Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 790 - Fight! Against Sins And Commandments! 2/2

.

.

.

I had already acquired Lust, Greed, Wrath, Pride, Envy, Chastity, and Charity.

I still needed to catch Sloth, Gluttony, Temperance, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, and Humility!

And I get to it straight away!

Flash!

Using all this new cursing strength, I immediately find one that I have wanted for a long time.

Honestly, this one Sin was always more befitting of me in the beginning, and I could not even understand why I did not get it until I realized that the actual Sin of Gluttony was still alive, somewhere else not in this Realm and that he was probably someone Isekaiʼd too.

But now that I can finally get one for myself, I am going to eat it!

Or it will eat me first?!

I grab it, and the Sin immediately begins to eat me!

Gluttony!

This is the damn Gluttony, the one whose powers I have yet the actual Sin I lack!

Now, you will be mine, bastard!

Agh, stop eating me, I am going to eat you first!

Although Gluttony has the insane trait of being able to eat whatever it wants and gain power from it, I also have the evolved trait from Gluttonyʼs Devour, Uroboros!

I begin devouring Gluttony from the outside and the inside, it cannot fight back against my memories, experiences, and desires!

I will eat you first, you bastard!

Gluttony struggles, but in the end, it gives in, and gets refined by my soul!

YES!

And… eh?!

Something… suddenly begins to happen, similarly to how Lust absorbed Lust and turned into Luxuria, or how Greed absorbed Greed and turned into Avaritia.

Gluttony gets absorbed by Uroboros, although Uroboros is only the awakened trait within my System Master Blessing!

So it was still like a Sin at the end?!

Flash!

W-Woah, something is happening now!

[Kireina] acquired the [Deadly Sin of Gluttony]!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Realm Menace: Gluttony] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Awakened Sin of Gluttony] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Sin of Gluttony Arts: Level 1] Skill!]

[Kireina]ʼs [Uroboros] has devoured and assimilated the [Deadly Sin of Gluttony]!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Chaotic Sin of Gula]!]

Oh, so something like this can really happen, I got the Chaotic Sin of Gula now!

With that, I got three of these new and even more powerful Sins!

Luxuria, Avaritia, and Gula!

However, thereʼs Sloth and the other Commandments left!

So I dart away towards my next target, and I notice that the Commandments left begin to regroup together and work against me!

What?

You are not allowed to do that!

I see Sloth slacking off at the distance, and go towards it while resisting the combined attacks of Five Heavenly Commandments.

Ugh, these bastards are really strong when working together!

And because I have consumed mostly Sins, I am quite vulnerable to their blows!

However, I manage to grab Sloth, who offers to struggle at all.

It really is just a sloth, huh?

I eat it right away, and it… just gets refined.

WHAT?

Come on Sloth, all of your siblings did everything they could to resist, and you just accept your fate?

Ding!

[Kireina] acquired the [Deadly Sin of Sloth]!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Realm Menace: Sloth] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Awakened Sin of Sloth] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Sin of Sloth Arts: Level 1] Skill!]

Truly a slothful Sin!

Now, how do I deal with these sparkling bastards?

I glare at the five commandments left, all of them are sparkling and brilliant spheres of white and yellow light, shining brightly within this darkness we are in.

I am going to eat them and get done with this.

However, they are all packed up together… how can I approach them without having to take their attacks directly?

Wait, I do not even need to worry about that anymore…

Gula!

Flash!

Suddenly, my entire Ethereal Body is covered in the Aura of Gula, and I infuse all other Sins and Commandments into it!

All the bastards begin to attack me, but I just eat their rays of light!

Although my soul begins to feel some damage, it is as if my own power was trying to destroy my soul!

However, I can do it as long as I get near them!

I catch Diligence by surprise, as I release a burst of power from all the sins and commandments I have, throwing the others away so they will not interrupt my digestion!

I catch Diligence and grab it with my greedy claws, putting it inside by gluttonous jaws!

I crush it with my wrathful fangs and suppress it with everything I have!

It resists a lot, but in the end, I refine it by showing it my undying diligence!

A new rush of power courses through my soul, Diligence is now mine!

Ding!

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment of Diligence]!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment: Diligence] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Awakened Commandment of Diligence] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment of Diligence Arts: Level 1] Skill!]

It is mine!

With this new power of diligence within me, I rush towards the other Commandments, more greedy, gluttonous, and diligent with my task than ever!

Every time I devoured and assimilated a sin, I felt like my mind was being warped by it!

It was a chaotic burst of emotions, which might make me go completely berserk!

However, every time I also devoured a Commandment, my mind cleaned, as if it canceled the sinʼs mind-warping power!

I just needed to devour these… last bastards and my mind can go… back to normal!

Hopefully!

With all of my soul into it, I resist the complete insanity inside of my head that all the sins clustered together cause to me, as I finally catch Temperance while it was trying to defend itself with a barrier!

I crushed the barrier and caught him, devouring him in one go!

I suppress him with all the powers and then show him my complete temperance!

Yes, have a good taste of it!

I have been enduring a lot of stuff through this entire life, donʼt tell me that I am not deserving of your power?

Temperance quickly gives in, being completely refined by me!

