Watching Shiro rip parts of the tower off and jam it into the void while metal repaired the tower to stop them from falling, Nine was speechless.

'From what I last remember, she should be rather low level a little more than a year ago. Did she spend all of her time in the dungeon to get to this level? That shouldn't be the case since she would look a lot older. Hmm… then she probably just kept killing things to get to this stage.' Nine thought to himself.

Since both he and Iris were locked away for a while, they didn't know too much information about the outside world. Only little rumours since they travelled with a small group that talked about Shiro.

"I've sent the star chart into the void. If you want to see it, just tell me and I'll open a portal. If I wasn't trying to obtain creation then I could probably shrink the room down into a projection globe that's an upgraded version of your cards." Shiro shrugged as Iris nodded her head.

"Thank you very much. Being able to obtain this is already a boon." Iris smiled.

"It's fine, it's not like I need it anyway. Anything you require just tell me and I'll retrieve it for you.  But setting that aside, we're going to go on a small detour. I want to talk to the Queen that ransacked this place and see if we can come to an… agreement." Shiro smiled as Iris and Nine paused.

"Are you sure? The Queens are quite hostile. I doubt they'll be as kind as to give you what you want." Nine reminded as Shiro waved her hand.

"It's fine, I got a small reputation amongst them. You don't need to worry." Shiro smiled as Nine looked at Iris before nodding his head.

"Plus, if I'll protect the two of you. You have my word for that." She reassured, before making her way out of the tower.

Looking at Shiro's back, Nine hesitated since they were still going to the headquarters of a Queen! That's suicidal in his books. However, remembering that she forcefully levelled a dragon up to level 999 and killed it, Nine figured that she had everything under control. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

"Let's not fall behind. Our fate is already tangled with hers." Iris smiled as she walked out of the tower while Nine followed behind her.

Summoning the jet, Shiro smiled and wordlessly gestured to the seats.

Seeing this, Nine paled but resigned to his fate.

In the distance, monsters could hear a sudden scream before it was too far to be heard.

Reducing her speed slightly, Shiro glanced at the radar that was synced to the threads that she had linked to the Queen.

Seeing that she was across the sea, Shiro wondered what kind of Queen this was going to be. Depending on what happens, she might have to ditch the idea and escape to the void but if it was someone troublesome, she'll try to kill them regardless of what happens.

Glancing out of the window, she could see schools of giant fish monsters that would jump out of the water before swimming back down to the depths. Compared to what it was like before the new age, the sea has become a no man's land.

All of the underwater dungeons have broken and the monsters within have been released.

Glancing at Shiro who seemed a little concerned about what's in the water, Nine glanced down and shuddered.

'Seems like she's worried about the water monsters.' Nine thought to himself. Little did he know, that was not the case at all.

'I wonder if their flesh is rubbery or tough. Hopefully it's on the softer side since making them into soup would be tasty. Maybe I should mark this location and come back another day for fishing so that Yin can cook up a banquet.' Shiro thought to herself as she couldn't help but swallow her saliva in anticipation. She could almost taste the fish meat.

Shaking her head, she tried to focus on the task at hand but couldn't resist glancing down at the fish.

"F*ck it, we're going spear fishing." Shiro clicked her tongue and snapped her finger.

Hundreds of tier 6 magic circles appeared above the ocean as ice spears formed in the air.

Piercing into the water, they stabbed deep into the monsters and froze them into ice cubes. While they may be big, their levels we're too high, only around level 600 to 700 so taking care of them was easy for Shiro.

Sending one to the void for herself, she transported the others to Yin's part of the rift. Since their powers were connected, Shiro could naturally access Yin's private stash of snacks and food. Placing the fresh fish a little further away so that it wouldn't give the snacks a fishy smell, Shiro looked at the fish in her own inventory.

'We should have some time to eat before talking to the Queen.' Shiro thought to herself.

Landing the jet the moment she saw some land, Shiro didn't hesitate to walk to a clearing and slammed her hand down. A tier 6 magic circle expanded out as the ground beneath her started to shake.

*BOOM!!!!

Using her Fire and Earth attunements, Shiro created a volcano for it to act as a fire for the giant fish that she was about to cook.

Creating a giant metal bowl with her Metal attunement, Shiro filled with water and snuck into Yin's Private stash to nab a few seasonings and complimentary items to throw into the soup.

Watching all of this happen, Nine was speechless. In front of him, Shiro was reshaping the land itself in order to cook some fish!!??

". . ." Even Iris was speechless. While she may not be able to see what's happening, her mana senses were telling her all the information she needed. The amount of mana that Shiro was using was…. Shocking to say the least.

'Isn't this already creation? She's shaping the world for her own benefit.' Iris thought to herself.

Sensing that the two were staring at her, Shiro glanced over.

"There's plenty of fish for everyone. The soup will be done in a second since my fire is strong. It'll be cooked soon." Shiro called out with a smile.

While she may not be able to use nanobots, she could still use her time runes.

Summoning Silvanis, Shiro stabbed it into the mount and activated the runes. A tier 8 magic circle appeared as Shiro sped up the boiling of the soup so that the flavour of the fish could spread to the rest of the soup.

Watching this happen, Iris felt like she was just kicked in the head by a dragon. Due to her sensitivity to mana, she could clearly tell what the hell Shiro had just done.

"Nine." Iris muttered as Nine looked over.

"She's controlling time right now. She's controlling time to make the soup taste better…" Iris said as Nine's face palmed and looked up at the sky.

However, this wasn't going to stop them from eating the fish since they were indeed a little hungry.

###

After finishing their meal, the three of them walked the rest of the way since it was good to digest what they ate.

Looking at the castle in the distance, Shiro could already sense a somewhat powerful mana signal from within and knew that it was the Queen.

The moment she stepped in, she got the notification that she was in another Queen's domain and curled her lips into a smile.

"Iris, how sensitive are you to mana? Are there any adverse effects if you sense a really powerful source?" Shiro asked as Iris thought about it for a moment.

"It'll make me uncomfortable but nothing too serious." Iris said as Shiro thought about it and nodded her head.

"In that case then I'll give you a barrier since your senses might not like what's about to happen." Shiro smiled as she started to walk towards the castle.

With each step, her mana erupted out of her body as the area around her started to freeze.

Pausing in shock, Iris couldn't believe what she was sensing. Even with the barrier, she could still make out the shape of the aura. It was similar to seeing something through a glass window. Feeling the mana increase with every passing moment, Iris became pale from shock since it was inconceivable for someone to have this much mana hidden within their body. Even if she was to gather everyone in a large city, their mana would still be inferior to Shiro!

Imagining what this could mean for her INT stat, Iris shuddered. What will happen if she fired everything toward the Earth? Could the planet withstand her might?

Thinking about these questions, Iris wondered why she even wanted to obtain the power of creation when she's this strong. However, she felt that it's not the right time to ask just yet so she made a mental note on her question while following behind Shiro.

In the distance, she could see an army of humans and monsters lining up with fear written on their faces. Despite their large numbers, they were fearful of the girl in front of them that walked with a carefree smile.

Appearing from a portal, a blue haired woman with red eyes glared at Shiro.
