Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 2244 Fusing Skills!

[Fusion Skills]: [Soul Feasting Abyssal Caterpillar Jaws: Lv6/20] [Universal Cosmic Eyes of Truth: Lv5/20] [Impenetrable Primordial Chaos Armored Cocoon Body: Lv4/20] [Primordial Golden Demon Scarab Swarm Queen Of Eternal Sun Transformation: Khepri: Lv2/30] [Primordial Azure Sea Orichalcum Armament Creation: Lv3/30]

Looking at my current Fusion Skills, I can clearly tell I\'ve been specializing on defense a lot. I think it\'s mostly because I\'ve been fighting utterly strong foes that just used to easily break through any of my defenses.

When I fought against Ashatath, I was able to resist most of her blows really well, it wasn\'t until the end when she went completely all-out that I struggled, but I managed to still defeat her.

The Universal Cosmic Eyes of Truth have no offensive power whatsoever, and only allow me to see through all things, information, even intentions, and even read thoughts to a small extent.

If I concentrate Cosmic Energy into them, I can even glance through spatial membranes and through billions of kilometers.

It\'s a very good utility Skill, and it also helps me see a glimpse of the future, so I can sometimes accurately predict a foe\'s blow.

The other Skills also work really well, Armored Cocoon Body offers all the defense I could ask for, moldable armor that can become deadly weapons, explosive power, and even the ability to resist a blow that would definitely destroy my body completely every few minutes.

The Khepri transformation is really good, but… Well, I am still discovering all of its capabilities, overall, it\'s an amazing upgrade to all the Skills that were used to make it.

The Orichalcum Skill brings a lot of utility, though it also offers even more defenses, it can also grant speed boost, transform, become projectiles, and more.

I think the only Fusion Skill I kind of find lackluster is the first one I made after returning from Grand Terra, the [Soul Feasting Abyssal Caterpillar Jaws: Lv6/20]! Dealing damage over time and draining it is really good though, but the rate in which it does is still considerably slow, and the Skill also levels up very slowly.

I think I could use Skill Points to max it out and it might get better, but I don\'t think it\'s worth the points, isn\'t it? Let\'s see…

Ding!

[Do you wish to spend 14.000 Skill Points to Max the Level of the [Soul Feasting Abyssal Caterpillar Jaws: Lv6/20] Fusion Skill?]

[Available Skill Points]: [44.190]

[Yes] [No]

I got a lot of Skill Points accumulated, but even then, I know that\'s a waste!

No way, nope.

Maybe if I dedicate a lot of my mental strength into leveling it up naturally, it could work.

Alright, let\'s try something.

"Doppelgangers"

I created a hundred Lesser Doppelgangers that only shared like 1% of my total power. And by using my own Essence, I told them to use this Skill on any Divine Beast or Cosmic Beast they find in my World Realm.

It doesn\'t matter if they die, their energy gets absorbed back and recycled for new Beasts to be born, so I can kill as many as I want.

I don\'t get any Level EXP at all, but by constant Skill usage, I do get Skill EXP…

"Gryyaaggh!"

"Gruoohhh…!"

"Gaaoooh!"

The screams of countless beasts in agony reverberated across the Dungeon Continent, where the largest quantity of Monsters spawned every day.

Some Adventurers that had reached far and explored these lands glanced in disbelief as countless child-like copies of myself flew around the skies, killing anything before they could reach them.

Sorry about that, but your Goddess has dibs for her own world\'s monsters if she wants to~

I watched the Skill EXP of the Fusion Skill slowly increase by +10 per second, not bad…

But I think I can make it quicker.

More and more Doppelgangers were made.

Over one thousand mini versions of myself!

They only carry 0.1% of my strength.

However, they can still conjure the skill.

Suddenly, it became +100 Skill EXP per second.

Much better!

I think this is my limit though, but not bad, let\'s leave it at that.

Now, time to fuse Skills!

"This ticket…"

There was a red colored ticket in my hands, made of red metal, showing the drawing of some sort of horned, red-skinned demon.

I had already selected the Skills I would use, they were all offensive, and were selected to be specifically strong against Recessed.

Recessed possess both Dead and Holy attributes, so it might seem as if they don\'t have weaknesses because they encompass both spectrums.

However, as I fought them, I discovered that by using the same combination of holy and death against them, you can indeed deal more damage and ignore a part of their defenses.

And I\'ll create a powerful offensive skill for that!

I also noticed that demonic skills and spells seemed to hurt them a bit more than other attributes, so the demonic skill fusion ticket was ideal.

Now, let\'s begin.

Ding!

[You have selected the following Skills: [Fireball: Lv10] [Cutting Wind: Lv10] [Ice Spike: Lv10] [Purification: Lv10] [Holy Flames: Lv10] [Abyssal Ice: Lv10] for Skill Fusion using the [Demonic Skill Fusion Ticket (SS+ Grade)] x1!]

FLASH!

All six Skills surged from my Soul, like spheres of different and beautiful colors. Yeah, these were the first ever Skills I had acquired back in Grand Terra, which I\'ve already leveled up to Level 10 a while ago.

The ticket floated towards them, exploding into a crimson fog that swallowed the Skill Spheres, as I like to call the physical manifestation of a Skill by itself.

They were Fragments of Primordial Concepts, apparently, and when they combined in such a way, in large quantities…

FLAAASH!

An actual Primordial Concept is born, which through the Origin System, becomes a powerful Fusion Skill!

I am still trying to process how this even happens, I do know the Origin System is incredibly strong, but how is it possible that the Skills themselves are Primordial Concept Fragments?

Could this be a trait inherited from Grand Terra\'s "Soul Books"? And then, further combined with Frank\'s System Trait, which is probably at least Multiversal Grade.

Lastly, my own System keep it all together, while being further enchanted with the power of my Trait, Defiance, which is Reality Grade.

I do remember receiving things, items, and so on from my Soul Book in Grand Terra.

I think I am beginning to understand that what Grand Terra possessed was much grander than I imagined.
