Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 2357: Forging A Cosmic Psyche!



.

•

The first of the two hybrid skills was interesting, offering both offense, defense, and the ability to stop foes from approaching, apparently.

Then there was the second one...

[You have chosen the [Demonic Skill Fusion Ticket (SS+ Grade)] to combine the following Skills together: [Abyssal Holy Recessed Authority: Lord Of Golden Bones: Lv5] + [Abyssal Holy Recessed Authority: Lord Of Crystal Spiders: Lv3] + [Abyssal Holy Recessed Authority: Lord of Rotten Wood: Lv2]!]

[The Divine Fusion Skill: [Demonic Abyssal Recessed Authority Domain: Golden Bone Phantom Spider Goddess of the Decaying Void Forest: Lv1/30] has been created!]

This one was perhaps the strongest of all the Fusion Skills so far, a combination of three Recessed Authorities ended creating a big mess of a skill. Instead of having a Queen though, this one directly had "Goddess" into its name.

It didn't do the same as the Authority Aura, this was a Domain that twisted reality and captured a foe with me within a world resembling a black forest of giant trees made of void floating in the cosmos.

A giant Arachne-like monstrosity composed of chaotic phantasmal energies and golden bones emerged there, attacking, and tearing apart anything with her giant body or an endless army of billions of spiders.

The forest could also twist and transform, turning into giant wooden claws or maws to devour or tear foes apart. It did have a high cosmic energy cost though, but the effects were ridiculous.

And all of this was just the surface level effects...

Well, although they're awesome, I better not get too attached to these skills.

"Now that I have my six skills, it's time to begin!" I said happily. "Alright, let's start with Psyche Fusion, naturally! I want to strengthen my soul first."

As I did that, my very soul answered my command automatically, quickly engulfing my consciousness, as I found myself within a pitch-black world.

This was the interior of my own soul, as I moved around, I noticed endlessly twisting beings, forms, shapes, constantly changing and howling, screaming, groaning.

"Ah, my soul is sure a mess, I guess this is why a Psyche is necessary, huh?"

It was an endless world of darkness and flesh made out of the bodies of every monster or foe I've devoured, their souls were now mine, merged with it.

Although they were long dead, echoes of their suffering could still be heard across these endless corridors, fleshy caves that led everywhere and nowhere.

It was sure unique; this is my soul without a doubt!

However, if I keep it up like this, it'll eventually become too much, and I might permanently become a monstrosity with no way to turn back.

After all, once I let my own soul absorb my identity, it's game over... It's dangerous, so the cosmic soul awakening and the psyche refinement will stop that from ever happening.

Eventually, I reached the core of my soul, it wasn't the Origin Core, but the central area of it all. There, I saw an opening that led to a spiraling cosmic sphere.

"This is the place, that sphere of cosmic energy..." I muttered. "It must be where the ingredients are placed, right?"

I quickly summoned the Cosmic Treasures first.

"Three Cosmic Treasures."

One after another, they were placed.

The [Void Flower of Acacian Disfiguration], a powerful Cosmic Treasure that grew in the moon of my Star System Realm.

The [Star-Gazing Mountain of Antiquity], a giant crystalline mountain that was born in the Dungeon Continent recently, overflowing with crystallized cosmic energy.

And lastly, the [Fruit of the Cosmic Yggdrasil Child], a gift from Yggdrantia.

I placed all ingredients inside, the mountain's size was reduced in this space, as a cosmic treasure, its size could be compacted as long as I had refined it beforehand, an easy task.

[The Cosmic Soul Awakening Ritual has begun! To awaken your Cosmic Psyche, please place into the Cosmic Sphere all necessary Ingredients.]

[You have added the Cosmic Treasure Ingredients: [Void Flower of Acacian Disfiguration], [Star-Gazing Mountain of Antiquity], [Fruit of the Cosmic Yggdrasil Child] inside the Cosmic Sphere.]

"Now..."

I quickly chose the three skills next.

Like spheres of pure primordial power, they emerged out of thin air.

[You have added the Skill Ingredients: [Demonic Abyssal Recessed Authority Domain: Golden Bone Phantom Spider Goddess of the Decaying Void Forest: Lv1/30], [Golden Phantasmal Chaotic Thunderstorm Bone Claws of Blazing Calamity: Lv1/30], and [Divine Cosmic Stone Insectoid Queen Plasma Armor Creation: Lv1/30] inside the Cosmic Sphere.]

"Perfect, these will go well together."

Now, the Divine Authorities and Daos.

There was a lot of them to choose from...

{Available Divine Authorities}

[Deadly Sin: Gluttony] [Crimson Blood] [Primordial Chaos] [Destruction and Creation] [All Consumption] [Nova] [System] [Death] [Summon] [Umbral Chaos] [Necrotic Energy] [Creation] [Deadly Sin: Wrath] [Deadly Sin: Lust] [Primordial Seas] [Cycle Of Reincarnation] [Circle Of Mandala] [Mother Of Chaos] [Void Birth] [Vampiric Paths] [Transcendental Scarab

of the Sun]

{Available Daos}

[Fortune (Rank 4)] [Defiance (Rank 4)] [Demise (Rank 4)] [Summoning (Rank 6)] [Gates (Rank 3)] [Demonic Sins (Rank 4)] [Path Jewels (Rank 5)] [Totems (Rank 2)] [Primordial Gluttony (Rank 4)] [Swarms (Rank 3)] [Abyss (Rank 2)] [Dominion (Rank 2)] [Destruction (Rank 4)] [Phantom (Rank 2)] [Necromancy (Rank 3)] [Transformation (Rank 4)] [Nether (Rank 3)] [Creation (Rank 5)] [Primordial Seas (Rank 4)] [Lust (Rank 5)] [Reincarnation (Rank 5)] [Mandala (Rank 5)] [Maternity (Rank 5)] [Void (Rank 5)] [Birth (Rank 5)] [Vampiric Paths (Rank 2)] [Primordial Sin of Wrath (Rank 5)] [Radiant Sun of Balance (Rank 4)] [Umbral Sun of Chaos (Rank 4)] [Nature (Rank 3)] [Life (Rank 3)] [Beasts (Rank 3)]

I should probably choose the strongest Divine Authorities for my Soul anyways; it is the very pillar of my entire existence.

I'll pick those that protect more than attack though, the tougher my soul, the better.

As for my body, I'll decide that later.

As for Daos... There's a lot to chose from, but if its for the soul... Hmm.

I chose them one after another, three and three.

"There..."

Their spherical forms, overflowing with divine and cosmic powers, quickly flew into the

cosmic sphere, being absorbed by it.

FLAAASH!
