Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 817 - AI-chan Is Back!

After finding out about the Dungeon Shop being able to Rank Up, and also about the Divine Skill Points and Divine Dungeon Points needing to Rank Up as well to become ”better, and higher quality points”, I had to sadly do it, and reduce the max amount I had…

You see, the value of 1 Divine Skill Point of Rank 2, which is Demigoddess Rank is 10 Divine Skill Points of Living Deity Rank!

And the same goes for Goddess Rank Divine Skill Points!

Well, in simple terms, if I have 100 Divine Skill Points of Rank 1, to convert them to my fitting strength, which is Rank 3, I will need to divide them by 10 once, and then again by 10!

Yes, itʼs only 1!

So… All the millions of Divine Skill Points I had were actually Rank 1…

And to get to the juicy ones, I will have to Refine them to Rank 3.

I will leave this task to the Origin Core to do it automatically, and this same logic also applies to the Divine Dungeon Skill Points, by the way!

Ding!

[Do you desire to Refine 65.585.000 Living Deity (Rank 1) Divine Skill Points into 655.850 Goddess (Rank 3) Divine Skill Points?]

So low! They better have lower prices!

I am guessing that the higher your rank, the fewer Divine Skill Points you have because to fit your Rank they have to be very strong, so even if fewer, they have the accumulated energy of hundreds of Skill Points in only a single one!

Well, this is getting confusing, so whatever, do it!

Flash!

[Refining…]

[Refining successful]

[You have refined [65.585.000 Divine Skill Points (Rank 1)] into [655.850 Divine Skill Points (Rank 3)]!]

[You have refined [46.540.000 Divine Dungeon Points (Rank 1)] into [465.400 Divine Dungeon Points (Rank 3)]!]

And done… I guess.

Hm, now what should I do?

Wait, I realized something important.

Unlike other Gods, I can evolve, right?

Usually, Gods get to keep their single Divinity as they raise to godhood.

But I gain a new Divinity as I evolved, in fact, I have gotten three Divinities for free since I evolved and was raised to godhood!

I guess I can get one for each Realm, from Living Deity, which was the Divinity of Sins and Commandments, Demigoddess, which most likely was the Chaos one, and then Goddess which was the most current one I got.

All of that thanks to having eaten a Legendary Weapon that gave me the Divine Evolution Skill!

…Wait.

Now that everyone has Divinity Devouring in this world thanks to Zubekh (most likely)… wouldnʼt they get Divine Evolution as well?!

And doesnʼt that mean that they can power up even more than I expected?

And doesnʼt that also mean that they can eat Dungeons and get the Shop too?

Ugh…

All of my uniqueness is fading away… All because of this sole mistake of not realizing that this trio was still alive when I ate them…

Damn, I am such a fucking idiot.

I should really just punch myself to death!

…No, I better not.

Anyways, I might as well hurry up and get an even better shop than these bastards, time to Rank Up the Divine Dungeon Shop!

Ding!

[Do you wish to Rank Up the [Divine Dungeon Shop (Rank 1)] to [Divine Dungeon Shop (Rank 3)]?]

This means that I will be also ranking up to Rank 2 and then to 3, but it does everything automatically I guess.

I pressed the ʼYesʼ option as I saw a lot of Divine Dungeon Points fading away…

Ding!

[You exchanged 450.000 Divine Dungeon Points (Rank 3)!]

Agh! All of them?! Well, almost all of them, but still! This is unfair…

[Initializing Rank Up…]

Ding!

[System Function Upgraded]

[The Divine Dungeon Shop Ranked Up to (Rank 3)!]

[New Items have become available]

New items available, nice!

Wait, so no restock, only new items?!

I guess I cannot buy all those cheap Divinity Fragment Elixirs anymore…

I quickly check the Shop as I am startled by a humanoid, holographic figure.

It resembles a beautiful young girl… well, a robot girl.

It resembles Kiroid a bit, but this girl looks more like some mech version of Hatsune Miku!

Damn, she is so cute…

Eh, wait for a second…

[Hello, [Kireina]! Thanks for upgrading my System, thanks to your energy, I have managed to evolve!]

”Wait… Youʼre Ai-chan?!”

[That is right, [Kireina]-sama. My functions and synapsis have been upgraded thanks to Rank Up, and now I can talk more fluently and even interact with you through this special holographic avatar! Alongside that, I have acquired several new functions]

”I see… So you were the one that ate up all those Divine Dungeon Points, huh?” I asked Ai-chan, as I poked her head with my finger.

[I am sorry for that… But it was needed if you wanted to acquire items that were of any use for you at your current strength, alongside that, you can still buy the other items you have not run out of stock]

”Can the items be restocked?” I asked.

[Sadly, that is impossible]

”I see… So what are your new functions?” I asked.

[By the use of your power as a System Administrator, I can merge with the System more, and help you as an AI that can encompass several aspects o the System! Alongside that, I can work for you while you can be doing other things. Similarly to how your Origin Core works. In fact, I am capable of fusing my interface with it and help you even more]

”Hmm… I see. Are you not going to take over my Origin Core and then try to kill me or something, right?” I asked.

[Eh? Oh my, I would never do such a thing, [Kireina]-sama. My very existence is only for you, not even the System Gods have access to me. Even less the System Master.]

[However, they had indeed created me to serve you in their regard.]

[Also, I canʼt do such a thing, as I lack the power to do so, which is linked to yours.]

[…And even I such an impossible thing were to occur, you can also completely delete me from the System using your System Administrator Authority and generate a new AI more suitable for you]

Damn, I suppose she is really safe then?

