Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 2396: Forging New Spiritual Hearts

As we talked with our new human friends, they wouldn't stop talking about technicalities and how they classify everything through hard science.

"According to previous analysis. Somehow this planet has been shielded from the outside universe through this thick layer of clouds, isolated from the stars and the cosmos." Eduard said.

"It has created a self-sustained terrarium of a world, even the laws of physics are greatly disturbed and altered through these alien energies," said Michaella. "Hah, so the one that captured our friends must be a vampire then... I can't believe beings of fantasy and fiction would be real."

They're such nerds.

"I had heard from expeditions to the farther parts of the Universe near the Andromeda Galaxy where people said there were vampire-like aliens," said Eduard. "But we couldn't really confirm if they truly were- Actually, real and simple vampires don't really exist, right? There might be vampire-like lifeforms, but at the end, they are still aliens."

"Damn I bet you're fun at the parties," said Nesiphae with a groan. "Vampires do exist! Or are you saying I'm not a Naga or a Lamia?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Yeah girl, go tell him.

"I-I didn't intend to sound racist... if the race indeed is named Vampires then I apologize," Eduard sighed, feeling a bit intimidated by my big snake wife.

"Anyways, we're trusting to you these secrets because we would want to forge a temporary alliance with your kind," said Michaela. "With all of you, if possible..."

"Alliance?"

So that's their goal at the end I guess, the same speech they gave to Palami and Raito.

They had indeed helped a lot, so I might as well trust them for now.

If they dare step out of their boundaries though...

I'll gladly slap them like flies and steal their technology, so it's a win-win for me to keep them close.

Hehe.

"Sure," I smiled, nodding. "Let's make an alliance, you've shown me your sincerity, you've revealed to me many secrets, and you've saved the life of my people. You deserve my trust."

"Thank you..." nodded Eduard. "Your name was Kireina, right?"

"Thank you so much," Michaella was grateful.

"Indeed!" I nodded. "That's my name! And you're Eduard and Michaella, right? Let's work together. I am actually looking for several of my friends and family members right now that scattered here by the same event that left you stranded. So we can work together to find them and at the same time, we move where your friends are."

"They're actually not that far away from here..." Eduard said. "But we'll help you as much as we can until we get there."

"So you'll go away once we save your friends?" Nesiphae wondered. "Do you even know how to go back home?"

"I-I... well, our equipment is archaic, so they're not equipped with dimensional warping features," sighed Eduard.

"They're cheap and old models after all," said Michaella. "So now, we wouldn't be able to do that... I suppose we'll be sticking with you until we can find a way back to Genesis."

"In fact, I think I could probably find a way very easily," I smiled. "I can manipulate space and dimensional membranes. I could probably pinpoint Genesis within the traces we've left behind and get there if we can get high enough into the skies. There's also those portals over there. You see them? Of course, without proper Cosmic Senses you won't be able to know where they lead. But I can guide you as well."

"We would be very thankful..." Eduard said.

"It's incredible what other beings can do... spatial manipulation as an innate ability?" Michaella wondered.

"Well, yes, that's how it is," I sighed. "Well, look, I didn't get all of this power out of nowhere... It took me tremendous amounts of effort. So it wasn't easy. Nonetheless, shall we get going? Come in, Wall can move surprisingly fast."

"Thank you!" the two quickly moved inside of Wall.

Once everything was finally ready, I quickly glanced at the system notifications I had been slightly ignoring for now.

Eliminating all these powerful Spiritual Titans ended giving a very generous amount of EXP and Loot.

Ding!

[You and your Party have slain almost a hundred [Corrupted Cosmic Spirit Titan of Fire and Frost (World Devourer Realm: Tier 2 ~ 5)]!

[You have gained a generous quantity of EXP!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[...]

[Your Level has increased from Level 182 to Level 195/400!]

[All your Stats have increased. You gained Bonus Stat Points and Skill Points.]

[The {Primordial Sin of Wrath} likes the mercilessness you've shown, though he asks for more

bloodshed.]

[You gained +10.000 Hell Points.]

[The {Primordial Sin of Gluttony} has activated, you have devoured the powers of the foes you've defeated!]

I ended getting 13 whole levels, from killing such small fry, it was pretty considerable. Despite their Ranks they were very strong because they were being composed of so many things combined together. Also Wrath seems impatient!

[The Body Fragments, Crystalized Soul Fragments, Divine Spiritual Energy, and more from the various [Corrupted Cosmic Spirit Titan of Fire and Frost (World Devourer Realm: Tier 2 ~

5)]!]

[You learned the Skill: [Corrupted Lesser Cosmic Spirit Authority: Frost Fire Elemental Titan:

Lv1]!]

[You learned the Skill: [Corrupted Frost Fire Spirit Beast Shapeshifting: Lv1]!]

[All your Stats have increased by +1.000.000!]

Two skills?! Isn't that too much? I feel like I should fuse more skills soon, I got plenty of new ingredients. These generic Skills don't sound all that too interesting, Frost and Fire as

Elements are subpar compared to Star, Chaos, and Space.

However, they can be really good "combination elements" such as imbuing frost and fire with

these stronger elements to make them even stronger.

Like Chaotic Flames, or Spatial Frost, Starlight Flames, Chaotic Ice, and so on. So maybe I

should definitely improve upon these core elements.

Yeah, I think I have accumulated enough Spiritual Energy with all of those monsters I ate...

FLUOSH!

Within my Cosmic Realm, an enormous sea of spiritual flames and frost gathered together,

beginning to be rapidly compressed into a single, heart-shaped crystal.

Using all the Frost and Fire Spirit Energies I gained by eating them...

I forged myself an eighth Spiritual Heart!
