Epic of Caterpillar

200 Supreme Overlord of Lust Se

I found Brontes, Kusuri, Kajiya, and Charlotte working in their respective subjects, Brontes had recently gathered a group of blacksmiths and forgers for herself, separate from Kajiya.

The same goes for Charlotte, who slowly managed to get more people in her group of researchers and alchemist.

Brontes was currently forging while having Vudia at her side at a safe distance, Vudia was currently over a small floating Red Slime, which I made specifically for her, it is mostly composed of my own Flesh and Slime Minions synthetized alongside a small piece of Wall Slime. It has an overprotective nature and can defend and protect my daughter from almost anything.

My wife was currently forging something using three different ingots in an amazing showcase of her capabilities and talent, using different forge techniques at once, reinforcing the minerals. The moment she noticed me, she stopped for a small bit as she kissed me and talked to me in a casual demeanor.

"Big sis, did you come to forge too?"

"Yeah, I\'m planning in making a new set of equipment for me using what I already have"

"But can\'t you repair it and make it better using your skills?"

"Oh right, but those have their limits as well, I cannot increase their ranks this way, at best I can mass produce and synthesize, but a synthesized product will always be inferior to something forged by my hands, or yours"

Brontes nodded with an understanding "hum".

"Hmh, I see… But you can also create an armor with your skills, why the need for equipment?"

"Even those armors strength depend in my current equipment if I don\'t wear any equipment, the power will be only the base stats, but if I have an already equipped set of armor and accessories, the armor skills use this equipment as "components" to increase its strength, and it stacks as I use different armor skills at the same time. Even though they seem to disappear, they reappear whenever I call my armor back into the skill"

"I understand, it is clearer to me now… It was quite confusing how you work sometimes, Big sister is full of surprises"

"Indeed… I need to craft a new set of equipment using my already existing one into a new set. Even after all my reinforcing skills and muscle enhancing ones, my body is still inferior to someone with the same amount of evolutions as me, or closer to them, for example, you. Your skin and muscles are incredibly tough and even with all my skills, I am still cursed into this Fairy Physique that I cannot change permanently, although I\'ve reached what would be considered the peak of my species, it still inferior to species completely dedicated to physical combat"

"I see… Big sister can fight one on one against me, you aren\'t weak at all, even without your armors"

"I suppose… But I am still too cautious… My experiences in the past had made me this way…"

"Ooh, that\'s with the skill [Greater Equipment Materialization], I can register any equipment bellow [Legendary] in there and regrow it back whenever I want, as long as I have enough resources at hand… This is how I mass produce things sometimes, but mass-producing affects the products in the long run and made them inferior"

"I see… Will you mass produce your equipment to forge the new one?"

"Only a little bit, as my equipment is of very high quality, I would need hundreds of thousands of Magic Cores and Stones to make more than three sets… With what I\'ve consumed, I can only make a second set. I don\'t want to waste so many resources in something that can be made using cheaper ones and even come with greater results, over-relying on this skill is not really a good option in these cases"

"Umu, I see… What materials will you use?"

"I will use a series of different ingots that I\'ve obtained from Athetosea Treasury… All of them being above [Mythical+] rank"

I suddenly opened my Item Box as I took several differently colored ingots to Brontes, they were of all colors and held the power of each element. Brontes was immediately amazed by the quality of the product.

"Such high-quality material! It doesn\'t compare at all with the ingots made from equipment generated by the dungeon, or even the ones made with Summoning Materials!"

"You have a very good eye, Brontes. Indeed, these ingots are of incredible quality. These were made by the Gnome and Dwarf Kingdom of Lostream! I\'ve read that they can produce such high-quality products with ease using the materials and minerals found inside of the Icy Mountain Walls themselves"

"They are very brave to mine such a place, it is the edge of the realm after all…"

I sat down in a small chair as I chatted with Brontes.

"I\'ve read that the ancient King Dwarf was an excellent blacksmith and became the [Legendary Hero of Forge], on his quest for the best materials, he traveled the whole continent until he found a specific place in the Snowy Mountain Walls that made him satisfied, since then, Lostream has been the only Kingdom that has lived inside of these mountains"

"Ooh! My tribe once used to do trades with Lostream… I wish I could go back to those wonderful times… I hope one day we will be able to travel there; I want to meet with the master blacksmith there and learn their teachings"

"I have it planned as well, don\'t worry. Now, now… I\'ll begin. By the way, what are you crafting now?"

"Oh? I am crafting an accessory for Vudia, I want to make a bracelet for her to increase her powers but at the same time to control them… The other accessories for the rest of the children are ready, whenever Vudia\'s is finished, I will gift them"

I approached Brontes and gave her a passionate kiss as a reward.

"I see, you are a very hard worker, thank you"

"Big sis can thank me in the b-bed as well…"

"Oh? I will gladly do so, but its time to work for now!"

"Hmh, that is true…"

After having a nice chat with my wife, I chatted a little bit with Charlotte as well, I found that she was creating new blueprints one after another, in what seemed to be a streak of inspiration.

