Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 1139 - First Born Of Destruction



Snapping her eyes open, Aria clenched her fist.

*BANG!!!

Slamming it down on the table in front of her, she took a deep breath.

"If only Rokarn's body was a little stronger." Aria gritted her teeth before closing her eyes.

Opening them once more, her eyes changed as the sclera was dyed black. Her pupil and iris were neon red that seems to emulate a magic circle. In front of her, several notifications appeared as Aria was now able to see the notifications that usually isn't shown to the world.

[First Born of Destruction is recovering.]

[Her influences spreads through her court.]

[A Demi God rises up within the court.]

Seeing these three notifications, Aria narrowed her eyes.

With Shiro now recovering a shard of her old self, most of her methods of keeping Shiro weak will no longer work. Even if she was to do nothing, the shard of the First Born was too powerful. She'll get stronger with each passing day.

'Her ascension also sped up the new age. There are hardly people or Queens that are ready except for her party but the barrier between realms will be broken. Restrictions will be lifted and wars will be fought. The battle here has yet to end but it'll be carried to Earth once it finishes it's transformation.' Aria thought to herself while looking into the mirror.

'Plus, it wouldn't be that simple either. The monsters and the people near her will become more destructive…'

Looking out of the window, Aria remembered back to the worlds they visited including her home world. No matter what, everything was destroyed, such was the influence of the First Born of Destruction.

Shaking her head, Aria steeled her resolve.

Sensing someone approach her room, she deactivated her skill and opened the door.

"Aria." Aekari called out as Aria could tell that someone was weighing on his mind.

"Come in, we can talk inside."

Gesturing for Aekari to enter, Aria closed the door behind him.

Sitting by the window, Aekari looked out at the world.

"I… I'm thinking about talking to Nytri once the barrier is broken. Not to fight, not to kill but just to talk." Aekari started as Aria was silent.

"Is it about our daughter?" She asked as Aekari nodded her head.

"She can't go on like this. It's been far too long since she's had a physical body and her soul is beginning to degrade. Even if we give her a temporary container for her soul, it does little in terms of helping her soul heal." Aekari sighed as he turned around and faced Aria.

"While me and Nytri are indeed enemies, I… I want to give it a try. To see if there's a way for her to help our daughter out. It doesn't have to be Lisandra's body. It can be something else as long as our daughter's soul begin to heal. Even now, I have to admit that she is one of the smartest people I know or rather, used to know. She has pulled of feats that people didn't think was possible even if it was orchestrated by my hand." Aekari said as he clenched his fist.

"At the beginning of this journey, you showed me the vision of Nytri destroying everything around her. My desire to save this universe has not changed. However… I only have you and our daughter left. Everyone I know has either been enslaved by the system to act as monsters in a dungeon or were killed when the world was destroyed. Nytri has always been someone that is at least willing to lend an ear to listen to someone. I'm sure that if we were to talk in a weeks time when the barrier breaks, we can come to an understanding. It's risky but this is something I want to do for our daughter."

Hearing this, Aria was silent.

"Mn, if more people were to visit her, I'm sure she'll have her guard up so it's probably better for you to meet her alone." Aria sighed as she leaned against the table.

"That's true. Rest well, I'll go make my preparations to talk to Nytri." Aekari smiled and left the room.

Now that Aria was in the room by herself, she couldn't help but frown at Aekari's choice.

'I never should have had a daughter with him. She's become his weakness. I can't get rid of her by my own hands but perhaps I can rekindle his fury should she be slain by one of Shiro's companions.'

Opening her door, she glanced towards her daughter's room.

Sipping some tea, Anima looked towards Shiro who was no longer moving. She was face flat on the floor while the surroundings was repairing itself.

"I can see why you enjoyed training your friends. This does tickle the sadist within me." Anima chuckled as Shiro groaned in pain.

"Do you have to amplify the pain?" Shiro complained.

"Of course. This is to let you feel everything that you should have felt during the fight with Rokarn." Anima replied.

Clicking her tongue, Shiro flipped her body over and stared at the sky.

"Question. This just came to mind but since you mention that the ones who fall are our minions, does that mean we can control them?" Shiro asked as Anima thought for a moment and nodded her head.

"Yes. Those that lost their senses completely are mostly under our control. If we're not consciously controlling them, they would destroy everything in sight. As for those that are in the process of becoming fallen, we can choose to speed up that transformation by sharing our power with them." Anima replied.

"What about stopping it and returning them to normal?"

"You mean the Fallen Empress that you froze when you were fighting the crow?" Anima asked as Shiro nodded her head.

"Hmm… for her, I think it's possible. But it'll be hard. To put it bluntly, she is already a foot in the grave. More than half of her soul has already fallen to the corrupted side. All that remains is for her to finish the transformation. Before becoming fallen, the user's soul is balanced. Half is our power of destruction and the other half is their sense of self or rather, soul. Once they achieve their goal, this balance is tipped and they fall. For your friend, you halted the process before it is complete so there is a chance for you to help her. As for how you'll do that, I don't have a clue. I never really researched on how to help the people we corrupted when I was alive. But my best bet is for you to bring balance back to their soul. Either that means somehow removing the power of destruction from within or bring back their sense of self. But of course this is easier said than done." Anima smiled as Shiro nodded her head.

Suddenly, she was overwhelmed by fatigue as her vision started to blur.

Looking around her, Anima could see the realm begin to collapse as she guessed what was happening.

"Seems like the fusion process is starting. Your body has recovered enough for you to undergo this transformation I suppose." Anima chuckled as Shiro was barely able to respond.

"Regardless, it was nice talking to another version of me. I'm cheering for you." Anima smiled as Shiro's vision faded.

Sitting beside Shiro and keeping an eye on her health, Nan Tian was checking on what was happening to the world through the Argus Satellite system when he was suddenly overwhelmed by a suffocating presence.

Struggling for breath, he glanced towards Shiro and saw a black aura wrapping around her body. Looking at everyone else in the room, he could see that all of them had passed out now while Lisandra was wrapped in a strange black cocoon which continued to erode the barrier that Beelzebub placed around her.

Just as he was about to notify everyone, one of the Ancient Lords appeared in the med bay.

"Beelzebub." Nan Tian greeted as the demon nodded his head.

"I sensed that my barrier was suddenly attacked. I'll isolate the room so that the aura doesn't leak out."

Nodding his head, Nan Tian sent a message to everyone on the situation.

As he was doing this, a notification appeared in front of him. It was a message from Hemera.

[Goddess Hemera asked about what happened. A notification had spread through the realm of gods saying that the First Born of Destruction had begun its recovery and that it was already on Earth.]

"It'll be easier for me to explain if Nyx saw the situation and passed on the message." Nan Tian smiled helplessly as a tier 8 magic circle appeared in front of him.

Darkness stretched out from every corner to create a being of shadow.

[Avatar of Nyx]

Opening her eyes, Nyx turned towards the med bay.

"One of the Ancient Lords of Sin. Seems like much has changed. Though the biggest change is probably Shiro." Nyx muttered as Nan Tian nodded his head.

"Was she possessed by something? This doesn't look like Shiro at all." Nyx asked with a frown.

Confused by her words, he gestured for her to explain.

"What I mean is the source of this aura. It doesn't resemble Shiro at all. If I had to describe it, it'll be the same energy I sense with each reset of the world."

Furrowing her brows, Nyx didn't say anything else and left immediately.