Yeah, that is what I thought!

Ding!

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment of Temperance]!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment: Temperance] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Awakened Commandment of Temperance] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment of Temperance Arts: Level 1] Skill!]

More, more power!

I have never felt this powerful before!

This is insane, even more than just when I ate so many Gods…

I am feeling like the powers I gained from the Origin Core Fragment are multiplying the power of all these Sins and Commandments I acquire… It feels as if I am surpassing my limits each time…

This exhilarating feeling of insane progression, just what is this?!

I need to quickly catch the rest of them! Now! All of them!

I have to get them… at all costs!

I leap furiously as I grab another that resists a lot, Patience!

Patience keeps struggling, firing its attacks towards me, it has enormous patience, to be expected!

But against me and Wrath, the opposite of Patience, I manage to break through its defenses and resiliency!

I munch it in one go, suppress it, and show it how patient I am!

I am not patient at all, I do a lot of things rushed and without waiting a bit!

But I do have my good share of patience, and alongside the complete suppression I am giving to it, Patience has no choice than to obey me and become mine!

Patience fuses with my soul completely, giving me all its power!

A new explosion of power surges from my body, I can barely keep myself sane anymore!

Although Wrath is finally suppressed, and its negative effects fade away thanks to Patience… enough for me to calm down and refine this power as mine!

Ding!

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment of Patience]!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment: Patience] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Awakened Commandment of Patience] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment of Patience Arts: Level 1] Skill!]

This is some insane powerup right here!

I am getting even stronger now… it feels almost overwhelming!

Already a single sin makes a mortal capable of rivaling a god if they grow strong enough, but what if someone strong like me absorbs every sin and most commandments?

The surge of power within me is of a completely different level!

It feels as if I am constantly breaking through constant barriers of progression!

Who would had thought that this could bring so much goddamn power!

I refine all these types of energies coming from each Deadly Sing and Heavenly Commandment, and compact them into my power, as I glance at my last two victims, Kindness, and Humility!

I rush towards them with everything I got, but Kindness unleashes a bright light, trying to suppress me instead?!

Then, Humility comes and attacks me with a powerful light ray, one after another, both Commandments fight desperately!

Come on, am I not worthy of your heavenly power?!

Do you think I am too sinful for you, stupid commandments?

Let me tell you that you are nothing but power for me!

I do not care what you are, I do not care what you were made for, you are mine now, my own power!

Stop resisting and be suppressed and refined!

I quickly combine all the energies from the Deadly Sins, and Heavenly Commandments I have consumed until now, and blasted them away!

I saw that Kindness became weakened, and like a hungry beast, I leaped over it!

Kindness tried to resist as much as it could, and Humility tried to save it by blasting me away while I was consuming it!

However, I did not care at all, I resisted Humilityʼs attacks and kept eating Kindness.

Using all of my power available, I finally managed to suppress it and slowly refine it!

I am truly quite a kind person, arenʼt I?

So just get refined already!

In a blast of white light, Kindness gives in and becomes my own power, Humility watches at this with shock, as I sense that despair takes hold of it!

Do not worry, I am going to eat you right after!

Ding!

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment of Kindness]!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment: Kindness] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Awakened Commandment of Kindness] Title!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Heavenly Commandment of Kindness Arts: Level 1] Skill!]

Ohoho! I am such a kind person, arenʼt I?

Now, I rushed towards Humility, as it was despairing, it was easy for me to grab it with my claws and munch it!

Humility cries without a voice, struggling and releasing bright lights everywhere.

I begin crushing it into pieces, now all sins and commandments at my side are fighting against Humility.

Humility is completely overwhelmed by all of this massive amount of power, and can only despair, as I slowly refine it against its will!

With the combined power of all Sins and all Commandments except for it, youʼre hopeless, bud!

Stop resisting already!

I pour in my internal kindness, the one I feel for all those beloved to me, but Humility seems to not care!

What?! I am incredibly kind, you bastard!

I decide to unleash a barrage of power towards it with everything I got, trying, and trying harder!

If this stupid commandment does not accept me, then I will force it!

Nnnghh…!

Just get refined already!

Do you want me to destroy you and rearrange you or something?!

No… He is giving in?!

Yeah guys, continue like that!

I cheer my sins and commandments as they all work together as a big team, suppressing Humility bit by bit!

Humility struggles release even more power…

Who would have thought that the strongest Commandment would be Humility from all things?!

Do not dare draw some plot armor power out of your ass, youʼre getting eaten, bastard!

Humility unleashes even more light, as all the sins and commandments suppress it and erode it to its very roots!

And then… there!

It finally gives in when its very last bit is refined by me, becoming my own and complete power!

Ding!

Just after I ate them… my entire body seemed… in peace?

Differently than eating them before, which made my soul almost explode, after eating these guys… I felt incredibly tranquil.

It was as if I had attained… some kind of balance.

Just what is this?

I feel so at ease now…

I feel like… I can do anything now.

I see.

I am… becoming something even greater.

My senses become sharper, my entire soul evolves.

I am becoming something greater indeed…

And then… I see it within me.

My own reflection of my existence.

What is this mystical feeling?
