Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 643 - So, I am a Dungeon, So What?

As I managed to devour the Premium Dungeon Core of Phantasmal-Rank, my body and even soul began to leak mysterious energy, although it was very akin to Divine Energy, its quality and essence seemed rather different.

"Kireina-sama… your entire presence…!" said Wagyu.

"She actually ate a Dungeon Core…" muttered Kekensha.

I moved a bit away from the wolves to not suppress them too much with my powerful Aura, my entire body began to burn in Divine Energy as if I were covered in oil and set ablaze, the fire within was uncontrollable to the point that my whole being became engulfed into it, I sensed that this would only stop if I were to be consumed by it, or… if I consumed this power first.

This embracing energy was clearly even stronger than having eaten a God, it seemed that the principles behind a Dungeon Core were far too different and even more complex than the Divine Soul and Divinity of a God! Just how were these things even made, to begin with?

As I began to suppress the power engulfing my whole being, I slowly started to consume this leaking Divine Energy, digesting it over and over again through the repeated use of God Devour and Uroboros all over my whole being.

Flash!

Flash!

Flash!

Three flashes of light sparked through my entire self, even the pups stopped playing around as they glanced at what was happening to me.

Then, I felt as if a large amount of energy around the entire place began to leak inside of me as if trying to fill a black hole within my entire soul and body.

Flash!

"M-Master?!" asked Wagyu.

"Master Kireina!" asked Yuki.

My wives were currently on a small trip around the city with the rest of my children, so only Nammu was here, she glanced at me with confusion.

"Mama?" she asked.

"Don\'t worry, my dear… Ugh, I am… Slowly handling it… Ah, who would have thought that eating a Dungeon Core would be this problematic…"

The surrounding energy showed up as countless streams of energy of all the three primordial energies charged with different attributes, this process was… incredibly similar to how dungeons were formed too!

Wait, am I becoming a Dungeon?

Well… I ate a Dungeon Core, so it is obvious… or is not? I really imagined something else than simply becoming a Dungeon myself!

Panicking was not my thing, so I decided to simply sit down cross-legged while trying to meditate as I ate the overflowing power and also consumed all the streams of energy rushing towards me constantly.

Spark! Spark! Spark!

Three flashes of sparking lightning suddenly fell upon my body, electricity began to acc.u.mulate as it exploded loudly one after another, darkness covered my sight as long as light, a chaotic power began to surge even more across my whole being.

This feels as if I was cultivating with a Dungeon Core, my entire being is receiving yet another small upgrade on its existence. I am grasping things that not even Gods have grasped yet.

A stream of power filled my entire being as my consciousness was driven elsewhere, I appeared in a strange space covered in countless labyrinths and dungeons, which were emerging from within the nothingness one after another!

Hundreds of magic circles and other dungeon things appeared as well, as a stream of almost endless monsters began to spawn!

And then, I felt as if my connection with both the Dungeon inside of my Inner Realm: Soul World, the Dream Attribute Dungeon, and then my Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon increased, it was as if they had suddenly become a part of myself, extensions of my own being!

The stream of thousands of differently shaped monsters appeared one after another, creating endless chaos where the fiendish creatures started to devour or attack each other, some escaped while others fought, some thrived and others made some dungeons their home. It was as if a new world made entirely out of dungeons and dungeons alone had been formed within me.

My consciousness was then driven back to reality as I glanced at my own self, I was just as before.

The chaotic spectacle came to end abruptly, as everything finally calmed down, my body had calmed too, and no more streams of energy were rushing into my own self endlessly.

But I had clearly changed, I sensed to my whole being had changed, in fact, it was strange, yet amazing. I possessed something else within me now, a large array of strange capabilities was beginning to awaken while others seemed still a bit sealed, waiting to be awakened through practice or perhaps through Class Changing.

Then, my sight was clouded with many System notifications, alerting me of my changes into a different being, at least partially.

Ding!

Wait, what?! I have… I am a Dungeon now?!

And Dungeon Points…? I have never been notified of them like this when my Dungeon acquires them up until this very moment…

Ding!

[Kireina] has unlocked the Dungeon Power Stat!]

[The Level of the [Labyrinth\'s Sovereign Magic; Level 5] Skill has increased!]

[Kireina] acquired the following Skills]

[Inner Realm: Labyrinth World: Level 1]

[Divine Dungeon Body Entity: Level 1]

[Divine Dungeon Body Transformation: Level 1]

[Kireina] has acquired the [Living Divine Dungeon] Title!]

[Living Divine Dungeon]

A Title bestowed to the unique existence who had become a living Dungeon, it enhances the user\'s Dungeon Power Stat by a certain percentage (invisible stat boost), while also enhancing all other Dungeon Functions. The user with this title can also earn more Dungeon Points per day.

When the System Notifications finally ended, I had just become a Dungeon… Or something like that.

I had not only acquired a new stat, but also a great increase in my stats, and even three new Skills related to it!

So that was that strange world I was sent to, it was this new Inner Realm… A Realm simply made out of Labyrinths.

There was also the Divine Dungeon Body Entity and the Divine Dungeon Body Transformation Skills… Before my surprise, I decided to check these three Skills descriptions for a better comprehension of my new capabilities.

