  Since this was the first bomb of its kind, Shiro was going to make sure that she used everything to make sure that this surpassed all expectations.

  Raising her hand up, a swarm of nanobots appeared as they morphed into a rail cannon. Loading the bomb into the chamber, Shiro snapped her fingers and tens of tier 7 magic circles appeared on the barrel.

  Each of the spells were acceleration as well as amplification circles that was tightly compacted along the length of the barrel.

  Cracking her neck, Shiro took a deep breath and aimed the cannon down.

  Opening the portal to her bunker, Shiro smiled and set the cannon to fire the moment her presence disappeared.

  Putting her hands together in a praying motion like when Japanese people said thanks for the food, Shiro smirked.

  "Thanks for the EXP~"

  Closing the portal, the cannon immediately started to hum as the mechanisms started to shift.

  Mana immediately drained from the surroundings as the cannon fired the bomb.

  Passing through the tens of tier 7 magic circles that were designed to amplify its power, a bright spot of light shot towards the ground as the surroundings seemed to be drained of its colours from the brightness of the light.

  Looking towards the bomb in silence, the boss of the dungeon couldn’t help but feel the clutch of death tightening around his throat.

  Realising that this could be extremely dangerous, he wanted to seek shelter under ground.

  Hundreds of claws erupted out from his body as he dug down but when the claws were rebounded by a layer of nanobots swarming below the sand, he could only watch in horror as his passage below ground denied.

  With the bomb halting in the sky for a moment, the boss knew that it was going to explode as his body expanded in an instant, wrapping himself in a thick layer of darkness.

  Erupting out without any sound, all the beasts could see was white as they were disintegrated in a single instance.

  Slamming against the walls of the dungeon, the entire place shook as cracks formed and the dome was broken apart.

  In the real world, a single pillar of light ruptured the ground apart as darkness immediately surged from all the corners of the world.

  "F*CKING HELL! Why the hell did Shiro have to amplify it more!?!?! With the power of a demi god no less!!" Nyx shouted out in rage as immediately knew that something bad was going to happen if she didn’t make a move.

  Slamming her hands together, tens of tier 8 magic circles materialised against the pillar of light to stop its expansion. The only reason she was allowed to even do this was that the system had given her the authority to interfere with the world due to how powerful the bomb that Shiro created was. If she was to let it go, the entire city of Miriel might have been wiped out without a trace of it left.

  *PING!

  Hearing the sound of glass shattering, Nyx could only watch in horror as fractures appeared on her tier 8 magic circles. Piercing the sky, the light overshadowed the brightness of the sun as Nyx was forced to exert herself even more. Her own divinity over night was being pushed back as the pillar continued to release energy into its surroundings.

  Clicking her tongue, she glanced at the system and opened her mouth.

  "Request to release Divine Form."

  [Permission granted.]

  Suddenly, a tier 9 magic circle appeared around her. She did not create this magic circle but it was responsible for the golden chains surrounding her body that were normally invisible to the eye.

  Turning counter clockwise, the chains around her body started to unravel as darkness seeped out of Nyx’s flesh, obscuring her body from sight.

  Manifesting as a giant entity with a pair of glowing purple eyes and swirling darkness as her body, Nyx didn’t say anything as she sliced down with her hand.

  Suddenly, all light in the world seemed to disappear for a moment as the explosion was consumed by the darkness.

  The moment the explosion stopped; the chains tightened around Nyx’s body as she struggled for breath. Her form immediately shrunk as darkness was dispelled.

  *COUGH!!!!

  Coughing for air, Nyx collapsed on one knee as the tier 9 magic circle disappeared and faded away along with the chains.

  Panting for a moment to regain her breath, she calmed herself down and looked at the distortion in space that was quickly mending itself.

  "Goodness, how much trouble are you even going to give me." She shook her head as her body was forcefully sent out of the material world. She wasn’t allowed to be here at this time after all. It was only because it was an emergency that she was even allowed.

  Meanwhile, Shiro was curious as to what’s happening outside since she had created the bunker after upgrading her celestial path. Since her bomb used mana, the upgraded celestial path could take care of it and when enhanced with divine energy, make for a sturdy bunker that could help them survive this blast.

  Feeling the shaking, she knew that the explosion was still happening as her system rang with several notifications. But there were a few that took priority.

  [Nyx is shocked and has asked for you to never use this bomb again. The system has allowed her access to the material world in order to suppress the destruction caused.]

  [Nyx states that if the system didn’t do anything, Miriel and perhaps even the majority of the elven continent could have been wiped out. Not only was the bomb plenty strong already, but you also enhanced it with the power of god. With your divinity over nanobots and the skills that you have, you should be more conscious of your own power.]

  [Nyx states that if you continue to test the limits of power that this world can hold for now, you will be forcefully transported to the realm of gods until the world is ready to hold the power of divinity. Should that happen, you will not be able to interfere with the new age early on without heavy cost.]

  [Nyx warns you to be careful and that there might not be a second time.]

  Reading the notifications, Shiro was silent.

  She had been using her first life as a reference and was too excited when experimenting. She didn’t think about the consequences about what could happen.

  Just thinking about the fact that she could have killed Isilia and everyone else sent her into shock as she wondered if she should even continue to pursue greater strength.

  [Nyx states that you shouldn’t worry. If you are patient, the world will strengthen itself to support the power. It’s because you used it too early that the dungeon barriers actually shattered. After all, a tier 5/6 dungeon naturally could not handle the power of tier 7.]

  [Nyx states that there are gods that have more destructive powers than you, believe it or not, and that pursuing greater strength is not wrong. You just have to think more about the consequences the stronger you become since you are nearing the peak.]

  [Nyx is contacting you through her avatar with permission from the system.]

  Seeing the last notification, Shiro glanced up and saw Nyx materialise in front of her looking exhausted.

  "You really caused me quite a bit of trouble today." She said with a small smile.

  "I’m sorry." Shiro apologised immediately since she knew that this was her fault when not considering the limits of power that this dungeon could hold. Similar to the concept of the void bomb, the moment the explosion happened inside here and the barrier was shattered, a second ’void bomb’ would be activated in the outside world. If that happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

  Looking at her face that was paler than usual, Nyx sighed and patted her head.

  "It’s fine. Just be careful next time ok? I should have told you this when we saw you developing the bomb so it is also our fault to some extent. Take the dungeons as a reference to what power the world can hold. Right now, the highest dungeon is level 500 which means that the world can accept tier 5/6. When the new age starts, tier 6 dungeons will appear and that means the world can handle tier 6 easily. There won’t be any tier 7 dungeons or tier 8 but when gods and demi gods appear, that’s a sign.

  "It’s when the gods and demi gods appear that you know this bomb is ok to be used got that?" Nyx explained as Shiro nodded her head.

  "Thank you. For saving Miriel." Shiro replied.

  Nodding her head, Nyx looked at her avatar and saw that it was already fading.

  "How stingy, I just dealt with the bomb at the forced request of the system and now it’s already sending me away. Just be careful ok Shiro? Also, I’m surprised that a piece of the boss survived so you might want to deal with that." Nyx smiled as she disappeared.

  Sitting there in silence, Shiro stood up and started to make her way out of the bunker without saying anything. She had to clean up the mess she left first.

  Looking down at her hand, she came to a realisation.

  She was both the potential saviour and the potential destroyer of this world.