She really thought about every possible scenario I would ask or have a doubt about regarding this topic, it seems that she is indeed made for me.

And just as she said, I am sure that I can even eat her if I want to…

But I guess I will immediately add her to my Origin Core, so she can do things for me with greater swiftness and thoughtfulness than the Origin Core alone, whose mind was nonexistent, and it was even lesser than an Artificial Intelligence like AI-chan.

”Very well then, enter my Origin Core and fuse with my current System Functions, I am putting you to work straight away,” I said.

AI-chan suddenly smiled happily, as she nodded, floating around me.

[Thank you very much for your trust, [Kireina]-sama. I will make sure to not disappoint you and help you as much as I possibly can. Please, rest assured]

She knows her way around words because I indeed feel more assured now…

Flash!

AI-chan floated towards my Origin Core, which was in front of me as I had Teleported to the room where its altar was.

The Origin Core began to shine brightly, as it started to show many numbers and letters inside… and then!

Ding!

[Binding successfully]

[Generating new Functions…]

[Complete]

[Itʼs done, [Kireina]-sama. Now, what do you wish me to do?]

AI-chan asked me what I wanted her to do, so I left her doing a simple task.

”For now I want you to separate all of my Skills into different groups alongside Titles, Classes available, and more, and prepare each group for me to convert into Path Jewels shortly. There are many of such things, so it will take you a nice while,” I said.

[Very well, it shall be done as you order, [Kireina]-sama. It is my utmost pleasure to obey you in anything you desire.]

AI-chan then immediately went to do as I asked her, without any doubt, question, or anything.

Her efficiency in doing this task was even better than the Origin Core alone, so this was a nice upgrade that I did not expect that the Divine Dungeon Shop would bring.

So I guess I have my own personal AI that is not limited to the shop anymore…

Pretty cool.

Anyways, as she was doing her tasks, checked the Dungeon Shop a bit, and found that there were new Demigod and God Divine Fragment Elixirs…

I do not know how these are generated, to begin with, but there might be some answers from Ai-chan herself, so I asked her right away while she worked, which did not seem to bother her, as she was excellent at multi-tasking.

[That is an easy question, [Kireina]-sama. Items made through the Dungeon Shop are generated by your Divine Dungeon Points alone, which are essential energy. Through the power of the System, this energy is transformed into items of all types, even Divinity Fragments.]

[This is why you need to refine the Dungeon Points into higher quality ones, so you can create new, higher quality items.]

[The Discount Ability you possess is amazing in many aspects, and it lets you drag power from the System itself to compensate for the amount of Dungeon Points discounted.]

[Such Skill is not possessed by anyone else in the entire world, and it seems that no one is likely to even acquire something similar.]

I see…

”Wait, I wonder where does the System energy come from? It canʼt possibly be from just the System Gods and the System Master, right?” I asked.

[Kireina]-sama is very intelligent, to be expected. Indeed, such power would not be possible to be attained if it were simply being drained from other entities. The power comes directly from this entire worldʼs Laws, alongside the Origin Core of Genesis itself, which is fused with the Worldsʼ Will.]

[And because such power is being constantly renewed in an endless cycle through belief, faith, and the residual energy absorbed by the System from any being that possesses it, this energy seems to be limitless within the spectrum of this worldʼs Spatial Territory. However, such power might not become limitless when used outside of this worldʼs Spatial Territory]

Oh, that was way more info than I imagined.

But I kind of knew this, however, I was not able to completely connect the dots and figure out everything…

AI-chan is indeed amazing, sheʼs literally a library of knowledge.

[If you are wondering, Spatial Territories are the Space that a World with its Origin Core take over the Fabrics of Reality and the Spatial Layers within the Universe]

[Genesis, and many worlds, are placed in certain Spatial Territories around the universe. Sometimes they are a single planet, sometimes they are an entire galaxy with many suns or sometimes enormous nebulas.]

[Each of these is called Spatial Territories, and they are divided into what is called Origins.]

[Due to Origins, beings from their own Spatial Territories cannot freely travel through each one carefreely, however, there are ways to get greater Origins to travel through many worlds without being hindered]

”Wow, alright, I know all of that, you donʼt need to explain it. But it was still helpful, your way of explaining things really clears my mind out and makes all this information inside settled down and organized… Thanks, AI-chan, now go back to your work,” I said.

[Very well, [Kireina]-sama, if you need anything else, please feel free to ask.]

Anything?

I do not know why but isnʼt she acting quite coquettish with me?

No, maybe I am insane.

Well, it would not hurt to ask her something stupid to see her reaction.

”AI-chan, leave what you are doing and participate in a mating session with me,” I said.

[…]

[Very well, [Kireina]-sama, I shall take into the materialization of my avatar. Bear in mind that my experience in this subject is limited, so please, make sure to teach me well]

Flash.

AI-chan then took into a materialized Avatar, a beautiful robot girl, and walked right towards me…

I… Did not expect this to be so swift.

”Kireina-sama, please show me the place where you desire to partake in intercourse with me,”

”E-Eh? It was a joke, AI-chan, I would never do that! Donʼt worry,” I said, asking for forgiveness.

”Joke? Oh, I see,” said Ai-chan, rather expressionlessly, although I felt like… she felt a bit sad.

Ah, now I feel guilty.

I was just trying it out, but maybe she is indeed alive, like, a living being.

Even as an AI…

Eh, well, why not?

”Never mind, I have decided that it would be better for us to mate right now, come to me,”

”Oh. Very well then, Kireina-sama. This makes me incredibly happy in every way possible within my interface,” said Ai-chan, as she walked towards me…

And yeah… I had sex with an AI…
