Chapter 1023 Evolved Spirits
Entering the path that would have led her to the mana realm, Shiro looked around in both confusion and anticipation as she could recognise the main island that she was walking on when she first entered the mana realm.
However, everything else was strangely empty. There were no attunement islands, no Nimue, Iziuel or Attie. Even the strands that represented her mana links were completely gone.
Furrowing her brows, she was about to call out when she felt a presence approach her from below.
Looking down at the ground with a frown, Shiro could feel the presence come closer as she took a step back and readied herself.
Suddenly, Shiro saw a dark shadow flash past the edge of the island before landing in front of her, unfortunately, the shadow tripped over as Shiro saw who it was.
It was a young man that looked like he was around his late teens.
With bright red hair and a pair of ruby eyes, he sat up and pouted slightly before looking at Shiro with an excited smile.
"Mum!" Atesh called out with a bright smile as he jumped over for a hug.
Catching him, Shiro couldn’t help but smile and pat his back.
"You’ve grown so big since the last I saw you. It’s a bit of a shame that I couldn’t watch you grow." Shiro chuckled as Atesh paused for a moment before taking a step back.
"Did you prefer me younger mum?" Atesh asked, looking down at his body but Shiro shook her head.
"Nope this is fine. Young you was cute but now my son is so handsome." Shiro chuckled, patting his head.
Previously, she could pat his head with ease but now she had to reach up slightly as Atesh had overtaken her in height.
"Sheesh. Couldn’t even wait a single moment to see his mum." A voice called out with a soft chuckle as Shiro could see Nimue walking up with a soft smile.
Her long blue hair seemed to float through the air as though it was water and the slightest movement would cause it to wave around. Gravity doesn’t seem to affect her hair as she gave Shiro a light wave.
"It’s been a while. I’ll be honest, this evolution took much longer than it should have. Not that I was expecting it of course. I didn’t even know it was possible but here we are." Nimue chuckled.
"Where Iziuel?" Shiro asked, giving Nimue a hug.
"She’s just down below, redecorating a little since this place is much bigger than what we expected." Nimue gestured behind her.
"Below?"

"Yup. This is just a single floating island. The main body of land is beneath this island. Come, we’ll show you." Nimue smiled as Atesh pulled on her hand eagerly. Despite looking like he was in his late teens, Shiro couldn’t help but see Atesh as a small bunny that wanted to show her something amazing.
Following the two to the edge of the island, Shiro glanced down and widened her eyes in shock.
Beneath this island was a giant continent with a myriad of environments that matched her attunements.
Towards the north was the volcanic mountains followed by sections filled with nothing but lightning.
Nanotech could be seen in the centre of this new mana realm as an energy tower could be seen, generating a golden energy that flowed through the land.
Understanding that it was probably Divine Energy, Shiro could see the land shifting near the water area.
Narrowing her eyes, she was able to spot Iziuel who was in a similar state to Nimue.
"After evolving, we all got a notification. We didn’t get divinity but we were quite close." Nimue chuckled.
Raising her eyebrows, she inspected both Nimue and Atesh.
[Nimue – Divine Aspect of Water]
[Atesh – Divine Aspect of Fire]
"We’ve become something called Divine Aspects and it’s a state that’s just short of becoming a Demi God like you. Of course, we can also access very marginal amounts of divine energy with our respective elements but I think the most benefit is the passives we bring now that our evolution is done. You might want to check your attunements." Nimue chuckled.
Taking her advice, Shiro glanced at her recent notification and saw a total of 4 notifications.
[Dark Celestial Phoenix Fire (Tier 6) -> Aspect of Fire (Tier 7)]
[Oceanic Abyss (Tier 6) -> Aspect of Water (Tier 7)]
[Nature (Tier 6) -> Aspect of Life (Tier 7)]
[Passive gained: Aspect of Fire, Aspect of Water, Aspect of Life.]
All of her attunements linked to her contracted Spirits had been upgraded to tier 7 and she had gained passive skills linked to them. All of the skills were the same but with the change of elements however, they were outrageous in their own rights.
[Aspect of Fire/Water/Life]
You are immune to Fire/Water/Life based spells below tier 7. The mana used on these skills will only refill your mana and boost your spell power for a short period of time.
It was a simple description but this was enough to tell her how powerful it was. Now that she was immune to fire, water and life based skills below tier 7, it meant that Queens and Empresses that use skills that are linked to these three elements will no longer have effect on her.
Looking at this in speechlessness, Shiro didn’t know how to react as Nimue only chuckled.
"Want a table?" She offered as Shiro shook her head.
"I think I’ll be fine. Also, Estrella has been missing all of you since she wasn’t able to enter the mana realm while it was being upgraded."
"I figured. Even though we were undergoing upgrades. We could still see what was going on. I know you’re making progress but I still want to tell you to not blame yourself too harshly. There’s still a chance that we can get her back." Nimue smiled as she hugged Shiro.
Surprised that they saw everything, Shiro closed her eyes and returned the hug.
"Mn. I’ll try not to."
"But did you know that during the entire process, Attie was essentially glaring daggers at Nan Tian. He wanted to accompany you but since he was restrained by his evolution, he couldn’t do anything but watch."
"Well at least he protected mum and stayed by her side properly." Atesh glanced to the side as Shiro couldn’t help but smile.
"Also, about that voice you heard with Chronos. We don’t know exactly what happened but it seemed like Error had a small reaction. However, after that event, there wasn’t another peep out of him. Completely silent. There’s a small part dedicated to Error but there isn’t much to be seen there. Just a single altar that has a tree created from circuits being grown." Nimue said as she pointed towards the far east.
Narrowing her eyes, Shiro could faintly see the rest tree created from circuits that Nimue had mentioned just now.
"Hm... regardless of who that voice belonged to, they called me mother, which is quite a respectful address. I think we’ll find out in the future but right now it seems like the most likely candidate is Error." Shiro nodded her head.
"Mum, there’s not much else to be seen in here. Aunt Iziuel is redecorating so let’s leave and let her do her thing. I want to see big sis Yin and big sis Lisa." Atesh suggested as Shiro nodded her head.
"Alright. You can come out more often now that you’re grown up. I can’t keep you in the mana realm forever now can I?" Shiro smiled but Atesh shook his head.
"It’s not bad in here. Aunt Iziuel and Granny Nimue look after me and I can help you whenever you’re in danger" Atesh smiled happily as Nimue felt like a vein was already about to burst.
"So courageous now that you’re grown up huh? Who the hell are you calling Granny??? Iziuel is older than me for god sake and if you’re talking about skin and stress, blame that mother of yours! If I wasn’t a spirit I would have become bald from the stress she gives me!" Nimue crossed her arms and complained as Atesh shrugged.
"Mum is innocent. Don’t blame her just because you look old." Atesh replied, hiding behind Shiro as Nimue felt like she was about to become the Aspect of Wrath rather than water.
"Alright alright, stop bullying your aunty now. She’s helped me a lot." Shiro laughed as Atesh smiled.
"Fine. Great aunt then."
"Come here you little sh*t!" Nimue gritted her teeth as Atesh ran away with Nimue chasing behind him.
"They seem lively as ever." Iziuel floated over with a smile as Shiro nodded her head.
"Mn, they are. I missed you lot. Not hearing you in my mind becomes surprisingly boring." Shiro laughed as Iziuel shrugged.
"True. They weren’t able to move around much when we were evolving so this is months of practically zero movement." Iziuel chuckled.
"Well then. I have some good news. There’s an event in a few days. I think it’s a good time to have three almost Demi Gods making an appearance don’t you think so?" Shiro smiled.
