Epic Of Caterpillar

As I drank the Divinity Fragment Elixirs, my soul began to convulse and shiver with new power, overflowing my very being. Each condensed fragment of divinity became one with my soul and my messed up chaotic divinity, amassing even more power.

And as I was relaxing from this powerful feeling of exhilaration, the System greets me with a few windows.

Ding!

Fufufu…

This!

I could not help but laugh maliciously, becoming a bit edgy in the process.

My family and friends glanced at me as I laughed while bathing n the sun with my sunglasses.

"Why is mommy laughing?" asked Ailine.

"She's very happy! Maybe she got a nice item, gu!" said Rimuru.

"I see! I'm glad she's happy!" said Ailine.

"She sounds a bit creepy though…" said Ryo.

"What's up with her now?" wondered Amiphossia.

Ah, I stopped laughing as I averted my gaze from them, it gave me a bit of embarrassment now…

A-Anyways, I got a bunch of stats and stuff… oh, and some Skills leveled up in the process as well.

It seems that the System could not take in all the Skill names, so various of them were put into categories when they showed me that they leveled up.

The Divine-related Skills encompass all divine, of course. All the Skills I get from eating Weapons for example, or things such as Divine Body and stuff.

And then the Magic-related Skills are all those that are below the category of 'Magic'.

Hm… I guess it is pretty obvious, so I don't need to explain, right?

[The Levels of the [Labyrinth's Sovereign Magic; Level 7], [Divine Dungeon Body Entity: Level 4], [Divine Dungeon Body Transformation: Level 4], [Limit Break: Level 3], [Nyarlathotep: Level 3], [Brigit: Level 2], [Demiurge: Level 1], [Divine-Related Skills], [Magic-Related Skills (Except Helios, Disease Magic, and Transcendental Venom Attribute Source)], [Uroboros; Level 6], [Luxuria: Level 1], [Great Possessor of the Zenith of Sins: Ruler of Lust: Level 1], [Gentle Divine Ice Fairy Empress Daughter of Skadi: Lazuli; Level 1], [Great Titaness Great Goddess' Earth and Life Mother: Gaia: Level 1], [Oceanic Chimeric Divine Empress of Water Fluctuations: Hydros: Level 1], [Inner World; Fragmented Divine Realm; Level 5], [Inner Realm: Labyrinth World: Level 2], [Phantom Blood Transformation and Manipulation; Level 9], [Parasitizing Symbiosis Haven; Level 8], [Parasitized Husk Body; Level 7], [Forceful Parasite and Host Mutualistic Bond; Level 7], [Divine Soul Parasitism Technique: Level 1], [Primordial Essence Elixir Spring: Level 1], [Divine Aura of Aberrant and Chaotic Amalgamation Grotesqueness: Nightmares, Venom, Life, Light, Parasitism, Space, Fire: Level 4], [Multi-Talented Hive Mind Queen; Level 5], [External Parallel Thought Processing; Level 3], [Weather Manipulation; Level 7], [Divine Element and Golem Creation, Transmutation, and Materialization: Level 1], [Fusion: Level 2], [Body Merge: Level 2], [Soul Merge: Level 2], and [True Divine Aberrant Existence: Demon Goddess Hermaphroditus Nyarlathotep: Level 2] Skills have increased!]

Even with the abbreviation of two categories of Skills, this is still crazy, way too many Skills…

But funnily enough, I just remember every single one of them.

It is rather funny how many Skills I have yet I remember every single one of them and rarely forget to use them in battle.

The thing is, I often combine their effects in battle a lot, so their effects are often way different than they originally are.

I also got a ton of stats, Skill Points, and Dungeon Points… Quite insane, to be honest.

But even if this seems 'ridiculous', I am still quite nothing in the big scheme of things…

Very ridiculous, it makes me angry.

It feels as if this is just all a false feeling of power because I am simply nothing when compared to guys like 'The One', or even those above him…

I mean, I know it still pretty early to even aim for such a level of power, but it still frustrates me a bit.

