Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 803 - Enhancing Path Jewels

Now, this is what I call a complete upgrade and powerup boys!

This is nuts.

These new Abilities coming from the Path Jewel are amazing, now I feel like I have truly just transcended or whatever it\'s called.

My entire body was suddenly surrounded by a strange shell, and it is as if my truest form has been compacted.

Well, it did not felt uncomfortable or bad at all.

In fact, it felt the same way I always feel.

I think at some point in the past I had been a bit discomforted over shapeshifting as it felt weird or something.

But now… I can do it so freely and swiftly, it is just part of my very being.

And these abilities are pretty amazing.

I can even unfold some kind of mind-breaking aura.

Damn, I want to try this out in Zeus and the Dragon Gods who are preparing to kill me…

Oh yeah, they are doing their best I guess.

He\'s bringing the whole family now.

And there will be a dragon fillet buffet as well, with some hero meat in there too.

And the Azuma Empire as well, most probably.

I know about all of it because of my Apollo Clone and his children which are also my Clones.

Yea did you thought I would have just guessed everything?

But indeed, Zeus recruited his children which also count Apollo, and a lot of his grandchildren are coming too.

However this time my people are all within my Divine Realm, I don\'t fear these idiots anymore.

Or well, I do, and I shall prepare a bit…

But yeah, I am confident that I can wreck them over and eat them if I prepare.

I am not being cheeky or something, my confidence comes from all the things I can do to power up before all these bastards arrive.

Why?

Because I will transmit it to all the world through the Interdimensional Merchant Shop, like a Livestream of me and my family slaughtering an entire family of Gods!

Maybe that will make everyone a bit more wary of me?

After all, Zeus and his bunch are known for being \'Titan Slayers\' who had defeated even Great Gods.

Seeing such a figure of high authority within the Gods Society being slaughtered so mercilessly will surely make everyone quite worried about me…

Oh yes, and I cannot wait for all of them to either cower in fear or come for my head afterward!

The more they come, the stronger I will get!

Perhaps I will not even have to move from here and I will get daily gods delivered to my door for breakfast?

I do not think all of them are as foolish, probably.

I have so many things prepared for these bastards that even if they prepare themselves a hundred times they will get surprised and yell "Impossible!".

Oh my, Gods are so cliché sometimes.

Why am so confident?

Well, I can kind of manipulate the threads of fate now, don\'t you remember?

I can see it.

A lot of possible scenarios, the future that might come.

Using my Fate Stat, I can manipulate those threads.

I cannot simply make it so I always win 100%, that\'s impossible, as the Gods I fight also have the Fate Stat.

But I can make it so some of these future possibilities are altered, and as long as I do certain actions in the present, the future, and the threads of fate keep changing, I can kind of calibrate it around until I find a fairly good future.

Of course, not everything is so easy.

But I just need to keep looking at these possibilities!

Fusing Schrodinger Law with Threads of Fate manipulation makes an amazing combo!

Oh my, there are some Demon Gods around the Lower Realm that do not take my presence here too lightly...

Hm, oh, they want to attack me?

Nice!

Maybe we will get a good meal out of this.

I might as well wipe all these bastards out of this place, so it becomes my domain.

Of course, I am a very good person.

I am in fact, incredibly benevolent.

I can more or less chain a god soul to me as I did with Kaggoth and her sister.

With that, if they even dare to betray me…

CHOMP!

Their entire soul gets eaten, just like that.

Yeah, I am guessing that they will be very loyal if they do not want their souls to be completely eaten!

I did this same Soul Chain to the new Titans, Dark Steppe Gods, and more for precautions.

The Titans got angered at me for not trusting them.

But I mean, bud, we haven\'t even met for more than three days?

Do you expect me to trust you as much as my wives?

As much as Agatheina?

Yeah, no.

They got over it when Gaia reprimanded them for being so stupid to think that they deserved trust for simply being titans or whatever.

Yeah, this is why I do not trust them, they are way too selfish.

Their golden age as Titans already ended, yet they are still acting a bit c.o.c.ky.

Well, I am slowly making them more obedient, so it is going fine.

Oh yeah I did this Soul Connection thingy with these guys and just like Gaia and the rest I got Skills related to them, I do not know what to do with these skills, but if they are closely connected with the Gods, I might as well make them into Path Jewels, perhaps they will get buffed or something.

Anyways…

Now that I got this intense powerup, why not continue?

There are three more Path Jewels to fill up!

Alright, next!

[Path Orifice 3: [Divine Chaotic Abyssal Demon Monarch Fragmented Body] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)]: The Path for those who have completely merged with the power of the ancient Chaotic Abyssal Demon, the child of Chaos itself that brings destruction and constant change to the entire universe.

You can recreate eyes of all shapes and sizes all around your body, or summon a bunch to control from a distance.

Active Effect: Unleash your most demonic of powers within your eyes, the ones you have created through the amalgamation of many monsters you have consumed, combine all the effects of such eyes, and unleash powerful laser rays charged with deadly curses, increasing your damage dealt by 200%.

Passive Effect: You have the power to generate Orbs all around your body, that can enhance your Magic capabilities and the production of Divine Energy, concentrate power, and harness several Skills, Spells, and Runes within for later use in unleashing their power.

You can separate these Orbs from your body to use as valuable high-quality materials that can produce Divine Energy by themselves.

Active Effect: Unleash all the chaotic orbs out of your body and detonate all of their stockpiled energy, generating loud explosions that deal large quantities of damage depending on how much power and magic you stored inside of them, the effect of these bombs can vary greatly as you customize them.

…

Oh my…

With this, my power will increase even further.

These fragments had been honestly a big part of my power for a while, I use them for literally everything, even with these mech bodysuits, when I fuse them with these fragments they always become even better.

And I am always shapeshifting with these fragments to fight against strong threats, actually getting bigger does work in this world, especially if you have such a large variety of monstrous body parts to use separately or combined!

Everything will cost… around 220 levels x 10.000 Divine Skill Points.

Eh?

So it cost the same as the others anyway, I guess.
