Epic of Caterpillar-Novel

As I read the new Skill description, I gasped a bit. That was quite the Skill, the description didn't have to be SO big! But well, her we are. At least it is not as big as the Path Jewels, or is it as big? I guess it is as big. Now that I think about it, I haven't made any new Path Jewels, or well, the ones I've made were quickly fused into Egos, making them much stronger at the end.

I think I should work around on something with the Path Jewels, they're strong, but not enough foranymore. I have to upgrade them in a new way, like making Cosmic Path Jewels, maybe? Would that work? But I already got my Origin System doing everything much better.

Well, for now they are all mostly relegated to Ego and Summon Evolution and Creation Materials. I might combine more of them into already existing Egos and Summons to make them stronger though, that always seems to work well.

They're still a good way to obtain new Daos and stuff, and I am silently grinding that in the background, so for now, let's concentrate on the new Skill.

Anyways, the description alone was incredible. The amount of stats it boosted surpassed most Path Jewels at this point anyways, and because it was a Primordial Concept, it even boosted my damned stats, which was amazing.

Another thing, its abilities. The Abyssal Demon Fragments translated into the body parts of this transformation, but I can also summon them without fully transforming as well, as I am experimenting right now.

FLASH!

One of my hands suddenly beca large, metallic and insectoid claw, with seven long fingers with pointy gold-colored ends. It was at least five times larger, glowing constantly. Once I concentrated sEssence into it, a radiant aura covered the claw.

"Ooh."

This Aura was the power of whatever the "Eternal Sun" was, it seemed to belong to Khepri. I am not sure if this is just made up by the Origin System or if there's an actual reason behind. Was this Skill someone that once existed? Something that once existed?

I can't dig deeper, but I can ask my two cuties for it.

"Hey, Andromeda, Astraea, dears, are you there?"

[Yes! Is there something you need?]

[I am here~]

"Can you dig in what exactly is this Khepri goddess? And why did my Fusion Skill becthis?"

[Hmmm. Letcheck.]

[Ah…]

[Analyzing…]

They analyzed for a while, as I played around with the energy of Eternal Sun in my hands. I felt it was very powerful, like a new form to wield Chakra, now combined with Cosmic Energy, Essence, and Demonic Energy all together.

Though it lacked chaos itself, which was surprising as it used to be the primary element of the Abyssal Demon Fragments! I wonder what happened to that. I do remember that each fragment was unlocked as I evolved and discovered an aspect of myself, right?

And also by fusing so many damned Skills back then… But after "recovering" them in Grand Terra, and then keeping all the Skills I got back then, they had hit max level and were stagnating in terms of growth.

I wonder if I did the right thing…

I do remember from my memories as a child, that mother had created the Abyssal Demon as ssort of guardian, and that even though he died when I was forced to escape, his powers were given to me.

And then I slowly awakened each of his parts. That ancient friend is long dead, but his powers now live even in this new and strange skill I acquired, I suppose.

And…

[Ah, Kireina, sorry, we can't find much.]

[It's not that there isn't any information, but there's a powerful wall we can't easily pierce.]

"Wait, what? How so? I thought this System was ours?"

[It is! But it draws power from other sources of power as well. And apparently your Skill data draws from such roots of the source.]

[Although we can control and shape mostly anything within the origin system, it is different when it comes to the source of its components.]

"I see… And this wall, to what is it connected? Frank's Trait?"

[No, not Frank's Trait.]

"Grand Terra from all things?!"

[Yes, haha. Don't act like that, Grand Terra's "system" is actually very complex, and something we were able to hardly comprehend.]

[It might originate from a completely different source altogether. We believe it could be The Root.]

"Oh, that place…"

The Root, a place where everything apparently originates from. I am not too sure where it is though, but I believe it might be right below… Everything, all of reality, pretty much.

I went to that place once I died inside of Genesis, and through there, I was able to be summoned to Grand Terra thanks to Elfina, givinga second chance at life.

Now that I remember, it was very strange how everything happened.

But I believe it happened thanks to my Trait, Defiance.

Back then, it was already showing its true colors and origins, as a Reality-Rank Trait, something that surpassed most things and even allowedto keep all my memories and transfer my "data" to a new body and even a new soul? Somehow.

And through Grand Terra's Soul Book system, I was able to awaken my former abilities slowly. As if the status itself delved into the information stored within the Root itself to recreate them.

Though, once I returned to Genesis, I regained my status and all the leftover soul fragments and powers I left behind, reforming anew, now with all the powers I gained in that other world accompanying me.

If the origin of this skill comes from such a place, then I better just give up, there's no way I am discovering what it is right now.

"Well, leave it be. It can't be helped at then end." I shrugged. "Have a good morning you two, love you a lot."

[Love you too honey!]

[Please take care! When are you coming back?]

"Should be coming back soon, once we're done with acquiring Abyss' Sun."

Yes, that was our next step now.
