Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"Even this form has changed quite a bit, eh?" Lin Wu muttered as he looked at the avatar's form in the mirrored window.

He was now in his organic form, which was technically his original form. The crystalline form was actually due to his skill, Cellular crystallization being active the entire time. Thankfully, the skill was versatile and after initial activation for transforming, it would stay on passively and wouldn't need any effort from him.

Plus, the benefits offered by the crystalline form were rather good too. Thus, Lin Wu almost never had a reason to stay in his organic form.

"Though now… it's the perfect time to use it." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he observed the avatar.

The chitinous armor was dark brown in color, with the interlacing segment covering being black in color. His eyes were every different in this form, being stuck deep into the top of his head.

They were also much smaller than his crystalline form and weren't red either, instead being a pale yellow in color. There were no pupils in his eyes either.

His mouth also occupied most of his head in this organic form, unlike the crystalline form which had a more 'serpentine' look.

'This really is the more 'worm' look,' Lin Wu reckoned.

And While the organic form was a bit weaker than the crystalline form, the major difference was mostly in defensive capability. The other abilities that Lin Wu had were still there, such as rapid regeneration.

"Hmm… I can still use radiation perception as normal, but manipulation it is difficult in this form. What other difference is there?" Lin Wu wondered about this organic form.

He knew that several changes had occurred as his cultivation base had grown and he now realized that he was a bit too unfamiliar with it all.

"Time to do some tests then!" Lin Wu quickly teleported to an empty hall with reinforced walls and began his barrage of abilities and skills.

Two hours later, he had mostly grasped the difference in the two forms' abilities and was clear about them.

"So then… the difference basically is that my organic form has an even higher regeneration rate than my crystalline form. At least without the use of the stored energy and the system's help.

My speed is also higher in this form, with my weight being about 25% less. My flexibility is higher, but I cannot morph like my crystal form to change shapes and adapt." Lin Wu summarized.

He thought over them for a bit before realizing that this might not be enough.

'If I've to use this form for the plan, I need to improve it. I cannot use the crystalline form and the organic form is the best chance at it.' Lin Wu thought.

After a few minutes, he thought to one of the system functions that he had not used in a long, long time: Bloodline Synthesis.

Lin Wu had only used it a few times in the past. And even then, he had only used its full capabilities once when he had added the Hard Eared Limber Mouse King's bloodline to his own.

Though he has used the ability partially when he had assimilated the Vermillion Bird Bloodline fragment.

The resistance offered by that bloodline carried over in his organic form as well, along with the ability to manipulate flames. In fact, Lin Wu's organic form had small holes all around the rim of his mouth that were covered with a hard membrane.

These holes could open up and spew out flames. Though their original function was as olfactory organs and enhanced his sense of smell.

Lin Wu could also move these small holes all over his body, while keeping them hidden and use them as a surprise attack. Cellular morphing on a small level like this was no issue, even in his organic form.

But even with all this, the organic form was lacking for the mission it was to complete.

"Alright system, gather all the Bloodline data and extrapolate all the beneficial traits of those bloodlines for the organic form." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

TASK ASSIGNED: Bloodline analysis and extrapolation

PARAMETERS SET: 165+ Bloodlines selected

ANALYZING: Please Wait patiently…

It was certainly a tall order and even the system didn't know how long it would take it to finish the task. After all, not only did it need to find the best traits but also ensure that they were compatible.

Lin Wu would not have done this such bloodline synthesis if this was his main body as he wanted only the best ones to be used for that. Additionally, there was also the issue of the unknown bloodline.

The unknown bloodline had not reached its full potential yet and only after Lin Mu consumed the original beast that it belonged to would it be fully stable. Thus, until that was done, there was always a chance of unknown bloodline interactions happening that could be detrimental to him.

But the avatar didn't have this problem, as it didn't have the Unknown bloodline. It only had the Crimson Eyed Emerald Worm bloodline.

'I'll use the avatar as a sandbox for now. Even if problems happen, it is something that is expendable to me and I can still make a new one later on. The cost won't matter much in the long term anyway.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Having set this task, Lin Wu let go of the avatar and returned his mind to the main body.

"This will take a while… I may as well return to cultivating." Lin Wu said as he closed his eyes and began the session.

It was not until about a year later did the system finally finish the task that it had been assigned.

~DING~

ANALYSIS COMPLETED: Data Extrapolated successful!

Lin Wu was woken up from his trance, only to realize that it had been a year.

"What the fuck… time is really nothing when you cultivate fully…" Lin Wu was left a little speechless.
