Chapter 1247: Talking With Isilia

Feeling an unfamiliar source of energy within her body, Gaia wanted to test it out as soon as possible. Plus, it was a gift from Shiro so it was only natural that it'll be something beyond normal logic.

Tapping into the new source of power, she could feel it resonate with her own divinity.

Slamming her hand down, a tier 9 magic circle appeared beneath her as vines erupted out, changing the landscape into a forest of her command.

Her eyes lit up in excitement as she noticed that the vines had been fused with nanobots.

"Shiro! Do you have any blueprints for me to use?!" Gaia shouted out as her heart pounded with adrenaline.

While she couldn't create blueprints in her mind like Shiro could and make the most out of the nanobots, if Shiro was to create a blueprint for her, then there would be no issues.

Naturally, Shiro heard Gaia's request and couldn't help but chuckle. Since she did promise a mech before, this is the time for her to respond in kind.

Waving her fingers, the nanobots around Gaia started to converge towards her position as robotic parts started to form around her.

Armour plating coloured a lush green and white appeared as Gaia's Mech slowly revealed itself.

With Gaia now in the cockpit, she could see a tiny hologram of Shiro on the desk.

"Sup. I'll be guiding you through the mech controls. I have simplified them for you so that you can enjoy yourself fully. To your left you can see all of the features, to your right you can see your weapons. I have linked your sensory to the mech so that it essentially feels like you're fighting out there." The hologram Shiro explained with a smile.

"Now enjoy yourself to the fullest. In this domain, the mech will have unlimited regeneration due to your own divinity and mine so don't worry about the damage."

Hearing the encouragement, Gaia narrowed her eyes with a menacing grin.

Glancing over at the weapons, she summoned a pair of metallic vine whips.

"Come here mother*ckers! You had some fun earlier eh?! Now it's my turn!" Gaia shouted out in glee as she piloted the mech with surprising proficiency. Even if Shiro did simplify the controls for her, this degree of control was impossible unless she had been studying up the controls in her spare time.

Seeing that Gaia was now enjoying herself, Shiro turned her attention to Hades and the others. With her mother by Hades' side, Shiro had made sure their enemies got what they deserved for messing with her mother.

The domain that they received was one that bolstered them with stats akin to triple berserker skill activations while the enemies received every single debuff she could provide along with infinite regeneration that could be controlled by Hades. That way, they could prolong their suffering.

"Seems like you're having fun." Isilia's voice rang out as Shiro turned her attention towards her.

"Well… to a certain degree. Just watching everyone enjoy the buffs I'm sending their way." Shiro chuckled.

"I take it that you've caught up to date with what happened from Lyrica?"

"Mnm I did. I have to say, I'm rather surprised. The world of creation, your new core, mysterious third party… Seems like things are going out of control now." Isilia laughed.

"Just a little. None of the gods can touch me now and the one who can match me, The First Born of Creation, is just a hollowed shell. My predecessor already made sure that another First Born of Creation will not be born. Even if Aria is a shard of her just like how I'm a shard of Destruction. Only exception being that I'm essentially the True First Born of Destruction." Shiro shrugged.

"Must be rough. You have to keep getting stronger but there's no one to push you forward." Isilia muttered while leaning against the wall next to Shiro.

"Without adversity, it's hard for people to get stronger even if they train. They can't tell if what they're doing is truly enough."

Hearing this, Shiro couldn't help but nod her head.

"So what did you do with Aekari's daughter? I heard from Lyrica that Nimue mentioned you were fighting Aekari and that he was begging for his daughter's life." Isilia asked curiously.

"What do you think I should've done? Should I have killed her as well to show him despair, or should I have saved her?"

Shiro wanted to hear what Isilia thought about the situation since she also had a vendetta against Aekari. Not to mention all the horrible things he subjected to his victims.

"Well… It's hard to say. I hate Aekari, but I understand his thoughts as a parent." Isilia sighed after a long pause.

"If Aekari was about to kill me, and Lyrica was in the same situation as his daughter, I would also beg for her life. Though I wouldn't trust him like he did with you since I know he isn't a good person. He would definitely tie up loose ends. Whereas Shiro, you would most likely show mercy." Isilia smiled while looking at Shiro.

"Am I that predictable?" Shiro let out a bitter smile.

"Just a tad. But it's not a bad trait so don't worry about it. Naturally, it's not like you give second chances to everyone and anyone. If people cross you, you take them out." Isilia shrugged. She didn't know the correct answer to whether or not Shiro should've spared the daughter. But knowing what Shiro was like, Aekari took advantage of her good nature.

"I decided to let her live in the city. Her memory has been wiped and she is unable to gain power. She doesn't know that her life was saved due to her father nor does she know about the life she had before. But she's alive, and if Aekari was truly a father at the end of his life, he would wish the same I presume."

"That's true… Now speaking of daughters, I happen to hear that you and Lyrica are together now."

Hearing this, Shiro froze up as she slowly glanced towards Isilia's face and saw a mischievous grin.

"I suppose I should call you daughter in law?" Isilia laughed as Shiro punched her lightly on the arm.

"Oh shut it. Honestly I thought you'd be more against the idea." Shiro rolled her eyes.

"Ha? What made you think that? I just find it funny that I've basically become your elder. Plus, I'm sure you'll treat Lyrica well so I'm not worried." Isilia smiled.

"Though I thought that you had a thing with Nan Tian no? I do hope that you're not dating Lyrica out of pity. Because as your friend and Lyrica's mother, I'd have to hit you if you are." She asked curiously as Shiro shook her head.

"Of course I'm not. What kind of person do you think I am? It's just that the only thing really holding me back from Lyrica was that she's your daughter and that I thought she was just in love with me due to being dependent. For Nan Tian… I do have feelings for him, that I can't deny. But seeing as how Lyrica decided to confess even after all that time away, I decided to let the feelings grow I suppose. Plus, ever heard of 'Never sail on two boats?' Being greedy for the two of them is just a bit… no." Shiro explained.

"And I want to focus as much as I can on my partner if I get into a relationship."

Hearing this, Isilia nodded her head in understanding.

"Well I'm glad you've made your choice. It's a shame since I wanted grandkids but I suppose I can just dote on Yin since she's technically my granddaughter now ahahaha." Isilia laughed.

"You're getting ahead of yourself a bit too much, dumbass." Shiro couldn't help but roll her eyes at how Isilia was acting.

Plus, she had some extra knowledge from the future. She had ways of making things possible between her and Lyrica so that they could have a biological child but Isilia doesn't need to know about that for now. It would be extremely weird, even for Shiro, to go up to Isilia and say, "Oh don't worry, I can conceive a child with your daughter."

Just thinking of it caused Shiro to face palm.

Opening the doors, Lyrica could see Isilia teasing Shiro while Shiro was facepalming and she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about mum?" Lyrica asked out of curiosity.

"Oh nothing much. Just wondering about some grandchildren."

"MOTHER????" Lyrica shouted out in a mix of embarrassment and shock as her mind couldn't help but think about certain actions required for that to happen.

Meanwhile Edvimar froze up as his mind was trying to piece together the equation of how Shiro, a woman, and Lyrica, a woman, could have a child together.

"Oh don't worry about it too much. Let's go dear, those two should have some private time together." Isilia laughed as she grabbed Edvimar's arm and led him away.

Shiro and Lyrica could only stand there in awkwardness as both were blushing from the implications.
