Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 1568: It Was All An Act!

.

I currently got 130 Stat Points, and it seems that rules have changed a bit. Apparently now Stat Points can give even more Stats per level! I had seen how Skills became cheaper as you grow stronger in the Skill Library, but it seems that Stat Points also begin to escalate with the user, which is pretty interesting.

So if I were to apply all 130 Stat Points into my Strength, I get 2600 Strength?! Amazing, that's a whole world of difference in strength! And what if I add all my points into Divinity then?

Ding!

[You have exchanged 130 Stat Points]

[You gained +650 Divinity]

[Your Divinity is rising, something is awakening!]

[You learned the [Body Shapeshifting: Lv1] Skill]

[You learned the [Abyssal Demon Fragment: Exoskeleton Armor of Chaos: Lv1] Skill]

Just as I supplied myself with some more Divinity Stat, I felt a bit more of my original divine powers remerging within me. Not only my Divine powers increased, but I was almost able to see Attribute Particles floating around my body and flowing into my soul and physical body. What was this all about?! Was I able to attain Divine Attribute Particles at the end of the day? Well, now that my Appraisal Skill is Level 6, maybe I can learn something more.

-----

[Divinity]: A Stat that compacts all things Divine within the user's Soul, Body, and Origin Core. It calculates Divine Energy, All other Divine Stats such as Aether, Ki, and Fate, alongside Attribute Particles and Law Comprehension. The higher it is, the stronger all of these stats become. It is also possible to awaken the user's latent Divine Powers through Skills, Title Skills, or even Divine Weapons, Armor, and other Items. Alongside other Stats such as Intelligence and Strength, this Stat calculates damage dealt, increasing it further.

-----

This amazing Stat is all of this?! So my Law Comprehension, Attribute Particles, and all of that… It just went there? Wait a moment, does that also means that I've been earning more Attribute Particles and Law Comprehension by merely fueling myself with Divinity Stat? Wow, this Stat is really amazing. I am sure I am not as strong as my former self yet, but… aren't I getting closer?

Is this entire world just way stronger than Genesis? But then… why the heck its D Rank? What Rank is Genesis even? Well, this really makes me think about how the power levels can change and shift depending in the Reality, Dimension, or World I am. Each World has their own Laws after all, so what if I am actually in like… a whole other Dimension? Wouldn't that make it even more different than Genesis? Although simplistic laws such as gravity, magic, life, death, and all of that still exists and it is the same, it feels as if the very fabric of all things is just "stronger".

Maybe this whole trip isn't actually making me just a weaker version of my previous self, but I might be evolving anew, gaining even more strength than before and all of that! I still got a lot to do after this, so I might even end up fighting many foes in the future so I can Level Up more.

Perhaps whenever I am back at Genesis, I'll begin kicking ass right away instead of sucking so much as I had originally thought…

And well, I also got two new Skills, I had already gotten a bunch of other new Skills as well after evolving, but these new Skills are not bad at all. Especially the first one.

I know what the second one does, it creates a powerful chitinous exoskeleton armor over parts of my body, it is almost the same exoskeleton armor I had before evolving, it also has a similar endurance and it has a metallic, purple-colored luster, so I can even be an armored butterfly.

But the first Skill… Body Shapeshift, my old friend!

I was seriously wondering when I would even get back this Skill! To think I would get it through increasing Divinity… Last time I saw it in the Skill Library, it costed over 1k Skill Points, so I was not really ready for it. But suddenly and out of the blue, I learned it through Divinity.

Well, I might as well try it out-

Ding!

[Black]'s [Predation] special effect has been activated]

[A New [High Quality Ego] has been created]

[Please, choose a Vessel for this new Ego]

"Hoh? So we got the Sword's Ego!" I said with surprise, looking at my surroundings to find everything in silence.

The ego quickly floated my way as I decided to quickly store it inside of my Item Box. I had just remembered we had just won a big war. I shouldn't be obsessing over Stats

and Skills right now.

I quickly decided to get back the rest of my Egos, as Black, White, and Aquamarine flew to my side, all completely repaired. Although they looked more pristine than ever, they seemed completely exhausted, the same for Silva.

