Chapter 21 Chapter 21 When the love rivals meet, they are extremely jealous...
With Angus' company, although Gal suffered a lot during the second transformation, his life was not threatened.
I felt the heat and excruciating pain in my body completely subside, and my mind became completely clear.
Gal knew that he had safely survived this fatal second metamorphosis.
"Awooo?" The moment Gal sat up, the lion's eyelids raised.
Seeing the silver-haired male insect walking barefoot on the floor, the lion jumped easily, blocked the male insect's steps with his huge body, and pushed the slippers under the male insect's feet.
After toiling for several days, the cold sweat on his body kept coming out and drying up. Gal lowered his head and smelled himself.
This body really stinks.
Before, he was so exhausted that he would definitely fall and bleed if he went into the bathroom alone. He was too embarrassed to let Angus help him bathe, so he endured not bathing for five days.
Gal took a clean piece of clothing from the closet and said, "Amo, while I'm taking a shower, help me clean up the room."
Fortunately, this alien battleship is equipped with advanced technology of highly civilized creatures, so things like cleaning and housework can be completely left to machines.
For someone like him who doesn't like doing housework, this is a godsend.
Gal did not like using the more convenient and quicker bathing cabin on the Reda.
Lie down and take a nap, and your body will become clean.
Without the feeling of hot water flowing over his body and without applying shower gel by hand, he will feel that his body is not cleaned.
Taking a comfortable bath can sometimes be a very relaxing thing.
Gal stood up from the bathtub sprinkled with insect bath salts and pressed the red button on the wall, and the bathtub automatically folded up.
Gal used the shower head with automatically adjusted water temperature to wash off the foam on his body.
When he was getting dressed, he saw that the sleeves were clearly several centimeters above his wrists, and Gal thought it was because he had not straightened his clothes properly.
After he put the clothes on and took them off several times, the sleeves were still above his wrists.
Does the secondary metamorphosis of higher insects also have the function of increasing height?
Apart from this face that is enough to amaze the world, Gal is dissatisfied with many things in his current body.
His two biggest dissatisfactions were her body shape like a white rooster and her height which was much shorter than that of everyone else on the Reda.
Gal didn't expect that this fatal height could be saved. He quickly put on his shirt and pants and rushed out of the bathroom with excitement on his face.
"Angus, Angus, can you help me check if I have grown taller?" Gal rushed out in a hurry without even buttoning his shirt.
Angus, who changed back from a lion, was also shirtless. Gal selfishly took a few more glances at his perfectly placed muscles.
"It seems to have grown more than a little." Angus glanced at the male insect's obviously narrow shirt and trouser legs curled up above the ankles.
Orcs only reach maturity once. If their height does not change much in the year before maturity, they will not be able to grow taller in their lifetime.
The height of orcs has a lot to do with their race. Their original forms are large beasts such as tigers, lions, and brown bears, so their human forms are naturally tall and mighty. Orcs whose original forms are mice and birds have relatively small human forms.
This is determined by genes and is hardly affected by the external environment.
How could he know that male insects of higher order have two chances to change themselves in their lifetime?
This second metamorphosis represents their true entry into the mature stage, just like adolescent children and adults with fully developed skeletons. In just a few short days, the male insects often undergo earth-shaking changes.
"And your face..." Angus moved closer.
"My face? What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Gal reached out and touched his face. It was smooth and clean, and he didn't feel anything foreign.
Under Angus's gaze, he opened the full-length mirror hidden in the closet in a daze.
The young man in the mirror did scare him.
The face that was originally a little chubby has become thinner, the jaw angle has become more obvious, the soft lines have become more resolute, and the whole face tends to be handsome rather than soft.
My overall frame has grown in size, and the clothes that once fit me perfectly now look too small for me.
It's like a confused office worker who is in a hurry to get to work and accidentally puts on clothes from his high school days in the closet.
Compared to his previous underdeveloped body, Gal is of course more satisfied with his current appearance as a mature man.
