Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 984 The Target is the Queen Insect

Thor and Douglas's first visit was forced to a halt due to the sudden riot of the red worms.

Although the Stargate Council invited Thor to visit, it has no immediate plans to let Thor and Douglas take over any experiments or maintenance related to the Queen.

Thor knew it wasn't the right time yet, so he didn't insist and followed the guidance of the other wizards, leaving the underground base.

"What a pity," Douglas sighed, arms crossed.

"Don't worry, once the queen's condition stabilizes, we will invite you both to visit again as soon as possible."

Douglas smiled but didn't say anything.

Thor watched from the side and felt that Douglas's regret was not that he couldn't visit the Red Worm, but that he couldn't study Corey's mental power.

After all, Corey is now the main wizard stabilizing the Red Worms, and it's impossible for him to leave with Wizard Douglas.

"I'm going back now." Although Thor didn't get to observe the Queen up close, he did get some important information and planned to share it with Byron and the others when he got back.

After a polite greeting, Thor disappeared immediately.

The next second, Saul returned to Byron's residence.

Byron and the other consciousnesses did not leave; they waited in the room.

Knowing that Thor would be attending the Stargate Council's migration experiment today, they waited at home, hoping he would bring back firsthand information.

So when Thor suddenly appeared in front of Byron, Byron immediately stood up and asked, "How is it?"

"The experiment was feasible, but the soul inside didn't last long before it mutated. I tried to remove the contamination from the outer shell, but I failed."

Thor briefly explained the migration experiment before shifting the topic to the actions of the queen of the red worms.

"After the experiment was successful, the Stargate Council did indeed give us a reward. Murridge requested a tour of the Queen. The location was beneath the white warehouse in the underground base that Agu had visited. However, just as I saw the device used to contain the Queen, she suddenly rioted, and the tour was forced to stop."

Byron was indeed very excited upon hearing the news about the Red Worm Queen. He frowned, "Why would the Queen suddenly riot?"

"Perhaps it has something to do with me. But I can't be sure yet. However, I will try my best to see the Queen of Insects again as soon as possible. When that time comes, I will take you with me, and you... take the half-elf with you."

Byron paused, then asked, "You want the half-elf to enter the Queen's body?"

The red worm that Byron kept on his body, taller than any other person, was the body he had prepared for the half-elf.

But unexpectedly, Thor wanted the half-elf to enter the Queen's body.

"Isn't that too risky?"

"The situation we face now doesn't allow us to avoid taking risks. Moreover, the red worm has a queen, and it's very likely that it will follow her orders. Rather than taking a cautious approach, we might as well be more aggressive, after all, our enemy won't wait for us to develop slowly."

In the apocalypse of the dream, even Iskepar was plunged into the abyss, so the fate of the other two continents is probably no better.

Thor and the others in the dream must have made tremendous efforts to resist the Black Tide apocalypse.

Even so, they ultimately failed.

That means they weren't prepared enough, not enough for them to survive.

Let's go to an even more extreme point.

The inactivated red worms would cost a wizard their life to produce, and would also take a considerable amount of time. The quantity would certainly be unsatisfactory.

Then add the red worms that haven't died, and the number of red worms will at least double.

Although the inactivated red worms might not obey his commands, Thor only needed these cannon fodder to consume the Black Tide's powerful pollution, and didn't need them to be particularly obedient.

The inactivated red worms can then be used for fine-tuning to perform more delicate tasks.

Byron noticed Thor's suddenly somber expression and, without saying anything more, simply nodded and said, "Then I'll listen to you."

After a pause, Byron added, "I'll go and talk to the half-elf."

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Byron turned his head as if he had heard something, and then said, "He agreed."

Thor laughed.

It seems the half-elf also understands that if they really want to save the elven consciousnesses trapped in the world wall, simply parasitizing a tiny red worm is not enough.

The greater the potential reward, the greater the risk one must take.

After reaching an agreement, Thor summoned all the consciousness entities again.

"Next, you'll all need to get busy."

Beth, Wind Demon, Agu, and Herman all nodded in unison.

"Yes, Master."

Thor's gaze swept over the two people in front of him.

This time, even the two of them addressed him as "master" without reservation?

However, he didn't say anything, just nodded simply, "Go."

The four consciousnesses immediately departed in four different directions.

When Thor closes his eyes, he can feel their fate lines pulsating before him.

"Time is a bit tight... We need to expedite the Stargate Council's actions."

A month had passed since the first failed attempt to visit the Queen of Insects. During an experiment, Thor suddenly discovered the problem with the combination of the Red Worm and the Faceless Man materials, and directly transformed the original egg-shaped carrier into a worm-shaped one.

In other words, he transformed the red worm into a flesh-colored worm, much like the non-toxic vegetable worms found in the garden.

However, this change in external form directly raised the degree of fusion between the vessel and the wizard's soul to a new level.

Even Alec couldn't help but look at Thor in surprise several times.

"This improvement may seem like just a small parameter change during the fusion process, but in reality, it takes thousands or even tens of thousands of attempts to find a single effective improvement. How did you manage to find this parameter within a month?"

"I was lucky," Thor said frankly.

Anyway, he wouldn't say that he was just lucky and figured it out after trying it for half a month in his diary.

Douglas, standing to the side, smirked slightly, but quickly composed himself.

Alec knew that Thor didn't want to tell him the real reason, so he didn't press him further.

If time weren't so tight, and Stargate had a few years or even a decade to experiment with, it could have found this parameter. So the process by which Thor found it isn't actually that important.

"You've always been very lucky," Ali replied meaningfully.

"When will the practical experiments on third-tier wizards begin?" Thor asked.

He sped up the process, naturally hoping to accelerate the overall progress of the Stargate migration experiment so that he could obtain the Red Worm sooner.

"Of course, let's begin now." Alec didn't waste any time and immediately told Murridge to bring the third-tier wizard he had specified last time.

The unfortunate third-tier wizard was now prepared to have his soul leave his body.

Although he was pale when he was first assigned the task, a third-tier wizard is not particularly mentally fragile. He has adjusted his condition in the past few days and is preparing to face the experiment in his final state.

Only in this way can we increase the probability of returning alive.

The wizards of Stargate are exceptionally efficient. On the very afternoon that Thor completed the improvements, they had already prepared all the materials and facilities for the second practical experiment.

The group once again used the teleportation array to reach the location of the stargate in the extremely high sky—using the teleportation array was also a means for the Stargate Council to hide the location of the stargate.

Having already completed the initial adaptation to the new vessel, the third-tier wizard suddenly turned to Alick, manipulating his worm-like body, and pleaded, "Speaker, if I lose control and mutate like the wizard in the last experiment, could you save me? I will try my best to regain my sanity."

Alec didn't even glance at the test subject, replying calmly, "Okay."
