Chapter 901 The Age of Demons and Gods

After finishing all of the work that she needed to do, Shiro looked at the city from the command centre and smiled. There haven’t been any more cases of assault towards the demons and the prisoners have been released. While 200 of them were banished from the city since they refused to follow rules, the rest were accepting of their clear breach of the rules and understood that they were now allies.

Of course, they still had grievances in their heart but at least they could try to be peaceful with the demons now.

’The races in the city are now at peace and the shops are functioning properly. Most of the things are done and the gateway can be sorted once Estrella wakes up. I think we’re pretty much sorted.’ Shiro thought with a smile as Nimue agreed.

{You’ve been quite busy over the last few days. Maybe you should go have a break now. I know you had a nap thanks to Nan Tian completing your tasks for you but you need something more than that.}

’Maybe. But I don’t think I can rest. You feel it too don’t you?’ Shiro asked as her smile faded.

*Sigh...

{Yeah I can. The level of mana is rising with every passing moment.} Nimue nodded since this was a clear sign.

Making a portal to the spirit world, she could see that the sky had completely lost its l.u.s.tre and the entire world had lost its colours and the sky swirled slowly like a whirlpool of darkness.

There was only a single piece of clear sky that was slowly being swallowed by the darkness.

Narrowing her eyes, Shiro estimated that it would take around an hour or two to completely disappear.

Once that happens, there is a good chance that the new age would arrive.

Leaving the spirit world, she sent out a notice through the city, informing them of the possible arrival of the new age.

Calling for everyone important to come to the command centre, Shiro looked at them with a serious expression.

"You’ve seen the notice so I won’t say much. The new age is probably arriving today so we should plan out what we’re going to do the moment it arrives. We know we need to place down anchors but doing so will weaken us. Thankfully, with me, Madi and Isilia being allied, your anchors probably count towards our overall strength as a city.

"Right now, we have one anchor each so our city is 3 anchors strong, I suppose if I was to give it a value. We know that each Queen will probably have at least one branch anchor so our goal the moment the new age starts is to drop one branch anchor and possibly more if the situation permits it. We have 5 tier 6 beings so me, Madi and Isilia being weakened a little should be ok. Since we have two more. Lisandra is also trying to reach tier 6 so they can act as the guards for now. I’ve already sent some information to my parents so they should be attempting to breach tier 6 sooner or later. Once that happens, we’ll have 8 tier 6 beings in total. We don’t know how many tier 6 guards other Queens have since it was limited with their initial entrance.

"But, once the new age begins, we can estimate that they’ll have just as many or even more than what we have so we can’t charge in without any information. Of course, that means we can’t play all of our cards on the tables so we’ll move with a few selected members to make them believe that the number of tier 6’s we have are on the low end. Plus, they’re more inclined to believe this since reaching tier 6 in our world is rather difficult. For them, their world has already experienced the new age so the number of tier 6 is ’common’ for them I suppose. Even if it’s only a handful.

"For now, I want us to secure anchors in three locations that should be possible for us." Shiro smiled as a map of the current world appeared in front of them.

The detail on the map was surprising as it even showcased the territories that haven’t been explored by man.

"I don’t know if the map will stay the same but the three locations I want us to secure are Tokyo, Lerit where the government city is and finally, this city near the outskirts called Nilluk. It’s home to a race of people called the Navuri and I’ll deal with them since they have their own language. Madison, I want you to go with Keiko to Tokyo while Isilia can deal with Lerit with my parents. The government already shows them respect and with what Grangel had told me, the government is supporting us so accomplishing this shouldn’t be too hard.

"Madison, you’re used to subduing stubborn people with your little demonstration so you’ll do just fine in Tokyo. You can be a bit harsher if you want since there’s not much room for negotiation once the new age arrives. After you place down your anchor, notify me and we’ll reinforce the city a little and see if we can move the teleport shrine away and replace it with our own. That way the Queens can’t just invade with ease." Shiro instructed as Madison nodded her head.

"Ugg... At this rate I might as well be known as a tyrant." Madison wanted to cry since this wasn’t exactly her ideal performance as a Queen.

"Tyrant or not you have to admit that it’s rather effective on the demon race." Shiro chuckled as Madison nodded.

"Wouldn’t placing anchors open us up to attacks, especially with the internet informing everyone about our location?" Isilia asked as this was one of her bigger worries.

"That’s fine if they want to attack since we’ll have the home turf advantage. Of course, that doesn’t mean we can just proceed without care but once you’re in your own territory, don’t be too afraid. If you do need help though, you have these guardians to act as your front line. They have no duration and they have the same stats as me with the added benefit of having defence that’s guaranteed by the god of smithing himself." Shiro smiled while giving them a piece of the runic guardians.

"So you’re telling us that each of us have a Demi God ranked golem to help us secure the anchor?" Madison raised her eyebrow.

"Yup. However, if the Queens are more powerful than expected, don’t hesitate to send us an emergency call since I can open up a portal for everyone and we can arrive as reinforcements." Shiro smiled as they nodded their heads while looking at the runic guardians.

"Say, if we were to let say activate this item when you’re a god, wouldn’t that mean we’ll have god tier golems?" Madison asked as Shiro nodded her head.

"Yup since they copy my stats. Of course, just copying my stats doesn’t mean they can fight as well as I do." Shiro shrugged.

"True. But it’s still a golem that can crush you with a single hit." Isilia shrugged.

"Maybe if I was a warrior class but all of the points are in INT even though I don’t think it uses magic." Shiro laughed as they joked around for a bit since the initial plans had been set.

"So after setting the anchors, we still need to think about who we want to eliminate first don’t we? For you to win we need to make sure we’re the only Queen faction remaining in the end and I don’t think many of the Queens are going to be happy with that." Nan Tian asked as Shiro thought about it for a moment.

"Let’s stick with the plan of taking out the Beast Queen first. She’s the only one that we have information on after all." Shiro suggested.

"For the attack on the beast Queen, me and Nan Tian will take the vanguard first since we only know where her branch anchor is. If we can track down her other anchors, we’ll be able to eliminate most of her strength quickly. After securing the first anchor, Isilia, I want you to help me with a bit of research so that we can potentially track down her other anchors using the branch anchor as a reference. Since they empower here, there’s definitely a signal that we can use to track her down." Shiro smiled.

"Sounds fun. We’ll have to do it quickly though since she’ll definitely bring reinforcements to kill us." Isilia chuckled.

"it’ll be fine. If that happens, we’ll just fight it out with her." Shiro smiled.

Talking for a little longer, their conversation was cut short when all of their systems rang at one.

[The tutorial for this garden has officially ended.]

[Some information regarding the age of Demons and Gods will be distributed for you.]

[For those that aren’t Queens, it is in your best interest to ally yourself with one and survive.]

[For the Queens, the system wishes you luck.]
