Chapter 815 - New York Destroyed Again

On their way back to the sect, Nan Tian asked Shiro about the third queen that was in New York but Shiro's only response was to show him a news article that was published not too long ago online which showcased her parents facing off against the queen.

"The nanotech accessories that I gave to my parents haven't reacted yet which means that they're safe. With the queens at their weakest the moment they try to take over a city, even a tier 6 entity should be something that my parents can take care of. After all, they're quite talented." Shiro chuckled with full trust in her parent's capabilities. After all, they have both technique and physical power.

"Mn well considering how easily defeated these queens were compared to the last one we had to face next to the spirit capital, your parents have a high chance of succeeding." Nan Tian nodded his head.

"Plus, there's a clear difference between the branches and the main anchor. At the main anchor, not only would they be at close to full strength, they'll also have tier 6 guards with them. Hell, the guards might even be more powerful depending on the situation. I can only imagine that they didn't have tier 6 guards follow them to stabilise the branch anchor was because they needed someone to defend the real anchor." Shiro theorised as Isilia nodded her head.

"That's rather accurate. Until the new age begins, they're only allowed a certain amount of guards with them. If they don't have the guards defend their anchor, there is a risk of having the enemy eliminate them immediately. Plus, most of the queens don't expect people to be able to stand up to them right now since the average power of people in this world is rather low compared to them. Some of the queens are rather arrogant in thinking that they cannot be defeated at all before the new age begins. Otherwise, they would not have been this eager to capture a city. Once the new age starts, each city they capture is a chance for the enemy to damage them so if they want to take over a territory, they'll be more cautious." Isilia explained as Shiro nodded her head.

"Makes sense. How do you even make a branch anyways?" Shiro asked since it seemed like Isilia was rather knowledgeable about this subject.

"Well you'll know once you set up your main anchor. Don't tell me you haven't done that yet?" Isilia furrowed her brows.

"Not yet. *Cough!* I've been rather busy so I haven't got around to doing it. Plus, I'm gathering the materials needed right now." Shiro explained as Isilia sighed.

"You need to do it quickly then since you have an advantage over other queens due to the fact that you're from this world. If you don't take advantage of this, it'll be quite a waste." Isilia explained.

"I know. I'm just waiting for the materials now. Did you know a while ago I didn't even have a chance to make the anchor since I was lacking the main component and the system didn't provide it to me like it did with the other queens." Shiro sighed.

"Eh? You didn't get your anchor from the system? How are you even supposed to make it?" Isilia asked in disbelief. When she became the Elven Queen of Aria, she had the system ask her where she wanted to set up her anchor so it was rather easy for her. However, if someone was to ask her how to make and set up an anchor manually, she didn't have a clue!

"Well it needs some materials from this world as well as a key component that I've managed to acquire now. All that's left is for me to go back to the spirt capital and construct it myself. I've gotten enough information to do it I just need the materials." Shiro replied since she made sure to remember as much information about the anchors as she could from the future.

"I see…. Well in that case then the system might not tell you about how you can set up a branch anchor. I'm not clear on the details either since all I know is that the system will help you set it up." Isilia frowned as Shiro shrugged.

"That's fine. I have a skill that allows me to ask the system in a few months so if I'm not able to set up an anchor, I can just ask it." Shiro explained as Isilia paused again.

"Wait, you can ask the system?"

"Mn, the skill increases my authority level to the point where I can get information on things like the entire map of the world and so on." Shiro smiled as Isilia was stupefied. Despite all the efforts she had to go through, she could only scratch the surface and yet Shiro could access information of much higher priority with just a single skill.

"Hais… you never change. The fact that you can say ridiculous things without batting an eye is crazy." Isilia sighed with a small smile.

Shrugging her shoulders, Shiro was about to say something when she received a request for communication.

"Give me a moment."

Materialising an ear piece, she accepted the request.

"My Empress, we have collected all of the materials that you have asked us to collect." Samuel reported as Shiro nodded her head.

"Speaking of the anchor, it seems like most of the materials have been gathered, I just need to get some of the rarer stuff from my teacher and I can start setting down the first anchor. Once I do that, I'll be properly recognised as a Queen." Shiro glanced towards Isilia with a smile.

"I suppose our trip to the sect has been cancelled then." Isilia smiled.

"Mn, we'll it's a good chance to meet my parents since my teacher said that he'll give the items to them."

With a change of plans, the five of them found a nearby teleport shrine and teleported to New York.

Seeing the state of New York, Shiro couldn't help but shake her head at this unfortunate city. Earlier this year, it had survived a calamity from the Black Monarchy and now it had barely survived a fight between three of the strongest entities in this world. Shiro couldn't help but wonder if this beginner city was cursed or not.

Pulling out her phone, she gave her parents a call and found out that they were currently helping with cleaning up some of the debris along with helping the injured.

Relaying the information to the rest of them, they made their way to the scene.

"Mum, dad." Shiro called out with a smile.

Seeing Shiro smile like this, Isilia couldn't help but feel happy in her heart since she could already tell that Shiro was much happier now compared to her time in Aria.

"Shiro you're here. And these two are?" Mio asked while glancing towards Li Jian and Isilia.

"This one is called Li Jian, the adoptive father of this kid." Li Jian grinned as he patted Nan Tian's shoulder.

Hearing Li Jian calling him kid, Nan Tian couldn't help but shake his head with a soft sigh.

"I am called Isilia. I am Lyrica's mother whom you may have met." Isilia smiled.

She didn't mention her friendship with Shiro just yet since there was the chance that her parents don't know about her past lives just yet. She didn't want to say anything extra without knowing the situation.

"Ah I see… It's nice to meet you both. I'm Mio and this is my husband Koji." Mio smiled while Koji greeted the duo with a smile.

"Since introductions are over, what are the casualties like mum?" Shiro asked as she was more concerned with the people who might have died in this fight. With her control over souls, as long as they haven't died a long time ago, she'll be able to revive them in a sense and heal their body back.

After all, a fight between powerhouses wasn't something these poor folk could survive.

"It's rather high since a single swing could have killed hundreds. We tried to keep collateral damage to a minimum but the casualties are still ridiculously high. We've already called in several clerics to help but the progress is slow since the high level clerics are at the front lines." Mio frowned as she explained the situation.

"Mn, I think I can heal them so long as they haven't died for a long time. I just need to make sure that they're in a safe spot otherwise when I revive them they'll be crushed immediately." Shiro said as Isilia raised her eyebrow.

"I thought you are a fighter or mage class. How come you can heal too?" Isilia asked curiously.

"It's just a skill of mine." Shiro chuckled as Isilia sighed.

"I had almost forgotten how many skills you can recycle."

"Oh this skill isn't part of that. My skill was something I made but don't worry it's not anything too crazy. Compared to what our old healer could do this is nothing." Shiro laughed since their old healer in the hero party was a monster when it comes to healing. Their power seemed limitless and a single wave could heal an army back to full.

"We've already excavated everyone that was buried so you can use your skill whenever dear." Mio smiled as Shiro nodded her head.
