Reborn as an insect, eventually reincarnated as Galactus

It's been three days.

How do I know it's been three days instead of two days and four days? I don't! It just feels right! Feelings precede emotions, and I'm sure that's right. And in this whole time....

5 689 -> 13 788

(Oh my God, it's tens of thousands again, just like the tens of thousands of hits in my previous novels!)

Yes. Then I used it all to upgrade my size, resilience and resistance, so....

2642 I huh! It's not anymore, it's just a data game, haha.

13 788 -> 988

Then I spent the rest of my points on immunity, just for fun.

988 -> 208

This time, for a moment, everything was calm. As I predicted, three days after shoveling the asteroid into my esophagus, the process was fully automated. I can probably play as many songs as I want without thinking too much about it. Ah, if only I had my trusty clarinet, I could play twenty wind instruments at the same time, ha... I guess that guy is going to rot in my bedroom right now, right? I wonder if anyone will take care of him. Maybe donate him to my marching band? They're all pretty neat guys.

...... Ah, man, it's getting more and more distracted while eating. Eat. Look at the stars. Eat. Ponder. Maybe this is purgatory?

I don't know how big I really am. I can only compare myself with other asteroids, ×and now, I don't even feel that it is not as big as Himarangya! It would be nice if it could be accompanied by a picture.

In this case, I can tell that they usually look smaller than before, but that doesn't make much sense. Some asteroids are as small as pebbles and dust, and some asteroids hit me like trucks, but the cases where they cause me any actual harm are getting smaller. In fact, I don't remember any time in the last few hours when I had been seriously injured. Considering the speed of everything, this is quite impressive.

I'm making steady progress. The biggest asteroid looks about the same size as me, but is that really — oh my God, am I God?

Ah, except for one. You see, every now and then, I can catch a glimpse of it.

Ilsa. A protoplanet in this asteroid belt. It is smaller than most planets, but has a thick atmosphere around it. Large.

Where did the crystals I eat come from.

...... I'm not greedy. But every time I look at that planet and see me getting closer and closer to it, I feel a certain excitement. It takes two days to float around the points provided by one of the crystals. I'm sure there must be more on that planet. But it's still far away. What should I do even if it's really close? This is a complete (primitive) planet! I'm just a little boy, just a little guy,

... Well? Wait, hold on. Something just happened and I could feel it.

My direction changed. I no longer go in a straight line with an asteroid, I orbit strictly around the sun, no, I....

I glanced at Ilsa's primordial planet in confusion. It's still quite far. But, maybe, just maybe... Is it close enough to pull me into its gravitational field?

Is that...... Ridiculous. It's still super far! Like, just to provide a perspective, I think it's probably about twice the size of the moon that we see from Earth. The only reason I know it's Ilsa is because of its rounded shape and white striped surface, which is its telltale hallmark. I knew it was Ilsa, and I was sure of that.

...... Again, I would absolutely believe it got my way. Yes. This must be the case. I was really getting closer and closer, and after a few hours, it seemed to triple in size, showing nice surface detail. Although the stripe is white, it also has these dark blue cracks. Honestly, it looked really cool, but as I got closer, a small question came through my mind.

For example, entering a planet's atmosphere usually causes a fire, right? I mean - this guy has an atmosphere or not, but even if there is no atmosphere, I will rush into it at the same speed as a very fast assault boat. I don't remember any acoustic numbers, is my survival completely guaranteed?

.. Well. Yes, it will be a terrible question.

I can't be sure of anything, but now that I'm approaching at exponential speed, I can tell that my speed is still increasing in the freefall giant. Hah, it didn't cause any damage, but I'm basically flying in the shape of a crescent moon around it, a couple of other asteroids and similar objects around me, not sure what I should do. Maybe I should put away my tentacles to protect my kernel? Or maybe I should-,

I'm looking at the asteroid around me. I don't know if that's enough, but just one resistance upgrade is enough.

I started pushing the nearest asteroid in my various faces. It's a pity that I had to ignore the larger ones. If I could have crushed them into small pieces, I might have eaten better, but I found that I wasn't that strong. Ilsa became closer, wider, and more detailed, and I grew faster in its tracks. The asteroid began to fly faster. Huge, moon-like planets eclipsed me and flew past me, spinning like a basketball. I ignored them because this time I was engrossed in eating.

Asteroids that would have just passed me were scraped from their positions and stuffed into my mouth.

How much does it cost to upgrade resistance from 208 -> 567

?

It's closer, it's closer. It felt like I was an astronaut looking down on the Earth.

