Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Giving her body a stretch, Shiro had just finished the final training session in the pocket dimension as they were currently preparing to make their way out.

During the final week, Nimue had woken up and was shocked to see a slightly older Atesh as she had also experienced some changes herself. She noticed that her control over the water around her increased dramatically as she was even able to extract a bunch of water from the air causing that area to 'dry up'.

In addition to this, Shiro had noticed that her combat ability had shot through the roof as she was comparable to a high level tier 5 when it comes to her element.

Moreover, she had also discovered that Nimue received a new passive skill. Every attack that she sustains will have its damage cut as her body would be turned to water. It also worked against fire attacks that would normally evaporate her since there was still water in the air.

There was also the skill that allowed her to evade her death as long as a large body of water is nearby which was rather handy as she is able to extract water from all around her to give herself a free revive. Of course, there was a cooldown to this but it was extremely helpful since the range of revival was rather large.

If she wanted, she could gather the water in an underground cave and revive there so that she wasn't pursued by her assailants.

As for Atesh, he was in a similar situation only with fire. However, there was something rather special with his fire as it was always filled to the brim with life energy. It was to be expected since he was a fusion that involved life fire but at this stage, it was actually more potent than Shiro's life fire and it had the potential to be as powerful as Grace.

"Are you ready? Our time here has run out." Hades asked as Shiro nodded her head.

"Mn I am. While it's unfortunate that I didn't manage to make my own skill, it's still handy that I can now use divine energy whenever I want." Shiro smiled as Hades agreed.

"But remember, while you can use divine energy, there is a limit to it. At most you can cast two divine energy spells and five enhanced normal spells so try not to waste it if you can." Hades reminded.

"I know, don't worry. But man, making divine energy spells were harder than I thought. And here I was making new original spells with mana left and right with ease but after two months in here I haven't made a single divine energy spell." Shiro sighed.

"Don't be hasty. It takes a while to make one. Plus, you have to really think outside the box for a divine energy spell. I'll be honest, even the soul hounds that I made last time were only half a divine spell. I do have one or two full divine energy spells but using them is rather difficult." Hades chuckled since his spell had some conditions he must pass before it could be activated.

"Mn well I'll probably think of something eventually. When I realise that I can't accomplish a task with my nanobots, I'll know I'll need divine energy." Shiro grinned as Hades nodded his head.

"That's one of the ways to make your own divine energy spell."

Talking for a little longer, they opened the portal and stepped through it. Upon stepping out, they saw Sitril, Mio and Nan Tian standing there with a smile.

"Welcome back. Did you enjoy your time in there?" Mio asked Shiro with a smile as she nodded her head.

"It was quite helpful. Did anything happen while we were gone?" Shiro replied.

"Something did happen. Your grandmother has found out some intel from one of the souls and it seems like a few Queen's are making a move in the outside world. We don't know what they've done yet so we're going to go have a look once you came out of the pocket dimension." Mio explained as Shiro frowned.

"Mn… we shouldn't waste more time then." Shiro narrowed her eyes before turning around and giving Kalus a hug. Walking up to Sitril, she did the same for her.

"It's been nice seeing you two." Shiro smiled as Sitril chuckled.

"It has. We'll see each other soon once the new age starts." Sitril patted Shiro's head.

Nodding her head, Shiro turned to Hades.

"I suppose I'll also be seeing you in the new age." She chuckled as he nodded.

"You will but gods won't appear too early. The new age is split into two stages in terms of people appearing. The first stage includes Queens, new monsters at the 6th tier and maybe a few Demi Gods but they are rare. The second stage is when us God's and Demon God's appear." Hades explained as Shiro nodded her head.

"Would you happen to know someone called Verron?" Shiro asked as Hades raised his eyebrow.

"I hope you're not talking about Demon God Verron." He forced a smile.

"Unfortunately that is who I'm talking about.

"*sigh* How did you even come across his name?" Hades asked with a sigh.

"I might have pissed him off and he got his eyes on me now." Shiro shrugged.

"How????" Hades asked with a confused expression since she shouldn't be able to come into contact with Verron right now.

"Well me and Nan Tian kind of found his anchor and well… might have heavily injured the tier 6 guard he had on site." Shiro coughed lightly as Nan Tian nodded his head.

"We were quite close to death at that time."

"The fact that you two are alive means you won that fight I guess. He's a rather petty person like my brother so I suppose he will try to get revenge on you. You have quite a few enemies don't you?" Hades forced a smile as she had already pissed off a few people in the Greek pantheon and now she's even made enemies with Demon Gods. He wouldn't be surprised if the God's banded together and launched a crusade against her when the time arrives.

"Anyways did you want to ask me anything about Verron?" Hades asked.

"Mn I was just wondering if you knew about him or not. I might have to fight him in the future so it'll be good to know something about him." Shiro shrugged as Hades thought about it for a moment before furrowing his brows.

"I don't know much since he doesn't fight often. Most of his minions are rather powerful so he doesn't have to make a move. But I will give you a tip on gods. If a god is 'easy' to kill, you haven't killed him. Gods cannot be killed by normal means. You can inflict pain on them but they won't die. You have to target a specific part of them that's in a different existence before you can kill him. Naturally, targeting it is rather difficult since it's normally located in their own domain. If you were to aim for them there, they'll notice immediately. Sneak attacks against them are rather hard as well unless you're a super high level assassin that's in the realm of Demi God or God." Hades cautioned.

"Mn… that's good to know." Shiro nodded her head.

While she knew that the Gods couldn't be killed through conventional means, at least now she knew that most of them kept the core of their being in their own domain. With knowledge on where it is, it'd be helpful in future fights so that she didn't waste time searching for it during the fight.

Talking for a little longer, Shiro said her goodbyes as the three of them made their way back to the portal they had used to enter this place.

Looking at the maids lined up by the side and bowing towards them with respect, Shiro couldn't help but feel a little awkward but she hid her awkwardness away.

Cutting her finger, Mio opened the portal and gestured for them to go through.

Glancing back at the mansion in the distance, she could see Hades give her one final wave as she did the same and stepped through.

Feeling her True Spirit Nature cancel immediately, Shiro sighed softly since it meant that the time limit of 1 minute had returned.

Thankfully, it had reset the moment she returned so she still had 1 minute worth of True Spirit Nature left that can be used whenever.

Immediately pulling out her phone, she checked on information regarding the Queen's.
