After years of research by Erin''s grandfather and father, they discovered that the thirty-even runes on the stone carvings actually represented all the gicbinations of the Mars bugs.


    As long as six of those runes were selected and arranged inbination, then the stone carvings would summon a unique and specially gifted creature from the void.


    Through studying those creatures, Erin''s grandfather and father understood their powers, so they delved deeper and deeper into their secrets. However, due to the unknown and dangerous nature of the research, Erin''s grandfather and father did not make it public.


    Eventually, their fears came true. When they discovered that the thirty-seventh rune on the stone carvings possessed special abilities, they inadvertently fell under the influence of a powerful consciousness, putting them into a vegetative state, lying in bed all day and babbling incoherently.


    Since Erin had been following his father and grandfather since he was young, he took over their research after their mishap. Perhaps due to his natural talent, Erin had always enjoyed raising insects since he was a child, observing their behavior and discovering many peculiarities among them.


    So, after taking over his father and grandfather''s work, Erin not only quickly grasped their research but also managed to arrange all the summoning runebinations perfectly. Afterpleting the arrangement, Erin, with the thirty- seventh rune and thebinations, was astonished to find that he couldmunicate with the creatures!


    After he fully understood the stone carvings, an idental injury caused Erin''s blood to drip onto the carvings. That ident ended up sending his consciousness into a strange world.


    In that world, there was a powerful spirit consciousness controlling all the creatures like tools to fulfill their tasks. When this powerful consciousness discovered Erin''s presence, it did not justmunicate with him smoothly but also formed a contract with him as well.


    Through the contract, Erin could wield the power of the Mars bugs, but as a condition in the contract, Erin''s life and death were tied to them!


    After the contract was sealed, Erin learned through the powerful spirit consciousness that it was actually the spirit domain of the leader of the Mars bugs, the queen bug!


    Hence, whenever a Mars bug sacrificed itself for Erin, Erin needed to provide an equal amount of energy to the queen!


    Every time he defeated a powerful opponent, Erin''s opponent would disappear and then be offered to the queen through certain means.


    The weapon in Erin''s hand was actually made of the bodies of powerful Mars bugs he had collected from around the world under the guidance of the queen. After extensive modifications, the weapon was capable of firing insects as bullets and shells, and it became a growing weapon for Erin.


    That was how Erin had managed to grow so much even as a non-cultivator!


    However, few people knew that due to the mutual rtionship of the contract, Erin had yet to use the strongest state of his weapon...


    That was because the more powerful the form he used, the greater the loss to the Mars bugs. If the nourishment he gave could not match the loss, then both sides would be negatively affected.


    Therefore, Erin would always use the corresponding weapon forms to match up to his opponents and never crush his enemies in a superior manner.


    Jonas was one of the few people who knew about Erin''sbat style.


    So, when he saw Erin start to assemble and strengthen his weapon, Jonas knew that Erin was not exaggerating.


    The guy in front of him was not as easy to deal with as imagined!
