Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?-Novel

After teleporting the labs back to its original spot, Shiro placed the items that Nan Tian had brought on the table first.

As much as she wanted to use this chance to revert Aoi's body back to what it was, she had to do a few tests to see if Aarim's spell worked the way she thought it did. If it turned out that it was incompatible with her ability to see codes then it would be a rather awkward talk while performing surgery on Aoi's body.

There were several items that Nan Tian had brought and most of them were recovered from the northern research site where the Radiant Knights had attacked. These items composed of pieces of debris and weapons that had been damaged by Creation Energy. Should they succeed in repairing them, sorting out Aoi's body shouldn't be an issue so long as the method is the same.

Placing the first item on the table, Shiro gestured for Aarim to begin.

Nodding her heads, Aarim sat down.

"So you just want me to revert it back to its original state before it was damaged by creation energy right?" She asked just to be sure.

"Yep. Once you start casting the spell, I'll channel Error's power into you and have him help you direct your skill to the right areas. That should allow us to modify and revert the source code back to what it used to be." Shiro explained as Aarim massaged her neck before placing her hand over the debris.

Taking a deep breath, she activated her spell. Suddenly, tens of tiny magic formations appeared around her as they started to glow with a blue hue.

Understanding that this was her chance, Shiro placed her hand on Aarim's shoulder.

Circuits appeared around her arm.

'Should I control you for a bit or do you have it covered?' Shiro asked as Error thought about it for a moment.

'Mother should control my power for a short while so that you can familiarise yourself with editing source codes. Plus, with my understanding of mother's habits and feats, it shouldn't be long until you obtain a way to utilise my powers freely.' Error chuckled as Shiro shrugged.

Closing her eyes, she synced herself up with Error as her vision of the world started to shift.

"It might feel weird but I'll be controlling your spell through your body." Shiro said as Aarim nodded her head.

Glancing towards the source code of the debris, Shiro's view was overwhelmed by all of the information. Countless codes appeared before her, causing her to furrow her brows. When she did this with her divinity active, her mind could comprehend everything but now things were a little different. Without the passive ability that comes with her identity as the first born, keeping track of the information was now just a 'little' difficult.

'Calm down and focus mother. All of these codes write the history of this debris as well as it's composition. You don't need to understand everything, just the parts that have detail the presence of creation energy. Delete that then revert the history and the job should be done.'

Hearing Error's voice in her ear, Shiro nodded her head and focused her eyes.

Locating the codes that detail the destruction caused by Creation energy was rather easy since all of the codes had the same kind of glow. But since Creation was a foreign element that shouldn't be in this world, it stood out quite clearly and it didn't take long for Shiro to grab hold of it.

Narrowing her eyes, she controlled Error and 'devoured' that portion of code. However, to her surprise, the moment Error devoured that code the debris crumbled away into ash.

"That was not my intention." Shiro coughed as the timing was a lot tighter than what she had expected.

The moment the code was removed, it caused a domino effect and collapsed everything onto itself, destroying the debris completely.

Thinking about it for a moment, Shiro figured that it was probably better to use time magic while performing this surgery to give herself the highest chance of success.

Grabbing a second item, this time it was a door, Shiro repeated her previous action.

Looking through the sea of codes once more, she spotted the line that detailed Creation energy. Summoning Iriel, she tapped her finger on the blade and a pulse of green energy expanded through the room.

With time now slowed to a near halt, Shiro had Error consume the code once more. Before the structure could collapse on itself, she controlled Aarim spell and viewed the 'history' of the door.

'Aarim's skill works in two ways. Revert the 'save' or to overwrite it. Since I am aiming to change Aoi's body, I'll need to get a general feel for overwriting the code. The first step is to save what the code would have been like before the damage then replace parts of the current code to make it as though the damage never happened.'

Flicking through the codes that detail the history of this door, Shiro wasn't in too much of a rush since all of the mana was supplied by Jormungandr. Naturally, it wasn't as though she could just keep the room in this state since there was still a limit to her skill and while the burden on her body is negligible, it'll start pilling up soon.

'Found it.'

Grabbing the code, Shiro flicked her finger and 'saved' the code in that point of history before shifting her gaze to the current code that was missing a few parts.

Overlaying the two, she transformed several circuits into a pen and started to manually 'fix' the current code. While she could just skip this process by break off a part of the old code and fusing it with the new, she wanted to make sure everything was ok before optimizing her spell.

Double and triple checking to make sure the code was stable and that the change was ok, Shiro deactivated her spell.

With time now returning back to normal, everyone in the room watched as the door started to shake. Little by little it seemed to be twisting into itself, confusing Shiro as that shouldn't have happened.

Suddenly, she felt a spike of energy and grabbed Aarim, Aoi and Nan Tian. Pulling them down, she braced herself for the door to explode.

A few moments passed and no explosion was heard or felt. Looking at one another, the three of them poked their head up and saw the door stabilising itself slowly before returning to a normal door that didn't threaten to blow all of them up.

"Ignoring the fact that we almost got blown up by a door, I think that went rather smoothly." Aarim shrugged. The source of this ᴄontent is _Fire

"Well my intention was not blowing people up. I will say that we definitely need to delay trying this out on Aoi since i'm not too keen on the fact that it almost exploded. Once we fully stabilise the edit and make it so that it doesn't threaten to explode, we can try it out on Aoi." Shiro said as she grabbed the next item.

Nodded her head, Aarim prepared her spell once more.

###

The experiments weren't too difficult. After a few more tries, Shiro managed to figure out what caused the energy build up near the end that almost caused it to explode. It turns out that the reason for the build up was due to the sudden disappearance of creation energy. Even with Aarim's save and load, creation energy was a much higher form of mana and divine energy. Trying to overwrite its existence would have been a near impossible task should Error not be there to 'consume' that part of the code.

That build up of energy was simply the code stabilising itself. There will always be a build up but the key is to reduce the build up as much as possible.

Should Aoi experience the same build up, there was no telling what sort of changes it would cause. Therefore, Shiro postponed her surgery until further notice.

While she was experimenting, she didn't slack on gathering information around the world. With the second half of the new age now here, she needed to keep an eye out for gods that wanted to kill her. Even if she slowed down the process, several gods had already started to manifest.

The reason why Poseidon was able to manifest himself early was due to the large quantity of sea monsters under his control. As the god of the sea, it was only natural that he could forcefully generate faith using the monsters. There were a few exceptions like Poseidon but most were still being held back.

Within the list of exception was Hades as death was everywhere. Everyone believed in death and it was a simple matter to manifest himself. All he needed was a large amount of sacrifice whether that be intentional or unintentional.

Stretching his body, Hades massaged his neck.

"Fu… finally here. As much as I would like to meet Shiro right now I need to work on bringing her mother and the others to this world first. That way they can have a full reunion." Hades chuckled as he glanced into the distance.

"Time to make a temple of death I suppose."

Shrugging his shoulders, he started making his way towards a settlement he could see far into the distance.

Snapping his fingers, a pulse of dark energy exploded out, killing all the monsters on his path towards the settlement.

"There we go.. Now I can enjoy the scenery without any disturbances."
