Epic of Caterpillarchapter 1167: sleeping in hell

.

I was strong already, so nothing here gave me Skills no matter what, even if they were aliens from another dimension.

Nonetheless, we began enjoying our meals.

We enjoyed the feast with everyone in the cave with the Imps, the many Imps in the village gathered to eat with us, it had been a long time since they had a big harvest like this, and I venerably gave them all the meat they wanted, we could eat all of these demon beasts ourselves, but sharing with these little people was also nice, their stomachs were bigger than they seemed though, as they ate a lot.

The Elder of the village greeted us, it was an older Imp with a long white beard. A typical elder of a village. I feel like as a supreme goddess meeting an elder was nothing, and even more wasting my time here, but I felt like it was the right thing to do, and I honestly felt comfortable to take things easy for once and simply live it off normal, one step at a time.

"Thank you for all the food you've offered us… We don't know how to repay you, lady archdemon…" he said.

"Well I would like to know a bit more about literally everything, would you guys be willing to share with me your knowledge?" I asked.

"But of course… perhaps nothing material we can offer there is, but we can offer our knowledge for your nourishment of the mind! Please ask away." He said.

"Well, for now let's move it for tomorrow morning, you guys are already sleepy, aren't you?" I asked.

"Ah, how considerate of you, thank you, thank you." Said the elder.

After the feast, every Imp went to their home to sleep, while we decided to sleep in our own portable manor.

Sleeping in Hell wasn't something I ever thought I would do, but our portable manor was more than capable of letting us do it while being completely comfortable inside, with warm and soft beds, and more.

We ended binging a movie with my family after the feast though, where we ate all sorts of sweets, and then we ended sleeping away through the night.

When we woke up it was around 6 AM in Hell, and it appears that the sky above the Limbo changes from night today, although we can't see it because we are underground.

The Imps said that the night was dangerous as horrendous beasts began to emerge, stronger and more aggressive than other demonic beasts. They were known as Dark Beasts, and could easily hunt them down, so they hid beneath the ground and had lived in harmony here.

This morning we decided to offer some of our food to the Imps, such as sweet fruit, vegetables, and more, to see if anything was suitable for their tastes, and they resulted to be.

They were able to just pretty much eat anything they wanted, so it was easy to compensate them with such gifts. I had prepared a special plant using my nature and life magic, creating a dwarf Yggdrasil tree hybrid with other fruit, vegetable, and tuber plants, this tree can absorb demonic energy from the environment and grow, while producing all sorts of fruits, vegetables, and tubers from its branches every day, these don't even need water, and can feed the Imps who were always barely managing to get by every day.

I gifted them a couple of these seeds, which they planted right away, the small trees surged immediately, and turned to be crimson red in color, the fruits and everything they produced also turned to end with demonic colors and nature, but it was all tasty for them.

This was mostly an experiment on my part to see how things can be done using demonic energy, I wanted to see what could happen to plants of my world if they absorbed this, and they turned to end up mutating, but their power and purpose still remained, their elements simply changed and diverged. It was similar to the power that miasma and chaos can inflict, causing mutations and the like, but on a bigger and more complex and personified scale.

I had considered the implications it could have and what I could make with it, perhaps what I could make might increase my strength… or well, I don't know. Maybe if I can find more delicious and rich demonic energy… to be honest, I can actually do all of this, but this energy we got in here is low-grade at most, I could set up a "Drain Shrine" though, which could net me daily demonic energy.

Drain Shrine are special buildings I make up using the Kingdom System and other powers, which connect directly to my Realm Core, like special facilities. They're literally just giant formations too, so there's that.

Anyways, they serve as a good way to absorb fuel from the gates of hell, if I can place a bunch of these around, I could constantly get more and more demonic energy to cultivate my demonic core, completely cheating the entire cultivation system of this place!

This formation would be mostly composed with the power of the Dao of Drain with the Drain Path Jewel helping out too. I had considered making a Path jewel of formations to facilize their creation even more than now, maybe with them I can make formations in a second, but can I make such a broken path jewel?

Of course I can! They can become anything I want now, hehe… Now reality is anything I want it to be. I could even make myself a reality bending path jewel if I had enough divine points, which I don't!

Anyways, for now it was time to ask some questions around, the Elder and the Imps had gathered inside our manor and were enjoying the food served in the tables with the rest of my family.

I had a few things I wanted to ask them…
