Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 1090 Substitute Body

Watching everyone gather in the main square, Misu nodded in satisfaction before opening her mouth.

"Ahem. Several months ago, when this world changed for the worse, I had given you an option. With my limited power, I could bring you back to life but you’ll forever be undead as I am a necromancer. Outside of the cities, it will be hard to sustain everyone so you had been stuck here. However, I wanted to give you more. I wanted you to have a living body like it was before the calamity. You did not deserve to have your life stripped away from you so I present you with a new option. An allied Queen who was abled to revive without any backlash such as turning them into undead." Misu called out as everyone turned towards Shiro who stood next to her with a small smile.

Giving them a wave, Shiro waited for Misu to finish her speech while she was formulating the spell in her mind.

First and foremost, she needed to repair their soul first. For most people, this was a bit easier considering the fact that their soul didn’t hold much power. Therefore, repairing it was a simple matter of finding the right runes and using a slither of divine energy to help them recover. Since there was so many, she couldn’t heal a soul in one go or else she won’t have divine energy for others.

Instead, she wanted to leave a trace of her divine energy in them and let them recover over time. Since divine energy couldn’t be sensed or used unless you fulfil some prior requirements, it was safe to say that the strand of divine energy wouldn’t be used up and would passively heal their soul.

It would also support the ’framework’ of their being so there would be no need for Misu’s anchor to keep them from leaving the city.

The last step would be the body and she had to admit, this one was a little difficult considering their condition. Most of them no longer had a body and their physical form right now was a direct result of Misu’s skills. If she wanted to craft them a physical body that aged like usual, it was going to be hard. And that was in her dictionary so to others it would be almost impossible to accomplish.

The best she would be able to do is give them prosthetics for those that have already lost their physical body.

As for those that kept their old body, she could patch them up without any problem. Even Silvia could.

Thinking about Silvia, Shiro blinked her eyes.

’Wait, Silvia can also revive people. While her window of opportunity is small compared to mine, her expertise in healing spells is second to none in Asharia. Perhaps she’ll have a way for them to recover their physical body without needing me to give them a body of metal. Nanotech may have become a branch of the creation divinity but my powers over creation are weak. At best, what I make can be called imitations of the real power.’ Shiro thought to herself as she overlayed a contact lens over her eye.

Bringing up her chat with Silvia, she sent her a message.

[Shiro: Silvia, I might need your help for something. Are you free right now?]

[Silvia: Yes I am. I just finished a surgery so I have some downtime right now.]

[Shiro: Great. Do here’s a question, if there is a soul in front of you, would you be able to give it a physical body?]

[Silvia: A physical body? As in their previous body with flesh and bones?]

[Shiro: Yes, I want to avoid using my nanobots if I can. Not to keen on making them all robots.]

[Silvia: Hmm... I can’t say for sure. If you have even a piece of them, dead or not, I will be able to repair them back to their old form since for my healing spells to work, there needs to be ’something’ for me to heal. I can’t heal something from nothing. That’s not how healing spells work so that’s why I’m not sure.]

[Silvia: However, I was working on something else in my spare time. You see, the body and soul is connected right? The soul would have a recollection of what their body was like in the deepest parts of their consciousness. If I was able to use that as a foundation for the healing spell, I can ’try’ to give them a physical body. So far, the experiments have been done on some monsters who had their soul extracted. As long as I have a piece of flesh and bone, I’ll be able to begin the healing process but it’s complicated and hard to execute with a high chance of failure so far. If you give me more time I can probably figure something out but right now, its out of my capabilities.]

[Shiro: Alright, I’ll give them a substitute body based on their recollection first. To be fair, Misu has already done that since the form they have now was created thanks to her skill. It’s a projection of their physical form.]

[Silvia: Then we can probably work on something in our spare time.]

Talking to Silvia for a little longer, Shiro ended the chat just in time as Misu welcomed Shiro to say a few words.

"So Misu has explained, I am an ally and I do have the capabilities to help you. However, there is one thing that you must take note of. For those of you that no longer have a physical body, I’ll need to give you a prosthetic one for now until we are able to create a body from nothing. The physical body would be created from metal that simulates the properties of flesh and even the functions of the normal human body. It will allow you to feel hungry and consume substance as usual." Shiro explained while snapping her finger.

Next to her, nanobots appeared before transforming into two humans, male and female. They both wore outfits similar to what everyone is wearing right now.

"As you can see, it looks like normal flesh, feels like flesh but it is not a proper body made from flesh and bone."

Summoning a sword, Shiro slashed towards the two robots, shocking the people. They quickly covered the eyes of the children since they didn’t want them to see more slaughter after the first day. However, what happened next shocked them as the sword was snapped in half.

"As you can see, in this form, you are quite impervious to most damages. But I need to warn you, if you choose this, there might be some problems that arise later. You may not have the same caution as you would in a normal body. I can add pain sensors but even if you feel pain, your body would not be damaged. I’ll let you digest this information and think about whether or not you want this form. I can say that I will repair your soul fully.

"Those that have a portion of their physical body, please separate yourself from the group so that I may use the spell." Shiro ordered as she watched everyone try to organise themselves.

Turning to Misu, Shiro opened her mouth.

"As I said in the announcement, they’ll need to have a piece of their body for me to be able to do anything. Otherwise I can only give them a robotic substitute for now. Revival works in the way that they still need their previous container. Quite a few people here are missing that so we can’t solve everything just yet." Shiro explained apologetically.

"I see... We’ll I half expected as much. Creating a substitute for them is already good since it’ll allow them to leave the city without worry of disappearing." Misu nodded her head. She couldn’t hide her disappointment in not being able to help them out but as hopeful of what could happen in the future as Shiro did mention that she’ll try find a solution in the future.

"Once we’ve visited all of the cities, go to the Medic Guild and look for Silvia. She’s been researching into the solution for a while now so if you help we’ll be able to find a solution faster." Shiro smiled as Misu paused before nodding her head.

Once everyone was separated into two groups, Shiro stepped forward and activated her skill.

Suddenly, two tier 6 magic circles appeared around the group as golden energy radiated from their bodies.

Scanning all of them and registering them into the magic circle, Shiro clasped her hand together and activated her spell.

Implanting a strange of her divine energy into their body, she wanted as their bodies reverted to their damaged forms. Revealing how much Misu to had to replace as some of them didn’t even have a full head.

Flesh and bone started to regrow as their discolouration and sunken eyes disappeared.

Once the spell was over, they looked at their body and felt emotional. They were fully prepared to live their life out as undead and didn’t expect to get another chance like this.

Ending the spell for now, Shiro checked how much divine energy she had left. Making a quick estimate, she figured that she’ll probably be able to get through all of the cities today unless they have more people than expected.
