Chapter 883 Unstable Void Bomb
Sitting on a crystal white throne in the middle of the desert was the boss that Bonne had mentioned.
With hundreds of eyes around his body, it was almost impossible to hide from his sight should you face him personally.
Every move would be copied and the only thing you can do is retreat.
Right now, he was listening to the reports by the various high ends which spoke about earthquakes, the mysterious woman hunting them in packs and how she can control weapons remotely.
Hearing all of this, he narrowed his main pair of eyes and cracked open its mouth.
"Survey the area equally. Have all the high ends keep an eye on the entire dungeon." He spoke slowly as the high ends nodded before leaving.
Once the high ends left, the boss relaxed on his seat when he felt someone nearby and instantly stood up.
His eyes swirled around to find the intruder as Shiro could be spotted sitting above the throne.
"Yo, I had Bonne teleport me here to see what you look like for myself but I must say, you are one ugly mother*cker." Shiro grinned.
The boss had a wolf like head that seemed as though it was a sculpture, there was no fur or flesh, only a material that resembled marble. His maw was twisted open in the middle and had bones sticking out of the sides. A long protruding spine could be seen travelling all the way out his back as each of the sections looked as though they weren't connected.
His arms were muscular and abnormally long. His claws and hand were coloured completely black and faded to the marble white that covered his face around the elbow area.
A fleshless ribcage with 'skin' tightly stretched across the top and a pair of hind legs which was covered with a bone armour that protruded out of his thighs. A long bony tail that was in a similar state to his spine where none of the sections seemed to be connected.
On top of all of this, hundreds of eyes littered his body while tiny spikes like teeth surrounded them. Every time an eye blinked, the teeth would clasp shut.
"You're the one that's been hunting us." The boss spoke slowly as a bone whip suddenly extended out of his spine and whipped towards her.
Phasing through her body, Shiro only smirked.
"That's quite a rude greeting isn't it? Though considering what I'm about to do to you, I suppose it's warranted." Shiro laughed.
Narrowing his main pair of eyes, the boss was confused when he couldn't copy her invulnerability.
"You must be confused right? I bet you are. Want me to tell you?" Shiro rested her chin on her palm with a sadistic smile in her eyes.
"If you beg, I might just tell you~" She snickered as the boss only frowned.
"Che, no fun. Say, this is the last time you can speak so you might as well interact with me a little. If not, I'll have to kill you without you being able to do anything you know?" Shiro smiled.
"You cannot kill me for I am immortal. I require no food and everything you do to harm me will be copied. I am undefeated." The boss replied as Shiro only laughed.
"That's because you haven't met me." She grinned.
"You know, I didn't think you were this stupid. Immortal? Pft, if the system didn't want you, you'll be deleted in an instant. You require no food? Bullshit. You're absorbing mana right now, without mana, you'll starve. Everything I do to harm you will be copied? Only if you get enough information. You're undefeated? Prepare to be defeated by yours truly then." Shiro laughed as she stood up. She wanted to have a small talk and maybe get some information before killing them all but since he was like this, she could guess that he wasn't about to tell her anything important.
"You should probably think about the things you like about life since death arrives in an instant." Shiro glanced back with a smirk as her red eyes seemed to glow menacingly.
Disappearing from her spot, the boss was now left alone to contemplate over what she had said.

Returning to the base, Shiro glanced at Estrella.
"Ready?" She smiled as Estrella nodded her head.
"Bonne, you stay down here. I'll give you something to watch the situation on the surface if you want but remember, enter the bunker that I made ok?" Shiro reminded as Bonne nodded his head.
"Mn be careful. If they copy you they might become immune to the attack." He cautioned.
Nodding her head, Shiro grabbed Estrella and teleported as high as they could. The dungeon would naturally have a limit to how high they can go so they continued until they saw the barrier blocking everything.
"Good. Let's get started then." Shiro grinned as Estrella nodded her head.
Closing her eyes, two tier 5 magic circles appeared around her as a portal to the pocket dimension was opened.
Making the space inside much larger than the one in the experiments, Estrella couldn't help but worry about the destructive outcome.
'Surely this wouldn't break the dungeon right?' She asked herself. With this being a level 500 dungeon, the barrier should be much stronger. The chances of the barrier breaking was slim.
However, seeing the amount of power that Shiro was gathering, she couldn't help but worry.
Funnelling her mana into the dimension, Shiro started the construction of the bomb using the dimension as the shell.
Divine Energy radiated from her body as it empowered the bomb.
Etching the runes into the walls of dimension, Shiro dedicated half of her attention to finalising the bomb while the other half was responsible for the spell circles.
While both Shiro and Estrella were focusing on making the bomb, Nimue was watching with a confused expression.
&123;While you were sleeping, the two were experimenting with different ways of making the void bomb work. And the result was quite destructive as you can guess. Not only that, since it's using Divine Energy, it's more potent than what can be accomplished with mana.&125; Iziuel said as she walked over to Nimue.
&123;I know that but wouldn't it just be like her rail cannons. What's with all of this preparation?&125; Nimue asked as Iziuel shook her head.
&123;That's because Shiro got a notification from the system.&125;
&123;Oh no…&125; Nimue muttered since whenever Shiro gets a notification for this kind of thing, it was always crazy.
Nodding her head, Iziuel wrote down the notification that Shiro received.
[You have created the blueprint for an unstable void bomb. If a bigger prototype is created and the results meet the requirement, the system shall reward you for your accomplishment.]
Looking at the message that the system sent to Shiro, Nimue widened her eyes since this means that the system was evaluating the bomb that Shiro was about to create. Naturally, for the system to evaluate it means that it hasn't been done before.
&123;Seems like they've finished. All they need is to compress now.&125; Iziuel muttered.
Slamming her hands together, a golden tier 6 magic circle appeared and the energy within the pocket dimension started to compress.
Funnelling some divine energy into Estrella, Shiro watched as she compressed the pocket dimension. Her tier 5 magic circle started to flicker more as the signs of a tier 6 spell started to solidify.
The initial size of the pocket dimension was roughly a 200 meter cube. Compressing everything down was difficult even for Shiro since they gave up on safety for raw power.
Gritting her teeth, Shiro decided to activate her demi god form. Since they were camouflaging themselves in the sky, the sudden burst of energy from her body was concealed as she immediately focused her mind on helping Estrella compress the realm.
Her tier 6 magic circle shifted into tier 7 and the bomb itself started to shrink at a faster pace than before.
Seeing that Estrella was still struggling a little, Shiro floated next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Just relax and control the divine energy in your body. It's more powerful than mana so you can be a bit more rough with it. Just think about squeezing this dimension into a tiny orb." Shiro said as Estrella nodded her head.
With Divine Energy flowing through her body, the tier 5 magic circle shattered apart before reforming into a tier 6 magic circle.
Dark purple runes lit up on Estrella's arms as her aura intensified.
Her face was in a trance as she swiped up with her finger. Collapsing the pocket dimension, Shiro was confused since this would just ruin it but when the collapse was halted just before disappearing, Estrella smiled at Shiro.
"I did it. If I halt it during the collapse, it'll be like a grenade. A single touch would offset the balance and it'll detonate with all of the stored energy. The dimension wouldn't destroy everything inside of it but rather send it out all at once. Unlike the previous test where we open a hole manually, this one should explode without wasting anything at all" Estrella panted by she had an excited look in her eyes.
Holding the orb of swirling purple energy the size of a golf ball using divine energy, Shiro smiled at Estrella.
"You can go back and rest for now."
Sending Estrella back to the mana realm, Shiro looked down at the desert dungeon and smiled.
