Chapter 1012 Odin
"Yes, it was in an amulet that the nun carried on her at all times."
Hearing this, Shiro paused in surprise since not many gods could interfere with the world before the new age much less bestow their crest to someone.
"Hmm can you tell me more about this nun?" Shiro asked as Nathan nodded his head.
"But are you able to tell me about what’s happening to my brother?" Nathan asked since his main concern was still his brother.
"We can tell you what we know and that a god is thinking of doing something to him. We’re not sure about what but it doesn’t seem to be a good god. I could be wrong however but I can’t just ignore the miasma being radiated from him." Shiro sighed as Nathan clenched his fists.
"Is there a way to save him then?"
"There is. We have to get rid of the crest on his soul. Once we do that, the god’s influence should end. But I’m not too sure since the capabilities of gods is beyond me right now." Shiro shook her head as Nathan sighed.
"Alright, thank you for letting me know. I’ll tell you about the nun once we get downstairs."
Leaving the room with Shiro and Nan Tian, Nathan closed the door behind him as he glanced towards his brother before sighing softly.
Sitting in the lounge with Nan Tian, Shiro listened to Nathan talk about the nun that ran the orphanage.
To them, she was always kind. Whatever they wanted she would try her best to get for them. It was hard to keep the orphanage running by herself. Their village never had anyone strong enough to fend off the monsters properly so they had to sacrifice parts of their village every time.
With resources already low, keeping everyone fed was hard but she tried her best.
They did ask about the amulet when they were younger but she only replied that this was a gift from someone who had given her a second chance at life.
"A second chance at life huh... And you said that she unfortunately passed away during the attack when the new age started right?"
"Mn, we managed to escape thanks to brother but she was killed by the monsters." Nathan nodded his head and sighed.
Hearing this, Shiro leaned back for a moment.
’A person who gave her a second chance at life... Hmm... I’m not sure what kind of god this is but I should probably find a way to delay things a little. I can’t slow down time in a person’s body just yet, so that’s off the table.’ Shiro thought to herself.
"I don’t think we can help your brother just yet." Shiro said as she could see their eyes flicker with sadness.
"However, there’s a chance that you might find something you need from the country of Vrish’ Lir. Depending on what happens, I might be able to help as well." Shiro smiled.
Upon hearing this, their eyes brightened as Nathan nodded his head.
"Alright. We’ll try to learn as much as we can from the country. Are you able to tell us any specific areas of study that we need to learn in order to help our brother?" Nathan asked curiously.
"Hmm... something to do with the soul, removing crests and divine energy. That is probably what you want to find out but don’t worry, I can search for that myself. Just work towards being good healers and help this city out." Shiro smiled as they nodded their heads.
Talking to them for a little longer, both Shiro and Nan Tian left the house as they made their way back to the tower.
"Are you going to overwrite his crest with your own crest?" Nan Tian asked curiously as Shiro nodded her head.
"Yup. I don’t know how to remove crests but I do know that I can achieve a similar effect should I replace it with my own. There are some added benefits too but since he probably won’t be on the front lines these benefits won’t matter too much." Shiro shrugged.
"True. I’m more concerned about the god. If they are able to bestow a crest then there’s no doubt that they’re powerful. I’ll do some research and see if I can find any gods that might potentially have a connection to ravens." Nan Tian replied.
"Mn, speaking of gods, I’m curious about how this guy knew that your eyes could see through it." Shiro narrowed her eyes and pulled out the lantern with the ancient terror imprisoned within.
"I’ll only speak if you give me some more entertainment."
"Sure. I’ll send you to a different dimension instead and have a TV there so that you can watch programs everyday." Shiro smiled.
"Deal! What do you want to know?"
"How you knew about Nan Tian’s eyes." Shiro asked as the ancient terror glanced towards Nan Tian.
"Well where have you seen a person with golden eyes that have their own magic circle? I’ve only seen it once and that was Odin’s all seeing eye behind that eyepatch of his. This is weaker but at least the lad has both eyes." The ancient terror smirked as Shiro raised her eyebrow.
"So you’re saying that Nan Tian’s eyes are almost equivalent to Odin’s all seeing eye?"
"Yup. Though all seeing is a little bit of an exaggeration."
"Do you think it’s Odin that might have put the crest on the young man? He has a link to ravens after all." Shiro asked but the ancient terror shook his head.
"Nope. That old man’s crests is something else. Even I haven’t seen the raven crest before so I can’t help you with that. All I know is that once that lad gets some divine energy in his body, his eyes will be able to see a lot more. Now then, let’s talk about my TV."
"You can watch cartoons all day." Shiro smirked as she threw the lantern into a separate dimension and summoned a TV that played the cartoons that children watch.
Closing the portal before he could even protest, Shiro made her way back to the tower with a smile.
"How cruel." Nan Tian chuckled.
"Well that’s true. But don’t worry, if he figures out how to change channels using the buttons then he’s fine." Shiro grinned.
"That and I kinda just want to bully him a little for all the things he’s done." Shiro shrugged.
"Mn that’s true. He is helpful though. His knowledge and interaction with gods are handy." Nan Tian agreed.
"Yup. Hence why I still keep him around. Honestly that and the fact that I can’t kill this mother*cker. Too tenacious so I might as well make use of him." Shiro shrugged. She had tried to kill his soul before but it was tough. As in it’s hard to even make a dent in it so the most she could do is keep it in her lantern for now.
Once they were back in the tower, they returned to Shiro’s room while she drank a potion and created two drones that have been fitted with the best gear she could provide. Both of them could travel as fast as her jet and their main job was to set down teleport nodes near Vrish’ Lir.
She also made sure that they were self sufficient so that she didn’t need to constantly funnel mana to them while also allowing her to control them.
"Let’s see... the route should be fine. If one of them breaks I can use the second one as a marker to make more." Shiro muttered.

Walking to the window, she set the two off and watched them fly towards the direction of Vrish’ Lir.
Bringing out a pair of glasses, she put them on and saw everything the drones saw.
"Perfect. A remote control so that I don’t have to worry about not being able to see what they see when I don’t have mana." Shiro smiled before laying on the bed.
"I just had a thought but if you keep drinking potions, wouldn’t your mana realm evolve faster?" Nan Tian asked, curious.
"I thought of that too but I think it’s more to do with divine energy I think. As you know, divine energy is many times more powerful than mana and I only produce so much per day. When divine energy runs out, it takes mana instead. So I’m waiting on my divine energy rather than mana." Shiro explained as Nan Tian nodded his head.
Talking for a little longer, the two of them went to sleep while the drones made their way to the borders of Vrish’ Lir.
###
Waking up early in the morning, Shiro put on the glasses and checked the camera feed from the drones. Seeing the wall of mist in the distance, Shiro narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Drinking a mana potion, she had the drones place down teleport nodes as everything is prepared.
With Nan Tian also waking up, the two of them sent a notification to the 24 that were selected for this trip.
