Epic of Caterpillar

"[Starfall]!"

FLUOSH!

The Mana gathered on insane quantities into the palms of my hands, as they fused with the Cosmic Aura. In less than a second, my aura suddenly grew bright spheres of light. They were no mere light magic, they were stars themselves, just incredibly small…

"T-This is like Frank\'s powers, isn\'t it?" I sighed in contempt. "Let\'s see…"

I pointed the stars at the sky and then shoot them up.

FLAAAAAAASH!

The stars flew into the skies at an incredibly insane speed. Before entering into contact with the atmosphere and disappearing… Only for them to reach some target, somewhere, and exploding.

BOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

The entire city of Goldsand, that were carefreely celebrating the liberation of the dungeon and of the many monsters tormenting them were amazed as they saw the explosion of stars in the sky, many believe to be a natural phenomenon.

"WOOOW! Amazing! What was that?!"

"No idea but it was great!"

"I can\'t believe my eyes right now!"

"Could it had been fireworks? We\'ve not had them for years now…"

"So beautiful… It is as if stars exploded!"

I guess people were taking it nicely… I had hidden from everyone just to evolve. I hope my friends don\'t find out I am the evil culprit behind the "exploding stars" incident.

Nonetheless, for now I should check other things… Apparently upon evolution I got a new Dao and a new Divinity Authority!  Oh man, these don\'t happen too often, don\'t they? Well, if I increase my Divinity Stat using Stat Points some more, I think I could get more of them.

But too many is not recommended even now. Not even before did I use all of them together, even though I believe I\'ve grown slightly stronger than my previous self already, my quantities of Mana, which are comparative to my previous quantities of Divine Energy, cannot simply utilize everything all at once.

Of course, that\'s without cheats… Considering my Mana Drain Skill and my natural ability to drain even more mana from the environment using my divine aura, I suppose I can regenerate Mana more rapidly.

Anyways, I should quickly check out my new Skills and see what they are all about. Although I can get a general understanding of what they\'re capable of, it is never wrong to just check out what they can truly do, right?

[Cosmic Cocoon: Lv1]

A Special Title Skill granted to a unique lifeform, the Cosmic Cocoon. It grants the ability to have a near limitless amount of types of evolution and different branches across many times of living beings previously registered within the user\'s soul data. Additionally, it increases Cosmic Attribute Learning Speed, Damage, Special Effects, and Power by +25% with each Skill Level.

Grants the Ability to Assimilate Data such as DNA from any being the user can interact with, which might enhance evolution options once the cocoon finally hatches.

Oh? This one is quite… strange. It kind of reminds me of my original Gluttony powers, which are slowly coming back to me, but more interesting. Data, huh? So I could absorb Data and enhance evolution options… I\'ll have to try this out later, but it might mean I can evolve into pretty much anything now, no? Interesting… What kind of power will this even give me in the future?

[Cosmic Aura: Lv1]

A special Aura that only those who have obtained the Cosmic Attribute can naturally develop, a powerful Aura that can summon the wielder\'s "concept" of what the Cosmos is for them, which increases in vastness and power as their Divine Energy, Mana, and other Stats increase.

All Divinities take part into this aura\'s power growth and will influence its appearance and shape as well. Additionally, Cosmic Magic can be conjured more easily by utilizing the Cosmic Aura as the major catalyst, increasing damage dealt and effects by +30% with each Skill Level. While the Aura is active, All stats increase by +50% with an additional +25% with each Skill Level. The user\'s senses are enhanced by +500%.

-----

Oh this one\'s more like it! A direct boost to all stats upon activation?! Now that\'s what we were talking about! I am fairly happy about this Skill in specific. The more buffs I can stack together, the more I can fight against powerful threats. Though… Now that I am S Rank, things are not going to be as hard as before. I am already waiting the moment I can fight that damned Desert King again, I am going to blast that bug\'s face for all its worth.

[Star Fall: Lv1]

A beginner level Cosmic Magic Spell, gather your Cosmic Aura and unleash a Star against your enemies. Dealing up to +250% damage with each Falling Star. Damage is increased by +50% if used with the Cosmic Aura, and each level increases Damage Dealt, Area of Effect, and Mana Requirements by +25%. The higher the level, the stronger and bigger the star will become.

-----

Basic and to the point! I guess this guy over here is not bad at all. I had already tried it once and it just blasted the entire sky… Don\'t really know what to say about this in particular, but it seemed pretty great to be honest. It kind of reminded me of Overpowering Sun in a way…

But I guess this guy is more unique, as it utilizes Cosmic Essence, although the levels of it are so low they don\'t even show. Maybe I need more Cosmic Essence, but eating Frank\'s soul fragments is a no-no.

Anyways, lastly…

[Starlight Eyes: Lv1]

Your eyes shine like the starlight and can unleash the truest brightness of the universe. The beauty of your eyes can dazzle most lowly beings that aren\'t as strong as you, putting them into a state of [Stupor] as they glance into the vastness of the Cosmos and are left completely out of breath. While being on [Stupor], foes\' mentality is deranged, all stats decrease by -25%, sanity is constantly lost.

Additionally, your eyes are capable of glancing across stars easily, having an incredible range, which increases with each level, you can also naturally detect sources of cosmic energy.

-----

Oh! This one\'s not bad at all either!
