Chapter 992 Speaking To Madison

After spending the rest of the day dressing up Shiro and taking pictures, Aarim found it a little strange that Shiro would need to take a break and hold onto Nan Tian’s sleeve but decided to not say anything for now.

"Fu... I’m satisfied. I haven’t relaxed like this in a while." Aarim stretched with a smile as she sat down on the sofa.

"You should rest more often if you’re this fatigued." Shiro smiled.

"Well isn’t that rich coming from the one who rests the least out of all of us?" Aarim raised an eyebrow as Shiro coughed.

"Aren’t I resting now?"

"Yeah but that’s more to do with the fact that you can’t use mana right now. I’m sure that if you could, you would be training or getting back into the swing of things no?" Aarim crossed her legs as Shiro shook her head.

"I don’t know if I can fight like usual. I haven’t fully gotten over my fears just yet." Shiro admitted as she glanced down at her hand.

". . .I see. Sorry for bringing it up." Aarim apologised. She had to remember that this wasn’t like the injuries that she had suffered before.

"It’s fine. But I think you’re right. I did have a quick spar with Nan Tian earlier to see if I can move like usual. I think that once I can use some mana, I’ll be interested in venturing out and fighting a few monsters." Shiro smiled as Aarim nodded.

Talking for a little longer, both Shiro and Nan Tian left the office and made their way back to the main tower. They didn’t want to distract Aarim for too long since she’s keeping the second city functioning.

Upon making their way back to the main tower, Shiro glanced at the time and figured that they might as well rest up for the night.

As they were walking back to Shiro’s room, they saw Madison waiting outside.

"Yo." Madison smiled.

"Sup. How come you’re waiting outside my door? You could have just messaged me." Shiro asked as Madison shrugged.

"True. But I think I should talk to you face to face about this." Madison chuckled.

"Well in that case then come on in."

Opening the door to her room, Shiro gestured for Madison to sit down on the sofa.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Shiro asked curiously.

"You see, I’ve gotten an invitation from Demon God Makron. He invites me to go to the demon realm and in doing so, I’ll be able to become stronger. I..."

"If you’re wondering about how I’ll be, don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I was a little surprised by Lyrica’s choice back then but it makes sense. Everyone has their own path to become stronger and Lyrica has made her choice. There’s an opportunity before you so don’t let my condition discourage you." Shiro smiled.

She immediately knew what Madison wanted to say when she brought up the invitation. If she was to hinder her friend’s progress because she felt lonely, she wouldn’t be much of a friend. Plus, Nan Tian was here helping her.

Hearing this, Madison was a little surprised before smiling.

"Alright. It seems like I wasn’t able to judge you properly." Madison chuckled as she had thought up of ways to pacify Shiro should she be unwilling but there was no need.

"So when will you be leaving?" Shiro asked curiously.

"I think I’ll be leaving either tomorrow or the day after since I still need to distribute some tasks while I’m gone." Madison replied.

"Just a day’s time huh? Is there anything we can do that might help you?" Shiro asked as Madison shook her head.

"It’s fine. I’ve already got some equipment from Helion as well as a few magic scrolls from Aarim. I’m pretty sorted right now." Madison smiled.

"Is that so... Hmm let me check my skills to see if there’s anything I can do to help. Maybe something that doesn’t require mana since all of it is being used for my mana realm right now." Shiro said as she quickly glanced at her stat screen. She wanted to check her list to see if there’s anything she could use for Madison.

Most of her skills were active effects that cost mana to be used in battle and even the ones that she had recycled only lasted for a short time.

Looking at this list, Shiro couldn’t help but sigh. She had been so busy levelling up she never really focused on organising her skills even after reaching Demi God tier.

But just as she glanced through the list, she saw skill that they would mention often since it transferred her stats. She never used this early since her level was low and it would only give additional uses per level rather than a cooldown.

However, now that she looked at it again, she couldn’t help but massage her eyes.

Previously known as the Celestial Court, it was upgraded to Divine Court after she reached Demi God status.

And since she was now level 760, there were 16 available slots with 5 of them being taken up.

[Divine Court Appointment]

You can appoint people of your choosing to take a position within your Divine Court. If they accept, they gain a passive bonus in accordance to their role.

The role will be tailored to their class and you can only appoint a certain amount of people. So far, you can appoint 16 people to be in your Divine Court.

You gain one additional slot every 50 levels (800, 850, 900...)

Currently used slots: 5/16

With how much fighting she had done, she never kept a track on the slots available and offered a role when there’s someone in need of it.

For example, she gave Helion the role since her experiences with blueprints and so on might help him thus he became the court blacksmith.

She offered one to Keiko and Keomi since they were venturing out with danger lurking around every corner. Back then she only had a few slots so she used it on the two highest levels.

Currently, the holders of titles in her court were Aarim, Keiko, Keomi, Helion and Kanae.

Since it doesn’t cost mana, Shiro wondered if she could still appoint people into her court.

’Now that I think of it, with 11 slots free, I can give everyone in the party one. Not that they need it but it’ll be a helpful boost. I’m just not sure what kind of title it would give to Nan Tian though.... I can probably give Shiina, Oran and Akhess a title each.’ Shiro thought to herself.

She didn’t want to give it to Nan Tian just yet since it might give him something stupid like Divine Court Therapist with how things are going right now.

But now that she saw this skill, she could understand what Aarim was talking about when it came to her constantly pushing herself.

Now that she couldn’t fight for a while, Shiro figured that it was probably a good time to go through her skills and see what she could do with them.

"I’m not sure if this will work but you know how Aarim has a title that links her to me in the divine court?" Shiro asked as Madison nodded.

"The skill itself doesn’t require mana so I’m not sure if I can still activate it but if it does, it’ll be a decent boost to you."

"We can certainly give it a go." Madison nodded with a smile.

Taking a deep breath, Shiro stood up and let go of Nan Tian’s sleeve. Remembering how she would activate the skill, Shiro stuck out her hand as she opened her mouth.

"Madison, on my authority as the Nanotech Demi Goddess, do you accept a role in my court? Do note that once this is done, the role cannot be revoked." Shiro asked as small motes of light started to gather. There was no movement of mana or divine energy within her body but the ambient mana provided by her anchor was being drawn towards her. Those outside would be able to see Shiro’s anchor flicker and glow as some kneeled down to pray.

Watching the motes gathered towards her hand and form the staff used for this ritual, Shiro was a little surprised. It felt as though the world around her was part of her body.

All of the mana could be used and it didn’t need to go through her links at all. She felt as though her control was all encompassing. She wondered if this is what it meant to be a demi god but she set that aside for now. She had plenty of time to sit down and reflect on all the changes in her body and class but right now she had to finish the ritual.

"I accept." Madison nodded as the motes of light transformed into a magic circle beneath Madison.
