Epic Of Caterpillar

As I sat down on my throne while my wives were chatting and my children were playing around, I opened my Item Box and took out every reward item I acquired in the [Scripted Event] of both Moonfang and Sunclaw.

Aside from the many Relics and Reward Prizes, there were two Dungeon Cores… named World Dungeon Cores, of the 'Heavenly' Rank.

I have never acquired an item of such rank before, so I was quite curious. It seems to be a higher item Rank than Phantasmal.

I decided to contact Agatheina and asked her about the artifact she gave to me.

I tried asking Blaze before Agatheina, but she was completely clueless about everything, she was isolated since a young age after all, and did not know much about Item Ranks, Gods, and other things other than her siblings and father.

Agatheina chuckled mischievously as she yet another opportunity to showcase her vast knowledge with me.

"Of course, Kireina-sama. I shall tell you about Item Ranks!" she said.

"Did Item Ranks exist before the System?" I asked.

"Kind of, but not in the way they are classified now by the system. All items below Legendary Rank were known as 'Mortal Artifacts' and those above them starting from Legendary Rank were known as 'Immortal Artifacts'. Immortal Artifacts had similar classification than those of now, so I don't think there is any need to go in detail from the past when it is very similar to the present in that regard…" said Agatheina.

"I see… I guess things were not as different before in certain areas such as god-related items and abilities" I said.

"Indeed. Now for starters, the Items on the 'Mortal Artifact' classification are those of Normal, Rare, Unique, and Mythical Class, right? Those are classified as 'mortal equipment', things that mortals can create if they develop their abilities enough. Meanwhile, from Legendary and above, they are 'Immortal Artifacts' and can only be crafted by gods, those that possess any kind of divinity or divine energy. Those are Legendary, Phantasmal, Heavenly, Divine, and Transcendental! Each Rank has a subclassification depending on its quality and power. Legendary have Lesser and True, Phantasmal and Heavenly have Lesser, True and Awakened, Divine has Demi, True, Great and Supreme, and Transcendental, artifacts only wielded by Supreme Gods or Great Gods just below them seem to have the same subclassification as Divine, but I've heard that there are extra rarities involved, but these gods keep their powers in secret from the world and each other," said Agatheina.

"So that's how it is… then what could this World Dungeon Core be?" I asked.

"It is obviously of Heavenly Rank… but its subclassification should be at least of Lesser or True. After all, non-equipment or weapons do not awaken. But to be honest Kireina-sama, I have never seen a World Dungeon Core before, they seem to be made by Gods above my Rank, and cost a great amount of Divine Energy that I cannot easily afford… They are often created by many gods of the same pantheons, but World Dungeons are non-existent in this continent, and perhaps there are only a few in the Central Continents. In terms of power level, the Realm of Vida is exceptionally low compared to other greater Realms, where World Dungeons or Greater Labyrinths are common" said Agatheina.

"That's interesting… do you have any information about World Dungeons?" I asked.

"Hmm… From what I have gathered through trades and other things, World Dungeons are… well, in the literal sense of the word, entire Worlds that are a Dungeon, They're incredibly big and spacious, filled with many biomes and their own ecosystems and living beings… If we were to compare them to Morpheus's Dungeon, they would be at least twenty times as big. There are even small continents inside World Dungeons, and countries are created inside. World Dungeons are especially useful to inhabit Realms that are too hostile to mortals, creating entire worlds inside a dungeon to let them live inside… as long as the gods in charge of such dungeons and the mortals inside keep the number of monsters at a low amount, they are inhabitable worlds by themselves… however, to maintain themselves, they need large quantities of Divine Energy given by many gods, a perfect balance is needed to maintain them properly, so not all pantheons decided to create them…" said Agatheina as she recalled everything she knew.

"I see… then perhaps I shouldn't use them for now," I said.

"No, wait for a second, Kireina-sama. I think you should be able to, even without our help!" said Agatheina

"Hm? Why is it?" I asked.

"It is clear that Kireina-sama does not apply to all these rules. All the dungeons you own and maintain are unique and feed differently from ours. Your dungeons gather energy from the environment, something unique that only True Spirits were capable of doing… this is most likely because you have consumed the descendants of True Spirits and have absorbed their powers and abilities, isn't it right?" asked Agatheina.

"Oh, you're right… then perhaps I should try to put one… maybe inside of my Inner Realms"

"That would be an amazing feat if Kireina-sama were capable of doing so!" said Agatheina.

"Very well then, I will now open a few rewards I acquired through the Scripted Events," I said.

"Oh, can I stay?" asked Agatheina.

"Well, if you want to?"

I did not mind Agatheina, although she was only present through the artifact, I was already getting used to her.

I decided to gather certain items that I wanted to open first before the big ones.

