Chapter 485 You're just a useless worm who only knows how to pick on the weak!
Scarface's pupils contracted sharply, as if an insect had poked a wound, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Tan Chi continued slowly and deliberately, "Is it because one male insect disliked you and even hurt you that you hate all male insects so much?"
His tone carried a hint of knowing mockery, "You want to vent your resentment towards that male by torturing other innocent males?"
Scarface's face flushed red, and his gaze toward Tan Chi was filled with resentment, as if he were about to tear him to pieces at any moment.
Tan Chi, however, seemed oblivious to his rage. He tilted his head slightly and sneered, "Let me guess, you probably didn't dare to seek revenge on the male insect that actually hurt you, right? Well, a coward like you would only dare to target an easy-to-bully insect like me..."
"Shut up!!" Scarface completely lost his temper and shouted at Tan Chi, "I didn't! I didn't! You're talking nonsense!"
Tan Chi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Look, you clearly know who hurt you, but you don't dare to confront the real culprit. You only vent your anger by catching other unrelated male insects. What do you call that?"
The mechanical insect, which hadn't had a chance to speak until now, seemed to have suddenly received a command and immediately came out to finish off the enemy.
"Based on the analysis of this insect's behavioral pattern, this behavior conforms to the core characteristic of 'bullying the weak and fearing the strong.' This individual has a severe lack of self-worth and is unable to gain social recognition through its own abilities. It can only gain temporary confidence by bullying weaker individuals to fill the void in its heart through the disparity in power."
Tan Chi nodded approvingly, "That's a very accurate summary. To put it bluntly, you're just a useless worm who only knows how to pick on the weak!"
"Aaaaaah! I'll kill you!!" Scarface's rationality snapped completely!
How could he tolerate being so precisely analyzed and even despised by a cub and a mechanical insect, with all his fierce pretense torn to shreds?
He leaped up in anger, his dagger stabbing fiercely towards Tan Chi's heart with astonishing speed!
However, the next second, his entire insect was slammed to the ground by a strange force.
When he realized that the creature that attacked him was a mechanical insect, the dagger he had been gripping flashed and grazed his neck.
A robotic arm precisely covered Scarface's gaping mouth in shock, and he quietly left this world.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, without a sound.
The mechanical insect smoothly dragged him aside, even quickly pulling out a black sealed bag from its storage space and deftly stuffing the scarred man's corpse inside, its movements as smooth as if it were just packing up an ordinary garbage bag.
Meanwhile, inside the palace's strategic chamber, all was deathly silent.
The Insect King, Eli, and several core female soldiers stared in disbelief at the sudden and swiftly ending battle on the screen.
Before they even had a chance to worry for Tan Chi, the threat had already been eliminated!
"That was a mechanical bug?!" one of the female soldiers exclaimed in disbelief. "We've all witnessed Scarface's strength. In the numerous raids against space pirates, we've suffered countless losses at his hands. And yet... he was defeated by a mechanical bug in a single encounter..."
Destroyed?
No... They've all seen mechanical bugs before, so why is the one the Second Prince is carrying different from the one in their homes?
The Insect King took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart. "The combat power and adaptability of this mechanical insect far exceed our expectations."
Ah Chi has really created something terrifying...
Fortunately, this thing now belongs to their side, and with the mechanical bug around, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
With this level of combat power, he can already go toe-to-toe with him at his peak.
His gaze remained fixed on the changing scene, and he felt much more at ease.
In the scene, Tan Chi glanced at the sealed bag beside him before calmly instructing, "001, scan his appearance, physique, voiceprint, and behavioral data. Disguise yourself as him, go out and gather intelligence, and await my further instructions."
"Okay, 001 will be there right away~"
The mechanical bug excitedly spun around twice, and then instantly transformed into the shape of Scarface.
Whether it's the appearance, the specific features, or even the texture of the scar on the face, they are exactly the same.
It stretched its "new" hands and feet, then dragged the sealed bag and strode out of the lower deck cell.
...
Once the mechanical insect had gone far away, Tan Chi patted Letekar's hand and whispered, "Baby, it's too dirty here, let's go out."
His mental powers had already sensed that the space pirates were about to return to their lair.
They can leave now just in time to join them in entering the base.
With that in mind, Tan Chi ordered the mechanical insects to kill the two nearest space pirates and send over their images.
He then pulled Letecar toward the cell door.
Looking at the dozen or so insects that were also imprisoned, Tan Chi said, "I am Tan Chi, the second prince of the empire. The royal army will arrive here soon, and the female soldiers who are clearing out the insects will be here shortly. Stay here and do not make any rash moves."
After saying this, Tan Chi was about to open the cell door.
As soon as he finished speaking, Letekar, who had been quietly standing beside him, grabbed the seemingly sturdy metal bars of the cell.
Then, under the horrified gazes of the insects, he gently pried open the alloy fence, which was as thick as a baby's arm, and easily created a huge hole!
The prisoners in the cell widened their eyes instantly, and gasps of shock filled the air.
Even their previously lifeless eyes now held a hint of anticipation.
Maybe this time there really is a bug that can save them all!
"Will the army really come? You're not lying to us, are you?"
"Aren't you taking us away now? How much longer do we have to wait?"
"Yes! You're not taking us away now, and you want us to wait? We don't want to wait any longer!"
Ignoring the commotion behind him, Tan Chi calmly led Letekar out through the hole.
"If you want to live, wait here, otherwise I can't save you."
Tan Chi glanced at the insect that had just tried to cause trouble. "You all saw it just now. I can kill a space pirate instantly, so you are just a piece of cake for me."
His voice was icy cold, with absolutely no hint of joking.
The insect, which had initially tried to argue, is now completely obedient.
Seeing this, Tan Chi continued, "If you want to live, stay here. The military's insects will be here soon. If you don't trust me, you can choose to die."
