Chapter 1216: Meeting Odin

"So, there are two appointments to make. One with the Norse pantheon which I need to contact Loki for and the other is with a stranger called Zenotype. From what we can understand, the Norse want to form an alliance for plots of land while Zenotype is interested in nanobots. Hmm… Ok, lets meet with Tyr first before meeting Zenotype. While gods have indeed shown some small interest with my nanobots, Zenotype is the first to act this way." Shiro shrugged as she was currently sitting in a room with Nan Tian, Aarim, Madison and Helion.

"Yep, I have a pretty good impression of Tyr but Zenotype is a bit more mysterious. He had a similar feeling to you when you used your nanotech divinity a while back. I think it's safe to conclude that he's a technology based god, especially with his interest in your nanobots." Madison chimed in as Shiro nodded her head.

"I suggest that we have these meetings in a separate dimension just in case things go south. I doubt they will but you never know." Shiro shrugged.

"I suppose I'll start making a decent pocket dimension for this meeting then." Aarim nodded before standing up.

With everyone waiting around for a moment, Shiro opened her mouth and prepared to call upon Loki.

[Loki says don't bother calling for her, she's been watching the whole time and will call upon the others once you're ready. The gods that will be appearing for the meeting will be Odin, Thor, the great Loki herself and Tyr since he was the one who arranged most of this.]

Seeing this, Shiro nodded her head as another message appeared.

[Loki states that there are a few things to look out for but overall you don't need to show much respect since they were the ones wanting something from you. If it was me, I would joke around as much as possible.]

Reading this, Shiro chuckled and shook her head.

Even though she might be light hearted at times, joking around and not taking anything seriously, she didn't like to play around in these kinds of moments.

Especially when it is to do with information that will help them through the new age.

Waiting for Aarim to finish setting up the room, Shiro placed a single wooden round table in the centre along with several chairs. Looking at the emptiness of the void, Shiro snapped her finger and redecorated the place a little.

Grass started to appear beneath their feet followed by a river, trees and the blue skies. Creating a pavilion where the meeting will take place, Shiro had transformed the empty void into a garden.

Naturally, everything here was done using the powers she obtained due to her link with Iziuel. Sitting down on the chair in the centre, Nan Tian sat to her right, Madison to her left, Helion sat next to Madison and Aarim sat next to Nan Tian.

Without saying anything, Shiro watched as divine energy started to converge in front of them.

"Yahoo~ Hope we're not too late hehe." Loki called out with a grin as Shiro smiled at how energetic she was.

"Nope, we only just sat down. The chair's not even warm yet." Shiro cracked a light joke as she glanced pass Loki and stared at the figure behind her.

With long white hair, a large stature and an eyepatch with a single crest embossed onto the surface that faintly glimmered with a golden sheen.

"Odin." Shiro greeted as she knew this man was the All Father, Odin.

"Miss Asakura." Odin smiled and greeted back.

"You can just call me Shiro, I'm not too used to people calling me by my last name." Shiro shrugged as she gestured for them to sit down.

Nodding his head, Odin sat down and waved his hand at the gods that followed him.

Even Loki showed a rare moment of seriousness as she sat down next to Thor.

"Before we begin, I must ask about what you plan with the world. Miss Shiro, the Nanotech goddess, the anomaly, and… The First Born of Destruction." Odin grinned as Shiro narrowed her eyes.

"Don't look at me so, I gave up quite a lot to get this eye of mine upgraded from its original state. If it didn't tell me about your identity, especially one as important as yours, I would be rather disappointed. So tell me, what do you intend to do with this world harbinger of destruction." Odin asked as Shiro leaned back.

"Don't use such fancy titles as that. As for this world, well… Even with my identity, you should know that I do not wish destruction upon everyone right?"

"Of course, but I need to confirm things. I need to hear you speak your intentions so that I can be sure." Odin waved his hand nonchalantly.

"I want to usher a new age, free of interference from gods and higher powers. Let the humans and demi humans live life on this planet and the gods restrained to a different dimension, never to interfere directly." Shiro replied honestly as this was the conclusion she had come to.

She knew the role she had as one of the most powerful beings in this universe should she be in her prime. While she wasn't sure of her destiny, she knew that she HAD to rise as the victor and claim the title of ruler. That way, the world will not die and obliterate everything they know and love. There was no room for failure, this new age had to be won by her.

As for what came after, she saw far too much destruction as a result of gods. Beings that transcend mortal power should not interfere with the lives of the innocent.

She will separate the world so that the mortals with no power can live without fear and enjoy life to its fullest. Those that wanted to gain power will be allowed to do so at their own risk without interference of gods. As for gods, well they can watch the mortal lives like a show, unable to interfere.

Explaining everything to Odin, everyone listened carefully including her friends as this was the first time they were hearing this.

Once she laid out her thoughts and ideals, Odin stayed silent for a moment before taking a deep breath.

"Hmm interesting. A tad different to what I had expected but that is fine." Odin smirked before looking at the gods beside him.

"While I cannot do what I wish just yet, I can offer you this. The Norse pantheon wish to become your ally and be taken under your wing. In return, I will offer you all the information I can give and hope you will give us a place to flourish at the end of everything." Odin chuckled as the all of the Norse gods with him right now widened their eyes in surprise at what Odin had just said.

Thor wanted to say something but Odin signalled for him to stay quiet and observed Shiro's reaction.

Blinking her eyes, Shiro opened her mouth.

"You do realise what you're saying right?" Shiro asked with a complicated expression.

"Yes. It is no doubt that you will grow beyond our comprehensions. Even as Odin, with my all seeing eye, I cannot fathom the true powers of a First Born. My limit has already been reached. In the future, I know full well that gods like me will become pawns, expendable and useless like cannon fodder. Which is why I'm seeking your protection, in hopes that this pantheon is not wiped out." Odin said as he seemed fatigued. It was the look of a person who couldn't do anything else.

Staying silent, Shiro opened her mouth.

"I don't know what will happen but I can try my best. I can't guarantee anything though, since you know I have priorities as well." Shiro reminded as Odin sighed in relief.

"That's fine. I asked knowing full well of the risks and I am satisfied." Odin nodded, feeling as though a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

Leaning back, he closed his eye and thought back to what caused him to ask for this kind of deal in the first place.

It was only recently that he had managed to upgrade his all seeing eye in hopes of finding out what would happen in the future of this dark era where First Born's will awaken once more. Standing alone at the peak was a white haired maiden. Burning red eyes and the aura of death erupted from her body.

Everything she touched disintegrated to ash. The laws of reality, rewritten. The world as he knew it was changed. However, the Norse pantheon was no where in sight nor was any other pantheon. He knew that this foresight granted by his eye was a potential future but the fact that this exists haunted him.

He will not let his family, his pantheon disappear like this. He will offer everything to this goddess of destruction so long as his family will live on.

With a refreshed smile on his face, Odin looked at Shiro.

"Now then, what do you wish to know about the gods? I had heard from Tyr that you were interested in these cards that we were distributing."
