Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 804 - Powerups!

Now I feel the difference, I can very well feel it all over me!

The combination of all these fragments… Now they are truly mine, part of my very soul!

Oh damn, this is insane.

These fragments which I always got through dreams had now become a Path Jewel and fused into my Path Board, becoming my very core.

Now they are not bound by the system but are part of my very existence.

With them, I can literally turn into a giant monster whenever I want to.

And all of their power was upgraded, and the skill tree even came with special offensive and passive effects, it is as if I got ultimate skills for them or something like that.

Pretty awesome.

Hey so now I can tear down space with my claws?

I think I was already able to do that.

But I can do it even easier.

I quickly sit down in bed and then shapeshift my hand into a black, metallic, and monstrous claw, and then swipe it into the empty air.

FLASH!

Suddenly, a crack in space emerges, as it begins to suck air until it closes automatically…

I think it caused a bit of a commotion, but everyone is fine.

S-Sorry about that.

But yeah, I do have this power, at least, I do have it to do it easier now.

Anyways, I should actually just max the other two Path Jewels, so let\'s check the next one, I want to have breakfast after this…

[Path Orifice 4: [Transcendental Goddess of Element Manipulation and Technological Creation] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)]: The Path for those who have transcended as a manipulator and creator of elements and self-made technology that uses the laws and magic of the world to function.

[1st Branch]

[Transcendental Creation and Manipulation of Elements and Divine Technology (000/100)]:

EH?!

What is the meaning of this thing?

Okay.

I know that it is about the creation of elements, but isn\'t this way too OP?

No, I have already gotten pretty broken stuff, let me rewind time and discard my surprise.

But still, this is incredible.

These Abilities sound crazy, and now I can even construct new types of technology?

So I can begin upgrading everyone\'s mech bodysuits with what is named \'Divine Machinery\'!

Amazing, let me max these babies out immediately while checking their details.

[1st Branch]

[Transcendental Creation and Manipulation of Elements and Divine Technology (000/100)]:

Your knowledge over the ability to manipulate the elements that surround and make this world has reached a transcendental level, giving you great precision and mastery over their manipulation and creation.

You can swiftly generate elements or manipulate already existing ones, changing their composition, form, strength, and more, depending on the Skills and Magic you use alongside them, the power that they can exert, or their effectiveness will increase.

While creating Divine Technology, grants the user the ability to acquire endless inspirations while crafting and forming new items.

Additional Abilities:

[Divine Element Fabrication and Shaping (00/20)]

Passive Effect: Increases your knowledge over the use of other elements, the swiftness of your manipulation, fabrication, and shaping, while also enhancing the potency and quality of such created and manipulated elements, while decreasing the amount of energy needed to create and manipulate them.

Active Effect: Create, shape, and change any element you can think of, elements that you have already consumed can be created with greater swiftness.

…

This one is the b.a.r.e basics I guess… Wait for a second, any element?

Can I materialize Void, Time, Space, Fate, System?

I do not know how they will look materialized, as they are abstract attributes.

Perhaps they will just look like colored rocks or stones if \'materialized\' and their purest form can be used to craft items.

Wait, can\'t I abuse this to fill up my Attribute Particles?

…

No, it seems that I cannot use it that way, I will not get attribute particles by eating them or something, but other people than me do get some boost in power if they match the element affinity.

[Transcendental Divine Technology Creator (00/20)]

Enhances the effectiveness and speed of Element Creation and Manipulation by 200%.

Active Effect: Use your vast knowledge about the Divine Technology you have designed to create and modify Divine Technology armament and items of all types and functions, the limit is only your imagination.

….

Oh, so this is it.

This amazing Ability will let me create these Divine Technology or whatever they are called.

Amazing, and now, this power is not bound to the System, but it is mine.

Although this is giving me Legendary Mechanic vibes…

[Transcendental Heavenly Armory Gates (00/20)]

Passive Effect: Enhances all damage deal from Divine Weapons created through this Path Jewel Abilities by 200%.

Enhances elemental damage effectiveness by the Divine Weapons created through this Path Jewel by 200%.

Active Effect: Summon your inner Heavenly Armory, where all the Divine Weapons you have ever consumed and the new ones resulting from their combination rest, unleashing a constant shower of powerful Divine Weapons against your foe, enhancing your damage dealt with this Skill by 300%.

Every Weapon created through this Ability will come charged with a great amount of elemental power, and can also directly damage your foe\'s soul for extra damage whenever the element matches your foe\'s elemental weakness.

…

Gates of Babylon!

Okay, they are not called like that, that is copyrighted after all!

