Epic of Caterpillar-Chapter 1071: Upgrading Realm Core

.

.

.

I went back to my divine realm and sent a clone outside my divine realm.

I enhanced it with a lot of speed and used Voidspace Hopping to reach the depths of the ocean.

There, I found a gigantic and fat whale-kin man sleeping soundly.

He woke up when I emerged, looking at me with his black eyes.

"Hello, I came to pick up a little thing I forgot."

"WRAAAAAGGH!"

He roared angrily at me, I waved my hand as darkness encompassed his entire body, he disappeared in an instant.

Realm Menace of Sloth Slain!

And with that… the last Sin left was acquired.

My Sloth Sin quickly evolved into the Sin of Acedia! And I killed this fat guy over here, oops, he was too annoying and honestly, I didn't wanted him inside of my sea.

Now that I am done here… I moved into my Divine Realm and watched a large flower blossom atop the vast and blue oceans, a large whale-kin merman was born from it.

"GRAH?"

"Hey, I revived you, feel free to sleep as much as you want here big boy."

"Grahhh…"

He slowly jumped into the water rather lazily and dived into the depths.

Why did I do this? Well, I honestly sympathize with the guy. If I was just trying to chill out and sleep for an eternity, it would be a pain in the ass if someone came here to annoy me with it, so I decided to give him a nice life of slacking in the depths of the ocean.

Let's consider it a thanks for keeping the Sin for me this whole time, then, hehe.

Would had been a pain if it was lost or if it gained sentience and it tried to be an asshole like Envy. Thankfully, I am an amazing person so I gave him a nice sleep place.

I moved away from her as my consciousness dived into countless bodies.

I had begun to do a few little things.

There was a lot to assess, honestly. We had done a ton, and I wanted to still do a ton more.

First of all, I checked my System Points, and they were enough.

Andromeda has been chatting with me for a while, we were now just getting ready for the last and newest adjustments in the Realm Core.

It is finally time to raise my own Realm!

Using another body that was already there, I touched the glistening dark Realm Core.

[Master, everything is ready now!]

"Amazing! Let's get to it then, dearie."

I put my hands over the Realm Core as I summoned its powers, and infused all the system points with the aid of Andromeda!

Ding!

[You've exchanged 100.000.000 Divine Points (Rank 4: Great God Rank)!]

FLASH!

A stream of wondrous light and darkness began to be poured into the giant crystal, as my consciousness and that of my beloved Andromeda dived into the crystal's power, where we found our little baby egg too.

The egg and the core of the realm core began to absorb everything as a beautiful scenario of countless streams of light emerged before us, so beautiful and glistening that I could barely contain my emotions.

"We have reached so far…" I muttered.

"Indeed, we had… Kireina-sama… And I hope we can get even further." Said Andromeda.

"Of course, I will need your assistance for this stuff, dear."

"Of course!"

She held my hand tightly as we kissed lovingly while admiring the upgrade of the crystal, and the infusion of power over our child.

"It still not hatching?" wondered Andromeda.

"Indeed… Why?" I wondered.

"Hmmm… Ah! No, it is nothing bad. It seems that the egg has adapted itself to the power and now it wants even more?! So gluttonous!" she said.

"Eh?! I guess we'll need to assimilate more Realms if we want to see the egg hatch." I said.

"Indeed! Though… Now that I think about it, Kireina-sama, have you not realized?" she wondered.

"What is it?"

"Well, the Realm Core… If it can keep growing stronger by assimilating a Realm and then more, adding up and combining them together… Then, wouldn't this mean that the Realm Core is in fact, a small and developing World Core?" she asked.

"…EH?! I never considered it in this way, I think! It fits so well though! Maybe this Realm Core is the key to reconstructing the entire world of Genesis? Did the System Master intended this?" I asked.

"I don't think so… Perhaps this wasn't within his complete plans, or maybe he designed this as a prototype that he discarded. I found the files and then we made it real! Of course, after fighting him…" she said.

"Indeed… Well, who cares about him? I don't think you love your grandpa after he tried to kill you, right?" I asked her.

"O-Of course not! I want to see him suffer! Honestly, I've never met him before than in that occasion, so he already has a terrible reputation with me." Said Andromeda.

"Haha, you're right, he's an asshole. It is nice to hate him together." I said.