[Inner Realm: Labyrinth World: Level 1/10]

A Skill acquired by a unique entity that had managed to create an Inner Realm with qualities akin to Divine Realm. This Inner Realm is swarming with monsters being produced one after another in an almost endless cycle, while also being made entirely out of ever-expanding dungeons and labyrinths. A world of mayhem and chaos.

The user of this Skill is capable of manipulating everything within its own Realm, even the spawn of monsters or even its structure and appearance, as long as enough energy is spent. The increase in the level of this Skill will bring the Inner Realm to become greater while giving the user even more power over it.

[Divine Dungeon Body Entity: Level 1/10]

A Skill acquired by a unique entity never seen before who had become both a living being and a Divine Dungeon. This Skill represents the user\'s capabilities as a dungeon, any dungeon owned by the user will become part of it, and although the stats of each dungeon will remain separate, the power can be shared. Level up this Skill to enhance such capabilities even further.

[Divine Dungeon Body Transformation: Level 1/10]

A Skill acquired by a unique entity never seen before who had become both a living being and a Divine Dungeon. This Skill lets the user of such power transform parts of its body to that of the dungeons it possesses, and it is connected with. There is a limited amount of transformation that can be done, but this can be increased by leveling up the Skill.

That third Skill… It was way too intriguing to not try it out.

The wolves and Nammu glanced at me with surprise, as I glanced at my arm and then used the \'Divine Dungeon Body Transformation\' Skill into it.

Flash!

Suddenly, my hand convulsed and twisted around, convulsing crazily as it shapeshifted into a giant piece of dungeon… Indeed, it was as if my hand had become that of something like a golem made out of tiny dungeon bricks. The enormous hand was over five meters in height, and it was thick enough to punch a giant through the air.

I glanced at the enormous hand with awe, it was a part of the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon, and it even held some of its essence and powers within. The hand took upon black, crimson, pink, and purple colors, and as I willed it, several dungeon traps appeared before my mind, if I wanted, I could spend some Dungeon Points and generate one right in the palm of my hand.

I was also able to shape it even further, making it pointy and sharp like an enormous spear, or hard and large like a shield… And I was fairly sure that I could expand it several meters… perhaps a whole kilometer, it was as long as my dungeons could be.

There was also the ability to \'summon\' the desired monsters from the dungeon, even Dungeon Bosses, this act was even easier than conventional summoning, and if I wanted, I could use my already learned Summoning Skills or Egg Laying Skills and combine them with this ability to conjure new chimeric creations into existence. Perhaps the rituals for the creation of new bodies could be done even easier now? Though the egg being laid through my flesh might still be better than this due to its quality and the greater control I have over it.

I then glanced at my Status as I found that there was a \'Dungeon Points\' area within it, alongside the aforementioned Dungeon Power Stat, which was set at 3.000… I really thought I would have way more though, but fine, I can increase as I progress. I also noticed that my Race name had changed, well, it was as if I had two races now, the Fairy and then Dungeon…

There were also several new functions, such as the ability to use Dungeon Points, often generated automatically every day in the Dungeon to buy or exchange for more things than simple items for the dungeon alone… There was even the function of buying Gacha Tickets, something that was not there before, and also the function of buying Potions, Equipment, Loot Boxes… and many and many other things.

The list kept going as if I was glancing at the whole glossary of items in the entirety of Genesis…

System Gods, what have you done now?!

The list kept going and going! I was glancing at so many items I have never seen before, some were just absurdly amazing but cost millions of Dungeon Points! There were Stat Boosting Elixirs, EXP Potions, Skill Points Elixirs… even Divinity Fragment Elixirs?! But those were at the millions too!

There were artifacts, countless accessories of beautiful appearances, weapons in the shape of destructive arms, shiny pieces of equipment of all sizes and for all types of people, and their Ranks went all up to… what the hell is Galaxy-Rank?

Just to add a little thing, all Galaxy-Rank items costed more than a quadrillion points…

There were also Divine Materials and… a lot of other things! This was perhaps way better than any Interdimensional Merchant Shop that these Gods use to get items through Divine Energy Crystals!

…Though I will most likely use it anyways even with this mega shop.

There were scrolls for different types of Skills… and even Divine Techniques for the billions! Ah, so many things I cannot even touch, why even give me this if I cannot buy anything?

Is it just to tempt me?!

It will probably be a year before I can even gather one million Dungeon Points!

…Unless I begin annexing more Dungeons into myself, right? I always end up absorbing the Dungeon Points into my main dungeon, so this should work.

There were also Dungeon Tasks, but all the Dungeon Tasks that were \'normal\' had been long completed, and all the new missions were simply about devouring more dungeons, a few had been completed, but new ones were awaiting me to complete them. Their rewards were always a nice amount of Dungeon Points, so there might be some source there as well.

For now, I rest over Wagyu\'s fluffy fur as I begin to digest everything slowly, I have to slow down my mind before I explode out of the stream of information within my mind…

I blame the System Gods for this.

I mean, thanks… but also, why?

Sigh…
