Douluo: Transforming Xiao Wu into a Zerg Queen Was Just the Beginning Chapter 58 - 58 – Tier-4 Hive! The Overmind Ascends

Bibi Dong pondered for a long ti, but no clear answer erged.

After all, the number of Titled Douluo across the entire continent was limited.

Eliminating those unrelated to her or already in allegiance, the list of potential adversaries beca clear.

A glint of cold light flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes as she stared into the distance, lost in thought.

Was this sohow related to you, Qian Daoliu?

Although he had remained silent when she assassinated Qian Xunji and smoothly ascended to the position of Pope, Bibi Dong had never believed Qian Daoliu truly accepted it without resentnt.

If it was him...

She clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white as her nails dug into the flesh of her palms.

Endure. Endure. Endure again.

She had endured for so many years. Was she to continue doing so?

She asked herself this repeatedly. But when she thought about Qian Daoliu's status as an Ultimate Douluo...

A deep sense of powerlessness washed over her. Even if it was him—what could she possibly do?

Bibi Dong remained silent, uncertain of her next move.

After a long pause, she finally said, "Understood. Right now, the priority is locating the Saintess. I'll have Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo accompany you back to the Star Dou Forest."

"You must find any trace of her."

Snake Lance Douluo shuddered. She was sending three Titled Douluo?

Clearly, Her Holiness placed extre importance on the Saintess.

He imdiately bowed and responded, "By your will!"

With a wave of her hand, Bibi Dong dismissed Snake Lance Douluo.

The cathedral once again returned to eerie silence.

Thinking of Qian Renxue, an intense wave of disgust rose in Bibi Dong's heart.

Her expression twisted, growing cold and venomous.

If not for Qian Daoliu's status—and the group of Elders and Titled Douluo loyal to Qian Renxue—why would she bother worrying about her at all?

In truth, Bibi Dong wished Qian Renxue would just die in soone else's hands.

Even though Qian Renxue was her biological daughter, Bibi Dong had never truly accepted her—not with Qian Xunji's blood running through her veins.

The entire Spirit Hall may believe otherwise, but Bibi Dong had never changed her view.

Especially after Qian Renxue learned that her father was killed by Bibi Dong—their relationship had completely collapsed.

BOOM—!

A thunderous crash echoed through the cathedral.

A heavy sigh followed.

Star Dou Forest – Inside the Hive Cluster

Lin Fan stared up at the towering Spore Pod, his excitent mounting with every second.

It wasn't his first ti upgrading a hive, but this ti... this ti was different.

After reaching Tier-4, the Hive would undergo a qualitative transformation—

A transformation crucial to his next steps in infiltrating Douluo Continent.

As the countdown neared zero, the silhouette of the Tier-4 Hive within the massive pod beca increasingly defined.

Schlurp—!

A violent tearing sound echoed.

Chunks of decayed, molten biomass peeled from the towering Spore Pod, crashing into the Creep below.

A colossal, terrifying structure of purple and black erged before Lin Fan—towering nearly 100 ters tall, wide and imposing.

It stood dominant on the Creep, taking up nearly half the Hive Cluster.

Twisting around the Tier-4 Hive were grotesque sculptures—massive, worm-like forms, grotesquely thick and serpentine, wrapped tightly around the structure like constricting pythons. They pulsated and writhed as if alive.

Just looking at this building filled Lin Fan with imnse psychological pressure.

The Hive looked like a monstrous beast, crouched within the Cluster, rising and falling with each breath.

For a mont, Lin Fan's vision blurred. The Hive, pulsing with life, truly resembled a living creature now.

Of course, Zerg structures were technically alive, but the Hive... the Hive was sothing more.

It wasn't just a building—it was a true organism.

He wouldn't be surprised if, soday, it could rip itself from the ground and follow him into battle.

[Tier-4 Hive complete.]

[New functions unlocked:]

[New Zerg Unit: Infestor]

[New Zerg Unit: Nydus Worm]

[New Zerg Unit: Thorabeast (Note: insufficient gene samples; evolution currently unavailable)]

[New Zerg Unit: Queen]

[New Zerg Structure: Research Lab]

[...]

The rapid-fire notifications from the Hive Mind sent a surge of euphoria through Lin Fan.

It felt amazing. From head to toe.

"Holy crap! This is insane!"

He couldn't help but shout aloud. That ten million energy investnt? Absolutely worth it.

The benefits of this upgrade were even greater than he'd imagined.

Looking at the newly available Zerg units—so familiar from his past life—Lin Fan's mind imdiately began piecing together a massive new battle plan.

The so-called Upper Three Sects? Spirit Beasts? Titled Douluo?

Let them co.

Let them all embrace the glory of the Zerg.

But what excited Lin Fan the most wasn't the new units—it was the Overmind Enhancent he received with each Hive upgrade.

Last ti, his physical strength had reached the 9,999-year spirit beast level.

What kind of power would he unlock this ti?

He could barely imagine it.

Suppressing his excitent, he quickly gave the command:

"Hive Mind! Begin Overmind Enhancent imdiately!"

[As you command.]

BOOM—!

Massive organic tubes burst from the Creep, snaking toward Lin Fan and impaling into his body one by one.

At the sa ti, strands of pulsating flesh slowly spread up from his legs, wrapping around his body completely.

Lin Fan blinked in surprise.

"Hive Mind, aren't we using the Brood Pit this ti? No incubation chamber either?"

[Tier-4 enhancent involves full-scale restructuring of the Overmind's flesh.]

[A bio-cocoon will be ford directly from Creep using massive energy. Do not worry, Overmind.]

Lin Fan nodded in understanding.

As they spoke, more blood-vein strands surged forth from the Creep, winding tightly around his body.

Then—

Splash!

BZZZZ—!

Dozens of genetic fluids were injected into his body through the bio-threads.

Gold. Green. Purple.

The cocoon around Lin Fan shimred with rainbow hues as the genetic fluids rged into his bloodstream, his bones, his organs—even his skull.

Every inch of his flesh was infused with alien DNA.

At the sa ti, an excruciating pain erupted from the depths of his soul, tearing through his mind.

"AAAAAARGHHH!!"

Humanity is weak. Flesh must ascend.

Genetic evolution waits for no one.
