Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 406 - New Species?

Having Oga and Acelina done, I began to ponder who to choose next, Ismena seemed too nervous after seeing me twice doing the evolutions, she didnʼt like the idea of having her entire body merged with materials and items, and even the innards and flesh of freshly killed monsters.

Well, I cannot blame her, anyone would find that horrifying and straight out of a horror film, but itʼs the best way to use the materials into the induced evolution.

If I were to just surround her with the desired materials, the evolution induction skill would not recognize the items as ʼpart of the subjectʼ and the evolution would most likely fail.

This is why I suppose the ʼForced Evolution Inductionʼ Skill has never been discovered until now. The requirements are pretty much to experiment with living subjects and merge their bodies with high-quality materials. Even if a wicked god with enough resources and subjects were to try this out, they wouldnʼt be able to obtain the Skill because it can only be acquired by mortals, to my understanding.

Just like the ʼDivinity Devouringʼ Skill, which powers are way different than the ʼDivinity Devouringʼ Technique used by the Gods. One is a System Skill acquirable by mortals, while the other is a technique that uses certain materials, enchantments, spells, and Divine Energy.

ʼDivinity Devouringʼ doesnʼt even need Divine Energy to work, it only asks for Mana Points and Stamina.

The same is for the ʼForced Evolution Inductionʼ Skill, it only asks for the two stats, without the need for the precious Divine Energy, even when its effects may be able to even surpass what most Gods are capable of.

As I pondered this, Charlotte moved towards the Magic Circle, her entire body completely naked.

”Kireina, please, use me as your subject! I cannot wait for the excitement! And donʼt use anesthesia, I want to inspect the change son my body by myself~!” she said, awakening her researcher spirit.

”C-Charlotte”

”To be honest, before this evolution, I was already planning on asking you for a similar ritual, so I could evolve into a half-monster or demi-human and obtain greater physical strength and magic capabilities, humans are too limited in my opinion! And if all of that were to fail, I was going to merge myself with magic technology sooner or later” she said.

”Magic technology… you mean like Redgaria? With the magic circuits and the cores inside of his body?”

”Yes… But now I wonder, could it be possible to use magic technology as materials for my next evolution?!” she asked.

”I mean, it could be… Well, now thanks to the effects of my titles, inducing evolution is already guaranteed to succeed, so there isnʼt much worry. But the magic technology may end up disintegrating and becoming magic energy though, so have it in mind” I said.

It seems that Charlotteʼs dream was to become a half mech or something. Though the image of half mechs from Earth was very horrifying, in Genesis where magic existed, their appearances shouldnʼt be so far from normal demi-humans, as magic technology is very different and at the same time very similar to Earthʼs magicless technology.

Charlotte opened her Item Box as she revealed magic circuits, magic cores made artificially with magic technology, several gadgets, and a few small magic guns and cannons.

”Do you want me to use these in you?” I asked for the last time.

”Yes! Let me be your subject! Perhaps I didnʼt feel as confident before, but now that I have the strong body of a Chaos Human, I am more secure about the success and the wonderful possibilities that await us” she shouted.

I couldnʼt help but be intrigued as well, and because these items could be used just as normal materials, I decided to agree.

By using Charlotteʼs guidance, I merged each material in her body, and then I began to add the ones I had planned to.

The muscles of Giant Shadow Bats, the innards of the Dark Demon Spawns, the Cores of Shadow and Dark Elementals, and so on.

Charlotte also had an affinity with the Light Attribute that she had developed after receiving the Hero Seed of Light that I could generate through a Skill. She had developed this attribute before the dark and shadow ones she obtained after becoming a Chaos Human, so I decided to add on a lot of Light Attribute Materials as well.

The last item was an elixir that I made her drink, it was named [Obscene Demoness Love Blood Elixir (Mythical+++)], it seemed to strengthen demons while increasing their charm effects and had an amazing affinity with Charlotte, her entire body suddenly exuded a powerful pressure.

Having all things done, I decided to activate the ʼForced Evolution Inductionʼ Skill coupled with the corresponding Chaos Attribute Spells.

