Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Returning back to the research base, Shiro could see that most of the monsters have stopped spawning. Those that were still appearing were taken care of quickly by the mech pilots while everyone focused on clean up.

Seeing Shiro, Yin and Lisandra together, the party rushed over.

"Wait what happened?" Madison asked as she immediately noticed how weak Shiro's aura had become.

Before Shiro could even respond, Nimue appeared, clearly annoyed.

"She was attacked from behind by someone that could control nanobots. We're guessing she's from the side of creation so her attack was extra potent on Shiro. She's managed to halt the nanobots for now but she has to keep the seal up at all times." Nimue huffed as Shiro scratched her head.

"Let me have a look at your wounds." Silvia sighed but Shiro shook her head.

"It's fine, I can't exactly remove these from my body either. Plus, they're good for research. I was stumped on how to fuse my own nanobots with creation so this might be the hint I need. But let's not talk about that for now. How's the egg?"  Shiro asked curiously.

"No changes. It seems like its growth had been halted with whatever you did in space. However, halted wouldn't be the right term. It would be more accurate to say that it's slowed down considerably. It's still absorbing as much mana as it can." Nan Tian said as furrowed his brows at Shiro's condition.

"Well that's good then. Are you able to get some of the mechs to transport some nanobots to the base? I want to set up here while Asharia stays out of sight for now in case any gods decide to pay us a visit. Considering that Poseidon was here earlier, I wouldn't ignore the possibility of more gods." Shiro smiled.

"Mn, alright." Nan Tian nodded as he knew that Shiro wanted to lay down for a while. Not just to recover her wounds but to experiment on her new test subjects as well.

"I'll set up your lab as well so that you can start whenever you're ready."

Hearing this, Shiro blinked her eyes in surprise before nodding her head.

"I'll be troubling you then."

Seeing Nan Tian disappear, Shiro turned to Yin and Lisandra.

"As for you two, care to tell me a little about your adventures while Yin makes me something tasty to eat? I am craving her cooking." Shiro grinned as Yin chuckled and nodded her head.

"Sure, but I haven't cooked much so there might be a higher chance of failure which'll kill your taste buds instead." Yin shrugged.

Splitting the team for now so that they can get more work done, Shiro, Nan Tian, Yin and Lisandra made their way to the med bay in the research station. Beside the med bay, Nan Tian started to reconstruct Shiro's lab that she had in Asharia. After all, she wanted to be near the egg for when it does hatch eventually.

Plus, she's slowed down its growth so there was no telling what that might have done to the egg.

While Nan Tian was making the lab, Yin was cooking some food near while Lisandra was talking about what they had been up to.

"After I woke up, it was a bit hard to move around since my body was on the verge of becoming a fallen. Breathing was hard, moving was hard and in general my body was in pain. Since the transformation was halted, I was stuck in a state between normal and fallen. However, unlike Syradil, it wasn't a stable state. My body was healing and crumbling away at the same time. With the help of Beelzebub, we managed to stabilise my body temporarily but it wasn't a long lasting solution. Therefore, Yin visited different libraries in the world and looked for any books that might be able to help. Eventually we found a book that led us to a special dungeon that was related to gods and angels. It was originally located in Vatican City but the location moved a few decades ago and not many knew where it was…"

###

*BANG!!!!

Slamming the door open, Yin burst into Lisandra's room.

"Sis! I found something that might be able to help. Look! This book spoke of fallen angels and normal angels. With your body state, this might be what you need. The original location of the dungeon should be in Vatican City but it's not there anymore. Want to come with me to look for any clues? If we're lucky we should be able to find some hints. If not, we can probably raid some religious sites that have ties with angels." Yin said as she sat next to Lisandra's bed.

"Mn sure, though I don't think I can fight anyone in my current state. Wouldn't I be a burden?" Lisandra asked with a sigh. Flinching slightly from the pain, she tried to relax her body as much as she could. In her current state, even the simple act of signing caused her a great deal of pain.

"What burden, you forget who your big sis is. Plus, what kind of sister would I be if I considered you a burden? A big sister should look out for her younger sister and help when she's in need. It's better if you're at the site yourself so of course I'll try my best to protect you. Not to mention, I'm strong. Like crazy strong so I can defeat anyone that comes our way." Yin grinned in a manner similar to Shiro, causing Lisandra to chuckle.

"Alright. Is there anything we need to bring?" Lisandra asked as Yin nodded.

"Two things. You and something that mum is familiar with. I asked Nan Tian to borrow this for a while and he said yes since he had a few prepared." Yin smiled as she pulled out a familiar pink wheelchair from the rift.

Seeing this, Lisandra could feel her smile twitch as she did not like the colour pink. She preferred black or white similar to Shiro's taste in clothing. And pink was certainly not on her list of preferred colours.

"I even asked Aarim to make you a matching outfit for this too." Yin continued as she wasn't finished.

Reaching into the rift, she pulled out a white and pink long sleeved shirt along with a pink dress and a pair of white stockings that had pink frills. For the last item, she pulled out a pair of pink boots that matched the outfit.

"No." Lisandra refused but Yin only stepped closer.

"Big sis don't do this." Lisandra begged as she tried to act as pitifully as she could. However, without saying anything, Yin started to change Lisandra into her new outfit before lifting her and placing her on the wheelchair.

Now equipped with both a pink outfit and a pink wheelchair, Lisandra could feel her face burn with shame as she pulled up the neck of her shirt to hide her face while Yin pushed from behind.

Making sure she took the long way to the teleport hall, Yin wanted to show off to everyone how cute her little sister was. Even though she was feared in battle, she had a cute side like this to her.

While Yin was having fun, Lisandra wanted nothing but to bury herself in the ground to avoid the shame.

Once they reached the teleport hall, Yin teleported the two of them back to Vatican City.

Upon arriving, she could see the ruins of the once great city. The past image of people wandering the streets was now replaced by a horde of monsters that continuously looked for any survivors.

"Hais…" Sighing heavily, Lisandra felt regretful for those that used to live here. The lucky ones, if you could call them that, would have survived and left this city while those unfortunate would have died when the first change began.

"Shall we get to searching? These ruins won't show their secrets on their own." Yin smiled as Lisandra nodded her head.

"Alright, big sis will go clear the way. I'll be right back." Yin reassured as her aura flared around her.

Jumping out of the teleport Shrine, Yin transformed into a phoenix, setting fire to her surroundings in an instant. Monsters that were caught were turned to ash.

Flying above the city, she flapped her wings and created several magic circles that hurled down meteors that split into fragments that homed in on the surviving monsters, extinguishing their life with a single hit.

Sending out her senses, Yin smiled after seeing that most of the monsters had been eliminated while those that are still roaming will pose no threat to Lisandra.

Transforming back to her human form, she pushed Lisandra's wheelchair towards where the dungeon used to be.
