Chapter 1220: World of Creation

Dusting herself lightly, Shiro looked at the vast horizon in front of her and let out a big sigh.


"The nature on this side of the universe is truly a sight to behold, isn't it?" Shiro said with a small smile.


{.....}


"Though it was a shame that we found out destructive energy basically can't be used due to its consumption."


{.....}


"If it wasn't for that, my barrier might have remained intact isn't that right, Nimue?" Shiro asked with a light chuckle but once again, Nimue didn't respond.


"Well thankfully I have Vinri which helps me with creation energy."


Waving her hand, Shiro summoned a sword of light that was identical to Iriel in design. After all, she had let Iriel snatch her original body before creating a new one for her.


Dismissing Vinri, Shiro decided to face the problem head on.


Turning around, she came face to face with a giant void that was left due to her collision with the ground without a barrier.


"..." Staying silent for a moment, Shiro scratched her head.


"I basically became a human-sized bullet."


{Yes you did. And with that you erased an entire mountain range by just colliding with the ground.} Nimue replied as she could feel her eye twitching from the ridiculousness of the situation.


Feeling a little embarrassed, Shiro coughed lightly and used Vinri's power to circulate creation energy into the ground.


Little by little, the void that was left behind due to her collision was being refilled with dirt while mountains started to appear.


Spending a few moments repairing the mountain range, Shiro smiled at her handy work and started to walk away.


"Right then what's our first agenda?" Shiro muttered, spreading out her senses. She wanted to see if she could find a city nearby to act as her base of operations for a little while.


{I do believe it's to get a little revenge on the one that tried to kill you? That and learning more about creation so that you could improve your divinity.} Nimue shrugged as Shiro nodded her head.


"Indeed. But I am also rather curious as to how life is over here. Unfortunately, from what I've seen of the puppets they sent last time, things aren't exactly sunshine and rainbows on this side of creation." Shiro frowned as she sensed several beings closing in on her location.


If it was 'human', she wouldn't be too bothered but these presences are like a mash of energies. A chimera of sorts, similar to the puppets she fought last time.


Shaking her head, Shiro wondered if she could purify them. After all, her ideal concept for creation was one that forgives and gives people a second chance. If she could 'fix' these beings, why should she kill them?


{I'm 90% sure you can just tank all their hits anyways. Have you seen how absurd your stats are? At this point I doubt anything short of a first born can harm you anymore.} Nimue muttered while preparing herself to keep Shiro's body in working condition.


"I mean… There are plenty of attacks that ignore defence. Most high level beings have skills that do the job. Only low levels will struggle and even then, they'll die if I breathe a little too hard on them anyways." Shiro joked while summoning Vinri again.


"Sorry to summon you out again so soon. But it's time for you to show off a little." Shiro smiled as Vinri hummed in excitement.


Taking a deep breath, Shiro closed her eyes.


This was a perfect time to put theory into practice as red circuits appeared on her forearms. Stabbing Vinri into the ground, a giant magic formation stretched out as far as the eye could see.


'Targets locked on.' Shiro thought to herself as she could sense all of the puppets that were sent to check out the disturbance.


Obviously, she could opt not to destroy them as well but she didn't want to ignore the souls in pain, trapped within a malformed shell.


Opening her eyes, the world around her slowed down as it started to lose its colour. The ground, trees, and everything around her lost their 'outline' and was reduced to smudges in her vision. Once the smudges were gone, all that's left was lines upon lines of code.


Scanning through the field of code, she spotted the ones belonging to the puppets.


'Let's see… If I want to save them, I have a few options. Either I break them apart, try to reconstruct their body or 'revert' them back to their soul state and let them get reincarnated.' Shiro thought to herself.


She wasn't sure what was left in this world for them as she assumed pretty much everyone would have been 'assimilated' into puppets like the ones she was seeing now.


Thinking about it briefly, she figured she might as well give it a try and see what they want. She had more than enough time to spare, if a 'big boss' came, she'd deal with them as well.


'The magic doesn't need to be complicated; I just need to break apart the 'shell' then divide each of the souls so they return to their individual states. After that I need to 'heal' their soul. It shouldn't be too difficult since I already did a few experiments to test out my theories. Though I suppose this can be classified as a practical test.'


Drawing a few runes with the circuits, Shiro slammed her hand on the ground as a pulse of golden energy exploded out around her.


All of the puppets within range suddenly broke apart as though being cut into a million pieces by razor wire before scattering into particles of light.


'That's stage one done.'


Snapping her finger, a lantern appeared in front of her as it served as a medium for step two. She needed the lantern to contain the soul so that she could repair them. After being fused for so long, the boundary that distinguished them from each other is practically nonexistent.


'I've succeeded in splitting them apart so they're no longer fused but if I were to reincarnate them or rebuild their body, their souls would not be able to handle the transformation. Even the slightest breeze could scatter them apart and prevent them from reincarnating.'


Gathering all of the souls into her lantern, Shiro prepared to question them and see if they wanted a second chance at this life or be reincarnated.


Upon entering the lantern, Shiro was taken aback by just how many souls she had gathered in the lantern. Sweeping the crowd with her eyes, she could tell that most of them were just common civilians.


'Makes sense I suppose. The strength of these puppets are still rather impressive despite how easily I took care of them. The only way for them to replicate this kind of strength by melting souls, is to find several powerful individuals or compensate using quantity.' Shiro sighed inwardly as she cleared her throat to get their attention.


"Ahem! Can I have your attention please~" Shiro clapped her hand.


!!!


The moment the crowd saw Shiro, they started to panic and scream, trying to run away and find a way out while several glared at her with pure malice.


From old men that looked like they could barely stand to young children shielding their younger siblings from her.


Just as she opened her mouth to ask them her question, she was interrupted by a young man who rushed to the front.


"What else do you want from us?! Haven't you taken enough already!! Please leave us be!!" He kneeled down and begged while slamming his head against the floor of the lantern realm.


"Erm… I do believe this is our first meeting?" Shiro forced a smile. She could guess that the 'Shiro' in this world probably didn't care about helping people but to get this kind of reaction was a little surprising.


{You do realise that you'll get this kind of reaction from people back in our world that had to fight you right? Well… the ones that survived anyways.} Nimue shrugged as Shiro thought for a moment before agreeing. She rarely left anyone alive that she had marked as an enemy but those lucky few who survived the encounter dare not to trouble her again.


"Lies and deceit! I can recognize that face anywhere! I burned your visage into my mind while you raided my village! Tore me to shreds and butchered everyone in your way just so you can turn us into those horrid beasts of creation! Kill us now or leave us be!!" An elder shouted out from within the crowd.


Just as Shiro tried to look for him, he hid within the group of people, making sure he couldn't be seen to dodge her gaze.


'Old man! You had the guts to proclaim 'Kill us now or leave us be' yet don't dare to show your face. What the hell?!' Shiro shouted out in her mind as her smile twitched.


"I think there's been a slight misunderstanding." Shiro tried to clear the misunderstanding but they weren't listening to a thing she was saying.


Taking a deep breath, Shiro snapped her finger and made herself a chair before sitting down.


If they weren't going to listen to her, she might as well make herself comfortable. She could spare a few moments to let them vent.
