Chapter 755 Nyx and Gaia's Support
Taunting the Ancient Terror with her, it wasn't hard for the news to reach the people as they quickly evacuated all the villages that were in her path toward the Section of Night.
While she was dashing through the air with sweat dripping down her face, Shiro was trying her best to dodge the tentacles made from the pool of corruption since it was poisonous.
[What the hell is that!?] Quella's butterfly flew next to her.
"It's the Ancient Terror. Well his body. I stole his soul but his body is immortal. I'm taking him to where I did Nyx's Trial since there is a prison there that is very hard to escape from." Shiro replied while diving down to dodge a jaw that suddenly snapped towards her.
Turning around, she waved her hand as she started to terraform the land.
Opening up a giant chasm for the behemoth, she had several stone spikes pierce into his body and hold him in place for now.
[Do you need any help?] Quella asked as she knew that this was serious.
"Just keep evacuating the people and I'll be happy." Shiro replied as the behemoth climbed out of the chasm with ease. The stone spikes couldn't stop him for too long since his body was basically liquid. He could turn into a pool of corruption whenever he wanted.
Travelling across the land, the speed of their travel was quite shocking due to the Ancient Terror's large size.
Thankfully, it wasn't hard for the sisters to evacuate people as his large size made him easily be spotted. As long as people were smart, they'd run away at the first sight of him.
Halfway through their journey, Shiro watched as he spread open his wings and tried to fly
But with Ouranos' Divinity, she was able to stop this from happening.
If he started to fly, it would reduce the amount of time that people would get to evacuate the villages and cities.
Seeing the tower come closer, Shiro decided to go on ahead a little so that she could try to open up the prison again if she could.
After completing the trial and exiting the tower, there were still magical signs of the prison entrance but it was faint. She needed to reopen this and maybe even make it larger so that the Ancient Terror could actually fit in the portal.
Upon arrival, Shiro saw a faint figure of someone rather familiar.
"How the f*ck are you here?" Shiro asked as Nyx was waiting with her arms crossed and had a forced smile on her face.
"Why wouldn't I be here? You wanted to pass this behemoth into my hands." Nyx retorted with a roll of her eyes while Quella was confused by who this was.
[Who is that?] She asked curiously.
"It's Nyx. The owner of this tower." Shiro introduced as Nyx only smiled and waved her hand lightly.
[Ah!]
Pausing in shock, Quella was speechless as she didn't know what to say.
"Anyways I'm here with Gaia's help. Basically, I want to tell you that my prison wouldn't work with this guy. The only reason that the barrier works is that their soul is sealed with their body so they can't leave. Since he is just a husk, there's no way for my barrier to stop him."
"Sh*t! What the hell can I do then?" Shiro asked as she glanced back at the behemoth who was slowly approaching. His figure was obscured by the darkness but his presence could be felt with ease.
"Two choices so far. First choice is to give the soul back to the body and then we can seal it away. But if his soul is there, it means he can break out a little like what you did before. My prison isn't perfect, it's something I made for fun." Nyx explained.
"What's the second option then?"
"Find somewhere you can put him where no one would bother him and where he can't affect anyone."
"There's only space or a different dimension. But even then, people might hop into the dimension like I did." Shiro forced a smile as Nyx nodded.
"Exactly. Who the hell would think that he had gotten this powerful? I'm not kidding when I say his mortal body is indeed immortal. But he is mindless. So it'll be 'easy' to seal him away I guess." Nyx shook her head.
"Any tips on how I can do this?" Shiro forced a smile.
"Become a true demigod." Nyx shrugged.
"Pardon?"
"Did I stutter? I said become a true demigod. You can't become a god just yet but demi god is possible. Once you become a demigod, you'll gain access to your own divinity and that should help you take care of the behemoth."
"Ok how do I become a demigod and how would my divinity help? Does it somehow get rid of immortality?" Shiro asked.
"Nope. He has what we called True Immortality so the only way is to seal him away forever. As for how you become a demigod, I'm sure you already know the key. You just want me to confirm it don't you?" Nyx rolled her eyes.
Shrugging her shoulders with a small smile, Shiro brought out the jewel that she had gotten from Astryn.
"Bingo. There's a limit to the amount of information that I can give but that is your key." Nyx smirked as her figure flickered for a moment.
"Final gift before I leave. You should thank Gaia you know? You two are pretty similar and if not for the fact that she likes you I don't think you would've gotten this gift from her." Snapping her fingers, two orbs of light appeared in the space in front of them
"What is this?" Shiro asked as Nyx pushed the two orbs to Shiro.
"Two shards of our Primordial Essence. We're essentially giving you a part of what makes both me and Gaia gods so that you can attain demi god status at an earlier stage. Good luck." Nyx smiled as her body disappeared.
###
*COUGH!!
Coughing up some blood, Nyx's face was a little pale as Gaia rested her hand on her back as a light green energy wrapped around her.
"System backlash?" Gaia asked as Nyx nodded.
"Tch, stingy thing doesn't like what we're doing. But the trial is impossible without her becoming a demigod and obtaining her own divinity." Nyx shook her head as Gaia agreed.
"But at least we've given everything she needed. What happens next is up to her."
###
Furrowing her brows, Shiro looked towards Quella's butterfly.
"Is Yan near? If he is, see if he can delay the behemoth. If not then never mind."
[Ah er, he is in a different section. He won't be able to help you.]
"A shame then. Let's do this." Shiro took a deep breath and activated her True Spirit Nature.
Slamming her hand down, a giant magic circle expanded out above her as narrowed her eyes.
Frozen Slumber!
Suddenly, hundreds of chains descended from the magic circle as it started to freeze the Ancient Terror. While he may be able to shatter the ice quickly, it was sufficient enough to keep delaying his advances.
While the Ancient Terror was being delayed, Shiro glanced at the jewel and closed her eyes.
After Nyx transferred the Primordial Essences to her, Shiro could sense the energy within the jewel with more clarity. It had no element and was untainted.
The moment she touches this energy, it'll belong to her forever.
Clutching her hand, she gathered her energy in her fist and shattered the jewel.
Just as she did this, a pillar of light shot into the sky as time seemed to stop.
[Emergency.]
[Entity Shiro is about to attain Demi God Status as a Tier 5 Individual. She has obtained Gaia and Nyx's Support. Chaos has marked her. Several gods within the Greek pantheon have expressed their desire to help.]
[Administrator 4 has expressed his intent to support this upgrade.]
[Several Administrators have agreed as her reward was decreased in her previous upgrade.]
[With overwhelming support, the system shall grant her the role as the first ever Tier 5 Demi God despite previous decisions. She will now discover her Divinity.]
[Title: [Young Demi God] Has been granted.]

Finding herself in a white space, Shiro could see several orbs of light in front of her which flickered with light. The system was silent but she understood that this was her seeking out her divinity.
Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the first orb.
