Epic of Caterpillarchapter 1328: choosing the third ego

.

.

.

The power of this new function brought new possibilities and also abilities to my weapons, more than I ever thought, now my Khaos Spear was renamed as Black, while my Ginnungagap Spear was renamed as White, for the sake of simplicity, I will call them like this for now.

Black appears to have a rebellious personality, and dislikes to obey others, at most he seems like someone that would always try to annoy people and might be way too prideful for someone that doesn't remember anything of what they are except he kept saying he used to be a "Demon King" and that's it.

And White is more polite, she also has the voice of a calm woman, and seems more serviceable, while Black is the complete opposite. She seems to also be able to talk with others the same way Black can, and constantly reprimands him for being unpolite to me, what a nice weapon she is.

I have wondered what she was, so before doing anything with the third Ego, I asked her.

"White do you remember anything from your previous life?" I wondered.

"Life? Hm… I… I think there was something with wings. I was… eh? I don't know." She said.

"Hmm, of course she doesn't know! She's a goody-two-shoes stupid idiot! What would she know?!" asked Black.

"Black that's enough!" I said.

"Eeeep! S-Sorry, boss!" he cried.

"Does Black remembers something?" asked White.

"Of course! I know I was… a Demon King! I think…" he said.

"That's it?" asked White.

"Yeah! What else would you want to know? Tell me and I shall answer!" he said.

"You don't know anything then…" sighed White.

"Of course I know! I know what I was and… I… I don't." he sighed.

"So he doesn't know…" I said.

"Master, could it be possible that Egos are somehow lost souls? But this is strange, they're only made of divine power… Also, they lacked personality until you named them, so they had no memories, but when they were named, they gained a personality, and they seem to have been someone but now don't remember… This is odd, isn't it?" asked Andromeda.

"Indeed. Sigh… I wish you could know something, you're the one that came out with the idea, Andromeda…" I said.

"I-I know… I sincerely apologize for this!" she said.

"No, dear, you don't have to apologize like that… It is fine, don't worry, I guess you really do things to help me but there isn't much explanation, huh? Maybe we should call the System Master and Astraea and ask them, maybe they know." I said.

"Oh, right, you're right about that, Master, perhaps they do know something about Egos, after all they had been working in the System way longer than me, merely an A.I. from a Shop that evolved into what I am now thanks to you…" she said.

"Hm, let's just do that then. For now, I should think about what to do with the last Ego… What should I infuse it into? I have my other equipment, but it is not near as strong as the Spear, but I guess it doesn't matter, as the Ego will boost its power over time…" I said.

"Indeed, perhaps your beautiful Red Dress? Or maybe a necklace, a pendant, a earnecklace, or your heels… But you often change them all the time, they're not like weapons as you always have different appearance." Said Andromeda.

"Yeah, that's the dilemma, I am always using different heels and so on, so this gets even harder to decide." I said.

Equipment has been something I've been always updating. However, due to the lack of power and resources, which were not enough to make something as powerful as my spears more than twice, I had limited myself to leave the rest of my equipment as strong as I could possibly make it with my current resources without wasting it all.

Therefore, most of my equipment remained within the divine realm but they were yet to reach Supreme Rank and were still in Great God Rank at most, although if they were enhanced with my auras and other energies, they can grow more stronger, but only temporarily.

Some of such items, because I feared they would break and they were precious to me, had been saved inside my Inventory. After all, anything below Supreme God Realm is not as powerful and might break in a fight, after all my own body is strong enough, and I had already equipped such equipment into my soul where their bonuses stack without risking breaking them.

Although now that I've reached Rank 3 of the Supreme Goddess Realm, my Divine Realm has once more grew to insane degrees of size, and it was so gigantic that there were many new Supreme God-Realm Materials spawning, perhaps I can possibly enhance the rest of my set of equipment some more, to new levels.

But I would have to do this slowly… And with an Ego, we can begin that process immediately. I think I might have enough materials, but which item should I pick? That's the real question.

To be honest, seeing these old accessories that had been with me since the beginning of my journey, I can't help but smile over the nostalgia I am feeling… There is one specific necklace that is very precious to me, gifted to me by my wife Rimuru back then, which I've been upgrading constantly until now, but that I ended equipping in my soul and protecting it from breaking.

Now… maybe I should use that necklace.

This precious and beautiful necklace with a rainbow and blue-colored jewel on it, shining brightly with its black, purple, and red metallic material, and beautiful decorations.

This necklace in specific was one very special one, a beautiful item… and this beautiful necklace with these dark chains and a divine essence to it has a beautiful story behind it.

What better to upgrade than this one? I will upgrade others later, but this one… Yes, I will upgrade this one first.
