  With Helion now sleeping peacefully, Shiro couldn’t help but shake her head.

  Making a blanket for him, she fixed the walls before stepping out of the room.

  "Are you sure you don’t want to heal him before you go? He was launched out of the room after all." Nan Tian asked as Shiro shook her head.

  "Nope. He’s being looked after by a god after all." Shiro smiled as she gestured towards Helion.

  Glancing over, Nan Tian could see a crest on the back of his hand as golden energy radiated to the rest of his body.

  The crest was quite simple, a hammer with flames behind it but Nan Tian knew who it belonged to.

  "He already had a good connection to Hephaestus from what we’ve seen before, but it seems like he’s become his proper pupil now. Hephaestus is even sharing some of his energy with Helion. The golden energy is divine energy that’s repairing and tempering his body, making it better than ever." Shiro explained as she could see the movement of divine energy within Helion’s body.

  "In that case then we shouldn’t disturb him then." Nan Tian chuckled.

  "Yup." Leaving the room, Shiro made sure everything was repaired before making her way back to the training hall.

  Now that she had her sword back, she wanted to give making the spell another go.

  Entering the training hall, Shiro took a deep breath and looked at the two runes already carved into the blade itself.

  Closing her eyes, she stabbed her sword down and divine energy exploded out of her body.

  Right now, with her capacity for divine energy, she can only cast a few origin spells and enhance a handful of normal spells. If she was to burn it all to make this time stop ability, it could prove to be a great assassination weapon. The only downside would be that she won’t be able to use divine energy for the rest of the day.

  Which means using the godly runes would be difficult.

  Remembering the right runes that she needed to use, golden energy weaved together on the blade.

  ’No…… this won’t work.’ She thought with a frown.

  She didn’t even need to continue to see that the energy inside was too unstable right now. Trying to slow time to a halt was no easy task and it required careful precision or else she’ll slow herself down, opening her to a lethal attack.

  Stomping down, she twisted her body and swung out with her blade.

  *BANG!!!!

  Suddenly, a crescent blade of energy exploded forth from her sword, carving deep into her tier 7 nanobots.

  "I might not have succeeded in activating the spell but this will be handy to know." Shiro muttered. If this attack could shred through her nanobots like they were nothing, she knew the offence power was not to be underestimated.

  "Is there anything I can help with?" Nan Tian asked as Shiro shrugged her shoulders.

  "Not sure. But we can certainly discuss it. Right now I’m having trouble with actually stabilising the surroundings enough so that I can ’pause’ time. The flow of time is constantly moving so trying to delay it even by a moment is a monumental task.

  "In the chamber, I had managed to stop it since it was similar to a small pool of water. But now, what I’m doing is akin to delaying the flow of a never ending waterfall the size of Earth." Shiro sighed as she leaned back.

  "Well…… from the sound of it you’re trying to control your surroundings. Why don’t you try threading yourself into that delayed time? If you’re having trouble stretching it out, wedge yourself inside it and force it to stretch out." Nan Tian suggested.

  He wasn’t sure about the details but to him this made sense.

  "Hmm…… I can certainly give it a go."

  ###

  "What!? NO!!! Let me slaughter that little sh*t!!!" Chronos jumped up from his seat in shock.

  Gripping his hair, he glared at Nan Tian with a murderous gaze.

  "What’s wrong?" Nyx asked as she was currently feeding Hemera some food. Both of them were watching the screen and wasn’t sure what was wrong.

  "This little sh*t is about to kill Shiro! You see, delaying time is fine since you’re just rerouting the path. Making it so that it takes longer to reach the destination. What the little sh*t just suggested, threading yourself in it, is akin to trying to drown yourself! If she does that, there’s a good chance that she’ll age in a blink of an eye and fade to ash!" Chronos slammed his hand down.

  "CRACK!!!!!!

  Breaking the trunk of a tree that she had just grown, Gaia turned around.

  "What did you just say?!" Gaia shouted out as she quickly stormed.

  "If we don’t stop them, she’ll kill herself!" Chronos repeated as everyone dropped what they were doing.

  ###

  Thinking about the runes that she might need, Shiro added some safety nets before telling Nan Tian to step back.

  Raising her sword, golden energy started to gather around her.

  However, before she could even do anything else, her vision was bombarded by notifications.

  [Goddess Gaia warns Shiro to stop.]

  [Chronos screams at Shiro to stop what she is trying to do and suggests strangling the one known as Nan Tian for suggesting something like this.]

  [Goddess Nyx points at the notifications above and tells Shiro to read them.]

  [Gaia shouts in indignation. If you’re going to do this at least marry me first!]

  [Ouranos coughs up blood at Gaia’s proclamation.]

  Seeing the messages popping up one after another, Shiro couldn’t help but massage her eyes.

  Each of the messages would have taken a toll to send and yet they’re sending things like arguments between them.

  [Gaia kicks Ouranos away and shouts don’t get in the way of my new happy marriage life!]

  "What happened?" Nan Tian asked as Shiro was about to open her mouth but Chronos was a step faster.

  Between them, a system notice appeared as both of them could see this message.

  [God Chronos tells Nan Tian to shut your ass up and stop suggesting dumb sh*t.]

  "…… ."

  "…… ."

  Staring at the message, the corner of Shiro’s lips started to twitch as she felt the urge to smack Chronos across the head.

  "What did I do wrong? I think Nan Tian’s suggestion is logical no?" Shiro asked as she immediately received a response.

  The most up-to-date novels are published on lightnovelworld[.]com

  [God Chronos explains that if you were to thread yourself through time, you are trying to become part of it. It means you don’t get to halt it but rather get dragged along with it. Meaning, you could age in a single instant and become a thing of the past. If you really want to ’thread’ yourself into the flow of time, the best way would be to ride it as though it was a wave. You need something to seperate yourself from the actual flow so that you don’t get dragged away by it.]

  Reading this, Shiro couldn’t help but feel cold sweat down her back.

  If she proceeded with their idea, she might have actually lost her life.

  However, her main concern was no longer on the fact that she almost messed up but rather what Chronos had mentioned.

  "You said that I needed something to keep myself separated from the flow. What would that thing be?"

  [God Chronos mentions that it’s just a theory. Having something that can withstand. God Chronos pauses.]

  Seeing this, Shiro understood that Chronos realised what she had in her hand.

  "Would the indestructible sword work as that thing to keep me from being dragged away?" Shiro asked.

  [God Chronos nods his head in agreement. If you were to use that sword as the point of separation, no matter how much the flow of time wants to drag you away, you’ll be safe. This is just a theory so you should still be careful. There hasn’t been a time where he has come in contact with something that is indestructible so it’s unknown whether or not this method could work.]

  "Well, are you able to give me a percentage on the chance of it succeeding?"

  [God Chronos says that there should be a 75% chance of you succeeding but it’s still going to be rough. Unless you use the eyes that you have been blessed with, the success rate will drop down to a meagre 20%.]

  "Hmm……"

  Tapping her chin, Shiro thought about what she should do with this information. The drain of her eyes combined with using the runes would drain her dry in an instant. Trying to keep her eyes activated for a long time is practically impossible.

  Furrowing her brows, Shiro realised something.

  "Chronos, you know that my sword is indestructible right? What if I allow this to thread itself into the flow of time without worrying that it’ll be destroyed. Would I be able to use the previous method but with this sword instead?" Shiro asked with a grin.

  [God Chronos contemplates about the possibility and nods his head. However, he suggests that you allow him to assist you and make sure you’re not dragged away with the sword.]

  Seeing this, Shiro’s eyes flickered with excitement.
