Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu saw the notification which had come at the right time.

"Perfect! Start it system!" Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

INITIATING: Bloodline assimilation

——

Lin Wu observed the avatar and found it to be trembling. Its aura kept on fluctuating and wavering. This continued on for a few minutes until the avatar started to swell in size.

'Is this fine?' Lin Wu wondered but saw no warning from the system, making him think that it was.

The avatar swelled in size by nearly 50% before it stopped. At that moment though, its surface started to change and became dry.

~DING~

——

NOTIFICATION: Chrysalis formation initiated

VITALS: Fluctuating

AVATAR INTEGRITY: 98%

——

"Oh? So it's actually forming a cocoon." Lin Wu was intrigued.

It wasn't out of the norm though, as among the many bloodlines that had been used by the system, there were several insect beast bloodlines, too. In fact, in addition to the 165+ that the system had used as the major bloodlines, there were actually several thousand more beast bloodlines!

But those were either too weak and inferior to use, or were just lower ranked versions of the ones the system already had. Thus, they weren't particularly used as the baseline, but some of their features might still be used in it all.

Lin Wu had no idea what the newly formed bloodline would be, or what kind of features it would have, but he was certainly looking forward to it.

His spirit sense scanned the cocoon and felt the tissues within it changing rapidly. They morphed and transformed while a lot of spirit Qi and vital energy was being used at the same time.

'This might just use up all the spirit Qi and vital energy that the avatar had. Thankfully, I'm going to be using it for direct consumption after this anyway.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Lin Wu continued observing the avatar and found a new kind of change.

~SHUA~

The energy fluctuations coming from the avatar changed and instead of just normal non elemental spirits Qi, different elements started to appear.

The cocoon suddenly lit up in flames before freezing and then it made the earth around it crack. Winds stirred around it for a moment, before a sharp aura rose in the next. Its vitality became vibrant like a forest during spring and then became as still as a rock that had existed for millenniums.

But among all these changes, there was one that caught Lin Wu's eyes the most.

The avatar suddenly dimmed, and it felt like it was disappearing. But this was only momentary and it soon became bright again.

When Lin Wu saw this, his smiled widened even more.

"Perfect… if it really is that, then I'll have an easier time pretending… hahaha~" Lin Wu chuckled.

The process lasted for over six hours, during which several updates were given by system. Lin Wu monitored them closely, hoping that no major problem happened. There were some issues that were a bit damaging to the avatar, but the system managed to resolve them in the end.

The compatibility between multiple bloodlines like this was 0 normally. But with the system's modification, it had reached an acceptable level. Still, despite all the simulations it had done, doing it practically was still vastly different.

Thus some problems were bound to arise.

~HUA~

Eventually, though, the process was completed, and the cocoon became still.

~DING~

——

BLOODLINE ASSIMILATION: Completed

NOTIFICATION: Chrysalis is now hatching!

——

Lin Wu watched on as several cracks appeared on the cocoon.

~KACHA~ KACHA~ KACHA~

The cracks continued to spread and became deeper until a thin membrane was visible. The membrane was blood red in color and was rather sticky and wet.

"That looks rather visceral…" Lin Wu couldn't help but say.

~SLICK~

And just as he said that, the red fleshy membrane seemingly ripped as well and fluids came out spilling from it.

~splat~

The thick fluid leaked out from the tears of the membrane and through the cracks in the cocoon.

~CRACK~

Finally, the cracks had spread all over the cocoon and it all crumbled into hundreds of fragments.

The body of the avatar instinctively moved and shook the flesh and crumbling croon off it, allowing Lin Wu to observe it. He didn't switch to the avatar directly, as he was warned by the system to first let the avatar stabilize for a bit.

Even if it looked fine on the surface and stayed the same for a while, there was always a chance it might become chaotic all of a sudden.

It was similar to testing a new drug. There might be delayed effects that one didn't know of.

"This… is certainly different…" Lin Wu had few words upon seeing the avatar.

The avatar's body had increased in size and was covered in fluids right now.

~shua~

Lin Wu waved his tail and a wave of water poured onto the avatar, washing away the fluids that were covering it. Once that was done, the true appearance was left for Lin Wu to witness.

The avatar's dark brown body had become completely black now. The segments had also become less apparent, with the chitinous plates on it disappearing entirely. Instead of the large chitinous plates that were more like a carapace, there were now countless small scale like structures on the surface of the avatar.

The scales were about ten centimeters in size at maximum and less than a centimeter in size at the smallest. But that was not all, as these scales would move and twitch every so often, making it seem like they weren't fully 'attached'.

Lin Wu could tell that there was a fundamental difference in them, and they weren't really scales.

The head of the avatar was also a bit different now, other than the fact that it was still mostly mouth. The sharp teeth had multiplied in number and several tentacles could also be seen among them.

In addition to this, tusk like large teeth now grew from the edges of the avatar's mouth. Then there were the multiple eyes that were surrounding the mouth's circumference. Lin Wu counted them and found there to be fifty of them!
