Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 1686 Time To Evolve Once More!

.

.

.

But before assessing everyone else, I really should just evolve! I am quite pumped up to see what I could become now. Although if we compare it with my previous evolutions back in Genesis, it was something like…

Caterpillar -> Blue Butterfly -> Black Butterfly -> Red Butterfly -> Small Fairy -> Mid Fairy -> Big Fairy -> Even bigger Fairy -> God Fairy - > God Fairy -> God Fairy -> God Fairy -> God Fairy -> God Fairy -> God Fairy…

Yeah, it lacks a lot of originality, let's be honest. However, I got a lot of cool stuff in between and ultimately, evolutions became very boring because nothing much ever changed. Maybe I should had tried changing my race altogether or something?

But for now, the evolutions so far had been slightly more interesting…

Caterpillar -> Cocoon -> Metallic Cocoon -> Butterfly (That can turn into tiny fairy)

I guess I have only evolved four times, but each evolution was quite interesting. And I even went through two Cocoon stages which were stages I skipped back in Genesis… Now what else comes? I would assume another Butterfly with even bigger wings and a more monstrous appearance, right?

Right now I am a Vampire Soul Devourer Butterfly, so to align to my Chaos stuff, I might get Chaos Butterfly or something like Holy Butterfly too due to my other big skills being all about holiness. I've really been investing into this element. Maybe I am innately planning to use them all on Hel whenever I see her again.

I guess Bubu broke the norm there, as he evolved from an larvae inside an egg to small caterpillar larvae and then gained dragon traits and became a draconic bug caterpillar thing that looks super metal and awesome. Though he seems to be able to go a smaller and compact and adorable caterpillar form as well.

Well, whatever's the case, let's see what I can get now…

[Available Evolution Options]

[Primordial Chaos Mystic Eyed Butterfly]

[Rank]: [A+]

A monstrous aberrant Butterfly that traverses the Universe seeking to devour Chaos Fragments and other Miasmic Essences. Its beautiful appearance can easily deceive most hunters into thinking they're inoffensive little creatures. But in fact they're monstrously strong in both physical and magical combat and possess enormous wings with eyes on them which can conjure Mystic Eye Skills with deadly Status Effects to inflict foes before devouring them. A vicious monster. Evolution Options are limited.

-----

[Primordial Chaos Void Traversing Moth]

[Rank]: [A+]

A monstrous moth, a great competitor of Primordial Chaos Butterflies that traverses the Universe with its enormous wings. Prefers dark areas to rest and abhors light. Its wings possess the ability to traverse across the void itself, helping on movement and maneuverability in both combat and traveling. It can develop Void and Spatial Skills and Spells, although they might be all about escaping, as it is a very cowardly monster. Once cornered, it will attack by trying to trap its attackers in between space walls. Evolution Options are vast.

-----

[Primordial Chaos Phantasmal Nightmare Butterfly]

[Rank]: [A+]

A mysterious Butterfly said to wander across Nightmare and Dream Realms only. It feeds on the horrendous Nightmares of its prey and enjoys seeing them suffer as much as it can. It often finds good prey and uses deadly magic to provoke nightmares into them, making them suffer and agonize as it feeds on their traumas, fears, and ultimately devours their whole souls. Evasive by nature but not completely afraid of fighting, it will ferociously fight to the death if cornered. Evolution Options are immensely vast.

These damn descriptions are like those of some sort of monster journal thing… And these three evolutions look pretty interesting. One that uses eyes in the wings, the moth that travels across the void, and then the last one, a nightmare devourer. All of them sounds interesting. I suppose I will go for the last one anyways, I need to expand my repertoire of Magic, I seriously lack stuff for illusion attribute and more…

Ding!

[You have chosen the [Primordial Chaos Phantasmal Nightmare Butterfly] Evolution Option!]

[Evolution has begun!]

FLASH!

The moment I selected the evolution option, I was quickly encompassed by a cocoon of darkness and chaos, and then felt incredibly sleepy. I guess this is a good opportunity to just sleep for the moment.

…

"Is Kireina inside of that?"

"I can't tell, I guess?"

"Why is she there though?"

"Dunno…"

"I saw this before, she's probably evolving, maybe?"

"Remember Bubu, he got into an egg when evolving, maybe Kireina will hatch in a few hours, give or take."

"We shouldn't disturb her, if we break the cocoon midway through her evolution, she could die or something."

"Yeah, let's-"

CRAAASH!

I was quickly woken up by the voice of my companions, as I broke through the cocoon with my jaws. I felt like my body was more than ready already, so I had no time wasting it and quickly broke out without problems.

I felt that my body grew… at least three times as big. I was easily over 7 meters big now, and my six legs were enormous and filled with muscle fibers inside. The tips had sharp claws that easily sliced through the cocoon.

My jaws had become even more monstrous, sharp, and elaborate, countless of pincer-like insectoid fangs made up the horrendous jaws I possessed. I felt like I had become even more of a bugger now.

My eyes grew big, red colored and with many lenses. I could see far and wide, many times at once within my eyes, which was pretty awesome. My wings were long and it felt just nice to spread them out. They had beautiful pink and black color patterns resembling eyes and butterflies flying.

And of course, my exoskeleton was reinforced once again, metallic and with many natural layers, it felt like I had become a walking tank with wings. Evolution never felt so nice ever since the first days back in Genesis…

"Oh man, that was a nice nap…" I sighed in relief.

Ding!