Upgrade your resistance? Cost: 2 000 (you have 567)

Wow, I need some time, I'm not sure if I have time. Things really started to get fast. Iilsa is now huge, closer than ever, and the world seems to be blurred together, however, I keep my eyes on the prize, on the myriad asteroids around me, whether they are made of ice, rock, or crystal, and I must eat them all.

567 -> 799

799 -> 923

923 -> 1 123

I'm glad I don't have a stomach. If it were me, I would have vomited. Everything is spinning. It's impossible for me to keep my tentacles straight anymore. My vision is so divided. Enter a hundred different places. I see so much. I caught so many asteroids. I just kept eating. There was a pressure around me. Not like that creature. Not like it did to me. Distinct. Hurry up. Worse. 1 123 -> 1 354

1 354 -> 1 443

1 443 -> 1 491 Soon, soon!

The asteroid slipped out of my hand, I was moving too fast for me to grasp, and when the protoplanet was out of my sight, the asteroid fled. That's half of everything I've seen. I spun faster and faster, invisible nausea dissolving my guts. Yes! ∽ You can imagine sitting on the earth, spinning and rushing on a tumbling roller coaster, and grabbing all kinds of food flying in the air with both hands, and eating wildly. Happy, crazy, stimulating the rise of points!

1 491 -> 1 512

1 512 -> 1 548My

bodies began to be squeezed together, and the tentacles yielded and folded over each other, crushing me into a pebble. I'm flying fast now, faster than ever. Eating asteroids is almost impossible anymore, no longer feasible. They flew so fast that my tentacles couldn't move to grab them. I don't think it's going to work. I'll squirt, won't I? Or maybe not -

an asteroid about a third the size of me hit me and a light bulb went out. I may not be able to eat the small ones, but I will definitely be able to eat the big ones!

I could barely force my tentacles to wrap around it, but once I grabbed it, I started binge-eating.

1 548 -＞ 1 567

1 567 -＞ 1 609

...... Not enough. I'm still throwing at the planets, and at this point, I'm seeing more planets than the sky. It seems to surround everything and occupy most of my field of vision. It's like a constellation of planets around me, it's already very close, and it scares me. See, my mouth is not for chewing and swallowing large stones, they are for swallowing a single larger stone. If I'm strong enough to smash this rock, I'll be able to eat it more effectively, and if I ——,

buy skill strength? Cost: 50 (you have 1 609)

I don't have any doubts in my heart. I'll take it, is it worth it?!

1 609 -> 1 559

Unlike before, this time, I really felt it. Despite the pressure, I was able to move more easily. I could feel the rock in my hand softening, but not enough for me to crush it completely. I'm closer now, I can see individual, peak mountains stretching across the planet like tiger stripes, and I'll upgrade this damn skill. Give me the price! Twice!

Boost your strength? Cost: 100 (you have 1 559)

to increase strength? Cost: 175 (you have 1 559)

Buy both!

1 559 -> 1 248

power envelops my tentacles, but I won't open them because I know now that I can. I gritted every tooth and grabbed the asteroid I clung to, crushed it inside me, held all the pieces in my hands, and let my countless mouths and tentacles work overtime to shovel out more and more things inside. Physically it should be possible.

1 248 -> 1 367

1 367 -> 1 539

1 539 -> 1 788

That's right! Haha.

The ground approached quickly, but I continued to eat. There's something strange in the atmosphere, there's something flickering, but I don't know what it is, it almost looks like a transparent bubble covering the entire planet.

1788 -> 1 863

1 863 -> 1 998

Almost-!

I shoved the last asteroid into my mouth.

1 998 -> 2 000

to upgrade resistance? Cost: 2 000 (you have 2 000)

- buy it!

2 000 -> 0

Then, knowing that I couldn't afford the cost of the next upgrade, I gave up all the asteroids. They landed on my side, and the world began to settle down and give me a proper idea of where I was headed. At this point, I'm no longer on track and I need more to skydive. But how can I have a parachute!

I spread my arms with my newfound strength. When I'm falling, there's more resistance this way, and the descent is slowing down. This also means that, despite this, the planet still has some kind of atmosphere.

Ground approach. Mountains in the distance turned into bizarre mountains, unrecognizable blue blocks turned into huge wall-like glaciers, strange structures that I had never noticed before seemed to protrude from the mountains, and for a long time I wondered: what the fuck is this? That's it?

Then the ground got too close, and to protect myself, I rolled everything into a ball, protecting my consciousness, my core, and everything about me.

I slammed to the ground. It's too hard.
