Chapter 709 Primordial Divinity of Ouranos
Firing her sword, she watched as the figure tried to move out of the way but was a little too late.
*CRACK!!!!!
Stabbing deeply into his shoulder, Error lashed out with joy as circuits clawed at him in a frenzy.
Seeing this, the figure frowned and slammed his hands down as a wave of air rushed outwards, slamming Shiro into the ceiling.
"Uff!!" Feeling the air get knocked out of her lungs, Shiro gritted her teeth and collapsed on the ground.
Trying her best to get up, her vision blurred a little as she cursed in her mind.
'One careless move and I'm in this state.'
Looking towards the figure while trying her best to recover, she could see Error fighting with everything he's got.
Wrapping around the figure like a serpent, Error would try to invade its body whenever it could but he was having some difficulties invading the head so that he could get the killing blow in.
Taking a moment to recover, Shiro forced herself onto her feet and summoned her blade next to her and charged towards the Shard of Ouranos.
As it was mostly focused on Error who seemed to be able to ignore most of his defences, the shard didn't notice Shiro approaching quickly with her injured body.
Jumping up, she pulled her arms back with as much strength as possible.
Phantom Path!
Shifting all of her force into her sword, she gripped it with both hands and slashed towards the Shard's head.
*BANG!!!!
Colliding with the head of the Shard, Shiro was knocked back by a burst of wind but she managed to leave another wound.
"Error!" Shouting towards the stream of circuits, Shiro pointed at the shard's head which now had a sword wound on the cheeks.
Seeing this, the circuits glowed menacingly and lashed out towards the wound without hesitation.
The shard wanted to raise his hands as defence but Error pried them apart before diving into the wound.
The circuits surrounding the shard's body disappeared as they started to attack his head.
*URAHHH!!!!
Crying out in anger, the shard slammed his hand down and summoned an array of wind bullets before aiming them at Shiro. Since she was the one who cast this 'spell' if he killed her, the spell would end.
Sensing danger all around her, Shiro widened her eyes and quickly dashed out of the way.
Moving back occasionally to dodge the bullets that he had fired to intercept her path, Shiro tried her best to stay alive while Error attacked him on the inside.
Seeing the pain on the shard's face, Shiro knew that Error was trying his best right now.
Dodging most of the bullets, Shiro was a little late in dodging as one of the bullets hurled towards her head.
Gritting her teeth, she raised her sword.
Phantom Path!
/p>
Using the third move of her phantom path, Shiro tried her best to redirect the bullet but it was rather difficult since the force far exceeded her current limit.
The next best option would be to sacrifice some of her body in order to stay alive.
Shifting her centre of gravity, she allowed the wind bullet to strike towards her left shoulder and arm instead of her head.
*PUSHI!!!!
Shredding up a chunk of her shoulder along with her arm, Shiro shrugged off the pain and quickly dodged the next bullet.
Glancing at her shoulder, she could see that some of her bone had been shredded up as well.
"Tch, rude." She muttered.
While dodging, she quickly created a support cast of sorts so that her arm didn't fall off during her dodges.
Now that she could only use her right hand, fighting the bow was not an option anymore.
Holding the sword with her right hand, Shiro stomped down and threw the sword towards the shard's head.
Despite dodging quite a few of his attacks, it seemed like Error was having some difficulty so Shiro was going to help it out.
Seeing the sword fly towards his head, the shard remembered what had happened last time and summoned a tornado to redirect its path.
However, that was exactly what Shiro was aiming for. Tugging on the chain, she used the inertia to drag herself towards him before summoning her sword back into her hand.
Twisting her body, she stabbed towards the shards eye.
*PUCHII!!!
Digging into the eyes, Shiro twisted her arm and dragged out the eyeball with all her might.
Just as she did this, Error seemed to have gotten the encouragement that he needed as circuits exploded out of the shard's head, shredding up the rest of his body in an instant.
Hopping off the falling corpse, Shiro glanced at Error who was currently bouncing around on her hand in happiness.
Smiling softly, she wanted to pat it when she realised that her left arm is disabled right now.
"Sorry, I'll pat you later." Shiro smiled softly as Error nodded his 'head' before snuggling up to her face.
Resting for a while, it faded back into her hand.
Chuckling softly, Shiro glanced towards the corpse of the shard and saw something shimmer within its body.
Walking up, she saw that it was glowing Sigil that had an icon in the shape of a gust of wind.
Raising her eyebrows, she saw her system get updated.
[You have completed the Tower of Ouranos.]
[You have attained the Primordial Divinity of Ouranos.]
[Primordial Divinity of Ouranos]
-You can fly without limitation
-You can prevent others from flying. If they're as strong as or stronger than you, you can impose difficulties during their flight.
-You have control over the wind and can use it as a weapon to attack or a shield to defend yourself.

-Wind magic is useless against you.
-You have some degree of control over the weather.
-You can apply one of these restrictions three times per day. (Restriction of Ranged Weapons) (Restriction of Magic)
-Restrictions last for 3 minutes.
Reading all of the benefits that came with the divinity, Shiro raised her eyebrow in surprise when the Sigil shattered into light before entering her body.
Receiving all of the things that she needed to know in her mind, Shiro looked at the wind surrounding the roof and snapped her fingers. Dismissing the wind, she walked to the edge and looked down.
Seeing quite a few people surrounding the tower, Shiro understood that this was probably not a good time to head down.
Thinking about it for a moment, Shiro snapped her finger and had the clouds obscure the top of the tower.
Stepping back lightly, she jumped off the edge of the tower.
Just as she was about to unfurl her wings to fly, she felt something stir within her as she was able to fly without unfurling her wings.
Raising her eyebrow, she smiled and launched herself a little further away from the tower.
Landing roughly a mile outside of the city, she made her way back.
There were quite a few people curious about her since there was a giant wound on her shoulder but Shiro ignored their stares of shock.
Walking through the city, Shiro wondered where Quella was staying when a butterfly flickered in front of her.
Understanding that it was Quella's familiar, Shiro followed the butterfly. Soon, she arrived in front of a rather beautiful house with a balcony.
Opening the door, Quella had a smile on her face.
"Come on in, this is my sister's house."
Nodding her head, Shiro walked in.
"I must say, I was half expecting you to look worse than this." Quella chuckled while pointing at her shoulder and the state of her back.
"What can I say? The trial wasn't exactly kind on me. This was the result of two hits. If any of them hit me directly I would have died." Shiro shrugged with her right shoulder.
"Eh? How is your wound on the back not a direct hit?" Quella asked with confusion.
"The attack missed. This was just the result of the attack's effect." Shiro replied as Quella widened her eyes in shock.
In the past, she had seen the heroes bearing similar injuries from direct attacks but for Shiro, the attack had missed. If they had landed, Quella didn't even want to think about the state that Shiro would be in.
"Now if you don't mind, can I get something to eat? I am starving." Shiro asked with a forced smile since she was on the verge of passing out from starvation.
"Oh of course, come, I'll introduce you to my sister too."
Before Quella could lead Shiro further into the house, a beautiful woman approached Shiro.
"I welcome you to my home. Owner of the primordial divinity." The woman bowed with a small smile.
