Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 565 - [Fated Encounters: Nyzzetʼs Labyrinth Conquest] 27/?: The Legendary Neet Skill

Glancing at Nephianaʼs status I realized that she had gained a lot of stats and just like Adelle, reached the Rank 13 of the Mortal Realm, and perhaps were about to reach Rank 14 soon enough as they leveled up more or changed a few more Classes.

I wonder if I could make my wives worshiped as well, although they are not gods, they gained what could be called a lesser pseudo demi divinity after drinking the Elixir I acquired in the Empire System Tasks… It should be enough to begin gaining something from worship and faith, right?

Although I think they have been worshiped and prayed upon already, this could also explain why they have a lot of Class Changes despite not having been leveling as much for the past months (Adelle and Nephiana), as they were resting while taking care of the gestation of our children in that time.

”I wonder if you girls get any Skill Points passively each day?” I asked my wives.

”Skill Points? I get a few each day, yeah” said Adelle.

”I do as well! I got one hundred and twenty today!” said Nephiana.

”Hey, I get as well, guu!” said Rimuru.

My children also nodded, saying that each one got from one hundred to two hundred per day, in varying numbers each day… some of my wives were still sleeping but as they woke up, they also acquired Skill Points.

This has been happening to them since they drank those Elixirs, and it will most likely develop into more as they progress. This is quite good, to be honest, everyone can quickly change Classes in this way.

After inspecting Nephianaʼs status a second time, I discovered the blessing of a strange new god that appeared in her skill list… and a skill simply named ʼNeetʼ.

I decided to see this skill with Appraisal before asking if Nephiana knew this god…

[Neet: Level 2/10

A Skill acquired by a person who had shown that being a Neet can become a Class.

This Skill enhances the userʼs capabilities while lazing around and doing nothing productive.

----------------------

Well… this… I better not point it out if I donʼt want Nephiana to get angry.

”Huitzilopochtli, The Sacred Bird God of Victorious Wars? What kind of god is this? Wait, is this god… Aztec? The sound of the name and all…”

”Aztec? Huitziiilooopopoch… Bah, the name is hard to pronounce!” said Nephiana.

”Wait, was that the giant and annoying bird that was screaming at you in your dreams, Nephiana?” asked Adelle.

”I donʼt know, it was a very colorful bird and enormous, like over two hundred meters! The wings extended for way longer as well… was that a god this whole time? Why couldnʼt it talk in normal language? Being a harpy doesnʼt mean that I speak bird!” said Nephiana.

”I donʼt know, but it must have been prophetic… Maybe we should ask the gods about this,” I said.

I called Agatheina quite early this morning, but she responded without any delay.

”Huitzilopochtli, The Sacred Bird God of Victorious Wars? Why yes… I know about that god, Kireina-sama… but that god is not from the Realm of Vida” said Agatheina.

”And from where is it? Weirdly, a god from another Realm bless me out of the sudden!” said Nephiana.

”Huitzilopochtli is a God from the large Pantheon of Gods in the Realm of Ruins and Jungles Aztlan… I do not know much about it, I just know the name and from where it is… did Nephiana-sama dreamed with this god? What did it say?” Asked Agatheina.

”Well, I think so, what could else be? I got the blessing after evolving and it is a Bird God, the bird was also a bird in the dream! Canʼt the god-talk instead of screaming at me though? I didnʼt understand anything it said, chupi!” said Nephiana.

”Screaming? Like… a bird?” asked Agatheina.

”Yeah! It was so annoying!” said Nephiana.

”Strange… gods would never act like animals, even in such a prophetic dream that somehow is connected with your evolution,” said Agatheina.

”Then why was it just screaming?” asked Nephiana.

”I think that something strange might be happening in Aztlan with that god… perhaps it was a desperate call for… help? But that would be quite selfish of the god, we are very busy in our own Realm… if he ever wants Kireina-samaʼs help, heʼll have to wait in the line” said Agatheina.

It seemed like this god was from a completely different Realm, and Agatheina thinks that it might be a call for help or assistance in exchange for the blessing he gave to Nephiana.

In a way, similarly to how I did it with Apollo, I should be able to try and contact this god through the blessing in Nephiana and my own blessing which is also in her soul.

