Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 1843 Confronting The Necrotic Plane Ruler's Abyssal Tentacle

.

.

.

Leaving aside my new and unexpected affair with Frank, a lot of things happened yesterday. The battle against Elfina and then Hel possesing her. Stopping the invasion of the Necrotic Plane and the entire world from being devoured by the Ruler of this Plane, and also, all the powerups I got.

Through the battle I even went further beyond and decided to create a truly powerful Ego, by combining two Max Level Path Jewels together with many strong Ego Fragments and then my new Grand Supreme Dao of Primordial Gluttony, the amazing Path Jewel Ego, Ouroboros, was born.

Unlike my other Path Jewels, Ouroboros is rather different. She's quite silent and only talks when she's feeling hungry or senses tasty things. She can also materialize into a red snake, which startled Frank when we were taking a shower, hahah…

And she's insanely overpowered. Her stats are through the roof in some areas and she's just amazingly insane. Thanks to equipping her into my body, I was able to do something named "Trait Resonance" allowing me to utilize my own Trait to sever all sorts of boundaries and even concepts temporarily.

The cooldown for it doesn't seem clear at all, but I think I can use it again now, though I might not be able to use it in many hours later. Maybe like almost a whole day. It also uses tons of divine power, so I can't overuse it against everything.

One of Ouroboros special abilities is her power to permanently equip herself into my body… meaning that the blue, red, and purple jewel in the middle of my forehead will remain there forever, because that's her, haha…

The special jewels that grew over my body died with me in Genesis, so I guess it's nice to have my characteristic forehead one back. Her powers are a bit too insane, so I'll need to slowly get used to them.

Oh, and we also got a lot of EXP, all of us. Everyone leveled up too much, perhaps. The twins evolved already into High Spiritual Desert Elf King/Queen already, being closer to S Rank monsters than ever before. Brunhild as well evolved into an "Ancient Titan Sorceress". Yeah, her Giantess Race became a Titaness… We'll have to find out why later on.

Luminous had yet to get his next evolution but he's already more than halfway through. Frank seems to have hit max level and got some new Job Classes and Subclass as well, which strengthened him a lot on top of his normal stats and system. He told me his Soul Book said he became a "Cosmic Human".

I guess calling him Cosmic Boy wasn't that wrong, huh? Heh…

And anyways, of course, I also leveled up quite a bit. I was just assessing my gains as we departed into the desert for a small cleanup of monsters, and to find a pesky giant tentacle going around.

Ding!

[Calculating EXP Earned…]

[You earned 120000000 EXP]

[LEVEL UP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[Your Level has increased from Level 55 to Level 67!]

[All Your Stats have increased!]

[You learned Skill Points and Stat Points!]

[You gained Skill Proficiency Bonus, several Skills have leveled up!]

[Due to having surpassed 100000 Divinity, your [Skill Library] has evolved into a [Divine Skill Library]!]

[The power of your Grand Supreme Dao of Primordial Gluttony has boosted the effects of [Divine Skill Library], granting the effects of [Bookmark] and [Fusion], alongside [Assimilation]!]

[[Bookmark]: Allows the register of any learned Skill within the Divine Skill Library, Bookmarks can be used to find these Skills or relearn them if they're ever lost. Of course at the exchange of Skill Points. Additionally, sometimes it is possible to copy Skills from others through Bookmarking them and completing special Quests.]

[[Fusion]: Grants the ability to fuse existing Skills within the [Divine Skill Library], and also existing skills to create greater Skills in exchange of Skill Points.]

[[Assimilation]: By devouring foes by utilizing Divinity of Devouring, Grand Supreme Dao of Primordial Gluttony, or other similar, there's a chance to acquire Skills which then will be stored in the [Divine Skill Library].]

I see, I guess we're back to having this power, though it seems more personalized and different at the same time. I did fuse a lot of stuff, so I guess these came from my innate ability to merge powers together. It'll be interesting what I can come out with for now. It could be said the Skill Library will do the whole filtering for me.

Ah, there's a lot of Skills at Max Level now, and my stats have increased exponentially too. Oh, and my Cosmic Resistance Skill leveled up a lot as well. Seems like all of that fight (and that one night) improved the Skill more than I imagined.

Now, I wonder what I should invest my Skill Points into… More new Skills or perhaps to get a new Path Jewel? I guess Path Jewels are random, but their power is very good, while Skill Library can just give me anything I need, but in the form of a Level 1 Skill.

Or I could also fuse my already existing Skills to get something nicer.

"Hmmm…"

RUMBLE!

Before I could fully decide, and while we were flying on my butterfly form across the skies with my friends on my back, the desert below us started shaking, and several creatures started to emerge out of the sands. They looked like the typical desert monsters, but completely aberrant.

Their bodies were completely black, they had tentacles, many eyes, and even red flesh around them, they were even uglier than when they get infested with Miasma, which usually only gives them a black color and more strength.

"Are these the monsters you were talking about, Luminous?" I wondered.

"Yes, those are! They're monsters that were infested with the Netherworld Energy from the Necrotic Plane! They have become something I call Eldritch monsters. They're all as strong as A Rank monsters, let's quickly take care of them before they can cause more harm!" Luminous said.

"Got it!" I nodded. "Alright Elfina, do you think you can support us as usual?"

"I-I'll do my best!" Elfina nodded, quickly raising her staff and unleashing a powerful Golden and White-colored aura, enchanting all our stats, especially those of her Summons.

"GRUOOOHHHHH!"

However, that wasn't all, a gigantic monster began emerging from the sands, and this time, it was a giant black tentacle.

"There it is! The forbidden Takoyaki!" I said.

"Why are you thinking of Takoyaki when you see that thing?!" Frank was perplexed.

"Well it looks tasty! No?" I wondered.

"N-Not really…" Frank sighed.

"KIREINAAAAAA… KILL…! I'LL KILL YOUUUUUU…!"

The giant tentacle began speaking a loud voice. It was indeed one of the tentacles that were left behind by the Ruler of the Necrotic Plane! I knew it.

"I guess we have yet to get rid of your annoying presence, bastard." I smiled back at him, shapeshifting back into a half bug and half-humanoid form while everyone floated in midair using Wind Magic from the twins. "Now, Ouroboros, time for a nice, tasty meal!"

FLUOSH!

The Path Jewel Ego in my forehead began shining brightly as I channeled Divine Power and Cosmic Energy into her body, Ouroboros immediately used her Embodiment Skill, as a gigantic red snake made of deadly energy and cosmic power appeared out of thin air, opening her massive jaws and biting the tentacle while coiling around its body!

CRAAAASHH!
