Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?-Chapter 1159: Norse Pantheon
Glaring at Odin who floated in front of her, Athena started to release her aura, causing him to chuckle.
"There's no need to get violent now do we? Just think of it as me visiting someone of interesting. Though I did see a familiar face." Odin narrowed his eyes, causing Athena to frown in displeasure.
"Shirt is not someone you can just mess with. There's more at stake than you realise."
"Oh I certainly know the stakes, perhaps a little more than you, perhaps a little less. What I will say that is it's rather interesting to see her level degrade to 250. A rather curious anomaly." Odin laughed as he transformed into a wisp of energy, leaving nothing but a single sentence behind.
"I'll take my leave for now, Athena, and give Aphrodite my congratulations. Seems like she's finally got her hands on you."
Hearing this, Athena clicked her tongue in annoyance. Making sure that he wasn't around, she gave her arm a sniff to see if she could still smell Aphrodite's scent. Realising that there was a small scent, Athena frowned and left the area. She wanted to cleanse this smell from her body.

Waking up early in the morning, Shiro glared at the ceiling with a frown. She didn't exactly get the best sleep so she felt groggy right now.
"Urg…" groaning softly, Shiro adjusted her position on the seat and glanced out of the window.
Seeing that it was still early before sunrise, she activated error and glanced at her arm.
"There's still a lot to be known in terms of editing the source code. Right now, I'm able to edit all I want but lack the powers to 'save' the changes and make them permanent. If I can find that out, all that's left is to remember the basic codes that are present in all life. If I get my hands on that, I obtain the basic foundations to life through the source code." Shiro muttered before deactivating Error since she can't see much of her own source code unless she took control of his body.
Thinking about it for a moment, she also realised that she could probably see the foundations of the source code if she observes a pregnant woman since there will be a second code in their body. One that belonged to the child.
"If I can see that, I can probably sort out any birth defects that might appear."
Thinking about the possibilities, it reinforced Shiro's beliefs that the source code is her ticket to a creation divinity.
Shaking her head, she hopped off the throne and made her way out of the castle. If she wanted to experiment with the source code, she needed more. . . Test subjects and the best place to look for that is the outside world.
"Tree's, grass, dirt, monsters, animals, they all have a code. I just need to study them in detail." Shiro smiled as she paused in realisation.
Whenever she used her nature attunement to fix the land, they destroy it does those trees have their own code?
Raising an eyebrow, Shiro waved her hand and created a tree in front of her.
Closing her right eye, she activated Error and had it augment her sight so that she could see the source code.
As she opened her eyes, she blinked in surprise. Rather than making something out of nothing, the tree seemed to take a small portion of her own code before expanding upon that to for the code for its own existence.
Furrowing her brows, Shiro wasn't quite sure as to why a piece of her own code was taken for this. But considering the fact that she was 'technically' the twin to the First Born of Creation, it made sense that a part of her code might be similar. The process may be different when other people do it so it was too soon for her to say anything. Who knows, she might be wrong and everyone uses a part of their code to create something in their surroundings.
Ice, Fire, Metal and so on.
Everything originates from one's mana so there will definitely be a link.
Shaking her head, Shiro started to look at the trees that had already been here without any interference. Examining the code, Shiro noted down the slight differences and similarities it has with the code she has found in people's bodies.
Once she had finished, she glanced back at the castle and wondered what she should do with Nine and Iris.
Iris' problem can't be solved in short time since she needed to improve her control, once Error recovers, she'll be able to make more progress. As for Nine, he has mentioned that he was going to take revenge in the future.
"Seems like I can only experiment with Aoi for now. Perhaps I might look for a few other Queens before the second half arrives." Shiro muttered as Aoi suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Teleporting away, Odin slowly walked to his domain as a bold of lightning suddenly struck near him.
"Father, the mortals are starting the call out to the gods. The barrier is weakening and even though the Greek pantheon have the high ground right now, their foundation is fragile after their civil war. If we want to become the main pantheon, we'll have to make some preparations before the second half arrives." A young man said as Odin furrowed his brows.
"Don't be too hasty Thor. There's been a small… change to our plans. The clash of power I felt, I found the source. She's different but her aura bares resemblance to the First Born of Destruction. Well… a small trace of it. She definitely has a connection but the aura is too weak to be used as a link. It's only bigger than most people but still a little weaker to most fallen. If not for my eye, I would have dismissed her but there's a nagging feeling in my heart." Odin warned as Thor paused in surprise.
"We are to just watch for now. There are many secrets around that woman. Depending on what we do, she might become our doom. After all, she is already known as the god slayer." Odin chuckled before disappearing.
Hearing the title of God Slayer, Thor paused in shock and shivered. He could still remember what happened last time there was someone with this title, the number of gods that died by his hands was uncountable. He had crushed pantheons all by himself, if they underestimate Shiro, it might be their pantheon that get eradicated next.
"Don't even think about it Loki. This is no longer something that we can interfere with." Thor called out. Suddenly, a blue haired woman appeared from the shadows. She had a cheeky smile on her face as her eyes seemed to flicker with a myriad of lights.
"Well even I know that much brother. The only thing I'm thinking about is how much I can mess around without spoiling the stage for the grand play." Loki chuckled as she skipped from shadow to shadow.
"You know I'm a lover for the theatrical. A mysterious god slayer, anomalies appearing in the realm of gods, fallen becoming stronger, civil strife and a new age where the participants are multitudes stronger than what they should be. I feel that more will ascend from this world to take the title of gods. Surely you know that such a play cannot be missed." Loki giggled as she snuck into Thor's shadow only for lightning to strike her and force her out.
"Tch stingy." Loki pouted while Thor ignored her.
"Don't mess around too much. You can watch the play but once the audience messes around with the script, there will naturally be people who will want to remove you." Thor warned as Loki smiled.
"Of course I understand. Brother as much as I enjoy messing around with scripts, that's only because they're so darn awful. They bore me so I must bring some life to the script. This one however, seems like it will keep me entertained. I will control myself as I am capable of that much. Though the same cannot be said for a few others." Loki said as her smile disappeared.
Appearing in front of Thor, Loki was serious.
"There was a mortal that somehow obtained cards that could call upon the power of gods. And these cases are popping up more often. While I haven't given my blessing yet, there have been a few who had tried to call upon my name. Except for a few exceptional mortals, this shouldn't be possible. However, the ones that called upon me are dull. They can't even be called talented. Someone is spreading these cards in hopes that more will call upon the gods. No one likes a third party messing with the script, be careful when you enter the mortal world." Loki warned as Thor nodded his head.
If Loki was this serious then he knew that he had to be on his guard.
"I'll keep that in mind." Thor smiled and patted Loki's shoulder before disappearing in a flash of lightning.
Watching her brother leave, Loki shook her head and summoned a coin.
Flipping it, the crest of Shiro appeared on one side as she twirled it in her fingers.
"The actors are in place, the props are ready and the stage is set. All that awaits is the silence of anticipation before the curtain rises."
