Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 961 - The Splendorous Realm Core

The beautiful floating crystal in front of me was finally cleansed from the annoying presence of the System Master, finally freed from this damn annoying bastard, it suddenly began to gain a black color.

Oops.

This is my miasma… the miasma that I had learned to naturally produce from my Primordial Chaos Soul after I freed it from his blessing. This Miasma can do a bunch of stuff and is even stronger than the one you can produce through Chaos Magic, it possesses supernatural properties that can even do things such as… infecting the Realm Core.

Ding!

[The [Realm Core] has been infected by Miasma!]

[The [Realm Core] has evolved into the [Chaos Realm Core]!]

[The [Chaos Realm Core] has been bind to the user!]

Oh well, because I am the source of the miasma and the chaos, it seems to happily obey me and it binds itself to me again without problems, that\'s nice.

Meanwhile, within my soul and my own System, Andromeda was devouring the last bits of her grandfather in the most glorious fight aftermath.

"Are you enjoying your meal?" I asked.

[Oh! Yes… It is filling me with so much power! I never thought that sharing master\'s Devour would give me the ability to devour other programs and malware within the system] said Andromeda.

"I see, well, you never know until you try," I said.

I saw as Andromeda\'s avatar began to glow with more power, until her appearance changed slightly, as she gained longer hair, a more majestic appearance, and clothes, with many shiny jewels and golden accessories, and her face seemed to have become more refined.

There was also a greater aura of divinity within her… She really just evolved, or is it my idea?

[Master, I think I have evolved after eating my grandfather!]

"Well, it was only a clone, but yes, I can see that… How do you feel?"

[I think it is some kind of evolution that relates to the System… before that, I was merely a Divine System Program, perhaps the admin, but now my entire existence had become even greater and more divine… Perhaps I could be the equivalent to a God-Realm entity? I don\'t really know… But I do feel overflowing with power. It is simply quite hard to know because my existence is bind to the System and I am not really something similar to the being such as you]

"I see. Well, the good thing is that you\'ve grown stronger! I suppose the System Master\'s attack brought more help than anything," I said.

[Indeed… Though, I will make sure that this doesn\'t happen ever again! I will use this newfound power to make the anti-malware shields even stronger… and more!]

"I am counting on you dear. Please, make sure to be more cautious from now on," I said.

[I-I will! I will make sure to not disappoint you again…]

"Aw, you would never disappoint me, don\'t worry… Well, I am still angry but… Still, you\'re my wife and my family, so I can\'t really get all too angry or it would make me feel bad," I sighed.

Andromeda quickly materialized herself in all of her cybernetic beauty, as she jumped over me and hugged me.

[I love you, master… I will make sure to work harder and be more cautious, I promise!]

"Ah, that\'s all I needed to hear… you\'re such a good girl… Come here," I said, as I raised her chin and gave her a lovely kiss.

[Mwuh… Ah… M-Master kisses are so comforting… So warm… I want more…]

"Of course, as many as you want," I said.

We lovingly hugged and kissed for a little while until Andromeda felt better with herself, and then we finally moved into the Realm Core deal.

After this incident Andromeda grew rather paranoiac, so she checked the Realm Core and everything that connected to it around a million times at an incredibly fast speed which took her like ten minutes.

[Yes… It… seems to be fine I guess] she said.

"Alright then, it is already bound to me, so we can already proceed with the next thing to do which is… I don\'t know, take over the Lower Realm?" I asked.

[Indeed! Now, let\'s begin. The Realm Core is bind with you, but that\'s not enough, you must require inserting your will into it, which I\'ve already done, and connect it to the system with my help. After that, we\'ll slowly expand your will through the entire Lower Realm, and after that, we can begin doing dungeon-like stuff or even adjust the Realm Core to give another type of powers]

"I see… Let\'s get to it then!"

[Sure thing!]

We quickly dived our minds and consciousness into the large Chaotic Realm Core, fusing our souls with it as well.

Flash!

Immediately after, I felt an immense wave of power surging through me!

It was so much power I even felt rather dizzy! What was this?!

I merely made it off some of my flesh, soul, and divine points and divine energy, yet it is giving me so much power?

Well, every time I make Path Jewels using Divine Points, I also get a lot of power, so perhaps using 15 million of it could have been a sizable amount of power that all went into this…

FLASH!

Andromeda quickly emerged at my side, giving me her hand, and guiding me through all of it.

"Here, master, let\'s go!"

"Alright!"

I quickly held her hand as she guided me through this strange landscape, the flowing energies that we found were incredibly powerful, almost blasting us off several times… but we persevered.

We continued to go through this entire ordeal bit by bit… slowly approaching the "Realm Core Nucleus" where we can finally fuse our consciousness into the complete fusion and not just a bind.

After the fusion is done, there shouldn\'t be anyone there capable of taking over my Realm Core!

