Epic of Caterpillar

409 More Evolutions?!

[LEVEL 073/250] [EXP 302.628.576.647/400.000.000.000]

Today Nephiana\'s eggs seemed to be still merged into a single rainbow-colored one… its presence had become warmer and more welcoming, and it seemed that it was close to hatching… perhaps in a few days.

Nephiana had decided to stay with the egg until then, and this also gives her the excuse to slack off more… the Spirits and the Rin Sisters had come as well to accompany her for now.

Due to the constant requests of Lilith, Altani, and Nanako, I decided to evolve them today, with Mady added into the mix. Although she has not bothered me in this regard, she did want to get stronger and saw the evolution induction idea as attractive.

Leaving her three eggs to the care of my Slime Clones for a few minutes, we moved towards the Magic Ritual Room.

"I\'m rather intrigued, I\'ve heard from Acelina and Charlotte that the evolution is unique… do you really merge the materials in our skin? That\'s an interesting way of doing it…" said Mady.

"Well… yes, that\'s how I do it. The materials are needed to be added as a part of the subject\'s body or the evolution would fail or just not happen" I said.

"Hm… I don\'t really want to be the coward one in here, but that\'s quite creepy to think about" said Nanako, she seemed to want to evolve, but her trembling hands said something else.

"Don\'t worry, Nanako! Haven\'t you seen how the rest of the girls had done it fine?" Lilith said, patting Nanako\'s delicate shoulders with her strong hands.

"Gyaah! S-Stop, Lilith! You\'re patting my eyes, they\'re too sensitive! Geez, all of you are so brute sometimes…" said Nanako.

"Ah…! S-Sorry… Did it hurt too much?" said Lilith. Although she had a herculean strength comparable to Oga and Brontes, she wasn\'t much of a brute, and always was a shy country girl. Her personality had changed a lot since then, but she is still apologetic and often cute.

"N-No, it\'s fine, it doesn\'t hurt, they are rather thought, but my eyes are very sensitive, that\'s all. Just don\'t do it again, Lilith" said Nanako.

"Thanks… I fear that my strength will increase even more when I evolve again. To be honest, I like this new appearance and my strength, but it has been hard to adapt to it properly. Especially when I used to be just a defender before" said Lilith.

"Uwah, Master you\'re so considerate sometimes… I would gladly take some classes from Brontes, she is also such a nice mother, I want to be like her whenever our child is born" said Lilith, with a happy smile.

"Well, it seems that its gestation will take a few more months, as your belly hasn\'t bulged much," I said.

"Hmm… I wonder if it\'s fine for us to evolve if we are waiting for a child? Even if it\'s just a \'fetus\'?" asked Altani.

"That\'s a very good question. But I had already answered it before, it should be fine, the evolutions do not negatively affect the subject, and the child may end up evolving as well, strengthening it even more"

"Well… if its master who is so sure, we shouldn\'t doubt her" said Nanako.

"I\'m still quite troubled, but I will trust you, Kireina," said Altani.

"My words aren\'t baseless, as I had already experimented several times with small monsters, especially those who were pregnant, such as Giant Fire Rats, Armored Tanukis or Horned Rabbits"

I had experimented using the Evolution Skill with the help of my Slime Clones after I evolved Mao. I had even thought about the possibility of doing it in pregnant monsters, and it didn\'t seem to affect them negatively, aside from making them tired.

The monsters became stronger and more vigorous when they woke up, and their pups would be born evolved as well, sometimes taking on new never-seen-before evolutions.

Of course, some evolutions failed, I had to admit it. But as I kept practicing, I became more confident in my work as the rate of failure greatly decreased. After obtaining titles such as \'Mother of Evolution\', the chances of succeeding became even greater.

Another interesting thing is that I was able to make my Slime Clones evolve, although it would bring them some boost in strength, it wasn\'t as much.

I had thought about separating my body in half as a separate being, evolve it, and then combine it with myself… but that would take many resources, too many to be honest, due to my level of strength.

Perhaps if I were to get some materials such as the body of a demigod or god… Maybe I should ask for pieces of the bodies of the gods now? Hm, but perhaps giving me a piece of their soul was their limit. I shouldn\'t weaken them anymore, as they are important allies.

The first to be evolved was Altani, who seemed enthusiastic. She had come a long way since I meet her, I have to be honest in that I was rather merciless back then, but I won\'t regret my decisions, as invading, eating, and enslaving the Vast Plains Tribes brought a lot of new strength to me, my family and my Kingdom.

Altani had half of her tribe offered as a sacrifice to me, while the other half was offered a new life in my Kingdom. I had decided to make them all fall asleep to not see the slaughter, so they didn\'t hold any terrible memories.

At first, Altani was rather pushy with me, but by using my charm and fragrances, she fell to my enchanting beauty… Hm, I think I\'m quite the insane hypocrite, but that\'s how I like to live, and how best I feel that life should be.

Hm… it is often quite interesting how self-aware am I of my own \'wrongdoings\', but I cannot help but embrace them and find them as \'the right thing to do\' for myself.

To be self-aware of my own bad actions while still embracing them and doing them anyways makes it clear how insane I have become. I am not even a human anymore, so I shouldn\'t worry about morality in this regard. But it is still a lingering thought of my past as a normal human being, and how much one can change given the circumstances.

