Epic of Caterpillar

After having left Quin well feed and sleeping like an adorable little princess, I finally finish gathering all the EXP Potions I have been stacking up this whole time.

There was a lot, but some were already quite outdated as the EXP given was very small… but anything is useful at this point.

The Potions were as follows:

[Extraordinary EXP Elixir (1.000.000.000.000) (Legendary)] x1

[High Generous EXP Elixir (700.000.000.000) (Mythical+)] x1

[Generous EXP Elixir (500.000.000.000) (Mythical)] x1

[Incredible EXP Elixir (900.000.000.000) (Mythical+++)] 1

[Incredible EXP Elixir (1.000.000.000.000) (Mythical+++)] x1

[Super Incredible EXP Elixir (1.300.000.000.000) (Legendary)] x1

[Transcendental EXP Elixir (100.000.000.000.000) (Phantasmal)] x1

[Great Transcendental EXP Elixir (500.000.000.000.000) (Phantasmal+++)] x2

[Great Heavenly Transcendental EXP Elixir (1.000.000.000.000.000) (Heavenly)] x2

[Great Heavenly Transcendental EXP Elixir (1.000.000.000.000.000) (Heavenly)] x4

Yeah… a crap ton of them.

I begin drinking them one by one while snacking on other things and as I begin to think about the many wonders of this life.

And in one of such thoughts, the wonder of what was Quin's 'divinity' that I felt when I sensed her soul still is clouding my mind with questions.

There is no way… right?

It felt like the system in some way.

But… Nah, it cannot be.

It could not possibly be that the System Gods gave her soul or even made her soul entirely by combining pieces of their own!

Or is it?

I mean, her divinity was something I have never felt before, it was incredible.

It was like an all-encompassing power that felt incredibly similar to the System, especially when it gives you some kind of power, or when you gain experience and all.

It was that same type of sensation…

Is Quin… it could be, right?

I mean, the System Gods are crazy for some reason and perhaps they even built those spears especially for me.

So, through Quin, they might have been able to lend some of their actual powers to me…

Haah, but Quin is a little girl recently born, I do not want to force her to do anything for now.

I have become very soft…

Anyways, I finally finished drinking it all, it was a lot of EXP.

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[Kireina] gained 7.101.300.000.000.000 EXP!]

[Kireina] leveled up twice!]

[Level: 122/250] [EXP: 1.022.934.517.731.521/4.300.000.000.000.000] (Added!)

Sweet, two levels!

Ding!

[Kireina] acquired the [Experience Points Hoarder] Title!]

Huh?!

[Experience Points Hoarder]

A Title that only those who had hoard enormous, almost ridiculous amounts of Experience Points can get.

Such feat is impossible as most of the time the number of required Experience Points to reach max level in all evolutions (in demi-humans and monsters) or in all levels up to 999 (in all humans) is less than the Experience Points required for this Title to be acquired.

This Title greatly enhances EXP gained from all sources, and through many means by 100%, while also lowering the number of Experience Points required to level up each level by 50%.

Ding!

[Level: 122/250] [EXP: 1.022.934.517.731.521/4.300.000.000.000.000 > /2.150.000.000.000.000]

What?!

My Experience Points required to level up just halved! In front of my very eyes!

This Title… it's insane!

But it seems to be one of those 'impossible' titles that I somehow completed, most likely because of my ridiculous amount of Experience Points needed to max my level, which keeps increasing with each level.

This bonus is amazing, it might greatly offset my required amount of EXP while also enhancing my EXP gained by 100%, meaning that I can level up incredibly quickly now! Isn't it?!

Well, I am currently constantly killing dungeon bosses and other monsters with my True Body Clones inside of my Dungeons, so I get EXP passively, which often shows up at the beginning of the day, being added into the EXP gained through worship.

This probably means that my gained EXP will skyrocket a lot tomorrow…

Amazing, just what I needed.

Finally…

But still, I believe that it might still take me some time to level up to max… but it is approaching faster and faster…

Now I glance at the equipment I want to devour…

Hm, there is a lot to choose from…

But there are also the puppy eyes of those that want some of it, specially Nefertiti.

Although most of my family were enjoying the day atop the castle while having some barbeque, Nefertiti was deeply watching my golden staff, the one I just acquired from the reward chests.

"Nefertiti, I can clearly feel your gaze…" I said.

"Ah! Kireina-sama… I-It's nothing, nothing at all!" she said, of course, she's lying.

"You can't lie to me, remember? We made a pact back then… do you want this stuff?" I asked.

"Y-Yes…" she muttered as if she had to admit an incredibly deep secret.

"Why though? Didn't you get a treasure chest of this boss as well?" I asked her with a more casual tone, calming down her nervousness.

"Well… Yes, I did! It is this beautiful bracelet with golden snake decorations!" said Nefertiti.

