Save And Load
Stretching her body, Shiro yawned before looking up to see Nan Tian working.
"Did you enjoy your rest?" He asked with a small smile.
"Mn, haven't had a good sleep like this in a while. How long did I sleep for?" Shiro asked while rubbing her eyes.
"Only 3 hours or so, are you sure you don't want to sleep for longer?"
Shaking her head, Shiro wondered if there were any hot drinks in her inventory. As must as she enjoyed juice, she wanted something warm right now and warm juice was not exactly her favourite. The fact that it exists felt like heresy to juice in her eyes.
Checking the time, Shiro contemplated to herself for a moment before opening her mouth.
"I was thinking that we should go to the North Pole to check out the egg together but perhaps it's better to have Asharia nearby as backup. If the Administrator told me that I should be there for this then it's either very dangerous or very beneficial. Regardless having Asharia nearby would be reassuring." Shiro said as Nan Tian thought about it.
"Perhaps. Though if it's dangerous then it could put the whole city in danger. What if we have Asharia stand by in the void while the main party and the Ancient Lords can wait by the research station."
"True. Who knows, they might have information that they're allowed to say once the second half arrives." Shiro said as she shrugged her shoulder.
Seeing that there were no drinks in her inventory, Shiro pouted until she noticed that Nan Tian had pulled out a cup of hot chocolate in front of her.
Raising her eyebrow, she wondered where he even got it from.
Understanding her confusion, Nan Tian tapped the table as a holographic display appeared, showing him a selection of drinks.
"After you gave me most of the controls, I figure I'll program a drink machine in most of the rooms. You can just select which drink you want and the nanobots will obtain the ingredients from the food hall and make you the drink." Nan Tian explained while tapping a hot chocolate for himself.
Suddenly, a cup appeared in front of him as a small portal could be seen on the bottom. Little by little, it began to fill up with hot chocolate.
Once it was done, he raised the cup with a smile before drinking a mouthful.
"Handy. I'll be honest I didn't think to make something like this." Shiro admitted.
"Well you think of all sorts of things to make someone's life easier. Anyways, shall we make our way to the North Pole then? That way we have more time to set up some defences just in case they're needed."
Nodding her head, Shiro finished her drink and sent out an alert for everyone to not panic if they feel any tremors as it is merely the city teleporting to their next destination.

Glancing at the notification, Aarim tossed her mana stick aside and wore her coat properly.
"Seems like Shiro's planning something. With the second half coming in just a few hours, maybe she wants to launch an attack on a god or something." Aarim muttered before glancing back at Aoi who was getting dressed on the table.
She had just performed another full body scan to see if she could tap into the thing that Shiro calls the source code but there was no progress.
Though there was progress in another manner. With the inverse of her tower researching on time, she was able to develop a new skill of sorts while observing Aoi's condition.
Due to the nature of Aoi's body, they needed to reverse the change to its previous state much like loading an old save file. With similar concepts to how she brought her inverse tower to Asharia, it allowed her to gain some new insights which resulted in a mix of a healing spell and combat spell.
It depended on what she used it for but right now, there was two main uses. To revert to a 'save' and to overwrite a 'save' with a previous 'save'.
An example would be saving the information of a person in perfect health. Should they get injured, she can load the old information and make it so that they never got injured. Rather than healing, it was more akin to overwriting their information in the world. Therefore, if the enemy had any skill that would prevent healing, this skill would be ignored since it wasn't technically 'healing' only that it looked like it.
As for the second use, should she 'save' the information of someone being injured heavily like Rokarn and they were to use a skill to regain their full health, she can overwrite their current state and load the old information, making it so that they're heavily injured again.
While the two uses were similar, there was small differences that split them apart. If she was to load an old save, anything happened after that point to their body no longer exists or rather, it technically never happened.
So if she was to 'save' Shiro's base state and Shiro then stacks all of her berserk skills, she could then load the old save while ignoring the backlash. Because technically it never happened and Shiro would also be able to use her berserk skills again.
As for overwriting, it was basically the same but everything still happened. If she saves Shiro being injured by the backlash and then Shiro recovers her health, she can then overwrite the save and make it as though Shiro suffered the backlash twice.
Naturally, this means the berserk skills receive a second set of cooldowns.
The only draw back of this skill is the mana usage since it is overwriting the information of a person. Even with the bonus in mana she got from Shiro, overwriting a save still drained most of her mana.
Aarim figured that once she obtains a divinity and access to Divine Energy, things should get easier but until then, she had to save some mana to use this skill on a powerful energy along with saving a cast to help Shiro should she stack her berserk skills.
'I should probably write up a report of this skill so that Shiro can include it into her plans. Though we'll need to do a few more tests to get a proper grasp on how much mana this uses.' Aarim thought to herself as she left her office.
"Ah, does Shiro know that her dad and Nan Tian's dad aren't around? I think they ran out of teleport orbs since Asharia didn't move around too much." Aarim muttered as both Li Jian and Koji had gone out of the city to do a bit of hunting on their own since they're slacking in levels a bit.
Shrugging her shoulders, Aarim figured that they should be fine, after all, they had some improvements during this time in Asharia.

*BANG BANG!!!
Rupturing the space around her, Keomi glared at the humans who have sided with the Queen they were fighting. Even though it's for their own survival, the crimes they committed were far from forgivable. Doing everything in their power to exploit the people around.
"Unforgivable!" Keomi shouted out in anger as she knows her big sis Shiro won't stand for something like this!
Slamming her fists together, lightning sparked around her as the clouds started to from above the battlefield.
[Keomi LVL 730 Storm Warlord.]
Two lightning dragons formed around her as she pulled her arm back and twisted her body 180 degrees, punching the assassin that appeared behind her.
*CRACK!!!
Slamming her fist into their jaw, Keomi could feel the bones crack from the punch. Lightning leapt off her arm and tore their body apart leaving nothing but a bloody mess.
"Your daughter has certainly made quite the improvement." Li Jian laughed while rubbing his chin.
"Of course, she's my daughter. Though speaking of her improving, if you don't improve fast, she might overtake you." Koji laughed.
"Are you sure that's not you we're talking about? I mean look at yourself, you're practically a walking zombie. Who knows how long you can keep fighting for." Li Jian taunted.
"Bah! Walking zombie? Is that the best insult you got? If I didn't know any better I would think you're a goblin. Look at that face, no wonder you're still single." Koji clicked his tongue.
"Zombie!"
"Goblin!"
"Fine let's settle this the old way! Whoever lands the killing blow on the Queen wins." Li Jian glared as Koji didn't back down.
"Deal!"
*BANG!!!
Clasping their hands together, the air seemed to rupture from the force used as the both of them released their aura and charged towards the castle.
A multi headed dragon seemed to appear behind Li Jian as his aura radiated with a brilliant gold hue while Koji's was an ominous red that seemed to dye the entire world in blood.
