Epic Of Caterpillar Chapter 503

The gods inspected my Dream World with great interest and even glanced at Hephaestus's Dream World.
"Impressive… Kireina created a whole universe in a dream… this is even greater than what Freyja can do already! Ufufufu~!" laughed Agatheina.
"Not to forget that she also stole one of her Dream Worlds as if nothing… I wonder if we could produce Divine Materials inside…" said Morpheus.
"I've already begun to import plants and monsters to the different planets inside the Dream World ad they seem to be getting used to the place rather fast… with so many planets, there is a lot to colonize and explore. I've also thought about creating a dungeon inside the Dream World" I said.
"A Dungeon inside a Dream World… is that even possible?" wondered Hodhyl.
"Well, Freyja has many dungeons inside her Dream Worlds, so it should be obvious that Kireina-sama can do the same, and even better!" said Agatheina.
The gods also tried to enter inside the Dream World, and it seemed that through their astral projections it was impossible.
"I've heard that Freyja can also enter her own Dream Worlds… can Kireina-sama do this?" asked Marnet.
"No, I cannot. Most likely because this Dream World is inside my own body. Freyja seems capable of creating Dream Worlds outside of her body, right? Then it should be possible for me to enter in them if I create one outside… or somehow move this one outside…" I said.
"Well… it is also impressive that your Dream World is so vast that it even created its own entity inside… just how is that even possible? Could this be considered one of Kireina-sama children?" asked Levana, referring to Bilili, who was shily extending its tentacle inside the Dream World to greet everyone.
"Bilililili" said Bilili.
"And Bilili's strength is not false nor an illusion, it is somehow a true divinity that was born within the laws of a Dream World… How mysterious and intriguing…" said Morpheus.
"This already goes beyond absurdity in many levels… but if Kireina-sama did it, I can somehow accept it," said Maeralya.
"Can Freyja… even create entities as strong as Bilili inside a Dream World?" asked Marnet.
"I don't think so… she has many children but… nothing like this, right?" asked Merveim, glancing at Bilili.
The gods calculated that Bilili's powers were generated through the laws of my Dream World, but because his Divinity is Dreams, he can transfer his powers through dreams and bypass the boundaries of worlds, being able to exert them through me. That we blessed each other seemed to strengthen this bond.
"Kireina-sama did you use Bilili's help to defeat Geggoron?" asked Agatheina.
"Yes, he helped me a lot. His divinity was good enough to help me break the boundaries of Geggoron's Divine Realm, so I was able to invade his world and attack him directly" I said.
"Hmm… sensing his divinity, I can estimate that Bilili's strength might be close to a Rank 1 Demigod… it is already stronger than a Living Deity by itself… but because any of his attacks dissipate outside of the Dream World, he can only use his powers by giving them to Kireina-sama… well, not like he minds," said Agatheina.

"Oh? You're very good at estimating things, Agatheina" I said.
"Kya~! Kireina-sama, I am glad to assist you in anything I can!" said Agatheina.
"Hmm… and what about the Lava Golem inside of Hephaestus Dream World?" asked Marnet.
"Oh? That one does not possess divinity… yet. But perhaps, if Kireina-sama let it be worshiped by the people of the different planets of her Dream World, it might become a god just like Bilili. It seems that in this Dream World, acquiring divinity is rather easy than in our world. Though, I doubt it would have any effect on us, even if every being in that Dream World worshiped us, we live in different laws of existence after all… it might also end up being dangerous… what if we end up being stuck inside the Dream World? It is better for that people to only worship those that live inside… and well, Kireina-sama, their creator, of course," said Agatheina.
"You're right, we better be cautious about this, we haven't experimented enough in this world after all… oh, and I also have to show you something else… my 'Fragmented Divine Realm'…" I said.
The Fragmented Divine Realm I acquired after I ate Geggoron, which transformed after having the effects of various fragments of divinity merged into my soul. It was a chaotic place filled with many biomes and creatures clashing against each other constantly.
I opened the portal leading to that as the first thing that greeted the sight of the god's astral projection was a giant, two hundred meters tall aberration in the shape of a long dragon covered in tentacles wrestling against a walking mountain with a single crimson eye that was firing red lasers…
"Just what are those things?!" shouted Levana.
"Those are… Divine Beasts?!" asked Marnet.
"They are already thriving in Kireina-sama Divine Realm… but these two are immensely strange, bizarre, and gigantic! And strong as well…" said Agatheina.
"Look at the background… just what is happening in there?" asked Morpheus.
The gods glanced at the scenery, the colorful clouds that rained acid, sword-shaped colorful jewels, dragon-shaped thunder and even a dark and slimy liquid, the countless and deformed volcanoes that released strange and toxic purple-colored lava, the large normal-looking forest covered with a green-colored poisonous mist and infested with strange chimeras of bizarre shapes and sizes, the large seas of blood and toxic liquids, and the new addition in giant spheres of light that floated over deserts, incinerating everything at sight.
"This doesn't look at all like a Divine Realm!" said Nyzzet, terrified.
"And those giant Divine Beasts…" said Levana.
"Is that mountain with an eye really a Divine Beast?!" asked Marnet.
���It seems like it is a… Chaos Attribute Divine Beast…" said Morpheus.
"Chaos Attribute?! I have never seen a Divine Beast with such an attribute! This is new!" said Merveim.
"And it is immensely large, it means that it carries a lot of materials on its entire body, imagine the fortune that it could be made if we were to sell the corpse in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop," said Hodhyl.