As the Realm Core upgraded itself, I watched at its old Status:

…

<Realm Core System>

[Realm Core Type: [Primordial Chaos and Heavenly Law Realm Core]

[Realm Core Owner: [Kireina Dark Moon]

[Realm Core Rank: [Great God 8/9 Realm]

[Realm Core Essence Points: [0/120.000.000.000] (Required to Rank Up)

[Realm Core Territory: [Realm of Vida: Lower Realm Area: 100%], [Realm of Vida: Surface Area : 9%]

[Realm Core Abilities Quality: [A-Rank]

[Realm Core Abilities Efficiency: [A-Rank]

[Realm Core Abilities Share Value: [A-Rank]

[Realm Core Abilities: [Divine Treasure Prize Drop (Unlocked)], [Path Jewel Forgery (Unlocked)], [Primordial Law Comprehension Temple (Unlocked)], [Heavenly Alchemy Atelier (Locked)], [Primordial Attribute Particle Garden (Locked)], [Primordial Dao Fragment Temple (Locked)], […]

…

Hm, I see, I see. These Realm Core Points are generated naturally or through Divine Points, one point made a thousand I believe, so with the 100 million we gave to it, it was enough to reach the next rank and even the next realm.

This Realm Core will become a Supreme Rank Realm Core! And it has so many exciting Abilities I want too! These three we unlocked are the bests already and had helped us a lot:

…

[Divine Treasure Prize Drop (Unlocked)]

Converts 30% of the Leftover Essence, Law Comprehension, Dao Comprehension, and Abilities into dropped items of each respective category.

Leftover Essence becomes Divine Energy Crystals and Attribute Value Crystals.

Law Comprehension becomes Law Crystals.

Dao Comprehension becomes Dao Crystals.

And Abilities become Lesser Path Jewels or Path Jewels.

…

With this ability we are able to acquire even more gains from anything we slain. The part of the power we cannot get form eating a being is materialized into these wondrous Crystals, which then we can devour to get almost 100% of a being's power. This was the way I was able to acquire Ova and Agatha's full power, and how I became a Supreme Goddess right after that.

…

[Path Jewel Forgery (Unlocked)]

Grants the ability to enter the Path Jewel Forgery within the Divine Realm of the Realm Core Owner, which grants the ability to anyone that is allowed inside to be able to craft their own Path Jewels using existing Skills, Blessings, Classes, and Titles and ingredients, alongside a certain amount of Divine Energy Crystals. Path Jewels strength is only 50% of their original power.

By performing a ritual and spending the required amount of Divine Energy Crystals, anyone that is allowed inside can create a Path Board to deposit their Path Jewels inside their souls. Opening more Path Orifices cost more Divine Energy Crystals, with a discount of 10%.

…

This one is also an important one, it grants everyone the ability to make their own Path Jewels, everyone combined their abilities and skills together into their personalized Path Jewels and were able to get all sorts of fantastical powers they never thought possible to do. And the best part is that Path Jewel Abilities can be conjured instantly, no problem!

This was how the Beast Gods had such a sweet, sweet revenge against their siblings in the Central Continent, who were all assholes to be honest. And yes, they were revived anyways, they're trying to get into being friends with them one more, I don't know how's THAT going…

…

[Primordial Law Comprehension Temple (Unlocked)],

Grants the ability to enter the Primordial Law Comprehension Temple within the Divine Realm of the Realm Core Owner, giving the ability to share Law Comprehension around with each user that enters.

The more one stays inside connected to one another through meditation, the more Law Comprehension can be shared… This can also be done without being inside by leaving a Soul Clone.

Law Comprehension Share: 50% of original comprehension over time.

Enhances Law Comprehension speed with all types of Laws while meditating inside by 200%.

…

And this is, by far, another of the most overpowered Abilities of the Realm Core, it has the power to share our Law Comprehension over time, which made us all spike into our comprehension, and we all had an amazing one in our specialized element when shit hit the fan. And through the whole war, everyone enhanced it even more by absorbing the Law Crystals of the other Great Gods spread through the war.

Most of all my family has at least one Law at 100% Comprehension at this point.

With his ability… and the others to come… we'll surely bring this entire world upside down!

FLASH!

And in front of me, the Realm Core was finally upgraded to its latest form.

We flew outside as we left our egg resting peacefully.

We looked atop our heads, seeing the glistening and beautiful jewel glow brighter and brighter was very soothing to us.

The crystal grew up to ten times its original size, resembling a gigantic mountain at this point, made entirely out of shiny white crystal, it was surely an amazing spectacle like we had never seen before…

"Amazing, Kireina-sama…"

"Indeed, this is it! This is the Supreme Rank Realm Core!"

FLASH!

An enormous stream emerged from the jewel, bright and dark essence was poured through the entire Realm's surface, bathing it all with such strong essence it even made space and time warp around the entire place a bit.

It was as if the entire piece of land was being upgraded with it, it was incredible… the entire Realm was suddenly within my grasp, my authority!

The Realm I was born in was now my own property, and it belonged to me and my family.

Within the Astral Road, the Realm of Vida shone brighter than ever before. The gods, and other entities within it looked with awestruck expressions.

And I decided to finally check its upgraded status at long last, the new Abilities that should had been unlocked are…
