Thinking of this, Zhou Huai's heart once again began to pound uncontrollably.
A swarm of insects that can breathe Dragon’s Breath?
A swarm of insects with the Physique of a Dragon?
A swarm of insects that can immune physical attacks and elentalize their bodies?
Countless possibilities instantly flashed through Zhou Huai's mind.
Each one sent shivers down his spine!
This was no longer a simple matter of becoming stronger.
This was creating a new, terrifying race with infinite possibilities!
There was no ti to lose.
He quickly focused his thoughts, beginning to na this Clone that was destined to shake the world.
As the first SSS-Class Profession user in his hands, he must have a na worthy of his status.
It took a full two and a half minutes.
A word filled with conquest and dominance finally erged in Zhou Huai's mind.
Caesar!
From now on, there is only one Great Emperor in this world!
That is I, Emperor Caesar!
The System prompted: Naming successful! Clone ‘Caesar’ created.
The System prompted: Please shape the appearance of Clone ‘Caesar’.
Zhou Huai pondered for a mont, and a clear image gradually ford in his mind.
He wanted not a mortal king, but a Dominator of the swarm, transcending all things.
A head of platinum-blonde long hair, purer and more dazzling than Moria’s silver hair, like condensed moonlight, casually draped over his shoulders.
His skin was a cold white, almost transparent, with visible veins, yet exuding an inhuman texture, like the finest mutton-fat jade.
His facial features were deep and handso, every line sculpted with the utmost care by a deity, perfect beyond reproach.
The most unique feature was his eyes.
They were a pair of compound eyes, as transparent as athyst, with countless tiny facets reflecting cold light, devoid of any human emotion.
Only absolute rationality and indifference to all things.
He wore a luxurious, pitch-black robe, its material neither silk nor satin, but more like polished carapace of so unknown insect, with dark golden mysterious patterns flowing across its surface, possessing both the majesty of a king and the brutal beauty of biological armor.
The System prompted: Clone ‘Caesar’ appearance shaping successful!
The System prompted: Clone generating, please wait...
This wait was longer than any previous one.
A full two hours passed.
The System prompted: SSS-Class Clone ‘Insect Emperor · Caesar’ has been generated!
Zhou Huai eagerly summoned Caesar.
Buzz—!
Space slightly twisted.
The figure with platinum-blonde hair silently appeared in the bedroom.
He stood there quietly, even more aloof than Moria.
Moria’s lancholy was an aloofness that kept people at a distance.
Caesar, however, was pure indifference.
As if all things in the world were no different from dust in his eyes, not worth an ounce of his attention.
The light in the room seed to be absorbed by his athyst-like compound eyes the mont he appeared, becoming dim.
Zhou Huai closed his eyes, his consciousness instantly sinking into Caesar’s body.
It was completely different from the feeling of controlling other Clones.
There was none of Yaso’s sharpness, none of Xiang Yu’s dominance.
Only an absolute sense of control, as if he had beco a collection of a vast will, every thought able to mobilize billions of living beings.
He slowly raised his right hand, adorned with a black carapace glove, and lightly drew it across the air in front of him.
Tear—!
A pitch-black spatial rift silently opened.
The other end of the rift was the 【Insect Race Space】 exclusive to the Insect Emperor.
It was a boundless biological nest, composed of dark purple flesh and black carapaces.
Giant fleshy tubes, like gnarled blood vessels, covered the do and floor of the nest, slowly pulsating, transporting viscous dark green liquid.
The air was filled with a rich, sweet, and pungent sll, similar to pheromones.
On the floor of the nest, fist-sized fleshy tumors were rapidly swelling and bursting.
Each ti a tumor burst, a ferocious, pitch-black Soldier Beetle, the size of a fingernail, crawled out.
They shook their thin wings, then joined the black stream of countless peers on the ground, orderly crawling towards a dark corner in the distance.
One per second.
Never stopping.
Zhou Huai’s mind stirred.
A newly hatched Soldier Beetle imdiately detached from the main group, flapping its thin wings, and flew out of the spatial rift.
It obediently landed in Caesar’s palm.
Na: Soldier Beetle
Rank: LV1
Strength: 3
ntal Energy: 3
Agility: 3
Physique: 3
Skill: Bite LV1 (Attacks the enemy with sharp mouthparts.)
Previously, when Zhou Huai saw such insects, he would only feel disgust.
But now, looking at the small, dark creature in his hand, he felt an unusual sense of closeness.
He extended a finger, carefully touching the Soldier Beetle’s smooth, hard carapace.
“Little fellow, are you hungry?”
Caesar’s lips curved into a cold arc.
“Co, Master will take you to have a good al.”
As his voice fell, he took a step, leaving the Ye Family Manor directly, and floated towards the East City Gate...
Outside the East City Gate, it had long been reduced to scorched earth.
As it was uncertain whether the beast horde would return, the surviving residents in the city still stayed in the temporary camp near the Ye Family Manor, not daring to go out.
So this vast ruin was exceptionally silent at the mont.
Caesar’s figure moved like a ghost, Walk through among the broken walls and ruins, without making any sound.
Soon, the massive headless Dragon corpse appeared in his sight.
Despite having been dead for two days and two nights, the enormous carcass still emitted terrifying high temperatures, scorching the surrounding air into distortion.
Zhou Huai controlled Caesar, slowly approaching the edge of the giant pit.
It took him half an hour to get here from the Ye Family Manor.
And in that half an hour, 1,800 new Soldier Beetles had hatched in the 【Insect Race Space】.
With a thought from him.
Buzz—!
Dense black specks, like a breached ant colony, surged frantically from the spatial rift behind him!
They converged into a black torrent, emitting a dense, scalp-tingling hum, sweeping towards the massive Dragon corpse at the bottom of the giant pit!
However, the carcass of a Hell-level BOSS was not so easy to devour.
“Sizzle—!”
The hundreds of Soldier Beetles at the forefront, upon touching the Dragon corpse’s scorching flesh, were instantly ignited by the terrifying high temperature, turning into wisps of smoke, leaving no charcoal behind.
But Zhou Huai did not give the order to retreat.
The energy remaining in the Dragon corpse was the best nourishnt for the Soldier Beetles’ evolution.
Once the body completely cooled, the effect would be greatly reduced.
Death was the price that must be paid for evolution.
Subsequent Soldier Beetles, fearless of death, stepped on the dissipated ashes of their companions, rushing forward one after another!
They avoided the areas with the highest temperature, drilled into the Dragon corpse’s huge wounds, and frantically tore at the flesh containing vast energy with their sharp mouthparts!
“Crunch! Crunch!”
The dense gnawing sounds were incessant.
Although Soldier Beetles continued to die in the high temperature.
Finally, the first Soldier Beetle that successfully devoured enough Dragon blood began to undergo a strange transformation!
Its originally pitch-black carapace rapidly faded at a visible speed, replaced by a scorching crimson!
Its body also suddenly swelled by a circle, reaching the size of a thumb!
More violent light flickered in its blood-red compound eyes!
Next, ca the second, the third... As ti passed, more and more Soldier Beetles completed their tamorphosis!
They no longer feared the terrifying high temperature, like spirits bathing in magma, drilling in and out of the massive Dragon corpse, feasting heartily!
So Soldier Beetles, after devouring the flesh of the Dragon’s throat, even opened their tiny mouthparts and spewed out wisps of small flas!
Zhou Huai watched all this, and a satisfied light flashed in his athyst-like compound eyes.
This evolution speed was even faster than he had ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) imagined.
