Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?-Novel

Chapter 646 Zeus

"Nyx has been awaiting your arrival. If you follow me, I’ll take you to her." Zeus said as Shiro furrowed her brows before shrugged.

"Sure. Where is she?" Shiro asked while glancing at the gods around them. She could see a few familiar faces of those she had met recently while others were unfamiliar.

For those that she was familiar with, she could see some traces of worry on the face of Hermes, Athena, Aphrodite and Artemis.

"She is further down the mountain. Follow me and I’ll show you the way." Zeus said whilst gesturing towards the back of Mount Olympus.

Narrowing her eyes, Shiro shook her head.

"Nyx told me to meet her on Mount Olympus and I’m already here. Seeing as though the view is rather nice up here, I think I’ll wait. Not to be offensive but knowing the myths surrounding you, a delicate woman like me worries about following you by herself you know? Why don’t you be a dear and call Nyx over?" Shiro said with a smile as Zeus frowned.

Some of the gods found her reaction a little humorous while others were quite displeased seeing her belittled the ruler of gods in such a manner.

"Are you provoking me mortal?" Zeus narrowed his eyes.

"Am I? It’s up to interpretation really." Shiro shrugged as dark clouds started to gather above them.

"I can do the same too. It’s a pretty neat ability since it boosts up my power." Shiro laughed and activated her skill, Encroaching Darkness.

Shadowing over the dark clouds instantly, a veil of darkness covered Mount Olympus.

Snapping his fingers, Zeus had one of the gods summon several motes of light which lit up the area with a golden hue.

"Even if you have Nyx’s favour, if you continue to provoke the gods, we will strike you down mortal. At that point, she cannot save you from anything that I want to do." Zeus warned.

"Oh really? Now tell me, what do you plan to do with the one who has my favour Little Zeus." A charming voice rang out as Nyx’s figure appeared besides Shiro.

"Took you awhile, it’s not very nice for a host to keep a guest waiting." Shiro chuckled.

"It’s the second time I’m making an avatar to meet you. Remember, the system is rather strict and I must say, you have a knack for pissing off gods huh?" Nyx raised her eyebrow.

"It’s what I do." Shiro grinned.

"Let us leave now, we have much to talk about. And Zeus, if I find out that you made her friends’ trials harder, then I can guarantee that you’ll have a bad time." Nyx warned with a glare.

Clicking his tongue, Zeus nodded his head.

"Good. Now if you don’t mind us, we’ll take our leave now." Nyx smiled.

Summoning a portal, she stepped through with Shiro following behind her.

Once the two were gone from the peak of the mountain, Zeus slammed his hand against the armrest of his throne. His face was filled with anger as Nyx always pushed him around like he was nothing.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t do anything about it as she was indeed stronger than him.

Thinking about it for a moment, he figured that he could probably make things a little harder for Shiro outside of the trials in the real world. All he needed to do was to contact those who he had chosen as his representatives.

However, he could not be the only one to do this so he must find a few gods that were on his side. From what he had seen, Shiro had already befriended a few gods so he’ll need to exclude them from this.

Sweeping his gaze through the crowd of gods, he noticed a few of them being displeased about Shiro and his brother, Poseidon was one of them.

’Good.’ He thought with a smile.

###

Stepping through the portal, Shiro quickly adjusted her eyesight and noticed that they were in the middle of a rather barren landscape.

"Where are we?" Shiro asked curiously.

"My home, Tartarus." Nyx replied with a chuckle.

"Tartarus? Isn’t it supposed to be filled with tormented souls and fire?"

"It is. If you want, I can take you to that part of my home. I figured that you’d rather it be quite around us while we speak." Nyx smiled.

"True. Having people scream over your conversation isn’t exactly pleasant is it?" Shiro shrugged.

"Hence why I brought us to the quiet part of Tartarus. Now then, what were we talking about the last time we met?" Nyx asked.

"Last time I asked you about your goal in showing me all of this and you replied that I’ve caught your interest followed up by we can talk more when I come to Mount Olympus." Shiro replied.

"Ah right, of course. Take a seat, I’ll tell you about that now." Nyx nodded.

Waving her hands, a set of tables and chairs appeared in front of them.

"Right then, the reason I showed you all of that is because you’re the lifeline of this world as you have already discovered. If you die, the universe will reset in due time. It won’t reset immediately but the world will continue to deteriorate. Now, the unfortunate part of this is that only a few selected people are allowed to know about it. If you tried to mention this to anyone who isn’t meant to know, the system will automatically censor what you want to say. Hence why Little Zeus is probably planning something against you right now." Nyx shook her head.

Waving her hand, a screen appeared in front of the two of them showing Zeus’ anger after they left.

"Well I can’t exactly be courteous to someone who wants to f*ck everything that has a v.a.g.i.n.a." Shiro shrugged.

"I don’t blame you. However, unless he intervenes personally, I can’t do anything against him. So until then, the most I can do is help you get stronger." Nyx smiled.

"Mn, it’s fine. I can probably take care of Zeus myself sooner or later. Also, if you don’t mind me asking, how are my friends?" Shiro asked.

"They’re doing fine. Helion is meeting with Hephaestus as you have guessed. Yin has actually met two gods. Demeter and Hades." Nyx chuckled.

"Wait, aren’t those two enemies? If I remember things correctly, Hades kidnapped her daughter and made her his wife." Shiro raised her eyebrow.

"Yup. Hence why it’s rather comical right now. The two are arguing right now. Hades is quite nice most of the time but there’s just something about Demeter that annoys him. He’s had a stable marriage with Persephone recently but he still hasn’t sorted things out with Demeter yet." Nyx shook her head with a shrug.

"Mn, what about the others then? Lisandra, Lyrica, Aarim, Silvia, Chen Yu and Madison."

"Lisandra is a special case. She was actually visited by the Primordial God of Light, Aether. Don’t worry, it’s not the same as the Light God and Light Goddess that you are enemies with. That would be really awkward if that was the case. Lyrica was visited by a few gods one of which is Heracles and they’re discussing the nature of her trial right now. Aarim was visited by Atlas, to my surprise, Silvia was visited by the father son duo of Apollo and Asclepius, Chen Yu was visited by Aeolus, Deimos, Erebus and Thanatos while Madison was visited by quite a few gods as well. One of the more notable gods is Kratos who represents strength and power."

Hearing that her friends were doing well, Shiro sighed in relief.

"That’s good. I’m guessing I’ll get a trial from you by the end of this?" Shiro asked as Nyx nodded.

"Naturally as that is the goal of the God Trials. But before that, I want to talk to you a little more. Primarily on the second member who is supporting you."

"And who is that? You mentioned her the last time we met." Shiro asked.

"It’s my mother, Chaos." Nyx replied with a chuckle as Shiro widened her eyes.

"Wait what?"

"I know, I was surprised too when I felt her blessing on you as she usually watches things happen. She can’t show herself often as the restraints around her are one of the most annoying in this universe but you have indeed met her before. I believe she told you good luck?" Nyx chuckled.

"So that was her." Shiro smiled as she remembered the mysterious woman that she had met previously.
