Epic of Caterpillar

After maxing out the new Abilities within the [Divine Chaotic Abyssal Demon Monarch Fragmented Body] [Path Jewel Grade: God (Rank 3)] Path Jewel, which had been recently awakened to God-Grade, I received a nice bonus boost to my stats once more.

Now, I had three more Path Jewels to go, so I quickly decided to max them out and be done with this.

The next path jewels I must max are:

[4: [Transcendental Goddess of Element Manipulation and Technological Creation] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)]

[5: [Void-Born Horrifying Spatial Aberration] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)]

And the [7: [Divine Goddess of Illusive Fantastical Dreams and Terrifying Nightmares] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)]

The next path jewel should be the [Transcendental Goddess of Element Manipulation and Technological Creation], located within the fourth Path Orifice within my Path Board.

It resembles a large sphere of blue color within the Path Board, like a small gaseous planet floating in the middle of a bright and colorful nebula.

"Alright Andromeda, upgrade the next one," I said.

[Very well!]

Ding!

[Do you wish to exchange 400.000 Divine Points to upgrade the [Transcendental Goddess of Element Manipulation and Technological Creation] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)] Path Jewel to the [Transcendental Goddess of Element Manipulation and Technological Creation] [Path Jewel Grade: God (Rank 3)] Path Jewel Grade?]

<Yes> <No>

I quickly select "Yes" as a large number of Divine Points is immediately poured over the Path Jewel, the blue and gaseous planet-like orb begins to glow as the shower of stars illuminate it with splendor, thunder cracks all over it, as the blue colors twist around constantly and many rainbows emerge over the "planet-like" structure, which was merely the Path Jewel.

It was weird what was going on in here… It was as if my Path Jewel was really like an internal Universe, or something… and the Path Jewels were like very small stars or planets.

Could this power relate to my lineage being that of a Primordial Deity such as my mother? After all, I am a being made of Chaos and all… and she said she made with billions of stars and even galaxies…

Well, most of that power was lost when my body was fragmented into residual miasma through the many worlds I crossed through.

I don't know what happened with that miasma though… But maybe they are still going around somewhere.

I wonder if I could recover it someday…

Ding!

[The [Transcendental Goddess of Element Manipulation and Technological Creation] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)] Path Jewel has upgraded to the [Transcendental Goddess of Element Manipulation and Technological Creation] [Path Jewel Grade: God (Rank 3)] Path Jewel Grade!]

[All of the Path Jewel Abilities effects have been enhanced!]

[You acquired the [Super Gamma-Ray Cannon (0/500)] and [Divine Soul Mechanization (0/600)] Additional Abilities!]

After seeing there are two new Additional Abilities, I quickly check them out.

[Super Gamma-Ray Cannon (0/500)]

Passive Effect: Increases damage dealt by 200% when using this Ability Active Effect while using a Mechanical Cannon Structure.

Active Effect: Gather all the energy within your surroundings and combine it with your Divine Energy, forcing it to compress into a small sphere of pure gamma and unleash it, releasing a tremendous cannon ray, which destroys anything on its path, dealing multi-elemental damage and whose damage is increased by 500%.

[Divine Soul Mechanization (0/600)]

Passive Effect: Enhances all your capabilities by 500% while using the Active Effect of this Ability.

Active Effect: Through your amazing understanding of mechanical creations and your divine and magical connection with magical technology, you are capable of mechanizing your own soul by fusing it with already existing mechanical parts, artifacts, or treasures.

…

What?!

So the first one is a super broken cannon attack, and the next one is… to simply make my very soul a mecha? And then I can even fuse it with other mechas… and artifacts… and treasures…

Well… This indeed has some amazing effects.

The fusion seems to not be permanent, and I can stop the fusion at any time, but while fusing, it consumes Divine Energy over time, so I can't do this indefinitely.

Well, time to max this thing out.

[You exchanged 110.000 Divine Points (Rank 3: Goddess Realm)!]

[Path Ability Levels have increased!]

Additional Abilities:

[Super Gamma-Ray Cannon (0/500) > (500/500)]

[Divine Soul Mechanization (0/600) > (600/600)]

[You have Maxed Out all Abilities!]

[You can now Open More Branches within the Additional Abilities of the Path Jewel!]

[All of your Stats have increased!]

And done!

The next on the list should be the Path Jewel within the fifth Path Orifice, the [Void-Born Horrifying Spatial Aberration] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)] Path Jewel!

Ding!

[Do you wish to exchange 500.000 Divine Points to upgrade the [Void-Born Horrifying Spatial Aberration] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)] Path Jewel to [Void-Born Horrifying Spatial Aberration] [Path Jewel Grade: God (Rank 3)] Path Jewel Grade?]

<Yes> <No>

Yes, of course.

FLASH!

