Reborn as an insect, eventually reincarnated as Galactus

It actually took a full three hours to find the cave, but those three hours were well worth it as I found some scattered spiders and bugs to eat.

21 -> 61

And just like that, I found it. Protruding from the ground like an open wound. There is only one such hole in the entire asteroid, and it is even more special.

As I approached it, my heart beat faster. Hehe. Then again, there's no real evidence that it's not just a quick dead end, but that it's a real cave system. Like, a funny one. The kind with crystals and ghost monsters in there.

A white spider emerges from its hole.

Well, that's just proof that it's really delicious, isn't it? Strong!

I put the spider in my mouth and walked into the black depths below.

61 -> 71

I could see clearly in the darkness of space, and I should probably have expected that, but I still felt like a critical part of cave exploration was being taken away. Don't have visual impairment? That means I can't light up the cave with flickering torches! Oh, horror!

Still, despite my obvious disappointment that I wasn't hindered further, I went in.

At first, there were no crystals on the walls, no real enemies, just a pile of rocks. It's not threatening, because it's not black at all. Maybe I should squint my eyes so it looks like I'm in the dark? Or could it be untrue? After all, I'm here, trying to have a real cave exploration situation, but nothing——,

oh hello!

Hey, fork in the road! Well, I mean, it's kind of like a fork in the road. More like, despite a small crack in the wall, the big road continues to move forward.

Well, you know what they say about octopuses!

They can get into any crevice, as long as their beaks can get through! This feeling is correct. Even though this little crack is more than twice as small as mine, I'm pretty sure I can fit myself. So, I bent down, crawled along the rocky floor, and slid a tentacle in. Yes, it's suitable. Once the raised part of the mouth and eye coincided, I slid into the other, then the third and fourth. Then, my main body went in, and the fifth tentacle hung behind it like a tail.

I might have been more scared because of the whole squeezing through the gap, but my tentacles fit perfectly. I'm kind of tempted to take a nap.

-Anytime!

The tentacles in front could easily pull my body through, and my body was a little slimy, but it was actually easy to pass. Even better, because I have a pair of eyes everywhere, I can see exactly where I'm going!

In this way, I noticed the white clouds in front of me before the white clouds noticed me.

For a moment, I was shocked at how strange it looked, and the spider tensed up in that moment, and my front core used the two tentacles attached to it to pass through the narrow gap, while the third slid around the entire size of the spider, gripping it tightly. As the distance closer, the other two tentacles grabbed it and shoved it into my mouth. The spider barely fought, and by eating it, I could clearly see how my upgraded immunity handled the infection. It's so ×.

Soon, everything was done smoothly.

71 -> 81

here tells me that this is not a dead end. This path seems to have been going on for quite some time... - Oh, another spider! Crank.

81 -> 91

I continued. How long did I climb? ...... What, an hour? I have no concept of time. Maybe it was really a dead end and I started suffocating from the lack of air, fantasizing about spiders as I went. Ah, then again, I don't have lungs. It's weird.

Oh, another spider!

91 -> 101

Or maybe it was a hallucination, I rolled out of the slit and my whole body slipped out of the tiny hole and into the breezy world. After a while, I lay on the ground with my limbs in a heap, and for the first time fully understood what it meant to be an octopus.

I pulled myself together and stood up. There was a bright world in front of me, brighter than everything outside, and it stung my eyes for a moment.

The walls, floor, and ceiling were covered with a large patch of white fluff, like a rug everywhere, and it looked really soft because of its texture and cartoon cotton clouds, but in the back of my mind I understood that I was surrounded not by fluffy wool, but by very fluffy mold.

However, the bright pink crystals that stand out from the white fluffy world may not be mold.

Oh! Cool crystal!!

That's exactly what I want to see. Aha. I know it's mold or something, sitting here and looking at all the pretty crystals and the furry world....

Wait a minute, wait a minute, the fluff is moving. Rise. Black eyes protrude from the white fuzz.

Fill the entire cave with their total mass.

It's a spider, right?
