Epic of Caterpillar

Now that I was done with my testing over the Dao Materialization Abilities' and their powers, I was left in the blue on what to do. But Andromeda reminded me that I was going to originally make new Path Jewels, sometimes I have many ideas for them, and other times they're all gone, and I just want to upgrade already existing ones, but now that both existing ones are upgraded to their max, it is time to move on and make a new Path Jewel.

The recent Path Jewel I upgraded was the Dao Master Path jewel, and it brought to me even better effects that I could had ever imagined, my Daos are even more enhanced than ever thanks to them, and whoever is guided through its Dao Guider ability can inherit a part of all its abilities to enhance their power and Dao Comprehension.

With this Path Jewel, I was mostly experimenting, the same than with the Path Jewel of Drain, which even gave birth to the Dao of Drain.

Now, I want something new, something else to make. I had thought and considering it plenty of times. I had two new Path Jewels that brought energy and the another that brought enhancement to Daos, so what else is next?

Hmm…

I had considered that I required to enhance my offense, now that I was a Supreme Goddess, even the Supreme God-level Path Jewels I have which upgraded themselves through he Dao of Path Jewels effect were not enough.

Why were they not enough? well, that's simple to explain. Apparently the power of Path Jewels become greater through specialization, which means not making them have many abilities but make them all be centric around one or two abilities, with all other effects only boosting these abilities or powers.

Due to that, I had created Path jewels that were more like all-rounders before, and they were clearly not enough now that I wanted specializations, the power of my old Abilities and Techniques had blossomed back on me in the fight against Agatha, though, and I had discovered that their power was greater than ever for some reason, something latent inside of me was making me instinctively wield and sue them better.

Maybe because I had created them waaaaay back then? It just takes me back a lot. but I don't think it is just nostalgia what made them stronger in that fight, right?

There should had been something else, another factor to it. asking Andromeda gave me no other answers, so I had to give up on that and concentrate into what to do now.

And due to this, I ended deciding to make one of my first compound abilities which I always used and spammed the most. And that I had recalled once more against Agatha…

My good ol' friend, Cursed Claw!

Cursed Claws ended becoming Arms of Demise, and then fused into the Fragments of the Abyssal Chaotic Demon, which then I made into a new Path Jewel, which might seem a bit outdated nowadays, but I believe I can bring forth once more as a completely new power than just boring body parts! I mean, I already use them always in battle, but at the point I am, shapeshifting is becoming less powerful due to the beings at my level of power being so strong despite them being smaller than me.

Well, shapeshifting is still my strongest asset so I should also embrace it, a Path Jewel of Shapeshifting or one centering around the Dao of Transformation, or the little fragment I possess might be a good starting point.

But for now, let's begin with a Classic, a new Path Jewel of my favorite Skill…

I began to quickly gather the energy and did the last little adjustments; I didn't wanted to screw this up. I also brought a pile of divine materials of chaos, darkness, and many dark-related elements fusing them together into the Path Jewel Galaxy, which began to spiral around as the center of it started to emanate a dark presence.

I wanted to make a new staple offensive technique for all situations, and I had so freaking many that I wanted something that could be my main, something that helped in every situation without confusing me and making me indecisive about what having to use… I had used the power of Essence of Demise the most, it was a powerful concept that merged many Dao Fragments and the power of Devouring, so I decided to add it while making Cursed Claw its vessel.

I decided to call it… Cursed Claws of Demise.

Simple and catchy!

FLASH!

A turbulent amount of Dao Essence suddenly leaked out of my Divine Realm into the Path Jewel Galaxy, which began to spin around rapidly as it refined the materials and divine points all into a new Path Jewel.

Dark streams of energy started to come out from it, flowing like deadly black rivers everywhere, the power of such a Path Jewel was going to be truly frightening to see, but I couldn't possibly wait anymore, I had to get and see it right now!

FLASH!

Another flash of black light emerged from it, turning the entire skies black as this chaotic darkness released powerful black lightning bolts everywhere the deadly lighting bolts continued to spread across the Path Jewel Galaxy as the center of it spiraled crazily, turning itself into black and red constantly.

SPARK! SPARK! ZAP!

The powerful spiraling vortex of chaotic energies continued to grow bigger as I felt the connection between this Path Jewel and the Dao Fragments that made up its effects grow stronger, and even more, the Daos that Bubu possessed, which were also part of enhancing this Essence of Demise, ended also mixing and leaking out their essence into it as Bubu felt this power and teleported near me while sharing my Space Magic.

"Buuuu?"

The adorable chaotic caterpillar sat down over my shoulder as it glanced at the wondrous sight before us, a passive spherical jewel of black and purple colors had really just emerged out of nowhere…