Although he was not as good as Angus, at least when he stood in front of the crowd, he no longer looked like a child among adults.
"The pain I've endured these days has not been in vain." Gal looked in the mirror and admired his current figure and face.
If it weren't for his stunning face, if it was someone with ordinary looks, this would just make people feel narcissistic and greasy.
But because it was him, the noble owner of the Reda, Gal, the way he muttered to himself in front of the mirror just looked so innocent, making people want to hold this beautiful lady in their arms and coax her.
Even Angus's mood changed along with Gal.
"Amo, where are Aiden and the others?"
Gal suddenly remembered that the group of female insects had determined that he could not survive the second metamorphosis of a male insect by his own willpower.
Now he wanted to walk up to the group of female insects and let them see that he was an exception among the male insects.
"Your Highness, according to positioning, the female insect Aiden is now at the door of your main cabin." Amo's voice came.
At the door?
Those female insects must have been worried about him, so they sent Aiden as a representative to guard his door.
Ah Mo, "Excuse me, Your Highness, should we inform Aiden to come in?"
Hearing this, Angus glared at the surveillance camera in the corner of the room with resentment.
This damn intelligent machine allowed it to ask the male insect this question on its own initiative.
The female insect had bad intentions towards Gal. In his opinion, it would be best for Gal to send the female insect far away so that she would not bother the silver-haired male insect.
Gal looked down at his disheveled appearance and said, "No, don't let him in. I'm going to leave soon."
All the clothes in Gal's room were prepared according to his previous body. After searching through all the boxes and drawers for a long time, he couldn't find a single piece of clothing that was suitable for his current body.
"You should be able to wear my clothes. I'll go get one from next door. You wait here."
Angus pressed the silver-haired male insect with his clothes scattered on the cleaned bed, and took a sterilized blanket to wrap the male insect tightly.
"Just wait for me for a moment."
Obviously he was just going to the next door to get some clothes, but the orc took three steps and then turned back, leaving Gal confused.
During the days when the male worms were undergoing their second metamorphosis, no female worm could rest well, so they agreed to take turns guarding the door of the male worm's room, with a female worm taking over every four cycles.
Aiden replaced the last female just one cycle hour ago.
The longest time for a male insect to undergo its second metamorphosis is seven days. Now, this main cabin door has been closed for five days, with no one going out or in, and no one knows what is happening inside.
The moment he heard the sound of the door, Aiden jumped up from the ground.
"Why you?"
When she saw who was coming, the smile on Aiden's face suddenly disappeared, and the female insect's face turned into a big block of ice emitting coldness.
"Female insect, let me remind you that I am the highest military commander appointed by your Highness personally. If you disrespect me, I will punish you by sending you to extra training."
Angus glanced at the other party coldly, then walked forward on his own. He seemed to not care about the female insect's anger at all.
Aiden was gagged by the beastman's words.
He was right. Whether in the Zerg army or on this desolate planet, soldiers who disrespect their superiors should be punished by their superiors.
He didn't care about being punished by this male beastman to open up a more dangerous area. He cared more about the male insect's current condition than his own.
This is the higher race of insects. In the hearts of female insects, the male insects they recognize are the first in everything.
Aiden quickly followed him again, "How is His Highness now? It's dangerous to leave him alone in the room. Someone must be watching over the male insect that has undergone secondary metamorphosis."
"Angus, Angus, sir, sir, will you answer me?"
A taciturn female insect, for the sake of a male insect, can put aside her dignity and follow the beastman he dislikes, nagging and asking endless questions.
Angus was full of hostility towards this female insect who was "almost" having sex with Gal.
In higher insect species, it is legal for a male insect to marry a hundred female insects. Moreover, since they are of the same species, it is normal for female insects to court male insects.
He is just an orc who has a contractual relationship with Gal.
Why would they want to stop the higher insects from doing what they did? And why would they be so hostile to this female insect?
It's really strange. He can't control his temper recently. He always loses his temper and has wild thoughts for no reason.
