Chapter 954 Vision of Danger
Seeing the familiar face of the kid that gave her a backpack and was eventually known as a hero, Shiro couldn't help but furrow her brows.
"What happened, why are you fallen? Where's Jonas?" Shiro asked as Raoul took down his hood, revealing his face that was scarred completely on the left side.
Looking at the scar, Shiro realised the aura. It was a similar aura to the scar on her back in the future.
A corrupted wound that could not heal no matter what she did. A scar of defeat.
"Jonas died." Was Raoul's response.
Seeing his expression and hearing his tone of voice, Shiro flinched in her mind as it reminded her of herself when the Light Hero killed her.
"What happened?" Shiro asked with concern but he shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. Setting that aside, I heard that Ahmiya said you could arm us with weapons." Raoul shook his head as there was only one goal left in his life. To kill the one who tortured his teacher in front of his eyes.
Sensing the killing intent leaking out of his body, Shiro sighed heavily. The shy kid that had brought her the bed was now long gone. All that remains is a killing machine that will lose his sanity once his goal has been reached. Since the gods have not appeared yet, Shiro knew that his goal could be probably accomplished soon.
'A real shame.' Shiro closed her eyes before looking back at Raoul.
"Yes I can. I can provide the fallen with weapons that can deal a decent chunk of damage to tier 6's should they be caught off guard." Shiro replied.
"How many weapons can you provide and are there any that can possibly destroy the Queen's in one go?" Raoul asked but Shiro shook her head.
"I can provide weapons to everyone here. However, I cannot kill a Queen in one go." Shiro shook her head as Raoul furrowed his brows.
"That's fine then. If you want to join the fight with us, you can. Otherwise we just need the weapons." Raoul nodded.
Providing a decent amount of weapons for everyone here, ranging from bracelets with skills to snipers and cannons, Shiro couldn't help but feel like she was a weapons dealer now.
Though to be honest that's what she had done in the future so it wasn't too strange.
Her main concern was still what happened to Jonas for Raoul to turn this way.
Plus, she was also curious about his scar down the face since it might give her an idea of who did the same to her in the future.
As they were distributing weapons, Shiro was surprised at the sheer number of fallen gathered here. Each of them radiated a malevolent aura as Shiro guessed that they were either around the peak of tier 5 or some of them even being tier 6's.
"Raoul, can I ask you about what happened? What caused you to become fallen and what's that scar on your face?" Shiro asked as Raoul paused.
"I just want to get revenge for Jonas. Nothing more nothing less. The scar is just a mark of shame. That Empress left me alive even though she could have killed me easily. Knowing her personality, there's no way that she'll leave a relic this powerful alone." Raoul narrowed his eyes as Shiro frowned.
'Another Empress. He's either talking about the Chimera Empress or someone else of the same rank is here. With two Empresses not including me, this battle is going to get crazy.' Shiro thought with a frown as Nimue agreed.
&123;I would say that we should just bomb everything now but I doubt it'll work.&125; Nimue sighed.
'Mn, plus it's a good chance to see their powers for ourselves. Even if it's a little risky, I want to gather as much information as I can. Even if we don't retrieve the rainbow relic, as long as we destroy it while gathering information, I'll say it's worth it.'
After distributing the weapons, Shiro talked to Raoul about how many Queens were here along with their power. It seemed like he had already found out that the Chimera Empress was here hence why they were camping out a little further away than he had hoped since going into combat now would be akin to setting a whole storage of bombs alight.
The chain reaction would be disastrous.
Naturally, the ones to start this will most likely be killed first.
As they were distributing weapons, Shiro suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Her vision started to distort for a moment as her surroundings was surrounded by a mass of flesh.
Eyes suddenly turned towards her as the mass of flesh writhed in anger.
In front of her, a single girl stood with corpses surrounding her body.
Blood tears flowed out her eyes as she looked back.
Black corruption markings could be seen on her body as the white hair fluttered in the wind.
Opening her mouth, she turned towards Shiro.
"By the authority of the primordial god of time, I shall turn back time. Return to a time before pandora's box was opened! Send a vision, a warning! The same mistake shall not be repeated!" The woman shouted out.
Strangely enough, Shiro could see a name tag turning black as blood continued to flow from her eyes.
Her heart stopped seeing the name tag as it was her own. Surrounding her were the bodies of all those that she wanted to involve. Nan Tian, Lyrica, Silvia, Madison, Isilia, Helion and so on. Everyone was dead around her and the world was reduced to nothing but a giant mass of flesh with eyes looking towards her.
Her body was injured with open wounds but they were soon healed by this black substance which flowed out from her body as her name tag was turning black.
Slamming her hands together, a tier 8 magic circle flared up as a pillar of light shot into the sky.
Looking towards Shiro, her future self smiled and mouthed a few words before a blinding light filled her vision.
Flung back by an invisible force, Shiro crashed against the building as she threw up a mouthful of blood.
Shocked at what had just happened, both Nan Tian and Raoul rushed to her side in a panic.
Seeing that Shiro was unconscious, Nan Tian frowned and looked at Raoul.
"I'm taking her back. If you need us, call this phone. Goodbye." Nan Tian said as he quickly swooped up Shiro into his arms.
Dashing towards the barrier, Nan Tian watched as Ahmiya opened a path for him.
Nodding his head in appreciation, Nan Tian didn't waste any time in making his way back to the city.

"What the hell was that!?" Gaia stood up as she couldn't believe what they had just saw.
"Chronos! Explain!" Nyx shouted out as Chronos was already chanting something under his breath.
Slamming his hands together, a single thread could be seen as there were small extensions. One of which is snapped in two.
"This is definitely a sign of my power. I don't have knowledge on what had happened but the following fight is disastrous. That mass of flesh we saw, it's definitely a tier 8 being." Chronos replied with a serious expression on his face.
Hearing this, both Nyx and Gaia were worried about what was going to happen.
"How far in the future is that?" Nyx asked as Chronos furrowed his brows and opened his mouth.
"8 hours."
"Only 8 hours?" Nyx crossed her legs as she tapped her finger on the table.
"Chronos, since she's used your power in the future, I'm guessing her charge of the rainbow item has decreased by one." Nyx asked as Chronos nodded.
"I can no longer sense my power on the item. She has used my power along with summoning me. But it seems like it was a failure. It's unfortunate but until the second part of the new age, I can no longer help her out." Chronos shook his head.
Hearing this, Gaia scratched her head in annoyance since Chronos' power was one of the more helpful ones. Had Shiro summoned Chronos, it would have meant that Chronos could easily stop time and yet he still failed when Shiro summoned him.
Biting her nails, Gaia looked at Chronos.
"Can you show us what happened in the future where it was cut off?" Gaia asked but Chronos shook his head.
"It's already been shown. What Shiro saw was everything that could have been sent to the past. Which means I was either heavily injured in 8 hours time. Or…" Chronos trailed off before sighing.
"Or I might have been killed for such little information to be sent."
Hearing this, the other gods stayed silent as they didn't think the first rainbow grade item on earth would cause the death of a god.
Thinking about it for a moment, Gaia stood up.
"Nyx, I might need to borrow something from you." Gaia said with seriousness as Nyx frowned.
"Even if you manifest yourself in your true state there's not much you can do if you don't know the danger. Even old man Chronos was killed, what makes you think that you'll be safe. Plus, what do you think will happen should you return once you breach this? Just watch for now, I'll think of something." Nyx narrowed her eyes as she watched the screen with anxiety.
