Without this, the only option would be to gradually deplete the Insect King's matter using antimatter, which is not only time-consuming but also impossible to control precisely.
" Insect King, I know you can understand me. Tell me your purpose, or I will make you wish you were dead!"
Academician Xiao stood at the edge of the pit and spoke to the Insect King. Although the Insect King couldn't hear Academician Xiao's voice, Academician Xiao felt that the Insect King might sense his meaning through its Consciousness Field.
A few minutes later, a sentence echoed in Academician Xiao's mind, "Die! You will all die!"
"Make your move!" The Insect King could indeed communicate, but it was impossible to get anything out of him; otherwise, the Great Star Region Civilization would have already found out.
The gears immediately started spinning, quickly reaching a speed of millions of revolutions per minute. Fortunately, there was no air on this planet; otherwise, the air might have been burned by the friction from such high-speed rotation.
The ten-meter-diameter gear made contact with the insect's legs, revealing its immense destructive power. The Insect King, which could even withstand spatial attacks, was finally having its outer biological armor worn away bit by bit by the high-speed Reversed State gear.
The Insect King struggled violently. Although its legs were bound by the Reversed State, it could still move within a small range, which caused great trouble for the RoboCop. Often, with one struggle from the Insect King, the RoboCop would be thrown thousands of meters away and crash heavily onto the planet's surface. In addition, the twisting of the Insect body caused the Reversed State to shake back and forth, making the RoboCop's work even more difficult.
The Insect King's enormous compound eyes stared intently at Academician Xiao. Academician Xiao seemed to know that the Insect King was looking at him, and smiled contemptuously. Academician Xiao didn't know if the Insect King could sense this smile, but it could certainly sense what Academician Xiao was about to do. It was already meat on the chopping block, and now it was being sliced open piece by piece.
A few hours later, the severed insect legs had piled up into two mountains several thousand meters high. Looking at the Insect King, only a few pairs of insect legs remained in the middle. These insect legs could trap the Insect King in the Reversed State cage, because the Insect King's head and tail were exposed. If they were all cut off, the Insect King might slip out. Now the Insect King was left with only a bare, long body.
The sap in the crater was hundreds of meters deep; if it were on Earth, it would be a huge lake. The sap emitted a disgusting smell, but no one could detect it.
Protected by the Reversed State Armor, Academician Xiao leaped into the deep pit, landing directly on the exposed part of the Insect King's body. Several RoboCop RoboCop rushed over, and thousands more had already reached the Insect King Insect King's head, with all sorts of tubes aimed at its massive head. If the Insect King made any unusual movement or Academician Xiao was in any danger, the antimatter in these tubes would directly consume the Insect King's head.
While antimatter can be defended against, it absolutely cannot prevent it from annihilating with matter; however, whether the energy generated after annihilation will have any effect is another matter.
The RoboCop have cut a large hole, tens of meters in diameter, into the Insect King's body, large enough for the RoboCop and Academician Xiao to enter the body through this hole.
" Insect King, you must be very excited to see what happens next!"
"Die! You will all die!"
The same words, filled with malice and anger, were spoken. Academician Xiao smiled slightly, the Reversed State Armor opened, and Academician Xiao, wearing a simple set of power armor, jumped out from inside the massive Reversed State Armor.
"Academician, Academician, what are you doing!" Chen Peng shouted anxiously when he saw Academician Xiao take off the Reversed State Armor.
"Don't worry, I'm confident. This bug is completely defenseless now. If it weren't for the long journey, this power armor wouldn't be necessary."
"Sigh, alright, I know it's no use trying to persuade you, but RoboCop will stay with you."
"Um."
Even after putting on the power armor, he was only three or four meters tall, much smaller and more agile than the Reversed State Armor. Academician Xiao jumped directly into the large opening that had been cut open.
The situation inside the Insect King's body was not particularly favorable. In addition to the bottomless liquid, there were various thick biological tubes. However, the strength here could not compare with the external bio-armor. The power armor's laser blade directly burned through the tubes with a diameter of tens of meters, and the juice inside gushed out, causing the small power armor to stagger backward. Fortunately, the powerful RoboCop behind it steadily supported Academician Xiao.
After waiting for several tens of minutes, feeling that the liquid in the tube had almost drained out, Academician Xiao flew into the tube. The tube was too small for the RoboCop to squeeze through, so he had to fly along the tube. Fortunately, there was still enough space inside the Insect King's body.
As Academician Xiao flew, he recorded various data along the way. Whenever he reached a key location or organ, Academician Xiao would stop to observe it carefully. For example, the bioreactor in front of him was the power source of the entire insect. This organ could decompose all matter into atomic states, thereby obtaining enormous energy. Moreover, it was indiscriminate in its use of any substance. Although the energy from antimatter annihilation was still somewhat lacking, the insect's energy utilization rate was several times higher than that of a warship. Furthermore, they were not picky eaters and could find supplies at any time. If all else failed, they could devour their own kind, or even their own parts. Compared to the complex resupply process of a warship, the insect's energy utilization was remarkably efficient.
After documenting the bioreactor, Academician Xiao arrived at an energy storage organ. This type of organ increases in number within the insect as its size grows; this Insect King had at least several hundred of them. The energy storage organ not only stores energy but, more importantly, uses it. It is equivalent to a combination of a warp drive and a conventional power engine on a warship, and can propel the insect to move through space by releasing energy.
Academician Xiao traveled more than 20 kilometers and finally arrived at the brain of the Insect King, which is the control center of the entire insect body. Almost all kinds of sensor-like organs and the brain are located here.
After some searching, a dark organ, about the size of a RoboCop tens of meters tall, appeared before Academician Xiao's eyes, with thousands of tattered tissues attached to this dark organ.
This is undoubtedly the brain of the Insect King, but its brain doesn't quite match its body, and its structure seems very simple, less than half the complexity of a human brain.
" Insect King, I'll give you one more chance. State your purpose and where you come from."
"Die! You will all die!" It was the same phrase again.
"Looks like I'll have to do something in your head."
Academician Xiao found a relatively thick tissue and burned it with a laser. Suddenly, he felt dizzy. It seems that even the Insect King could not withstand this kind of pain.
"Die! You will all die!"
It is estimated that although the Insect King has a certain level of intelligence, this intelligence has not been developed. Just like a very smart child, it is difficult to succeed without systematic education.
After a while, the Insect King finally calmed down from its pain. Academician Xiao did not continue to provoke the Insect King, but directly severed a piece of tissue connecting the Insect King's brain with a single stroke. Academician Xiao then took out a Little Crab from the power armor, and the Little Crab crawled around affectionately on the power armor.