I have to simply keep striving forward and keep amassing more power as I go.

After all, 'The One', himself blessed me, so my already ridiculous growth had become even more ridiculous. He admitted that as long as I keep going as I am… I should get there eventually.

But just how long is eventually?!

Sigh…

I have not even gotten out of this damned Realm, I should not get so cocky over it, and do the things that realistically approachable for now.

I glance at some of the items, as I find an EXP Potion and something named [Premium Double Experience Points Card (Heavenly)].

What is this thing?

I read its description and find out that it is just like its name implies… It is an item that I simply have to activate, and it will give me double my EXP gained for 24 hours.

Ah… Just like in games.

But if I just eat it?

Chomp.

I munch into it, it tastes like a very hard piece of plastic reinforced with steel, damn.

I crunch into it bit by bit, it seems that I can eat this thing.

I gulp it all down, and my mysterious stomach does the rest.

Ding!

[Kireina] acquired the following Skills]

[Heavenly Card of Double EXP: Level 1]

Yep.

Why would I use an item whose effect lasts 24 hours when I can simply get it permanently by eating it and getting a Skill?

And because it was a Heavenly-Rank Item, I was sure to get some Skill with it…

Wait for a second, did I just ate a Heavenly-Rank Item?

Maybe this is an exception to the rest?

I remember trying, but Heavenly-Rank items cant be eaten by me yet…

Maybe this one guy was different than the rest?

Although it could be Heavenly-Rank, maybe the quality was lower?

I try to punch a Heavenly-Rank weapon. My teeth simply slip off it and produce a sharp ear-wrenching sound.

Yeah, I can't eat it… yet.

Let's see this Skill…

[Heavenly Card of Double EXP: Level 1/10]

Materializes the Heavenly Card of Double EXP, which can be used to gain double EXP for 24 Hours.

Cost: Primordial Essence.

Hmm… That is quite the resumed Skill description.

Does it have a limit?

And it cost Primordial Essence!

Agh, so I have to use this precious power…

Well, I can get as many as I want, as long as I am willing to pay the price.

Ding!

[The [Heavenly Card of Double EXP: Level 1] Skill has been integrated into the [Primordial Essence Elixir Spring: Level 2] Skill!]

What? Hey! Do not do that without my permission!

And the Skill is gone, just like that.

But its effects seem to remain within this Primordial Essence Elixir Spring Skill.

I tried it out and the Card costs ten thousand Primordial Essence… Seeing how I got like over 6 million, I can get one whenever I am fighting something that could give a lot of EXP, like a God… Although I might get one every day for the EXP that I get in the morning to double even more.

Decisions, Decisions…

Anyways, I drank the EXP Potion to see some of the effects, as I already had the card in my hands, I used it and it turned into dust.

Yeah, I tried to eat it again, but it simply made it disappear, so I didn't try to eat it completely.

Getting the double EXP effect, I drank the EXP Potion, and it felt as if I drank two instead of one.

Ding!

[Kireina] has gathered the sufficient amount of required Experience Points!]

[Kireina] Level has increased from Level: 133 to Level: 135!]

[Current Level: 135/250]

Oh, two levels, pretty good… Now I am around… 115 levels off my raise to 'official' godhood?

I cannot wait…

I wonder in which situation will I be when it finally is time for that…

Hopefully, not in the middle of a battle or something, that would suck…

Now that we got that out of the way… Time to open the other Treasure Chests, the ones that often contain Equipment, which was as follows:

[Lesser Legendary Relic of the Abyssal Piranha Hunter of the Swap] x1

[Lesser Legendary Relic of the Necrotic Poisonous Toad Emperor] x1

Perhaps more than I have ever gathered in a single place, a tad bit ridiculous, to be honest.

Should I really eat them all?

Hm… Yes, of course!

But first, I open them.
