Chapter 777: A Loophole?
Epic of Caterpillar
As the night went by, we have a large feast and celebrated our victory, although many things happened we have managed to pull it off this time, and we'll keep doing so, because I will prepare even more this time, as many trump cards as I can.
But well, now that we're in the Lower Realm, it is rather 'safe', although I am pretty sure that there are some Demon Gods around that don't take have good intentions, they are wary of our strength and the number of Gods at my side, and for the moment, we are safe.
The Lower Realm is a very convenient place to stay, as most of the surface is completely unaware of its existence, even Gods don't know about it, Agatheina and all the other Gods had absolutely no idea about its existence, even less the Dark Steppes Gods, and when I asked all the Gods I ate inside of the Inner World or Rebirth, they all said they didn't know either… It is indeed a very secretive area of this Realm, so secretive that not even the majority of Gods know about it.
Well, except the ones already living here, and if any of them have some bond or connection with those of the surface.
But I have discovered that most of them do not have one, and are mostly isolating themselves down here, as they do not really want to have anything to do with the surface.
Talking about the Gods in here, two Gods blessed Marduk that I might try to contact later on…
Well, there is a lot to do, even after finishing the feast and all, I have to assess all of this power I've gathered, see how I can use these Skill Points and Dungeon Points I have gathered most efficiently, and a variety of other things, such as raising to a Living Deity!
Of course, I am not doing it now, as I want to rest first…
But I will most likely do it tomorrow, the sooner the better, after all, the more power I can have, the safer everything will be.
And I have some kind of idea that even as a Living Deity, I will not be as restricted as actual Gods… Well, mostly because of all of my insane powers.
Now, I am thinking about what I should do first.
Should I pick Classes and stuff before raising to Living Deity, or should I raise to Living Deity and then pick Classes and other things?
I discussed this with the Gods inside the World of Rebirth, and all of them came with their opinions.
Some said that it would be better to pick things now as it seems that I can draw more power from them while still being a 'mortal', while others said that if I wait after becoming a Living Deity, new and better Classes will emerge and I will be able to pick them over instead of the old ones or fuse them with the old ones for better efficiency…
And yeah, it seems that I am more inclined to change Classes after raising to godhood…
And the other issue is… spending the Divine Dungeon Points.
I have a ton now!
I can even buy some Sins or Heavenly Commandments with them now!
I remember that each one cost like 5 million… and they are like the strongest powerup I could get out of such current points…
But wait for a second, do not I also have the Merchant Skill that can let me do a ton of stuff, such as increasing my power depending on how much wealth I have (which worked as a buff in the last battles) and other stuff… Amongst them, there is a very useful discount technique!
And the discount depends on what's the level… and its level is… 5?!
Did it level up due to the bonus skill proficiency from eating Gods? Well, that's convenient.
With it, I have a 50% discount!
But is it enough to buy all the rest of sins and heavenly commandments?
The Gods said that if I have them all and then raise to godhood, I could become an incredibly unique goddess…
So I have 17 million Dungeon Points.
And each Sin and Commandment cost 5 million.
If we halve the price, 2.5 million.
I already have two sins, so I just need 5 sins and 7 heavenly commandments, that's… I need 30 million!
Can I gather it in a few days of waiting for the auto dungeon points?
This might take over a month if I have to wait like this, and I don't want to wait so much, to be honest.
There are other options though!
I can go and conquer Dungeons within the surface and the Lower Realms as fast as possible and gather as many Dungeon Points as I can…
Or I can go beat the crap out of some hiding Sins and not even need to buy that sin if I just eat theirs as I did with the Sin of Greed.
Which Sins can I kill straight away?
There is Vretrion to the south, the bastard that killed Brontes in her previous life, he's Pride.
Oh right, Truhan and Celica can become Wrath when fused, but I will not ask for their Sin, I will just buy my own Wrath I guess.