"The components need to be roughly like this, and if not, I won\'t be able to infuse these chemicals inside of the prototype gemstones… Hmm, how about this? Oh! Of course! And if I use this component obtained from the Hydra\'s Cores instead of the Thunderstorm Phoenix ones… Well, it comes with some difficulties, but I would be able to alleviate them if I add more Thunder Spirit Stones, however, the quantity is not so generous… I will need to first create some substitute that its not just Magic Cores, maybe if I synthesize Soul Cores and use them as fuel as well?! Ooh!"

She seemed to be in her own world and I didn\'t want to interrupt her theory-crafting so I left her alone for now.

As sat in a small chair in my workshop, I unequipped all my armor and accessories and generated a Blacksmith suit with [Greater Equipment Materialization] to fit my work, as well as tying my hair tightly to not interrupt my work.

Seeing all the materials and equipment over the table, I used the resources that I had already consumed to produce an almost exact copy of them. As I did this, I glanced over my [Universal Crafting Book] for some ideas that could suit my taste and the aesthetic that I have gotten accustomed to, meaning gothic-styled things.

There were tons of candidates but I had the sudden urge to use these item recipes but change some things instead, creating my very own creation that has yet to be registered in this skill book.

I quickly started to synthesize my equipment, each piece of equipment was a pair, the end result of fusing each pair was even stronger pieces of armor and accessories. However, as I began to use my ingots to create new pieces, I used the existing equipment as a base for the new sets.

Carefully forging and crafting over them, I even used my Flesh and Slime Minions to help me in more intricate work, they were able to work even as adhesive and such, and could resist the heat of the forge due to my [Flame Body] skill which is pretty much Fire Immunity.

Alongside this, I also used the help of my Aura to suppress the constant magic released from my hammering, in this world, one must put intent and MP into what you forge to obtain the best results. As I did, the first set of items was finally taking shape and form, and instead of being just simple fusions and different equipment that I picked from everywhere, they became a whole set.

The first set included my Shadow Void Rose Chest Plate, which was made by a chestplate I found in a Dungeon and Brontes\'s gift in my one hundred days birthday, the [Void Adamantine Chest Plate]. With effort, I reinforced and forged it into a completely new armor. It had a beautiful red luster with a deep dark color, decorated with several roses and thorns made of purple and pink minerals. The first piece of my new set was done. I decided to name it [Supreme Overlord of Lust Set].

As I named it, the item suddenly exuded a strong power and gained my blessing alongside changing its appearance to my projection of what it was. I was sure that this didn\'t happen before… It was most likely due to my latest evolution, the power of my blessings skyrocketed.

One and half an hour later, my Dress Armor was also ready. I decided to make it into a scarlet red instead, giving me a better and more radiant look, I gave it some decorations with dark colors using my Sewing skill, which compliments excellently with Blacksmithing. I remade the dress using my Illusion Fabric alongside a Fabric made with several minerals from Lostream\'s ingots.

Another two hours later, my Crown was finished. This crown was originally made by a different crown and Adelle\'s gift on my one hundred day birthday as well, the [Golden Jewel Tiara of Aquaria]. While crafting this, I had to be extremely careful here as I had to rewrite most of the magic circuits inside on my own. Alongside this, I had to connect them with the gems and cores I wanted to implant in the crown before naming it into the set. The result was a beautiful dark red crown with a shiny luster, it was decorated with several gemstones of high qualities and gave me immense bonuses to my elemental damage.

As it was getting quite late, I decided to craft my last equipment of the day, this time being my [Ferocious Poisonous Mistress], the glove armor that I always wore on my hands, which gave me strong protection and grip to anything. It also had the capabilities of molding itself at my will, creating a long blade, a spear, and more.

This piece of equipment had an incredible potential due to the skills it carried, and its abilities, so I made sure to treat it well, even after duplicating it with [Greater Equipment Materialization] the copy wasn\'t even half of the power that the original was, I had to add plenty of ingots and materials to finally push the item towards [Mythical] rank an above.

When it was finally done, I had my first four equipment of my "reworked" set.

As I glanced at my new items, an immense feeling of accomplishment filled my mind. These items have far exceeded what I thought was I capable of. Their skills and bonus stats, everything seemed incredible, each item gave a unique skill as well, something that only they can give to me.

As I equipped each item, I felt a sudden connection with them and my soul… I felt as if the four items were now equipped by my ethereal soul instead of my own flesh body, it was a weird feeling and a little bit fuzzy. I suppose this is what those Legendary Heroes Weapons wanted to do with me as well.

This effect must be due to the skill [Soul Bound+], which suddenly appeared the moment I blessed my own equipment. It must be something tied to my powers… Now that I think about it, if these items are really soul bounded, they will be able to evolve with me as well, just like my wives Legendary Weapons.

Perhaps I should soul bound with my other Legendary Weapons, but I\'m conflicted, as I am saving most of them for when I can eat them of course! Well, I will think about it, although making my own weapon to rank to [Legendary] and then [Phantasmal] wouldn\'t be so bad either.

I suddenly felt incredible fatigue in my mind and soul and noticed that every time I named an item, my soul took a heavy chunk of its mass to bless the item. I quickly took my [Nether Sword of Undying Pain] and began to snack on the souls stored there as I made my way to the dining room where I had a nice dinner with my family and then went to bed.

Hmm… I\'m beginning to have a craving for more Sins, this last war didn\'t give me anything good enough.
