Chapter 1275: Forging A New Weapon

Returning to the realm where she and Aria fought against one another, s.h.i.+ro glanced up at the skies as hundreds of reflections could be seen displaying different realities.

Each reality that the G.o.d Beast visits fell to ruin as corruption spread across the land causing plagues, natural disasters and a flood of corrupted mana to invade the bodies of those that are powerful. It caused their spells to go out of control and harm the caster instead of the target.

Narrowing her eyes, s.h.i.+ro looked down at her hands and activated Error's power.

Since he was exhausted after digging up the past, she was doing everything manually.

'Anima attained tier 10 after Chaos sacrificed herself. What Anima can do I can do as well. Moving across dimensions should be within the realm of possibility for me.' s.h.i.+ro thought to herself as she peered into the source code of this realm.

Since Anima was able to create, manage and travel across realms by integrating the system and its rules to reality, accessing it is a simple task for s.h.i.+ro.

The difficulty comes with trying to find the correct reality to warp to. Now that she had the entire realm at her disposable, she could now gain access to millions of worlds.

Finding the correct one amongst all of this was not going to be simple, especially when all of the nodes that she set up beforehand no longer worked.

When she tried to resonate with the nodes, every single node within every single reality responded.

'I suppose it makes sense since they're not different nodes per say.' s.h.i.+ro scratched her hair in annoyance.

There was one thing she could track accurately though. The beast itself.

Going through her memories, s.h.i.+ro remembered the instance where Anima created the beast. The convergence of source codes along with the black goo.

'I know the code that I need to track. I just need to filter through all of these realities until I find it.'

Taking a deep breath, s.h.i.+ro snapped her finger and a tier 9 magic array formed around her. She didn't want to attempt tier 10 just yet but she could enhance her tier 9 spells through the new knowledge she gained.

"I need something to slow it down momentarily otherwise it'll be annoying to try to find what reality it is crawling towards next." s.h.i.+ro muttered as an idea formed in her head.

She'll create an attack similar in nature to the one she used against Anima but this time she'll imbue it with the ability to traverse realities.

A sure hit attack that will never miss its target!

A concept was being created in s.h.i.+ro's mind as she was going to attach parts of her power as someone that can bend reality.

There were 4 abilities she wanted to attach onto the weapon.

Clasping her hands together, the world around her rumbled in preparation for what she was planning. A tier 9 magic circle erupted from beneath her as several portals split open across the skies.

She was going to steal the energy from different realities in order to forge a weapon that she could use against the G.o.d Beast as well as Anima.

In front of her, an obsidian crucible manifested itself as nan.o.bots swarmed around s.h.i.+ro, creating machines at the entrance of each portal. The energy that was being siphoned from the realities was converted into a stream of pure blue liquid that surged towards the crucible.

Unable to withstand the presence of multiple realities, the world around s.h.i.+ro started to fracture but it was of no consequence to her. In fact, she welcomed such destruction as the energy will a.s.sist her in creating the weapon.

Slas.h.i.+ng her hand down vertically, the world in front of her split in two as cosmic energy surged into the realm.

With the conditions now optimal for what she wished to do, s.h.i.+ro focused her gaze forward.

The first ability was for the weapon to traverse the realities!

Manifesting her core, she extracted a small portion of its energy and created a secondary core for the weapon. This will allow it to host the full power of Error and the system. With this power at the weapon's disposal, it will not be restrained by physical laws.

Creating another tier 9 magic circle, s.h.i.+ro watched as the blue fluid coiled around the core above the crucible. From the core, red circuits spread across the surface of the liquid, weaving itself tightly against the substance.

The second ability was the manifestation of a higher form of power. One that was the reflection of Chaos, a power that her original self wielded.

She will grant the new weapon the powers of Order!

As s.h.i.+ro imbued the weapon with the second ability, the reality around her started to break away like pieces of gla.s.s and she knew she was now on a time limit. She wanted to use the destruction of this realm as the final push to solidify the weapon.

Third ability! It was a power that she awakened during her own fight, the power to Comprehend and Destroy. Anything the weapon touches will have a 'virus' injected into it that will comprehend everything about the target before breaking it apart.

As for the last ability, it was the most important one. The ability to always strike true no matter the distance, realm or defence!

She witnessed how both Anima and Chaos bent reality to their will, a power so potent that it allowed Anima to grasp the key to becoming tier 10.

With her current understanding, such an ability was within the reach of her capabilities.

Taking a deep breath, s.h.i.+ro created hundreds of tier 9 magic circles at once at they all amplified the energy siphoned from each reality simultaneously!

With such a surge of power, hundreds of realms were reduced to ashes at once.

'I'm sorry.' She apologised in her mind as she didn't wish to resort to such a method. But without a method like this, she wouldn't have the energy she needs to form this weapon.

Now that the energy worth hundreds of realities invaded this realm, it could no longer keep itself stable but that was perfect for s.h.i.+ro.

"I'll manifest the body of the weapon using the remains of a destroyed realm." She muttered.

Dismissing all of the magic circles, she rea.s.sembled them into an array, one that was going to focus on stabilising the weapon.

Flicking her fingers, the splintered shards of this realm converged towards her location.

*RUMBLE!!!

As though welcoming the birth of something transcendent, iridescent lights formed from the remains of the realm surged around her location.

In front of her, a single spear floated while radiating an ominous energy that sent s.h.i.+vers down s.h.i.+ro's spine just looking at it. It felt as though it was something that should've never existed within this reality.

It had a pure black body and blade with cracks along the length, revealing red energy flowing beneath. Golden spirals could be seen along the body while runes of the same colour adorned the blades.

[What will you name it mother?] Error asked curiously.

By just existing, this spear was warping reality around it, threatening to disappear into another realm.

"Hmm It's a spear that can't miss so naturally there's only one name I can really give it. And I suppose Odin did help me a little with the Bifrost so this spear will be named Gungnir." s.h.i.+ro smiled as she grabbed the handle of the spear.

Immediately feeling the energy drain of manifesting such a spear, s.h.i.+ro forced a smile on her face.

"How rebellious. I made you yet you're trying to drain me dry of mana." She chuckled before looking up at the sky.

Since she had made the spear with a part of her core, she could sense where it was at all times. The moment this spear reaches the G.o.d Beast, it'll act as a teleport node for her.

Aiming the spear towards the sky, red circuits burst out of her arms and threated into the spear.

Right now she was calibrating the target she wanted it to hit. As long as she remembers the source code, there's nothing this spear cannot reach!

Closing one of her eyes, she connected her senses with the spear and could see that it was filtering through every reality at rapid speeds before homing onto a peaceful reality. A small fracture could be seen splitting within the sky as the Beast clawed through without care.

"Found it." s.h.i.+ro curled her lips up into a grin as she took a stance and pulled her arm back.

Holding her breath, tier 9 magic circles started to appear along the spear's body as the veins in s.h.i.+ro's arm bulged from the amount of energy she was pumping into the weapon.

She could feel her core working harder than it has ever before. With each pa.s.sing second, her mana drained faster than it could replenish at a speed inconceivable to the common mind.

She should have no mana issues yet half of her mana had already been absorbed!

"Greedy motherf*cker!" s.h.i.+ro shouted out in anger as her mana was reaching 10%.

Thankfully, the spear seemed satisfied as she threw the weapon as hard as she could. A single pillar of light cut through the realms, shattering reality wherever it pa.s.sed in a blinding flash, leaving behind a trail of cosmic light burning everything it touched.
