Chapter 1209 - Ideal Creation
Thinking to herself, Shiro figured that she could probably emulate the creation nanobots to some degree. Now that she understood what parts are needed for the creation nanobots, it was a small matter to recreate them. With her mastery over nanobots, removing the parts that were heavily influenced by creation was possible.
Though it would also decrease her powers by a lot. Especially considering the fact that her main class of nanotech goddess was based off of her destruction type nanobots.
Glancing at her secondary class, Shiro narrowed her eyes.
"Alright, I think I have a plan. While we're waiting for Nan Tian to come over, I think I should try advance my second class so it matches my main class. The power may be lacking but it's a step towards the right direction." Shiro grinned.
"Though of course I'll be making a few minor changes considering the fact that I don't like the creation based nanobots. I'll add some parts of destruction into it with the help of a notebook left by an old friend of mine. I won't infuse that much destruction but just make it so that the soul is purified then recycled rather than stored then used." Shiro explained as she stood up and made a clearing in the middle of the room.
Appearing beside her, Nimue had a blank expression on her face.
"Hais…. I'll keep your body intact. Even with Jormungandr's help there will still be strain on you. I suggest you incorporate the nanobots inside your body to help your progression otherwise they might just kill you halfway through." Nimue sighed heavily as Shiro gave her a thumbs up.
"Don't worry I know. I'll also be counting on Error since I plan to do something with the source codes of these nanobots." Shiro chuckled.
Carving Jormungandr's crest on the floor, she channelled the mana through the room and started to manipulate the nanobots.
Snapping her fingers, she started to move the room to the top of the tower so that she could use a few… special features of her tower.
Arriving on the roof of the tower, Shiro took a deep breath and gestured for Aarim to stand back.
"I'll keep my spell prepared in case anything goes wrong ok?"
Nodding her head, Shiro waved her finger and undid the seal within her body.
Immediately, a sword pierced her chest causing her to cough up blood. More blades started to appear one after the other but Shiro ignored the pain and slammed her hand down. A magic array started to light up around her as several buildings around Asharia started to transform into small towers that hummed with power.
Extracting the mana out of her body, Shiro activated Error and her arm turned black with red circuits.
"You know what to do don't you Error." Shiro smiled as Error nodded his head.
"You only have a short moment. Once that moment has passed, you'll lose control of my power again so try fit everything in that moment." Error warned as Shiro nodded her head. Closing her eyes, she allowed the circuits expand across her body as she summoned Iriel with her left hand.
Stabbing it into the ground, a pulse of green energy exploded out, slowing down the time within the area.
Using this moment, Shiro plunged her right hand into her chest. Circuits started to latch onto the nanotech blades that were trying to kill her.
Activating Analysis Ex, Shiro scanned the nanobots and managed to find the source code she wanted to change.
For elements like creation and destruction, compatibility with the caster plays a big part. In addition to this, Pure Creation has to be offset by Pure Destruction or else it never works. By inserting some aspects of destruction within the code of these nanobots, it strips them of the 'Pure Creation' and in theory, should allow Shiro to survive. Right now, she was in a state where she is not Pure Destruction so using Pure Creation would cause the balance to be tipped.
That is why her simulated creation energy achieved with Error worked as it balanced out with her innate nature.
There's also the problem of compatibility. Once Shiro realised how Creation Worked through these nanobots, she knew that she would have low compatibility. There were very few she would wish upon the fate of never reincarnating as most of the enemies she killed would still be allowed to reincarnate.
'How should I edit this…' Shiro thought to herself as she didn't want to introduce too much destruction element into the code.
Visualising what she thinks about creation, Shiro wanted to rewrite it so that it's more forgiving rather than being worst than destruction.
To her, creation should be something that purifies but does not assimilate. It should be forgiving, purifying the soul so that they can have a second chance at life. Something that should allow them a chance at redemption. A warm energy to counter the cold destruction that she possesses.
Creation should be akin to a mother's warm embrace, something to wipe away the sins and give one comfort.
Opening her eyes, Shiro took a deep breath and started to adjust the course code. The Creation type nanobots should of course retain their attack power but they will now attempt to purify the soul. Should the target earnestly wish for a second chance at life and do good, they would then heal them. To embrace her idea version of creation would be to give anyone and everyone a second chance.
However, just as she was about to finish her adjustments, an illusionary figure appeared in front of her. A familiar face that belonged to someone who has committed countless crimes and treated human life like it was nothing. Aekari.
Could she give him a second chance?
"Hell no."
Feeling the rejection of the creation nanobots, Shiro understood that to properly use these nanobots, she had to forgive Aekari and be willing to give him a second chance. That's what was required of her should she wish to master her ideal version of Creation energy.
Gritting her teeth, Shiro was forced on her knees as Aarim was about to cast her spell but Shiro waved her hand.
"Don't! I've got it handled!" She shouted out.
"Are you sure??? It doesn't look handled!" Aarim shouted back but Shiro didn't respond.
Closing her eyes, she dived into her mana realm where Error was helping Nimue keep everything intact.
"I know what you're thinking and you should get to it quickly. You should find it in the deepest parts recovering." Nimue called out as Shiro nodded.
Diving down, she passed the continents that represent her attunements. In the distance, she could see an orb of light, pulsing wildly as it started to resonate with the creation energy that was running through her body.
Currently, the orb of light was sitting above Shiro's soul sword.
"Silvanis!" Shiro shouted out as the orb flew towards Shiro.
"It's a little early but I think you should like this." Shiro smiled.
Opening her eyes, she raised her left arm and summoned her incomplete soul sword that was now wrapped with a white energy instead of black.
Taking a deep breath, she decided to use Silvanis as a medium for the creation energy. Silvanis was still a young weapon spirit so it had the capacity to forgive. Something that resonated with her ideal version of creation. With Iriel acting as the blade of destruction, Silvanis would now act as a blade of creation.
A blade that will grant you salvation and redemption.
Stabbing her soul sword down, Shiro gritted her teeth and ripped out the nanobots that was trying to tear her apart. Placing it on top of the blade, she channelled Jormundangr's energy into the sword in order for the two to fuse.
###
After recovering from Shiro's stunt last time, Jormungandr was finally allowed to rest. After bidding farewell to his mother, he had enjoyed his time being free from stress.
However, a bad feeling appeared in his heart as Loki knocked on his door.
"You might need to borrow my lap again." Loki chuckled as Jormungandr tilted his head.
Suddenly, he felt an unrelenting suction force, draining him of all his energy as tears threatened to spill out from his eyes.
"Mother, I don't want the contract with her anymore." Jormungandr cried out as Loki patted his head while watching what Shiro was doing in interest.
For her to create something such as a blade of creation in the realm of destruction, the energy needed was exorbitant. Even with Jormungandr's help, it was almost impossible.
However, to her surprise, she noticed a figure that started to open a portal. The Ruler of the Beyond, Juri. Waving her hand, the mana within the realm of the beyond poured into space around Asharia as she closed her eyes and waited for the promised time.. Shiro had promised her help in the future, giving her some or the realms mana was a small price.