"Divine Realms are supposed to be harmonious with every attribute it has… even Demon Gods have Divine Realms that are not as chaotic as this… this is too much, everything is constantly being destroyed… but at the same time, is incredibly fascinating! It seems that Kireina-sama's large amount of fragmented divinities converged into this strange Divine Realm! It is even more surprising when it is put into account that she is not even considered a Goddess yet by the system… How will this look when she finally rises into a Living Deity?" wondered Agatheina.
"Is that so? Well, I can feel my connection with the Divine Realm through my soul… but it feels stagnant. Unless I devour a new divinity, it will probably not grow in size" I said.
"Well that's good, it would be strange if it kept constantly growing… and by the way, Kireina-sama, have you been able to produce Divine Energy?" asked Morpheus.
"No… I wanted to ask something regarding that. Although I get Divine Energy when I devour gods, it slowly becomes nourishment for my soul, and I cannot use it directly as you do. Although I now have the 'Divine Energy Vessel' Skill, it lets me store Divine Energy momentarily, but not save it permanently… I also remember gaining a lot of Skill Points when I ate Geggoron and then Apollo… is something related to it?" I asked.
As usual, Agatheina was the first one to answer my question with utmost enthusiasm.
"I see! It seems that you have acquired even greater and amazing skills for a mortal, Kireina-sama…! And about Skill Points and Divine Energy, it could be said that both of them are something similar… and all of them are related with the Soul" said Agatheina.
"The soul?"
"Yes, Divine Energy is the essential energy of the world… it is present in everything, even in mortals. However, in mortals, Divine Energy is present separated and weakened into Mana or Magic Energy, Ki or Life Energy, and Soul Energy. Only when a being is capable of ascending to godhood it finally becomes capable of using the true energy, Divine Energy! Ah, and the Stamina stat that everyone has is related to Life Energy or Ki, larger and taller beings often have a lot of Stamina stat, isn't it?" said Agatheina with a pleasant smile as she glared at my eyes with her own.
"Oh, and Undead, who lack Life Energy, are mostly composed of Mana and Soul Energy. This is why being an undead creates the feeling of 'being restless' or having 'infinite Stamina'. Though, Undead get tired and have to rest their mental fatigue, which is produced after overusing Mana and Soul Energy, which replaces their Life Energy… of course, Kireina-sama is an exception to this rule, you're an Undead who possess Life Energy… truly breaking the laws of everything known and told" said Agatheina.
"I have figured as much, but having it explained to me makes things clearer, Agatheina. And what about Spirit Energy?" I asked.
"Oh! Spirit Energy is something similar to the previous energies, it is condensed Magic, Life, and Soul Energy, but that has not been refined into Divine Energy. It could be said that spirits are the beings that are closer to gods… this is why they are so few as well, in the past, mortals exterminated many. And well… And well, in the Ragnarök, we hunted down many of the True Spirits, which were spirits as strong as gods created by the World's Will to maintain the attributes of Genesis" said Agatheina.
I already knew about True Spirits and how their descendants, mortal spirits similar to Nefertiti were hunted down by mortals because of their vast strength.
"Something to note is that Brontes, Nereid, and the other spirits are 'artificial spirits' created by the System when reincarnating mortal souls. I am not close to the System Master to know the exact reason why they are producing these artificial spirits, but through the history of the Realm of Vida, these artificial spirits were always summonable beings that heroes called upon to receive help through their adventures and tasks, and ultimately clashing against the Realm Menace of that respective age" said Agatheina.
Then, is Meiji, the one that summoned Brontes and the other spirits, a Hero? It is rather to imagine that of him, as he was just a monkey by that time. Now that he had evolved into a monkey beastmen, he resembles a human being more than anything, so it could be more believable.
Another theory could be that his father, the Monkey Emperor, had some kind of connection with the ancient spirits that live in the Grand Forest, descendants of the True Spirits. And this connection could be inherited through his bloodline to Meiji… and when Meiji grew in strength enough, he naturally was capable of calling upon spirits, although artificially made by the system, perhaps because the ancient spirits of the Grand Forest have perished or been sealed. It could be assumed that the System compensated for this lack of natural spirits by giving him a big group of artificial ones…
"Wait, Agatheina, right? I don't have any memory of living in any tribe made out of Spirits before, so I don't really care about them dying or whatever, but does it mean that if I am an ancient spirit that wasn't created by the system, I am a descendant of the True Spirit of Light?" asked Nefertiti, waving her tail.
"Oh? Nefertiti, is it? Yes, indeed you are… This might be dangerous, it is often rare for descendants of true spirits to even exist by now… if you were to somehow rise to godhood, you could be hunted down~" laughed Agatheina.
"Ueh?! Hunted down by gods?!"
"Don't worry, Nefertiti, I won't let that happen. Agatheina is just joking around" I said.
"O-Okay…" said Nefertiti, comforted by my words and my petting on her soft dog ears.
