Reborn as an insect, eventually reincarnated as Galactus

He smiled wryly. "Looks like you thought about it before I could tell you." His smile suddenly turned even more regretful. "I'm sorry I shot you. It's true. I-, I'm not sure why, but whenever I see a Jedi, I'm just... That must be your cloak. Wear it and you look a lot like my former general. I don't think her filthy name might resonate in any way, but she's called Ella. The Tireks. "

The Tireks ... Those people have a head and an end, right? I thought, in that sense, I must be very similar. Somewhat. Through a few selected ways. Then, I guess if he suddenly saw a creature that looked like a Tirek was also wearing Jedi robes, he would fall into some kind of blind rage, right? Man, assuming the Empire is honest about the relationship between clones and Jedi, I really must have dug up some trauma diaries for him.

So he's a clone who used to work for the Jedi. Well. I'd love to ask him a little bit about all this, but if it's so traumatic to him that he sinks into a blind rage just by seeing someone who is a bit like his previous owner, then it's best not to ask.

I tried to smile soothingly. "Hey, it's okay ——,, I can heal almost any wound. Actually, even if you completely destroy this body, I don't care! But don't do it. Don't ruin this body. "

No, it won't work," he said, shaking his head. He stared at me with a cold gaze. What if the soldiers don't accept my words? "If you weren't what you are, my attack would be deadly. You're going to be killed by my blaster. "

Well, yes, but—

" "So, I owe you. A lifetime of debt, if you will. I can't kill myself, and I can't kill myself, even if I owe you a lot of money. The warriors who have always been in love "

look at his face, and he will not accept anything that I really desire." And then....

I look at the other three soldiers. While I trust them to a certain extent, I don't want them to know that I'm suspicious of the Empire or that I'm super interested in what happened before. The truth of it all. No, what I want can only be pleaded with this guy. Let's say he'll let me do it. But we'll do it.

"Hmm... All right! I'll tell you what I want in a moment so you're sure to be able to close your deal, right?

He nodded solemnly. Of course. "

But, first, I need to know a few things." Can I ask one thing? He pinched his eyebrows together. I smiled defenselessly. "What's your name?"

His eyes widened. "My name?"

Aite squirmed next to me. "Well, yes! If you have one, this is it. If you're like Art, you probably don't want to tell me, but..."

"No, I have one." Is this the smile I see? "It's charging." It's not the name I was born in, it's given to me by my brothers. "

He talked about it very passionately, and it seemed pretty much right.

I turned to the other two. "What about the two of you?"

They looked at each other, and all of a sudden, they were the only two people who seemed a little upset with me. Realizing that there was no hope of escape left, they all sighed.

"I'm AT-1126," one of them said.

"I'm AT-1127," said another. Looking closely now, the two look strikingly similar, almost like twins.

"If you're wondering, yes, we're brothers. Graduated from the same academy and was sent to the same damned task force for the same robbery. Ha "

"... Crime? Am I seeing a pair of criminals?

27 (name to be confirmed) smiled slyly. "Peeking at the girls."

26 (name TBD) nodded, his eyes twinkling. "It's totally worth it."

Don't...... Is that so?

There is a question that lingers in my mind. Empire Hire Girls? I mean, that should be a foregone conclusion, but I haven't seen any results so far. No soldiers, no officers, no technicians ... I'm just assuming they're busy somewhere else. Maybe I should be happy about gender equality in space, but at the same time, these two don't make it so hospitable.

Sexual harassment in space. Maybe I'm being naïve.

Aite coughed. "Besides, don't you two have anything to say to Mott?"

They looked at him blankly. The actions of the two are almost one, which makes people a little scared. They're definitely twins, but they have different eye colors, and that's it.

27 The mouth is wide open. "Oh. Yes, I'm sorry. "

26 scratch your head." Well, by the way, thank you for saving us back. You're so nice. And because they don't eat us. "

Yes——, you're welcome," I said half-heartedly.

