With the passage of time, the time recorded in the [Tools Menu] is approaching a year, but in fact it must have taken much longer than a year for him to pupate.

Because of the serial dreams in the original chrysalis coma, Systm didn't know how long he had been in a chrysalis.

Systm just felt the fluid formed in his body gradually solidifying.

Based on his experience in nurturing ant people, Heatham knew that his chrysalis was almost over.

And on such a day, Systham finally heard that distinctive hum again, the voice of the world.

This time, Sistemm did not appear in that white space with the sound of the world, but only received an inexplicable power.

This power made Syst tremble unconsciously, and made Heatham feel extremely comfortable.

Sistum's mind was inexplicably filled with a little more knowledge, and he finally knew the fundamental difference between the so-called mortal and magical life.

Rank mortal things and rank transformation belong to the same level of life of mortal things.

Among them, mortals can hardly grasp the magical power, or even if they use the magical power, the magical power is extremely weak.

Metamorphosis can simply absorb or use a certain kind of free energy, and then use magical powers, such as using fire, or casting thunder and lightning.

This transformation rank can also be called the awakening rank or the apprentice and apprentice rank, the former is for monsters or warlocks who have awakened the power of the ancestral bloodline, and the latter is some intelligent races that have learned to understand and use magical powers, such as mage apprentices, or apprentice warriors.

Magical life, on the other hand, is a higher level of existence for mortal things.

Magical beings can still borrow and absorb free energy, and are more skilled in using energy than mortals.

But the biggest difference between magical life and mortal things is not the use of power, but the existence of magical life represents the magical power itself.

Even if they don't absorb or borrow the energy that is free from the air, they can exert magical powers.

And after getting this information, Heatham finally knew.

In the Warren Plains, where frost energy is extremely scarce, the butterfly that Aura remnant turns into can use hundreds of times his frost energy, indicating that Aura should not be mortal.

Although he has only pupated twice, it is likely that Ora has become a magical being.

……

After a brief moment of thought, the gelatin in Systham's body continued to tremble unconsciously for a few minutes, and his comfortable body finally regained its calm.

Heatham knew that his level lock had been broken, and as long as he broke out of the chrysalis, he would have a new level cap and become a magical being.

And the core of his magical power is [Perception] and [Mind Transmission].

Level: 15/?

Life span:??

The information from the [Tools Menu] does not fully determine the maximum level of Sistum and the newly acquired lifespan, but Sistm has a rough idea of a range.

His level cap should be between 80 and 130, and the exact value will change depending on the completion of [Pupa], which is not entirely certain at this time.

His lifespan is the same, he will gain a lifespan of between 60 and 250 years, becoming a relatively long-lived species, but the specific lifespan will depend on his subsequent [pupation].

In [pupae], the process of the body gradually solidifying from the gum to forming a new body is particularly important, and often has a huge impact on insects.

However, how exactly he needs to condense his body, Heatham is not very clear.

All Sistemm could do was wait quietly, and as long as he waited like this, his chrysalis would be completed naturally.

……

Time passed little by little, just when Systm thought that he would just condense in his body and then logically burst out of the chrysalis.

A buzzing sound appeared in Systham's mind again, and an inexplicable sensation appeared throughout Systham's body, and soon a system prompt from [Tools Menu] followed.

Bite! You have earned the title "Insect Lord".

……

"Insect Lord": A title given to Sistm by an unknown being. When your loyal Insect Folk are near you, your Insect Folk gain [Fighting Spirit], [Abnormal Resistance].

Even if you don't have a real territory, you have people who are absolutely loyal to you.

……

Not long after receiving the title, the gel inside the Sistem's chrysalis quickly wriggled and condensed into his flesh at an extremely rapid rate.

Systm found that this process of transforming colloidal matter into flesh was very close to the [Body-Glial Transformation] ability that he wanted to activate.

But he didn't make Heatham think more, and a chime interrupted Heatham's thoughts again.

Sistemm had just received the activation inspiration for [Body-Glial Transformation], but he didn't expect that his body had already gained this ability in the process of pupating.

Bite! You gain the derivative ability [Body-Glial Transformation] (11/17).

……

[Somatic Transformation] (11/17): A derivative ability obtained from [Pupa], [Body Deformation], [Plague Slime], and [Insect Adaptability]. Parts of the body can be converted into [Plague Slime].

……

After a cursory glance at the [Body-Glia Conversion] message, Systm felt his body intently.

As his body hardened, Systham gradually regained his senses.

His tentacles grew enough to hear subtle movements around him, and he even heard the familiar heartbeat of Shava not far away.

Sistum's eyes gradually regained their hardness, because of the see-through ability of [Sistum's eyes], Sistemm could see through the outer wall of the chrysalis and see the blurred scenes around him, and the empty room he was in seemed to have been transformed by the excavator to become even larger.

The final stage of breaking out of the chrysalis seemed to be surprisingly fast, and the flesh and blood of Systham's body coagulated at an extremely fast speed, and soon Systm felt the breath inside the chrysalis.

Sistem's ability to use [Carapace Spikes] was extremely natural, and spikes grew at the ends of dozens of his tentacles, and the shell of the chrysalis was easily shredded by Sistm.

Systham was finally able to gaze at his chrysalis at this point.

Excluding the tentacles, he could still vaguely find the shadow of the grasshopper on his body, but except for the joints of his head, his chest and abdomen joints had disappeared, and the entire chest and abdomen were connected, and some snake-like scales and carapaces appeared on the soft abdomen.

His appearance was more hideous than it had been before his chrysalis, with many spikes appearing on his exoskeleton, and Systm noticed that his body had more tentacles.

Some of these tentacles are ordinary tentacles, some are foot tentacles with carapaces, the foot tentacles covering the carapace are thicker, and the ordinary tentacles are more slender, and these tentacles cover all parts of his body evenly, some resemble a combination of grasshoppers and octopuses.

Sistemm counted roughly, and the tentacles of his limbs had become thirty-six.

Instead of looking at his body, Heatham turned his gaze to the figure to the side, reaching out a tentacle and touching the figure's head.

"Sorry, it's been a little longer to pupate."
