Epic Of Caterpillar

Several servants swiftly moved around as they immediately responded to Mammon's words, flashing around. There was a dozen of different demons all over the manor maintaining everything for their young and adorable lord, they quickly heard his orders as dozens of demons quickly flew to the kitchen to bring an assortment of all sorts of snacks.

The kids quickly began to eat cookies, sweets, ice cream, and more. I never thought I would see such things in Hell, but I guess there's everything around here. Even Ice Cream….

"Now, Kireina-chan, let's adress our things. First of all, let's go back to the previous topic before you got your compensation…." Said Mammon.

"That you're a cutie?" I asked.

"Kyaaa~ R-Really?" he asked.

"Yes you are~" I said.

"Wait! No! That's not it, idiot! I mean, Kireina-chan… The topic at hand is the Summoning Dao!" he asked.

"What about it? I already told you I got a fragment, not the whole thing." I said.

"I know! I heard you the first time. But you got a game-braking cheat and can multiply indefinitely, right? Well, that's the thing, it is insane, usually a fragment by itself is extremely rare yet you can multiply them indefinitely… we cannot let that be known by anyone else than the people here! Your power can literally bring armies after armies of Maxima Summons, which could even conquer entire Galaxies if they're raised strong enough… I've never seen someone be capable of abusing this power so much like you can, Kireina. And this is why I am telling you that you need to be careful out there! You're already redefying the meta…" sighed Mammon.

"I see… Oh well, I cannot really do that for now, I must show off my might as much as possible, especially because some skellies are coming for me soon." I said.

"I know… But you understand the volume of your powers? With such amazing might… you're… you could do anything…" sighed Mammon.

"Is the Dao of Summoning that great? And why is there such a big difference between this Dao and other more conventional ones? None of them have such an specific function as this one…" I said.

"Well, want to know more about the Dao of Summoning? It is a custom-made Dao that is not just a whole concept but the concept of the Maxima Universe after all, it was made by the Hegemony of that Universe, and it carries the power to easily summon random and powerful beings from that Universe. It is a weapon in a way, a weapon he made to pass down on his children and descendants, it was a special Dao that no ordinary people, nor a former caterpillar like you, should had gotten their claws on! But there's always a problem with Daos, these stupid people don't get it. When you make a Dao, the Dao is not your personal thing anymore. Anyone that gathers enough proficiency will somehow manage to acquire a tiny fragment of it, and through the fragment, the whole Dao can be born…" said Mammon.

Apparently, Mammon is saying that this Dao of Summoning was originally made by the Hegemony of the Maxima Universe for the purpose of bringing strength to his descendants by facilitating the way of acquiring Maxima Summons…

But at the end, Mammon was right, at the end people can acquire the Dao of anything if they got enough proficiency, Summoners ended awakening it, even if a tiny fragment, even in our Genesis, Ova was the pioneer, which I stole from her… Well, I gave it back so don't blame me now!

And well, the thing is, his precious little weapon and treasure, the Dao of Summoning, ended becoming a widespread overpowered Dao that even with a single fragment it can do a lot…

I guess it could be said that my own Daos are the same, anyone across the Multiverse could one day acquire one of such Daos if they acquire the amazing power of Defiance, or Path Jewels, somehow… Although Path Jewels seem near impossible due to its special effects and how specific it is, so I hope it cannot be easily given away.

But about the rest? They could perfectly copy them easily! This also makes me infuriated, but when I got into the Dao Business, I should had expected such an outcome to happen. Although it had yet to happen for real.

And well, this also explains the Dao of Summoning and how overpowered and weirdly specific it is, but I think I can modify it and use its powers and Dao Essence to one day my own overpowered and personal Summons. I am becoming a Summoner!

How unoriginal…

"Kireina-chan, are you even listening to me?!" asked Mammon.

"Yes, I am listening to your beautiful voice, oh lord of greed." I said.

"H-Hmph! Praising me all the time won't get you in my good side… T-Though keep doing it." he said. He was rather cute…

"Anyways, is that all you had to tell me? I appreciate the information…" I said.

"Stop! Not yet… The Hegemony of the Maxima Summon, the powerful old man that made this Dao, is actually pretty furious that people began using it, and he's trying to exterminate anyone using his powers without his permission… So you better watch out for possible invaders…" said Mammon.

"As long as I got you at my side, I will be invisible." I said.

"T-That's not really the truth! But… I guess you could say that… in a way, as long as we are in hell. Well, not like I will protect you all the time! You still gotta do your own stuff." Said Mammon.

"Ugh, what a pain… Just protect me and help me defeat everyone, what's wrong with that?" I sighed.

"Eeeeh? You're getting way too cocky now! Slice of life lover, you really don't like moving now, don't you?" he asked.

"I would rather slack off in bed…" I sighed.

"Calm down, you're showing off your true self already!" he said.
