"Oh? I suppose that rules out the options of saying no then." Nan Tian scratched his head as Shiro nodded happily with a smile.
"Hehe~ Yup. Donât worry Iâll give you extra attention and spare you some more of my power if youâre in danger." Shiro reassured as Nan Tian shook his head.
"If I got more of your power I might accidentally vaporise a city by accident."
"You said it, not me." Shiro shrugged.
"Haha, but sure. Iâll finish some of my tasks here and assign some of the more experienced trainers to the military while Iâm away doing this task. Are you able to spare me a few capable people to help me scout? If It was just me snooping around it might make things a little obvious for them." Nan Tian asked as Shiro nodded her head.
"Sure, just take anyone you need. Granted that theyâre not busy of course." Shiro replied.
"Alright. Also, I made a small app that collects data through the drones. There are three graphs that are updating in real time, the first is a graph that shows the rough estimation of races relationsh.i.p.s with each other on Asharia.
"For example, after the last display of helping humans, the favourability of humans towards demons on Asharia had increased from around 30% to 65%. The current favourability of Elves towards Spirits is 75% while Spirits average around 55% for all the races. Some are higher but thatâs individual stats rather than a race as a whole." Nan Tian explained.
"Oh? Thatâll be pretty helpful then. If we see it decrease we can probably organise something to raise it once more. Itâll make handling this many races much easier." Shiro blinked in surprise as Nan Tian nodded his head.
"Thatâs the purpose of this graph after all. The second graph is what their jobs are so letâs say 20% of the people in Asharia are in the military. Of course thatâs not the truth since that number is a bit lower but you get the idea. The second graph just shows job distribution. Itâs the last graph that Iâm more focused on." Nan Tian smiled as he presented the graph.
Glancing at the graph, Shiro already knew what it was.
"You can make something like this?"
"Mn, itâs not hard considering that a lot of people are talking about you a lot." Nan Tian chuckled.
The last graph was one that showed the favourability towards each leader from the different races.
For the Demons, their favourability with Shiro is 33%, Madison was 50% and the rest was split amongst the other party members including Nan Tian.
For Spirits, Shiro had a massive 92% favourability while the remaining 8% was for everyone else. Theyâll prioritise Shiroâs orders over everyone elseâs orders.
This graph varied from race to race but they all showed that Shiro had a high favourability with all of them.
"Heh~ This one is handy when it comes to putting shrines down. For Spirits, I can probably put more shrines in their platform compared to the other races." Shiro muttered while looking at the data.
"Mn do you like my gift?" Nan Tian smiled.
"Yup. I say, for a young master of a branch, arenât you a little too good at dealing with all these things? If I didnât know, I would have mistaken you for a servant." Shiro grinned as he shrugged.
"Who knows. Youâve been more powerful than me for a while now so the best I can do is relieve your burden in other areas." Nan Tian replied.
Glancing down at his hands, he shook his head.
"I figured that Iâm more of a front liner but after meeting you again Iâm now doing office work."
"True that. But itâs fine isnât it? With the world being so dangerous now, many would jump at the opportunity to just do some office work." Shiro asked as she pulled out some juice.
"Maybe. But regardless, I think I should get a move on. Iâll disguise myself a little and see if I can enter one of the Beast Queenâs cities without writing a contract with her. After all, breaking it after infiltration might be a little annoying considering the backlash. If I canât join without making a contract, Iâll see if there are any other methods." Nan Tian said as he stood up.
"Mn, be careful."
"Pft, even though youâre basically sending me to my death youâre asking me to be careful haha." Nan Tian laughed.
"Oh please, just because Iâm sending you to somewhere dangerous doesnât mean I donât care about your safety. Take this just in case you need to fight. It should help you buy some time for me to arrive." Shiro rolled her eyes and handed him a piece of the rune to summon the Runic Guardian.
"Thanks, Iâll keep that in mind."
Watching Nan Tian leave, Shiro paused for a moment as she wondered if she should have given the mission to anyone else.
With the danger this mission imposes, the one that she trusts to complete this was probably just Nan Tian and Isilia.
Madison was still a little inexperienced for this kind of job so assigning her would be a bad call. Plus, she is also a Queen so arriving at the city would only weaken her.
This was the same with Isilia. Though Isilia was busy with training Lyrica so the only one that could do this was Nan Tian.
Sighing heavily, she finished the rest of her meal quickly before making her way back to the command centre.
Glancing at the left screen, she could see that the gateway to filter out people had finished being constructed and all that remained was waiting for Estrella to wake up.
When she does, sheâll be able to move the gateway to a different dimension permanently so that she can add teleport nodes for more people to use.
"Letâs see... if weâre going to be making our way to Tokyo, a second city is a must. I can probably teleport to Astral Horizons and borrow the abundance of mana there to create the second city with a bit of help.
"Since I donât have a god grade anchor it wonât be as big as the main city but itâll be fine for now." Shiro muttered.
Musing to herself, she couldnât help but imagine a whole fleet of floating cities armed to the teeth with weapons. If something like that was to storm the capital of a Queen, the chances of fighting back was absolutely 0!
Of course, thatâs only if she planned on wiping everything off the map itself but for now though, itâll be fine just being a show of power.
Should any of the Queen use the citizens to threaten her, then sheâll give the Queen no mercy.
After all, she can just revive them right after she killed them. Her favourability would drop but it was a good trade if she can eliminate a Queen.
Her goal was saving the world, not getting the love of everyone.
Cracking her neck, she finalised a few plans before setting course to Tokyo.
Of course, before that, she needed to make a trip to Astral Horizons.
Swiping with her hand, a portal appeared in front of her and stepped through.
Immediately, hot air crashed into her face as Shiro was forced to step back for a moment.
Furrowing her brows, she frowned for a moment before looking at what was in front of her.
She should have been at the top of the mountain but the ground was strangely red.
Feeling a pair of eyes looking at her, Shiro glanced back and froze in shock.
[Ancestral Dragon of Fire LVL 950]
"Erm.... Greetings?" Shiro forced a smile.
Before she could even run, the dragon spat out a tiny puff of flame as Shiroâs body was instantly vapourised.
Activating her Demi God Skill Rebirth, her body was repaired instantly. Quickly jumping through her portal to safety, Shiroâs back was filled with cold sweat.
Panting heavily, she couldnât believe that she would actually run into a level 950 Ancestral dragon that killed her with a single breath. If it wasnât for her Rebirth skill, things could have just ended there.
"Oh my god..." Shiro muttered while calming herself down.
Furrowing her brows, she decided to make the city somewhere else.
###
"Ah... sheâs gone." The dragon muttered with a sigh.
He wanted to greet her but she arrived just as a sneeze was building up.
If it wasnât for that bad timing, he would have liked to talk to her for a bit since he hadnât talked to a person in a long long time.
But the most important part was that she had survived that sneeze. While it wasnât even 1% of his power, not many beings could survive that. After all, he was an Ancestral Dragon close to attaining the status of a Demi God. Anyone below level 900 would die from his sneeze.
Curving his mouth into a smile, he wondered if heâd see her again.
