Do you think this world is serious?

Once Delta completes the third stage of evolution, she will become the most perfect life form and can grow and evolve indefinitely, but achieving this stage is extremely difficult.

Continuing to devour insect beasts will only allow her to evolve to the level of an insect queen, but will prevent her from completing the third stage of evolution.

To truly complete the third stage of evolution, she must devour the Queen, thereby freeing herself from the Queen and inheriting all of the Queen's power.

Although the Queen of Insects needs to devour Delta to achieve ultimate transcendence, there is no concept of evolutionary stages; she has already evolved to the limit of this world bubble.

Only by transcending this bubble of world can the queen insect continue to evolve.

Delta was well aware of the gap between herself and the Queen, and never dared to dream of turning against the Queen; she could only try her best to avoid the Queen.

With Chen Xiuming's help, her evolution speed will advance by leaps and bounds, and she may very well be able to replace the queen insect.

After having a full meal, Chen Xiuming didn't rest. While sorting through his previous catch, he continued to feed Delta the corpses of the insect beasts.

In addition to a large quantity of canned goods, he also collected a lot of old clothes and furniture that could still be used.

With a little modification, the furniture could be used as beds, and the old clothes that were no longer needed were sewn together by Chen Xiuming to serve as curtains for partitions or as thin blankets.

No matter how strong you are or how good your physique is, you must at least cover your belly button when you sleep, otherwise you will definitely get sick.

This was Chen Xiuming's habit before he traveled through time, and it is also a long-standing "custom".

Chapter 90 It doesn't matter, I will make my move eventually.

After Delta finished eating all the insect and beast corpses that Chen Xiuming had collected, she boldly put her head on Chen Xiuming's lap and fell asleep, claiming that she needed to rest for a while to digest the food.

Since Seele had just woken up, she didn't go to sleep immediately after eating her fill like Delta did. Instead, she sat quietly next to Chen Xiuming, gently stroking Anila's fur.

"Brother Chen Xiuming, is the outside world very dangerous?"

Seele asked in a low voice, her words revealing a hint of curiosity.

Chen Xiuming could guess Xi'er's thoughts; she simply wanted to see the outside world.

"Actually, it's fine. As long as you stay by my side, you'll be very safe—Does Seele want to go out for a walk?"

“Yes! Xi’er doesn’t want to stay here doing nothing. Xi’er also wants to help Brother Chen Xiuming.”

“When Delta wakes up, I’ll take you out for a walk and check out the city center.”

"Good~"

Seele responded sweetly, and her previously gloomy mood instantly brightened.

Chen Xiuming patted Xi'er's head and then sighed softly in his heart.

He miscalculated this time by not stocking up on food beforehand.

In his mind, this time he was traveling through world bubbles alone, so his need for food was not too high, and most of the world bubbles had human civilization, so there would be no shortage of food.

Even in a world bubble where humanity has perished, food can still be obtained by hunting wild animals. After all, in the world bubble where Kiana destroyed the world, although human civilization had perished, all living beings in the world had not been wiped out.

Things that happen in this world are beyond Chen Xiuming's expectations.

Who would have thought that the Honkai series would feature a "Kuro-style" art style?

If Seele hadn't been involved, he could have easily gone hungry for a few days and used Kiana's power to quickly pass through this world bubble.

However, now that Seele has been accidentally brought into this world by him, he has a responsibility to take care of her, and at the very least, he shouldn't let Seele go hungry.

Although Seele accidentally entered this world bubble, which seems to be dangerous, it's a good thing. At least she doesn't have to continue drifting in the void to the point where she can barely maintain her sense of self.

Having learned from this experience of traversing the World Bubble, Chen Xiuming will prioritize preparing some easily preserved food inside the World Bubble before his next traversal.

"Instead of preparing food, perhaps we could..."

Chen Xiuming seemed to have thought of something, muttering to himself thoughtfully, his gaze already fixed on Delta, who was sleeping with her head on his lap.

Once Delta becomes a worm and inherits all of the worm queen's power, she will also possess the ability to drive the evolution of all things.

This ability is not like Cecilia and Anila's "plant-growth-inducing" ability, nor does it cause organisms to undergo disordered mutations like the Queen of Insects; rather, it is a true form of benign evolution.

After all, Delta herself is undergoing positive evolution. Even the Queen of Insects needs to devour her to completely make up for her defects. The ability released based on her own body will naturally be a positive evolution.

Delta's abilities, combined with Anila's plant-growth-inducing abilities, and then dominated by Alaya consciousness and the Stigmata terminal, might be able to cultivate edible species that grow rapidly.

At that time, all that will be needed is to designate a specific area within the world bubble for breeding, and there will be no more food shortages in the future.

If the edible species cultivated tastes good, money can be made by selling the meat.

Thinking about this, Chen Xiuming's thoughts gradually diverged, giving rise to all sorts of strange ideas.

For example, giving a species the effects of "nourishing yin and strengthening the kidneys" or "beautifying the skin," or cultivating a special species that can participate in the synthesis of magic potions...