Art sighed in exasperation, turned to me, and shrugged. Yes, nothing can be done about it. Finally, he clapped his hands. "All right, kids. Let's go to sleep. If we stay up any longer, the lieutenant may set fire to the cabin. Everyone else agrees, and so do I. Somehow, setting fire to the ship seems to be a completely typical thing the lieutenant did, as long as he really believed it was going to kill me?

I mean, I haven't really been exposed to fire yet, but based on my usual reactions to blasters and lightsabers, I don't think I'll have a problem.

Art and I undressed. I'm not wearing anything under my pants and I'll sleep naked. Then again, I have nothing to hide, so I have nothing to be ashamed of. Ah, the joy of being a space squid. There is no humanity at all. Hehe.

I climbed into bed, and everyone else climbed into bed.

Considering that both the brothers and Charge had fallen asleep in just ten minutes, it was a sign that my presence hadn't scared them into falling asleep or anything. I smiled at myself. Hehe. It turned out okay. Everything went well, didn't it? Art is good, that's good. These guys look good too. Mostly, that's it. Peeking at girls is immoral. I would never do that. No, sir. It won't happen in a million years.

...... Of course – of course, it all depends on the situation, I mean, if I'm threatened that they'll kill Art and Tiffin unless I peek at the girls, then I guess I don't have a choice, right? Right. Yes.

Most people are good people. Everyone wants to do the right thing, whether it's for themselves, for other people, or for the world. Of course, there are a lot of evil things that people can do in pursuit of this goal, but in the end there are usually good results?

... I wonder what drives the Jedi? There is not much information about them in the archives. Or mandatory users in general. Or the Force. It's all messy, but in essence, I do think the Jedi must have some reason to do it. Well. The Sith too, I don't know anything about them. After all, Jedi are just human beings. It's like Ate them.

People strive to be the best they can be. But, I guess, it's hard to be neutral when you have a lot of power, such as space magic.

What I'm trying to say is, if you have power, you should use it well. But if I say that, then I need to be more proactive. Because I have power.

The idea that you have to use the power you have can lead to a lot of places, most of which are very dark. I guess it's because power can only be used in certain ways? I mean, if you're like me, there's no way I'm going to do a lot of constructive things. I could probably use it for construction, but I'm almost too big, right? I'm not good at distracting myself from letting a million tiny tentacles each do their own complex things, so at the end of the day, I'm only going to do big cleaning or small monotonous things.

It's like destroying things. Now, I have a diameter of more than a kilometer and a half. The colossal destruction and death I could have caused, this is no joke.

I think I have to "use my power to do good", then it's likely that I'll end up ruining something. Sometimes it's good to destroy something bad, but a lot of times, destroying something is a bad thing in itself.

For example, if you're a totalitarian government trying to censor your people, a mass destruction of books can be a "good thing."

But is this correct?

If I were a Nazis or something, I'd say "yes" because, well... This is in line with their ideology. But I'm not a Nazi. I don't even care about politics at all. At the moment, I'm trying to stay apolitical, although it's a bit difficult when I'm already on the side of the Empire... Well, until I do enough research, at the moment I'm mostly just for the show.

At the end of the day, what might happen if I decided to be on the right side and actually work for them. If I continue to expand like this, maybe one day I will be able to destroy the entire planet. If the politicians I believe in told me that destroying this or that planet was the "good" and "right" thing to do, I might actually do it. If I closed my eyes and just chewed, I probably wouldn't have noticed how many people I would kill at all.

I gritted my teeth.

It is dangerous to exercise power for the sake of power itself. It is dangerous for power to be in the hands of those who are indecisive. Power is even more so in the hands of the resolute.

Uh-uh.

Woo-well, I guess I'll try not to think too much about it!

Keep researching. If I'm (very) lucky, it turns out that the empires are indeed right, and I'm just paranoid about them. Since the rebels look like a small threat, all I need to do is protect the empire while they end the rebellion, and then everything will be fine! If I'm lucky, it's really going to be black and white.

If I'm lucky.
