Core Kin.

Han Wu saw that among the remaining ten million Locusts, one in a thousand, or ten thousand Locusts, had changes on their bodies. Fiery red patterns appeared, and their size doubled to ten centimeters long.

He quickly checked the stats of the modified Locusts.

Kin Name: Explosive Locusts.

Kin Level: Elite Creature.

Kin Talent: Self-Destruct.

Faith Level: Fanatical Believer (Locusts lack intelligence and obey all divine commands).

Faith Power: 1/10 day.

Reproduction Ability: 30/time.

Life Cycle: 180 days.

Han Wu grabbed an Explosive Locust and ordered it to self-destruct.

With a boom, the Explosive Locust exploded.

Its power was roughly equivalent to a large firecracker.

Such power definitely wouldn't kill an ordinary dwarf.

But if the numbers were stacked up, perhaps it could work.

Checking the time, it was already 0:03 AM. With less than 8 hours until school, which translated to less than 4 months in Divine Realm time.

Han Wu once again used the Growth Acceleration ability to promote the reproduction of the Explosive Locusts.

In the blink of an eye, four months passed in the Divine Realm.

As the school bell rang, Han Wu was teleported directly to his seat in the classroom.

Looking around, there were 60 classmates in the classroom, all chatting and laughing about the state of their Divine Realms.

At this moment, Han Wu noticed a beautiful figure walking towards him.

This girl was named Qin Shuang.

She walked to Han Wu's desk, hands on her hips, her expression incredibly arrogant. "Han Wu, have you decided yet? Become my Slave, and I guarantee no one will dare bully you until you graduate from Third Year of High School."

Her posture and tone made it seem as if becoming her slave was a glorious honor.

Han Wu frowned. "I refuse."

"What!" Qin Shuang's voice was sharp, filled with disbelief. "Do you know what you're saying? Without my protection, you'll be squeezed dry by those people."

Han Wu refused again. "Perhaps the situation is exactly as you say, but I still choose to refuse."

"I, Han Wu, may have no power or influence, but I have my own dignity. I appreciate your kind offer of protection, but if there's nothing else, please leave."

Qin Shuang snorted angrily. "Han Wu, you'll regret this!"

With that, Qin Shuang stomped back to her seat.

Not long after Qin Shuang left, three boys walked into the classroom.

The one in the lead was none other than the school bully Zhang Bin, who often bullied Han Wu.

Zhang Bin walked straight to Han Wu's desk. "Han Wu, did you bring the 100 Divine Power I asked you to prepare?"

Two lackeys trailing behind Zhang Bin chimed in, "Hand it over quickly, don't make us do it ourselves!"

"Hand it over, or we'll smash your Divine Realm's core and ensure you never get anywhere!"

Seeing this, the classmates in the room not only didn't step forward to help, but instead watched the commotion with great interest.

Han Wu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, The original owner really had terrible popularity.

He looked up at Zhang Bin and the other two. "You want Divine Power? I don't have any. I have a life, do you want it?"