Chen Xiuming's thoughts wandered further and further, but he was quickly pulled back to reality by Delta's soft murmur in her sleep.

"Don't leave me alone anymore..."

Delta frowned slightly, as if she were having some kind of inescapable nightmare.

Chen Xiuming gently stroked Delta's hair, smoothing her furrowed brows and helping her gradually shake off the influence of the nightmare.

As she was freed from the nightmare's influence, she also woke up from her dream, but seemed to have a "morning grumpiness" and was unwilling to get up directly, instead continuing to rest her head on Chen Xiuming's lap.

After a long silence, she sighed softly, "This kind of life is actually quite nice."

Although it was a difficult life with only three people, and only for one night, for Delta, who had been wandering alone for a long time, this night was like a dazzling light, fiercely tearing open the loneliness in her heart.

A person dies three times in their life: biological death, social death, and existential death.

Delta did not experience biological death, but she did experience social and existential death.

Social death is not the so-called "social death," but rather the disappearance of one's "identity" in social interactions, meaning that one's identity is no longer mentioned in social situations.

Existential death is simply being forgotten by all existence, with all traces of existence being completely erased.

Delta experienced both kinds of deaths because human civilization had perished, so naturally no one would mention her in social situations, and no one would remember her existence.

So even though she was alive before, it felt like she was "dead," but now she feels like she has been "reborn."

"Life will be better from now on."

Chen Xiuming gently comforted Delta.

Delta didn't say anything, silently propped herself up, and then stretched.

"Chen Xiuming, what are we going to do now? Are we going to continue clearing out the insect beasts?"

"Hmm, I'm going to the city center to see just how troublesome the insect beasts there are."

"it is good."

Delta knew that Chen Xiuming was stronger than her, so she did not try to persuade him, but she felt a sense of urgency.

With her current strength, she would only be a burden to Chen Xiuming. She must improve her strength as soon as possible so that she can not become a burden to Chen Xiuming when facing the Queen of Insects in the future.

The naive and innocent Delta was unaware that even the seemingly invincible Queen Insect in her eyes could not escape death in front of Chen Xiuming.

Admittedly, Chen Xiuming's strength is insufficient to kill the Queen Insect, and he might not even be able to contend with her, but...

It doesn't matter.

Kiana will make her move in the end.

……

Even knowing that Chen Xiuming had cleared out all the insects and beasts in the vicinity, Xi'er was still afraid and clung tightly to the hem of Chen Xiuming's clothes.

Anila followed closely at Seele's side, faithfully carrying out her mission of protecting Seele.

Delta walked casually on Chen Xiuming's other side, gazing at the distant city center, lost in thought.

Chen Xiuming soothed Xi'er in a gentle tone, while holding Xi'er's small hand to give her a sense of security.

"There are no insect beasts around here, so there's nothing to be afraid of—insect beasts can't move, so there's no need to worry about being suddenly attacked by them."

"Yes, Seele won't be afraid!"

Seele kept a straight face, seemingly trying to prove that she wasn't afraid, but her tense expression only made her look more serious, and at the same time, made her look quite cute.

Chapter 91 "Magic Turret" Alaya Consciousness.

As Delta said, the insectoid creatures inhabiting the city center are troublesome, difficult, and troublesome.

The closer the insectoid beast is to the city center, the stronger it is.

According to Delta, the evolutionary direction of the insectoid beasts in each city is quite different. For example, the insectoid beasts in this city are developing in the direction of "integrating into the environment".

For example, if it weren't for Delta, Gana, and Kiana's warning, Chen Xiuming wouldn't have noticed that the broken wall twenty meters away was actually an insect beast.

This insectoid beast was not only outside Chen Xiuming's control over Honkai energy, but it was also perfectly disguised, without leaking even a trace of Honkai energy, and the connection between the broken rocks was seamless.

If it weren't for his trust in Kiana and Janna, Chen Xiuming wouldn't have believed that the seemingly flawless broken wall was actually an insect beast.

"This insectoid beast has an evolutionary flaw, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to discover it."

Delta murmured an explanation to Chen Xiuming, while her right arm transformed into a giant, beast-like claw, ready for battle.

Highly evolved insectoid beasts can often conceal their "insectoid beast" aura, making it difficult even for Delta to directly sense them.

That's why she was reluctant to hunt insect beasts in the city center before, as it was hard to guarantee that unknown insect beasts might be hiding in the ruins around her.

This insectoid beast disguised as a broken wall has not yet evolved to the point of concealing its "insectoid aura," which is why it was discovered by Delta.

As for Janna and Kiana of the End...

Any "Honkai Beast" weaker than Gana cannot escape Gana's senses. As for Kiana of the End, she is extremely sensitive to all beings that possess Honkai energy. As long as it contains even the slightest bit of Honkai energy, Kiana of the End will definitely sense it.

"Is it flawed...?"

Chen Xiuming seemed to be deep in thought. "Can we determine its attack range?"

"Its attack range should be around fifteen meters, but I can't guarantee that."

"it is good."
