"Iris..." Xolotl paused for a mont. "She... I don’t know. I can’t actually comprehend her talent."
"What do you an?" Nyx tilted her head in confusion. Xolotl looked like soone who knew everything. Yet, for so reason, he couldn’t answer this question.
"Her talent is just too weird for ." Xolotl shook his head helplessly. "On the one hand, I think her barrier ability is good. She can make sothing 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 sothing beyond the barrier."
"Sothing beyond?"
Xolotl ca 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 soone who cos from our world."
"What? You an..." Nyx gasped.
"To put it briefly, the original Nathan from this world summoned him into this world. anwhile, 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 soone who will expose everything I’ve heard. I swear by my true na."
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 tal 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 fundantal to creation."
"Do you an a God of Creation?" Nyx frowned. If Iris could beco 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 mont. "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 ti, she should be called the Futuristic God of Creation."
"Still God of Creation, but this is indeed interesting." Nyx thought for a mont. "Shouldn’t we recomnd 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 mory 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 beco. "Now I understand why you are confused."
"Right? Nathan is probably the only one who has an image of what she will beco. 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 rembered 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 beco a terrifying goddess. Her talent was a bit weird, but if Nathan’s plan worked, she might beco as strong as Selena, Luna, and Evelyn at the very least.
Or her strength might beco 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 sothing that even I find terrifying. If he can continue at that pace and beco 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 becos an Origin God. The Outer Gods are superior to the Origin God, but if my summoner can beco a monster even among Origin Gods, I’m pretty sure that he will beco an equal to those Outer Gods. At that ti..."
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 ti."
"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 mont. "Actually, I have been aning 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 that’s his actual talent, and I sohow can’t refute it.
"So, my answer is the sa as the one Fenrir gave to back then. His talent... is his ability to turn random bullshit into reality."
