Chapter 956 Super Weapon
Chapter 956 Super Weapon
Standing in the command room, Shiro looked at everyone that was going to be involved in the construction of this new super weapon.
Nan Tian, Madison, Isilia and Lisandra.
"What’s going on? Seeing as how you rarely have this kind of expression, I’m guessing things aren’t good." Madison frowned since she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"You can say that. We’re making a weapon that will obliterate the relic. We can’t let it survive." Shiro replied as Isilia furrowed her brows.
"What happened?" She asked, understanding that Shiro must have gotten new information for her to make such a change in thoughts.
"I saw a vision of the future and it doesn’t look good. If we let the relic ’survive’ it’ll kill everyone here no exceptions." Shiro replied as she flexed her finger. Creating a hologram of sorts, she showed them what she had seen.
A world of flesh as everyone was dead around Shiro.
Seeing this vision, all four of them felt their heart sink as it seemed so unlikely yet Shiro was not one to joke around something like this.
"In the future, I used Chronos’ power to turn back time and send a vision to myself. No matter what, we have to destroy this relic. The only thing I know thus far is that the power of the void causes it to grow so Estrella won’t be participating in this battle." Shiro explained as Lisandra frowned.
"If the power of the void makes it grow, do you think it’s something born from the void then? Estrella controls such beasts if I remember correctly." Lisandra asked as Shiro nodded her head.
"I do remember. However, this is something that could reach tier 8 in terms of power. In the future, it killed Chronos."
"Wait tier 8??? I thought they were only going to appear in the latter half of the new age. Why is there one here now?" Madison asked in confusion.
"I don’t know but it seems logical considering the fact that my own rainbow grade relics can summon forth the power of the gods. Regardless, since it might be tier 8 immediately, I’ll be using my skill to forcefully raise my tier to god level and activate the weapon. The blueprint that I’ll be making is one that will focus the power onto one spot rather than a huge area since that’ll waste a lot of energy-"
"Stop, if you force yourself to reach tier 8 doesn’t that mean your body will be damaged more than it already has? Remember last time you raised yourself to tier 8?" Nan Tian asked with worry.
"Don’t worry I know. However, the primordial gods have already come to an agreement that they’ll be reinforcing my body as much as possible during that moment." Shiro replied, understanding his concern.
"It’s a risk you know. We’re going to be the first ones to attack which means attention will be placed on us." Isilia frowned as Shiro nodded her head.
"I know, but it’s better than having the Queens preparing a barrier once they realise what we’re going to be doing. The current plan is to use the remaining time to construct a super weapon out in space. With Nan Tian and Lisandra harnessing the power of the sun, I’ll need you Madison, to embed some of your berserk skills into this weapon so that the power is enhanced. Isilia, you’ve made a fake dungeon before right?" Shiro turned to her friend as she nodded.
"I have but it’s not exactly beneficial in terms of rewards."
"That’s fine, I only want to use them as batteries. If we can slot this weapon with as many dungeons as we can, I can use them as containers for energy. Condense it to the limit before focusing all of that energy into the main cannon. How many dungeons will you be able to make?" Shiro asked as Isilia scratched her head.
"You know that to make a dungeon I’ll need items or materials from the host world/garden. Plus, with what you’re thinking about, we’ll need a place that can actually host something up to tier 8. If not, the space within the dungeon will break apart much sooner than you’ll expect" Isilia sighed.
"Don’t worry about that. I have a world in mind, it’s a place called the forgotten realms and it’s filled with the power of the primordial gods. I have something that did belong to that world so we can use this as a catalyst. It’s a soul, would that work?" Shiro asked as Isilia nodded.
"That’s fine, I just need a small piece of it then. Once I get a piece, I should be able to trace it back to the original realm and begin construction on dungeons."
"How many can you make in around 2 or 3 hours then?" Shiro asked.
Furrowing her brows, Isilia opened her mouth.
"Depends. Are we doing hundreds of small dungeons or a few big ones?"
"Which one is easier in time? The main goal is for all the dungeons to hold energy and act as giant batteries."
"It’ll be easier to go with the hundreds of smaller ones then. Since I can produce several at the same time. Since it’s smaller, I don’t have to worry about balancing it out as much compared to giant ones. If I’m given three hours, I can roughly make 50 to 100 give or take." Isilia replied after a pause.
"What if you were to get Aarim to help? I would say Estrella but all of her abilities are tied to the void so her assistance might make this useless." Shiro asked.
"With Aarim’s help... 75 to 125. But that’s a good estimate. Depending on what happens, it might even slow things down a little." Isilia replied with a frown.
"Hmm... that’s fine then. You’ll work on that solo and get us as many dungeons as you can. Are you able to make the entrances portable? That way I can install it on the weapon once it’s ready." Shiro asked.
"I can. I’ll send you the gates via teleport node once I’m finished with them."
Nodding her head, Shiro slammed her hand down and summoned the lantern.
"How much of my soul will you be taking?" The Ancient Terror asked as Shiro raised her eyebrow.
"Well aren’t you cooperative."
"I saw the hologram. I’m not that stupid to work against you right now." He clicked his tongue as Shiro laughed.
"With the way you’re going, I might even give you a name soon."
"I already have a name!"
"Tell me later. Regardless, Isilia, he’s all yours." Shiro shrugged, passing the lantern over to Isilia.
"Mn, it’ll only take a few seconds."
Snapping her fingers, a dense array of magic circles appeared around the room as a faint figure of the ancient terror appeared.
Swiping down horizontally, a piece of his arm was severed off.
A faint tether appeared as the magic circles started to glow with a golden light.
"You won’t be able to find the forgotten realm with just his soul since the place is a little special. I’ll give you a key." Nyx’s voice rang out weakly as the party was surprised for a moment.
Within the dense array of magic circles, a crest started to form itself as the tether was strengthened.
"Alright, I’ll work on the dungeons now." Leaving the room with a golden orb of light in her hands, Isilia hurried off.
"What about us then?" Madison asked.
"We’re going to space." Shiro smiled.
###
Laying her head on the table, Nyx’s face was a little pale as she was trying to catch her breath.
Patting her head, Gaia let Nyx rest for a moment.
"What can we do on our end?" Gaia asked since she was worried that even with all of their firepower, they might not be able to kill the relic.
"Do you think we can perhaps try to rope in other gods to assist us?" Chronos asked.
"Since they’re using the power of the sun, it might be helpful if little Helios gave them a hand." Tartarus smiled as Ouranos nodded his head.
"Yes but doing so means he’ll be suffering some backlash from the system. Do you think he’ll agree?" Chronos asked.
"Just tell him that Shiro is Zeus’ enemy. The more Shiro succeeds, the more annoyed Zeus will become and the happier Helios will be." Ouranos shrugged.
"Let’s just scam him then. He doesn’t know how important Shiro is. Once he helps, he can’t stop. At most, he’ll think it’s a mortal that annoyed Zeus since he doesn’t pay much attention to what’s been happening." Tartarus smiled as Ouranos and Chronos nodded their heads in agreement.
As the three discussed with each other on how to scam more gods into helping Shiro without the backlash, Gaia couldn’t help but look at the three with disdain. They were acting like shopkeepers trying to get a few extra gold rather than gods since they were casually talking about how to scam others.
Rolling her eyes, Gaia started to think about ways to help Shiro out as well.