I feel confused and have many thoughts, as if I have been drugged by some kind of mental disorder.
"Sir? Has His Highness successfully survived the second metamorphosis?"
The female insect's voice kept getting louder and louder, bringing Angus back to the real world.
Why was he being so sentimental? Gal was still lying naked on the bed, waiting for him to bring her clothes.
The resources on this battleship are limited, and each person is given a small amount of clothing. Angus took out a piece of clothing from the closet that is more in line with the male insect's style of dress.
"Your Highness is not as fragile as you think. He has successfully survived the metamorphosis."
A strong general who was supposed to be fighting the enemy on the battlefield became a guy who could trample on his dignity because of the male insect he cared about.
It is hard to imagine how corrupt and deformed the social system of the higher insect races is.
Angus finally softened his heart, and before leaving, he left the female insect these words that were enough to reassure her.
*
The news that Gal had safely survived the second metamorphosis quickly reached the ears of the female insects.
The female insects gathered from all directions and gathered at the main cabin door.
"Your Highness, are you injured? I have trauma medicine here and can give you simple treatment."
"Your Highness, please try it. This is the nutritious soup I made using the cooking skills of the insect tribe. It is good for your current body."
"Your Highness, let Amo prepare a checkup for you. The impact of the secondary metamorphosis is far-reaching."
“Your Highness…”
“Your Highness…”
The tall female insects surrounded Gal, and voices calling him came from all directions.
Gal felt like Sun Wukong who was controlled by Buddha.
"Ahem, okay, everyone, get out of the way. I'm going to the infirmary for a detailed physical examination."
Gal took the jar from the female insect holding the hot soup and said, "Thank you for the nutritious soup. I will drink it."
He gave the female a polite smile.
This smile didn't matter to him. The female insects were all bewitched and intoxicated by the beauty's smile.
The male insects and the tall beastman gradually walked away, and the female insects finally came back to their senses from their various fantasies.
"Your Highness took my soup? He even said thank you to me. My God, how could such a male insect be expelled from the higher insect race?"
A female insect stood up to defend Gal.
"Who says it's not true? The corrupt old guys in the Zerg government should have stepped down long ago. They would rather spend a lot of money to support some so-called royal bloodlines than investigate His Highness Gal's affairs."
"Hey, His Highness just smiled at me. He is really gentle."
"Your Highness looks even better after the second transformation. How can there be such an excellent male insect in this world? Alas, this kind of male insect is not something that female insects like us can get."
This group of 1.9-meter-tall guys gathered together with red cheeks, and expressed their admiration and appreciation for Gal to their companions.
"Speaking of the second metamorphosis, Your Highness did not become weaker after this metamorphosis, and your condition is obviously better. From this point of view, Your Highness's spiritual power level is at least not lower than B."
Mental strength often represents the level that a male insect can reach in various aspects. The higher the mental strength, the better the male insect is at personal expertise and male-female relationships.
Among the higher-level insect species, only a dozen male insects developed S-level mental power after the second metamorphosis, and there were about a hundred at A-level, with most of the male insects being below B-level.
S-level beings are those who can bring significant impact to the country. They are secretly protected by the Zerg government, and some of them spend their entire lives carrying out secret missions.
Class A male insects are active in the military, medicine, education, and other fields, and have also brought many positive impacts to society.
Those below level B are more suitable for unimportant jobs, and some don't even need to work for their entire lives. They can live comfortably with the money they earn from female insects.
As the owner of the Reda, the lord of the desolate planet D81, and their master.
The higher the level of Gal's mental power, the greater the help he will bring to the warriors.
While the female insects were discussing heatedly, Aiden sneaked out from a group of female insects and followed the silver-haired male insect all the way.
In addition to various weapons and daily necessities, the battleship is also equipped with a full range of instruments for examining the bodies of male insects.
A-Mo still materialized into that ugly little robot.
The robot held a palm-sized ball and came to Gal. "Your Highness, please put your hand over the detector. It may be a little painful, so please be patient."