But this is already something I always had anyways, although it is now as strong as a true Divine Technique and even more, bound to my very soul.

This Ability is like the culmination of a lot of spells and skills I once used to generate my Gate of Babylon knock-offs, and probably, this one Ability is the closest I could ever get to unleash the power that Gilgamesh-sama once did!

…Wait, isn\'t there a Gilgamesh God in Genesis?

Oh yeah, he blessed Vudia…

Could it be…?

…No, I do not think he is from Fate, that is a copyrighted fictional universe from Earth after all!

Moving on…

[Advanced Divine Machinery Affinity (00/20)]

Passive Effect: Greatly Enhances your Affinity with the creation of all types of Divine Machinery by 500%, giving you the power to assimilate and assemble your body parts, combining it with this technology for an even greater effect in combat and other areas.

Active Effect: Use your advanced Affinity with Divine Technology to create great pieces of machinery, which can be assembled for greater forms of technology, items, and more through the use of Divine Energy or other types of energy such as Divine Skill Points or Divine Dungeon Points.

…

This one is an obvious and amazing Ability, with this, my ability to create and assemble Divine Technology enhances even further beyond!

I am going to become the Goddess of Technology of Genesis!

[Divine Mechanical Field: Transcendental Divine Technology Body (00/20)]

Passive Effect: Creates a field of 50 meters around the user where it is possible to generate and assemble already created Divine Mechanical Parts while enhancing their durability and damage dealt by 200%.

This field can be turned on and off.

Active Effect: Unleash the true power of your creations by calling on all the Divine Mechanical Parts you have ever assembled and reinforced, fusing them with your body to generate a Divine Technology Body, enhancing all of your capabilities while in this form by 500%.

Requires the Divine Mechanical Field to be active to maintain this form.

…

Holy moly, what is this thing?!

With this Ability, I can pretty much become a giant mech myself!

Not just wearing a freaking bodysuit, but be the mech.

[Divine Machinery Blueprint Refinement (00/20)]

Passive Effect: Enhances your knowledge, understanding, and inspiration while creating Divine Machinery Parts and Artifacts through this Path Jewel Abilities by 500%.

Active Effect: Grants the power to generate special blueprints by spending energy such as Divine Energy, Divine Skill Points, and Divine Dungeon Points that can be used to easily assemble and upgrade Machinery and Artifacts.

Certain materials and energy quantities will be needed for the creation of items through Blueprints, but through Blueprints, it will be possible to assemble incredibly complex pieces of Divine Technology which would be impossible to do instantly through other Abilities within this Path Jewel Skill Tree.

…

I see I was already getting a bit worried about how exactly I was going to assemble such effective and nice Machinery and Artifacts, but through this Blueprint Ability, I can make even the most complex of designs and instantly generate them with this next Ability! …as long as I have the energy and resources.

[Instant Deconstruction and Assembly (00/20)]

Passive Effect: Enhances the quality, endurance, strength, and energy conduction, of any Machinery and Artifact you Assemble or Deconstruct by 200%.

Active Effect: Enhances your ability to deconstruct and assemble any type of Divine Machinery or Divine Artifact item that you have in mind or within a Blueprint by 500%, as long as enough materials and energy are given.

…

And here it is, the last of the bunch, with this, the whole Skill Tree is complete, and each Ability goes excellent with one another, perfect harmony, each thing complements each other!

Without further ado, I decide to use my Divine Skill Points and max all of this amazing Path Jewel Skill Tree Branch immediately!

For so long have I always dreamed of having giant mechs, now that I achieved it, I am evolving it to even further heights!

I wonder if I can make one big enough to swallow a planet…

Ding!

[All of your Stats have increased!]

The moment I max everything out, my entire body receives a new boost of power through the bonus Stats!

And alongside that, my soul resonates with this new power, shivering with new energy and innate Abilities!

I glanced at my hand as I begin using one of these Abilities immediately.

Let\'s see… let\'s create the element of Law!

FLASH!

Suddenly, the entire world trembles!

The spatial layers begin to twist around, as if they were in pain, at the same time, thunder is unleashed around, although I quickly create a barrier to isolate myself from the outside world.

Pop.

Suddenly, a white bead is produced, as all these changes stop.

Why did it need to be so dramatic?!

This bead was… A Law Attribute Material.

Although it will not give Attribute Particles when consumed by anyone, not even me, it can be used as a material to assemble something even greater…

Now…

Imagine a giant mech made out of Law, Fate, and System Attribute Materials.

Wow, this is getting a bit nuts.
