Chapter 1598: Futuristic Goddess of Creation and Nathan’s True Talent
"Iris..." Xolotl paused for a moment. "She... I don’t know. I can’t actually comprehend her talent."
"What do you mean?" Nyx tilted her head in confusion. Xolotl looked like someone who knew everything. Yet, for some reason, he couldn’t answer this question.
"Her talent is just too weird for me." Xolotl shook his head helplessly. "On the one hand, I think her barrier ability is good. She can make something more robust than anyone in the team.
"At this point, I’m not sure whether I should help her talent in creating a barrier or something beyond the barrier."
"Something beyond?"
Xolotl came closer, whispering, "You may not know this, but my summoner is not from this world."
"!!!" Nyx widened her eyes in shock. "What did you say?"
Xolotl nodded with a solemn expression. "He is someone who comes from our world."
"What? You mean..." Nyx gasped.
"To put it briefly, the original Nathan from this world summoned him into this world. Meanwhile, our Nathan was supposed to have died on Earth, so he was summoned here like a familiar or a ghost to reside in that body. The original Nathan was already gone, not even his soul remained. However, make sure you don’t tell this to anyone else. If you say it, I’m afraid that he will be disappointed and not want to work with you anymore."
"I understand. I’m not someone who will expose everything I’ve heard. I swear by my true name."
Xolotl nodded, satisfied. "In any case, that’s the situation. And in the current era, there are so many advanced things in the world. There was a piece of metal that could fly in the sky called an airplane. Mortals could actually go to outer space and return just fine."
"Seriously? Is that still our world?"
"I know, right?" Xolotl chuckled. "In any case, I’ve been wondering if her talent lies in her ability to create things. Unlike the others, her barrier can be fundamental to creation."
"Do you mean a God of Creation?" Nyx frowned. If Iris could become the God of Creation, her potential had to be re-evaluated.
"Well, she has that potential, but not in the way you are thinking." Xolotl paused for a moment. "I wonder if I should teach her all those futuristic tools that I’ve gotten from my summoner’s mind. You know? She could practically create a particle beam by using her barrier to create the ’gun’ and using her compression to create the ’beam.’ At that time, she should be called the Futuristic God of Creation."
"Still God of Creation, but this is indeed interesting." Nyx thought for a moment. "Shouldn’t we recommend her to summon a God of Creation first?"
"I’ve asked that question to my summoner. Apparently, he is planning to lead her in that direction. However, before summoning a God of Creation, he is planning to take her on a small trip by summoning a god with forging skills."
"Forging? Shouldn’t that be for Luna Eleren? Or the memory I received from my summoner was inaccurate?"
"It was accurate, alright. However, Iris hadn’t realized her potential yet. So, my summoner wanted to direct her to the path of creation through craftsmanship first. Then, amplified that talent through the God of Creation."
Nyx couldn’t really imagine what kind of existence she would become. "Now I understand why you are confused."
"Right? Nathan is probably the only one who has an image of what she will become. Then again, he is her master. And it’s not like she will complain because that path is suitable for her and she likes guns."
It was true. Nyx remembered how Iris created a bullet powerful enough that it could actually kill an alien above her rank.
At the rate she was growing, she would become a terrifying goddess. Her talent was a bit weird, but if Nathan’s plan worked, she might become as strong as Selena, Luna, and Evelyn at the very least.
Or her strength might become comparable to Nathan’s.
"It looks like your summoner is... how do I say this?" Nyx scratched the back of her head. "I really can’t describe your summoner."
"Fair point. However, you should have seen his potential, right?"
"Indeed. The power of his divine rule is something that even I find terrifying. If he can continue at that pace and become an Origin God, which I’m sure he will. He may stand a chance against the singularity."
Xolotl nodded. "That’s my plan. I’ll make sure he becomes an Origin God. The Outer Gods are superior to the Origin God, but if my summoner can become a monster even among Origin Gods, I’m pretty sure that he will become an equal to those Outer Gods. At that time..."
Nyx agreed. Nathan might be able to finish what they couldn’t.
Nyx let out a sigh. "Thanks to you, I’m able to grasp the situation regarding our fighters this time."
"Feel disappointed?"
"Not at all. I feel blessed. At least I don’t have to worry about them. The team is solid, and I believe they will be able to surpass us. And with our help, it is possible to complete the mission."
"That’s good, then." Xolotl smiled, satisfied. "Anyway, we should be done here. I should focus on monitoring these girls."
Xolotl wanted to get away, but Nyx’s gaze was locked onto him.
"What?" Xolotl asked, wondering why Nyx kept staring at him.
Nyx hesitated for a moment. "Actually, I have been meaning to ask. Although I know Nathan’s potential, I still don’t know what exactly his talent is. His power is just so unique that I can’t generalize it."
"Oh, that?" Xolotl contemplated. "Well, I was confused like you in the past. But I believe Fenrir knew him best, and I can’t help but agree with him. His talent is not about the Soul Contract, his unique fighting style, his divine rule, or whatever you can think of.
"His talent..." Xolotl paused. "All those contracts, his creations, or even the way he teaches other people... There is one explanation that can link all of them. Fenrir told me that’s his actual talent, and I somehow can’t refute it.
"So, my answer is the same as the one Fenrir gave to me back then. His talent... is his ability to turn random bullshit into reality."
