Epic Of Caterpillar

I had acquired three new Abilities for my Realm Core. And I had checked two already, the first one allowed me to have a complete authority over the Demonic Towers I owned, while making the demon beasts I could make through them even stronger than before. Now they were probably stronger than the mass-produced summons I can make on my own now, way stronger.

And because I can edit them and create specialized demon beings, I can make special Units that can do special things! The possibilities are quite endless, hahaha! I've been always quite the summoner myself, so this is nice.

And now, there is the last Ability in the list, completing the trio there is the mysterious [Item Ego Creation Forgery (Unlocked)] Ability!

This Ability is what carries the entire Ego concept, which showed twice in the older upgraded Abilities.

It appears to be a completely new concept that we haven't seen before, created exclusively for a purpose, and I think that purpose is quite clear…

Making artifact and weapons stronger, any armor too, accessories, perhaps, all of that, this is what creating Egos is about!

…

But what the heck is an Ego?

Let's see the Ability and find out!

…Hopefully.

[Item Ego Creation Forgery (Unlocked)]

You have unlocked a brand-new power, Item Egos. By gathering insane quantities of Divine Points and Divine Materials, you're capable of creating a law-defying entity known as an Ego, a powerful being that can be infused into Items to create an Ego Item.

Ego Items have the power to grow independently and acquire powers by themselves, they can grow stronger through a variety of means, and constantly unlock new powers. Ego Items have consciousness of their own and can develop greater intelligence and independence than normal intelligent weapons. Sometimes if they don't like you, they might rebel, so make sure to treat them well.

One Ego can be created, with an additional one with every Rank.

The power and growth of Egos is enhanced by +200%.

This is it! Egos are… eh? Some sort of thing to allow an item to become sentient with a soul. But that's possible for a long time now, so there is nothing originally about this! I think the Wyvern Overlord is already an "Ego" then!

Nonetheless, these are special in that they can enhance items even further, so I guess I am still using them.

"Andromeda are these the ones that will enhance items?" I wondered.

"Yes! Those are. I found these things deep within the information of the system, they were a concept that was forgotten, so I revived it." said Andromeda.

"A concept that was forgotten? Interesting… Oh well, let's use them right away, so I can create three?" I wondered.

"Yes, you can create an extra one with each Rank after Rank 1." Said Andromeda.

"I see… Let's begin their creation then." I said.

I teleported inside of the forgery, as I looked into the interior, it resembled a large furnace where soul flames came out, it seemed to be overflowing with a phantasmal, divine power within it all. It was quite intriguing to see and live in.

After admiring the beauty of the place, I quickly walked towards the main area and decided to create what was the first of the many Egos I would make.

"How much do they cost?" I wondered.

"It depends how powerful you want them to be from the get-go… The limit should be within 50.000.000.000!" said Andromeda.

"That's way too expensive! Can they grow stronger even if I don't use that much?" I wondered.

"Yeah… The starting point will be just weaker," said Andromeda.

"Alright then, make the three of them, each for 20.000.000.000." I said.

"Understood!"

Andromeda quickly obeyed my words, as 60.000.000.000 Divine Points were used in an instant. I felt as if the amount I had emptied even more than before now, and I was kept with barely any points left… sad.

FLASH!

The furnace absorbed the points and then began to form three bubbles of energy, infusing their phantasmal power into it, the furnace began to create these entities, Egos.

After a bit of time, the three bubbles stopped glowing with phantasmal light, and became golden-colored, floating in midair and in silence. I don't know what else is next…

"What should I do now?" I wondered.

"Select a piece of equipment that you want to infuse an Ego into, and then name it… If the Ego accepts the name, then it will successfully fuse with the weapon." Said Andromeda.

"I see… Let's see…"

I took out one of my spears, the Chaos Spear named Khaos, it shone with a chaotic black aura of darkness, and seemed quite ready to be used as a vessel for an Ego.

I then held one of the blank Egos with my hand, and slowly moved it near the spear, infusing it into the spear. The spear began to flash with bright light, releasing a bright light that encompassed everything around wondrously.

FLAAAASH!

"Now, give it a name!" said Andromeda.

"A name…"

I guess I could call it just like the spear? I don't think it will mind it, right? Yeah, it won't. It might even like that name instead; it does sounds pretty cool.

"Khaos!"

FLASH!

The Ego and the Spear began to flow with bright light, as their power started to converge, the wondrous rivers of darkness and golden light entangled together and continued to merge.

It seems that it was a success, it accepted such a cool-sounding name right away.

FLASH!

However, suddenly, a large shock of electricity came out of the spear, as the Ego was suddenly ejected, or better said, it escaped by its own will, and continued floating in midair without moving an inch…

"What?" I asked in disbelief.

"I can't believe it… It failed… Kireina, give it a better-sounding name next time, something that it can actually like!" said Andromeda.

"What?! You're telling me that it didn't liked my amazing name? I can't believe it! This thing is really quite arrogant, huh?" I sighed.
