Jacob looked at Autarch as if he was looking at a bottomless pit. Truth be told, he was expecting there to be limitations and absurd demands to nurture it, but he was never expecting those demands to be this absurd.

'If what it said is true, then when it reached the epic rank, it needed to consume the unique rank beings to increase its physical rank while at the unique rank…'
At this point, Jacob's mind went numb just thinking about the terrifying condition to let it evolve into the Legendary Rank. It finally occurred to him why there was never a legendary rank fantastic insect ever seen.
In comparison, he was more at ease in the magic core conditions. But he was still quite bitter about those conditions remaining unchanged even if Autarch ended up devouring a higher level being than it needed.
