Chapter 756 Unique Divinity
The first orb was chill to the touch. It would crystallise the moment she approached it and she understood that it represented ice.
'Is the divinities being chosen from the elements I have control over? But there are people with divinities that have nothing to do with elements too.' Shiro furrowed her brows.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but wonder if her habit of targeting the weakness could become a divinity too.
"Hmm… I don't think I pierced enough asses for it to become a divinity." She muttered.
Shaking her head, she approached the second orb.
Crackling with red lightning, the orb lashed out at everything around her but seemed to calm down once she was near.
"So this is lightning." Shiro smiled while glancing over at the other orbs.
There were a total of 12 excluding the two that she had just approached.
Understanding that they represented each of her elements with the exception of the 12thone, she approached it with curiosity.
The moment she approached it, the orb lit up with a turquoise flame and she understood what it was. It was a divinity related to her status as a spirit.
Looking at her divinities, her main focus was on her Nanotech element. While she may use the other elements and even study up on souls, her main element was still Nanotech. It was similar to the power of creation as she can make anything she wanted to, as long as she had a deep understanding of it. Which meant that she can make diamonds without anyone able to tell the difference.
And the moment they touch the diamond it could turn into a gun if Shiro wanted it to.
Plus, it was the power that she was most familiar with.
'If I chose this, it should help me deal with this behemoth.' Shiro thought to herself since this divinity should return the use of nanobots to her. Once she gets this, she could easily send the behemoth to space.
Taking a deep breath, she reached out towards the orb representing Nanotech without hesitation.
*KRRR!!!!
The moment she grabbed it, she could feel a flow of energy entering her body from the orb as a familiar sensation spread through her body.
Flexing her fingers, a hand cannon appeared in her hand as her lips curled up into a grin.
Just as she created this gun, she could feel her body heat up as runes started to appear on her arm.
Despite her pain tolerance, she couldn't help but grit her teeth as the searing pain travelled up her arm.
Feeling as though her body was being ripped apart, Shiro held back a cry of pain as the runes glowed with a silver blue light.

Looking at the pillar of light, Quella became nervous since the Behemoth was travelling closer and closer.
'Come on…' She muttered in her mind as they were a little pressed for time right now. Even the delays that Shiro had put in the behemoth's path failed to hold up due to his body shifting to a liquid state.
*BOOM!!!!!
As if the pillar of light had hit the ceiling, a ring of golden energy exploded out in the sky as stars started to light up.
Linking to each other with thin tethers, Quella watched in silence as the energy she could feel from Shiro started to change. It slowly changed into something that resembled the feeling one got from the towers but at the same time it was slightly different.
*BANG!
Shattering the pillar of light, Shiro stood in the middle with her eyes closed.
Stumbling forward a little, Shiro tried her best to not fall over as the pain she had gone through felt worse that even the experiments she had experienced in her first life.
[Shiro! Are you ok? What happened?] Quella called out as Shiro glanced towards her.
"Nothing much. I'll talk later, I feel like I'm about to pass out at any moment so I'll deal with this behemoth first." Shiro forced a smile and turned towards the behemoth who was making his way towards her rapidly.
Taking a deep breath, Shiro aimed two fingers at the behemoth and narrowed her eyes.
Just as she did this, nanobots started to appear around her as they morphed into large rail cannons in front of Nyx's tower.
'Pulling the trigger', Shiro watched as all the cannons fired in tandem and the upper half of the behemoth was evaporated in an instant.
*KSHHH!!!
Realising that he was now missing his upper half, the behemoth's body twitched for a moment before flesh started to regrow.
Unfortunately for him, nanobots were already in his body.
Clasping her hands together, Shiro took a deep breath and activated the nanobots.
Suddenly, a swarm of silver exploded out from the monster's body as Shiro knew what was happening but that was just to delay things for a little while.
Snapping her fingers, a cage started to appear as several thrusters could be seen around the cage.
Since he was immortal, she might as well have him drift forever into space.
Without hesitation, she activated the thrusters.
Watching this all happen, Quella was speechless as she didn't know what kind of power this was.
She didn't want to say anything just yet either since Shiro was focusing right now. If she distracted her, things might go south.
Forcing herself to stay awake, Shiro had to fight against the pain that she could still feel in her body while sending the behemoth to space. If she stopped, it could suddenly fall back down like a meteor.
Sensing the position of the behemoth, Shiro wanted it to drift forever but not towards a planet since that'd defeat the purpose. If anything,she'd lock it up in the far reaches and make sure the thrusters stop it from drifting to a planet.
Once the behemoth was out of the atmosphere, Shiro could see its entire body start to bubble and boil as he was mostly made from liquid. In space, with the low pressure, liquid would boil rather than freeze.
Narrowing her eyes, she took a deep breath and upgraded the thrusters. She didn't want to use it at first since it would have caused quite a bit of damage but now that it was in space, she didn't need to worry.
Setting it up so that the nanobots could automate themselves thanks to them constantly consuming the behemoth's body which would regenerate indefinitely, Shiro knew that the thrusters would make it impossible for the behemoth to land on a different planet.
With her main worry sorted, Shiro sighed in relief before collapsing on the ground.
Curling her body into a foetal position, Quella could see her body shivering as cold sweat poured from her head.

"Seems like the real test is happening now." Nyx muttered. Normally, the process ends once the light shatters but Shiro was there still experiencing the change.
"Do you think it's because she chose that strange element?" Gaia frowned as Nyx nodded her head.
"We also gave her our primordial essence so it's going to take a while for her to digest it." Nyx shrugged.
But while the two were thinking about what happened, Nyx sighed before turning around. Suddenly, two portals opened up as both Ouranos and Tartarus appeared before her.
"What brings you two here?" Nyx smiled.
"You know why we're here. Why did you give a part of your Primordial essence to the mortal?" Ouranos frowned.
"Because she needed it, why else?" Nyx shrugged.
"Not only did you harm yourself but you're also harming her. Do you know the consequences of having primordial essences as the first materials when ascending to godhood?! Look at her! Her body is being broken down constantly!" Ouranos pointed at the shivering Shiro.
"I understand why you want to help her for the future but think about it first. Her unique element is already powerful enough as it is. I think she could have ascended to godhood even without your essences but now that you have given two primordial essences to her, her body is trying its best to digest the power but this is something lower classed gods can't handle. What makes you think she can?!"
"Ouranos. Do you know what the main property of her nanobots is?" Nyx asked with a smile.
"What?"
"Consumption. They consume, recycle, repurpose and refine themselves. What do you think will happen if her nanobots consume and refine themselves with the essence of two primordial gods?" Nyx grinned.
"!!!" Widening his eyes, Ouranos looked at Nyx like she was crazy. Despite her power, Nyx wanted to make Shiro into a monster even amongst the strongest gods.
