Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?-Chapter 1213: Meeting Between Gods
Chapter 1213: Meeting Between Gods
Upon activating Hemera's blessing, Nan Tian was able to sense traces of divine energy on the cards, etching out what should be the crest but he was still unsure. It was akin to being blind and trying to figure out a drawing that had the edges raised up. Yes he could get somewhat of an outline but it was still difficult to make out what it actually was.
"Hmm… If you don't mind, am I able to take them back with me for experimentation?" Nan Tian asked but Jacob shook his head.
"The moment they leave my vicinity, they're reduced to ash and reappear in my hand. Plus, I'm running out of time. I have another day left to choose or else my choice is forfeited. I had just submitted a request to the council earlier so that sir and her highness could look into this but I haven't heard anything back yet." Jacob explained as Nan Tian thought about it for a moment.
"Alright, I have an idea. I'll call a friend of mine over so that we can possible do something about these cards." Nan Tian smiled as Jacob nodded.
Bringing some snacks to the table and waiting for a moment, he heard a knock on the door.
Opening the door, he was surprised to see two rather famous people standing in front of his door. Even his neighbours are watching in surprise.
"Is this the right house?" Madison asked as she glanced to Helion who rubbed his chin.
"Should be. Nan Tian did say this was the right address. I believe your name is Jacob right? Can we come in?" Helion asked as Jacob nodded his head and stood to the side, letting the two in.
Blinking his eyes, his couldn't believe that three legends were now chilling in his living room.
"So I called two of my friends over in order to figure out something about your cards. The others are a little busy so only Madison and Helion could come. But basically, the plan is to have a… peaceful diplomatic talk with the gods and sort things out." Nan Tian smiled as Madison shrugged.
"If Poseidon is to be used as a reference, you probably called me here to beat the sh*t out of them if they do appear to be hostile." Madison waved her hand while Helion chuckled. Currently, he was tinkering with Jacobs gear since he had nothing else to do.
"Well that was option 2. If talking does fail then we will have to get violent. If they were in their original bodies I would be somewhat worried but since they can't do that, we're more than enough to handle a few gods in a fist fight." Nan Tian laughed.
"I supposed that's all the planning we need. Let's get this over with." Madison said as she stood up, surprising Jacob.
"Wait what? Is that all the planning we're doing?" Jacob asked as Madison blinked her eyes.
"We usually plan less than that since know our capabilities. We just run out with our arms swinging. Things usually die after a while and if they don't, we do an emergency meeting." Madison shrugged.
"She's right you know. Honestly, I'm surprised you broke past the 500 threshold with your current mentality but remember this. At this level, the moment you drop your guard, someone lower level than you can easily take your head. That's the problem with beings that have become conceit after being uncontested for so long. They don't expect anomalies like Madison and Shiro to deal so much damage." Helion smiled, passing Jacob his armour that he upgraded.
Nodding his head speechlessly, he followed behind the three as a portal opened up and all of them arrived in the middle of a mountain range.
Walking forward, Madison looked around for a moment before asking everyone to step back.
"Nan Tian, what kind of area do you want? Flat plains or carve up some of the ground so that the mountains are like walls?" Madison asked as Nan Tian though about it for a moment.
"I'm pretty sure we can keep things as they are. If the gods do fight, it's not like a mountain range will hold you lot back." Nan Tian laughed as Madison shrugged.
"True. But its for the flare you know? Like a phase 1 and I'm the boss." Madison grinned.
"Have you been playing that game with Khionah and Revel?" Helion asked as Madison nodded her head.
"There's not much to do right now so during my breaks I'll join them for a game or two. It's pretty fun in all honesty." Madison laughed as Nan Tian shook his head.
"I should ask the game company to ban your account haha."
"Well do you think they dare to ban the account of a demi god?" Madison stuck out her tongue before putting on a serious face.
"Anyways before we begin we should set down some formations. Even though I'm confident in defeating them, we can't let down our guard. That's how you get killed." Madison said as both Nan Tian and Helion started to set up their defences.
"Is there anything I should do?" Jacob asked as Madison nodded her head.
"Get yourself ready. If you get a hit or two in you'll be able to get some extra exp." Madison smiled.
Soon, the entire mountain range was now filled with runes and formations that will help bolster Madison's power. Similar to what Shiro had done during one of the events, they now had additional benefits while fighting within this pseudo domain.

"Have we found any clues leading to the First Born?" Zeus asked as Poseidon shook his head.
"Hermes' seems to be busy with something so we haven't heard anything back from him nor the gods that took Nyx's side during the civil war. Even though we've come to a truce for now it seems like they're not very cooperative." Poseidon said as he glanced at Athena and Aphrodite who had joined their meeting.
"What are you looking at us for? It's not like we know where they've gone. As for little Hermes, it seems like Hades had sent him on a small errand so he won't be available right now." Aphrodite smiled while leaning against Athena who furrowed her brows.
"Even without Hermes, you should have other messengers. And if I'm to be blunt, we're no longer part of the same pantheon I suppose. Just two groups of gods that share the same pantheon name. So don't think you can just order people from our side to do your jobs. It's not like we're going to slack when it comes to finding the First Born." Athena said as Zeus furrowed his brows.
"Let's not get too hostile now. We're still technically in a truce." Aphrodite laughed before turning to Poseidon.
"Now as friends in a truce, I'm sure you wouldn't mind me asking how your fight with Madison went right?" She grinned.
Hearing this, Poseidon felt like a vein was about to burst when Zeus glared at Aphrodite who laughed and shrugged.
"It's merely a joke. Don't worry, I saw everything clearly." Aphrodite waved her hand with no fear.
"I see that this meeting is going nowhere so I shall end it for now. I shall call for you when the next meeting is due." Zeus frowned as both Athena and Aphrodite stood up immediately.
"Since its over we'll see you soon. Bye~"
Without another word, both Athena and Aphrodite left.
Watching the two leave, Zeus sighed and massaged his head. He didn't think it would be this annoying to have half of the pantheon branch off and follow Nyx's leadership just for a mortal girl who attained divinity.
"Tsk. Brother, now that Nyx and the primals have gone missing we could take back some of our authority. We have allies of our own." Poseidon complained.
"Shut it, if we cause more infighting the other pantheon will come in and reap the rewards. You know how the Norse are staring at our necks like hungry lions, waiting for a chance to sink their teeth in and kill us. Endure for now brother, our time will come again." Zeus narrowed his eyes as he stood up and left the meeting.
Just as he left the meeting, he felt a reaction from one of the cards that he had sent out. Returning to his domain, he sat down on his throne and sent out one of his avatars.

"Well that was annoying." Aphrodite complained as Athena nodded her head.
"Mn, though we're waiting for them to slip up. Once they do that we can take Zeus out of the picture along with Poseidon. But they're cautious." Athena sighed.
"True. They don't want to be dragged off the throne. We already got some news back from Nyx and Gaia so we should be able to make a move soon. Hades is already making a temple so that all of us can start to descend." Aphrodite smiled while glancing at Athena.
Narrowing her eyes, she bit Athena on the earlobe.
"Since there's nothing else to be done shall we relax for a bit?" She raised an eyebrow, causing Athena to cough before walking away faster.
Curling her lips into a smug smile, Aphrodite jogged after her.
"That wasn't a no~"
