The small Nanomechanical Cluster, currently only the size of an earthworm, devoured the piece of Beast Gold like a ravenous beast.
Almost immediately, the once silver-gray Nanomechanical Cluster turned a brilliant silver, with arcs of electricity flashing across it.
Shen Feng had already used a control backdoor in the Nanomechanical Cluster to completely take over this small swarm of Nanomechanical Insects. He could now feel the immense energy it contained, a power completely different from before.
Just then, however, the Nanomechanical Cluster—having just reached its peak strength—began to rapidly decay. Its internal microstructures started to collapse in large numbers, and its energy dissipated into the surroundings.
Shen Feng's brow furrowed. He realized these first-generation Nanomechanical Insects were not the final, complete version. They had numerous structural defects and still needed to continue evolving.
