As my consciousness was fading away, three options emerged before my sight. It felt as if I wasn't even looking at them though, but they were there. Is this what the Soul Book is all about?

The Evolution options began to emerge within my mind. I tried my best to read them all, but I was feeling lethargic with each passing split of a second as I fell from the skies.

I had to do this fast.

[Primordial Chaotic Abyssal Uroboros Caterpillar (Divine Species)]

[Rank]: [B+]

A monstrous abomination. A caterpillar born from a cocoon of Chaos is not only and merely just a small bug. This monstrous being is said to be born from the Abyss of Dimensions themselves, where the fabric of reality and dimensions begins to melt away into a primordial soup of endless twisting Chaos. These aberrant infant bugs move across space and devour anything in sight. Well-known for being ferocious eaters that, in certain circumstances, can devour themselves to attain short boosts of power in exchange for their HP. These beasts are incredibly powerful the moment they hatch, but due to sacrificing growth for power, cannot further evolve after reaching Level Cap.

-----

[Primordial Chaotic Soul Devouring Vampire Butterfly (Divine Species)]

[Rank]: [B-]

A butterfly said to traverse across Realms in search for blood and souls. It is a vicious eater despite its majestic appearance. The wings it has possess several painted eyes capable of inflicting curses over its opponents. It is capable of controlling souls and devour them alongside being able to drink blood and refine it into various types of Blood Essences. However, it is well known that such rare creatures are capable of hoarding several types of Bloodlines together and are sought by those that seek such powers within their bodies, only to be promptly devoured by their vicious and trickster-like ways of fighting. A vicious yet majestic beast that has a great potential in evolution options.

-----

[Primordial Chaotic Dark Blood Vampiric Caterpillar (Divine Species)]

[Rank]: [C+]

A monstrous Divine Species of Primordial Chaotic Caterpillar that roams the universe seeking blood. It can smell blood from kilometers away from its position, and it is capable of gaining temporary strength by absorbing the blood of its prey. It is capable of controlling Blood and use it to fight or drain it even faster from its foes. It can develop more Vampiric capabilities as it evolves, and it has a very bloodthirsty nature.

-----

[Primordial Chaotic Space Distorting Horror Caterpillar (Divine Species)]

[Rank]: [C+]

A strange, and rare Divine Species of Primordial Chaotic Caterpillar. It roams through outer space by skipping through distances with its ability to distort space, however, its ability consumes an incredible quantity of energy so it requires great sustenance, devouring hundreds if not thousands per day. It has a horrifying appearance that makes anybody that glances at it faint in horror.

-----

As I read the descriptions, I felt that I was growing more and more lethargically tired. The more time I spent reading, the more time I would bring my death closer!

Without thinking it twice, I choose the butterfly one after gazing that the first one couldn't evolve any longer. It might be weaker in Rank, but this one might have a greater growth!

What I needed was to evolve quickly to refill my HP bar!

Ding!

[You have chosen the [Primordial Chaotic Soul Devouring Vampire Butterfly (Divine Species)] Evolution Option!]

FLASH!

Suddenly, I felt my entire body beginning to burn.

The burning sensation was horrifying, it felt as if I was going to just die there.

Was the evolution not possible due to being almost dead?!

As my consciousness was fading away, I sensed the presence of something flying towards me.

Invidia.

The bastard flew towards me as fast as possible, loading himself with as much energy as possible.

He probably sensed I was evolving and quickly decided to finish me off before I could even do a single thing.

"I won't let you revive through evolution, bug!"

Invidia felt something was happening, and the bastard, already incredibly angered at what I did to him to weaken him, flew towards me to quickly destroy me.

CLAAASH!

I felt his blade piercing through my already almost dead body, as the interior of my body, all my fluids, began to splatter out of the many wounds and cracks. My shell started to shatter into pieces, as I felt like my very soul was being torn apart into pieces. Despite having been so strong before, I was dying against a goddamn Ego weapon from all things.

If I die now… can I even have a second chance at all?

As I felt like I was finally dying at the end, I suddenly felt a warm sensation.

The emptiness and agonizing pain I felt before quickly disappeared, as a warm sensation started to flow across my entire body… In fact, I felt like I finally had one.

Since I was as cocoon, it always felt like I was a moving cocoon filled with liquid which was my "body".

But at the end, it never truly felt like an actual body, until now.

CRASH!

As my shell shattered into pieces, a light came from within, blinding the demonic sword's sense of sight for a few splits of a second.

"Ungh…?! What is this… light?!"

It finally felt like I had a body.

I felt my legs, my head, my antennae… I even felt my wings.

I quickly spread out my wings, as they suddenly emerged from within the cracked cocoon pieces stuck to my body, as if I was hatching from an egg.

The wings began pumping with blood, quickly growing bigger and more majestic, showing several beautiful patterns of purple, black, pink, and red colors.

There were three pairs of eye-shaped patterns in them, flashing with powerful divine energy.

It felt as if I had been reborn.

"T-This is… impossible…! What sort of power… is this?!"

As expected, Invidia seemed shocked that things didn't went as he wanted.

It is payback time.
