Epic of Caterpillar-Chapter 1802: Overprotective Cosmic Deities
.

Although he frightened me a little at first, I quickly realized this old man was all bark and no bite. He was only a universal ruler. Yeah, that's like as strong as the Primordials of my world, but he's trying to exert his overs on another Universe altogether. That's not going to work at all, bud.
He'll have to come all the way here from his Universe, a trip that he's not going to take at all. Why though? Well… the Overseers are right there after Frank's incident, they're probably going to plunder the old man if he shows up in there carelessly.
And well, I've already made myself some powerful Cosmic Allies already…
FLASH!
Suddenly, the stars aligned as his eyes began to slowly dissipate, as two larger stars, a black one and a green one emerged, shooing his presence away.
Ding!
[The Cosmic Throne [Primordial Spirit Tree of Yggdrasil] glances at this lesser being with eyes filled with disgust.]
[She threatens him to leave her daughters' caretaker and personal gardener alone.]
[The Cosmic Entity [Null, Primordial Dragon of Death and Void] says that he's hungry, and this lesser being might be a fine aperitive.]
[The Universal Ruler [Primordial Summoner of the Maxima Throne] is flabbergasted by the overwhelming big difference in strength between him and your patrons!]
[He swiftly retreats, afraid of provoking these powerful Cosmic Deities even further!]
[However, he says that he won't give up on trying to end you for good!]
[He also promises to take back Bubu and Colora, as they're his rightful possessions.]
[The Cosmic Throne [Primordial Spirit Tree of Yggdrasil] finds amusing how much [Primordial Summoner of the Maxima Throne] is tired of living.]
[The Cosmic Entity [Null, Primordial Dragon of Death and Void] promises to feast on [Primordial Summoner of the Maxima Throne] soul!]
[The Universal Ruler [Primordial Summoner of the Maxima Throne] is too afraid to talk anymore, and fully retreats!]
"Yeah, yeah, go away old man, nobody likes you."
Like that, I was allowed to finally rest and resume what I was going to do with Colora, which was evolving her. Colora seemed to not have realized he had been watching us for a while, which is good. It is better to not awaken old bad memories on the girl.
Ding!
[You've intimidated a Lesser Cosmic Entity!]
[You earned +10000 Cosmic Reputation!]
[Cosmic Reputation: A hidden stat that affects how other Cosmic Entities interact with you. The higher, the better your charisma but the more you'll attract. If too low, nobody might be attracted to your presence.]
Oh? This is new… Huh, probably goes together with the new Title from before.
So anyways, I didn't had time to waste, I took out the materials and began reinforcing Colora without further ado.
I used [Synthesis] and [Mixing] together with the many materials I had gathered. This time I decided to utilize Yggdra's branches, which were of very high quality, her Fruits, Sap, Flowers, and even the Magic Weed that grew around her roots.
Lastly, I also picked the obvious divine color plants which Colora could grow easily using her Divine Color Seeds Skill and other related skills, and lastly, some brand-new loot I got thanks to Frank's System Trait, which granted us a reward after defeating the dungeon boss because he added us to his Party.
These items were the [Divine Gold Coins (A Grade)] x200, [Fiery Red Ruby (B Grade)] x3, [Thunderous Topaz (B Grade)] x3, [Blue Ocean Sapphire (B Grade)] x3. Divine Gold Coins could be used as Quality enhancement materials, so I put only 10, and only a single jewel for each of the others. I was planning on using the rest to enchant Aquamarine, Shadrach, and everyone else.
As I added the new materials, I used [Extract] to extract all of the useful essence from the materials with the highest efficiency, and then used two new techniques I learned after Alchemy Arts reached Level 3!
"[Elemental Merge]! [Quality Enhancement]!"
FLASH! FLAAAAASH!
With that alone, the elemental essence fully merged together at the same time as Colora's quality was fully enhanced. Thanks to this, she was able to completely absorb all the materials essence.
"And done!"
She looked pristine, overflowing with power, but we were not done yet. Once I am done with infusing elemental power and essence and quality into an Ego through Alchemy, then I use Smithing to reforge their bodies and make them fully merge with this absorbed essence.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
"Almost done with this now Colora!"
I used [Smelting] and [Forging] to add some metals I had extracted from my various areas I had explored, including the dungeon, which had tons of Mithril and Aquarinium, a blue colored metal rich in Mana and divine essence. Then used [Metallurgy] for a better merge, and lastly the new Level 3 techniques, [Reinforce] and [Imbue Element] to make everything come together, successfully managing to help Colora absorb the jewels elements fully.
"Ahhh… That felt relaxing." Colora sighed in relief, she was shining like a rainbow.
Ding!
[Colora] is overflowing with quality, essence, and power!]
[By evolving, higher bonuses will be granted, and even new Skills!]
"Perfect, let's get to it then!"
I quickly checked Colora's evolution options.
Ding!
[Showcasing Available Evolution Options…]
[Primordial Rainbow Canvas Spirit Dryad Fairy Knightess (Divine Species)]
[Rank]: [B+]
A Higher-Ranking variant of the Primordial Rainbow Canvas Spirit Dryad Fairy who has been assigned a primary job by their Queen. Knightesses are the strongest in terms of physical damage and defense, coupled with great mobility and agility. They're masters of physical attacks, being able to shape the colors they manipulate into deadly weapons imbued with various elements. Perfect all-rounders that can cover any position within a team.
[Primordial Rainbow Canvas Spirit Dryad Fairy Witch (Divine Species)]
[Rank]: [B+]
A Higher-Ranking variant of the Primordial Rainbow Canvas Spirit Dryad Fairy who has been assigned a primary job by their Queen. Witches are mischievous magic wielders that utilize Area-of-Effect magic the most. Bringing down combinations of various elements to devastate their foes with explosive attacks that can damage anything within their range. They also have the power to drain colors from foes and reinforce their own color magic, while having access to higher tiered and destructive color magic. Good offensive glass cannons but cannot fend by themselves without proper frontline support.
[Primordial Rainbow Canvas Spirit Dryad Fairy Priest (Divine Species)]
[Rank]: [B+]
A Higher-Ranking variant of the Primordial Rainbow Canvas Spirit Dryad Fairy who has been assigned a primary job by their Queen. Compassionate Supporters and Healers that utilize faint and calming colors to conjure healing and buffing magic to allies. Indispensable in most teams, they keep everything together with their wonderful healing capabilities and buffs, which combine with their soft colors to clear the mind and enhance morale in the middle of battle. Very weak by themselves and lacking most offensive spells, they require protection in battle.
Well, well, these are certainly quite the volution options… So she can either become a Knightess, a Witch, or a Priest! Huh… What do we need the most in our current party? It would be good if she could fill in the gaps, perhaps.
