Epic Of Caterpillar Chapter 1103: A New Dao!

Chapter 1103: A New Dao!

A Dao! We have to make a new Dao and discussing it out with my wives and children is the best way to come out with good ideas over it. As of now, someone suggested the Dao of Food, Rimuru to be exact.

To be honest I had considered it too, a Dao of Food or maybe a Dao of Gourmet? A Dao that can let me create super food that can give us super enhancements or even permanent boosts to our power…

Something as ma.s.sive as Path Jewels? Maybe… but I am not too much into the idea yet.

Then there was the idea of a Dao of Devouring suggested by Zehe, but Scarlet is already developing it. She already got a ma.s.sive Dao Fragment. Whenever she becomes a Supreme G.o.ddess, she'll make it into a True Dao most likely, as a Dao Child.

Thing is, she's not aware of it until I mentioned it, and so are most of the Daos of everyone. These Daos are forming from nowhere and just merely out of these people's proficiency, comprehension, and more, and due to their unstable nature even as fragments, I cannot really process them through my Dao Master Path Jewel so everyone can get a copy.

For now we have to wait, but soon enough, a variety of new Dao Fragments of all kinds will shower all of us as we share continuously with one another each of our Daos.

I can also feel some latent Daos forming inside of Rimuru, she's approaching her evolution very soon. But as I just said, as these Dao Fragments are forming out of merely the power of their users, they're unstable and not true fragments yet, so they cannot be shared yet using my Dao Master Path Jewel ability.

"I've been thinking in a Dao that can help everyone the same way my Dao of Path Jewel is doing it. A game-changing and law-defying Dao that encompa.s.ses every single Law. The Dao of Path Jewels helped everyone at the end, now all of you can make game-breaking Path Jewels, and thanks to my shared energy from what I am absorbing, all of you should be able to craft insane Path Jewels or upgrade them… I am a.s.suming you're doing so."

"Of course! It has been a lot of fun, but I still got some to upgrade…" said Zehe, she showed me several black jewels with different-shaped signs on them. They were her path jewels.

"Yeah, we all got our own Path Jewel set pretty much at this point, we are slowly upgrading them through, the amount of divine points they ask for is ridiculous. Even with the energy we absorb from the environment and the monsters we fight; it takes some time." Said Brontes. Her path jewels were mostly golden-colored, though there were some that had a metallic color like a copper coverture.

"I got some War-type Path jewels recently to cover up that attribute which I have not touched too much lately. I've got a few poison and summon-related too! Out of one of them, I got a ma.s.sive Familiar Summon which is a giant deadly snake. It is similar to the other creature I got from my Maxima Summon." Said Nesiphae.

"Oh, interesting. I guess you girls are all packed with unique skillsets and more. This makes it an interesting stuff… Well, now I can't wait for the next battles to come to see you all showcase me this might… Anyways! Any more Dao suggestions?" I wondered.

"If we can make something that make up all Laws… how about a Dao of the System?" wondered Nereid.

"Can't be done. The System is an Attribute by itself too, which is a Law, and Laws cannot directly become Daos. It has to be something related to the System but not… Huh…" I wondered.

"How about a Dao of Creation?" wondered Zehe.

"Dao of Creation! Oh…"

A Dao of Creation, a Dao that could… just let me create things? Something that could let me design things out of thin air, creation is a big word, it encompa.s.ses many things, creation in general would encompa.s.s not just what I just said previously but way more, literally anything.

"Wait, Andromeda, can that be made?" I wondered.

Andromeda quickly checked out but…

"Can't… Such a strong Dao already exists, and it is a Grand Cosmic Dao! You're limited up to Grand Dao, master…" sighed Andromeda.

"Ugh… Then how did the other Supreme G.o.ds got Cosmic Daos?" I wondered.

"They created them through different methods, and they're also of higher grade than you. After creating a Dao of Grand-Rank, they simply upgraded it using their powerful divine energy for thousands of years." Said Andromeda.

"Yeah, we can't wait that much time…" I chuckled.

"Until how long can I make Cosmic Daos?" I asked.

"You can spend trillions of divine points to make a Grand Dao into a Lesser Cosmic Dao, and then another trillions to make it into a Cosmic Dao… the other option, making a Cosmic Dao from the get-go… I don't know. Most likely after you surpa.s.s Supreme G.o.d Rank, and even then, it might be even longer…" said Andromeda.

"Can't I make the Grand Cosmic Dao of Creation into a smaller and lesser form like it happened with the Path Jewel Dao?" I asked.

"It could be done if n.o.body else had created such a Dao before, but because this Dao already exists as a Grand Cosmic Dao, all those that dare to make it out of thin air without the help of a fragment can only create it into Grand Cosmic Dao directly! This is why it is recommended ot make original and strange-sounding Daos." Said Andromeda.

