The newly born ant queen is at level 2, the same level as Lolo at the time of her death. Of course, Lolo is somewhat hazy about the events leading to her death, and at this moment, she is immersed in the joy of suddenly becoming a level 2 mutated beast.
Her perception power involuntarily focused on the skills she possesses. The original F-grade skill has long since disappeared, replaced by two complex high-level skills.
Heart of the Swarm (Ant) (Race Foundation Level, Active Skill): As the most unique existence among the ant clan, possessing this skill allows the host to automatically control the life and death of all ant race entities. When the host encounters another ant colony, they can use this ability to actively erase the self-awareness of any ant life form, replacing it with their own will, thus achieving complete control over the life and death of the ant colony.
Note 1: The host with this skill can actively transfer their own consciousness to any ant controlled by the Heart of the Swarm.
(Strictly speaking, you are no longer a normal creature; you are merely a collective consciousness of a swarm of ants. As long as consciousness exists, you are Immortal, so things like a body seem less important...)
Note 2: All ants under the control of the Heart of the Swarm will share all skills of the swarm's master, and their own skills will not be extinguished. However, as a collective will of the swarm, you will not have any physical quality index and cannot reach a breaking limit state.
(Your true body is just a mass of consciousness; how could this kind of thing possess physical qualities as data?)
The complicated skill introduction left Lolo feeling dizzy. With Lolo's intelligence, it was difficult to grasp the specific function of this skill.
Mysterious information in her mind kindly provided an explanation: âYou can turn all the ants you encounter into your avatars, and there is no limit to the number.â
âThatâs more like it! It would have been better if you explained it like this earlierâŚâ
Lolo couldnât help but complain, still not understanding another key point of this skillâtransferring her will at will to achieve a state that could be considered Immortal.
According to Loloâs understanding, this ability should be her means of controlling the new ant colony below.
Having âunderstoodâ the Heart of the Swarm, Lolo turned her gaze to the second skill.
Negative Status Consciousness Collective (Race Foundation Level, Active Skill) (Derived from Heart of the Swarm): As a collective consciousness of the ant race, the host possesses powers that are unimaginable to normal creatures. Including the host's body (currently Lolo), every individual in the ant colony controlled by the Heart of the Swarm can devour a type of negative status (negative statuses include but are not limited to plague, viruses, curses, negative status skills with a duration, diseases, etc.). Once a negative status is devoured, it will reside within a single individual but can be used collectively by all ants under the control of the Heart of the Swarm, providing attack power enhancement for all ant races. Meanwhile, the host will absorb the energy from the negative status and convert it into nutrients for the collective consciousness to evolve.
Note 1: The will collective cannot evolve through normal means (absorbing magic crystals, extracting blood and flesh from demonic creatures); it can only meet evolution conditions by expanding the population or through special skills.
Note 2: A single individual within the swarm is not restricted by the level of the will collective; for example, the will collective may be level 5, but within the swarm, there can indeed be individuals at level 6! Additionally, individuals have physical quality attributes and can break limits.
Another skill that left Lolo baffledâŚ
The mysterious information in her mind seemed to be helpless with Lolo's confusion; this time, it didnât provide further explanations, merely issuing a lengthy, specific operational process.
