"Regarding the several experiments we previously initiated—

First, while simply destroying the Insect Emperor on a physical level could not kill him completely, it was not entirely useless.

Based on the records of fifty-seven consecutive kills, the time required for his resurrection had clearly increased. Compared to the first resurrection, the fifty-seventh took 550 percent longer.

Upon hearing Gwen's inquiry, Prometheus, who had been calculating all along, immediately gave her answer.
