Epic of Caterpillar

It was only but the size of my index finger, yet it contained an immense quantity of a power beyond any of the Realms I knew from. It was so strong it could quite possibly kill me if I grabbed it with my bare hands for a long time. It exuded a corrosive aura that seemed to be able to even corrupt the fabric of space and time with the Primordial Power of Null's Elements, Death, Darkness, and Void.

Honestly speaking there was no way I could eat this. I would just completely die like it happened back in Genesis. Nor can I feed it to Bubu either, he'll die as well even as a future vessel of Null. The only chance I had with this thing was… To utilize it to craft something, very carefully so, something very powerful.

And what better than to create brand new life out of it through this? Perhaps an Ego, for example!

[Null's Bone Fragment (??? Rank)]

A small fragment of the bone-made body of Null, a Cosmic Deity beyond your current Universe. Its powers are near incomprehensible at your current state, but you can easily detect a powerful, all-consuming corrosive power of the Elemental Laws of Death, Darkness, and Void combined together in such a manner that together make up a completely new element, the Null Element.

Although insignificant for the being that this came from, for a being so lowly such as yourself, it is and incredible item that might even bring the utter destruction of your surroundings if not handled well. It contains great quantities of Draconic Essence as well.

No more information can be deciphered at the moment.

Hehehe, even the Soul Book's description is worried and warning me about this thing. I wonder if it's the Root saying this or something? Well, whatever's the case. I'll be using this baby to make a new Ego Weapon, one that could help me damage the powerful beings living in the Necrotic Plane, which even with my current powers, in their own element, won't be able to do much.

But that'll be for later-

Ding!

[The Cosmic Entity [Null, Primordial Dragon of Death and Void] recommends you handle this with care. He won't hold responsible of any destruction you might bring with this piece of his bones.]

"I know, don't worry. I am planning on saving this for later anyways. I'll need it for the shortcut you've planned for me, Null."

Ding!

[The Cosmic Entity [Null, Primordial Dragon of Death and Void] squints his eyes with concern, giving you a meaningful look.]

[However, he ultimately sighs inwardly, saying that it's up to you.]

"Don't worry pile of bones, I'll be fine."

Ding!

[The Cosmic Entity [Null, Primordial Dragon of Death and Void] says that you should evolve Bubu already and stop wasting his time.]

[He says you shouldn't be angering a being such as him.]

[He says he prefers Frank over you. He is way more polite.]

"Blah, blah, blah. Anyways, yeah, Bubu, time to evolve!"

"Buuu!"

[Primordial Void-Eating Chaos Caterpillar Baby Dragon (Divine Species)]

[Rank]: [B]

A Void-Eating Chaos Caterpillar Baby Dragon, a young half insect and half dragon entity that traverses the cosmos while seeking Void to devour. It is catalogued as a Baby dragon, the first stage after Larvae. It can develop greatly and has the best evolution options, but aside from being able to eat the essence of the Void and assimilate it as power, it lacks much fighting capabilities as it is still growing.

Bubu was pointing at this evolution, his patience was running low and he seemed slightly angered at me for asking for much out of his patron.

"Fine, fine, don't get so mad at me Bubu, dear."

Without further ado, I selected the first evolution option.

Ding!

[You've selected the [Primordial Void-Eating Chaos Caterpillar Baby Dragon (Divine Species)] [Rank]: [B] Evolution Option for [Maxima Summon: Bubu]!]

[Maxima Summon: Bubu] has started his evolution!]

"Buuuu!"

FLAAASH!

Bubu suddenly began to grow a large shell, a black, purple, and red egg grew all over his body, encapsulating him inside once more. This time his egg was as big as two meters instead of the tiny one I could hold on my hand.

Yet…

Yet…!

"Wait a second, are you going to make me wait again Bubu?!"

Ding!

[Bubu is slowly evolving! By taking the power of his Patron's Divine Protection, his evolution speed has been decreased, but the evolution bonuses will be greater!]

[Time left: 11 Hours: 59 Minutes: 56 Seconds]

"Holy shit, this again…"

I sighed without feeling any strength left. Did Bubu really had to do me like this?! Well, this was probably within Null's plans as well.

Ding!

[The Cosmic Entity [Null, Primordial Dragon of Death and Void] says that based in all the things you've gone through, Patience should had been a virtue you should have mastered long ago.]

[He says that although it might take some hours, Bubu will hatch into a very strong creature.]

[The Cosmic Entity [Null, Primordial Dragon of Death and Void] insist that Bubu will be his vessel, and therefore, fine-tuning this connection takes a while.]

"Fine… But did it had to be now when an Undead army is on its way here?" I sighed.

Ding!

[The Cosmic Entity [Null, Primordial Dragon of Death and Void] says that you should be more careful with your words. He is running out of patience.]

"Whatever."

Now, I should evolve Colora.

"Master, is it my turn? Nom, nom…"

Colora appeared behind me in her adorable fairy form, she was stuffing her cheeks eating a big skewer of meat and vegetables covered on soy sauce, which Frank bought using his System Shop, conveniently so.

"Oh, there you are! Yeah, time to evolve you, we'll quickly reforge you for now though. Are you ready? I think I have all the materials ready. Today, we'll be using these colorful jewels I got from the Dungeon's Treasure Chest. I feel like they were made for you."

As I was about to happily evolve Colora, suddenly…

Ding!

[Several other Presences across the Cosmos seem to have noticed you due to Null's constant attention!]

Eh!?

Ding!

[You learned the [Cosmic Entity's Chatterer: Lv1] Title Skill!]

[The effects of this Title have enhanced your ability to attract and communicate with even more Entities across the Cosmos!]

[The Universal Ruler [Primordial Summoner of the Maxima Throne] is watching your actions with great anger! He seems baffled by your insolence!]

Ah, shit…
