Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 996 - A New Dao Has Been Born!

The birth of a new Rank 9 God, and that of a new, never-seen-before Dao!

Dao was the comprehension of creation and the laws. It is the power to use the laws and create new powers from them, to create new law out of it, to use the laws that form the universe and make it your power!

This is why Daos were incredibly powerful, and could only be wielded by Supreme Gods and above… Their power could not be easily comprehended by those that had not comprehended at least two Laws at 100%.

However, an anomaly amongst anomalies was born that day… and it came from someone whose existence had been changing fate and destiny since her creation, Kireina!

Her daughter, Electra, had been born with a fully comprehended Lesser Dao, despite not having fully comprehended two Laws! This was unprecedented across all of Genesis…

In fact, her existence was unique to the point that she was born as a pseudo–Great Goddess right off the bat, being only a single rank from reaching such a power. At most, it has been seen that Living Deities could be born from Gods, but never actual Gods or above!

Even less with such high densities of attribute particles, automatic law comprehension, and a fully comprehended Lesser Dao… This was ridiculous!

And although the Gods had not been able to see any message of her raise to godhood, they were able to sense the birth of a new Dao. Of course, only some very strong Great Gods and Supreme Gods were able to sense it… But it was there!

"What is this power?"

"I can sense it… How beautiful… a new Dao!"

"A path to a new comprehension of all the laws… How wonderful…"

"It could only be from a Supreme. Could one of them have created a new one? It has not happened in eons!"

The population of Great Gods all across Genesis were not so many, they were perhaps less than 40, unlike the thousands of Gods, Demigods, and perhaps millions of Living Deities.

However, when these venerable entities learned about the existence of a new Dao, they rejoiced as it meant something beautiful, the sole comprehension of Laws was something enchanting, something awe spiring that all of them were aspiring to one day reach…

The highest Ranked Great Gods might have already developed what could be said to be a Dao Fragment… but it was not as powerful as a full-fledged Dao!

Even if this Dao was considered "lesser" the power that is contained within it was monstrous and impressive. Almost incomparable to any Law.

The Supreme Gods and the World\'s Will sensed this, and unlike the Great Gods who believed it was the Supreme Gods reaching some new power, they knew that this was very odd, very strange!

They would know immediately if any Supreme God developed a Dao due to the fluctuations within the Heavenly Laws of the world bending to this Dao and creating it, but this was odd, as this didn\'t happen! It was as if… the Dao came out of thin air! What kind of power was this?! Who had such a thing?!

Most of the Supreme Gods had some guesses…

The one with the Trait that let her do everything, and that gave her the percentage to do anything…

However, the World\'s Will seemed angered, and the Supreme Goddesses at her side, which were accompanied by their new young member, Agatha, were also wondering what happened.

"A new Lesser Dao… it appeared out of thin air! What\'s the meaning of this? Not even I am capable of such a thing…! And the worst part is that when it emerged out of thin air, it was instantly comprehended to 100%! Who could ever do such a thing?" wondered the World\'s Will.

"Could one of the Supremes have done this? Perhaps they had some kind of plan, and they created a Formation that could create Daos with enough Supreme Realm Materials!" said the Supreme Goddess of Fate and Destiny.

"You\'re the Supreme Goddess of Fate and Destiny yet you cannot guess who did it?" sighed the Supreme Goddess of Souls and Reincarnation.

"Of course I can\'t! Anyone capable of creating a Dao would not be able to be within my grasp… My Dao of Destiny, however, can also even work with Supreme Gods, but not from so far away from them, I require them to be at least ten kilometers within my body, and all of them are holed within a completely different space inside their Supreme Divine Realms, so I can\'t see their destiny," said the Supreme Goddess of Fate and Destiny.

"So even as an avatar here, you can\'t see my destiny?" asked the Supreme Goddess of Souls and Reincarnation.

"It\'s impossible… But I could if you let me close to your body," said the Supreme Goddess of Fate and Destiny.

"A-Ahem… I… I have an idea of who could have done it," said Agatha, asking politely.

All the supreme entities before her glanced at her the moment she spoke.

"Who?" they asked at the same time.

"Well, isn\'t it obvious? Kireina!" said Agatha.

"EH?!"

The three entities quickly realized that this was most likely.

"She\'s right…" they said.