I am not someone who would whine about life being horrible or something, I will just do what I think it\'s right, until the day I die. But in the meantime, I shall do everything I can for that day to never happen and to protect what I love.

I nurtured Altani\'s strength slowly and made her awaken her Magic and skills, she had a nice affinity with Starlight Magic, branched magic from the Light Attribute, and after inserting the Hero\'s Seed of wind, she gained Wind Attribute Magic.

She was always good with long spears and lances, and they are her current weapon of choice. Her movements are flashy and directed to the enemy\'s weak points.

After evolving into a Chaos Human through my blessings, she finally embraced what was being a \'monster\', leaving aside the morals of a human and not holding grudges against me anymore. Because it seemed that she had a small grudge, which slowly dissipated as she was immersed in the new environment of my Kingdom.

She had always been rather serious, but it\'s now developing better with everyone. She is shy at times and likes to speak how she likes to practice and to grow stronger. She used to be too worried about her tribe in the past, but now that the tribe is in the care of my Empire, she has more time for herself and to develop her own thoughts.

Her Chaos Human evolution was of the Dragonoid-type, she gained scales made out of emerald that covered several parts of her body, such as her shoulders, half of her legs and feet, and her hands. She also obtained a long and thick tail, and her hands gained sharp claws, while in her forehead she had two long coral-like horns made out of emerald-like material.

Her Wind Attribute magic had received the largest boost out of this evolution, as it became Emerald Wind Magic. Her physical capabilities surpassed a superhuman as she gained the \'Monstrous Strength\' Skill.

Her chocolate-colored skin and her long silvery-white hair remained, as I analyzed her beautiful naked body, I had already administrated the anesthesia, so she was peacefully sleeping over the ground.

I decided to take out the desired materials, some of which I had saved for several days, such as the materials dropped from the Life Dragon King of Windstorms and Thunderstorms scales, flesh, blood, bones, and part of its brain. There were also several other dragon materials from dozens of different species that spawned in Morpheus\'s dungeon.

Special \'Emerald Wind Spirit Stones\' were added as well, which were made when I put a lot of intent into my \'Creation\' Skill, generating solidified jewels of Emerald Wind Mana. My Orbs, charged with my Mana were added as well, and I also shapeshifted several pieces of my flesh into the dragon transformations I take, alongside my Abyss Demon Skin Scales, both Athos scales, blood, bones and flesh, and plenty of my Slime Clones charged with Light Attribute and Wind Attribute Mana.

The last material to make her evolution special was the [Ancient Life Dragon Thunder and Wind Glands Elixir (Legendary)] item, dropped once by the Life Dragon Kind when I killed it once.

Having merged all of these materials into Altani\'s body by using Synthesis enhanced by my Aura and Soul, I activated my \'Forced Evolution Induction\' Skill and the required Chaos Attribute Spells such as [Genetic Disorder] and [Chaotic Mutation].

Flash!

Strong emerald winds, blinding starlight, and electricity began to emerge from nowhere as they engulfed Altani\'s body. The materials were easily absorbed by her figure as her shape began to change slightly. Her height increased by a few centimeters and her long dragon tail became even longer as if it were the tail of a snake-like dragon.

Her arms gained stronger and thinner Emerald Scales, with some which had yellow and golden colors as well, creating a bright mix of colors. Aside from this, a small amount of green and yellow feathers grew in her arms, legs, and tail, decorating the scales and creating a beautiful combination.

Her coral-like horns combined and became pure gold, resembling a crown that spiraled around Altani\'s head. Her skin color and hair color remained the same but seemed even more smooth and dazzling.

When she woke up, her right eye was emerald, while her left eye was yellow. Each one seemed to possess a different attribute, and her ears were pointy and covered n thin emerald scales from the sides.

"Hm… Ah! Oh? Feathers? And my tail grew excessively long… Hopefully, I don\'t end up losing my legs in my next evolution, it would be troublesome" said Altani, differently than other girls, she seemed quite calm after her evolution.

"Uwah… Altani, you\'ve become so majestic!" said Lilith, admiring Altani\'s majestic new appearance.

"She resembles the Empress of a feathered dragon tribe. I wonder if such a tribe exists?" said Mady.

"And her horns… they joined together and formed a strange yet beautiful crown… I wonder if it\'s any heavy to her head" wondered Nanako.

"No, it\'s not… my strength had multiplied several times. It feels just as light as my hair" said Altani, glancing at her arms and claws, her beautiful feathers decorated several parts of her body.

"These feathers are very… picturesque… I don\'t like to call much attention, sigh" she muttered.

"Huh? But you gather a lot of attention already… after your evolution, a lot of the Dragonoid-type Chaos Humans call you their big sister" said Lilith.

"They do…? And this crown… the striking feathers, the long tail, and the bright scale colors, perhaps they thought about me being their big sister affect my evolution somehow… hm, oh! I gained two new magic attributes?! Thunder and Life!"

Altani had become a new species of Dragonoid-type Chaos Human, its greater characteristic was the bright colors of their scales, feathers, and very long snake-like tails.

I can already imagine how beautiful and dazzling she may end up looking whenever she evolves again. However, for Altani this could be quite bad, she doesn\'t like to stand out.
