Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

"It was just a verification of that guess."

Seeing that Lion Heart was interested, Kael began to share some detailed insider information with him:

"This power, you should have seen me demonstrate it before."

As Kael spoke, the Life Treasury above his head lit up, and strange black flames twisted in the air above his palm:

"Totem Power, this thing has a strong control ability over Totem Creatures.

Even for non-Totem Creatures, as long as they can be transformed with sufficient Totem Power to become totemized, they still have the ability to achieve similar effects.

If after several generations of infusion with Totem Power, it's no exaggeration to say that if the effects can be successfully utilized, it's possible to cultivate my own unique Totem Creatures..."

This even includes Humans themselves."

"It's unnecessary to emphasize this point to me, I know you haven't transformed your subordinates into Totem Creatures, which is good of you.

A true leader should lead with supreme martial power and charismatic influence, conquering all. Seeking followers by breaking others' minds only leads to extinction."

Lion Heart stated this as if he was stating a fact, this utterly logical attitude, when spoken by him, seemed like an ironclad rule, always inspiring deep thoughts—

Like, how wonderful it would have been to campaign with Lion Heart during those tumultuous times!

This idea always unconsciously sprang to mind.

Of course, this thought merely flashed for an instant before vanishing.

Kael had his own principles, not so easily influenced by others.

"So you're saying that to fully unleash its potential, it needs to be used in conjunction with Totem Power?"

Lion Heart pondered, his brow furrowing as if he was contemplating something very serious.

Kael nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Lion Heart ask:

"Do those Gluttonous Slimes, like Aister, possess their own cognitive abilities?"

Kael nodded somewhat surprised.

Such a sharp reaction, immediately grasping a core factor of why the Rangers are so powerful now.

"Indeed, Aister, as the queen of the Gluttonous Slime Clan, has not erased the thinking abilities of the slimes below her but simply constrains them with the privilege of the queen and uses my Totem Power as the conduit, successfully enabling the special evolution of the symbiotic knights."

Yes, the Ranger's symbiotic knight system has now been repeatedly refined.

Initially, the communication between the symbiotic knights was through their own re-engineered Gluttonous Slimes' gelatinous bodies, merging it with the symbiotic's nervous network.

Thus, the transmission of information in the neural network shifted from "symbiotic directing the neural network with their brain, thereby controlling the body" to "symbiotic directing the neural network with their brain, thereby controlling both the body and the Gluttonous Slime."

This difference directly made the slime on the symbiotic act as part of their body, allowing for mutual communication and interaction.

But this was not enough, far from enough.

Just existing in this way, when facing ordinary opponents, the symbiotic knights could indeed still exhibit strong combat capabilities. After all, the enemies were not fighting a single knight but a symbiotic + Gluttonous Slime.

It's as if they were always fighting against multiple combat units.

And if you add a specially modified Totem Mount through Totem Power, then even with simple addition, it becomes 1+1+1=3.

If the symbiotic knights, the Gluttonous Slimes, and the Totem Mount could enhance their rapport further, the power they would unleash would be even more terrifying.

This is why even though they were in the forest where Elf Rangers should have had the upper hand, they were instantly overwhelmed after merely being flanked by the Rangers.

Because, even if the professional rank is a bit lower, the Rangers were indeed bigger, faster, and stronger!

"The Gluttonous Slimes with intelligence, compared to ordinary slimes after symbiosis, really makes that much difference?"

Kael nodded and carefully started describing the differences to Lion Heart.

First of all, the most common mind-erased Gluttonous Slimes are designed to avoid rejection reactions with the symbiotic knight, which requires erasing their cognitive abilities and even their souls, keeping only the complete slime body.

However, without the control of the slime, this is like shifting from a dual-core to a single-core operation.

Lacking cognitive abilities, they also don't consume corpses from the battlefield in real-time to transform into combat power.

To recover, they must act on their own.

Unlike now, where they automatically consume, automatically attack, automatically defend, and automatically provide buffs to the symbiotic.

Of course, there's another aspect not mentioned: this batch of slimes also has some "system panel" upgrades.

But this part, Kael would not disclose.

In conclusion, he summarized:

"The Gluttonous Slimes with intelligence can quickly consume the corpses of enemies on the battlefield, transforming them into resources needed for evolution, and providing substantial energy for the symbiotic."
