Epic of Caterpillar

I quickly rushed forward despite the many attacks reaching up to us, as I quickly came out with a new and powerful combined technique by temporarily fusing my power with Aquamarine\'s skills.

"[Water Armor] + [Water Barrier] + [Ocean Vortex] + [Frost Prison] + [Reflective Ice Mirror Shield] + [Divine Authority of Gluttony] + [Dao Of Gates] + [Divine Authority of Primordial Chaos] + [Nightmare Domain] + [Monarch of Gluttony] = [Reflective Abyssal Nightmare Ice Mirror Gates]!"

The power within my soul and body poured from my body like countless lines of purple and black essence of enormous power, converging with Aquamarine\'s blue and white lines of power, they suddenly conjured a gigantic gate in the middle of our path, as the hundreds of laser rays reached us!

FLAASH! FLAASH! FLAASH! FLAASH! FLAAASH!

All the beams were easily swallowed by the gates created on the spot as they opened. Dozens of gates appeared easily, and was the beams were absorbed, such beams did not disappear, but reflected the attacks and shoot them back at double the speed and power!

FLAASH! FLAASH! FLAASH! FLAASH! FLAAASH!

The beams quickly were directed back, such strong red beams capable of even damaging my own body and exoskeleton quickly reached the wyverns, piercing through their bodies and leaving countless holes all across them!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

However, the bastards were relentless, trying to recover back from all of those wounds using their newly acquired super regeneration… But that\'s where Monarch of Gluttony acted.

Each laser sent back wasn\'t simply the laser alone, they contained within the power of the Monarch of Gluttony, granting it Devouring powers which disrupted wounds self-regeneration!

"ROOARRRGGH!

"RAAAAH?!"

"GRUUHHH…!"

The Mutated Wyverns suddenly found their wounds worsening as tiny bacteria-sized soul clones continued devouring their interior bite through bite! And with Aquamarine, using the same formula, we conjured a new Technique altogether!

"[Water Armor] + [Water Barrier] + [Ocean Vortex] + [Frost Prison] + [Reflective Ice Mirror Shield] + [Divine Authority of Gluttony] + [Dao Of Gates] + [Divine Authority of Primordial Chaos] + [Nightmare Domain] + [Monarch of Gluttony] = [Endless Frozen Sea of Chaotic Nightmares]!!!"

TRUUUUMMM…!

An enormous gate opened before us as we ran forward, as a gigantic sea of black miasmic liquid emerged from within, shaping into a deadly vortex that flew towards our foes, catching them all up within its black waters and drowning them into it!

SPLAAASSSSHH!

And not only that, but it quickly began to freeze, converting the Mutated Wyverns into living statues which Black, White, and Silva quickly started to slice apart one by one with their fast movements and amazing flying speed!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!!!

Crack… crack…!

CRAAASH!

The Mutated Wyverns ended falling apart into pure fragments one after the other as we continued beating them through this strategy, while also taking damage ourselves. The powerful Wyverns attacked from all sides, even using the barriers of Humility had almost no effect, but thanks to my regeneration abilities and the power to absorb chaos with Bubu as my other bodyguard and Colora buffing us and debuffing the enemies we were managing, easily melding into the wyvern\'s flock, and freezing and slaughtering as many as we could!

No matter what stupid tricks the foe pulls out, I\'ll always find a way. After all, the power of Defiance overflows within my ever-growing Origin Core. The more it recovers, the stronger my Trait will become, as it is, it is already recovering rapidly! With the defying power of Defiance blessing our charge, we continued attacking.

As Kireina and her small group of Egos and Summoned Maxima Beast took over a quarter of the battlefield and steadily froze and slain the powerful Mutated Wyverns. Everyone else was also working with everything they had to fight this threat. Although it seemed controllable before, ultimately, the Wyverns gained an unexpected boost to their stats!

Kireina was trying out her new Path Jewel, and it was working properly, even stronger than before, in fact! However, the Wyverns became so tough that even her jaws of gluttony were not biting through them as easily. By freezing them over and then biting them, things became way more easy! However, the intensity of blows and their durability made it so these monstrous mutated monsters were still not as easy to take down, taking time and strategies.

And within the crowd of monsters, Sol, Ariant, and Eriant, Brunhild, Fiere, and Luminous were assembled as a group and fought all out against the Mutated Wyverns! Kireina has always been quite her "own thing" since she joined them, but always helped them fight. Nonetheless, the weaker ones always had to stick together. And it wasn\'t as if Kireina didn\'t had a whole team of egos and summons assembled with her, so even she wasn\'t alone, but merely had her personal team to go on her own accord.

"Kireina\'s ridiculously strong now!" Sol noticed. "She awakened so much power… Can I also do the same?" He wondered, as he fought together with many of the companions at his side, unleashing Prideful Flares, Sunlight Beams, and Overpowering Suns everywhere, countless explosions spread in front of his sight. "If she had her own innate power and talent, what do I have myself?! I need power… I need it to help Elfina, to defeat this damn obstacle set in our path by the Genie."

Sol recalled his past, from his old times as a farmer to all the things he went through as a Hero. The suffering, the hardships, everything, even his death. His life felt so filled with mistakes and regrets, but now that he had suddenly found people that gave him a reason to fight once more, and someone he held very dearly, someone he even… thought he could love, all that strength he once thought he had seemed to be insufficient.

"I wasn\'t a god like her… Do I even hold such potential?" He sighed internally, struggling to fight as countless beasts swarmed everyone.

"My wielder, trust your strength. You are the herald of the sun itself."

However, the voice of his very sword spoke to him for the first time!