Charlotte, who had only taken a bit of anesthesia to numb the pain, felt as her entire body began to finally merge with the materials. She couldnʼt help but release lustful moans of pleasure, as she felt the excitement of becoming a ʼsubjectʼ.

As Charlotteʼs new body was refined through the merge of the materials, a dark light emerged from her body, slowly dissipating and revealing her naked figure.

She hadnʼt changed much, her size was still the same, with the pale white skin and long black hair. However, she had several circuit-like tattoos around her thighs, back, and shoulders. Coupled with this, she had small cores around her body, one in her chest, her belly, left hand, and her back.

Her long and pointed tail remained almost unchanged, but gained similar circuit-like tattoos, the small bat-like wings she had at each side of her hips became larger and strengthened themselves.

In the middle of her forehead, Charlotte had a yellow jewel that shined brightly at each side of it there were two black horns.

”T-This… I feel as if Iʼve been reborn again, and these tattoos, they are really magic circuits!”

Charlotte touched her tattoos as she discovered something new in her body, she had discovered that several of the uses that the gadgets she was merged with had been inherited as skills, she was able to create magic holograms, had something similar to a GPS in her brain, and could even store things inside a different space similar to a freezer, although the Item Box could do that anyways.

She had also obtained a greater thought and processing speed, and her hands could be shapeshifted into magic cannons, she could also cover her body into a futuristic-like latex suit or generate a mecha-like armor. She had obtained the image of ʼmechasʼ from the Rin Sisters back then.

Her Mecha Armor was small and weak, but it seemed to have the potential to develop. She had finally reached somewhere in her investigation by merging herself with her items.

Her Mecha Armor was able to fly through the use of Magic Propulsion, generate magic cannons in its back, hands, and other areas, and could also use weapons with greater strength than Charlotteʼs original one.

I wondered what could happen if I were to consume a mecha and obtain a similar skill if I were to use it alongside my Armor Skill, Abyss Demon Transformations, and others…

”This is way more than I expected, did Charlotte became that ʼmechaʼ thing that she always dreamed of?” asked Acelina.

”I donʼt know, but she seems to have a similar ability than Kireina, she can summon armor and shape it,” said Oga.

”Uwah, that whole process was very frightening, do I have to go through all of that as well?!” said Ismena, she was hysteric over her evolution.

”Hm? Ismena, please relax for a little” said Acelina.

”But aunt…”

”Ismena, donʼt you want to ʼcatch upʼ with the rest? Well, if you are too frightened there is no helping it, we canʼt force you to evolve” I said.

”Ah, Kireina-sama! I… Well, I really want to!”

”Well, itʼs fine, I can administrate you anesthesia, so the process is done while youʼre sleeping, you wonʼt even feel any pain either”

”Really? Like Oga and aunt?”

(For those who donʼt remember, Acelina is the sister of Ismenaʼs mother, so itʼs her aunt)

”Yes, like those two”

Ismena shyly took out her clothes as she revealed her bright pink skin. Her petite body was flawless and smooth. She did not possess the most of ʼgiftsʼ like Acelinaʼs large chest or Ogaʼs beautiful muscles, as she had a medium-sized breast and small hips, she was still in her development even in her early twenties.

And perhaps becoming a Fairy-type Chaos Human did not help, as it made her seem even more young and dazzling, her body may be stuck like this unless she were to evolve and hope for a change…

Her case reminded me of a certain Ghoul Princess of one of Earthʼs Japanese Light Novels about Death Magic.

Ismenaʼs evolution into a Chaos Human brought to her bright, pink-colored skin, which had become smooth and exuded a fragrant flowery smell. She had bright semi-transparent butterfly wings that flapped around. She now had dark pink hair and pinkish eyes with rainbow tones. To top it all she had adorable, pointed ears.

The materials needed for her evolution had to do not only to her type of Chaos Human but to her new affinities.