But for now, I prefer not to think about different Realms and concentrate on my life, there is a rampant Demon Demigod in here so I cannot simply begin shifting my goals because of this random screaming bird.

Moving to more important things, Nixephine had just woke up from her slumber as she showcased to us her beautiful and slightly different body.

”Good morning… Hm? Why is everyone looking at me? Oh?!”

Nixephine quickly realized her own changes as she glanced at herself.

Thanks to her size-changing ability, she did not change much in size, but if she goes back to her ʼoriginalʼ size, she might realize that she increased a bit in size… or not, I still have not figured.

Nixephineʼs lower half was that of a scorpion, whose exoskeleton was made out of a bright gold material akin to adamantine or even stronger than that.

However, after her evolution, her lower half became bigger than her upper half, which before had a rather good balance between sizes, becoming as big as a thank, and perhaps even greater whenever she takes on her ʼoriginal sizeʼ.

She also gained another pair of long and slims scorpion pincers and another venomous tail, so she had two stingers now, which she was learning to use alongside Whip Techniques. Her scorpion pincers could be used with Unarmed Fighting Technique or even Mace Technique.

Her golden exoskeleton became sturdier than before, and it gained many decorations. Her upper half had six arms and her physique became sturdier and packed with slim and tightened muscles.

In her forehead, she had two pairs of smaller eyes to see better, and three pairs of horns, one at each side of her head and then another at the center, atop the two pairs of eyes in her forehead… her long black hair became even longer than before.

In the middle of her chocolate-skinned and glossy belly, she had the large tattoo of bright and shining sun, with a small landscape of dunes and sand below it.

”Me? Evolved? I thought I would never see this day… but I guess reaching max level does cause evolution to occur… how mysterious” said Nixephine with a mischievous laugh.

”Well, thatʼs obvious, you evolve when you reach max level!” said Adelle.

”Not all the time though… there were cases of people that reached max level and never evolved, Adelle. Certain conditions need to be fulfilled before each evolution” said Zehe, who had woken up just recently.

”Nonetheless, it was about time, Nixephine… have you ever evolved before?” I asked my wife.

”Evolved, well yeah, in the dungeon, in that time when the dungeon suddenly gained a lot of power, I ended up forcefully evolving… but I never thought I would evolve again due to having reached something near the peak of mortal hood… I guess not yet. When I was a Boss, I could not level up, and I barely remember anything of my previous life, but I do remember always being who I am, just growing bigger. In a way, I was in a weakened form in the Dungeon until I evolved there, but that only brought me back to my original form before becoming a Dungeon Boss… it could be said that I have finally evolved for real now,” said Nixephine, the atmosphere around her became mystical and dazzling, like she was truly an Empress… well, a lot of my wives are developing these types of powers, their entire existences are very unique, to say the least.

”I see… by any chance, did you have any strange dream?” I asked her.

”Strange… dream? Why yes… it was a very soothing dream. I remember that I was being caressed and taken care of in a large bed made out of golden sand by a giantess, she had the lower body of a scorpion as well but was enormous. It was very relaxing” said Nixephine.

”Really? Meanwhile, I had a giant bird screaming at me the whole dream!” said Nephiana.

”Fufufu, perhaps Nephiana attracts very crazy dreams” laughed Nixephine.

I decided to check her status and see what changed about her in more detail… I suspect that there might be a Godʼs blessing, that scorpion giantess she met… well, it could be a goddess.

Nixephine used to have a bit of a ridiculous stat line because she received the powerful boost of being a Dungeon Boss into her stats, which lowered when I freed her from that duty. However, after this evolution, her stats resembled a lot that time when she was a Dungeon Boss, if not a bit higher in certain areas.

Indeed, she has the blessing… and another that sounds similar to Nephianaʼs… these gods are trying to tell us something through this, or are they just interested and that is all? Well, I prefer the last option.

It seems that Nixephine had evolved into a new race, named Serqet, like the Scorpion Goddess of Egyptian Mythology, but I remember having confirmed that Egyptian gods should not exist in Genesis, or at least not their strange counterparts generated in this parallel world.

But from where did the name came from then?

Did my own knowledge influence her evolution…?
