The Megabug is a "patch of energy" created from the SupaMerge headset that later becomes sentient that had warped Mario's "world" and caused it to become "completely unstable and chaotic".
Xavier Manzanares (game's Lead Producer): "So the Rabbids have been teleported into the Mushroom Kingdom and it made the world completely unstable and chaotic so Mario as a true hero wants to save the day but this time with some new friends."
Before anyone gets any doubt, Mario's "world" in context here is clarified by the awesome people that made the game to mean a single "universe" in Mario's cosmology, not his greater multiverse as I had initially suspected, so before anyone says we don't know the clear size and scope of the "world" that is being talked about in context here by the game's creators I came prepared:
Associate Producer Cristina Nava talks of the "two different universes and worlds".
Redundant confirmation straight to our faces here:
Me: "Hello! I am a big fan and have a behind the scenes lore question about Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle's story! When Beep-0 says that the "world" will be destroyed by the vortex if its left alone, was he intended to mean the planet or universe by "world" there?"
Davide Soliani (game's Creative Director): "Hi
, he meant the universe, as Kingdom Battle take place in its own universe. Or at least we like to think so "
This patch of energy had evidently warped the time and space of his dimension itself with its power, as seen here:

Beep-0: "Perhaps by turning the clock's hands backwards we'll force the moon back in the sky? Sounds like the type of nonsensical Rabbidese logic the Mushroom Kingdom is overrun with...And therefore probably worth a shot!"

Beep-0's mail: "The Moon Gate can't be opened unless there's a full moon (duh). Too bad it's gone already. Lucky for you, I know a way to get it to come back!"
That by turning a clock's hand backwards in Mario's dimension, for example, the moon's orbit through space would move backwards in order to have another full moon occur in reverse events as it had already happened, normally the concepts of time and space for our real life dimension or even in Mario's dimension don't operate that way and said dimensional concepts aren't affected by causality because of such silly events occuring but the concepts of time and space that were shown and stated as corrupted were affected in order to follow how Rabbidese logic works instead because of the power of the Megabug's abnormal influence, as mentioned by Beep-0.
The Megabug's earlier state as an ambient patch of energy, even before it had been amped by absorbing residual energy from enemy Rabbids and absorbed Spawny with the SupaMerge itself to take on its energy and power and grew larger in its own form as an "energy dragon" per Bowser Jr. that sustained the vortex with its power until its death, was stated to destroy Mario's "world" by Beep-0 if it wasn't stopped, who would be very knowledgeable about it, if it wasn't stopped in a very short amount of time since that they had to "hurry" to find Spawny and make him stop the vortex.

Beep-0: "There! In the sky - see that? It began the moment the Rabbids teleported into the Mushroom Kingdom. Hmm... the energy we've seen floating upwards after we defeat an enemy - I wonder...All the more reason to catch that Rabbid with the SupaMerge headset! He's the key to stopping this, I'm sure of it!"
Beep-0: "Could it be the SupaMerge headset was corrupted on its way to this world? If so...we're all in terrible danger! Mario! We must find that poor Rabbid fused to the headset! He is the key! Save him - we might just save this world."
I can also cite the Japanese version of the game, which is true to the same source material and notion here by Beep-0 which that the SupaMerge's energy that was later called the Megabug, is an immediate threat to Mario's universe via Beep-0's words if it wasn't stopped with its current power even at the start of the game and in some indeterminate, but short amount of time that they have to "hurry", which checks out as it had destabilized Mario's dimension even at the start with its warping:
Extremely rough English translation via Google: "If the power of the SupaMerge is out of control, its pretty bad. If nothing is done, the world will be destroyed! Let's find Spawny in a hurry!"
In summary, the Megabug and its alternate ego form MegaDragonBowser get upgraded to tier 2 for passively being able to destroy and warp a universe with their power; being higher in the latter form.