The Boxes and Crates to open were as follows:

[Commemorative Reward Prize Loot Box (Random) (S)] x8

I decided to use the 'Open All' Function in the system as a holographic window appeared out of thin air.

[Open [Commemorative Reward Prize Loot Box (Random) (S)] x8?]

[>YES NO]

"Yes"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[Kireina] Received the following Items]

[Colossal EXP Elixir (5.000.000.000.000) (Phantasmal)] x2

[Divine Golden Radish of Mutation and Evolution (Phantasmal)] x3

[Condensed Life Attribute Divinity Fragment Heavenly Elixir (Phantasmal)] x1

[Necromancy Orb of a Million Despairing Souls (Phantasmal)] x1

[Divine Skill Upgrading Scroll (Phantasmal)] x1

"These items… they are all Phantasmal? Interesting…"

"Oh? All Phantasmal in eight S-Rank Loot Boxes? Kireina-sama, the fortune must have smiled upon you" said Agatheina.

"I even acquired a Life Attribute Divinity Heavenly Elixir, have you ever gotten something like this?" I asked Agatheina.

"…Eh? No? How can… how is that even possible? These items… But how? Kireina-sama, I've never seen any of such Reward Loot Boxes give such an incredible prize… even gods such as myself would benefit from it! Perhaps the System Gods have taken a liking on you and generate such prizes only for you? T-This is… unheard of, I cannot think of another thing…" muttered Agatheina.

"It had happened before… I got another Life Attribute Divinity Elixir and a Love Divinity Elixir before from similar prizes… do you really think that the Gods of the System are pampering me somehow? This is… well, I will not question their judgment" I said.

"Yes, it is better to not question it too much and embrace the good fortune of such things. We cannot speak with such Gods, to begin with, so it will always remain as a Mystery for now" said Agatheina.

There were some interesting items such as an Orb that contained a million souls, perfect for someone that needs to eat a lot such as myself. Two EXP Potions that would give me 10 trillion exp in total, and a scroll that can level up any skill I want, or if the skill is level 10, it can awaken it directly…

I decided to not use them for now as there were many other things to open first.

The next items to open were many, and were as follows:

[Legendary Relic of the Blazing Savage Tiger Emperor] x1

[Legendary Relic of the Shadow Panther Assassin of the Moonlight] x1

[Phantasmal Relic of the Golden Lion Hero King of Adamantine Claws] x1

[Phantasmal Relic of The Golden Beast Lion King] x1

[Grand Gray Wolf Beast King's Soul Destructive Ethereal Shadow Armor; Barion (Phantasmal)] x1

"So many items… but most of them will be good whenever I use Gungnir… I wonder if I am capable of eating any of them?" I wondered.

Since I acquired the ability to devour and digest gods, eating artifacts created by them or through Divine Materials and Divine Energy should be possible as well, shouldn't it?

"Eating them? Well, they are always more useful in allies, but if Kireina-sama thinks that she can increase her strength by eating them, it would be fascinating. I have never thought of a mortal consuming the artifacts" said Agatheina.

"Well, I will try to give some to my family, and then keep some that could be useful, if any of these remains, I will eat them," I said, as I glanced at the last rewards to open.

They were as follows:

[Phantasmal Moonfang Kingdom Relic] x1

[Moonfang Great War Spoils Gift (SSS)] x2

[Phantasmal Sunclaw Kingdom Relic] x1

[Sunclaw Great War Spoils Gift (SSS)] x2

They were spoils and 'Relics' of each Kingdom, usually, the Relics are the strongest equipment even compared to all the ones I've acquired, similarly to Athetosea.

The relic of Athetosea was a powerful Grimoire capable of registering an endless amount of information and connect it to the user as if it were a computer, which is on Mady's hands.

[Open [Phantasmal Moonfang Kingdom Relic] x1, [Moonfang Great War Spoils Gift (SSS)] x2, [Phantasmal Sunclaw Kingdom Relic] x1, and [Sunclaw Great War Spoils Gift (SSS)] x2?]

[>YES NO]

"Of course,"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[Kireina] Received the following Items]

[Prideful Golden Lion King Orb of Protection, Wishes, and Blessings (Phantasmal)] x1

[Condensed Light & Life Attribute Divinity Fragment Heavenly Elixir (Phantasmal)] x1

[Divine Blade of Judgement and Blessings of the Prideful Resplendent Hero King; Excalibur (Phantasmal)] x1 

[Resenting Gray Wolf King's Orb of Despair, Regrets and Curses (Phantasmal)] x1

[Condensed Dark & Shadow Attribute Divinity Fragment Heavenly Elixir (Phantasmal)] x1

[Accursed Chaotic Blade of Destruction and Nightmares of the Dark Demon King; Black Excalibur (Phantasmal)] x1

"Wait, what are these names? So odd… Are these really the Excalibur weapons from Earth…? And Black Excalibur?"