"T-There it is!"

Andromeda pointed out at the nucleus, which was within the sea of darkness and light, it resembled a small egg. It was an egg-shaped mass of darkness and light of incredible density, a lot of divine energy was being held within it, alongside my precious Divine Points.

"W-Woah, that\'s a lot of energy…" I said.

"Indeed! This is the nucleus! It looks like an egg…" said Andromeda.

"Why though?" I wondered.

"Hm… I think something might be born from this… Oh! Perhaps…" said Andromeda.

"Hm?" I asked.

"There is something I have not told you because I wanted it to be a surprise, Master…" she said.

"Eh? What surprise?" I asked.

"Well… Let\'s be direct, I have been slowly forming a child!" she said.

"A child?!" I asked… I didn\'t know a System Program could get pregnant…

"Y-Yes… I have absorbed your nutritious seed through our various intercrosses all this time, and I refined it through my abilities into powerful essence containing your data, which I fused with my own data! Like DNA," said Andromeda.

"I-Is that so? W-Well, I am glad for it… Actually, very happy…" I said.

"I-I am happy too! And… how about we put our child inside of this egg?" she asked.

"What?! Would that not damage it or something?" I asked.

"It won\'t, actually, it might make it be born even stronger, as it fuses with the Realm Core, it will become the main soul within it, and the Realm Core will become its body as well… This child will still be bound to me through your System, so it will be able to gain even more power from the Realm Core while still being the System Program it was going to be born as," said Andromeda.

"Amazing… So it will become something like Half-Realm Core and System Program?" I asked.

"Yes… This is an amazing opportunity to make it as strong as we can! S-So?" she asked.

I was rather worried… but trusting Andromeda after the mistake she committed was something I kind of didn\'t want to do for now…

But then again… if this could bring power to our child…

"Alright… I trust you, I want to trust you," I said.

"Master… I love you so much…" said Andromeda, as she kissed me.

We hugged a bit as we held together with something she suddenly brought into the palm of her robotic hands, it resembled a small robotic egg, it was glowing with neon colors, and it exuded an aura of powerful divine essence.

"This is it?" I asked.

"Yes… This is… o-our baby. It is still developing, so it is a nice opportunity to put it there so it can be infused with this power and be born stronger," said Andromeda.

"Very well… Just let me…" I said, as I gently ??r?ssed the egg and kissed it, infusing a large amount of power into it through that.

Flash!

Suddenly, the egg began to grow bigger, almost doubling its original size!

"Ooh! It grew bigger due to your power. Amazing, Master," said Andromeda.

"It was a little gift, it also comes with my Blessing," I said.

"I see… How beautiful…. Now, let\'s do it," she said, as we slowly moved our child into the large egg.

Our child slowly moved into the egg and easily passed through it.

After that, we infused our consciousness into the egg as well, to infuse it with our power and will, this way, it will activate at long last, fuse itself with my soul, and then we can expand my will, or well, our wills, through the entire Lower Realm.

As every ingredient fused together quite nicely, the Realm Core Egg began to glow with a bright black and white light, flashing with the brightest and most beautiful brilliance!

FLASH!

We quickly went back to our physical bodies outside, as Andromeda went back to her materialized body, and we watched the black and white Chaos Realm Core flash with all the divine brilliance it could, the brilliance and darkness expanded through the entire Lower Realm like ocean waves that constantly covered everything with divine power.

The moment this happened, I immediately began to feel my will expanding through this entire space, like an ocean of power that fused to my consciousness and continued to infuse itself with every bit of land there was within my jurisdiction and even the one that wasn\'t was also ?ssimilated, until around 60% of the entire Realm of Vida became my property, something like an extension of my Divine Realm to an extent!

Why? Because it felt like that! It felt as if I was in my divine realm by being in this place, I was able to see everything, like an all-seeing god.

The waves continued until the very last point of land, and then, an invisible aura emerged, covering everything, and separating it from the outside space that wasn\'t within my jurisdiction, while remaining there, making it all rather illusory.

The moment everything was done, I felt a rush of power flowing towards me, like a constant power that never stopped! The cycle of energies that dungeons often have had already begun within this entire and immense piece of land, which was most likely bigger than the entire Continent of Europa.

All the living beings within this place also felt something strange, but quickly continued their lives as if nothing, while monsters and even divine beasts began to emerge, being born from this place… It was as if it was really like a dungeon-divine realm…

The Realm Core floated in the middle, illuminating everything with its darkness and light…

[It is done…] said Andromeda.

"Will it hatch?" I asked.

[It doesn\'t seem to be the case… It might take a bit more time… But let\'s be patient, Master] she said.

"Of course, for now… let\'s go back to my Divine Realm," I said, as Andromeda quickly flew at my side, and we disappeared.
