[Mind Remote Control]!

A mysterious connection, inexplicable by the existing knowledge system, had been forcibly established. Chen Gu was the active controller in this link with the Skyrocketing Insect inside the cocoon.

The Skyrocketing Insect, not yet fully mature, possessed no independent consciousness at this stage. As soon as Chen Gu's [Mind Remote Control] established the connection, he could control the entire insect.

After brief contemplation, Chen Gu made a decision: this particular Skyrocketing Insect would begin to absorb energy more intensely.

The Skyrocketing Insect was so massive that it had to be cultivated outside the body of a Troop Nest Beetle. However, the Troop Nest Beetles supplied all its nutritional substances and energy.

Two Troop Nest Beetles supplied one Skyrocketing Insect, connected to it by large biological cavity tubes. As the Skyrocketing Insect under Chen Gu's control increased its absorption rate, the Troop Nest Beetles distinctly sensed something was amiss.

However, such sudden accelerations in growth were common within the Insect Race and were termed "mutations."

For the Insect Race, mutations were positive occurrences, leading to the birth of more powerful kin.

Therefore, the two Troop Nest Beetles ceased all other incubation activities to fully support the Skyrocketing Insect.

Chen Gu, hidden beneath the cocoon, watched as the over two-hundred-meter cocoon grew to more than three hundred meters in just two hours!

He couldn't help but secretly marvel. Human technology has advanced so much, yet the Insect Race can still hold an edge in our wars. They're truly extraordinary.

The cocoon, now over three hundred meters, had surpassed the normal standards for Skyrocketing Insects. Yet, Chen Gu noticed it could still absorb more.

According to military data, Skyrocketing Insects were typically around three hundred meters. Clearly, they can grow bigger, but this size is already sufficient to deal with human Close Range Attack Ships. Anything larger would be a waste.

But Chen Gu didn't care. He controlled the Skyrocketing Insect to continue absorbing energy. As it neared five hundred meters, he was shocked to find the two Troop Nest Beetles starting to shrink!

The energy they drew from the planet was no longer sufficient to sustain this huge Skyrocketing Insect.

Chen Gu felt no pity for the two Troop Nest Beetles and, without hesitation, made the Skyrocketing Insect drain them dry.

The purpose of Troop Nest Beetles was incubation, so they could not refuse any requirements for "incubation"—even if it meant sacrificing themselves.

After efficiently draining the two Troop Nest Beetles, the cocoon's length finally broke through five hundred meters. Then, under Chen Gu's control, the creature tore open the cocoon with its sharp fangs, vibrated its wings powerfully, and thunderously took flight.

This insect had a centipede-like body, four pairs of dragonfly-like wings, and ten long, grasshopper-like legs. It was fully armed, equipped with no fewer than seven acid energy cannons of various sizes!

When this five-hundred-meter colossal creature appeared in the valley, it silenced the other insects. Even the "elite troops" guarding the area dared not act rashly. They moved far away, curling up on the ground in submission.

Chen Gu lay on the Skyrocketing Insect's back, unseen by the insects below. He controlled the giant, flying it around the valley. Instead of using the acid energy cannons, he activated twenty organs on both sides of its body, unleashing a torrent of flames toward the ground!

These flames were similar to those of the Blazing Mammoth Bug but far more intense.

On the ground, both lesser forces and elite troops screamed in fear, scrambling to escape. They couldn't understand why one of their own kind would slaughter them so mercilessly.

Hundreds of Troop Nest Beetles trembled within the flames. Lacking direct combat ability and faced with a suddenly rebellious kinsman, they had no idea what to do.

Only when the Empress, hidden in the shadows, sent her command through the air did they stop all hatching. They then devoted all their effort to supplying the other Skyrocketing Insects, intending for these to emerge first and deal with the large traitor.

But how could Chen Gu possibly give them that chance?

The five-hundred-meter Skyrocketing Insect flapped its wings in the sky, unleashing acid energy cannons and flame jets in tandem. The unhatched cocoons, with no ability to protect themselves, were instantly left in a tattered, broken shambles.

Meanwhile, the Troop Nest Beetles could only continue to execute the Empress's orders. They supplied energy to Skyrocketing Insects that could no longer hatch, rather than actively switching to incubate the larvae within their own bodies.

Chen Gu's ability to control such a massive Skyrocketing Insect was at its limit. However, he was handling it with ease, and it was more than sufficient to unleash havoc upon the valley.

He and his "alter ego," the great insect, wreaked havoc for over half an hour. The valley became a gruesome sight, littered with the blasted, burnt, and corroded corpses of insects. Many of these were "half-finished products" still incubating inside the Troop Nest Beetles.

Disfigured Skyrocketing Insects emerged from the shattered cocoons, mostly fully formed, lacking only the final step of maturation.

Chen Gu made another loop around the mountain peak, delighting in the slaughter of a new type of insect that resembled oversized fleas.

These insects had mediocre combat power. Despite their large size, they posed no threat to Skyrocketing Insects.

Then, Chen Gu, content with his work, rode off on his alter ego, drifting away.

However, after flying for dozens of kilometers, Chen Gu cursed silently. My [Mind Remote Control] is almost at its limit!

If the skill ended, he would lose control of this massive creature. After all, it belonged to the Insect Race and would soon regain its self-awareness. Facing a five-hundred-meter behemoth, he was certainly no match for it!

I got carried away! Chen Gu admitted to himself, his ego slightly inflated after single-handedly destroying an insect nest.

He hurriedly used the last moments of control to make the Skyrocketing Insect violently crash into a mountain peak, while he jumped off its back in advance.

BOOM!

The mountain peak collapsed by half. Chen Gu landed on the ground just as the impact seemed to make the whole world shake.

The Skyrocketing Insect crumpled awkwardly to the ground.

Chen Gu still didn't feel reassured. He turned and ran for tens of minutes. Looking back and seeing the behemoth remained motionless, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's truly dead.

The powerful combatants within the insect nest had been slaughtered. Since Chen Gu had already escaped dozens of kilometers away, he shouldn't have to worry about being chased by insects for the time being. He relaxed. Then, suddenly, a bizarre sensation surfaced in his mind.

He cocked his head, looking at the massive insect corpse. His nose twitched, and he couldn't resist licking his lips.

It seems... rather appetizing!

Chen Gu was startled by this thought but quickly realized the sensation came from Elizabeth Wu.

At least it's not me.

Is this... pica?