There's Sloth within the depths of the Ocean, sleeping near the tectonic plates of this Realm, if he wakes up and starts a tantrum the entire Realm will begin to tremble, and it might break apart… But I believe I can deal with him.
And then… What else?
I mean, there are also the Heavenly Commandments in the Central Continent, but because it is guarded by so many Gods… I am not going to get there yet, so taking the Heavenly Commandments is a no.
There is the Sin of Envy within the Elven Kingdom of Greenwood, faraway from the original position of my Empire, this sin is quite young, like the Greedy Queen.
It seems that there was an Elven King that once had Envy, and now there is a new elf that has it again… are Elves that envious of people? I thought they were prideful.
Gluttony… Is not even in this Realm, according to the information I have gathered.
Lust and Greed are mines…
I guess that is all, Pride, Sloth, and Envy.
If I catch them and eat them, that will be… 7.5 Million fewer Dungeon Points I would need.
Is it worth the wasted time?
I mean, I do not really need to do this, but if it's going to make me even stronger…
But all the time I would waste is… ugh.
Wait a second.
Oh no, I am really such an idiot…
I open my Item Box and take out seven scrolls.
[Divine Skill Upgrading Scroll (Phantasmal)]
Using this item would let you automatically increase the Level of any Skill by 1 Level, it can also cause a forced Skill Awakening into the Skill if it used over a Level 10 Skill.
I have six of these.
I can literally just increase the level of my merchant skill and the discount I get… to the maximum value.
What is the maximum discount though?
Can I get it done with 17 million Dungeon Points if I manage?
Seeing my future as of now, using these scrolls into this Skill will literally let me buy items at incredibly lowered prices, and also change classes even easier due to the discount applied to the required Skill Points!
Hehe, I am really such a person capable of lowering the price of everything now?
Damn, I am quite overpowered.
Maybe I will not need to go kill these idiots before raising to Living Deity.
Well, not like I will not do it, I am still going to eat their sins afterward and get double Sins or something.
Or I might even give them to my family and friends so they can get stronger!
They will be way better with me than with any of those idiots anyways.
So I just need to level up this Skill and that's it?
Oh, I think that if I were to exert some of my power using the System Administrator Skill and Title, there might be some way to alter the Dungeon Shop too… But that would be complicated, I need to figure out how to exactly use this power correctly.
And Quinn's still sleeping to ask her to help me out, so that will also have to wait.
Man, what a pain, honestly.
Wait, is not this too much of a big loophole?
I can also buy these scrolls in the shop, for around 500.000 each.
So I could have abused this way earlier if it were not because I always have my head busy with even more and more stuff to do?!
What?!
Fine, alright, that is in the past.
Let's see things for this glorious future ahead, and all the insanity I will be able to unfold over this world by buying things in the Dungeon Shop with discounts of, possibly, 90%.
Hmm.
Do you know how much the sins would cost with this discount?
500.000 Dungeon Points!
That's insane, I know, I know!
Things are going to get spicier, especially because there are a lot of other insane items I am beginning to put my eyes on!
Even if I can only buy them a limited amount of times… that is more than enough for me!
Just wait for it, Pride, Sloth, Envy, Azuma Empire, and the rest of wandering Demon Gods, an unstoppable force is coming for you very soon.
And oh yeah, the Central Continent?
Well, they might all get wrecked and eaten too, why not.
Will Great Gods even be able to put a stop on me after I begin to completely assimilate all the power I can get from all these new sources I have?
Perhaps.
So I better make sure to raise into Great Goddess too, maybe.
Great Goddess Kireina, sounds nice, isn't it?
But I am leaving the shopping and stuff for tomorrow, tonight, I will be… very busy.
Especially now that Sakura and I had finished our date… Yeah, I was dating her while also thinking this with my split minds, oh yeah, I am the amalgamation of many split minds, yet I am also Kireina.
Anyways, it seems that there will be some action with Sakura and the rest of my wives, so I better pour all of my mind and soul into it and enjoy the pleasure, as I kind of deserve it after going through so much hell…
This will be a long night…
