Chapter 1066 Misu's Agency
Making her way back to the command centre, she saw Nan Tian with a frown on his face.
"What happened?" Shiro asked as Nan Tian glanced back.
"Honestly, it’ll be easier if you saw it yourself." He sighed.
Gesturing towards the screen, he moved aside so that she could see everything.
When she saw what was displayed on the screen, Shiro couldn’t help but frown since she understood why Nan Tian was concerned.
Thiria had just taken over all of the main zones except for the one owned by the Dragon Empress. Looking at her army from the cameras, she could tell that quite a few of them were tier 6 monsters.
’Wait... how many tier 6’s does she have?’ Shiro thought to herself as she understood something quite shocking. As the beast Queen, she has control over most of the monsters roaming around. While her authority is broad and cannot defeat someone like Dragon Empress when it comes to dragons, she has access to a myriad of tier 6’s thanks to the new age bringing more dangerous monsters into this world.
With that being the case, it’s only natural that her army would be constructed of only tier 6’s rather than weaker monsters.
Tapping her finger across the table surface, Shiro took a deep breath and sat down.
"There’s three days left of this event and it seems like Thiria is going all out in securing zones now. She’s not afraid of fighting anyone since only the Dragon Empress poses a risk but she’s not moving from her zone. As long as Thiria doesn’t move against her, she’s safe." Shiro said as Nan Tian nodded his head.
"Yes but at the same time, she’s making herself a target for everyone else."
"I think that’s what she wants. When it comes to tier 6, she’s not losing to anyone. In a world where tier 6 monsters have become common, do you think anyone here can outnumber how many she has got? While we may have quality over quantity, you need to remember that some naturally born tier 6 monsters are in a league of their own. We don’t know what’s the strongest unit that she has either." Shiro shook her head.
"However, we do have one advantage. We have an overwhelming attack force. Before the event ends, as long as we launch several raids against her zones at full strength, we’ll be able to take over the points that she earns and snatch first place."
"Would that work? If we split our forces too much we’ll just get picked off one by one. That’s assuming they have powerful tier 6’s like us. If I have to fight a powerful tier 6 while other tier 6’s are trying to kill me, I can’t say that I would be able to survive." Nan Tian asked as Shiro thought about it for a moment.
"I can deal with that easily. Even though I’ve been taking the front line for most of our fights, you forget that my main skill is ranged artillery. While all of you are fighting, I have the Argus network in space that can help out. Each of them can become a weapon and send down an orbital strike with 100% of my power without harming me. I doubt that there are any tier 6’s that can survive a strike. And if they do, I’ll teleport to the location and fight it personally. Error’s skill is off cooldown so I can extract them if I want." Shiro smiled and created a finger gun with her hand.
"Hmm... alright. It shouldn’t be too bad. When do we want to launch the attack then? If we do it too close to the clock there’s no guarantee. There’s also the problem of her leviathan, remember?"
"I can think of a way to deal with the leviathan later when we run into him. For now, just focus on getting everyone ready for an all out raid. We won’t take anymore zones since we need all of the help we can get. If we do need numbers, we have the soldiers and I’ll make some combat drones. I don’t have any blueprints for them but I’ll figure something out later tonight." Shiro shrugged.
"What do you want to do in the meantime then?" Nan Tian asked since Shiro didn’t say what she was going to do herself.
"I think I want to pay an old acquaintance a visit." Shiro smiled, changing a camera.
Glancing towards the screen, Nan Tian could see an empty crest transform into one with a woman in front of a snowflake. Understanding that the crest most likely belonged to the ice Queen, Nan Tian nodded his head.
"Do you need me to come with you?" He asked since she had her time limit of 10 minutes.
"It’s fine. I’ll see how far I can go since I can’t be relying on you forever now can I?" Shiro shook her head.
"Of course before I leave I need a little recharge." She chuckled. Moving her chair closer, she grabbed his sleeve and relaxed for a moment.
Closing her eyes, she thought about the Questions she wanted to ask the Ice Queen. Since the Ice Queen seemed knowledgeable, Shiro didn’t want to make her an enemy if possible. However, if the need to kill her rises, she wouldn’t hesitate.
Hesitation would only lead to her being taken off guard after all.
Since she was able to win an event even with Thiria participating, she needed to be careful. There’s no telling what she won since they weren’t able to find out.
However, thinking about this, Shiro realised something. If they don’t know, Misu might know since she was in this event.
"Actually, before I go, I’m going to talk to Misu for a bit." Shiro said as she stood up.
"Alright, she’s in her office right now. Instead of something to do with a clinic, she started a detective agency of sorts. She’ll help you find anything you lost or look for a person. If that person is someone that died in the beginning of the new age, she’ll try and find a connection back to them. So far, there hasn’t been anything that required her to revive people but I assume that she’ll be calling for you when the need arises." Nan Tian said as Shiro raised an eyebrow.
"A detective agency?" She muttered in mild surprise since she didn’t think Misu was the type to become a detective.
"Yup. You’ll be surprised at how effective her methods are. Trying to detect a small undead being in an area filled with mana is rather difficult." He chuckled.
Receiving a map on her phone that showed the path to Misu’s office, Shiro left the command centre after saying goodbye.
Since she could teleport, there wasn’t much need to walk there but remembering that she wanted to see how long she could last, Shiro decided to walk there instead. Plus, it was also good to see the city with her own eyes.
Disguising herself, she was glad to see that everyone was happy.
But that was only on the surface. She could still remember the three that died. They had grievances towards her since she had killed their loved ones and didn’t let them into the city.
Understanding that there were probably more people like that, she wondered if her methods were right. Even if the soul was the best factor to judge a person, there was still a chance that dark souls can change. Sometimes it becomes dark due to wounds that they have suffered and the right person can help them.
If she tried to create a place where only the ones with ’good’ souls are then that place would eventually crumble away. By filtering them out to this extent, it’s taking away the chances for people to change and she understands that there are many who are capable of that.
Even if what she’s doing seems merciful to her, some may also just see it as tyranny. She’s not forcing them to stay but she’s also killing those she deemed ’not worthy’ to stay.
Scratching her hair, Shiro sighed.
"Would a third city do?" She muttered. She wasn’t sure how things would work right now since she had to make sure nothing harms the city she has now. Both Asharia and the second city were in a pretty good state since no one here wants to fight so she can’t allow those with too dark of a soul to enter here. Or at least until she was sure.
If she was to create a third city, it should be a decent place to allow those with darker souls to reform themselves.
’I’ll think of it later. Nan Tian should have some good ideas in regards to that.’ Shiro thought to herself since she wasn’t good at dealing with people. To her, what she was doing seemed fine until she learned of what happened to the three. Of course, there’s still a limit since she won’t allow anyone with too dark of a soul to even come close to her city but giving people a second chance should be fine. Unless they spit it back in her face. At that point her mercy would have run out.
Arriving outside of Misu’s building, Shiro looked at the name of the building and the corner of her eye started to twitch.
