The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307: Chapter 307 Problem With The Biochemical Agent

While it was true that this agent originated from the human world, just as Addison had suspected, the Royal Alchemist had discovered that it was far too dangerous.

The biochemical wasn’t selective; it would harm not only the insects but the environment itself. Used on any territory, it would act like a weapon, rendering the land barren and preventing crops from growing for decades.

When he heard what Addison said, he couldn’t help but share what he had uncovered about the biochemical agent after studying it for a while.

"Princess, I believe your idea is truly a good one. The biochemical we obtained is far too potent to be used again, especially on someone else’s territory. It doesn’t only kill pests, it could also kill the very soil of the West. If that happens, it would bring about a devastating end for all of us."

He pressed his lips together after delivering the news, aware of how heavily everyone was relying on this biochemical to eliminate the locusts in the West.

Addison frowned. "So, you’re saying it would be best not to use this biochemical agent? But if we don’t, then how are we supposed to kill the entire locust swarm? The mages here can’t even cast offensive spells against them; maintaining the barrier already drains most of their mana." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"And even if they tried, it’s useless. The locusts fly too fast, dodging every attack with ease. That’s why the mages agreed the only solution was to trap them inside the barrier and wipe them out in one strike with the biochemical agent..."

Her voice grew sharper with frustration as she laid bare the grim circumstances of the West.

"That’s true, Princess. And if what you said about the barrier is accurate, then we really don’t have the time to develop a pesticide that meets your requirements, a biochemical that won’t harm the soil’s fertility, endanger animals, or put people at risk, and will only target the locusts."

"Creating something that precise would demand extensive research into the insects’ bodies and glands, along with countless trials and errors. It could take months, even years, to complete."

"So, it seems we have no choice but to use the biochemical we already have. But the outcome won’t be good; the soil’s fertility will suffer, and that territory might not be able to grow crops for decades. The land itself would die..." the lead researcher said grimly.

"Don’t worry, Princess. I, the Royal Alchemist, have finished analyzing the biochemical sample. But to be honest, the treatment agent I can create from it... I can only say I have about sixty percent confidence it will work."

"Even then, it would take a long time, perhaps years, before that territory could be restored to its former state and the pack could safely return to farm there again."

His voice lowered as he spoke, his face gradually reddening. He is the Royal Alchemist, praised as a genius, someone who had achieved feats most older alchemists couldn’t accomplish even at the end of their lives.

Yet even he was stumped by this biochemical agent. That alone spoke of its danger. But what was even more alarming was the implication: if they truly used this agent on the largest granary in the West, and if it took years to heal the land, wouldn’t that mean the kingdom’s food supply would be crippled for years to come?

The Royal Alchemist hesitated, his expression tightening. "Actually, Princess... there is indeed an important ingredient missing from my formula. And, there is something else you should know about this biochemical agent." His gaze shifted toward the Alpha King and Queen, as if even they were about to hear this truth for the very first time.

And sure enough—it was. Really bad.

"Um..." The Royal Alchemist hesitated before finally speaking, his tone heavy. "I discovered that the main ingredient isn’t a chemical at all, it’s actually ’Corrupted Energy’ from the demon realm."
