Continuing through the connection, Shiro found herself finding exits that led to stronger presences.

Narrowing her eyes, she guessed that they were roughly in the high 800's maybe in the 900's which wasn't exactly reassuring. However, with how their party worked together and the skills that they have, it shouldn't be too hard. Or at least that's what she believes.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of eyes lock onto her as cold sweat dripped down her back.

She didn't think anyone could find her so easily. Just as she was about to cut the connection, she could herself floating in space in front of a being that sat on a throne.

He had a lean physique that was clad in black plated armour. A helmet placed by his side that had a red plume protruding from the top.

A greatsword could be seen pulsing next to him as he locked eyes with her.

With dark red hair and black eyes, he stared at her wordlessly.

[Rokarn LVL 1000 Demi God of Chaos and Slaughter (Divinity 3)

"Err… hi?" Shiro waved with a forced smile.

'His divinity is ranked 3. It's higher than the crow and most gods. According to Gaia, his divinity should be as powerful as the divinity belonging to primordials.' She thought to herself.

Furrowing his brows, he tapped his finger.

Shiro wanted to leave but there was a strange restriction binding her here.

'Error help me out here.' Shiro thought in her mind as she tried to get rid of the binding.

While this was happening, Rokarn stood up and walked up to her.

"God Slayer." He said as Shiro swallowed her saliva.

"Haha, seems like you've heard of my recent title." She joked in response.

"I don't mean your current title bestowed by the system." Rokarn narrowed his eyes.

"Pardon?"

"You don't know?" Rokarn widened his eyes in surprise as he examined her once more.

"Sub divinity of Chaos and Creation is indeed in your body. Then why don't you know…" He growled as Shiro could tell that anger was building up in his eyes.

However, just as he was about to make a move, her bindings finally loosened thanks to Error's help.

"Well I'd love to talk but in better circumstances. I suppose this is farewell for now." Shiro smiled as she quickly disappeared from the location.

Staring at the empty space in front of him, Rokarn frowned and raised his hand.

"BANG!!!

Summoning his greatsword to his hand, he cleaved down and ripped open a portal in the space in front of him.

Just as he was about to enter, black chains appeared behind him and restrained him.

"You refuse to meet me!? ARIA! EXPLAIN YOURSELF!!!" He howled as his aura exploded out of his body.

The realm around him started to shake and crack but no response could be heard.

Suddenly, a golden collar appeared around Rokarn's neck as he was brought to his knees.

Gritting his teeth, he glared at the portal.

Forced to close it, he threw his greatsword into the distance.

Taking deep breaths to calm himself, he sat back on his throne.

Tapping his finger, he wondered what had happened for this scenario to occur. He assumed that the God Slayer woke him up to fulfil their agreement but it doesn't seem to be the case.

'Did Aria go rogue…' He furrowed his brows before shaking his head.

"Enjoy the warmth of your light Aria. Soon… You. Will. Burn."

###

Snapping her eyes open, Shiro quickly jumped back as a sword appeared in her hand.

Narrowing her eyes at the corpse, she sighed in relief after seeing nothing happening.

"Did something happen?" Nan Tian asked as he was also in a combat stance in case something went wrong.

"I suppose so. His perception was stronger than I expected. Found me in the network once I got closer to the centre." Shiro scratched her hair while disposing the body on the table.

"He called me God Slayer but he didn't mean my recent name. But rather it almost seems like he knows me." She said while sitting on the table and crossing her legs.

"He knew you? As Shiro, Kuromi or as Nytri?" Nan Tian asked curiously since Shiro did live three lifetimes now. One of which she remembered last year.

"Not sure. He talks as though I have already reached god hood before. Which apparently I f*cking did since that's what Aria fears." Shiro clicked her tongue while leaning back and kicked her leg back and forth.

"How many lifetimes have I gone through now? I only remember three of them but more are popping out of the woodworks. I lived as Nytri, then I lived as Kuromi who knew nothing. Now I live as Shiro who knows about Nytri but not Kuromi until later that year. Am I supposed to find out about a new incarnation every year I'm alive as Shiro?" Shiro pouted as Nan Tian chuckled and pulled out some juice for her.

"Well perhaps. Though if you have another past life as a god slayer, it'll make your future a bit easier seeing as though you've already done it before." Nan Tian smiled as Shiro nodded her head.

"True. I'm still concerned about Aria though. She's too abnormal. Like me but worse. She is able to access tier 9 magic which I thought didn't exist but clearly that's incorrect. She remembered a different me and it was apparently her deepest fear." Shiro sighed while drinking the juice.

"You think it's to do with my Destroyer class when I almost fell?"

"Maybe. You did shoot all the way up to level 1000 when that happened. Maybe falling just pulls out all of your dormant potential hence why you became the level 1000 Destroyer. Maybe one of your previous lifetimes was acting as the destroyer of worlds. You certainly have the power for it. If I gave you a week, you could destroy Earth quite easily if you go all out. Maybe a week is too long." Nan Tian shrugged as Shiro agreed.

After all, the system even forced Nyx to activate a barrier when she created the Unstable Void Bomb.

"I suppose. By the way, I think we might want to reconsider our strategy. Rokarn is divinity rank 3. He's on par with Gaia and Nyx not to mention the fact that he has the Sub Divinity of Chaos. With what I can do with some of Chaos' abilities, he won't be easy to kill. And unlike me, he doesn't have a timer." Shiro scratched her head. If she used her skill, she can advance herself to tier 8 for a short period and use the Divinity of Chaos but she can only use it for a short period.

In a battle between the two of them, this can only be used as a last last resort paired with stacking her berserk skills to greatly increase her stats to put her on equal footing. And even then, it was no guarantee since his divinity is still more powerful.

"Hmm… Aren't you able to summon some of the primordials here? While they might not be at full power, their assistance might help us tip the balance in our favour." Nan Tian suggested.

"Maybe… I don't want to summon them if possible but if there's no avoiding it then it'll have to do." Shiro nodded as she started to prepare a mech for Gaia. After all, Gaia mentioned that her combat power was weaker than most primordials and had to rely on supporting from the backlines. If she gave Gaia, a mech, it'll allow her to support while also fighting on the frontlines.

As for the mech, it'll have to be something more powerful than the Specialised units since a god can handle more pressure than mortals. It means that she can experiment a bit more and even use the crystals that she's been harvesting. So far, there's been no movement from the egg in the north and the scientists stationed there are confused. But the constant supply of crystals was a boon for them.

But the moment she mentioned not wanting to summon the primordials if possible, Shiro watched as a notification appeared in front of her.

[Goddess Gaia states that she may not be able to help out much to her disappointment. There's been some movement in the divine realms that require their attention. As much as they would like to help, they might be short on time. She also states that your mother is involved. She wants to make sure she's safe along with some other gods.]

Reading this, Shiro blinked her eyes in surprise.

"Never mind. Seems like we can't count on the primordials. They're looking after my mum." Shiro shrugged.

"Pardon?"

"Something has happened in the Divine Realms and my mum is involved. Since Gaia can't join, I presume it's something quite big." Shiro rephrased as Nan Tian furrowed her brows.

"Hmm… I wonder what could be happening to make Gaia and the other primordials step in."

"Who knows. But whatever it is it's going to be big. But enough about that, let's go to sleep now. I want to wake up early and help out with some training to see which skills are compatible with the other party members. Especially Revel and Syradil." Shiro said as she jumped off the table and made her way back to her room.
