"Is this what I look like now?"
A swarm of translucent worms, each with twelve transparent rings, formed a hand that floated above a translucent clock face.
This symbolized the "Worm of Time." The clock face was not physical; it was time's essence made tangible through the Marauder's power.
This was the power Nan Fusheng had forcibly wielded by borrowing Sefirah Castle.
"Phew, let's end this quickly! Though it looks like I won't need to do anything now."
Nan Fusheng looked at the four people screaming in agony. Having witnessed Nan Fusheng's Mythical Creature Form firsthand, their brains were being forcibly flooded with endless knowledge.

Mythical Creature Form was an ability only those who had reached Sequence 4 and become a "Half-God Half-Human" could use.
It was somewhat like the unseeable gods in Cthulhu novels. Once seen, unless one was an expert of the same level, the immense influx of bizarre knowledge could easily drive them insane.
It was worth mentioning that although Sequence 4s could use Mythical Creature Form, theirs was incomplete.