"It does really fit your beauty and aesthetic… and it seems to enhance your magic- So why do you even want this staff then?!" I asked her in a bit of disbelief.

"It's because I lack a staff! I am supposed to be a mage, but I don't have one fitting of my appearance and the rest of my equipment set…" said Nefertiti.

I sighed as I glanced at her.

"Fine, here you have. Consider it a gift of my part because you have behaved quite well with Nixephine recently, keep like that. Although your rivalry is good to foment your growth, if you two take it too seriously, it might end in something more concerning…" I said, giving the staff to Nefertiti.

"Oh… that. Well, we are getting along a bit better… to say the least," said Nefertiti.

"That is a good thing! You're a good girl, good girl~" I said, as I petted Nefertiti's fluffy black hair.

She released a flush as she began to wave her tail around as an actual god would do.

After having spent some fluffy time with her, I finally jumped into the delightful snacks.

The items I began to devour were as follows:

[Freezing Tundra Soul Exoskeleton Armor of the Crystal Crab Tyrant Emperor (Legendary)] x1

[Great Lightning Pickaxe of the Mole Tyrant Emperor (Legendary)] x1

[Feathered Emerald Wind Graves of Resplendent Soul of the Amphithere Tyrant (Legendary)] x1

[Giant Blazing Soul Claws of Infernal Destruction of the Drake Wolf Tyrant Overlord (Legendary)] x1

[Heavenly Golden-Winged Robes of the Tyrannic Wyrm Dragon Overlord (Legendary)] x1

[Heaven-Piercing Draconic Lightning Axe of Annihilating Thunderstorms (Phantasmal)] x1

[Monstrous Giant Blade of Zapping Electric Lightning Storms of the Dragonoid Tyrant (Phantasmal)] x1

All of them tasted bitter and horribly, to be honest.

They were also incredibly hard to bite and eat, even for someone such as myself.

So I had to slowly crack them into my own mouth, slowly pulverizing them into dust and gulping them down one by one.

This process was extremely slow, and there was no going around it to make it easier, if I just gulped them all into a giant mouth, the weapons would simply get stuck inside my stomach.

I needed to bite and taste them to acquire their powers, and carefully digest them as they were pulverized and broken down.

Because of such a task, it took me several hours… the day was already night when I had finished eating the last item, and I quickly drank some fine wine to get the taste off my mouth.

Haaahhh…

Hm?!

Oooh! Here it comes!

The power that these weapons give when you eat them…

It is exhilarating… it is as if I were eating Gods…

[Kireina] gained 4.550.000.000.000.000 EXP!]

[Kireina] leveled up twice!]

[Level: 124/250] [EXP: 872.934.517.731.521/3.000.000.000.000.000]

[Kireina] gained +6.500 Class Skill Points and Subclass Skill Points!]

[Kireina] gained +20.000 Dungeon Points!]

[Kireina] gained +5.500 Soul Stats, +2.000 HP, +2.500 MP, +2.500 Strength, +2.300 Defense, +2.000 Magic, +2.100 Resistance, +2.800 Speed, +100 Luck and +3.500 Charisma!]

I gained EXP?! Were these things alive? I do not remember getting it before… Could something within me have changed to give me the possibility of earning Experience Points from eating these weapons?

Maybe the Experience Points Hoarder effect…?

It could be a possibility because I cannot think of anything else that might have given me the chance to gain Experience Points like this.

Ah, my Primordial Essence also increased a bit, just as if I had eaten Gods…

And yeah, Skill Points, Dungeon Points, and Stats all around!

An excellent meal if I say so myself.

My stats are getting quite ridiculous now… Is there even a cap in stats?

I guess no…

Ah, but there were stats within the dungeon bosses that were more ridiculous, so I guess it is fine for me.

Even when I can raise them even more after activating several Skills.

Ding!

…And an enormous amount of new Skills! All of them had increased my power even further.

There are some that sound very simplistic, such as 'Divine Slash', such Skills enhance that certain activities and give them a 'divine power' to it, so now my slashes are 'divine' in some way, making them stronger than before through this added effect.

And there are also… many new Skills that convert my own body parts into Divine Materials. Which is perfect to get good quality materials for the creation of more advanced equipment, such as the transformation equipment and the powerful mech bodysuits.

To resume it, each of these skills came into play, and various of them were simply passive skills, enhancing all of my capabilities even further, so there was nothing that would be left abandoned in this regard.

After having felt as if I had become a greater existence for a small amount of time, I joined with my family for dinner, where there was a lot of grilled meat.

Brontes, Nesiphae, and Oga were grilling a lot of meat today, so we had a barbecue for the entire day, and now for dinner, there is again barbecue… not like I am complaining, it is tasty.

Oh right, Quin woke up just a few minutes ago, and I began to give her more milk as I ate dinner with everyone else, she seemed oddly happy as always.

Ding!
