Reborn as an insect, eventually reincarnated as Galactus

It's close to me. Unafraid. These guys really don't care, do they? I'm recovering from what just happened, but this guy just... Straight for me. Its teeth were digging into my flesh. If I can feel the pain, it can be uncomfortable. But since I don't, I can... Watch it. Its shell has an iridescent texture and is beautiful. It's not exactly black, it's more like a very deep blue that flashes cyan and purple when the light of the sun and stars hits it just right.

My regeneration rate is so fast that it can't really remove any of my flesh. This is....... Impressive, I guess? It didn't actually do me any harm.

Nibble.

... Of course, I can eat it, I need points

, I sit down, and the tired and nervous tentacles almost crumble. The little bugs have been gnawing. Carefree in the world? I just need some time to rejuvenate. That's it. And then you toast, do you hear that, Buggy? I'm sure you will. Take a bite, boy. Take a bite.

Nibbled?

You see, the tear on one of my tentacles is almost completely healed! I am a miracle of modern engineering!

Nibbled!

I was indeed a gooey thing at first, but now I'm different! Now I'm like some kind of giant tentacle network!

Nibbled? ...

Await. Uh....

Bucky, don't look at me with those big eyes of yours.

Nibbled.

They're so appealing and I'm looking at them right now!

Nibbled.

.. I said I wanted to...

Nibbled.

...... You're quite right, Baggy. Looking at your sun-shining eyes, your star-reflecting carapace, I know I can't eat you. I admit it. However, again, considering that my regeneration power is comparable to your cannibalization, I have nothing to lose when you eat me.

Nibbled?

Exactly, I gently grabbed Badge and slowly placed him on one of my tentacles. He looked confused, he was just a stupid fake bug, so as soon as he found a piece of meat and started gnawing on it. I let him do it, because I had nothing to lose. Parasites, you say? Maybe, but that's okay!

Nibbled.

If the host loses something from the parasite, it's a parasite, right? I didn't lose anything because of it! Ah, but it's not an alliance either, because I didn't get anything good... Belch! Never mind!

I've said enough about the buggy, explore the asteroid! As much as I love the idea of coexisting with Badge, I do need to get bigger. So I don't die, we just want the badge here to be the size of a normal beetle or something. That's good. But we ignore this aspect for now, because I'm not even in the solar system, and the last time I checked, interstellar travel is now unlikely.

At all costs! Time to explore!!

If the first asteroid I'm on is a football, then this asteroid is more like a car. Very big.

It didn't take long for me to spot a swarm of insects, all gobbling up what appeared to be the carcass of a fluffy three-legged spider, about the size of a chair.

They turned to me. I opened them. I glanced at Badge. Yes. I need to keep a certain distance from them to ensure the safety of Baggy – uh, myself.

I tilted the body back, placing it entirely on the power of a tentacle. That's obviously enough, because all things considered, the three arms and feet at its end were enough to keep my entire body in a fairly stable position. Feel like a dead flamingo.

I raised my four tentacles. It's time for the battle.

The bugs pounced on me, about nine, and my four tentacles had a total of twelve small hands, and I easily grabbed them with three hands at once. The bugs wriggled and tried to gnaw at my tentacles, but they all disappeared into my tentacles' mouths.

6 -> 51

Okay!

I can't increase the size, I'm very happy with the tentacles I already have....

Oh! How much does Regeneration's next upgrade cost?

Upcycling? Cost: 50 (you have 51)

Yes, it's totally worth it. Let's do it!

51 -> 1

man. It's totally worth it. On the other hand, I was able to purchase the skill with little to no preparation, so... I would like to know if I can buy other useful skills?

Anything? Anything is there? ... No?

Well....

Keep exploring!

Exploring completely barren land is really boring, though. All I could find was more insects (1 -> 46) and eventually, found a very cool crystal. It's like poking out of the ground. There's nothing else interesting about it... Oh! It's just that Bucky is asleep! He must have been well fed and asleep, poor thing. I hugged him with the two tentacles on the main body. lest he fall.

Oh, something new!

Hey, it's a live spider! Well, I mean... I'm pretty sure it's a spider? It's strikingly similar to the Chinese takeaway I ate the week I ate last month... Very white and fluffy. There are only three legs. Black, round eyes. Foot piercing into the ground. Looks a little weird, doesn't it? There are also three, but they are not very important.

They're all a little bigger than insects, but still a lot smaller than me.

I took the flamingo pose again and protected Buggy with my body. Ha ha!

I grabbed one of the three-legged spiders with two tentacles and lifted it into the air. Its legs squirmed dramatically, and it looked like a clockwork toy that had been removed from the ground. It wanted to run away, but for some reason it couldn't walk. Haha, okay then. Drink it all!

I took two of its tentacles and started eating it directly, while the other two approached like robots. Since the spider's body is larger than my mouth, it takes a while to chew it, so during this time, I have to block these two people.

They're surprisingly light, and I only need a tentacle to hold them. Because they're being lifted to my other mouth....

I'll just go straight to dinner. Ha ha! It's easy! , I've already eaten the first one! There are only two left

- 46-> 56

buy spell immunity? Cost: 35 (you have 56).