"You guys did an amazing job." I said.

"Now what?!" Asked Black. "You literally scared everybody with your stupid pretend being evil act!"

"Eh?! But I won so everything should wrap up alright!" I said.

"You said you ate Sol! And where's Sol, Master?" Asked White.

"Was Sol crunchy?" Aquamarine asked.

"Huh? You guys didn't know that I can store living things inside my Inventory?" I wondered while raising an eyebrow… which I lacked. More like raising an antennae.

"What?! Isn't the usual rule that you can't do that?!" Asked Black.

"Pfff…! I can store any living being as long as they're unconscious. But that's pretty hard to do with an enemy, so I usually can't use it on battle that much." I sighed.

.

"So Sol is ok? You didn't ate him, mama?" Wondered Aquamarine.

"I didn't, I am a good person that doesn't eat others!" I said quite pridefully.

"Can I eat him?" Wondered Aquamarine, converting part of his body into the cute tiger form he can take.

"Err… It would be better if you didn't for now, dear." I sighed.

"Awww…!" Sighed Aquamarine, he seemed quite hungry.

"Well, I'll feed you a big piece of meat once we get back to town."

When I flew back to the army of elves, I still found them all flabbergasted. I looked around and everybody was constantly just looking at me without doing absolutely nothing. Were they scared? Should I tell them I am a good girl or something? Like, what do I even do right now? Should I just tell them I come in peace?

"Hello?" I asked.

"A-A giant butterfly…"

"It's enormous…"

"T-Those wings…"

"Why do I feel so dizzy?"

"Ugh…"

Wait, are my wings doing something to people? I looked into my wings and realized that they were emanating small particles, these were… scale powder? Wait, I did got a Skill that produces toxic scale powder. Does this has something to do with it?

Shit, I should really deactivate it!

When I managed to do so, the people was still dizzy.

After a few seconds of checking the new Skill, it apparently creates scales that aren't really toxic, but can cause confusion, dizziness, or even dumbness as status conditions. Wow, it can even make some fall asleep. I guess this new power might come in handy, but not for my allies.

"Let's see if this works… Purification!"

FLASH!

A flash of bright light covered the elves, as they finally regained their sanity.

"Why are you guys so gloomy! Ya'll won! The war is over! The Human Empire was defeated! WE WON!"

As I roared, the Elves suddenly realized it was finally over. The arduous war where many perished, where they put everything to fight.

It was finally over.

"W-We won…?"

"It is over…"

"This hell is over…"

"We won… WE WON!"

"WE WON!!!"

The elves finally began to celebrate, raising their arms and dropping their weapons into the floor, their cries resonated across the battlefield, as they began hugging one another while crying tears of joy over their victory and sorrow over the ones that lost their lives.

At the end, they led me back to the city where Luminous almost attacked me. They didn't saw how I killed Invidia and were actually in the middle of evacuating the place. Thinking that because I allied the enemy, it was now hopeless.

"WHY DID YOU DO SOMETHING SO AWFUL?! I was really scared and sad!" Cried Elfina. "I-I thought you betrayed us! You're really a meanie!"

Elfina began to cry a lot. While being comforted by Fiere I had already summoned Sol out and he quickly had gone to a bed. He was still sleeping so he was brought into his room by somebody else.

"Okay, I am sorry! It was still a crucial move, I knew the guy was super powerful, I had to absorb his energy so I caught him off guard when he thought I joined him… Ah, at the end he still almost killed me, but just before that I managed to evolve and I crushed him to death." I said with a smile. &nbs

p;

"Hmph… I guess it is finally over then. Your trickery was of use I suppose you're really like a demon. I am glad you're still on our side, but your act really put me nervous. I thought you really betrayed us." Said Luminous.

"Are you guys actually so gullible?! It was an obvious act! I was acting so exaggeratedly! How couldn't you tell? What sort of person talks like I had done to convince him? He was the only stupid enough to be convinced." I sighed.

"That's because you attacked us!" Luminous roared back.

Ah, well, he's not wrong there.
