Reborn as an insect, eventually reincarnated as Galactus

I probably know what to do with a scorched area.

I opened three usable mouths and chewed on the burnt area until only clean meat remained. Only then will it heal as usual, in which case it will only take a few seconds.

Jesus, Christ. Well, the second note: fire can also cause harm. Water is the first note. No water, no fire. What the hell.

As my body recovered, I slowly approached the fiery sword that was slowly scorching the floor.

The light was its presence, which made my whole body tingle and emit a vague soreness. Within five meters of it, I could barely stand. It's like being in a locked sauna, but with no real steam pain, just a complete "I'm on fire" pain.

I slowly approached. Stretch out one of my arms. As it got closer, its surface began to heat up, becoming brittle and hard, burning my flesh, and I gritted my teeth in pain, desperately holding back the trembling and not allowing myself to admit the pain this damn thing was causing me, until I finally grabbed it, and the tentacles holding it almost burned on it, and the inside instantly became tense and cooked, but with a flick of my wrist, I turned it off.

Cool return, I relaxed. Jesus Christ. It's just a terrible thing, isn't it?

It's the best thing to eat. You can call me a coward, or you can call me brave, whatever you may say, but when I put the turned off fire sword in my mouth, I behave like a child who is as cold as a child, not understanding that I am eating the powerful laser sword of the poisonous star war!

14 300 -> 27 500 Oh, Cronk, I love you to death, ha.

Crunchy texture. Carat-,

the memories bring me shades of purple. He tamed me as an adult. We are inseparable. Nevertheless, he left. I stayed. Waiting for his return!

... Kook. Well, the memories make me feel a little sad.

Dude, I've got a lot of points now, don't I? I want to know what I should do with them... Maybe upgrading my resistance will make me less susceptible to the effects of the fire sword, if there are more. Well. Now that I think about it, those sticks in those statues are very similar to the flaming sword I just ate, right?

Well, what about resistance? Oh, and of course size! maybe a little bit of power....

...... Well.

I hadn't thought about this before, but... Well, once I'm cool and happy, how am I going to leave this planet?

It's one thing to come in, but what about escaping?If I eat the whole planet, I might leave it because it will exist, but how many years will it take? No, if I want to leave I don't know... Jump, jump. Launch like a rocket ship. Well, technically, if I'm strong and big enough, I should be able to jump out of the atmosphere, right?

That sounds stupid, but I really don't think I'm going to have any good options here.

But, now, I'm done exploring the temple! I've found two crystals, and who knows how many more are waiting for me inside!Hmph

! Let's go!!

When I move from the main hall to what seems to be beyond it, my exploration is over. No, it splits off three different paths! How do I choose?

I go to the right. There, I found several completely empty rooms, the only object inside which was a semi-corroded chair. It's nice to know that even humans in space need to rest their tired buttocks. I turned around and walked to the left and noticed that the room was a little... Well, a bit like that little workbench found in the hall, it's fantastic!but the number of tools is only a little more than the outside. There is a difference, though. There were two perfect white crystals and a flaming sword. Hehe.

27 500 -> 69 250 Hehe. Good!

... This is the workplace. For the time being, it will soon become a digital world of the Void? This is important.

-Kook. I don't even try to understand the meaning of these memories, and to be honest, I don't care.

Now it's the last way, right on the main staircase! I can't tell if it's modern or classical. Climbing stairs after such a long time felt both right and wrong, because my tentacles didn't resemble legs in the sense of walking. It felt weird that I just dragged one in front of the other and went straight up a flight of stairs.

At the top of these staircases, there is a long corridor flanked on both sides decorated with statues of humans and creatures, most of which are only half-made, but they all possess the respect and awe of some kind of magical warrior. Walking down the corridors and glancing at the (empty) rooms on either side, it feels like you're in a cathedral. The kind of thing full of beauty that you want to hold your breath and be super quiet lest God come down and spank your ass for blasphemy. Ha.

Then, just as I began to wonder if there was nothing else to find inside the temple, I stepped out of the hallway and into what resembled a library. An incomplete room.

Bookshelves piled high with half-books stretch all the way to the high roof. But it's not even a book! No, these things are some kind of blue pills, and I have to actively resist the urge to take one pill and see what's in it. Whatever these are, they're all important. Stay here for safety. It doesn't feel right to disrespect this abandoned and half-finished temple meeting.

I wandered around looking at strange machines and strange computer screens everywhere. Finally, I looked at the half-hidden door at the end of the room. The only door other than the entrance.

But it's constructed like a damn safe!hah!

It has some sort of handprint scanner on the side, but, apparently, my tentacles didn't cut through it.

...... There is only one thing to do.

If my only escape is to jump, then boosting my strength is never a good idea. So, let's do it!

Three times should be fine.

Strengthening?Cost: 900 (you have 69 250)Strengthening?cost: 1 100 (you have 69,250)Strengthening?cost: 1 250 (you have 69,250

)

Yes, please start.

69 250 -> 66 000

The force flowed through my body, I grabbed the sides of the heavy door, the end of my tentacles almost sank into the metal, and with a heaving and a scream of "yes", I tore the door completely off. What appeared in front of me was a circular corridor, less mysterious, more high-tech. The walls are lined with square cyan lights.

....Wow... There must be something cool here. As we all know, if it is put in jail, then it may be worth breaking from prison!

Nothing else happened. Or, well, something else might happen, but I really only have two feelings, so... That's the bust, hehe. Nothing seems to have changed here, so I figured I could just walk through the hallway? yes, let's go. For the sake of reality!

The room on the other side of the room... It's funny.

I walked onto this strange platform, surrounded by a strange pillar, and the rest of the room was completely cut off from me by a deep crack. The walls I couldn't reach were lined with what looked like giant crystals, but... Oh wait, there's that in that pillar in the middle of the room, and even some on the floor.

I grabbed one from the pillar and was glad it wasn't stuck.

Well. Yes, it's a crystal, no problem. Sort of.

You see, isn't this just a piece of crystal? First of all, it's ten times the size of all the other crystals I've ever eaten. Secondly, it also has a well-defined shape and is surrounded by some kind of frame. All in all, it seems less natural and more purposeful. Is it kind of like the crystal-like pills out there? Maybe, I'm not sure.

I looked at the one in my hand. Not. Crystal.

Edible?