After all, Kireina was the only one that was ridiculous enough to be able to do all sorts of insane things such as these! It was pretty obvious that she might be the culprit behind this!

But how did she even accomplished it?

"It didn\'t seem like she created it though. When a Dao is created by a God, it immediately fuses with it and causes some waves within the heavenly laws… But this time, nothing such as that happened…" said the World\'s Will.

"Her powers are evolving at an outstanding pace. We need to be cautious and continue to work hard… We cannot let her do as she pleases…!" said the World\'s Will.

"I suppose that if she created one, she might have spent all of her power, this is a great opportunity to accelerate the time inside our divine realms and work hard for her demise," said the Supreme Goddess of Fate and Destiny.

"Indeed!" said the World\'s Will.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Goddess of Souls and Reincarnation had begun to doubt her decisions. Well, she had been doubting them since she joined, which was mostly on a whim…

She was indeed very annoyed by Kireina\'s power over her souls, but she shouldn\'t have taken such a rash decision… It was better to stay neutral, just like the other Supreme Gods…

However, for the time being, she decided to assist with little things and see how long and far things can get… She seemed rather clumsy at times, but as a Supreme Goddess, she had lived for a lot of time, enough to call her an old demoness…

Meanwhile, within Kireina\'s Divine Realm, a little girl was playing around with technology.

The little Electra was raising her little pale-white hands as her emerald eyes flashed with divine energy, a natural-born Dao user who had fully comprehended a Dao while still being a Goddess, she was a unique existence across all of Genesis.

Her entire body emanated an aura with the divinity of the Dao of Technomancy, as everything she desired to construct came out of thin air and began to assemble itself into the items of high magic technology, from the bare raw ore that she created through her Earth Attribute Particles and the 10% comprehension in the Law of Earth…

After creating law materials, she used the attribute particles of the System, and then the law of 10% comprehension in the System Attribute to give "life" to her creations, making the mechs and technology she created to move and even gain faint sentience.

It was as if she was inspired, she didn\'t even know how to speak yet, but she already knew how to do all of this, it was a natural-born talent, and Kireina had already detected that her soul was not of anyone especial nor was a reincarnated soul, it had merely been spontaneously created as the fetus developed. And in the later stages, it skyrocketed into a Goddess of Rank 9…

She was truly something else… her eyes flashed with amazing talent and inspiration as she crafted all sorts of mechanical constructions, some that not even her two mothers had ever seen before…

The Dao of Technomancy led this miraculous child, as her very existence would change the fate of the world…

And so the many that were yet to come…

[Day 345]

Today in the morning we woke up with a surprise, Electra was making a lot of machines overnight, and they were now flooding the entire castle…

They were in all shapes, anything she saw, she made a copy made of technomancy. There was a mechanical cat, dogs, birds, even insects… there were also giant bears, lions, horses, and a lot of different-shaped "people" mechs, who also had no souls, yet their A.I. was developing incredibly quickly, and most of them had gained sentience, treating Electra as their goddess and queen, and ignoring anyone else.

We were surprised, so we decided to take care of some of these mechs and throw them into the bin… Meaning, my stomach. I ate a bunch of them, they tasted just like metal.

Electra didn\'t seem to mind and found it amusing how I ate anything she created.

After I ate around a lot of them, I felt like I gained… Something.

Eh? What is this? It felt strange like a weird sensation crossed through my Origin Core as I ate a large number of mechs.

It was a "funny" feeling, but then, a shock of knowledge that I couldn\'t really comprehend hit me, only to dissipate right after.

What the… heck?

I glanced at the mechanical parts I was eating, they seemed, well, "normal".

They were still divine materials, technically. They were God Rank Divine Materials, so such a thing as what I just suffered shouldn\'t be happening… Yet it happened. How odd.

Why was it?

Could it be that the materials contain some sort of essence from Electra\'s Lesser Dao of Technomancy?

Well we just cleaned a large number of robots, but she is continuing to make more… Oh Gods, this girl will never stop? Maybe whenever she runs out of divine energy and goes to sleep.

Well, for now, I decided to leave another body with her, mostly eating the robots she makes, which she seems to enjoy seeing me do.

Seriously, what an odd little girl… Well, I still love her.

As Electra continued making all sorts of stuff, I continued eating them and began to find out a bit more what was this essence within them…