Just like in previous occasions, the pool of Divine Points within my soul opened a path, a small river where a large quantity of this ethereal liquid of power was infused into the black-colored star-like sphere within my Path Jewel, the Void-Born Horrifying Spatial Aberration] Path Jewel!

Through this act, the Path Jewel was enhanced, evolving, and transforming!

Ding!

[You exchanged 500.000 Divine Points!]

[The [Void-Born Horrifying Spatial Aberration] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)] Path Jewel has been upgraded to the [Void-Born Horrifying Spatial Aberration] [Path Jewel Grade: God (Rank 3)] Path Jewel Grade!]

[All of the Path Jewel Abilities effects have been enhanced!]

[You acquired the [Void-Essence Transfusion, Assimilation, and Transmutation (0/700)] and [Space-Time-Devouring Distortion (0/800)] Additional Abilities!]

Hoh?! This is looking good! Show them to me!

[Void-Essence Transfusion, Assimilation, and Transmutation (0/700)]

Passive Effect: You have become closer to the Void than ever before, giving you the amazing and law-breaking capabilities of passively absorbing Void-Essence without needing to do anything.

You can passively absorb Void-Essence, which will then be transfused into your very being and assimilated, to later be transmuted into different types of energies, such as Primordial Essence and Divine Energy.

This passive effect constantly nourishes your soul the more Void Essence you absorb, if you travel into an area in between spatial layers and mediate, this passive absorption will become greater, hastening your Cultivation by 200%.

Active Effect: Unleash the harnessed Void-Essence you have absorbed into an enormous explosion of the space-time-distorting void, dealing damage over time by generating several small black holes around your target, while also inflicting a larger amount of damage if you make them all distort and implode, dealing up to an increased 1000% damage the smaller black holes you generate. However, each attack devours your Void-Essence.

[Space-Time-Devouring Distortion (0/800)]

Passive Effect: Whenever you unleash the Active Effect of this Ability, ripples in space and time will emerge around the area where you unleashed the attack, generating small black holes that deal damage over time based on 50% of your Aether Stat.

Active Effect: Unleash the true power of someone who has become incredibly close to the void and can freely manipulate space and time around it, distorting the spatial layers around your target and the time fabric to shatter and distort it, dealing immense amounts of damage to anyone that it hits, ignoring 50% of Physical and Magical Defense and dealing up to 1000% damage bonus. Consumes Divine Energy and Void-Essence.

…

What?! Agh… This is ridiculous! It cost a lot, yeah, but look at this.

Very well then, although it takes a ton of Divine Energy, the power of these Abilities is indeed quite insane, so, I will take them.

[You exchanged 150.000 Divine Points (Rank 3: Goddess Realm)!]

[Path Ability Levels have increased!]

Additional Abilities:

[Void-Essence Transfusion, Assimilation, and Transmutation (0/700) > (700/700)]

[You have Maxed Out all Abilities!]

[You can now Open More Branches within the Additional Abilities of the Path Jewel!]

[All of your Stats have increased!]

The moment I took these Abilities and maxed them out, I felt a new rush of power surging through my entire being.

And suddenly, from within… everywhere, Void-Essence began to be poured into my soul and body.

It felt almost natural like I was just breathing.

This invisible energy was beginning to fill me with its power, and I was very slowly increasing Void Attribute Particles.

It was like a cultivation technique where I tempered by soul and body with the most unstable essence of the entire universe, Void-Essence…

I felt like wanting to meditate for a while so I could grasp this power completely, but there was a last Path Jewel I had to max out yet…

And it is the [Divine Goddess of Illusive Fantastical Dreams and Terrifying Nightmares] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)] Path Jewel!

Ding!

[Do you wish to exchange 600.000 Divine Points to upgrade the [Divine Goddess of Illusive Fantastical Dreams and Terrifying Nightmares] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)] Path Jewel into the [Divine Goddess of Illusive Fantastical Dreams and Terrifying Nightmares] [Path Jewel Grade: God (Rank 3)] Path Jewel Grade?]

<Yes> <No>

"Yes!"

FLASH!

The last path jewel is poured with my Divine Points, which resembles a translucent and colorful bubble of many illusory and beautiful, dreamy colors and essence!

Ding!

Oh?

[Illusory Dream Path Guider (0/800)]

Passive Effect: Enhance the growth of all capabilities to anyone guided through this power, while also enhancing the power that the user can get through their faith.

Active Effect: As a unique existence who has a transcendental connection with Dreams, you can guide those who seek dreams, illusory worlds, and an escape from their harsh reality, guiding them through your path and filling them with faith, hope, and inspirations.

[Dream World Devouring (0/900)]

Passive Effect: Enhance your capabilities by 1% for every Dream World you have eaten permanently.

Active Effect: Use your unique existence to devour entire Dream Worlds, assimilating their Dream-Essence into your very being and slowly transmuting them into Divine Energy and Primordial Essence. The more Dream Worlds you devour, the stronger your Dream Attribute Particles grow.

Erm...