Charlotteʼs main affinity was Light Attribute, and after evolving, she had gained affinity to the Illusion Attribute. Her special talent was the Grimoire that was always floating around her, given to her by her Epic Skill, this grimoire gave her the ability to store Monsters Attacks and Skills as ʼSpellsʼ, due to this she had accumulated a large array of ʼSpellsʼ but always has a hard time casting them as they need to be browsed through her book all the time, to overcome this, she had just begun to develop in other areas, like using her natural Magic affinities.

The combination of both Light and Illusion Attribute works wonderfully as they can increase the effects of mirages created, and by solidifying the light, the mirages become real and can be used for a variety of purposes.

Because I am the best at Illusion Attribute Magic and awakened it into Mirage Magic, I have been teaching her Illusion Spells when there is free time, these last days she had received plenty of my teachings.

To grant her a stronger evolution, Iʼve elected several materials, alongside Light, Illusion, Holy, and Life Attribute Materials from monsters.

Light, Holy and Life Attribute monsters were very hard to come by before conquering Morpheusʼs dungeon, so I have managed to farm thousands of materials from there, while Illusion Attribute materials could be easily harvested from my dungeon, there are new species of monsters constantly being discovered inside that possess Illusion Attribute Mana, so its easy to gather.

Other materials included Illusion Spirit Stones, which are very rare, Solidified Illusion Attribute Mana Jewels, Illusion Fabric, Illusion Mithril, my own Orbs, bones and wings, and lastly the [Jewels of the Bright Tears of the Fairy Queen Goddess (Legendary)] item, obtained through my last Reward Loot Box unboxing.

As everything was being added, Ismena was pleasantly sleeping, unaware that her body was being covered in countless materials. The last touch before activating the ʼForced Evolution Inductionʼ Skill and the corresponding Chaos Attribute Spells were my own Slime Clones, which were charged entirely of Mirage Attribute Mana, to the point that they had become completely pink colored, unlike the usual Slime Clones who are always crimson red.

Flash!

Ismenaʼs petite body absorbed the materials voraciously, as she shined in bright pink light, pink smoke rose from her body as well, creating countless mirages of Light and Illusion Attribute combined.

As the smoke dissipated and the light dimmed, her body became brighter pink, her wings grew large, now being around three times her body height, shining brightly while releasing fragrant flowery scents.

She gained two small, pink-colored butterfly antennas on her forehead, alongside a small amount of pink fur in her neck and wrists. Her dark pink hair became brighter as well, releasing sparkles of light. Small tattoo marks appeared in her left arms, while two pink orbs appeared in her body, one in her forehead and the other in her belly.

”Uwah! Ah…! I woke up…? Hm?! Kireina-sama, is it done?!”

Ismena hasnʼt gained any new height, neither her body seemed to become sexier sadly, but she gained, even more, adorableness, and her wings grew to a gargantuan size.

Her Grimoire suddenly appeared out of nowhere and shined brightly as well, its outer layer became bright pink, with yellow decorations and flower paintings, it had evolved with her.

”Even my grimoire… and I have antennas now?! But my body remained the same…”

”Ismena, your evolution seems to be a rare one, you should be prouder of yourself…” I said.

”Indeed, doesnʼt she look adorable?” asked Acelina.

”She does… Sheʼs dazzling” said Oga.

”And her magic pressure… it is very thick; her Mana capacity had probably skyrocketed” analyzed Charlotte.

And like this, the evolution sessions of today ended with a mildly saddened Ismena, but I made sure to comfort her so she wouldnʼt feel bad about her body. Even if it was ʼplainʼ for a woman who had reached adulthood a few years already, she was still beautiful.

The night had already fallen so I carried the girls towards the dining room, where I meet with the rest of my family, and we had another dinner with everyone. Everyone was rather excited over the girlʼs evolutions and they seemed to have caught up with some.

All of them jumped from Rank 8 straight to Rank 10, showing how much their powers had developed and evolved alongside their new bodies. Even their souls seemed to have strengthened as the four had their souls at Rank 4 and developed stronger Auras.

[The Levels of the [Etheric Lighting Fruit; Level 9], [Sweet Fruit Production; Level 7], and [Forced Evolution Induction; Level 2] Skills have increased!]
