1614 A Strange New Dao...

"Silva, let me check you for a bit."

Silva flew to my side as she quickly let me grasp her handle, then, I concentrated my soul and Mana into her, and saw through the interior of her Ego Soul.

Egos are different in composition, they lack an Origin Core, but they have a Soul Book from this world's Laws that create them automatically in any soul, whatever they are, I guess.

Within this Soul Book, I was able to easily sense something, a Dao within Silva.

This Dao was…

"Huh? I have never seen a Dao like this!"

I saw through it and only felt a gray Dao Essence. No matter how much I tried to look at it, I couldn't really comprehend it. But if we go through assumptions of the obvious, Silva probably has the Dungeon Dao or something like that.

If she has a Dao of Dungeons, then the power she might have over them is enhanced, and the abilities she possess about Dungeons which are clearly superior to the Dungeons back in Genesis might be also quite well justified… Sadly, I can't check it even with my Appraisal, Daos are hidden somewhere in the Status where they can't be easily seen.

"Well, she probably has the Dao of Dungeons." I said while rubbing my chin.

"Makes sense!" Aquamarine said. "I wonder if I can get Daos like Rimuru and Ailine… Like the Dao of Slimes, or Oceans!"

"You will surely get them eventually, I got Daos by merely leveling up and increasing my Divinity. It is a bit sad you guys can't administrate Stat Points and got Skill Libraries, but the more you level up and evolve, the more you guys will unlock new skills. Let's just keep hoping that." I said with a nod.

"Hm, although we don't remember our memories that well, I am fairly sure I was also someone powerful before. If we keep developing, could it be possible to unlock such powers?" Asked White.

"Hmm…"

The nature of Egos is sure a mystery, I created White and Black out of just Divine Points. I don't really understand what's behind them as much as just thinking they were made out of this essence I used. But perhaps, much like that Lich guy Erdrich, and then Sol and the others, Reincarnation without a Soul might be possible, and created Egos might be actually reincarnations of Wills and not Souls, hence, they have the name of "Ego".

And where could these Wills come from? Well, The Root. This place stores all info. My own reincarnation is also a Will, so it could be said I am like an Ego but not really… It is confusing, but I prefer to believe that than having no clue what the heck is happening.

"I am sure it might happen, and if not, I'll just upgrade the Dao of Egos and then forcefully make you guys stronger and let you awaken your memories. You've been my companions through all this journey so it is the least I could do." I said, reassuring White and the rest.

"Uwaah… Master! Thank you!" White cried.

"Hmph, I guess that's the bare minimum you could do after everything we have done for you!" Black said pridefully, but he was secretly happy.

"Nice! I want to know what I used to be… But I think I got memories of being made by Rimuru and Ailine's accessories and items, so in a way I think that was my previous life, right?" Wondered Aquamarine.

"Hm, partially. I believe that the origin of your appearance might be due to your previous life, that of the divine beast form you have…" I said with a nod.

"Oh, the tiger?" Aquamarine wondered.

"Bingo, I believe there's something to do with your previous life there. If White and Black ever get embodiments of shapes, they might also take shapes that could possible be something like this." I said while wondering.

"I see…" Aquamarine got slightly serious. "That sounds cool though!"

"Yeah, I think so as well." I said with a smile.

"And what was I before, mama?" Silva wondered innocently.

Quite honestly, I don't know what to tell her in this case.

In one point she might had been just a mere piece of an entire world, or perhaps, the ancient world's first dungeons. The dungeons before any other dungeon to have ever existed, ever.

So maybe… telling her won't really work. Err, what else could it be?

"I am sure you were a beautiful and adorable girl, Silva. You're a good daughter." I said with a smile.

"Ahhh! I see!" Silva seemed slightly flustered, as she was happy, floating around cutely.

"Buububu!"

Bubu, however, interrupted our conversation, jumping over my head.

"Hm? you want to know what you were before?" I wondered. "Bubu, don't you remember? I think I read your description back then… It was something like…"

"An infamous Maxima Summon that originates from the Maxima Universe, known as the Galaxy Destroyer and Calamity Bringer, this Caterpillar was born from the residual Chaos accumulated in the corner of the Maxima Universe after eons through a Chaos Egg, its power was originally equal to a Primordial Deity, but it was suppressed after tremendous quantities of efforts and countless lost lives, imprisoned into the depths of the Universe to never awaken… until you summoned him.

This entity despite its cute looks only craves for violence, destruction, and to bring demise to all things. It was always thought that it was impossible to be tamed and converted into a Summon, until you Summoned it.

This is but a small part of its original power, but it already comes with immense quantities of Attribute Particles, comprehended laws including two at 100% comprehension, and three fully comprehended Daos that can make the task of bringing end to everything even easier…"

"Bubuueeh?!" Bubu was confused.

"I guess we can say you are a very important little caterpillar." I laughed a bit. "You and I are not so different, you were born from Chaos and me too… I guess we were predestined to meet, little buddy." I petted Bubu's head. "How about you evolve now?"

"Bubuuu!"

He seemed excited about evolving once more…

I wonder what will he evolve into now? Just a bigger caterpillar? Maybe?
