Epic of Caterpillar

Now the task at hand was naming this damn summon! What wacky name could we give to our beloved ball of plasma, a sentient ball of plasma at that?

"Well, how about just Nova?" asked Andromeda.

"Nova… Sounds fine enough! Nova it is." I said.

"Nova, Nova! Come here!" said Rimuru.

Nova stopped bullying Azure as it flew towards Rimuru, she hugged him as her slime body began to bubble and evaporate a little bit… even hugging this thing was a bit dangerous, it could quite literally be launched at things, and it would get through them by just melting them.

Now, time to enhance the path jewel once more, I wanted to try out its explosiveness, but I first wanted to upgrade it even further beyond. In just a few seconds, I spent another 20 billion Divine Points, enough to leave me at only 10 billion one more. I would have to wait some more after this if I wanted to get another thing using them.

[You exchanged 20.000.000.000 Divine Points (Rank 5)!]

[Your Path Jewel has been enhanced!]

I quickly checked it as I saw the Path Jewel grow bigger and brighter, it was rather beautiful to see.

…

[Grand Overpowering Sun] [Path Jewel Grade: Rank 5 (Supreme God-Rank) (3/3)]

A Path Jewel encompassing the powerful technique of Overpowering Sun, which has the ability to gather powerful Fire Law Essence and materialize it into a mass of plasma of incredible size, which can be launched over a target for large, explosive, and incredibly wide damage. This Path Jewel contains the ability to absorb Elements and converge existing Abilities and other Path Jewel Effects, alongside Daos, Dao Fragments, and the power of Elemental Laws.

Abilities:

[Overpowering Sun]: Gather the Elemental Power of Fire Attribute as your primary source of power, summoning the powerful Dao Fragments of Stars, Aether, Plasma, and Brightness, materializing such elements into a massive sphere of powerful blazing fire containing the Fire Law as its primary source of elemental power.

This powerful projectile can deal great amounts of both physical and magical damage to a target calculating both Ki and Aether Stats by +50000% -> +200000% for damage. This attack is capable of ignoring 50% -> 65% of all defenses in a target and pierce through them for maximum damage.

[Plasma Nova Familiar Summoning]: The Plasma Nova Familiar can be summoned to aid you in battle, which has the same level of existence level as the user (Supreme God) and is capable of conjuring Overpowering Suns automatically for the user, alongside being able to use various other Abilities based in the Fire Law. While being in battle, the power of Overpowering Sun is enhanced by +20000% -> +60000% and its attack speed is enhanced by a further +30000% -> 90000%.

[Super Nova Explosion]: Your Overpowering Suns can now explode after hitting a certain area or target dealing extra damage with each explosion, which accumulates into chained explosions for extra Damage. Whenever an attack explodes, it deals up to +100000% -> +300000% damage, which increases by +10% -> 30% with each explosion up to a max of +1000000 % -> +3000000%.

[Domain of Overwhelming Blaze]: Unleash the true power of the Overpowering Sun and the Law of Fire and its Dao Fragments encompassing your body and your surroundings in a wide and large Domain of incredible searing blazing flames. The deadly fire grows stronger by the second and it is capable of piercing the foe's that step in, causing all sorts of Burn-related negative status effect. Additionally, it enhances the Fire-type damage the foes inflicted with Burn receives by +50000% -> +150000%, and the power of the user's Fire-type damage is enhanced by a further +50000%, additionally, the foe's Fire Law Damage Reduction is ignored by -10% -> -30%.

[Elemental Sun] (New!): Grants the ability to infuse Laws that the user has mastered to 100% or above into the power of any Overpowering Sun for a small amount of divine energy, giving new elemental damage to the powerful attacks. Elements can only be given if they're compatible with Fire, the primary Law, however, a max of only 2 elements can be infused into an Overpowering Sun, each new element grants +100000% enhancement to damage and can penetrate -10% of the foe's elemental defenses (such as Law Comprehension Defense).

[Overpowering Gravitational Domain] (New!): Creates a powerful gravitational domain around the user that creates a powerful and strong pull around itself, this power is enhanced each time Overpowering Sun is cast by +100%, and the power of this domain grows as the user does. It can be expanded through more energy, and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as controlling the trajectory of objects, and more. While this Domain is active, Overpowering Sun deals +100000% more damage.

[Nova Dao Lord] (New!): You've persecuted the power of Nova to the point that your power over it transcends common sense. Your knowledge and understanding of this concept of Nova has opened the path towards learning the Lesser Dao of Nova

…

The new abilities showed up quickly before me, showing me the greatness of their power. The more I saw them the more I felt like my power was bursting out of my body like an overwhelming explosion of flames and gravitational forces, these new abilities looked like they were completely insane, but I would have to get through them first and check them in detail before I can make any assumptions.

Nonetheless, the thing before me as of now was what surprised me the most, as the path jewel generated once more a new Lesser Dao before my eyes, without even letting me take a rest from having gotten the Lesser Dao of Gates, I was now getting the Lesser Dao of Nova, which seemed an in between Star and Aether Daos, which belonged to Aura, the Supreme God of Star Oceans.

FLASH!

An amazingly big sphere of light shone atop the path jewel, startling me and everyone present with its ever-growing brilliance, the beauty of this power wasn't just for show, it was a true and authentic Dao!
