Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 963 Out of Time

Chapter 963 Out of Time

Walking towards Hemera’s realm nervously, Nyx couldn’t help but wonder if this was the right choice. It wasn’t that she doubted Gaia but she wondered if all Hemera wanted was her company.

It felt simple.

She was a goddess that had lots of people noticing her even amongst gods so the fact that all she wanted company was a little surprising even for her.

However, she was willing to give it a go even if it was wrong since she had indeed neglected her daughter for too long.

Opening a pathway, she halted her steps when she saw Hemera sitting on the floor with tears in her eyes.

Feeling pain in her heart, Nyx didn’t know what came over her mind but the next thing she knew she was already hugging Hemera who was sitting on the ground.

Opening her mouth, she muttered two words.

"I’m sorry."

Without saying another word, she tried her best to calm Hemera down.

Surprised at her mother’s sudden appearance, Hemera didn’t think she’d come back and tried to stop her crying.

But no matter what her tears continued to fall. Since it was rare for Nyx to give her this much attention, Hemera decided to enjoy it for now.

’It’s not like she’ll come back for me anymore after this is done.’ She thought to herself.

Staying in Nyx’s embrace, it took her a while to fully calm herself as she took a few breaths before looking up at Nyx who had a pained expression on her face.

"Why did you come back mum? If it’s about Shiro then don’t worry, I’ll help." Hemera asked, preparing herself mentally.

’Mum’s probably going to leave now that her goal has been reached.’ She thought to herself but to her surprise, Nyx sighed.

"Gaia’s right, I’ve been neglecting you too much. I’m sorry. I don’t know how to be a good mother and I’m sure your siblings feel the same. I don’t know what to say and I can be called dull in this area." Nyx sighed heavily as Hemera was surprised that her mother was being so open.

"If you want, you can join the rest of us while we’re observing Shiro. She’s the lifeline of the world right now so if she dies, everything else dies with her." Nyx offered since she couldn’t exactly set aside her job of looking after Shiro.

Hearing this, Hemera felt like a vein was about to pop but considering the personality of her mother, it was already a miracle that she’s trying to spend more time with her.

"Fine but after this new age is done and Shiro wins, you have to spend more time with the rest of us ok?" Herema pouted as Nyx raised her eyebrow before smiling and nodded her head.

"Hais, with how dense you are mother, we’ll need to tell you what we want directly." Hemera said with a smile as she stood up.

"But that’s fine, we got a few thousand years after the new age to sort everything out." She glanced back and grinned.

Seeing this, Nyx chuckled softly before standing up.

"Mn, mother’s a bit stupid when comes to parenting so you’ll have to help." Nyx nodded before opening a portal to the tea party.

Scratching her head, Shiro furrowed her brows at the giant body of the weapon.

With all of the components completed, she just needed to balance it out and install the dungeons that Isilia had created.

Once the dungeons were installed, they’ll be able to fire this weapon.

While this weapon couldn’t be seen from Earth due to the barriers covering the sky, Shiro could imagine that this would look like a second moon due to its cylindrical shape.

There was a single barrel that stretched for hundreds of meters. It had an array of densely packed machinery connecting to ports located along the body of the barrel.

Large coils could be seen behind the weapon as it had empty spots within them to fit the dungeons once Shiro installed them into the weapon.

Folded solar panels were fitted behind the coils as it would help them focus the sun’s power into one spot.

Each meter of the barrel was filled with densely packed runes that Shiro had discovered through her life. All of them had only one goal and that was to amplify and concentrate all of the power within the weapon into a single spot.

Connected to the sides of the weapon were orbital rail cannons that would funnel their power into the main barrel.

Composed of 50 Orbital Rail Cannons, 100+ Dungeon Batteries, 100+ Folded Solar Panels of the highest efficiency. 50 Mk 7 Ambient Mana Absorbers and a myriad of other components, all she needed to do now was power the entire thing. However, accomplishing this was going to be no easy feat as the energy required for this construct could power Asharia for a few months with it operating with maximum output and firing all of its weapons everyday.

She could only obtain the energy needed with the assistance of Divine Energy along with the party’s help.

Furthermore, the power of this weapon will be multiplied once more after Madison applies her berserk skills.

Stretching her body, Shiro was about to prepare herself when she felt a sudden increase of mana from below.

Glancing down, she widened her eyes seeing the swirl of power that was changing the world with each passing moment.

"What the f*ck!" Shiro shouted out in surprise as her outburst drew the attention of everyone else around her.

Looking down, they widened their eyes in shock since this was much earlier than expected. The weapon wasn’t completed and yet the relic was already appearing. Aiming for it would be much harder unless they’re able to stop it from moving.

"This isn’t good. Nan Tian, Madi, Lisa, Isilia! We’re speeding up the preparation! Any more delay and I won’t have a good shot of the relic!" Shiro shouted out as she slammed her hands together.

Closing her eyes, her aura flared out as countless tier 8 magic circles appeared around her.

Golden chains appeared around her body as they started to break one by one.

Gritting her teeth, Shiro grabbed the chain around her neck and ripped it off with brute force.

Ascending to tier 8, her hair fluttered behind her as a silver aura surrounded her body.

Slamming her hand against the surface of the weapon, she started to flood it with energy as Nan Tian nodded his head and positioned himself at the back of the weapon.

Taking a deep breath, he slammed his hands together as hundreds of tier 6 magic circles appeared around him.

"Huh? Wait we’re doing this now!?" Madison widened her eyes.

"YES! The relic is appearing! We don’t have time anymore!" Shiro shouted out since there was no way in hell that she was going to let such a relic run rampant!

Seeing that Shiro was shouting, Madison didn’t say anything else and nodded her head.

For her to shout, the situation was more serious than she had imagined.

Taking a deep breath, Madison activated every single berserk skill she was in possession of and funnelled its power into the weapon itself.

Layers upon layers of tier 6 magic circles appeared on the barrier as the energy started to amplify even before firing.

Closing her eyes, Shiro controlled all of the energy to flow towards the dungeon batteries so that she can condense everything at once rather than in a flow.

There wasn’t much time to do the balancing so she could already hear the structure of the weapon creek. However, since she was now a god of nanotech, she could reinforce the weapon to the limit.

Snapping her finger, the creaking stopped immediately as a golden crest appeared on the side.

Arriving at the tea party, Nyx was about to say something when she realised that Shiro was already charging the weapon.

"What the hell happened when I was gone???" Nyx asked as she quickly jogged to the table and looked at the screens while Hemera followed behind her with a serious expression since her mother wasn’t one to get fl.u.s.tered like this.

Little did she know, Shiro had already caused her to become fl.u.s.tered on more than one occasion.

"The relic is appearing much earlier than expected. The Dragon Empress has pushed back a few Queens but there are still plenty more around the place." Chronos replied as Nyx furrowed her brows.

"Call all the gods that are on our side, we’ll need their help now!" Nyx ordered as Chronos nodded his head.

"Hemera, could I trouble you to help that man in this video? He’s the one focusing the light so he’ll need your power." Nyx asked as she pointed at Nan Tian.

"Sure." Hemera smiled.

Walking a little further away from the table, Hemera closed her eyes as a golden radiance appeared around her body.

Her figure shimmered for a moment before divine energy gathered towards Nan Tian.

With portals opening around the tea party, Nyx glanced at all the gods that they had convinced and took a deep breath. Since Shiro had already entered tier 8, they were already on a short timer.
