Chapter 2003: Three Pure Ones

Nathan agreed to all their requests. The first thing they needed to do was to get away from this area as soon as possible. He didn’t want any more trouble, while trying to prevent his twisted luck from creating any more trouble.

"In that case, let’s discuss what we should do next." Nathan took a deep breath before explaining, "First of all, I have a few suggestions for all of you who want to summon your familiars.

"However, since Alavenya thinks that Shiva is also good, then let’s summon him. In a way, I intend to suggest Shiva as one of the options to Alavenya, but I thought Chiyou would be a better choice for a while. After all, Shiva is considered one of the strongest gods.

"While I don’t have to worry about you being crushed by him, he’s just... Well, how do I say this?"

Garuda helped Nathan. "If I have to explain it with my master’s words, then Shiva is a chill guy. You need to be ready to bother him but not too much just to ask him to fight.

"However, with the current situation where Lord Vishnu is gone, I think Shiva will be quite excited about it. Just make sure that you don’t get dragged to his pace."

Nathan nodded. "Thank you. Shiva is known as the destroyer. He is known for the destruction of the old cosmic cycle, but how do I say this... it’s kind of an exaggeration. The cosmic cycle should be about the solar system, not the entire universe."

Nathan had to clarify it first because if Shiva was that strong, he wouldn’t have lost to the aliens.

In a way, the myth was written using the perceptions of humans. As a result, they exaggerated the scales, thinking the solar system was their entire universe.

So, it was understandable why they were confused, but it didn’t change the fact that Shiva was that powerful.

"He possesses a third eye that represents supreme wisdom and insight. So, I don’t think Alavenya will have a problem with Shiva."

Alavenya nodded with a serious expression. "I’m ready to do that, but how do I summon him?"

"Garuda and Ananta will help you to draw out Shiva."

"How about me?" Noelle raised her hand. "I want to summon Erlang Shen."

"Erlang Shen is indeed a good choice. He’s the chief commander of the army of Heaven, so he is experienced and wise. It will be a good addition to you, Noelle."

"I know I’m not exactly the brightest, but I’m slightly worried because he was the commander, right? If that’s the case, he might not serve me as his summoner."

"Not exactly." Nathan shook his head. "Just take advantage of his revenge, and you will be good. He must be regretting the fact that he died in the first battle without being able to do anything. Even though there’s no army here, we can still fight with an elite team."

Machina raised her hand. "I can make an army. It won’t be an army of deities, but they might be able to serve as his army."

"An army of androids... That might be quite useful. I wonder if Erlang Shen has an ability related to the army, but we’ll summon him first and get the confirmation later." Nathan nodded. "As for the summoning, I guess the easiest way is to use his divine artifact. The problem will be..."

Nathan turned to Iris and Luna.

"I have other artifacts, so you don’t have to worry about it. Besides, I have analyzed that spear, so I think I’m good." Luna waved her hand.

"If it’s just the army of Heaven, I can use the creation and transmutation to help Machina about it."

"Good. Let’s summon him later." Nathan agreed. "Anything you want to ask about Erlang Shen?"

"No."

Nathan turned to Evelyn. "How about you, Evelyn? Do you have anything in mind?"

"I don’t personally care about who will be my next familiar. All I wish is for them to be strong. It’s not like I’ll ask them to teach me about it. At most, I’ll ask you to teach me." Evelyn shrugged.

She had been studying through Machina’s knowledge, so that was probably what she needed the most. Once her mastery reached a certain level, she could start going for the true god level.

Nathan nodded in understanding. "If that’s the case, then I do have a few people in mind.

"Well, you can try Shakti or Devi. She’s a primordial cosmic energy, divine feminine power, creation, and destruction. She’s portrayed as the ultimate root of all existence, from whom even the Trimurti, such as Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, derive their forms and abilities.

"However, I’m not exactly sure about this one because she is also known as a wrathful manifestation."

Garuda thought for a moment. "I don’t think you can summon her."

Why is that?" Nathan frowned.

"Even during the battle against the aliens, I didn’t see her. There’s a chance that she might just be a legend. And if she’s a wrathful manifestation, it might harm the group. While if this is true means she is a strong addition, it might become a double-edged sword. It’s much worse than Loki’s situation."

"..."

Nathan looked down, contemplating. "In that case, Zeus? But we have Nyx. It will be easier to control Zeus with Nyx here, but I’m afraid it might cause a different kind of synergy.

"However, it’s true that Zeus is extremely strong. If not, then Amaterasu might be a good option. She’s known as the supreme sun goddess.

"I want to suggest Brahma, but I wonder if that’s the best option."

"Brahma is a good option, unless you have something else to suggest. As for Amaterasu, how many sun gods do you want? I mean, there are many sun gods like Jinwu. Are you going to summon Ra as well?"

Nathan carefully considered it before coming up with something. "If Evelyn wants to get much stronger, why limit the summoning to one god?"

"You’re going to summon all of them?"

"No. I’m thinking about the synergy. Three Pure Ones."
