Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?-Chapter 1186: Alternative Options
Arriving at the main gates to the castle, Shiro narrowed her eyes and kicked it down.
Scanning the entire place, Shiro could sense quite a few people working here with a giant arena where they kept all the slaves.
Furrowing her brows, Shiro placed her hand on the walls of the castle and scanned the entire building.
Activating Analysis EX, she filtered out those that were 'good' and slaughtered the bad. With the influx of memories and records flooding her mind, Shiro stumbled for a moment as blood dripped from her nose.
Shaking her head, she wiped the blood away and proceeded to make her way towards the main room where she felt a large source of divine energy. There was no doubt that whatever is in the room is connected to the god.
Stomping her foot down, Shiro teleported anyone who wasn't involved out of the castle before walking towards the room.
Seeing the set of doors, she kicked it down, revealing a grotesque statue in the middle.
"So you're the one who's running this place." Shiro said while resting Iriel on her shoulder.
"Ye-"
*BANG!!!
Firing her hand cannon, Shiro cut him off while approaching without care.
"That was a statement not a question. Had it been a question I would have permitted you to talk back to me." Shiro scoffed while firing another bullet at the ceiling.
Suddenly, a web of runes spread itself across the ceiling.
Just as the god was about to complain, Shiro appeared in front of the statue and plunged Iriel into the chest.
Flicking her wrist, a faint blue silhouette appeared with his chest pierced by her blade.
Seeing that it was a rather young boy with black hair, black eyes with gold pupils, black runic tattoos and tribalistic clothes, Shiro raised an eyebrow.
"Hm, so you prefer to act bigger than you actually are."
"Who the hell are you?!" The god hissed while trying to move but realised that the runes had transformed into chains that locked onto him while the sword stopped him from leaving.
Cold sweat drenched his back as he didn't think there was someone like this in the mortal realm at this point in time.
"Dead people don't need to know. Let's see…."
Pulling out a book, Shiro started to read through Isvelger's notes while keeping the god suspended in mid air.
"Hey! I'm tal-"
*PUSHI!!!
Flicking her hand, Shiro tore his jaw off, stopping him from speaking while she read the notes.
"Don't interrupt me. Its not like anything you say will save you anyways. Unless you want to make the process more painful I suggest you shut up." Shiro warned while flicking through the pages.
Gritting his teeth, the god stared at the sword and wondered what kind of weapon could actually hold him down like this.
Sending out his energy, he realised that it was completely suppressed by the blade.
He was no different from a mortal right now.
Widening his eyes, he could feel fear gripping his heart. His divinity was sealed and he couldn't leave this place either. The only thing stopping fear from overwhelming him was that the girl hadn't found his core yet. He couldn't be killed.
"If I use your core as a catalyst, I'll be able to create a container to fuse both creation and destruction together without harming myself. Perfect."
Covering her hand with red circuits, Shiro stabbed it into the god's chest and pulled out the core that was now wrapped with red circuits.
Flinching with pain, the god watched in horror as Shiro created a scalpel with her circuits.
"Just in case you're too loud, let's make sure you can't make a sound anymore." Her with spare hand, she pulled out a strand of code from his core and started to overwrite some of the code.
Feeling as though a million daggers were carving into his mind, the god wanted to shout but realised that he had 'forgotten'. He knew what shouting was, he knew that he could do it but he forgot how.
Panting in shock, he realised that Shiro was changing the core of his being.
His divinity, his power, it doesn't matter anymore.
Ignoring the desperate pleadings of the god, Shiro started to transform his code into a conduit for creation energy.
"Since this universe is practically the source of destruction, pulling creation energy to this universe will be difficult. One must create a tear in space that reaches across the uncountable amount of universes until it reaches the one closest to the source of creation. Only then can you find the right balance. Anything less than this will not be stable and will continue to eat away at the 'host' until nothing is left. Tearing through the space will be no easy task, it's akin to grabbing the edges of a sheet of paper and folding it in a way where the two edges overlap.
"To do so would be to fold this universe for the two realms to overlap. Aarim has already accomplished this with her tower but that's fuelled by the massive amounts of energy that Asharia provides. With just my energy source right now, especially with my divinity sealed, it'll be difficult to pull off but not impossible. If I can cut a few corners I can make this process easier. It's just a matter of finding which code corresponds to the universe we're in. Once that's done, I can adjust some of the other codes to make the core produce creation energy rather than destruction. The system encompasses both sides so it should already have the information for creation." Shiro muttered while cutting deeper into the core.
As she continued to cut into the core, she failed to realise the state of the god as her tampering had long destroyed his consciousness. In her hands, his core was now no different to an orb with lots of power. There was no god or being attached to that core anymore.
It was being changed into something that shouldn't exist on this side of the universe.
However, Shiro suddenly felt something off as she immediately released the seals in the room and shot a hole into the ceiling.
Throwing the core as high as she could, Shiro activated several magic circles and accelerated it into space.
*BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching the creation energy suddenly erupt from the core and wash the world with a bright light, Shiro frowned since the reaction was much faster than what she had expected. If she didn't feel that something wasn't right, she might have been consumed by the explosion. Looking up, she guessed that quite a few of her satellites were obliterated by the force even though they were reinforced by her divinity.
"Makes sense. I suppose when I grab energy from the creation side, I need something just as strong to counteract the creation energy. The core of that god only had small amounts of destruction, far from enough to actually balance it out. With the volatile nature of the energy, if I don't balance it quickly it'll explode immediately since this universe doesn't allow pure creation to exist." Shiro sighed as she realised her mistakes. Since she used the core of a god, she'll need to wait a while to obtain another sample like this.
The only reason why she was able to suppress him that easily was because he underestimated her, allowing her to set up her spells along with the fact that the god was weakened due to the system.
Since he could only have a slither of his power here, it was an easy task for her to teleport his core to her location using error. If he was here with 100% of his power, Shiro was afraid that it wouldn't be as easy. She might have to work a little harder.
Shaking her head, she dusted her hands before making her way out of the castle.
Looking at everyone that she had spared, Shiro could see complete fear in their eyes.
"Yikes, might have traumatised them a little too hard. Even those that are 'good' will certainly hate me since I killed their friends in front of their eyes." Shiro muttered before pulling out her phone.
Tapping Nan Tian's name, she called him so that he could help her clean up this mess she caused.
"If you're calling about cleaning up I'm already on the way with several people. They're handling Boden and his friends that you handed off to Kanae, anything else you need help with?" Nan Tian said as Shiro paused for a moment before chuckling.
"Thank you. Do you happen to bring some therapists with you?" Shiro asked.
"Yes, I've brought a few just in case you show them something gruesome."
"Well…. Perhaps we might need more than just a few. I may have slaughtered an entire city in front of their eyes." Shiro stuck her tongue out as Nan Tian sighed.
"Alright, I'll have them come quickly. What's your location?"
"Thanks I can always count on you. I'll send you to it now."
Cutting the call, Shiro sent Nan Tian the coordinates before pulling out Isvelger's notes and making some side notes for herself since she doesn't have access to what Isvelger had when he did his tests. She had to find alternative options.
