When she said additional skill, it could be said that it was two skills rather than just one since the skill had two effects. One that activated on different conditions.
The first activation condition was that she needed to be in a demi god form.
For the second activation condition, it was that she needed to enter her god form.
[Divine Presence – Divinity of Nanobots]
Demi god Activation – When activated in Demi God form, you bring out the maximum potential of your divinity during that period of time, anything and everything can be turned into nanobots, including living beings. Anyone who does not have a resistance towards divinity is suppressed by you and depending on the difference in strength, they will be eliminated immediately should you decide to convert their entire body into nanobots.
Duration – This lasts until your demi god form runs out. Can be turned off manually.
Cost – N/A
Cooldown – N/A
Backlash – You feel twice the amount of pain they feel once the skill ends, your divinity is weakened for two days and you receive a 20% decrease to your divine energy.
God Activation – When activated in God Form, anyone under tier 6 is unable to attack you. Tier 6 entities receive a 30% decrease to stats and once they are weak enough, can be turned into nanobots immediately. Those under tier 6 cannot fight against this unless they have a skill that can prevent the conversion of their body using divine energy. As you become more powerful, the minimum requirements to attempt to attack you will increase until only gods can fight against you.

Your power over nanobots will reach their peak during this state.
Duration – This lasts until your god form runs out. Can be turned off manually.
Cost – N/A
Cooldown – N/A
Backlash – No limit. Minimum backlash is 90% decrease to stats and access to nanobots is temporarily disabled for half a year.
Reading this skill, Shiro was shocked at one of the sentences.
‘Your power over nanobots will reach their peak during this state’.
Whether or not that meant her nanobots will become as strong as they ever could be or just how strong they could become with her current power, Shiro didn’t know but the fact that the backlash was half a year of disabled access caused to think that it was the former.
Just imagining the power of her nanobots at the peak caused her heart to pound with curiosity.
Plus, she could casually turn those below tier 6 into nanobots if she wished!
Their effort, the time and dedication they took to reach this legendary tier and yet it is gone with a snap of a finger.
Thinking on this point, Shiro couldn’t help but wonder what would happen to her? Sure she was the controller but there have been instances where the nanobots harmed her during the process.
If her nanobots reached the peak of their power, would she be consumed in an instant?
Shaking her head, she kept a mental note of this and understood that she shouldn’t casually use this ability since the risks could be much bigger than anything she could imagine.
Looking at the corpse then at the demons, she could see that they wanted to know their identity.
With a few mana signals coming in from the distance, Shiro understood that the candidates were coming back.
“See if we can, get some of the monster’s skin as well as samples so that we can analyse what the hell was up with it. If we can make something from its skin, we might obtain armour that is highly resistant to magic and it’ll be helpful for Madison.” Shiro said over the mic as Helion was already collecting the materials.
But with the sheer size of the monster, it was hard to grab large amounts into their inventory.
However, Yin solved that by storing it in her Rift which surprised her.
“Yin, isn’t your food in there? Why are you keeping a corpse in there?” Shiro asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Oh it’s fine, I got plenty of space. Plus, I’ve already isolated it.” Yin grinned as her speciality was more focused on the rift compared to Shiro so it’s only natural that her rift was ‘better’ in some aspects.
For example, Shiro can only stay in there for a certain amount of time before being forced out but Yin can decide to stay there forever and she’ll be fine. Of course, she’ll need to come out for food but that was about it.
“Since you have now stored away the entire corpse, I think we should leave now.” Shiro said as she still can’t believe that Yin could actually store everything away.
“Ah but first let me leave something for these demons since it’ll be unfair to take everything.
Opening a portal to the rift again, Yin dropped a large cylindrical piece of flesh that was seared at one side and the other seemed to be cut off cleanly by the closing of the portal. Dropping it on the beach, the sheer size of the thing towered over the surrounding buildings like nothing.
“What part is that? We don’t want to give them something too important now.” Shiro asked as Yin grinned.
“It’s the p*nis. You burnt like 70% of it so it’s much smaller than its original size.” Yin laughed as Shiro stayed silent and sighed.
“Forget it, let’s leave before the candidates arrive.” Shiro shook her head and created portals for everyone before the demons could ask them anything.
###
Arriving at the scene, one of the higher ranked candidates narrowed his eyes while looking at the large piece of flesh that was here.
Looking at one of the recordings that only captured a small part of what had happened, he saw Shiro’s final devastating attack and understood why Nostic wanted everyone to team up. Plus, there was now evidence to his claim of perhaps dying even if he reached tier 6.
After all, she managed to kill a monster that had an abnormal resistance to magic along with the fact that it could fire tier 6 spells.
They were forced to seal the monster away last time but she actually dealt with it which meant that she was much stronger than them combined. Unless Nostic reached tier 6, there was indeed no fighting chance.
Scratching his head in annoyance, he sighed heavily.
“Pheram, send a message to Nostic for me.” He called out to his assistant.
Flickering next to the candidate, a mature demon bowed slightly.
“Tell him I’m willing to use everything we have to help him reach tier 6 so long as we come to a few agreements that are overseen by the system.”
“Understood.”
Watching the mature demon disappear, the candidate looked at the sea that was still recovering and clicked his tongue, cursing their luck for someone like this to appear in the demon continent at this time.
‘What even is her goal.’ He thought to himself before leaving the area.
News travelled around quickly and now most of the demons know of a party of strange individuals of great strength. They could take down one of the unkillable beasts with ease and the female members possessed beautiful appearances that were far above the standard.
One individual in particular that they focused on was a white haired beauty that dealt the final blow to the beast. The demons heard that the skies had darkened due to her rage and a torrent of destruction was called down on the monster with a single wave of her hand.
Some even said that she was stronger than the rank 1 candidate but they were quickly disposed of by the supporters of Nostic who seemed to be furious at these rumours.
In their eyes, Nostic was the strongest. Sure they may have been forced to seal away the monster long ago but years have passed and Nostic would have improved since then. There was a good chance that he could do the same.
Naturally, this didn’t bother the party at all since they were spending their time experimenting and analysing the materials that they had received from the giant corpse.
Helion was working on new armour, Aarim was working on spells that could bypass biological traits such as resistance to magic so that if they see something like this again, they wouldn’t be surprised.
As for Shiro, she disguised herself and went around the place gathering information.
She heard all of the rumours about the party but at the same time she had gathered more information on the candidates with a few simple lines that worked like a charm since most of the guards were annoyed by the rumours.
“Oh? How would ‘so and so’ defeat the boss then? What would they do to counter the rumoured magic resistance?” Asking questions like this caused the guards to brag about the candidates they were under. While it could be exaggerated, Shiro was able to get a general idea of how they worked.
She managed to get quite a few bits of information regarding candidates ranked 10 to 4 but the top three were a mystery to her even after searching around.
She wanted to search some more but Helion told her to regroup since he made a breakthrough with his experiments with the skin.
