Clay referred to them as the “Toxic Swarm.”

These creatures were communal life forms, in a constant state of death and division, much like human cells, metabolizing at an exceptionally high rate.

Therefore, Levi needed to consistently feed them large amounts of toxins or flesh to ensure the vitality of the Toxic Swarm.

Otherwise, without a continuous source of energy, these undead beings would eventually wither away.

Although they were a low-quality version of the Totem Insect, it had to be admitted that Levi was quite impressed by the power of this Toxic Swarm.

After parasitizing a host, the Toxic Swarm could give birth to a venomous body impervious to blades and spears. It could transform into a terrifying poisonous cloud that devoured everything. Moreover, it could induce the host to undergo a splitting rebirth. However, each regeneration required a substantial amount of energy.

Initially, Clay had planned to use self-detonation to merge his flesh and soul with the Toxic Swarm. He intended to rely on the swarm to devour a town of mortals and, in turn, regenerate using the energy obtained from them.

Even though this would result in a decline in realms, at least it would secure his life.

“It’s akin to a low-quality Scarlet Poison Body,” Levi evaluated in his mind.

Levi planned to keep the Toxic Swarm for an extended period, awaiting a thorough understanding of the ‘Mixed Venom True Form” body-refining technique.

He hoped to subdue it, enhancing his capabilities in the process.

Of course, the immediate priority was to see if he could rescue Emperor Mu from the accursed control of the totem insect.

According to Clay’s research, the so-called “Golden Spine Bone” was actually known as the “Golden Aberration Insect,” a type of Terror Bug that frequently parasitized powerful organisms.

This particular insect had likely been partially purified by the Bug Luminist but not entirely cleansed.

Levi speculated that the generations of Golden Blood in the Golden Family might be linked to this Golden Aberration Insect.

The Terror Bug probably parasitized the youngling of the Golden Horn Beast, storing some Golden Horn bloodline in the process.

Upon possessing the ancestor of the Gregor Family, the Golden Aberration Insect fortuitously endowed the Gregor Family’s ancestor with bloodline power.

The so-called “Golden Horn Breathing Technique” likely originated from that period.

Thus, the Golden Blood was, in reality, the blood of the Golden Horn. The Golden Aberration Insect played a crucial role in creating and perpetuating the Golden Family throughout the generations.

Gregor might have realized this, setting sail into the distant seas, far away from civilization.

With Gregor’s demise, the Golden Aberration Insect was buried in the deep sea, steadily weakening until Emperor Mu’s arrival provided it with an opportunity to possess him.

This entity undoubtedly possessed intelligence, using the allure of the Golden Bloodline to lead Emperor Mu step by step into the abyss, under its control until Emperor Mu lost control.

“With Emperor Mu’s realm, he stands no chance against this Golden Aberration Insect, even if it appears to be weakened and in its youngling stage.”

According to the book, as of the time the compiler wrote it, the Bug Luminist civilization had evolved to the ninth level in the Multidimensional Plane, a standard set by wizards to assess the strength of different systems in the Multidimensional Plane.

Wizard civilization, surpassing the ninth level due to the birth of Legendary Wizards, and the abyss were exceptions.

Referring to the wizard civilization system, the ninth level equated to the standard of a ninth-circle Grand Wizard.

The compiler, likely a powerful but Nameless figure who had traveled from the Wizard World to the Otharian plane, stated that the Bug Luminist categorized the strength of Totem Insects based on the Terror Bug’s level system.

Worker Bugs, Soldier Bugs, General Bugs, King Bugs, and the superior Mother Bugs corresponded to the low-level, intermediate-level, high-level, Grand Wizard, and Legendary tiers of the wizard civilization.

The Golden Aberration Insect fell under the General Bugs category, with its youngling stage starting at level one and its strength potential ranging from level six to level eight.

In other words, if a Bug Luminist chose the Golden Aberration Insect as their totem insect, they would initially possess strength equivalent to a first-circle wizard. Through potions, materials, and Totem Arts, the Bug Luminist had the potential to advance to a realm comparable to a high-level wizard.

unlike spiritual Beasts, totem Insects could evolve tnrougn devouring one another.

The twelve King Bugs and Mother Bugs that devastated the Otharian Empire emerged from the carnage of their own world.

For totem insects, the strength ceiling could be shattered, albeit through a challenging process.

After making the necessary preparations, Levi focused his attention on Emperor Mu within the container.

He opened the vessel, removing the suppression imposed by Clay’s specially crafted liquid.

The Golden Aberration Insect immediately revitalized, seizing control of Emperor Mu, who leaped out aggressively towards Levi.

Before Emperor Mu’s fist reached Levi, Tyrant Il swiftly caught and restrained him.

Bang.

Mechanical roars! Flames ignited!

Tyrant Il executed a powerful shoulder throw, slamming Emperor Mu to the ground.

The Golden Aberration Insect grinned maliciously as golden energy poured into Emperor Mu, covering him in a radiant golden glow.

“I once thought this was the divine power of the Golden Horn Breathing

Technique. Alas, it turns out you were behind this mischief,” Levi remarked.

Personally intervening, Levi’s scaly hand gripped the Golden Aberration Insect on Emperor Mu’s back..