Although Gal didn't know the use of this thing, he was sure that Amo would not harm him.
As the little robot said, he stretched out his right palm and placed his palm directly on the ball.
The moment his skin touched the ball, his palm seemed to be glued to it and he couldn't move it no matter how hard he tried.
"What's going on?" Gal subconsciously turned around and asked the blond orc for help.
However, before Angus could react, Gal felt a sharp pain in the center of his palm.
It felt like being pricked by a fine needle in the palm of my hand.
It was just a brief tingling sensation, even more painful than when he collided with his opponent while playing basketball.
Amo's serious warning almost made Gal imagine how much pain he would suffer.
"Angus, look, the ball has turned colorful."
That's right. The moment the crystal ball in Gal's palm came into contact with the male insect's blood, a rainbow-like light burst out from within.
It looked like a scene from a magic show.
As time went by, the colorful colors began to fade, leaving only the bright red.
The inside of the crystal ball was bright red, like a pool of stagnant water, and no longer undergoing any changes.
"What does this mean?" Gal asked puzzledly.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. Your mental power level is measured to be S, close to SS level. You can develop the abilities of at least two male insects." A cold mechanical voice came out from the robot's opening and closing mouth.
Gal, the human who occupied the body of a male insect, couldn't understand again.
What is the mental power of S close to double S, and what is the 'ability of male insects'?
He was like a college student who had accidentally entered the classroom by mistake, and the knowledge points given by the teacher floated before his eyes as if he was listening to a foreign language.
Fortunately, the male insect's body had been hit by the shock and its brain had been damaged to a certain extent. Amo judged his memory loss at this time to be the sequelae of that shock.
"S-level?" A loud shout came from outside the door.
"Who's there?" Angus took a big step and blocked the male insect with his body.
The orc's body, like a small mountain, protected him, and Gal's heart, which had been beating wildly with fear, suddenly calmed down.
"Your Highness, it's me, Aiden."
The female insect pushed open the door with a small gap, and after entering, she bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle.
From this angle, it looks like he is bowing to Angus.
But Angus was self-aware and knew that the female insect's respect was for the one behind him.
"Your Highness, the higher the male insect's mental power level, the stronger your strength will be." Aiden walked around the blond orc and came within the male insect's field of vision.
He didn't get too close, just stayed two meters away from the male insect.
"Mental strength is an ability that only male insects have. It is divided into several levels: SS, S, A, B, C, D, and E."
"S-level and double S-level male insects are rare in the history of the higher insect race. Now, there are only a dozen male insects in the entire higher insect race that can reach S-level, and there is only one double S-level male insect, His Majesty the Insect King."
"If you were still in the Zerg, you would definitely..." Aiden didn't continue the next sentence.
The female insect was worried that mentioning that the male insect was expelled from the country by the higher insect tribes would remind the male insect of his life on his home planet and make him feel bad.
How could he know that their male insect prince didn't miss the insect home planet at all.
In this way, his S-level mental power, which is close to double S-level, is considered a dragon-phoenix among humans among the higher-level insect races.
Gal was now immersed in this new knowledge he had learned about his male body.
"Then, what does Amo mean by 'the ability of male insects'?" The golden eyes stared directly at the humble female insect in front of him.
"Your Highness, every male insect of A-rank and above will gain a special ability after the second metamorphosis, such as appearance change, space bag... Each male insect has different abilities."
"Because of the difference in mental power level, an A-level male insect can only develop one 'ability' in his lifetime, but an S-level male insect can develop two, and a double S-level male insect can develop up to five 'abilities'."
Gar is S-level, close to double S-level, so Amo said that at least "two" results can be developed.
"Then why don't I feel like I have any special abilities?"
Gal did what he did when he asked questions to his professional course teacher in college—he sat up straight and raised his hand obediently.
The female insect and the beastman were both struck by the cute side of the male insect, and they both pursed their lips and took a deep breath.