"I see… so a Dao of our own."

The girls kept suggesting stuff.

"How about a Dao of Eating- Wait that's already…" muttered Oga.

"Dao of Deadly Sins and Heavenly Virtues?" asked Sofelaia.

"Oh, but I bet you can't make one of both, they have to be separate…" said Sofarpia.

"How about a Dao of Abyss? Hmm… Or a Dao of Miasma? Chaos? No, Chaos is a Law…" said Gaby.

"A Dao of Self-Duplication or Clones? Try out both, maybe if not, Alter-Ego!" said Nesiphae.

"Oh, you girls got some nice ideas… Let's see, Andromeda, can you check them out?" I asked Andromeda.

"Dao of Deadly Sins and Heavenly Virtues hasn't been made… Dao of Abyss exists, Dao of Miasma… it doesn't. Dao of Self-Duplication and Clones also exists, they're both Cosmic… but the Dao of Alter-Ego… no, that one hasn't been made." Said Andromeda.

"Dao of Alter Ego… An interesting concept…" I wondered.

"Mama! Don't you have a special power named Trait? How about the Dao of Defiance?" asked Scarlet.

"Defiance…" I wondered.

The Dao of Defiance…

Yeah.

I have a Trait like that, right? This Trait has helped me all my life. It had helped me defy probabilities, to defy the heavens.

It is literally my Plot Armor made into a power.

So what about a Dao around it?

"Master… the Dao of Defiance can be created! At Grand-Rank!" said Andromeda.

I guess I've made up my mind.

"Alright! Make it up!" I said.

Using another of my bodies, I was already in front of the Dao Monolith.

I touched it with my hands, as I infused my energy, thoughts, and what I wanted.

And as if it were born out of thin air, a new Dao was born.

FLAs.h.!.+

A powerful force began to break through the Fabric of Reality, as a something enormous emerged, but that was also, incredibly small.

I noticed that what I had created had defied existence itself.

This is a Dao that shouldn't exist!

TRUUMMM!!!

The Fabric of Reality broke apart and then slowly regenerated back, as if some kind of power or ent.i.ty was maintaining this stable.

And the Dao materialized before me like a sphere of darkness.

It wasn't holy or bright, it was… just complete darkness.

This is… the concept of Defiance? The path of defiance.

This endless darkness that looked through everything and defied everything… what was this?

It made me feel a s.h.i.+ver down my spine, my own Dao!

Ugh…

But I gritted my teeth and grabbed it, a.s.similating it instantly.

FLAs.h.!.+

A stream of information rushed inside of my mind as I fully comprehended this power.

It was mesmerizing. It left me almost speechless.

Even the me with my family having breakfast fell silent.

Everyone looked at me as they felt the power of this new Dao emerge out of thin air, the entire world of Genesis might as well felt it.

No, the entire Universe, or perhaps, whatever lays beyond the Universe itself… I know there is more than this Universe, there is the Universes beyond it, just as Null had told me back then.

Ding!

[You've created the [Grand Dao of Defiance]!]

[You've comprehended the [Grand Dao of Defiance]!]

[You've a.s.similated the [Grand Dao of Defiance]!]

[All your stats have increased!]

[Your [Trait] has been enhanced thanks to the [Grand Dao of Defiance]!]

[All your Capabilities have been extended]

[Endless Paths have opened]

[There is now a chance for everything!]

"W-What…?!"

A chance for everything, absolutely everything?

Fufufu… Now that's what we are talking about!

I instantly felt it when I made this thing, the power it had…

It was terrifying, even without it being at its full potential.

-----

Around the entire world of Genesis, just when Kireina had just made a new Lesser Dao, a sudden event happened.

As if it were not enough than a Lesser Dao, a Grand Dao was born!

And this Grand Dao of Defiance… just as its name implied, defied the entire world by itself!

The monstrous and dark power of defiance, it wasn't s.h.i.+ny nor filled with brightness.

No… it was filled with a toxic and seeping darkness, as if it were consuming everything within the world and the Universe, and even beyond that!

The Dao of Defiance was born!

The Supreme G.o.ds felt it strongly within them, the power of Fate in all of Genesis took a bit blow!

It felt so weakened that Fate itself… cried in pain!

But how? How did it cried in pain?

What was… Fate?

The power of Fate, and how everyone always speaks about Fate… Who was Fate? What was Fate?

The Fate of Genesis… did it had a personification? Did it had something to do with the Fate of the entire universe beyond it? or… of the many Universes even farther away from it?

And what about the vast cosmos where countless Universes reside?

All of the Fates that connected to one another felt pain!

The entirety of the Dimensional Membrane that contained countless Omniverse, Multiverses, and Universes… all of them trembled by just this tiny Dao!

The Dao of Defiance restructured the entirety of the Fabric of Reality, and ever single being of this Dimension glared at Kireina!
